Report . action he had taken to suppress the immoralitiesof a local religious community. The two cases referred to above were not the only instances of theuse of bombs during the year. Attempts were made at two pohce-stations, at Raniganj in April and at Bhadreswar, bordering on FrenchChandernagore, in December. In the latter case the bomb, which wasof the deadly picric acid type, was thrown into a room where two officerswere working and they must infallibly have lost their hves if the bombhad not, for some reason, failed to explode. The object of these outrages, for which the revolutionaries werecertainly responsible, seems to have been sheer desire to murder, for theofficers whose lives were attempted were not employed in detectingrevolutionary crime. In December yet another attempt was made to bomb Abdur Rahmanof the Midnapore conspiracy case while he was walking in a reUgiousprocession. The missile failed to explode, but on examination it provedto be another of the picric acid bombs. 58 Rl. REVOLUTIONARY CRIME IN BENGAL DURING 1913-14. BENGAL
