REVIVAL OF OLD HOLT
Bombs Used Last Night Same
As Planted To Destroy

With the ablest secret service aud
explosive experts in the government
working on the plot to kill Attorney
General A. Mitchell Puliner her last
niht, clues weio being puisued to many
points iu the east today.
Evidence thus fur uncovered led offi
cials here to believe that the terrorist

eastern cities, operated either out of
Philadelphia or Puterson, N. J.
Planter "Old Hand."
The anarchist killed hereby his own
death weapon while preparing to blow!
up Palmer s home was an "old band
at the game, according to the experts.
The bomb he used was of a type iden
tical with that employed by Frank Holt
on July i, 1915, when he attempted to
blow up the capitol hetc. Explosive
experts who worked on the Holt case be
lieve that the attempt on the attorney

Stumble Caused Death.
That the terrorist had prepared for
an emergency was shown- by the fact
that the hat he wore to the scene was
a black derby, while he had another
lint, a soft one. purchased recently in
Philadelphia, la his suitcase, apparent
ly to wear away from the scene.
That he came to his death by stum
bling over a ledge near the frout of the'
Palmer house, exploding the bomb be
fore he had placed it, was the decision
of investigators here.
Dr. Monroe, explosive expert. S!.id
there were two explosions, eiiher two
