The package bearing the typewrit
ten address “Senator Thomas W.
Hardwick, Sandersvile, Ga.,” wrapped
bearing a return addregB of “Glmbel
Bros., Thirty-second and Broadway,
New York.” It was the word “sam-
pln’’ that caused Mrs. Hardwick to
think It was some merchandise and
lo have opened it in her husband's
absence.
After leaving tho United States sen
ate Mr. Hardwick came to Atlanta and
engaged in law practice. On leaving
his home at Sandcrsvillo he did not
know what bis olllce address would
be so gave the postmaster tho number
of the apartment he had taken here.
For that reason the package was not
sent to bis olllce, but to his home.
Untying Explodes.
Police described the Infernal ma
chine ns being composed of a piece
of wood about six inches long, three
inches wide and probably an Inch
thick. A hole had been made in the
wood, and the acid container, which
they believe was glass, was placed In
this. It was so arranged, they said
that untying the wrapper loosened
soli spring, which allowed the larger
quantity of acid to come In contact
with some other acid and the explos
ion followed. The piece of wood and
pieces of the wrapper were found.
The wood was burned black In places
The small metal slugs appeared
have been wrapped around wood.
Attention was called to the fact that
an Infernal machine received yester
day through the mail* at the offlee of
Mayor Ole Hanson In Seattle, Wash.,
also came from New York and bore
the return address of "Norelty De
partment, Glmbel Brothers, New York
City.'
The police were Inclined to connect
the two attempts to destroy life and
said that the wrappers of a New
York Arm were used to avert any pos
sible suspicion before opening tbe
packages. The bomb sent to Seattle
did not explode.
