An Anarchist Attempts Suicide.

New YORK, Aug. 31.-Anarchls Tohn
Kilyan, under arrest for being the moving
spirit in the Kohout incendiary murder in
East Sixty-fourth street, for which the
Kohout brothers were sent to Sing Sing
for life, made an attempt to cheat the
hangman yesterday by suiciding. It was
frustrated by an officer. The police claim
to have information to the effect that the
band OF Anarchists in training under
Herr Most and his lieutenants have
for more than year been firing tene-
ment houses for private profit and loaded
their consciences with murder dozen
times over. The Anarchists, however. are
sworn to secresy, and innocent men viii be
executed rather than disclose secrets oil
their organization. In the case OF the
Kohouts one of the brothers was innocent
of the crime charged, while the other was
guilty, but the innocent Anarchist dis.
dained to appeal for mercy. Iii thought
that Kilyan attempted suicide rather than
run the risk of further disclosures.
