A hasty identification at Volunteer
Hospital of the body of one of the

wrong body being delivered to the
parents of Robert Westbay, of 232 West
Twenty-fourth Street.
The parents were overjoyed when

The body of young Wcstbay was
identified later, however, at the

turned to the mortuary
This body is that of youn,. man,
about twenty-five years old, and the
only one of the victims that had not

Sister admits Fischer
Denounced Wall Street
Says His Mind Is Unbalanced
and That He Could Not Hare
knOaon of Explosion Plot

Edward Fischer. whose KNOWLEDGE or
Tremonition Of Thursdays explosion in
/ the financial district has become one
Of the most remarkable phases Of the
investigation, lived with his father
t. A. Fischer, sister Maud and a
brother Robert, at 33 West Ninety
second Street. Another sister is the
wife of Robert Pope, landscape
gardener, who followed Fischer to
Canada and caused lis arrest ycstcr-
day.
Members of the family declare
Fischer to have been of unsound mind
for long time, and say several efforts
nave been made to have him committed
to an institution. Miss Fischer, a
public school teacher, said last night:
My brother started for Toronto last
Friday under the impression that he
was still employed by the French High
Commission. Early this week we re-
ceived several urgent requests from
him for money, and my brother in law
Mr.. Pope. went to bring him back.
Edward was once a brilliant tennis
player, and his present unbalanced
suffered while playing at Seabright
several years ago. He is graduate
Of the University of the City Of New
York, and for a short time practccd
law. For years ne has worked but
little and has been to a large extent
! supported by the family
Liquor has been a contributing in
fiuence to his present state, and it Is
noticeable that his peculiar tendencies
become most marked after he has been
drinking. During the recent tennis
.iqIor and became SO disorderly that
| had to request that he be asked by
the management to stay away.
When suffering from hallucinations
be would frequently talk of sympathy
for the common people. He held that
something should be done to Wall
Street. but | am sure he meant rathe r
that it should be restrained by law
than that it should be subjected to
violence. We knew he was not right
and have made several efforts to have
him committed to Bellevue
His talk about the common people
and Wall Street is only one Of the
NANTES tations Of his irrational periods.
At times he tells people he is tEc
greatest tennis player IN the world.
Recently he has talked of interesting
himself in the welfare OF working girls
in Ionker?.
Never Advocated Violence
Il am positive nay brother could
have no p.lor linowlrllgc OF the terrible
explosion Of Thursday. He has never
been in any way identified with radl-
Gals or adv coates Of violence. On the
otner hand. his associates have always

he got off the wagon and walked west
on Wall Street toward Broadway"
to Police Headquarters yesterday and
questioned. Among them, according
to Inspector Lahey, were FIVE repre-
sentative citizens who said they had
seen du Point powder wagon in the
downtown section in the neigh borhood
OF Wall Street prior to the explosion
Inspector Lahey said this wagon had
been accounted for; that it was an
lectrlcally-propelled vehicle that was
carrying paint at the time.
The work of investigating the frag-
ments recovered from the disaster was
carried on by six expert chemists sent
from Washington, under the supervi-
, sion of Inspector Campbell, of the Bu-
=; reau of Mines. These men endeavored
to approximate the size, shape and
nature of the bomb used or the man
ner in which the explosives were
packed in the wagon.
, In addition to the brief report turned
over to the police by the experts who
examined the fragments of the wagon
they generally described it as distinct
~ relic of a style of wagon building
. long since obsolete. 1t apparently con-
tanned many queer parts and had been
repaired many times, chiefly with
parts from other wagons
More than 200 pounds of the slugs
that caused such havoc to the build
ings have been collected and taken to
, Police Headquarters. All of them bear
rust, showing that they had been
broken some time ago.
Steel Pipe in Doorway
Frank S. Hedges. an official of
bonding house in the Mutual Lite
7 Building, turned over to the police a
piece of steel pipe about inches in
diameter, spintered and fused at the
ends and coated with white substance
inside. that was picked up in the door
way, of the building. The Mutual Life
Building is two blocks distant from
the scene of the explosion, yet at the
time the piece of pipe was discovered
it was red hot and it was some time
before it could be handled
In its fight the pipe must have
cleared the top of an ighteen-story
structure.
Another section of the same kind of
pipe was picked up yesterday morning,
Mr. Hedges said. on the roof of
building which is eleven stories high.
In the piece turned over by Mr.. Hedges
tc the police there were holes where
the fused break occurred The pipe
also was fared at one end and slightly
bent and twisted.
