MEXICO CITY, February 7.—Police authorities and government secret service agents were engaged today in collecting evidence which might lead to the arrest of men who bombed the residence of the Archbishop of Mex- ico and the building occupled by Juergens & Co., an American jewelry manufacturing concern, in this city yesterday morning. Four men are un- der arrest, but it is known several others were implicated in the two crimes. The residence of the archbishop badly damaged, but the Juergens building ‘was virtually destroyed by the force of the explosion of the in- fernal machine placed in front of Its entire street frontage was recked and windows of houses across the street were blown in. The | upper store of the factory, which is located in the resident’ section of the city, was occupied by the fam- ilies of the owners, but no one was injured. Four Men Suspected. Information gathered by the police would seem to indicate that four men did_the actual work of setting off both bombs. A small car was seen to approach the archiepiscopal resi- dence shortly before 4 o'clock yes- terday morning. It-stopped a mo- ment while one man alighted, and then started off at a rapid pace, being well down the street when the ex- plosion occurred. What appeared to be ‘the same car, or one of similar make, stopped in front of the Juer- gens factory an hour later and then it hurried away in the direction of Guadalupe. Four men were said to have ridden in each car.
