Defying the mysterious bombhurlers
who have thrown explosive
missies at his home at 100 Olive
st. five times in the last three
months. Homer Michael Boccaccio,
22, and Miss Margaret Ann Corkran,
19, 100-1/2 Olive st„ were married
In St. Brigid's Church this
morning.
Although both have narrowly escaped
injury in the series of bombings,
which created a furor in the
west end of the city, the couple decided
not to allow a small thing like
five bombings to interrupt the
course of their romance.
An one time during the investigation
of the bombings police were
working on the theory that the romance,
which was revealed in the
city clerk's office, might have been
the cause of the bombing. They
could find no evidence to substantiate
this belief.
The first explosion occurred on
Oct. 4. The second took place on
the following night, the third three
days later, another on Oct
the most recent one on Dec. 18.
Miss Corkran was sitting in the
front window of the house when
the last explosion occurred. Although
the building was shaken by
the blast, she escaped uninjured.
Homer Boccaccio was in the home,
owned by his brother, Anthony, a
former deputy sheriff, on several of
the occasions when bombs were
exploded.
They were married by Rev. Edward
A. McDowell, assistant pastor
of St. Brigid's Church. Miss Corkr
ran said she is the daughter of
George W. Corkran and Boccaccio
said he is the son of Mrs. Amadia
Boccaccio and that he is employed
by the Onondaga Pottery-
