Anarchists and dynamite found in Hampstead room
Police seized twenty four pounds of dynamite in cakes from a room in Hampstead linked to a man named Schneider who had just arrived from the United States. The explosive, immersed in a cistern to fizz, was sent to the government laboratory where experts confirmed its destructive potential. Police expect multiple arrests as a genuine dynamite plot unfolds, with Irish nationalists denying any connection to Schneider and suggesting he was a German-born operator supplying explosives to European anarchists.
