CHICAGO, July 25.-The drag net Of tie
law enmeshed to-day another of the Anar.
chists who sought revenge upon the repre-.
sentatives Of the law in the persons OF Bon.
field, Gary and Grinneli.
A gunsmith, named Rudolph Sevic, wai
arrested before daylight this morning, and
is now behind prison bars under bonds oi
s., 1000.
He is charged with being the individual
who furnished dynamite to the oonspirators
who intended to assassinste the three Law
officers most prominent in the Haymarke,
prosecution.
seyic acknowledges that be haa besa ills'
gally dealing in dynamite, and that he has
zold over fifty pounds of the explosive to
various persons within year. He will
only admit having sold ten pounds to
Chicagoans, and asserts that he cannot re-
member who they were. Inspector Bon
field says he has proof that the ten pounds,
if not more, went to Kronek. Chapek and
Chleboun.
1t is definitely known that sevic bought
on May 26th, from the American Powder
Company in Chicago, twenty-five pounds Of
dynamite. 1t is ten pounds Of this purchase
that has been traced to the recently arrested
assassins. Ssvic claims that ten pounds
of the twenty-five went to farmer in Ne
braska. On the third day Of June he pur-
chased twenty-five pounds more, which he
claims to have sold to q farmer in Mime
sofa, but is unable 20 give his name or To-
cate him., Inspector Bonfeld Is positive
that Sevic was in league with the three
dynamiters arrested few days since, and
sold them the explosive with which they
expected to destroy Judges Grinnell and
Gary. Sevic is Bohemian, twenty eight
years of age, and of intelligent appearance
He understands and speaks but little Eng
lish.
Inspector Bonfield last night also cap
tured several internal machines. They
are made of zinc, four and half or five
inches in height, of cylindrical shape, two
and half inches in diameter. Inside OF
the cylinders are Others of equal height,
about an inch in diameter. These inside
cylinders are filled with dynamite, and
between them and the outside covering
the space is filed full of cut glass, lead
slugs and broken iron. In the tops Of the
inside cylinders Illuminating caps are
placed with fuses attached. Inspector
Bonfeld will not say whether or not these
machines were found in Sebic's house.
Sevic's arrest was kept secret until the
moment when he was arraigned in Court
at 10 o'clock this morning. Meantime he
had been subjected to vigorous pumping
process by Inspector Bonfield. The pro-
ceedings in Court occupied but few mo-
ments, and consisted of simply putting the
case on record, and fixing q bond heavy
enough to hold tne gunsmitb, and contin.
uing further proceedings for week.
The grand jury, already impaneled to
take up the case of Sevic's alleged cd-con-
spirators, will long before that time, IL is
expected, have formally indicted all con-
cerned in the diabolical plot.
The police say that the discovery Of the
bombs, which are doubtless the products
of Sevic's handwork, is an important link
in the chain of evidence against Kronek,
Chapek and Chebouu,
