ANOTHER SENSATION.
Pinkerton Detective in the Role of {
Brotherhood Engineer.


CHICAGO, Ill, July 18.-The greatest
crowd yet assembled to witness the
court proceedings against the Burling
ton oynamiters was present to-day.
Further examination of the informer,
Alex Smith, was waived.
Another sensation was sprung upon
the defense this morning. John Will
son, one Of the prisoners who was ar
rested with Broderick and Bowles as an
arch conspirator and as a Brotherhood
engineer, coolly left his seat in
the group Of which Broderick and
Bauereisen were members, and walked
over to the side of the room where the
prosecuting attorneys sat and took q
chair beside Mr.. Dawes, with whom he
began to chat in friendly
manner. Then it was developed
that Wilson was not an engineer,
not a Brotherhood man and not even
Wilson. His name isJohn Aulligan and
he is Pinkerton detective, and not
only is this the case, but it appears he
has had the confidence of all the prison
ers and their attorneys.

More Light on The Last Plot
Of The Anarchists.
A CHICAGO RED CONFESSES.
Chleboun Tells How He was In
duced to Make Deadly Bombs
by Hronek-Bonfeld's
Cunning.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 19.-Franll Chile
boun, the brown-haired, blue-eyed,
sweet-voiced fend, who, with John
Hronek and Frank Oh apex schemed to
murder Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell
and Inspector Bonfeld, has made
a full and complete confession.
Chleboun was not locked up at the
armory yesterday as were the other two
and when Chapek was taken to the GEN.
trail station and Hronek to jail, Chleboun
was sent to an outlying police station.
He was not subjected, as were the
others to the ordeal of having his pic
ture taken for the rogues' gallery.
Last night Inspector Bonfeld, accom-
panied by two of his Bohemian secret
service operatives, clad in working
mems suits, with soft black hats and
blue flannel shirts, visited the innocent
looking prisoner. The preceding day
he had intimated that he was
ready to tell all he knew and
last evening the inspector went to
hear his story.
Through the interpreters, Chleboun
went into the whole story from his first
meeting with Hronek and Chapek.
His confession was that Hronek had IN
folded his plans for revenge and had told
of hn h h oh he Hol
ed. 1t was small, no larger than
base ball, and 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 Capt. Setback, and he
understood that he WAS to paw
mole attention to the captain than to
anyone else. There was no concerted
plan Of action, but it was agreed that
when all preparations were made he and
two others were to be informed
by Hronek just what they were
to do in the way of aveng-
ing the death of the martyrs
About July 1 he was visited by
Hronek, 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
~ +xr-o IL
supplied with bombs and dynamite.
He had the stuff in his house for about
a week and then grew so afraid that it
would be discovered that he made
away with it by throwing it in privy
vault.
This was the substance of the confess
sion which Inspector Bonfeld to-day
placed in the hands of type writer
operator for the purpose of having it
put in shape for use in court. The con-
fession is much more in detail and COW
ers about thirty closely printed
pages. By his confession, it is
understood, Chleboun has virtu-
ally secured immunity from prose-
cution. He is in reality much less
guilty than either Hronek, Chapek or
one of the men not yet arrested. He
has agreed to give his testimony in open
court where it will corroborate the 9TH
er evidence secured by the inspector
against the conspirators.
The two other men are still at large
but may be arrested at any time.

er, Gen. Stilesand others prom
inent in the prosecution of
Spies and his companions. Dyna-
mite was to be placed beneath
the houses Of these and the
powerful explosive was to be
touched off simultaneously. The Board
of Trade was to be blown to the sky at
the same time, and a wholesale reign
of terror inaugurated.
Before making the arrest, Bonfeld
had the house surrounded by five
picked officers. Just as daylight was
breaking, the Inspector was joined in
the vicinity by a stranger and few
moments later man emerged from
the house. The stranger nudged Bon
field and an order was given to the men
who closed on the sman. He made a
desperate fight, but was quickly over
powered and placed in charge of two
of the officers.
