FILTRATION AND DYNAMITE.


 Smith Tells Ills story of the Plot.
 Bowles Scared by His Position.
 CHICAGO, July 17-It was fear of jeal- ous wife that broke Engineer Bowles' nerve and led him to turn informer against his fellow prisoners in the Burlington dynamite case. A few weeks ago Mir Bowles made several trips to the ucighborhood of Nobkes- vile, Ind, for tho alleged purpose of buying dynamite. On of these trips he got acquainted with q very pretty girl who lived between Noblesville and Wess- field. He pursued the acquaintance with some ardor, and is supposed he repre- sented himself as an unmarried man. The detectives who were at work upon the case discovered his attentions to the pretty girl and promptly subpnnaed her. They ex- pected her to help prove Bowles' visits to the Nobesville region and their purpose. Without his knowledge she was brought to Chicago Friday and taken to the court room. When the witnesses for the prosecution were asked to stand up she rose with them. When Bowles' eyes fell upon the girl he started and turned very pale. He has a wife and two children In Aurora Mrs Bowles is said to be of a some what jealous disposition. At the very first opportunity Mir. Bowles intimated that he was willing to make clean breast so far as he was concerned, and now it Is understood that the young woman'S testimony will not be used
 There were great sensations in court yesterday, but the unfolding of the prosecu- tion was very interesting to the big crowd that jammed itself into the room. 1nformer Smith told his story. It bore out the open ing statement of the district attorney ill the minutest particulars. MT. Smith was no such l., and complacent, but nothing in the world could get him to look at the prisoners bench. He came into court early and sat with the attorneys for the prosecution.
 The counsel for the defense took the first hand in the case by trying to get all the tes- tmony given by Informer Kelly and In- former McGilvray stricken out, because it related only to Bowles, and Bowles was no longer a defendant. This struck the prose- cution all in heap The object was clearly to better the situation of things for Chair man Hoge. Commissioner Hoyne did not know exactly what to do. Finally he said he would havo to let the motion rest until he could look up the authorities, and the in- vestgation went on.
 After Kelly had been recalled and cross examined again, without much profit, Smith, the big witness of the day, took the stand. He is about 26 years old, smooth shaven, square headed and good looking, except for long, jagged the side of his head He cooly fixed himself ill q comfortable po- sition, leaned back ill his chair, and said that he had been fireman on the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy railroad, but had done work since the strike began
 What have you done since?n"
 ''l have drawn my pay from the Brother hood for keeping idle"
 He said he knew all the defendants in the case. When he first met Bowles ''there was 0 lot of 'em around talking, and Bowles was then talking about what they would do There was .san to be hung and such stuff Then Bauereisen told 'o,n to go up in the hall and stop making fools of themselves"
 He told how few nights afterwards Bowles and he got q buggy and put dyna- mite on tho track near Eola. It was the first time he had seen dynamite, he said Bowles had some sticks of it and some caps. Mir. David objected to evidence as to con- versation between Smith and Bowles, but the court overruled tho objection. Then Mir. David made another scunq,

Before he went away Bowles told me he would have some sticks of dynamite for me to use I went to tue hotel and found g package containing cartridge and oapa II saw Bauereisen tho day of the picnic and he told me to give scare tonight and I said would bauerdssn gave me money to go and get horse and buggy"
 t'Did Bauereisen say anything about dyna miteP'
 ''He told me to put it on the track and
 did so. Next day Bauereisen asked me if had been out the night before said had and he said he thought so; be had heard som
 noise.
 "On July met Bowles later in the da,
 at the Brotherhood hall. He told me to fint

 God .g gave me an order to his wife to eiv me the dynamite She gave me some and
 brought it to Bowles. Later in the day, 8
 the suggestion of Baueresen, Broderick an, , Wilson, Goding went with me to his hous
 and got some dynamite. I took four piece , to the Brotherhood hall and consulted wit l Broderick, Bauereisen and Bowles abou l using it against the road"
 Smith identified the paper and string witt E which the dynamite he had given Bowles wa , wrapped up. On cross examination he de { veloped tendency to be fippant at Mr David's expense. Most of the questions wer $ answered with quick ''That's what" am , there was good deal of clumsy wit on bot

 . Bowles has not stirred from the marshall !. office since Saturday p,orning, except to visi MT. Ewing.
 n A new turn in the case Is likely to be take - by the prosecution before Wednesday. As e cording to the statute under which the dc S fendants were arrested the extreme punish q ment is a fine of $l0,0oJ and as none of tn S men have any property they can schedule ou
 of jail under the poor debtors law at the en
 of thirty days There is, however, anothe
 statute under which they can be indicted l which provides for an imprisonment of nc v less than two years, well a fine. Tn O charge under this statute would be consp f racy, and it is understood that a complain @ has already been filed under it's provisions. | Man and n Mule Caused a Tragedy DANv1LLE, Va, July TIA bloody traged is reported here from Acton, Henry county
