BOMB IS HURLED
AT ST. PETER’S SHRINE
Psonle Fled In Panic But No
One Was Killed.
CROWDED WITH WORSHIPERS
Without Warning Bomb Crashed Be¬
fore Holy Altar and Exploded with
Frightful Force—None Killed or In¬
jured.
Rome, Nov. 19,—A bomb wai ex¬
ploded lu St. Peter’s Sunday. The
edl&ce was' crowded, and an inde¬
scribable scene ot confusion follow¬
ed. There were no fatalities.
As soon aa the echoes of the tre¬
mendous report subsided, a canon
said reassuring word* to the congre¬
gation, in vain. They fled In all di¬
rections, and a number of women
fainted. Women and children scream¬
ed and men tried to protect their fam¬
ities in the crush. The church Is so
large, however, that there was ample
room for the crowd to scatter, and
no one was injured. No trace of
the perpetrator of the deed has been
found.
Since Saint Anaele^us, who was or¬
dained by Peter himself, erected an
oratory In 90 A. D., on the site of
the-present basilica to mark the spot
where the remains of St. Peter are
burled, no such dastardly occurrence
is noted in the annals of the church.
Sunday was the anniversary of the
dedication of the basilica, to St. Pe¬
ter, and It was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. Holy relics were
exposed, and a large number of the
faithful attended the services. Car¬
dinal Ram poll a, formerly papal secre¬
tary of state, was among those pres¬
ent. He took part In the Bervlce
In the choir chapel. The last mass
had Juat been concluded, "when the
explosion occurred, and only one oan-
on, who had not quite finished, re¬
maimed at the altar of Saint Petronll-
la. This altar Is at the end of the
right aisle and It was near here that
the bomb had been placed. As the
canon turned to blew the communi¬
cants there was a tremendous roar,
which echoed throughout the lofty
arches of the immense dome-like a
thunder clap.
At the same time a dense smoke
spread throughout this portion of the
basilica, and a strong odor of gun¬
powder filled the air. Confusion and
panic at once seized the people. The
canon at the altar tried to stem the
tide of fear. He shouted out:
"Do not be afraid; it is nothing,
merely the noonday gun.”
His words, however, had little
effect. They were refuted by the
smoke and the pungent smell of pow¬
der, and the people continued their
headlong flight. Chairs were over¬
thrown, making the confusion more
serious. Men and women fled, stum¬
bling in all directions, the screams
of children and cries of anguish were
heard on all sides, and for a rew mo¬
ments It seemd as if nothing could
obviate a grave disaster. The vast
size of the church, however, gave
room for the crowd to scatter and at
the end of a few moments the peo¬
ple were surging toward the doors,
excited and nervous, but orderly.
As soon as the smoke cleared away
a hasty examination showed that no¬
body had been hurt In the crush, and
further more that no one had been
wounded by the explosion. Calm was
gradually restored and people return¬
ed to view the extent of the damage.
It was discovered that the bomb
had ben placed under a scaffolding
which had been erected to facilitate
repairs to the roof exactly over the
celebrated tomb of Clement XII, by
Canova, which consists of a figure of
the popj apd two lions, and which Is
the most remarkable piece of sculp¬
ture In the baseiHea. This bomb
ranks among the finest efforts of mod¬
ern sculpture, and by Its execution,
When the first gendarmes reached
Canova established his reputation.
When the first gendarmes reached the
spot the scaffolding was fund to be
smouldering, but this fire was easily
extinguished. The tomb was found
to be absolutely uninjured, and even
the_ pavement shows scarcely any
signs of the explosion'
An examination of the remains of
the bomb.led,to the supposition, un¬
less It was crudely prepared on pur¬
pose to mislead, that It was manu¬
factured In the country and brought
into Rome. It is believed that the
bomb had a very long fuse in or¬
der to enable the criminal to gain
the plaza before the explosion. It
has been impossible to trace' him,
and no one has any recollection of
seeing a man who. by Bis movements,
might have aroused suspicion.
HE MAY BE DOUBLY GUILTY.
Assailant of Mrs. Cayip Charged with
Similar Crime.
Atlanta;' Nov. 19.—Will Johnson,
the negro, who was arrested last
Friday by County Policeman Bun-
tyn, and lodged In the Tower on sus¬
picion of having assaulted Mrs. J. N.
Camp, on Nov. 13, was positively
Identified by Mrs. George Hembree
Sunday as the man who attempted to
sasault her about a month ago In
Oakland City.
Mrs. Hembree went to the Tower
at the request of Chief Turner, of
the county police, for the purpose of
looking At.Jphnsqg. Whe n the ne -
gro was brought before her s~re iden¬
tified him as her assailant.
Johnson, at the time of hf» arrest,
had upon his person, two women's
skirt* and other article* of women's
clothing, ant burglarized and as the Mrs. bouse Cajop's ;at the assail¬ time
of the assault, these articles will play
an important part in hisf identifica¬
tion.
Mrs. Camp could not gn to the
Tower Sunday to see the negro, and
It is not known when she will be phy¬
sically able to undergo the ordeal.
Johnson Is the negro whose descrip¬
tion exactly corresponded to that giv¬
en by Mrs. Camp of her assailant,
and whose arrest during the trial of
Joe Glenn, charged with that crime,
saved that negro's life when circum¬
stantial evidence had Bounded his
doom.
