[chicago special dispatch. ]

The three Bohemians arrested for the con-
spiracy to murder Grinnel Gary, and Bonheld
were arraigned before Justice Lyon who con-
tinued their case ten days. No more arrests
have been made but It is believed that som
may be. There Is an impression that more than
three were gathered in the other day. Ii is
based ON the statement of James Heinik who
was arrested along with Hronek, but dis harged
later in the day: He Is carpenter by trade, and
lives at No. SIT West Twenty-irst street.
Hronek was his employee but he repudiates any
knowledge Of dynamite or anarchism.
Hronek, after being confined In prison, was in
terviewed by a Tribune reporter. When his
name called he rose 10 his feet, grinned
PLEASANTLY, and then drawing one finger across
his throat TO initiate moose, made a gesture
with his other hand toward the sky, at the same
time making a significant click with his lips.
After this pantomime he burst into a laugh
r, You are accused OF making I, plot to blow mp
field with dynamite"
He shrugged his shoulders. scowled, and ex-
claimed: 1T is lie, pack of lies"
"No."
"How about the dynamite2'
"knrahat, n friend Of mine, had that when the
Haymarket raid was made by the police. He
brought IL to my house and left IL there, as he
had to leave town in a hurry. 1t did not belong
10 me, and after keeping it Il while threw some
OF 1t into the river. While coming back met
policeman, and was afraid TO go for more for
fear should be arrested"
Then yoa had made no plotY
"No."
what were you doing near Grinnell's house In
Aldfne Square the Fourth of Juy?"
Lies again; 1 was not there. 1 wax only
near my home.'
What wei Q the bombs forP"
Not for us by me. / wish them I'm the river"
do you know Chapek and Chleboun?'
"Yes do know them. l like n ( Chleboun
too much"
Are you not afraid2"
The prisoner expressed his Indifference in em-
phatic pantomime, and the conversation ended
as It began, with a shrug and gante aside.
Chapek Is different type, and ma of much
more intelligence. His dress IL neat and his ap-
pearance not unprepossessing. He de-
cidedly nervous, and was pacing up and down
his cell and biting the end OF lis cigar M
smoked. His voice is soft and agreeable. He
said in effect:
Il don't know clearly why was arrested"
The charges made against him by the police
were explained.
~Ah, 1t is the same old char ge-anl / am
chosen as a victim. know not OF any plot"
Why do you say 'betray' il there plot?"
mo plot l will say no moro; all false, oil
false"
During the interview the prisoner grew much
excited. When he referred TO his wife and chill
dron his eyes filed with tears and he turned
away to hide his face. His manner whom deny
ing the existence of plot was emphatic and his
eyes flashed. Access TO Chleboun was denied by
the police.
Alter the hearing in court Chleboun, ths in
former, was carried off by Bonheld to undergo a
further application Of the pumping proct IS. and
Hronek and Chapek were taken to tho gallery
where they were photographed.
A description OF the two men was then taken
according to the Bertillon system.
