FRESNO JUDGE
FINDS BOMB ON
PORCH OF Home
BY United Press Leased Wire

FRESNO, Calf, May II. - A
home made internal machine with
the fuse eXtinguished less than a
foot from the explosive, was found
by Superior Judge Campbell f.
Beaumont on his front porch early
today.
The machine was designed to
spread flame in the wake of its
explosion.
Charles A. Koehn, giving the ad-
dress Of Saltvale on the fringe of
the desert, and known as a "desert
rat, " was held for investigation by
police on Il suspicion of having
planted the death dealing contrap-
tion. The bomb was of two parts,
one containing the explosive and
the other a quantity of gasoline.
Judge Beaumont removed the
bomb to his garage and notified
the police. Koehn was almost i'm
mediately linked with the bombing
attempt because he had been arrest
ed at 1890 a. m. by .patrolmen who
saw him running from an alley neal
the Beaumont home.
Following his arrest as suspic
ious character, his automobile, park
ed nearby was searched and sec
tion of fuse matching that attached
to the internal machine, was found.
Later a further search of the ear
revealed portions of a Los Angeles
newspaper, other parts of which had
been wrapped about the bomb.
When koehn was taken before
him, Judge Beaumont recognized
him as the defendant in 4 100000
damage suit in which the .iurist sat
in Kern county few weeks ago.
The ease however, has not yet been
decided. The case involved Il gyp-
sum deposit in the desert near
Koehn's home.
