not yet been entirely S A owens the ma man n who informed armour and pullman sunday night that the infernal machines would be mailed to them is 19 detained in ili postal inspector stuarts office on

alling of the packages in ili tile the hope of obtaining a good reward tilts this belief Is further strengthened by the similitude of the bad spelling on the address and the spelling in a statement furnished by owens in det detailing ailing the manner of his securing the information of the lite sending of the packages in his statement owens spells contents as constence con tence arid and the word was misspelled in a similar manner on the cover of the package addressed to mr armour further confirmation of the theory Is found in the tact fact that owens business Is that of a worker on metals and the fact that the bomb was prepared by a skilled man the lead pipe is plugged at both ends with cork and the lead hammered down over the opening to make the cork slugs hold statement made to inspector stuart recites that on sunday night at 1130 he went into the alley under the L tracks at congress street and there overheard the convel aaion between wo men to the effect that they
