And Grace Walker? Grace Walker was
his daughter, he said. He had killed her to
save her from the shameful life she led
His story provided logical motives for the
three seemingly unrelated outrages and
marked the case "solved"-with reservations.
For one thing. he did not fit the drug
gist's description Of his black anthony pur-
chaser
Then, with Farrell locked safely in the
Tombs charged with homicide, and detectives
checking his story, there occurred one Of
those strange condolences that can happen
only in real life.
Detective Busby CHANGING through his
morning paper, noticed an account relating
how Henry J. Klotz a draughtsman employed
for II years in the Bronx Typographical Bur-
eau had been seriously injured by the ex-
plosion Of toy cannon.
Busby would not have given the article a
second thought were it not for the accom-
panying photographic photograph OF a
blond, pop-eyed man of decidedly Germanic
appearance. That, with the word explosion"
and the fact that Mr.. Klotz lived barely a
block away from the Herrera's, sent him hur-
rying to Klotz's home.
The house proved a veritable arsenal, the
study walls hung with thirty fully-loadei
guns and revolvers, all carefully ticketed A
small laboratory yielded bottles Of black anti
mony and chloride Of potash, brass springs
and iron pipe elbows in abundance.
Klotz, it was obvious had been construct
ing bomb. not playing with TOY cannon"
Questioned in the hospital. the fatally-in-
jured draughtsman denied any knowledge Of
the three explosions, however.
Friends rallied to his defense. While they
admitted he was interested in experiments
with explosives. they insisted he was a good
church-goer, diffident and extremely shy with
girls-a man who wouldn't hurt fly"
But darby different picture of the s.
year=old bachelor soon began to emerge. re-
vealing Jekyll-Hyde personality wholly un-
suspected by his friends.
The druggist identified him as the black
anthony purchaser. Experts established that
the tickets on the guns and Grace Walkers
name had both been typed on billing ma
chine to which he had access. A former fire.
quenter Of Mrs. Walkers salon identified
him as Crazy Henry" a steady visitor who
had accused the proprietress of trying to
break up his romance with one Of her girls"
1t was further established that he had been
bitter over Judge Rosalsky's sentence Of a
friend Of his and had been acquainted with
Mrs. Herrera.
Confronted with this and other damning
evidence the police announced. Klotz signed
a complete confession just before he died-a
victim of his own vengeance.
Farrell was promptly released.
No one knows for whom Klotz intended
that last gift. The police neglected to ask
him.

called having sold black anthony" to a
customer two days before the explosion.
He described the purchaser as "a young
man Of blond German type with pale blue
pop-eyes and speaking precise English"
Detectives rounded up individuals an
swering the druggists description. But one
by one all were cleared of any suspicion.
And the detectives were left with one more
unanswered queston-Who would want to xii
a demi-mondaine and city judge, and why?
That question remained unanswered until
February 2, 1913. a year but for day after
the first bomb had snuffed out the life of
Grace Walker
Late on the afternoon of that day Ber-
nardo Herrera, superintendent of an apart
ment house at 1875 Fulton Avenue the Bronx,
found package addressed to his vie in the
entry and carried it in to where she sat over
a cup Of tea with a neighbor.
"a present for YOU" he said jocularly.
Probably from some unknown admirer."
AS she started to undo it, the package ex-
ploded with a roar, killing her instantly ana
seriously wounding both her husband and the
nei~'.bor.
A policeman attracted by the blast, ar
rived in time TO see a man running furtively
from the scene and took him into custody.
The man identified himself as John Paul
Farrell, whom Mr.. Herrera had befriended
and installed as assistant janitor." Why
was he leaving in such hurry? He was,
he said, running to catch street car.
But at the station house, after a pro-
longed grilling, he confessed that 1t was he
who had sent the three bombs.
And why?
Because Mrs. Herrera had nagged her hus-
band TO get rid of him. Because Judge Ro-
salsly had sentenced dear friend to the
penitentiary for an exorbitant term.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-04

bustibles indicated that the bombs charge"
consisted Of a mixture of Chloride of pot
ash and black anthony"
A canvass of drugstores was made in an
effort to trace purchasers of these chemicals,
but without avail.
The red Irvine with which the package had
been wrapped turned out to be the same that
is used TO bind brooms. There its trail ended.
The fragments of paper that still bore
part Of the victims name offered greater
possibilities, however. when a typewriter ex-
pert advised Detective Busby it had been
written on a certain make billing machine.
Busby was further encouraged when COM
pany records showed total of $40 of these
to have been sold in the Metropolitan area,
20 to City Departments. A painstaking
check on the other $50 proved that none of
them had been used in tipping the name.
Then on March 18th, six weeks after the
explosion in Grace Walkers apartment, came
new and Unforeseen development which
sent Busby and other detectives post haste
to the apartment of General Sessions judge
Otto A Rosalsky, on West 110th Street, near
fashionable Riverside Drive.
IT'S in there" the jurst told them, indi-
eating his library, ION the table 1t arrived
in the 4 o'clock mail. The maid assumed it
was box Of candy and brought il in to me-"
But was suspicious of the thing" Judge
Rosalsky known as tough judge due to
his habit of imposing stiff sentences on GRIM
inals, shrugged. II receive so many threats
AT any rate, 1 slit the corner of the

struck metal decided this was a case for

While Judge Rosalsky retired to the
apartment of a friend across the hall, In
spector Eagan of the Department of Com
bustibles gingerly went about opening the

year before. Following his death Mrs. Walker
had for time become respondent and threat
ened suicide. Her physician verified this.
Had the bomb been sent by the dead
woman herself?
This possibility as well as all suspicion
against the secretary. was dropped when po-
lice located the messenger.
But he proved to be Of little help. He
had been handed the box on the 5treet by
stranger who paid him SOC in advance for de-
livering II, he said. But he could only give
a vague description Of the man.
Thus, with everyone so far in any way in

George Busby of the Homicide Squad went to
work on the material clues.
What struck him at the outset was the
fact that there seemed no rhyme nor rea-

II was equally obvious from

LUNAR ECLIPSE
OCCURS TONIGHT

Nature has kindly arranged q
fOIlow-up for Waterbury's first
test blackOut last night, = total
eclipse Of the moon being Sched-
uled for tonight, but seen only as
q partial eclipse In New England.
Astronomers say that the moon
won't be entirely blacked out, TO
earthly eyes, because Of the fact
that the earth will come between
it and the sun tonight but will
appear much darker than usual,
probably assuming red hue.
In Waterbury observers will find
the moon much darker than
usual when 1t rises. The period Of
total eclipse will begin at 7:34
p. m, will reach its crest at 1921,
and will end at 9:11. tn eearth's
shadow on the moon will be visible
until as late as 11:15.

In many parts Of the country the
