October Bomb Explosion in Wall Street When 30
 Killed May Be Solved. FIRST CHEW OBTAINED Secret Service Men to Ques- ton Prisoner Tn Wiscon-
 sin State Prison.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Jan. 1.-- What is believed to be the first di- rect lead to the perpetrators of the New York bomb explosion last October in which more than 30 per- sons were killed and a much larger number wounded, was given last night when Govianni Costello. an Italian ex-convict, was named by Eric Lundblad as possibly having knowledge of the plot. Lundblad is prisoner at the Waupan State penitentiary and made his statement to prison officials.
 His statement was immediately communicated to the Department of Justice at Washington and secret service officials are being sent from here to question Lundblad who has refused to say more than that Cos tello possibly can give some in- formation. :
 The explosion occurred in front of the Wall Street offices of J. P. Morgan & Company, a short distance from the U S. sub treasury build ing. Although numerous secret serv- ice men, hundreds of private detec- tives and all the metropolitan news papers have worked ceaselessly to unravel the mystery, no arrests have yet been made for the deed.
