BOMBS AT STATIONS
CLOAKROOMS WRECKED
I.R.A. MEMBERS BLAMED
SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.) (Received July 3, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 2. Two attendants were injured by time bombs left in suitcases by members of the Irish Republican Army in suitcases in the cloakrooms of railway stations at Birmingham, Leicester, and Derby. The cloakrooms were wrecked and doors and windows blown out. Further bombs were also left in station cloakrooms at Stafford, Nottingham, Leamington, and Coventry, and the rooms were all completely wrecked. The grounds on which the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction of Gerald Francis Wharton, who was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude for participation in the I.R.A. terrorist plot, were misdirection and nondirection of the jury.
