Kid Dynomite!

There is something strange about this. An "inventor" of the "dynamite gun" made from sections of pipe, was from Vermont where he demonstrated the weapon. He was assassinated on a street in Holland, "Time" magazine reported. The reason I remember it was 1) at the time I was working in the archaeology of the West Point Foundry (across the river from the Academy) in Cold Spring, NY where such a weapon was earlier designed, made from some of the many cast building supports it was casting still found inside NYC buildings, fired a wooden block a number of miles up the Hudson River from a barge, as shown in an old stereopair photo, 2) the "dynamite gun" has been reported in the press as being confiscated on its way to Iraq, maybe Libya, etc., and usually looks like a pile of pipeline pipes onboard a ship.
