Chicago, May 17-LR-The home
of Fred w. Eiche, one of the Jurors
who convicted Eugene (Red) Nc.
Laughlin of highway robbery two
days ago, was bombed last night.
Eiche himself was not at home
His wife, their three children, a
sister and six guests at an informal
party being held in the two-story
frame structure, were severely
shaken.
The bomb, which was No. So since
January /, was tossed on the Eiche
front porch just below a bedroom
window. No one was in the room,
q wall Of which was torn away by
the explosion.
Shortly after the bombing, Eiche
was at the detective bureau identify
ing Gus Steinwick, secretary-treas-
urer Of the chaffeurs and teamsters
local No. 72, as one of two men who
last Monday attempted to bribe him.
Steinwick and another man, &C.
cording to Eiche, came to him with
q request that he "give Red q good
break" Steinwick's companion was
introduced to Eiche as Robert Nc
Laughlin, brother Of Red and presi-
dent Of the Checker Cab company.
When confronted by Robert Nc
Laughlin in court yesterday, how
ever, Eiche said he could not be sure
he was the man.
Eiche was positive in his identifi-
cation Of Steinwick. Although the
bombing Of the Eiche home occurred
shortly before Steinwick was
brought in, the news was kept from
Eiche for fear it might influence
him against identifying the prisoner.

take no chance Of the party being
marooned.
