It was addressed in a small cramped and apparently dis guised back hand to Chief Justico Waite' No 1415 I street Washington Near the bottom were the words underscored The thing inclosed was a glass tube about ten inches long and of the diameter of a lead pencil The tube is bent at an angle of about sixty degrees and was fastened to the box by means of small pieces of heavy paper pasted over it The cube for most of its lengh contained a black Lquid but about one anil a half inches from the end was a percussion cap separating the fluid from a little more than an inch of coarse powder apparently what is known as Atlas powder At the oth end of the powder was another percussion cap and to this was attached the wire which was ap parently intended to explode the tube This wire was joined to a small rubber band fastened to one side of the box arrd another wire ran from the rubber to a and which was held in place by a piece of paper pused over it' If the machine is realy wuat it seems to be the raising of the lid would have exploded it Before it reached the Chief house however the box was stamped on one side by a post office employe and the force of the blow caused the wire
