Held as Witness.
Mrs. Helen Taylor, a widow, living on
the ground floor of the apartment hones
at No. m West 77th street, wan In?
stantly killed yesterday evening In the
drawing room of her home as she was
opening; a ?mall wooden box which had
been handed to her a moment before.
Inside the ho . apparently harmless
from outward appearances, was a pow?
erful explosive and several ateel slugs.
The bomb worked by an Ingenious ar?
rangement of springs, and the explosion
OCCUlTBd as soon as Mrs. Taylor lifted
the co'cr.
One of the shiflrs in th? box entered
Mrs. Taylor's breast, ploughing a rag?
ged course through the flesh and pierc?
ing the heart. Other bits of st*al
entered the walls and celling of ths
rooin and shattered the front wlndowi.
When other persons ran in they found
Mrs. Taylor lying on the floor, a pool cf
blood about her body. A peculiar thing
about the explosive, the nature of which
has not \oA been determined by the po?
li?e, was that no smoke whs reatod and
scarcely a trace was found of the In?
gredients cf which if was composed.
Arrest Soon Made.

into the case they arrested a man who
