New Attempt Made To Kill Roosevelt
A Washington Post report reveals a second apparent assassination attempt on President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A bomb addressed to Roosevelt was found in a mail sack at the city postoffice, a shotgun shell wrapped with wires and paper. Postal Inspector William Satterfield leads the inquiry, centering on Watertown, New York, to identify the sender. Moras of the Secret Service said he had not been notified. The crude device could have exploded if jarred, but officers deem it likely a prank and say the investigation will pursue the sender's identity.
