TIE DISCOVERY OF THE PLOT,


And the Arrest of the Fiends-AIrs. Parsons
Again on the Scene.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July lS.-If the four
executions last November were supposed
to have had selative effect on organ
lied anarchy in Chicago, the events of
yesterday have disproved it. Yesterday
events occurred which bring the Hay
market massacre, with its attending hor-
rid details and its subsequent tragic
events, again before the public gaze.
Yesterday was revealed plot which, in,
its results, would have been fully rs
blighting to life and property as was the
dreadful event OF the night OF May 1,
1886. The public officials who had con-
tributed their individual efforts toward
the vindication Of the law us 1t was then
violated, were the ones, whose lives were
10 be sacrificed, and by that dreaded
agent OF Observation-Disclosures.
About ten days ago prominent Bo-
hemian called on Inspector Bondeld and
informed him that plot was on foot,
the object OF which was to avenge the
execution OF Spies, Parsons ct al, by
blowing up with dynamite the residence
OF Judge julius S. Grinnell, who was
the State Attorney when the Anarchists
were tried; Judge Gary, who was the
presiding Judge, and also the residence
OF the Inspector, who had been, the
prime mover Of the arrests which fol-
lowed the Haymarket affair, and who
furnished most OF the evidence which
brought four OF the principles to the gal
lows, forced another into suicides
grave, and sent three others to Joliet.
NOT SLOW IN ACTING.
The Inspector was not slow, in acting
upon the tip thus given, and BY careful
shadowing and other skillful detective
work succeeded in weaving a web, as he
claims, Of incontestible facts, about at
least three men, and arresting them this
morning.
The name OF the ringleader is John
Hronek, and he lives at 1852 Farrell
street. He is Bohemian and aeabinet
maker by trade. The old man is Frank
Chapek, who lives ut 49S West Twen-
tieth street. He is also Bohemian, as
is the third man, whose name is Frank
Chilibowa, tailor, living on Zion place,
and who is the informer who told the
story OF the plot to the Bohemian, who
in turn detailed it TO Inspector Bonteld.
It seems that since the execution a
movement was started among the fol-
lowers Of revolution and chRos in Chi
cago by which the groups which dis
banded almost as soon as the market
bomb burst were to be reorganized, it
appears, to do business at the old stand.
Ii was thought dangerous, in the light
OF past events, to have these groups COM
posed OF an unlimited number, because
It would increase the possibility OF in
formers making their appearance at the
most critical period, when
SILENCE WAS VERY GOLDEN.
It was concluded that each group, as
organized, was to have no more than
three members. With each of the three
members well acquainted with the
others who composed the group when
formed, 1t was thought that "squealing''
in the Anarchists ranks in the future
could become lost art.
The three men arrested constituted a
group, and in the hands OF these was left,
by whom It is not yet known, the pleas
ant occupation OF blowing up residences
until the act OF last November was con.
sidered fully wiped out in blood. The
group now incarcerated in the cells un'
der the City Hall had no regular meet
ing place, where plans could be DISCUSS.
, cd, but they met casually as friends, and
over glass OF beer concocted their bold
and bloody schemes. Itwas agreed thai
Grinnel's house was the first one to &
skyward, but not unless the ex-State'l
Attorney was IN inmate when the ex
l plosion took place. Judge GrayIs houst
