NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-After a
week had passed without investiga-
tors being able to solve the mystery
Of tho Wall Street explosion. they
werc presented today with another
mystery--who placed a package of
dynamite in the Reid Avenue ele-
waited station In Brooklyn this morn
ing?
The package was found by a DO
liceman doing strike duty ON the
Fulton Street limo, which is operated
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany. He soaked It in a bucket of
water md then carried It to his
Headquarters in Brooklyn. Later 1t
was taken to a laboratory In Man
haitian for analysis. ~ "a
Accounts Differ n to Fuse. S
Accounts diner ns to whether a
sputtering fuse was attached. Some
officials reported that Patrolnan SAN
tell. who found It. stamped out a
fuse.
At the laboratory where the pack
age was taken, 1t was said there had
been found two pipe cleaners impreg-
mated with nitrate. These pipe clean
ers. 1t was said, could have served as
fuses. but 1t had not been established
whether either had been lighted. Au-
thorfties seemed to agree that no
percussion caps had been found
Meanwhile detectives Investigating
the Wall street explosion reported
that. through tho Health Department.,
they had been able to Identity the
tag found near the horse attached
TO the death cart which Is believed
to have been the center Of the blast. +
This tag. 1t wos learned, had been
issued In 1918, to the Reid Ice Cream
Company. OF Brooklyn, to certify that
one OF its horses was not afflicted
with glanders. but since then the
horse had been sold three times. The
name OF the latest owner, II known.
was not made public.
Chief William j. Flynn, OF che bu-
reau of investigation of the Depart
ment of Justice, had this to say of
the latest clue:
TT looks good. but like any clue.
1t may blow UP at any time
Police ReprcsS Any ExuItnttoa.
Ihe police. too. repressed any ex-
uitation they may have felt in run
ming down the identity of the tag.
Whie satisfied as to the identity Of
the Dit OF metal. they were not so
certain that, after all. they had
established that OF the horse, for a
report reached them that the animal
itself still was alive and was now
hauling wagon at the Fulton Fi.h
market. Detectives explained that
the tag might easily have been
transferred from one horse to an
other. but that they hoped to estab-
iish through the shoes found on the
dead animal whether 1t was that for
which the tag had been issued.
