CHIEF FLYNN OPTIMISTIC

Raymond Clark, foreman Of the gang
Of laborers who were excavating for
the addition to the New York Stock
Exchange at Broad and Wall streets
the day Of the bomb explosion, yester-
day partly identified a photograph OF
Tito Ligi. the alleged draft dodger un-
der arrest in Scranton. Pa. as the man
who ran up to him soon after the ex-
plosion and shouted that it was his
horse and wagon that had been de-
stroyed.
Clark is the fourth person to indi-
cate that there is resemblance be-
tween the photograph of the young
Italian held in Scranton and the driver
Of the death wagon The foreman
picked Ligi's picture out Of a number
of photographs that had been shuffied
and then spread out in front of him.
but he would not say positively it was
the man. He and four other witnesses
win go to Scranton to-day to see II
they can identify the suspect.
William J. Flynn, chief Of the Bureau
Of Investigation of the Department OF
Justice, who arrived here late Thursday
night to take charge of the investigator
said that things Took good on the sur
face" He made it clear. however, that
he Is not going to jump at concIusions
Identification of the photograph by four
persons is considered significant, but he
wishes them to see the suspect IN per-
son. The chief would not make known
the names OF the other witnesses.
Flynn sticks to Trail.
Clark has been the most conspicuous
figure among the witnesses who saw
the driver Of the explosive ladca wagon.
He told his story to reporters the day OF
the explosion and has repeated 1t sew
eral times since.
Chief Flynn has decided that there
will be a thorough investigation into
the leads that the arrest Of Ligi have
developed Speaking of the suspect, the
chief said:
i'He is an admitted anarchiat. he fol-
lows closely the description of the driver
his movements during September. That
is enough to justify me in proceeding
with the investigation. 1t is the most
promising lead thus far
Chief Flynn was reluctant &c discuss
what his investigation had revealed
other than to say that Ligi mingled
with some rather questionable charac-
ters prior to the explosion.
Ligi was arraigned before Federal
Commissioner Ellis in Scranton on the
draft lodging charge and was committed
to the custody of the United States
Marshal in default OF $40. 900 bail. John
Memolo counsel for the prisoner made
application for a writ Of habeas corpus,
but 1t will not be returnabie until next
week Mr.. Memolo complained that he
has not been. allowed TO see his client
since his arrest.
You have tried and convicted this
man in the newspapers of a great mur-
der" the attorney said. ''and we want
TO see copies Of your conversations with
him.
Clue In Sash Weights.
John Cartusciello. Scranton detec-
tive who arrested Iigi, was the only wit
ness at the hearing. He told OF tracing
the young italian from Scranton to Lu-
zerne county after he had failed to re-
spond to the call to the colors. The de-
tective said he found two loaded re-
volvers in Ligi's home the day of the ar
rest and a large quantity of radical lit
erature Cartusciello said the prisoner
had expressed belief In this literature.
Considerable interest was manifested
by the authorities at Scranton In the
finding of a sash weight in the restau-
rant where Lgi had been employed up to
Tuesday as a waiter IL was said that
the weight resembled somewhat the
weights used TO manufacture the Wall
street bomb.
When asked about the sash weights
Chief Flynn said
There Is a sash weight factory In
Scranton. so you can draw your own
conclusions"
