NEW YORK, May 2.—Authori- ties here are working on three new |clues in the nationwide bomb plot. Officers raided the Baldwin Medi- cal institute here, finding packages of high explosives. Institute mem- bers said the explosives belonged to a chemist who travels between Bos- ton end Philadelphia and who is liv- ing in Philadelphia. The second clue is the fancy em- bossed paper in which the bombs were wrapped, made by De Longe }and Company. The third clue is a finger print on the: flank container of the bomb mailed Mayor Hylan. NEW YORK, May 2.—Investi- gators of the bomb conspiracy be- lieved they had found a clue that might lead to the discovery of the conspirators when they learned the ‘identity of the manufacturer of the neculiarly designed paper with which the boxes containing the bombs were covered. The manufacturer said only a few hundred sheets of paper had left his stock and he could furnish a list of patrons into whose possession the paper went. The paper is a fancy pale green, basket weaved design. In- vestigators suggested that the crimi- nals might have had the boxmaker prepare 25 or 30 boxes and the box- maker made use of sample paper be- cause.the order was a small one.
