But this wretch is John Paul Farrell, 60ish, a Bronx sailor, sailmaker, tenement janitor and burglar, believed by police to be insane, who built bombs in three cigar boxes, which killed two women and wounded others. One bomb recipient (and intended victim) was New York Judge Otto Rosalsky. Story of arrest and confession in New York Times, February 5, 1913: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D0CE6D9103CE6... Another NYT story, about Farrell's second thoughts, February 6, 1913: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F00E1D81E3AE6...
