A green suitcase. bound by copper
rivets and containing a few coils Of
wire, a gtmlet, couple OF hammers
and screw driver. almost caused the
suspension Of business in the Grim
inh Courts Building between I2.sO
and o'clock this afternoon. A cor
don OF firemen gathered about the
flrehouse at Lafayette and White
Streets and directed all pedestrians
to the other sides OF both streets with
the result that nm immense mob
gathered In the vicinity.
There was a suspicion that the
suitcase was bomb.
II was found In a telephone booth
on the ground floor OF the Criminal
Courts Building by a detective who
had observed II lying idle for half an
hour. Tho suitcase was very very
carefully carried over to the fire
house OF Engine No. 80 and very
very carefully deposited on tho floor
OF n large vacant room in the rear.
Hardy adveptrrors approached tho
suitcase and held their ears to Il.
Some declared they could plainly
hear something ticking after the
manner OF a clock. A telephone mes
sage WIS sent TO the Bureau OF Com
bustibles at Police Headquarters and
Expert Bomb Openers John A. Calla-
han and James II. Dixon started IN a
fast automobile for the flrehouse.
When they got there they had TO
fight their way in. Reaching the suit
case, they walked around II three
times and then Callahan pulled out
his knife and prepared TO cut into the
suspicious object.
Al that exact moment n young man
burst through the crowd and cried:
Hey. there! Don't injure me bagl"
And who are your asked Gala
han.
Harley Mozee, repair man for the
New York Telephone Company" re-
piled the young man, proudly display
ing a badge to that effect II was
repairing the phones and left the bag
there while went out 10 lunch"
Whereupon he opened the bag and
displayed the tools. SC, heretofore
