CHICAGO, H., July 17.--By bold, timely
action, Inspector Bonfeld this morning
probably saved the lives Of himself and
Judges Gary and Grinnell. In a small
frame house in the vicinity Of Ashland
avenue and Thrty-third street, were found
twelve dynamite bombs, revolver and a
knife, and as the owner OF the articles
stepped TO the sidewalk he was arrested by
Bonfeld in person and taken to the police
station.
Two other arrests were made later.
When questioned as to what the prisoners
intended 10 do, Inspector Bonfeld confined
himself TO saying There was con-
spiracy Of long standing, and it was about
to be put into execution. They intended
to use the dynamite on Judge Gary, Judge
Grinnell and myself"
The chief prisoner is an old-time anarch.
ist, and was prominent in the schemes Of
Haymarket times.
Before making the first arrest, Bonfeld
had the house surrounded by five picked
officers. Just as daylight was breaking.
the inspector was joined in the vicinity by
q stranger, and few minutes later man
emerged from the house. The stranger
nudged Boniield and an order was given
10 the men who closed on the man. lie
made a desperate fight, but was quickly

Of the officers Bonfeld and the other
Officers then rushed into the house. They
were met on the stairs by a woman, the
wife OF the man who had been captured,
but she was brushed aside and the police,
guided by the stranger, entered n hall
bedroom, where, hidden in cor
ner, the inspector found an even
dozen Of dynamite cartridges wrapped in
brown paper. A further search OF the
room disclosed hidden in the bed large
revolver and dagger Some bundles OF
letters and other papers, which were
taken care Of by the police, were also
found. Then patrol wagon was called
and the prisoner was taken TO the station.
The officers next went TO q house some
distance away, which IL Is supposed was
No. 3Ol6 Quinn street. Here the two
other arrests were made, and all three
captiyes taken 10 the Central station.
Inspector Bonfcld is reported 10 have said
privately that the plot was well-arrangcd
one. About twenty determined murder
ors were In the conspiracy. and they were,
at a certain hour after midnight tonight,
10 be at the homes Of Grinnell, Gary, Ben
