Harry Wilson to Tell Experiences Harry Wilson, of the state indust: commission, LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.—With Oscar W. Lawler, former federal district attorney for Southern California, undergoing the herotc “parafin treatment” for burns, authorities today were following three definite clews which they hoped might lead to the arrest of the parties who blew up the Lawler home Sunday morning “Lawler is resting comfortably,” wag the announcement of physicians early today, “Mrs. Lawler ts doing | nicely and there t# no question about her recovery.” ‘The three distinct theories are: ‘That the bomb was set by writers of threatening letters which Lawler has received on many occasions tn the last 10 years. That the dynamiter was some man whom Lawler sent to prison while he was United States attorney, ‘That it was a man connected with a Mexican revolutionary plot who was prosecuted in a Middle Western state and In whose prosecution Law. ler was active. There were two distinct blasts, persons living in the neighborhood said. Police say the first explosion must have thrown Lawler and his wife from their bed on the sleeping . | porch directly above where the bomb was set, and partially wrecked the side of the house. The second explosion sent a apray of gasoline over the house In a moment it was a roaring furnace. Lawler and his wife made two un suceessful attempts to reach their son, Oncar, jr, aged 5, sleeping in the back of the house, and hia nurse, Mins Keasie Mills, Hach time a our | tain of flames halted them, Then Mra. Lawler fainted. A crowd which was gathered outside, saw Lawler, his night clothes al ready burned away, lean far out of a window, his wife's limp body in his arms. Lowertng the body as far an he could, he dropped Mra. Lawler onto an awning, which broke her 20. foot fall. Then Lawler climbed to the bias ing roof and leaped to the ground. Neighbors rescued Oscar, jr, and his nurse, So terrific was the explosion that it drove the cap of the five-inch iron pipe bomb thru three hedges and a board fence, and dented the front of a house 160 feet away. Nitrogty cerine was the bomb's content, pow der experts anid At the hospital today, physictans said that only the invention of the paraffin treatment for burns will permit Lawler to live.
