found to be the factor which prevented
the explosion.
Made of metal, about 10 inches in
length and 3 inches in diameter, the
device was grounded on one end, with
the other attached to an ignition wire.
It was found on the top of the engine
when Shafer lifted the hood in an at
tempt to learn why the car would not
start.
Fragments Of a bomb which several
years ago destroyed the home of John
Beard Of Williamsport, a few miles from
the Shafer home, were compared with
tire device found in the automobile, and,
it was said today, showed evidence of
having been similarly constructed. The
bomb was not the work Of an amateur,
1t was said.
Shafer said he parked his car in the
garage Sunday night, and went to bed
The barking of his dog aroused him
early yesterday, he said, but all was
quiet when he arose to see the cause of
the disturbance.
Later in the morning, when several
men came to shoe some Of his horses,
Shafer said, he found 1t necessary to
move his car, and 1t was then found that
the car would not move.
Opinion about this section today was
that both bombs were the product OF
the same workman. The maker and
placer OF the former bomb was never
found.
