ers arrested on suspicion of being dyam-
tiers deny the charge against them and
claim the protection of the American
flag. They are evidently Irish-Ameri-
cans and denied knowing each other.
Both are young men. Holmes was
asked what packages were in his valise,
and replied that he did not know, as
they did not belong to him. One of the
valises contained one hundred pounds of
dynamite of powerful nature. The
dynamite was found in the trunk and
valise of Brockett. In both valises was
a small clock. A matchmaker says con
neeted with them is the machinery to
cause the explosions. One OF the
weapons found on Holmes, which, on
being discharged at one end, wire will
ignite the fuse at the other end, and
thus explode the dynamite with which
it would be connected

wire, and two telegraph instruments and
several dispatches. The wire was con-
nected with the instruments of the
Western Union wires. One Of the dis
patches had the names OF the first two
horses in the race at Washington. The
scheme apparently was to tap the wires
running to Brooklyn and learn the result

the names of the winners. Two arrests
are reported. They offered skilled op-
