Chicago, July 25.-Rudolph Sevic, gunsmith
was arrested before daylight this morning He
is charged with selling dynamite 10 the anarchist
conspirators lie acknowledges that he has been
Illegally dealing in dynamite and that be has sold
over fifty pounds of the explosive to various per-
sons within year. He Will only admit having
sold ten pounds to persons in Chicago. Inspector
Bonicsd says he has proof that the ten pounds if
not more went TO IIronclS Chapek and Chlcboun.
II is known hat Sevic bought on May 90 from the
American Powder Company. in Chicago, twenty
five pounds Of dynamite. On June he purchased
twenty-five pounds more. which he claims to have
sold to a farmer in Minnesota, but is IN
able to give his name or to locate
him. Inspector Bonfeld is positive that
Sevic was in league with the three dynamiters
arrested few days ago. and sold them the explo-
sive with which they expected to destroy Judges
Grinnell and Gary. Sevic is a Bohemian, %
years of age, and of Intelligent appearance.
Inspector Bonfch last night also captured several

the invention Of IIroncll and their manufacture
by practical gunsmth goes for to show deep

many more of the bombs are in existence, as there
is no other probable theory to explain the OF
