SoHN HHONEks ALIAS NUMBER ONE
OF the instigators Of the Newmarket riot
that Chicago would not be troubled for a while
with the dull-brained and blood thirsty Villains
who prey uEon their victims unawares. The cit
nens 81 Chicago have lived In comparative
peace, but to read of another conspiracy adds
fresh horror. As the news OF the arrests pissed
from mouth to mouth on tho streets It WIS re-
eeived with greatest surprise. Considerable
dynamite, knives, and other destructive weapons
were found In possession Of the trio, but tho
form of destruction had not been determined.
That part Of the plot, SO far us tho three men
whose blood they desired was concerned, seems
TO have been left to circumstances. The man.
ner Of death might be a thrust from knife, a
bullet from pistol, or the explosion Of adynsnl-
Anarchy was not killed when its chiefs were
executed. 1t was not even scotched. Shortly
large groups of the International disbanded
Their members gave public notice that the an.
archists were disorganized. They united in quito
a Inherent manner on q much more dangerous
plan They organized in small groups In most
instances three sworn friends and determined
anarchists constituted n group. No one outside
the group. and the opportunities for detection
were reduced to u minimum. Each anarchist
knew bis fellow members and 1t became next to
impossible Tor detective to get into group.
The anarchists also proposed to operate on
different plan. No wholesale murders like the
Haynarket massacre were to be attempted.
~, n . selected e their victims and ARRANGED to
men tender hearted in desperate deeds saved
Judge Grinnell's life and kept Judge Gary and
Capt. Bonfeld from assassination.
In tho group arrested were John Hronex Of
1852 Farrell street Frank Chapsk 49S Twentieth
street; and a man named Frank Chebowa, living
on lions place, short street between Eigh-
teenth and Nineteenth streets, running from
Ihroop to Loomis. John Hronek is one of the
daredevil Lingg type, . relentlessly vicious an
afchfst and notoriety seeker. He was No. LOT
the group, and the evil spirit of it, He has
boastei that he was at tho Haymarket riot and
that he was ono OF the anarchists who sought
TO destroy the police the night OF Nav
4: Among his anarchist friends he has declared
that he was supported by the anarchist organi-
Nations. Until recently he has been unemployed,
except in desultory manner His occupation
the last week or two for the purpose, ms he has
said, OF averting suspicion and Of proving an
alibi should he be suspected OF the murders he
had planned The two others were drawn into
his plans by Hronek's vehement and persistent
talk Of vengeance.
Hronek said, that the cause Of anarchy de-
manded the lives Of Judge Grinnell, who as
Prosecuting Attorney convicted tho eight an
archists; Judge Gary who tried and sem
fenced them; and Inspector John Bonfield who
worked up the cases against them. They agreed
to kill these men in the order named. lirinnell
was 70 be assassinated first, Gary next, and
the third sacrifice to their vengeance was
to be Capt. Bonfeld. The methods of dis
posing OF their victims were freely canvassed
but the minuter details have not yet been devel-
oped.
After deciding upon the general plan Of their
murderous campaign the conspirators began to
arrange its details On July they visited Al
dine Square, the pretty park on which Mr. Grin
nelfs house fronts, and observed the location.
They discussed the question as to whether it
would be better to place dynamite bomb under
the house or to execute the deed with revolver.
