Woman Destroys Bomb.

What might have been a disastrous explosion was prevented when Mrs. Pauline Siegel picked a bomb, with a lighted fuse attached, from the doorstep of the house of her neighbor, Mrs. Salvatore Corso, 1621 South Franklin, street, Philadelphia. Mrs Siegel hurled it into the street This broke the crudely constructed bomb, and only a section exploded. Mrs. Siegel saw two men place a queer-looking package on the step, apply a match, and run away. She grasped the package and hurled it into the street. It contained six sticks of dynamite and a large quantity of gunpowder. The copper wires, which had been wrapped around the package, broke. The contents of the powerful bomb were scattered in all directions. Mrs. Corso said her family has no enemies. _ _ • . ;j - ■- -.
