Knock H1m the Head with a Ch81Ts
 CHICAGO July 19.-The discovery of an- other anarchist plot in the city, and the seizure of large quanties of dynamite and bombs by the police, together with the arrest of the three men Tuesday and the impend- ] ing arrest of others, invested the case of the alleged Burlington dynamiters with addi- tional interest. There was an immense crowd present when the hearing resumed. The cool and complacent revelations of Alexan- der Smith as to his participation in the plot and his confession of having placed the bomb on the railroad track, under alleged instruc- tions from Bowles and other co-conspirators, in view of these later developments, made him the centre of all eyes as he entered the court room.
 To the surprise of everybody, when court was called to order MT. Ewing stated that Smith waived further examination. To this MT. Donohue, one of the counsel for defense, replied that he did not think that a witness could waive examination, but, however, he would not object.
 Capt John c. MoGinn, of the Pinkerton agency, the first witness called. The parcel of dynamite said to have been in the possession of the prisoners in the passenger coach while they were on the train for Chicago was again brought into court. Capt. McGinn narrated how the dynamite was discovered. He saw it under the arm of Frederick on the platform at Aurora ''1 saw him place the package hat rack in the smoking car. Wilson and another man were with him. Bowles shortly afterward came i'll and took a seat opposite Bro1erick. After l saw him enter I went back and got one of my operatives, and we entered the car where the men were. United States Deputy Marshal Burchard had warrant in his pocket to arrest Broderick This occurred on the 2:05 train leaving Aurora for Chicago on July B."
 Attorneys David and Donahue, for the de- fense, scored point when they established the fact that the warrant for the arrest of the men sworn out before the crime was committed.
 A profound sensation was created at the following revelation:
 "Do you know Wilsong" asked Attorney Donahue
 Mct3inn visibly trembled, and a delay of nearly five minutes followed before he an- | swered the question. He finally acknowl- edged that Wilson, one of the conspirators so called, was in the employ of the Pinkerton | agency
 Are there any other of the defendants in the employ of your agency?" asked Mr. | Donahue.
 At this question the witness smiled and l said: 'No."
 Before we are through with your exanli- 1 nation" exclaimed MT. Donahue, i've will l have no clients at all.n
 At this point District Attorney Ewing l capped the climax of astonishment prevailing the court by stating that Wilson waived ex- animation and that the charge against him was dismissed. The attorneys for the defense, 1 however, demanded that Wilson should not l be permitted to leave the court, and asked l xvb ha yUoC tO ba cd o vx-i%1 Attorney Dawes, for the railroad company, l promised that he should not be allowed to ] escape From this moment the proceedings were of an intensely sensational character. I "Why didn't you arrest the fourth man; 1 why did you allow him to get away?" asked ] Attorney Donohue
 "I thought had my hands full with Null l lgan."
 "Whyl Isn't Mulligan-the man Wilson, l now in court-your own operative7n
 "Yes,' responded Capt McGinn.
 "And you actually assign this before the l court and before the world your reason for permitting the fourth man to escapeF' l To this question McGinn made no reply 1 "Do you know whether that fourth man l was the man that put the package in the carf'
 "I do not" replied McGinn 1T saw Brod- erick put his hand out of the window had l the Lraln stopped ana ran Dack and found 8 | letter on the track"
 He then identified the letter produced by District Attorney Ewing as the one he found on the track. Attorneys Davis and Donahue said that although the letter contained noth- ing relevant to the case, they had no obiec- tion to its being read The letter was ad- dressed to Tom Frederick and read as fol- lows:
 DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER-I just received letter from Bowles from Glenwood Junction. Mo- and ] don't know where to write he will get my letter. You should have made arrangements with him when he was at Creston. I will let you i know if 1 can get him as possible I.et me know where to address you every time you | write.) l will always write the Con- man. and | you can get your mail from them-that is the surest way. will direct to you in care of them. and tell them to return the letter if you have left there. I will try to find J. A. B. soon as can, and get him to work. If you hear of him tell him to come to Aurora, unless you want him with you Your Hard Striker
 j. A. BAUERE1sES,
 On the back of the letter the following ap- peared:
 Maybe J. A. Bowles is gone to Brook field He said in his letter he would write soon. He says they are getting onto him"
 Police Inspector Bonfeld took the stand and described the tests of part of the dyna- mite taken from the package found on the train, which he made in company with the United States officials.
 Bowles, the 'squealer, was the first witnea at yesterdays afternoon session in the Bur. lington dynamite cases. The proceedings were of lively nature, personal altercations between counsel being frequent, and at ona time active hostiities were threatened At torney Donohue, of the counsel for the de fense, announcing that he would break the
 witness head with chair If he addressed any further impertinent remarks to him
 The court succeeded in preserving the peace
 only by frequent and sharp admonitions tc
 the belligerents. Bowles began his testimony by stating that he had talked with the defend
 ant Bauereisen in regard to dynamite, and that the latter had given him the money tc
 buy the explosive. Goding, another of the
 defendants, was present at the time. Wit ness then related how he went to Chicago
 and, failing to purchase dynamite there, went to Noblesville, Ind, where he secured some, which he brought to Chicago and showed to Chairman Hoge. He also met Bauereisen at Chicago, who instructed him to % anywhere west Witnos,
