New York, May 15. A new theory
Is now being worked on by the police
detectives here, In tho search for the
man who last week attempted to dy
namite tho Umbria It Is now believed
tho man who went under tho name of
0. Itosseau here. Is none other than
John Rossow, who constructed tho
lead pipe bomba, used wIUi such dis
astrous effect in the Chlcnca Hnv-
market riots In 1S8G. He Is also sus
pected of manufacturing tho bomb
thrown Into tho chamber of doputloB
In Franco In 1884. Rossow escaped
from Chicago lmmodlatoly after the
Haymarket riots, and never has been
apprehended. Ho returned to Ameri
ca some years ago, and the police
traced him to Portland and Seattle,
from which point he started Kant a
few months ago with an unknown
man. Here all trnco Is lost, unless he
Is tho man who made tho Umbria at
tempt. Chicago descriptions, as well
as descriptions here, tally. This morn
ing's Investigations lead to the bellof
that, after coming from the far North
west, ho made the machine In China-
go. brought It to his boarding place
on Thirty-first street here, whero ho
charged It with dynamlto, and sent It
on Its doadJy errand. As Roskow was
