crisis in world affairs"
Farley told a dinner of the

Forthcoming elections because he
is looked upon throughout the
world as "the one national leader
big enough, and brave enough,
and strong enough to vinndicate
the processes of Democratic gov
eminent.
"In these days of chaos and
confusion throughout the world,
when civilization itself is imper-
lied by the mad ambitions of ruth
less dictators, let the message
flash from the November polls
that the American people are
united in a common cause.-The
cause of democracy and all the
people-and that they are deter
mined to go forward under the
most statesmanlike leadership IN
the world today, the leadership OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt" Farley
said.
He said that during the recent

plosion of last year, and yesterdays explosion and the subsequent dis covery of the dynamite bomb.
 Can ExplOdes
 At 5 o'clock last night, Nelson Strassner, of 27 Welton street. an employe of the Moran firm, lighted fire among papers in the incinera- tor. He then began to do some work around, the yard. Fifteen minutes later the can exploded.
 The blast was loud enough to be heard by Patrolman Patrick o. Rourke, who was on duty at Orange street, and Capt. Joseph Kelley of the East Main street firehouse. Both rushed to the scene, and Chief Thomas Cavanaugh and the fire marshal and his staff arrived a few minutes later.
 The incinerator and the contents not blown away in the explosion were placed under lock and key un- til this morning. The explosion of last night was apparently caused by one or two detonating caps which were separate from the dynamite. The bomb itself is believed to have been cushioned in the debris that it was not affected by the fire and the explosion of the caps.
 Dynamite Trade Name
 The type and trade name of the dynamite were secured by Inspec- ter Starkel, and check-up begun to sec if it's sale could be traced. A permit is needed to purchase dyna- mite, and the seller must record each transaction.
 Police seemed to incline to the theory that the dynamite was planted" in an attempt to injure Thomas Moran, Jr., head of the contracting firm, or damage his property. Moran was questioned at length in an effort to secure a mo- tive if this theory be true.
 The accident theory was not seri- ously considered by the investigators, all the evidence indicating that the dynamite bomb had been placed there purposely and with criminal intent.
 IncineratOr Freely Used
 The incinerator is used by people in the neighborhood for disposing of waste papers and refuse. It is a converted 50-gallon oil drum, sim. liar to the one that exploded a year ago.
 The explosion of the caps yester- day ripped the can to pieces and sent pieces of metal and refuse fly ing for many feet. Houses in the neighborhood were shaken.
 Had the dynamite bomb gone off, it might have caused loss of life and would unquestionably have caused great property damage.

story dwelling, is owned by Mrs. Theresa Moran.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his staff began an investigation at 9 o'clock this morning and found the bomb while going through the con- tents of the mcinerator. Assisting the marshal were Capt William Russell and Privates Eugene Legge and Jerry Griffin.
 State Trooper Here
 Lieutenant William Pol lard and Lieutenant Patrick Moylan took up the local police investiga- ton, and Trooper Victor Clark came to the scene from the Beacon Falls barracks of the state police. Later III the morning Inspector Frank Starkell, head of the explosives divi- sion of the state police, arrived and joined the problem.
 Frank D'Aurio, local dynamite ex- pert, was called and after examin- ing the bomb, said it would have caused damage through the whole section had it exploded.
 Joseph F. Neill and Raymond Sjostedt consulting chemists, were also called by the fire marshal.
 Fire Marshal Lahey said there was no question but that the bomb had been placed in the incinerator with criminal intent.
 IncineratOr Blew Up
 On May 19, 1887, a year ago to- an incinerator in the same spot blew up with loud blast. Mrs. John Lynch, 49, of 31 Welton street, suffered severe burns and cuts when the can exploded as she stood near by after lighting fire in it. Her son, Alfred, 8, who was standing nearby, escaped with minor cuts.
 Chemists were called in on that occasion and agreed with fire de- partment officials that the blast had been caused by fire coming in con- tact with gases caused by the ac- cumulation of refusc in the incin- orator.
 Despite the coincidence of the date, Fire Marshal Lahey says there is no connection between the ex-

is in the rope goes up.
 Taylor Brought In
 Taylor, former Harlan county sheriff, was arrested at Dominion, Va, and brought back here for trial. He had never been arrested on the conspiracy charge and had never been admitted to bail. But today, after missing the first session of the trial, Taylor was behind the rope with White.
 The government charges that Harlan county deputy sheriffs were employed by the coal companies to prevent United Mine Workers or ganizers from working in Harlan county. White and Taylor were deputy sheriffs.
 According to his testimony before the senate civil liberties committee, Taylor objected when he was or dered to attack Marshall Musick, union organizer. He said that White and other deputies became angry at him because of the refusal. Taylor swore that he even went to the sheriff and protested after the Mu- six home was riddled with bullets and Bennett Musick, son of Mar shall Musick, was killed. When he did that, he said, White warned him to keep your mouth shut or you'll go down, too"
 TaylOr Shooting Occurs
 A few days later, Taylor testified, he was in his automobile on the road near High Splint.
 White came up in another car" Taylor told the senate committee, "and blew his horn for me to stop. He asked me where I was going and popped pistol at my head"
 Taylor said he knocked the gun aside, but that when White shot three times. Two bullets cut across his wrists and the third pierced his thigh.
 That last one brought me down." Taylor said.
 He said he was afraid that White would fire again, so he Smeared blood from his wounded wrists across his shirt in an attempt to make it appear that he had been wounded in the chest. He said he played dead.
 Thought Him Dead
 White came up to me-" Taylor said, rolled me over and said he's as dead as he'll ever be"
 Taylor managed to get to Harlan hospital and today he sat in the same section of the courtroom with White, still carrying scars that the bullets made on his wrists.
 Twelve men were in the jury box. The government can make six per- emptory challenges and the defense 10, so it may be that none of the men now in the box will be on the jury when the taking of testimony starts.
