Four dead as bomb accidentally explodes in New York apartment

A sensational anarchist plot was revealed by the premature explosion of a bomb in a six-story tenement building on Lexington Avenue in New York today. The tenement collapsed and four of the conspirators, three men and a woman, lost their lives.

It appears that the target for the device was to be the courtroom at Tarrytown, near the Rockefeller estate, where the trial was to begin today of several anarchists who had been arrested in connection with the anti-Rockefeller demonstrations.

Two of the men who lost their lives were to be on trial today; one of them was a prominent leader of the Industrial Workers of the World.
