In f ernal Machine Wrapped in Small Pa- per VaGse Found on Window Ledge by Man About to Enter Building.
Powdered Dynamite and Mechanical Apparatus for Exploding It Re- moved by Fire Depart ment Specialists. :.

New York. Oct. 2s tp-A bomb, which experts declared contained enough dynamite to blow up a bis section Of Lower New York. was found today on a window ledge of the first floor of the New York county courthouse.
 The bomb was wrapped In . small paper valise and was found by a man who was about to enter the courthouse
 The valise was taken inside of the building and two clerks tried to open it. AS they did so they heard a clicking sound which aroused their suspicion. The bureau of combustibles of the fire depart ment was communicated with and three experts opened the valise. They gasped when they saw the contents - a mechanism similar to that In time bombs and a large quantity of dynamite.
 The experts described the queer package as an 'infernal machine" The case measured 14 inches long, eight inches wide and four inches deep. Inside was wooden box with dynamite in sawdust form. Alongside of the explosive was 2 small tin box. This the firemen de- clared, probably contained the mechanism that was intended to cause the dynamite to explode. They did not investigate the small can, fearing it might cause an ex- plosion.

 It finally developed after much phoning that Dorbuck and Parker were in the Hartford County jail pending trial in Hartford for 3S burGlaries. l. is understood that the prisoners had been released from the New Britain police station on the understanding that they were to be tried in the Berlin court but
 
 state policemen lodged the two youths in the county jail without notifying Berlin authorities. accord ing to Judge Griswold's statements.
 Having no cases to try outside of the burglary case, the officials of the Berlin court returned to their homes. Judge Griswold stated that last nights incident was the first of its nature in the history of the court and he feels that Berlin authorities should have been notified of the change of plans. No further action is expected from Berlin.
 It was learned at police head quarters today that two state police men called there yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock and took the prisoners to Hartford, explaining that they would be tried in Hartford Police court. Later two members of the Hartford police force arrived at headquarters for the prisoners and were surprised to learn that they had been taken away by state policemen.

WON'T APOLOGIZE ID MEMBERS OF COMMONS
Instead, Dr. Slater Repeats Charges of Seeing Them
 Drunk at Sessions !

London, Oct. 26 tR - Called te book in the house of commons to- day for his recent allegation that he had seen members drunk in the house. Dr. Alfred Slater. laborits M. F., not only declined to with. draw the charge. but repeated it.
 Dr. Slater declared he was not prepared to withdraw, modify, qualify or apologize for anything he had said in his speech. It was an affectation and hypocritical for the members to deny the charge. There were cries of "Names." from the members and Dr. Slater said he was prepared to give them.
 After lengthy statement hs was asked to leave the house while the members debated Sir Arthur Holbrook's motion of yesterday that the charges were a gross libel on the members Of the house as well as gross breach of privilege.
 It was a delicate situation and Prime Minister Baldwin jumped into the breach with the assertion that the sooner the members dis posed of the matter. the better 1t would be for their own dignity.
 He said what had hurt the feel- tngs of the house was that one of their members, who had shared their life, had thought 1t his duty to speak about these things out. side, and not to express to the house his regret for doing so.
 The motion was that presented by Sir Arthur Holbrook in a heat ed address at yesterdays session, at which Dr. Slater was absent.

TOLEDO TEACHER
 BRUTALLY SLAIN Victim Attacked Before Body
 Was Mutlated SEEK CLUBBER MURDERER
Case Is Similar In Many Ways To the Series of Killings and Club pings Which Terrorized City Year Ago.

Toledo. Ohio, Oct. 26 P-The mutilated body of Miss Lily Croy, 26, teacher at Gunokel school. was found under the steps of Washing ton school, early today.
 The clothing was torn from the body, which bore marks of criminal assault, Coroner Henzler stated.
 Relatives Find Body
 Miss Croy left her home early ip the evening to attend a class at Toledo university. When she failed to return home at the usual hour her mother, Mrs. Emma Croy, noti- fled the police. The body was found by J. w. Weist, a half brother of the slain teacher.
 Similarity between the murder Of the girl and the mysterious murder and clubbings which terrorized To- ledo a year ago is seen by police.
 During the reign of he mysteri- ous aSsailant of women at that time three women were murdered and q score of women struck down. It was generally believed that one man was responsible for all Of these crimes.
 As result of police activities following the clubber murders, more than 50 men were arrested and held for investigation. A score of these later were committed to the Toledo State Hospital as insane.
 Circumstances Similar
 Coroner Henzler recalled similar circumstances in the death of Miss Mary Handley, 42. whose brutally beaten body was found in a yard near her home in nearby street few months ago. The killing was also near the scenes of fatal attacks on two other women in recent months.
 Mrs. Lydia Baumgardner was found murdered August 21. Her head had been crushed. Mrs. En- ma Hatfield. IS. was clubbed May 24, 1925, and died from her injur- ics September g.
 The last murder attributed by police to the clubber was that of Miss Handley whose body was found January 1e, 1928.
 Alnost all of the attacks occur red 'on the west side, several of them not far from where last nights victim was found.
 Work of Degenerate
 The murder. police said, was the work of a degenerate, although the slaying of Miss Croy, In its brutal ity, bore a marked resemblance to the clubber attacks. police pointed out that in the clubber cases there was no criminal assault, as was the case with Miss Croy. Miss Croy had intended to enter missionary work but was forced to abandon this plan upon the death of her father few years ago.

Many business men and women do
not go home at noontime and they
