Turned States Evidence.


CHICAGO, July 19.-Frank Clheboun,
the brown-hAired blue-eyed sweet
voiced fiend who with John Hrouek and
Frank Chapek schemed to murder
Judge Gary, Judge Grinnen and In
spector BonfieId, has made a full and
complete confession. Chleboun was
locked up at the armOry yesterday as
were the other two and when Chapek
was taken to the central station and
HrOuek to jail, ChlebOun was sent to
an outlying station. He was not sub
jected as were the others to the ordeal
Of having his picture taken for the
rogues gallery, but last night BOnfield
accompanied by two of his Bohemian
secret service operators clad in work
ing mems suits with soft black hats
and blue flannel shirts visited the in
nOcent looking prisoner. The proceed
ing day he bad intimated that he WAS
ready to tell all he knew and last even
ing the inspector went to hear his story.
Through the interpreters Chleboun
went through the whole story from his
first dealing with Chapek and Hrousk.
His confession was that Hrouek had
unfolded his plan for revenge and had
told of a bomb While h he (Hrouek) had
invented; it was small, not larger than
a base ball and it WAS to be loaded with
dynamite and bits of broken glass. 1t
was denied by ChlebOun that the plot
was to murder the judges and inspector,
that is he heard of no such definite
scheme. They were talked of as was
Captain Schaak and he understood that
he was to pay more attention to the
captain than anyone else. There was
no concocted plan of action but Il was
AOTA0n than when all nFQn2TQT1nnQ
were made he and two others were to
be informed by HrOuek jus
what they were to do in
the way of avenging the death of MAI
tyrs. About July lst he was visited by
Hrouek, who brought him two bombs
of the broken glass variety and two
sticks of dynamite from which he was
to make bombs of gas pipe after the
usual pattern. The other two men
were also supplied with bombs and dy-
Mantle. He had the stuff in his house
about week and then grew so afraid
that it would be discovered that he
made away with it by throwing it in
privy vault. This is the substance
of the confession which Inspector Bon
field to-day placed in the hands of a
type writer operator for the purpose of
having put in shape for court. The
confession is much more in detail and
covers about thirty closely printed
pages by his confession. 1t is under
stood that Chleboun has secured inn
munity from persecution. He is IL
reality much less guilty than either
Hrouek, Chapek or any one of the men
not yet arrested. He has agreed to
give his testimony in open court where
it will corrOborate the other evidence
secured by the inspector against the
conspirators. The other two men are
still at large. but may be arrested at
anV time

arI.,.no. Committee In,...IG..ien..

CHICAGO, July ia member of
one of the grievance committees now
in session here said to-day that very
little was done yesterday except re-
ceiving testimony which had been
gathered relative to the dynamite con-
spiracy. 1.-The testimony is not all in,
said w. b. Huskey, chairman of the
Chicago s. Alton committee, but we
have enough to show that Bowlef, Bro
derrick, Wilson and Smith are all Pink
ertOn men. Pinkerton has had men in
our organization for years, and they
are getting in their work. We have
also learned that no dynamite has been
exploded on the Burlington tracks.
How DO we known We have men who
know the effects of dynamite; men who
have seen an engine blown all to pieces
by few ounces of dynamite in the city
OF Denver during the celebrated Dem
yer s. Rio Grande strike. One result
of this meeting will be a full and free
investigation of the alleged dynamite
conspiracy. If any of our members are
guilty they will he turned over to the
authorities. We shall protect the in
tegrity Of our organization from enc
mics without and foes Within

NEW YORK, July Or. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly trade review says: The
manufacturing outlook is a little bet
ter though the prevailing spirit is still
one of uncertainty and waiting. The
demand for iron is better without
change in price, but it is not yet clear
whether the cost of production can be
readily adjusted TO the state of the
market.
The coal business is more active and
schedule prices are realized.
The copper production for the half
year is put at 40, S5O, 600 pounds. a gain
over last year of 8, 600. 600 pounds, but
the visible supply abroad now 1900
tons has increased 4, 600 tons in June.
Lead is weaker and cotton print
cloths, the demand for cotton goods be-
ing irregular. Wool does not improve
and los qualities average shade lower
than June Is. June 18th the actual
trade in progress though little smaller
than year ago, must be2considered
large for the season. Clearings at all
points still show some decrease, but for
the latest week only Al per cent in the
aggregate and per cent outside OF
New York as compared with year
ago, when transactions were very large
for the season.
General improvement is rated at st.
Paul in manufactures, at PittSbufg In

troit. Though flour milling there is
depressed and Kansas City business

shape, wars of rates do not cease and

multiply. The reported earnings bnt

roads which report earliest stocks

that Wilson was not an engineer; not a

His name is John Mullingan, and he is
a Pinkerton detective, and not only in
this case but it appears he has had the
confidence, of all the prisoners and their
