ANARCHY NOT DEAD.


bic In IL conception and purpose than that !
which eliminated la the lEaymalkct massa-
ere. Three men have 80 far been arrested
and large quantity Of dynamite captured. |
The police claim 10 have evidence that the
dynamite was 10 have been used TO blow up
the board Of trade and other public build
ings and the homes Of all persons prominent
W connected with the trial and conviction OF
Parsons, Spies, Engel, Lingg. and Fischer
They have proof, they say. that the men ar
rested, or their confedcTates, have already
made one or two attempts 10 carry their
plans or some Of them into execution.
As sequel to the anarchist prosecutions
three men were arrested Tuesday for con-
spring 10 murder the public prosecutors.
One Of the men was at the Haymarket tho
night the bomb exploded, and IN his subse-
qtIent boast il true John Hronek ought 10
have hanged with the other four anarchists
last November.
Anarchy was not killed when its chiefs
were executed. IL was not even scotchcd.
shortly after the first conspirators was con-
sicted the large groups OF the international
dsbandcd. Their members gave public
notice tnat the anarchists were disorganized.
They united In quite different manner on a
much more dangerous plan. They organized
in small groups. In most instances three
sworn friends aud determined anarchists con-
stituted a group. No one outside the trio
was made acquainted with the plans OF the
group aud the opportunities for detection
were reduced 10 minimum. Each anarch-
1T knew his felow-members and IL became
next 20 impossible for detective 10 get into
group.
The anarchists also proposed TO operate on
different plan. No wholesale murders like
the lfaymarkct massacre were 10 be attempt
cd. They selected their victims and arranged
TO Kill them singly.' The conscience that
makes men tcndcr-hcarted In desperate deeds
saved Judge Grinnclfs lifo last Saturday
night and kept Judge Gary and Capt. Bon
field from assassination later on.
In the group arrested were John Hronck
Frank Chapek, and man named Frank
| Chebowa. John Hronek il OF the daredevil
| Lpgg type, n rclentlessly vicious anarchist
and a notoriety seeker. He was No. OF the
group, aud the evil spirit 81 II. lie las
boosted that he was at the Haymarkct riot
| and that he was one OF the anarchists who
sought 20 destroy the police on the night OF
May 4. Among his anarchist friends he has
declared that he was supported by the am
archist organizations. Until recently he has
been unemployed except In desultory man
ncr. His occupation ~ a wood-worker has
been prosecuted within the last week or two
Tor the purpose OF avertlng suspicion ana OF
| proving an abb should he be suspected OF
the murders he had planned. The two
others were drawn into his plans by lironck's
vehement and persistent talk OF vengeance.
| Hronck sald that the cause of Anarchy de-
manded the lives OF Judge Grinncl who as
prosecuting attorney convicted the eight an
l "
ed them, and Inspector John Bonhcld, who
worked up the case against them. They
| agreed To Kill these men in the order named.
After deciding upon the general plan OF
| their murdcrous campaign the conspirators
| began To arrange its details, on July they
| visited Aldine square, the pretty park on
| which Mr.. Grinnelfs house fronts, and OBJ
served the location. They discussed the
| question as To whether il would be better 10

| years. and his countenance Indicate, too much
milk OF human kindness I'm his heart for cold
bloodcd, treachcrous murder. Until their
| plans had reached the fourth OF July point OF
| preparation Chcbowa had been carried along
! by the blood-thirsty impctuouslty Of lIronek.
Chcbowa said that IIronek's plan meant
murdcr--dcliberatc, dastardly assassination.
lie was shocked at the prospect. The con-
| spirators had arranged TO nssassinato Mr..
| Grinnell July I4-last Saturday evening.
| The mode OF the killing had not been decided,
| but either dynamite bomb was 10 be thrown
| into his bedroom or exploded beneath his
residence or he was 20 be enticed to the door
| and shot or stabbed TO death.
