The bomb killed ten pcbple, all of whom were Italian immigrants, and of whom three died instantly and seven in the hospital. Four members 6f the Consulate and sixteen immigrants were injured. A second bomb, also of tremendous power, exploded shortly after in a chemist's shop 'in the crowded working class quarter of the city, but nobody was injured, this being due to a defect in the bomb, which prevented the full force being exerted.
