tempted to escape, she discovered
the hallway was a mass of debris
and the stairway torn apart.
Judge and Mrs. Thayer were
sleeping in separate rooms at the
front Of the house. The explosion
piled wreckage in front of both
rooms, and they we're unable to
escape until firemen raised lad
ders.
When firemen hacked their way
into the room of Mrs. Thayer,
they found her lying in bed
covered with plaster, with four
doors piled around her.
Meanwhile, all along Institute
Road, Beachmont Street, and
other nearby highways, residents
were tumbling from their beds as
plaster fell, windows cracked, and
dishes ratified or fell to the floors.
Seen as Radical Revenge
The bombing was said by police
to be probably the work of radi-
Gals, seeking revenge for Thayer'S
participation as judge in the cele-
brated Sacco-VanZetti trial. A
triple probe was ordered by police,
fire officials and State police.
Following the explosion, police
had only one clue to work on. A
resident of Beachmont Street,
thrown from his bed, told police
he ran to the front of his home
and saw a large motor truck
parked at the corner OF Beach
mont Street and Institute Road.
Occupants of the truck had
started the motor and were look
ing toward the Thayer house.
Then the truck vanished over the
hill.
Investigators were of the opin.
ion that occupants of the truck
placed the bomb at the rear win
dow and waited to make sure that
it exploded.
The fact that Judge Thayer and
his wife had their sleeping quar-
tiers in the front of the house
saved them from serious injury.
Judge Thayer refused to place
the blame for the bombing. He
said:
II hate to think that because
o man does his duty before
mankind and God he has to pay
this kind of penalty.
