WASN'T WHAT HE EXPECTED,
The Anarchists Attorney Dumbfounded
by the Reply of a Witness.

| by the Reply of Witness.
CHICAGO, July 2a-The lawyers con.
hected with the trial of the Anarchists
laugh at story lslegraphei from New
| York that an Austrian named fgnatz Swo-
botSa Is the only original bomb thrower
Mr.. W. a. Foster said: "rhe story is i'm
probable upcn its face. An Anarchist tells
reporter that he knows man fof whom
| MIR. Grinnell would give si0W0. He then
| takes the reporter to this greatly desired
| man, and the fellow says he threw the bomb
and tells the whole story two days before
his steamer is to sail Don't you suppose
the reporter would have utilized those two
days TO secure the $4,000. No man would
be SO great fool as to reveal crime of
that sort to a newspaper reporter"

time, and knows none about their deings
