 Other interesting developments o1 the day included:
 Announcement by the district at torney's office that Edwin P. Fisch. CT, lawyer and former employe of the French high commission, who sent post card warnings of the dis aster. from Toronto, had virtually eliminated himself from any direct knowledge or complicity in the case after eight hours questioning.

 Identification of the hitherto un- identified body, previously believed as probably that of the driver of the explosive-laden wagon, as that of Elmer w. Kehrer, an unemployed chauffeur.

 Josept Meal, an agent of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is the man who claims to have seen the "death wagon" on Wall street at 1O:30, Thursday morn ing. He said that while walking up Broad street, he noticed an old red delivery wagon in front of the assay office around the corner. The horse appeared broken down, he said and he went over to make an examination finding bad sore under the collar.
 He looked at his watch and mo- ticed it was 10:3O, he told the police, and waited beside the wagon until 11:30 with the intention of serving a summons on the driver, when he was forced to leave. He did not ex- anime closely the contents of the wagon, but described it as "an or dinary dilapidated wagon"
 Meade also told the policee the collar worn by the horse was of the "K" type. This is the kind of collar that was found in the street after the explosion. He also noticed that the ornamental knobs and other markings had been stripped from the harness and in this, too, his de- scription tallies with that of the ma terial found. He also stated the horse had been but recently clipped and that the wagon bore no name but had some numerals on the side.
