BLACKSMITH is A WITNESS

New York, Sept. iS.-Confidence
that the American anarchist nght-
ers" who are believed now to have
caused the disastrous bomb explosion
in Wall street last Thursday would
be brought TO justice was expressed
today by William J. Flynn. chief Of
the bureau of investigation OF thf
department of justsice. ~
Chief Flynn, who has charge Of ~
federal investigation under the 81
sonal supervision Of Atty. -Gens
Mitchell Palmer. said he was certain
from the similarity of circulars found
In a mail box near Wall street at the
time OF the explosion to those found
at the scene OF various, bomb explo-
sions In June, 1919, that the same
crowd OF terrorists was responsible
for both outrages.
1--WE had solved the mysteries of
last years bombs. but were frustrated
in bringing the criminals to justice
when Alfredo Salesado, whom we
were detaining in the New York Of
fee Of the bureau, jumped from a
fourteenth story window during the
night and committed suicide" said
Flynn. THAT tipped our hand and
the crowd got safely out of the coun-
try before we could nab them.
Now in this case we have much
more to work upon at the start. The
similarity Of the circulars makes
available our knowledge of the gang
who committed the outrages last
year. Most of this information has
never been made public and 1t would
not he wise to reveal II now. We
even established the identity OF one
anarchist who was killed by his own
bomb in last years explosion with
much less evidence than we have In
the present case. Torn bits of pink
paper were the only evidence we had
last year, Now we have whole cir
culars dropped into mail box, pre-
sumably by the man who set Off the
bomb half an hour after letter car
rier had emptied the box. In addi-
ton there are the horse and the
broken bits of the wagon on which
the bomb was placed"
A blacksmith called at police
headquarters this morning and
told Capt. Couuhlin he had shod
a strange horse last Tuesday and
he thought he would be able to
recognize the shoes il he inspect
ed them. Il was arranged for
him to look at the shoes.
Particular significance was at
tached to the farrier's statement that
ne had shod the strange horse Tues
day, two days before the explosion,
as experts examining the new shoes
estimated that they had been on only
forty eight hours. Flynn, who yes
terday declined to expand his cryptic
announcement that the driver of the
death wagon was four blocks away
at the time Of the explosion, today

blocks from Wall and Broad streets.
