Loud Mouth Anarchists Arrested in
San Francisco.

CHICAGO, May 17-No new developments
have been devulged by the police in the case
of the Anarchist Lingg, who has been ar
rested for throwing the bomb in the Old
Haymarket, but it is understood that they
are bent ON capturing his partner, a felloY
named Schneider. Whether Lingg be iden-
titled as the thrower Of the bomb or not, the
fact that some of the eye witnesses of the
episode are almost positive of his identity,
and the facts already known about his secret
movements since then, make out a strong
chain of circumstantial evidence against
him. 1t is asserted that the fact that he
made the bomb which was used can be
proved beyond all doubt, and that no evil
dence, as the case looks at present, can
change the minp of jury on that point. The
police are in possession of number of
bombs, some of them found at Lingg's old
boarding house and some found in a trunk
belonging to him which was secreted else
where. The make and material USED in
these are all the same.
1t was also mentioned that the Anarchists
were threatening to blow up the police the
day after the riot at the Mccormick works.
There is now every reason to believe that
these threats were not idle ones, and that it
was part of a well organized plot that
when the first bomb was thrown on the night
of May 4, the police would be repeatedly
fired upon and compelled to retreat. The
mob then intended to proceed to clean out
every station house in the city. The meet
ing was not held in the square at all, but
around the corner on narrow thorough
fare. In it, should the officers march down
upon them as they did, they would present
more compact mass and the bombs could
work greater havoc The raking fire which
the Anarchists could and did pour into the
police from the alleys can be better i'm
agined than described. Every bit of evidence
so far found, goes to show very complete
and extensive conspiracy to be reyenged on
the police.
Judge Rogers, who today addressed the
grand jury who are to find an Indictment
against the Anarchists, in his charge stated
that while the Constitution provided for
freedom of speech, it also provided that all
persons should be held responsible for their
utteranceS. If a crime had been committed
by persons who had been melted thereto by
public speaker, that speaker should be held
responsible for the crime.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 17,-Oficer Thomas
Redden, who was shockingly mangled by the
bomb thrown by the Anarchist during the
Haymarket riot nearly two weeks ago, died
in the County Hospital at O'Clock this morn
ing. Up to Saturday it was supposed that
the officer would recover, but blood poison
ward pronounced hopeless. Redden's right
leg was shattered from the ankle to the knee,
and his face and arms were torn by bullets.
He was about 40 years of age, and left wife
and two children. He had been on the force
ten years. During his last hours he was
unconscious. His wife and several relatives,
together with the clergyman attached te st.
Jariath's Church, were in attendance upon
him. He is the sixth officer whose death is
due to the Anarchist bomb.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-Fiye Socialists,
crowd were arrested and charged with mis-
demeanor. The most prominent of them is
j. P. Rudeizky, Pole, who, in his speech,
endeayored to persuade his hearers to go to
Mob Hill and sack the residences of Messrs.
Stanford Crocker and Flood, and then dis
tribute what money and valuables they
might find among themselves On Rudeizky's
person were found two pamphlets written
by John Most, the New York agitator, and
entitled THE Beast of Property" and "To-
tai Annihilation proposed as the Only Infall
BILE Remedy" The prisoners resisted and
the officers had to use their clubs One pris-
oner, A. j. Warren, was rescued from the
policemen by the mob, but was recaptured.
The prisoners were much excited over their
arrest but disclaim the idea that they were
melting riot.
