More Evidence A gainst the Socialists

CHICAGO, May I5.--The central station |
detectives had made it impossible for |
| Parsons the fugitive anarchist to show |
himself in any city of consequence In the |
country without being arrested and they |
are now engaged in supplying minor dis
crepanoies in the evidence which will go |
to prove the guilt of the chief conspira- |
| tors
Yesterday the new lessee Of the build
| ing No. 107 Fifth avenue, in cleaning up
the late headquarters of the anarchists
found some documents which make in
teresting reading. These papers were ON
o desk file in the apartments formerly
occupied by Parsons and had doubtless
been overlooked by the Socialists in their
unwilling haste to vacate the premises.
One of the communications had evidently
been used by Parsons in his paper, the
AlagM-and II concluded with the ex-
clamation: Vive la Commune. The
writer. Junius A. Strickland of Durham,
N. O., had first signed his name, but
afterward scratched IL and substituted,

, his Communication be published and en-
closed rs cents for 10 copies Of the Alarm
, to be sent to b. Goldgar, P. o. box 277,
, Durham, N. O., and as "many free copies

q | sives, as on the file was also found bill

A number of other orders for revolu-
!. tionary nd-books and other dynamite
i publications from various parts of the
a country were among the papers, together
o with a number of ''crazy" letters advocat-
il ing the destruction of all property, &c.

houses in the city under assumed names.
