rr,onek and Frank Chapak, the arrested

aimed against Inspector Bonfeld and Judges Gary
and Grinnen were before Justice Lyon at the Ar
mory this morning. Hronek is yeung fellow of
insignificant appearance except when he speaks.
Then his eyes snap and he puts force into his
words that shows him possessed of determined
mind in his small, ill-shaped head lie is not over
five feet four inches in height, but the police give
him the name of being the most desperate one OF
the gang. The prisoners were charged with violat-
ing Section 54 Chapter 3s, Revised Statutes
which declares it punishable offence To have IN
possession dynamite other highly explosive sub
stances. Bail was fixed at $4,000 for each pris-
oner and the case was continued ten days
Inspector Bonfcld told reporter at the close
of the trial that he was accumnlatlng evidence
wbicn he was sure would prove conspiracy on
the part of the prisoners. The police were looking
for other persons concerned in the plot tonight
There arc several Others who are wanted and the
Mot for the destruction Of life and property Is
much more extensive than the facts published
up to the present time would indicate. ms
morning IIronei Chapak and Chleboun were
piled with questions in the cells of the Central
Police Station and The News tonight says
that Chapall and Cheboun made statements
which will lead to several additional arrests
within the next twenty-four hours. MI liuooard'
the chief Of police, was asked
is it true that more arrests and further raids
are N be made in connection with the anarchist
plot?'
ave have the names Of other men whom we
want" was the reply.
Il will tell you now, on condition that you
don't ask me any more questions, that there are
others in Chicago who are wanted in connection
with this thing and you can rest satisfied that
we are going to have them, too, before long,
Chapak and Ilroneck were seen by reporter
who with a Boheman interpreter obtained per-
mission TO talk with them. Ilronec< took his i'm
prisonment good-naturedly and laughed as ne

possessing of all the prisoners lie is abont lhir1t

Is thought that Chleboun was drawn into the plot p
bv the others. and that he has probably told the
Inspector all he knows about the conspiracy. MS
companions evidently suspect him OF TINS, wnat-
ever the facts may be. ard while they are not out

boun could no longer have their confidence
