shoes were almost new and had the
union marks Of the farriers still on
them. The two front shoes were old
and had nc such marks. One Of the
blaeksmiths, whose name and address
the police refused TO divulge. after
looking at the new hind shoes, said
he was almost sure that ne put them
on about two days ago. referring par
ticularly to the size, shape and mark
ings.
Expert inspection showed. however,
that the shoes had rot been used more
than two hours. 1t was assumed from
this that the animal had not been en-
p!oyed for work. but was merely held
in readiness for his last job Of drag
ging the bomb wagon to the heart Of
the financial district. ..
Quest Leads to Staten Island
There is a tendency on the part Of
detectives to concentrate on Staten Isl-
and and Brooklyn for more definite IN
formation as to the owner of the death
wagon. They point out that the wagon
was seen coming up from the Wall
Street ferry and that the II. S. I. u.
(Horseshoels international Union)
marks on the shoes were most fire.
quently used in Steten Island, where
horseshoers abound in fairly large
numbers.
The identifying blacksmith was taken
up to West Thirty-ninth Street, where
che body Of the horse is. 1t is not
known whether he found anything to
Identify it as the horse he shod. He
has told the police all he knows about
the man who brought the horse to his
shop, if it is the same horse he has in
mind.
Mr.. Lamb said that a piece of the
WAGON had been found on the ledge of
window on tho twenty four2h floor Of
the Bankers Trust Building. The frag-
mcnt shows that the WAGON was at
least ten years old and probably was of
the type used Cor small stores de-
livery OF such things as butter and
eggs, because Of iss peculiar width. The
harness, it was said, had been traced to
a maker in Kingston, n. Y, but was so
old that it had undoubtedly changed
hands scores of times before it fell
into the hands Of it's last owners.

It vas learned yesterday that three
bundles which were taken to pc bales
OF rags were seen between the statue
q George WASHINGTON in front of the
Sub b-Troasury Building and the eastern
end Of the structure shortly after the
blast. Several persons who came upon
the scene shortly after the explosion
are said to have used two of these

presence of these bales can be con-
firmcd it would indicate they had been
used to wrap the internal machines so
their true nature would escape the eyes
Of those who might look into the wagon
The Department OF Justice people
can hardly believe the iron slugs that
were showered upon the neighbour ood

Of the internal mechanism.
Flynn Clinss to Red Theory
Chief Flynn. who is in charge of the
'"Inral invests cation under the direc-
ion Of Attorney General Palmer, was
.nt.drnt that the "American Anarchist
~htcrs" were responsible for the dis

atcd tn" bomb outrapes Of June.
-. were also back Of the present en-
osion he said, could be seen from the

Two Men Sought by T.. S.
From other sources il was learned
that secret service operatives are iook-
ing particularly for Carlo Trcsca, who
for years had been prominently identi-
fed with certain nnarchistic groups.
The man higher up among the an
archiStS, for whom an alarm has also
been sent cut. is Gnliiana. a pupil of
the famous anarchist Malatestn. These
anarchists arc organized in small
groups OF ten or fifteen men and had
their headquarters at Lynn, Mass.
