B0WLES IS A SQUEALER.
HE MAKES A CLEAN BREAST OF
HIS PART IN THE PLOT.

|
! The Confession Said to Make Certain
the Conviction of Chairman Hoge-
Its Text Not Made Public-The Road
Bound to Give the ch-Conspirator
| the Full Punishment.
! CHICAGO, July 14-Bowles, the man in
the conspiracy, against whom the testimony
given yesterday was most conclusive, has,
it is stated made full confession of his
share in the conspiracy. He says that in
his case there was little hope of escape from
conviction, and early this morning it was
made known to District Attorney f wing
| that Bowles was ready to confess Arrange
ments were at once made to take down his
statements, and he was conveyed to Mr..
Ewing's Office to tell all he knew
1t is understood that Bowles has told the
| prosecution facts which will make the con-
viction Of Chairman Hoge certain. Chair
man Hoge, it would seem, is the man they
| are really after, not only on count of the
| blow they wish TO strike at the Brother
| hood, but because the road Off ,ials dislike
him personally. The othor defendants they
are favorably disposed toward.
TEXT OF THE sQUEAL WITHHELD.
The text of the squeal was not made pub
| lie, but it was important enough to necess
state postponement of the case before the
federal court, as well as in the state
| tribunal. 1t is certain that when the three
| Jail prisoners, Bowles, Broderick and
| Wilson, we're brought over from the Jail
this morning and put in the cage
| in the marshaps office, Bowlea
| sent word that he wanted to see the district
| attorney. He was taken to Mr.. Ewingh
office and there confessed to General Mana,
| ger Stone, Inspector Bonield and Attorney
| Collier The only direct information as "a
| the nature of the confession was a we'll de.
| fined rumOr that United States warrant
had been issued for the arrest OF Chairman
| Hoge, who is out on 81 500 bonds under the
conspiracy charge brought under the state
| law.
IN COURT.
The crowd waiting in the federal court
| room was again large, and chiefly composed
| OF Brotherhood men, whose looks of sympa'
| thy cast on the prisoners as they were
brought in Indicated their appreciation Of
| the danger their comrades were in. BowleS
came in with the district attorney and took
seat beside him, opposite the other pris.
| oners, who flashed vindictive and contempt
uous looks at him. He was visibly agitated,
and moved restlessly in his seat, keeping
his eyes bent upon the floor. Before the
| attorneys for the Brotherhood had chance
to interpose, Bowles, still trembling, was
| induced by the district attorney to rise
| quickly and waive examination.
| a SENSATIONAL SCENE.
| A sensational scene ensued The Brother
hood attorneys, Messrs Donohue ami
been treated with great unfair,
ness and given no show from
the very outset of the trial, Lawyer David
| hotly denounced Commissioner Hayne,
| declaring: I'VE could expect nothing
| else from this court and have received
| Mr.. David to be arrested by the marshal,
| but the latter did not al
once comply, and MIR. David subsequently,
made a Pickwickian apology to
| the court Bowles was released on IS, ,OOd
| bail. After the court ad jourued the here
| tofore reticent prisoner, Wilson, savagely
denounced Bowles, ridiculing the idea that
| the latter was innocent, and exclaiming,
| 'The chicken-heart, he has laid down"
PUMPING THE NFoRMERs.
Bowles, Broderick and Wilson were kept
in the marshals Office nearly all the after
noon, Tut not together. Bowles waa
closeted all the afternoon in the mar
shal's inside office with District
Attorney Ewing, General Manager Stone.
Inspector Bonheld and Marshal Marsh.
They took IN stenographic detail full notes
Of Bowles' confession up to o'clock, wheg
the taking Of the remainder was postponed
until tomorrow morning. 1t does
not differ materially from his story
Of Bowles' handling of the dyna,
mite given by District Attorney EWING
in presenting the case Friday. 1t has tha
advantage. however, of being in shape to
be sworn to by him, and thus is more valu.
able in the case against Chairman Hoge.
In its details Bowles confession adds more
to the testimony against Chairman Hoge
and has furnished some valuable pointers,
which Inspector Bonheld's men are now at
work upon.
No new warrant was issued from the
federal court against Chairman Hoge, as
was expected in the morning.
BRoDERICK THE NERvIEsT.
II appears that Broderick is the nerviest
man of the whole lot Marshal Buchan and
Inspector Bonfeld had long talk with him
in the marshal's Office. but nothing was
elected and throughout it all Broderick
kept up his smile Of contempt. For the
first time since his arrest he submitted to
an interview. He said, referring to Bowles,
"We will boycott that cur. He has not
got any nerve at all. You don't suppose a
man like that was ever an engineeri Not
