@" FIENDS IN A BAD FIX.
ONE OF THEIR NUMBER TURNS
OUT TO BE A DETECTIVE.

GUS heIteF hedu IN Court lulOThST
Bowles Goes on the Stand.
CHICAGO, Ill, July 1S-rhe largest
crowd yet assembled to witness the court
proceedings against the Burlington dyna-
miters was present to-day. Further exam
ination of informer Alexander Smith was
waived
Another sensation was sprung upon the de-
fence this morning. John Wilson, one
of the prisoners, who was arrested with
BrOderck and BowleS as an arch conSpira-
tor and as Brotherhood engineer, CoOlly
left his seat i'll the group of which BrOder-
ck and Bauerelscn were members, aud
walked TO the side of the room where the
prosecuting attorneys sat, and took chair
beside Dawes, with whom he began to chat
III friendly manner.
A PINKERTON DETECTIVE.
Then it was developed that Wilson was
not an engineer, not a Brotherhood man,
and not even Wilson. His name is John
Mullignn and he is Pnkorton detective,
and not only is this the case, but it ap-
pears that he has had the confidence of
ali the prisoners and their attorneys
The expose was brought about 10y the
lawyers too closely pressing the crosS-eA-
animation of Supt. McCfnn of the Pinker-
ton agency who was on the witness stand.
The superintendent had the alternative of
an awkward refusal to answer pertinent
question concerning Wilson, or cause the
latter to show up in his true coIorS Supt.
McGnn chose tho latter. Wilson or Mul-
ligan obeyed the motion and quickly sprang
across the room to the side of the prOsecu-
tion.
BRODERICK'S MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
When the commotion subsided, Supt.
McGnu related the circumstance of Brod-
erick, one of the cOnSpirators, thowing a
my steriOus letter out of car window at
tho time of his arr, st, and the subsequent
recovery of the letter The motive of
Broderick iii Kidding himself of the mssive
and the extreme secretiveness of the Otii-
cials in guarding its contents is not ap-
parent The letter was as follows:
Tom Brode,ick:
