He was identified as the leader of @'band that had robbed dozens of banks and as the slayer of five men. The bomb was exploded at the mouthwest corner of the second tler, where a double row of cells runs north and south. How the dynamite was smuggled into the jail is a mystery, Fernekes had visitors on Sunday and it was suggested that it might have been given to him then through the mesh /screen of the visitors’ cage. . Ferniekes was in solitary confine- mment today while various official in- quirles were under way which may combine investigation of the bomb plot with the recent smuggling of liquor into the jail. Visiting privileges to the inmates of “murderers’ row" were canceled and all visitors to the jail were closely inspected.
