Clues To Bomb Conspirator Worked Up By Authorities
New York federal and city investigators pursued three new clues in the nationwide bomb plot. Internal revenue agents raided the Baldwin medical institute on West 45th street and found two packages with twelve bottles of high explosives labeled T. N T. nitro glycerine and nitrate of ammonia. The embossed paper wrapping was identified as manufactured by Louis De Jonge & Co. A fingerprint on the bomb sent to Mayor Hylan was found, possibly matching Police Inspector Dixon. Baldwin, arrested on a Harbinson drug act violation, was questioned as to the explosives and the chemist who allegedly left the packages between Boston and Philadelphia. Clarence Hall and A C Truance of the Washington bureau of mines aided the inquiry.
