alleged to be the man who exploded
a bomb on the veranda o: the home
of Sam Margaraci and Charles Russo,
at 25 Division street. last WSunday
night ,was bound over to the Superior
court, by Judge John F. 'McGrath, in
the City court, this morning. Bonds
in the case were fixed at $5.000. Tony
Garger, also arrested in connection
with the explosion_ was discharged
and Giuseppe Lamantiuo, 19-year-old
son of Vincenzo, who was thought at
first to know about the crime, had his
case polled.
Evidence introduced by the State
showed that the man ordered held
had threatened to blow up the house.
The only evidence against Garger was
that lie was familiar with explosives.
having worked in mines at various
times. Judge McGrath announced
that. this was not sufficient evidence
to hold a man on. "
The bomb used was a home-made
one. a. tomato can being halflllled
with powder and charged with bolts

NEW YORK. June 17.——An admis-
sion by Mrs. Marie Larsen, house

that she had' taken a negligee, slip-
