New York.--Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the court of general session came within a hair's breath of being killed here by a bomb received through the mail. It was only a defect--said to be a small accumulation of dirt--In the mechanism of the infernal machine, which the Justice had unsuspectingly opened, that saved him from probable death or certain injury.

The library of the j apartment was wrecked. | The Intended victim of the explosion j h*B been given a great deal of pub- | Hefty lately in connection with the Brandt case. It was Judge RosalBky who sentenced Brandt to a 30-year term for burglary at Mortimer L. SchifTs home in 1907, and who recent­ ly reversed his action. The attack upon the Jurist is the first case of such violence attempted against a Judge here within memory, and it set the whole machinery of the police department speedily at work upon the mystery. The bomb came by mail and was delivered by a postman to Judge Ro- salsky's apartments on Riverside drive. It was accepted by the maid and placed on the table in Judge Ro- salsky's library to await his coming. An hour later Judge Rosalsky reached home and unsuspectingly be­ gan to open the package while talking to his wife. He took off the wrapper and found a plain white pasteboard box. Judge Rosalsky's own story of what then happened follows: "I took the cover off the box with­ out the slightest care. My first glimpse at the contents was enough. I backed out of the room as quickly as my feet would carry me, calling to my wife and brother: 'Why, It's a bomb; it's a bomb.' '1 telephoned police headquarters a special request for experts on bombs. .Inspector Egan cape with David I. Kelly, superintendent of the bureau of combustibles. "Egan went to work, examining the bomb cautiously. He took out a little wad of tissue paper which I be­ lieve contained fulminating mercury. I was called out to the telephone and a moment later I heard the bomb go off. I rushed in and found poor Egan staggering about bleeding profusely. The index finger of his right hand had been blown off and the whole hand mangled. His face was full of bleeding wounds and his forearms and left hand were terribly lacerated. 'It is one of God's wonders that I was spared, but I feel at this moment that I would rather have opened that package myself than to have stood by hnd permitted Egan to touch it as he did."

Cleveland. Ohio, -- After thirty riotous parishioners of St Michael's Catholic church had been ejected from the edifice and eight of them ar­ rested by policemen Rev. Father J. M. Paulis, the object of their attack, began his sermon with these words: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." A large proportion of the parish, one of the most prominent in Cleve­ land, has been dissatisfied with Fa­ ther Paulis. A week ago the pastor was hooted and Jeered as he strove to read letters from Bishop Farrelly and the apostolic delegate at Washington in vindication of his assignment to the pastorate. When the police had ejected the malcontents, Father Paulis, standing In the sanctuary with an officer on either side, read the letters, though all was confusion. Then he told the congregation that he had come as a priest or a soldier obeying orders, as the bishop had assigned him to the church. He had sought to resign, but Bfshop Farrelly had told him that would disrupt the parish. Threats ef dynamiting caused the police to establish a guard about the pastor's residence. Those arrested at church were released later. WILL TRY 54 MEN TOGETHER Judge Anderson at Indianapolis Da* oldes Against Separate Trials Hi Dynamite Conspiracy Cass.

The posse trailed through the bush four niiles up the ridge and surrounded his cabin, which stood In a grove. Expecting the posse, Allen was barricaded and well sup­ plied with rifles and ammunition, which he had brought from a store in which he waB a partner. From behind stumps, rocks, trees and other natural obstacles on the mountain side the posse tired at the house. Allen fired at the posse as fast as the women of his family could re­ load his rifles.

Taylor was slain by a posse. It is believed Dowd also was killed by the poBse, but hia surviving icompanion says he committed suicide. Charles Morley, the third of the trio, saved hie life by surrendering to the offioers, with whom he had fought a running battle for two and a half miles over country roads with horses on the gallop. Armed with shotguns and revolvers, i while their pursuers had repeating i rifles, the convicts were within a few 'miles of Omaha, where they expecte,d ;to find frlendB who would shield them, iWhen the fatal battle took plaoe. Early in the day the telephone op- |erator at Gretna, 16 miles south of (this city, gave the alarm of the pres- ,ehce in that vicinity of the desperate jxnen. Six posses soon were ready to lattempt the capture. These included a band of Omaha detectives and pa­ trolmen, Sheriff McShane of this coun­ ty and his deputies and Sheriff Hyers and his deputies from Lincoln. Sher­ iff Chase of Sarpy county, with his deputies, are also within striking dis­ tance. South Omaha sent two posses under Chief of Polloe Briggs and the Gretna company of the National Guard was on the scene. Chief Briggs of South Omaha and hlB deputy, John C. Trouton, were lead­ ers in the party which overtook and vanquished the three convicts and •hot Blunt, the lnnooent victim. BriggB left this city on an early special train with several Omaha police officers. All left the train at Springfield and there learned of the movements of the convicts. Eight miles from Omaha the offioers caught up with the vehicle carrying the convicts, near Mowinkle school. Young Blunt was forced to lash his horses into a run, but the officers kept up the chase. When they were within a hundred yards of the pursued* men Briggs and Trouton opened fire with their rifles. The convicts replied. There was a halt vfhen young Blunt toppled back Into th<t wagon, the vic­ tim ot a bullet. Chi If Briggs jumped from his buggy and (Ired at the men in the wagon. Other' members of the posse joined in the fusillade. John Dowd •. was the next to fall. Taylor fell the next Instant. Chief Briggs shoubtd to Morley: "Drop that gun or I'll blow your head off." Morley, who held a big revolver, dropped the weapon and Briggs or­ dered him to come forward with hands up. This Morley did, when Briggs took a second revolver from one of his pockets. Briggs demanded that Morley surrender the other men in the wagon. "They are all dead," said Morley. The bodies of the convicts were turned over to Sheriff Hyers of Lin­ coln, and that of young Blunt to his family. Hyers took Morley back to Lincoln.
