Two men were subsequently seen running away, and Frederick Keys was found with his hand blown off and his face injured. The two men subsequently visited the police station and gave their navies as Clarke and Cheape. They stated that Keys accused Cheape of familiarities with his wife, an accusation that win absolutely groundless. Keys was extremely jealous. After a little conversation Keys remarked, "Now I will settle it." He struck a match, and, becoming alarmed, they fled. They had gone a few yards when an explosion occurred. A parcel of dynamite was found adjacent. When assisted after the explosion, Keys moaned, "They tried to murder me." but efforts to extract something further were fruitless. His condition is critical.
