What Is believed by the police to have been an attempt to assassinate James L.

Galla gher was up stairs with his wife at the time, and Mr. Schenck waa in a rear room with bis wife and four children and Dr. Guy Brown. All escaped but one boy, who was hit In the neck by a flying mlssllo. That none was killed was little short of a miracle. Gallagher's bat was pierced by a splinter, and taken away as a souvenir. The house was completely wrecked. The report was heard all over Oakland and many windows ln the neighborhood were broken. A post belonging to the porch was hurled 100 feet away. valuable clews to the perpetrators of the crime were gained today through the finding of a silk hand kerchief in which it Is supposed the infernal machine was wrapped. ln a search of the debris thie morn ing detectives located some wire and fuse and caps, which would Indicate, according to Chief Wilson, that a bomb of some sort had been used. Hany Had Warned Him. San Francisco, April 34. "The prosecution will certainly make a most thorough Investigation of the dastardly attempt to kill one of the most Important witnesses for the state In the bribery graft cases," said Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney this morning to th Associated Press representative. Mr. Heney refused to state whether or not he had any evidence pointing to the perpetrators. "I am sutlsfied that It was not the work of a fanatic or crank," de clared the Assistant District Attor ney. "Neither did the attempt upon Gallagher's life surprise me. I warned him more than three months ago that If he was not careful 'they would get him,' and at the time urged him to move from Oakland, telling him his home might be blown up. Aside from this I have nothing to say at present." Tornado In Neb'asks. TarlB, Neb.. April 2 4.
