TYPEWRITER USED ON BOMB THAT KILLED ELEN TAYLOR { \ t TRACED 1 Bronx “Powder Maniac” Now in Hospital Is Formally Ac- cused of Her Murder. EXPERT IS SURE OF IT. Same Evidence Links Injured Man With the Bomb Sent to Judge Rosalsky. The thin :ype faces on typewriter No. 22,931 up in room No. 25 of the Topographical Bureau in the Bronx Borough Hall may prove to be the mute evidence that will send to the lectric chair Henry J. Klotz, the raughteman in the city’s employ who | on Friday night was severely wound- 4 by the explosion of an infernal’ machine of his own manufacture in Bis home at No. 1332 Fulton avenue, the. Bronx. To-day Klotz, still on his cot in Ford- ham Hospital, but well on the road to fecovery, was formally charged with the murder of Helen Taylor, who also called herself Graco Walker. She was Killed by the explosion of a bomb in a candy box in her apartments at No. 103 West Seventy-seventh street, In Feb- ruary, 1912, The bomb maker will also be charged with having attempted the life of Judge Rosalsky, in whose rooms a similar bomb in a candy box exploded on March 16 of last year, mangling the hand of Owen Egen, an expert of the Bureau of Combustibles. That Klotz sent both of these bombs is alleged because of thin pieces of fis- ured metal on the typewriter bars of the writing machine located in the office Klots had access to in the Bronx Bor- ough Hall. An expert designer of type- writer type as well as others with knowledge of personality in the product of typewriting machines have said that upon this machine Klotz wrote the ad- dress slips that were pasted on the tops of the murd@rous bomb that kiled the Taylor woman and the one designed to kill the Judge. TYPEWRITER EVIDENCE THE LAST LINK IN THE CHAIN. Byer since Helen Taylor was blown to pleces a score of detectives have been scouring the city to find the typewriting machine possessing just the peculiarities that were registered in the printed ad- dress slips on the two bombs. They knew in advance, and upon the word of experts, that it was of the Eliiot-Fisher manufacture—a comparatively rare make of instrument; they knew that this and that letter were smudged slightly—showed some departure from designed form. If the single type- writer expressing this “personality” could be found its evidence would go a tong way toward convicting the man who used it In addressing the bombs. ‘After the explosion in Klotz's home last Friday detectives went to the office im the Bronx City Hall, where Klotz hed been employed for fifteen years as draughteman, and examined all of the typewriters. They came upon a single Biliott-Fisher machine and took samples of its work. J. Frank Allard, engraving expert of the Underwood Typewriting Company, compared this sample and the scraps of address from the Tawor and Rosalsky bombs and pronounced them undoubtedly the work of the same While detectives under Acting Capt, Price of the Bronx were running down the typewriter others, acting under Deputy Commissioner Dougherty’s direc: tion, took up the old trail where it led from the door of Helen Taylor—or Grace Walker's—flat, They were rewarded by finding much clroumstantial detail tend- ing to show the motive prompting the! murder of the Taylor woman, Under the name of Walker the woman had lived at > until two weeks before the time she was murdered, She maintained a disorderly house there; two girls, Olivette Leonard and Edna Lamar, lived with her, A man by the name of Howard Dick who later became the chief ot suspicion immediately following (Continued on Second Page.) son of the a + No, 18 West Sixtieth strect| KLOTZS OFFICE |BOMB-MAKER KLOTZ ACCUSED OF MURDER OF HELEN TAYLOR.

Hearken now to this brief tale out of an old book--of a noble bern lady, a love-lorn but honest swain, a re- nunciation of all the gauds and hon- ors of title and blood, and— e ina cottage. There came to these shores to-day aboard the steamship Verona of the Italian line the Comtessa Adelina Chi- odi of Turin, Down at the wharf to meet her was the handsome Signor Victor de Agostino, formerly of Turin also, but now of Boston, Just as soon as the Comtessa’s baggage passed through the customs she and the radi- ant Signor de Agostino went rigat away to get a license and visit the priest. For, after many years of heartbreak, the Comtessa and her Victor were to be made one. They ‘had grown up together, back on her father’s estates, There Vic- tor was only a stable boy and Adelina was the Comtessa, so far above him in station that he hardly dared to look Into her eyes when he helped her into the saddle. There came a gay, however, when he saved Adelina’s life from a runaway horse. Love grew from that day. Vic- tor came to this country, became an olive oll Importer in Boston and pros- pered.

Comes Back at Last to Man She Was to Wed, but With * Mind a Blank. A man’s sweetheart came back to him to-day from the burnt-out Inferno of the Punjab, in India, ana when he ran to her, arms open and the light of a man's great love on his face, she stared at him with eyes that saw not. The soul of the woman had died tn the great heat and the famine agony of the Punjab. All that came back to the lover, who had waited, wae the shell— had fled. Here is what lay behind the tragedy that was enacted on the deck of the Mallan line steamship Verona, in from Naples and Mediterranean ports. Two years ago Miss Margaret Rey- nolds of Waterloo, heard the call of the Word, directing her to go to the far land of India an@ there take up the cause of the cross in, the land of darkness. She was pledged to marry Walter H. Thompson, a young man of her prairte town who had grown up from childhood with her. GIRL FACES DEATH IN INDIA BY FAMINE, But when the call came Margaret Reynolds felt her life would be pur- poseless if she did not devote some years of it to the cause ‘Thompson sald he would walt for her; she promised that after two years she would come back and wed him, So Margaret Reynolds left the se- curity and the quiet of an Iowa village | and travelled for more than forty days to Lahore, in india, Then, by bullock cart, she went far out from Lahore to the frontier Prosbyterlan mission sta- tion in the desert, there to begin her labors, There were less than a dozen white people at the station, in the midst of tens of thousands of Hindoos. A year ago came the great famin such a scourge as rarely visits even the greatly scourged land of thirst in the Punjab. The earth cracked with the heat; the pitiful crops withered and turned to cinder; the herds died, Food lacked everywhere, ‘Then when death stalked the bone- bare hills and the starving began to flook to the mission, grim months of travail commenced for Margaret Reyn- olds and those with her at the station, The girl from Iowa saw Death in his nakedness day by day. Gach succeeding scorching sun brought the spectre nearer to the mission, and the few men and women there with Margaret Reynolds began to divide thelr ecanty feed stores with the dying. For six months the agony continued, and then, one day, when the others in the station went to Margaret Reynolds's room to rouse her, they found the girl lying on her cot, muttering and picking at the sheet with never tiring fingers. Her mind had sped. All efforts to re- store the girl to sanity were fruitless, To-day the Verona arrived with the girl from Iowa aboard. With her were Miss Katherine McKengle, one of the mission workers from Lahore, and a trained nurse. Gray is her hair now and her eyes are as dead as the withered berries on a rosebush in spring. Her gheeks are those of a woman of sixty, She walks auto- matically, ‘Thompson, her flance, had come on from Chicago to meet his sweetheart, knowing the great burden that had been laid on the girl, but hopii ayainst hope that the sixit uf him| would bring back to her what the sun had taken in toll in Lahore, Hardly was the gansplank lowered when he bounded up to the deck of the ship to where he saw @ hooded and shawl- swathed figure standing in the com- pany of others by the rail, “Margare The man’s soul cricd out with a great voice and he took the hands of the sick woman in his, as he looked into her eyes with a great yearning.

SENTENCE TONG SING CELL First Policeman Sent to Prison in Graft Cases Will Serve 2% to 3% Years, IS “LOYAL TO SYSTEM.” Justice Seabury to Hold Court at Walsh’s Home for Testi- mony Against Sweeney. John J. Hartigan, the policeman con- victed of perjury, was sentenced to a Prison term of from two years and six months to three years and six months In Sing Sing Prison to-day. Sentence was imposed by Justice Seabury, who offered no comment. Hartigan “took his medicine” with a smile. The District-Attorney has not yet lost hope that the convicted police- man will tell more than he has told about his part in the transaction by’ which a bribe was passed to George A. Sipp to keep him ayt of the State. To give Hartigan another chance to confess the District-Attorney and Jus- tlee Seabury have arranged to ellow him to remain in the Tombs until next Mon- jay. Although Hartigan has been implored by his wite and his sister to tell the District-Attorney all he knows, he etub- bornly insists that he has told the truth. He insists that he did not know Inspector Sweeney put $800 in an en- velope to be delivered to Sipp. LAWYER PLEADS FOR CLEM- ENCY TO PERJURER, When Hartigan was arraigned to-day the Court asked him if he anything to say. He replied, with a broad smile, that he had no message to deliver or plea to make. Then his counsel, James A. Donnelly, asked for lentency on the ground that the ends of justice were served by Hartigan's conviction, The Court promptly imposed sentence, which could have been five years’ imprison- ment. “This is the most amazing case in sald Diatrict-Attorney Whitman after Hartigan had been sen- tenced. “This young man has told enough to convict nim of having lied in his original story, yet he stands here and takes this sentence with a le.

I know that Hartigan's sole asset is a deposit of $100 in a savings bank, but nevertheless he scems to have resolved to go to prison for more than three years and leave his wife and thelr four-year-old son to get along as best they may, simply because he doesn't want to be called ao “squealer.” SWEENEY FIGHTS AGAINST TAK.
