PARSONS, APA FTNIENTS.


Communication to H'Che Alarm"-
cleveland Marble Cutters Nego-
tiating for the Purchase of Ex-
pIosives = The Alleged Bomb
Ihrower's Appearance.
CHICAGO, May 15.--The Central Station
detectives have made it impossible for
Parsons, the fugitive anarchist, to show
himself in any city OF consequence in
the country without being arrested, and
now they are engaged in supplying minor
discrepancies in the evidence which will
go to prove the guilt Of the chief conspira-
tors. Yesterday the new lessee Of the
building No. 107 Fifth avenue, in cleaning
up the late headquarters of the anarch-
ists. found some documents which make
interesting reading, These papers were
on desk file in the apartments formerly
occupied by Parsons, and had doubtless
been overlooked by the Socialists in their
unwilling haste to vacare the premises.
A LETTER FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
One of the communications had evil
aently been used by Parsons in his paper,
The Alarm, and it concluded with the ex-
slamation: "Vive la Commune" The
n. c., had first signed his name but after
wards scratched it and substituted
"Don't publish my name but sign it
knight of Labor" He requests that
his communication be published and
enclosed 7a cents for ten copies OF the
Alarm, TO be sent TO B. GOldgar, post Office
box 217 Durham, n. O.. and as ''many
free copies as you possibly can for agita-
tion, ftty if possible"
WANTED SOME DYNAMITE.
On scrap of paper, written on letter
head Of a Cleveland, o., firm OF marble
cutters, is the following:
CoMRADE PARSONS: Providing we send the
following dispatch. Another bouncing boy,
weight II pounds, all well. and signed Fred
Smi'h." can you send us number one for the
amount we send you by telegraph? Please
give us your lowest estimate and state by
what express company.
The remainder of this interesting mis-
sive was torn off, but "NO. i" evidently
meant dynamite or other explosives, as
on the file was also found a bill from the
Htna Powder Company for 100 feet of
trIIle force fuse and lot Of cartridges,
made Out in the name of EsCash.''
CONSIDERABLE DEMAND.
A number of other orders for revolu-
tiopGiY handbOoks aud dynamite and
other DublioatiOus from various parts of
the country we're among the papers, TO-
gether with a number of ''crazy" letters
advocating the destruction OF all prop
erty, etc. The superintendent of the
4 powder company says he had not sup.
piled Spies or any of the anarchists with
explosives Knowingly, but it would have
been easy for them tOhave obtained dyna-
mite o., any other explosives from them
or other houses in the city under assumed
uames.
THE BOMB TBROwER.
Louis Lingg, the anarchist. who was
arrested last night and whom the
police assert to be the man they have been
looking for as the man who threw the
bomb IN Haymarket square, is young,
muscular German. de was found in a
small cottage occupied DV man named
Louis Kline. Ore officer gained admis-
sion by stra'egem, while another re-
manned outside. Llngg was not caught
unawares. HIS suspicious were aroused,
and when the officer saw that be might
as well know his errand, Lingg presented
heavy Colt's revolver at his head. The
officer caught the barrel, and struggle
for it's possession followed. The second
officer heard the noise, and burst into the
house. Lingg fought like a wild beast,
cursing and screaming with rage.
CHoKED INTO HELPLEssNEss.
II took both officers to subdue him, one
holding the revolver and preventing its
use while the other choked Lingg into
helplessness. Tue weapon was taken
from him. He was then bandcutied and
dragged to the nearest police stauon,
whence patrol wagon took him to the
East Chicago Avenue station. 1T
wouldn't care what they did with me il
had only killed these two officers" he said,
as he was being taken TO the cell. ~
tried TO shoot them and l am sorry l did
not succeed"
PARSONS CREAM-COLoRED CoNsoRT.
In an Interview to day, the wife of the
missing anarchist, Parsons, said: "The
papers don't know that there has been a
Reorganization Of the Socialists by which
all-mOuth men are exempted from any ac-
tive work. Speech-makers like myself and
Parsons and Fielden would never have
known anything about any vi0lenceif any
had been intended that Tuesday night.
Each group has its duties and they are
not mixed. / know that there are be-
tween 1000 and 5000 bomb in this city,
and II the ume had come TO use them
there would not have been stop at the
throwing Of one Of them. That was an in
dIvidual matter, and the one who did IL
probably thought he was doing right.
The press and pulpit have taken up the
cry 'crucily him. but the law will not
justify the cry.
THE COMING MILLENNIUM.
'"The timeis coming when men VIII have
machinery brought 10 such state Of per-
fectlon thai they will only work two or
three hours day, and then only 10 pro
mote health. A wealthy man may De
called upon TO give up his palace. but he
will take Joint ownership Ia the whole
world, and that will he to his adYan-
tage." Interrogated about bombs, Mrs.
Parsons said: II know there are
between 1900 and 3 600 bOombs In this
city, and il it becomes necessary they
could be used, but do not believe the
necessity will arise because the puOlic
nave become awakened TO the fact that
the people must rule, and the capitalists
will give in without bloOdshed. Indiyid-
u0ls, however, must act upon their own
rOnv lotions OF duty.v
