Part of Bomb Found at Milk
Plant, David Claims
Today

County Detective Ferd A. David
In New Brunswick today reiterated
his statements made yesterday re-
garding the condition of the plant
of the Perth Amboy Milk & Cream
Company despite the fact that Henry
X. Golenbock, of the firm of Wight,
Wight & Golenbock, attorney for
the milk company. declared that
David's sta agnents are slanderous
and adds that "eve., a detective Is
liable for damages if his statements
are found not true"
Detective David today said that
his findings Of what he called filthy
conditions at the milk plant were
only incidental to his search for ma
terials used in making bombs, which
he had been informed were stored
In that building. According to De-
Stectiye David he discovered and now
has in his possession a part of the
bomb found in the wagon OF Harry
Langweber, a Perth Amboy mix
dealer in April. The detective as
serts that in addition to a portion OF
this bomb he also found In the pIant
OF the Perth Amboy Milk d cream
Company materials that could be
,sed in making similar bombs. lie
did not make public this information
in his statement yesterday but olo
SO this morning.
Mr.. Golenbock's statement fol-
lows:
",rhere is no pasteurizing OF milk
done in the plant on New bruns-
wick avenue. The only pasteuriz-
ing which is done by the company
il at their plant at Three Bridges'
xryt,i iG OF the
most modern pasteurizing plants III
he state, There is no machinery
ssed in the Perth Amboy plant.
sThe pasteurizing plant at Three
Bridges was overhauled and new
machinery installed over year ago.
"If it is true, as David says, that
the condition of the local plant Is
filthy and rotten, why is it that the
INSPECTOR of the State Board OF
Health has not reported it to anyone
in authority and why has no COM
plaint been made of its condition.
Judging from the statement
made by Detective David, 1T would
seem that he is not altogether in
terested in the investigation from
the point of safeguarding the milk
coming into the city. He is appar-
emily taking sides on an issue which
has been raised by a milk dealer
who has been prevented from bring
ing his milk into the city of Perth
Amboy.
my O. nts are most anxious to
assist the prosecutors office or the
local Board of Health or the State
Board of Health in safeguarding the
milk which is brought into the city.
1T is not generally within the
province of detective to make
statements in newspapers, particu-
larly such statements which are not
based upon facts.
1.-The characterization of David
as to the condition of the plant OF
the Perth Amboy Milk Company on
New Brunswick avenue, which il
merely retail sales point, is un-
fair and of doubtful motive.
Statements such as David has
made are slanderous and even de-
tective is liable for damages il they
are not true"
In reply to Mr.. Golenbock's state
a lnent Detective David this morning
said he has information at hand
showing that the pasteuriZing ma
chine in the Perth Amboy Milk &
Cream Company's plant has been
used without being cleaned since the
plant at Three Bridges was estab-
lished. As to why the state inspec-
tors have failed to report the con
dition, the detective said. he cannot
answer but he reiterates that hs
personally found the plant in au
''unclean and filthy" condition. II
the cellar. Detective David says
were found materials used in bot
tling milk which were dusty and
not clean. He further asserts that
the prosecutors office has informa-
tion at hand from men in authority
stating that the conditions existing
at this milk plant would not be toll
Grated in larger cities in the state.
An emphatic denial is made by
Detective David that he is taking
any sides on this issue. His findings
he maintains, were merely incidental
to a search conducted by him foI
materials which. he said. might bt
used in making bombs. Information
secured by him. the county detective
said, led him to suspect that bombs
parts of bombs or materials thai
:. might be used in making bombs
hmight be discovered at the plant Il
: search was made and it was witt
As point in view that he conducted
rne inspection, he said.
