Attempt Made to Blow Up
Spokesman Review and
Chronicle

SPOKANE, Wash, July (R)--An at
tempt to blow up the business offices
of the Spokesman-Revfew and the
Chronicle with powerful dynamite
bomb failed here today when the
fuse of the internal machine burned
to within 2l5 inches of the PERCUSSION
cap and then went out
The bomb, which was placed i'll front
of the Review business office, in a
building which houses both papers, was
found by two employees of the Review
about six o'clock this morning. Police
said it had been planted" about three
o'clock when the building was nearly
deserted. The staff of the Review, a
morning paper had left the building
and the Chronicle force had not ar
rived.
The bomb was homemade, afif-
teen pound coffee can being filled
with 60 percent dynamite, with a fuse
and blasting cap attached. One humid
red sticks of dynamite were used. Po-
lice declared that its blast would have
shattered the front of the building. One
OF the Chronicles presses was in a
basement below the bomb.
No motive for the attempt was ad-
vance dby the newspapers, although
both of them have campaigntd eX-
tensively against vice and liquor rings
in this city A theory at first attributed
! to the police, that the bomb was plac-
ed as hoax, was denied by officers
late today, after a stick of the dyna-
mite had been exploded as a test.
Bertillion experts who examined the
can and the charge we're unable to
find a clue, as the package had been
handled several times. Gerald Pool and
Lloyd Elmer, employees of the Review,
found the can and summoned G. A.
Johnson, building engineer. The trio
opened the package and called police
when they found explosives.
