The boys over at the Sixth
precinct station are willing and
ready to go up against one. two
or, for that matter, three or four
holdup men and shoot it out with
them. but when cit Genes to
handling a bomb that might be
loaded that's a horse Of another
color.
That at least was the attitude
displayed yesterday when Charles
Early, of Dongin, N. Y, walked
into the station house and an
nounced that he had dug up an
airplane bomb on a lot opposite
the Senate Office Building.
Police responded and, gingerly
removing the bomb from the
dirt and mud. carefully escorted
it to the station house where it
was put as far from where it
could do any damage as possible.
Explosive experts will be called
in sometime today to determine
whether or not the bomb is
loaded. It is believed that it
was a world war souvenir.
