The police learned that shortly before the Weehawken local was due at Gran ton an automobile. said to hmave carried three men, was seen standing by the side of the railroad right of way
 wrecking crew sent to the scene helped the damaged train into Weehaw- ken, where the more seriously injured were given first aid.
 The West Shore is a subsidiary of the New York Central railroad.
 Signals had been set for the local at Grsnton Junction. The train was cross ing the bridge at 1010, according to Weehawken. The three bombs are said to have struck three cars of the train. The train was stopped on the bridge and the crew alighted. but they later said that no one was seen
 Police who reached the scene few minutes later at once began searching the countryside for suspects.
 Marks where the bombs had struck the cars could easily be seen on the sides of the three coaches. As the cars were steel, the greatest damage was caused in the shattering of car windows which were broken the entire length of thetrain.
 The scene of the bombing is In an iso- lated corner of Hudson county The high road which parallels the railroad tracks is litt,e used. Granton Junction is a typical small town station. and there were few persons astir when the alleged attack took place. The first re- port of the accident is said to have been received from watckm9 in the Gran ton freight yarGs of line. The tracks over the culert bridge are in deep cut. It is the belief of the
  railroad embanl1ment and hurled then missils as the train rumbled slowly into the junction. If the surmise of the police in regard to the position of thos, directly responsible for the attack is correct, they were less than fifty fee from the train when the bombs were hurled
 The engineer reported that he saw nc one on the embankment as the trair entered the cut. The three bombs were hurled so close together that the frs l reports stated that but a single expo sion had occurred. As the train cam to grinding stop, the coaches endowed with the screams of women and the l crying of heightened children. All c the windows that were broken are sair i to have been shattered almost simultane l ously. witha deafening crash. | Several of those who were more SC l riously cut received their injuries il i climbing head,ong from the stalled car l The passengers of the three coache which were bombed were still in tn | clutch of panic when the first person from Canton Junction reached tn scene
 The train was bound from Dumont t Weehawken. The passengers were al most entirely returning vacationists wh 1 hay been picked up from numerous sma, 1 towns in northern New Jersey.
 When the first report of the bombin reached the officials of the West Shor railroad, detectives were sent fror
 Weehawken 10 aid the local police i
 running down clues. An examinatio
 was made at once of the bridge and
 was reported that the bombing had
 no way damaged the structure.
 It was said at the North Hudson hos
 pital that the injured there probabl
 would be able to be removed to thei homes tomorrow.

Spectre Of Homicide Now Rises
In Death Of Brookside Resident

Whilo Martin can recount scraps OF

as to what they were talking OF just
before tho mishap occurred that sent
Britton to his death a., temporarily
made Martins mind blank.
Asked If he thought an automobile
had struck him Martin professed reluc.
lance to say. However he admitted
that he had heard Of glass having been
found at stop ~ which evidently had
come from the lights or windshield or
a machine.
II can't quite see how we could have
been injured about the head and race

Frankly, am mystied. Something

what struck the two men: was II

BY thus removing the two theoSes
there remains to the authorities the
third which in effect sets UP tho BELIEF
that a spending automobile caused the

Martin.
In support of this theory 1t was point
A last night that an underslunE auto
mobile equipped with fender coming
from tho rear would strike the men ;

This theory, according to men talked
with last night. seems to be the most
plausible yet advanced. IT Is understood
that Coroner Hardesty has summoned

WOODS GORDON

Slipping through the Gordon Of otf1.
GERS guarding the woods near Weir

Roy Ledson. is believed to have fled
toward Midland, Pa. according to the
Weirton police who, last night. sent
Midland officers detailed description
Of him.
Pearson has been at large since

lice say, Of young L,edson's improper
remarks to Mrs. Pearson.

Reported Seen.
He was been reported seen in vari'
GUS sections of Pennsylvania. Ohio
and West Virginia On investigation
the reports were found to be untrue.
The Ledson and the Pearsons live
on adjoining farms IN Hancock conu-
~, and until several months ago they
were friendly. Since that time Pear
son Is said to have frequently vowed
10 avenge what he considered an In
suit to his wife by the younger Led
son and when they met Friday morn
ing about two miles outside OF Weir
ton, Pearsn is said to have pulled
revolver and opened fire.
The first bullet struck ledson In
the head and he died almost instant
". another bullet hit William Ledson
IN the abdomen infliCting a severe
flesh wound.
Pearson fled toward the Weirton
mills. where he vas employed IN the

clothes escaped into the hills.
That he will be picked up shortly
