Sensational Story of the Anarchists
Intentions i'm Chicago.
CHICAGO, May pa morning paper
published to-day what purports to be the
testimony of Capt. Setback yesterday be-
fore the grand jury in relation to the insti-
gators of the recent hay market slaughter.
This testimony as printed is sensational in
the extreme, but not incredible, and it is
anticipated that the developments of the
next few days will prove the truth of much
OF it. Capt. Setback is said to have told
the jury the following facts, resulting from
the investigations of the police department,
He had witnesser to prove that the pris-
oner, Lingg, had manufactured number
OF dynamite bombs from material obtained
the office of the Arbeiter Zeitung. Three
men were associated with Lingg, one of
whom was under arrest. The second sec
ton of the captains testimony, it is said,
was listened to with breathless silence.
81 Think said Setback ''that have got
to the bottom of this business. In a couple
OF days will have it all, but want a little
more time. Then 1 can prove beyond q
doubt that this anarchist conspiracy has ex-
listed here for years. There are two divisions
OF it. One is an agitating section. Money
is set apart for its purposes. This is called
the socialist section. Besides this there is an
armed party-an anarchist section. These
drill and are trained in the use of explosives
L think can prove that there was q well-laid
plan
TO SACK AND BURN
certain districts in Chicago May 4. 1t would
have been carried out but that the
anarchists lacked nerve and were up
prepared for the vigorous action of the police.
Men were told OFF to set fire to certain hous
IN the northwestern portion OF the city, and
others were told off to throw bombs into the
police stations, while others were to use
bombs at tce meeting if the police attempted
to dispense it. think 1 can connect every
man of the socialists now in jail with this.
The houses to be burned in the northwestern
section of the city wese to be selected indis-
criminately. The purpose of the burning
was to attract the attention of the police to
that section, and to draw them away from
the main points of attack, the Haymarket
square and the police stations. The early
dispersal of the crowd in the square, the pre-
mature throwing of the bomb, for it was pre-
mature, and the determined resistance of the
police frightened the would-be incendiaries
and those who were to attack the police bar
racks in detail'
A juror asked where the witnesses to
prove this conspiracy were.
I'm the lookup of the police station"
Smack replied. Il can produce as many of
them before the grand jury as may be deemed
wise and necessary. They have confessed
their completely to me. 1 have explained to
the states attorney, and I am acting under
his Instructions
PARSONS IN FLORIDA.
ST. LOUIS. May 23.-The anarchists, F.
ID. Bergemann, Martin Frank. Otto Fricke
and Gottleib Jaborosky, for whom war
rants were issued yesterday, were arrested
to-day and jailed to await trial on the
charge of having introduced and urged the
adoption OF, at an unlawful assemblage,
resolutions indorsing the actions of the an
archists during the Haymarket riot in Chi
cago. 1t had been stated previous to their
arrest by detective, who was working ON the
case that these men knew more concerning
the whereabouts of the noted Chicago agi-
tator, Parsons, than they cared to reveal.
This detective states that he knows posi-
lively that Parsons passed through small
town in Northern Kansas soon
after the riot, with the inten-
ton of escaping to Canada, but was
obliged to change his course on account of
the serious delay to travel, washouts on
railroads, and started for the South, pass
ing through this city On the way and con-
ferring with his brothers while here. Ii
this should prove to be the truth of the
matter, the arrests made here to-day are
important and tend to substantiate the
statement teIegraphed from Florida that
Parsons had been seen there, presumably
on his way to Cuba.
