Precautions Taken to Protect Mer- chant’s Son While Detectives Work on the Case. The Brooklyn police now admit that the threatening letter addressed to Peter W. Rouss, the address on the bomb re- celved by him last week, the threaten- ing letters sent last summer to Mrs. Harriet E. Pouch, proprietor of the Pouch Mansion, and more recently the letter went to Principal B. F, Stevens, of the Arlington School, Flatbush. threatening to kidnap his ten-year-old son, were all written by the same pel son. No attempt at disguising the hand- writing was made, as the police say It {9 {dentical In every instance. It 1s be- Neved that the writer is a harmless crank,, who seeks to annoy persona of wealth or prominence. A postal card received by tho police a day or two ago denouncing Mr. Rouss for his methods of advertising himself, as tho writer put It, was also the work of the crank. This man admitted he had sent the Domb to the Rouss houee, Four Detectives at Work. Four of the shrewdest men in the souklyn Central Office are at work on the case. Since the recelpt of the Rouss letter on Monday a detective has been stationed at the Rouss hom 21 Park avenue, day and night. je man on duty by day acts as the family butler and ques- tions every caller regarding his business. Tho man on night duty stands post on the sidewalk. The lettera addressed to Mrs. Pouch ed to blow up the Mrs, Pouch took $10,000 and deposited it at the foot of a pole which the writer said he would erect at a certain spot in Flatlands. An attempt to trap the writer by carrying out his proposals had no result. Principal Stevens, of the Arlington School, was warned that his son would be kidnapped untess he gave up $600 In a somewhat similar manner, A week ago a bomb containing a quar- ter of a pound of glant powder was re- ceived at Mr. Rouss's home. It was opened by the coachman. That ft did not explode was due to a alight miscal- culation of the maker {n arranging his fuse, Capt. Reynolds, of the Brookly: Detective Department, said thero w powder enough In the Infernal machine to have wrecked the Rouss home. Mr, Rouss did not take the matter eerlously, though his father, Charles Broadway Rouss, intimated that the bomo might have been sent by a dis- charged employee of thelr firm. Another Lettar Sent. On Monday, however, Mr. Rouss re- ceived a letter postmarked "Troy, > Y." The writer declared he had s the bomb and sald he waa sorry it had failed to do its work. He warned Mr. Kouss that he was not yet done with him. “You will hear from me in a few anys nnd there will be no allp this He, he wa' Mr, Rouss turned the letter over to Capt. Reynolds, who at once instructed Cept. White to detail a man In citizen's clothes night and day at Mr, Rouss's home. ir.
