Fresh Developments in the New Con-
spiracy Sensational Evidence.
CHICAGO, July IS. = Mrs. Albert B.
Parsons, wife of the executed anarchist,
was seen last night by reporter. She
was told of the arrests and asked if she
knew anything about the matter. She
became highly excited and stated that if
there was any conspiracy it had been
Matched up by the police. "They have lot
murdered any anarchists" she said, "since
November last, and they were thirsting
for more blood. l don't believe there was
conspiracy only in the deviish imagi-
nation of Bonfield and his minions." She
grew more excited as she went on, and
tiaally said: eff Grinnell and Gary are
not killed very soon will kill them
myself, and you can rest assured will not
make botch of it,"
Pointing to her 1O-year. old son she
continued:
"What do you suppose | am raising him
for? 1 shall teach him that his father
was murdered and by whom, and those
red Ghpnded butchers had better look out >"
ANOTHER DYNAMITER ARRESTED.

THE LINE OF PROSECUTION.
CAIcAGo, July 1S.-The course to be
pursued in prosecuting the would-be
assassins of Grinnell, Gary and Bone
field was decided upon this morn
ing. 1t was semi-oflicially an
nounced that the anarchist
trio shall be taken before a justice and the
cases continued for ten days. That would
give an opportunity of presenting the
murderous conspiracy with the least pos
sible delay to the grand jury, which as
sembles Monday. A speedy indictment
and trial are hoped for. The object is to
make a lesson of justice SO strikiugly
quick, if possible, as to make its in
fuence doubly effective.
The prisoners were brought into court
as arranged, and, after brief statement

THURMAN INVITED
To Attend the North Georgia and Alabama
Exposition in October.

L
Exposition in October.
COLUMBUS, o., July 10.-A special COM
mittee, representing the North Georgia
and Alabama exposition, to take place
the first week in October, consisting of
Col. W. A. Walton, secretary of the expo
sition; John Temple Graves, editor of the
Rome Tribune, and G. H. Miller, called on
Judge Thurman to day and extended a
formal and most hearty invitation on
behalf of the exposition committee and
people to attend the opening.
Judge Thurman expressed doubts at
first as to his ability to be present, owing
to the fact that about that time he would
be engaged in the argument of the tele-
phone cases in the supreme court at
Washington.
The committee, however, reminded him
that the exposition would last about two
weeks, and that he could select any date.
Although receiving no definite promise
the committee feel assured they will be
able to secure the presence of Judge
Thurman some time during the exposi-
ton,

ANOTHER SENSATION.


CHICAGO, July 1S.-Another sensation
was sprung upon the defense in the
dynamite cases. this morning. John
Wilson, one of the prisoners who was
arrested with Broderick and Bowles as an
arch-conspirator and member of the
Brotherhood, cody left his sea5 in the
group of which Broderick and Bouerisen
were members aud walked over to the side
of the room where the prosecuting at
torney sat and took a chair beside Mr..
Danes, with whom he began to chat IN a
friendly manner. Then 1t was developed
that Wilson Yves not an engineer nor
Brotherhood man, and not even Wilson.
His name is John Mulligan and he is a
Pinkerton detective, and not only is this
the case, but it appears he has had the
confidence of all the prisoners and their
attorneys.
CROCODILE TEARS.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-Chapek and Pronek
we're taken and locked up down stairs,
while Chebowa was taken to the Central
station. The two former were seen by a
reporter. Pronek, ths Lingg Of the
party, is little fellow probably not more
than feet, 3 inches high. He took his i'm
prisonment good naturedly and laughed
as he greeted the reporter by drawing his
foretinger across his throat and pointing
upward with the other hand.
"Iou are pretty merry. Don't you
know the serious charges against your"
"No."
You are accused of conniving to blow
up Judges Grinnell and Gary and Inspec-
tor Bonfeld."
ut is a lie, pack of lies"
"But you had dynamite"
"That was lett with me by friend,
named Karafiat, just after Haymarktt.
He had to leave town, and he put the stuff
in my house. 1 knew nothing of it, and
threw lot of it in the river. 1 had no
chance to dispose of the balance in the
same way for was afraid would meet a
policeman, and he would arrest me-"
"There wes no conspiracy
mo"
"Do you know Chapek and Chebowa?"
''Yes, know them, but Chebowa is not
his name. tits Frank Cheblon. 1 don't
like him too much"
,"Did you not walk with them to Aldine
square on July AZ"
II did not. We walked only in the
Sixth ward"
"Then the bombs were not to be used?'
"Not by me; would be glad if they
were in the river"
Chapek, another of the prisoners,
said:
81 know of no conspiracy; think there
was none; such things are all foolishness
now, and think it will all prove a mis
take, a borrid mistake for me; have a
wife and eight children and 1 don't even
know clearly why was arrested"
The charge was explained. "The same
old thipgp sad Chapek, and his eyes
filled with tears, "and am selected as the
victim. Well, am ready to die if need
be, but my poor wife, my poor children,"
and Chapek turned away to hide the fast
flowing tears and choke his sobs.

PROBABLY A "MULHATToN"
A Waterspout Said to Have Struck st.
Augustine, Fla.

SF. AUGUSTINE, Fla, July 18.-Late yes
terday afternoon some boatmen observed
large waterspout in the ocean opposite
the north beach. An hour later it crossed
the beach into the bay. 1t came directly
towards the town. People on the bay
we're badly frightened and deserted their
houses, and hundreds sought safety
in flight. The waterspout, though some
what diminished, struck the steamer
Spring Garden, moored by the sea wall,
and tore the upper works and smoke
stake away, smashed in the roof and win
dows of Perpall's bar, and crushed in the
side of an outhouse. 1t then crossed the
town, going southwest, and sunk score
of boats in the river. After the spout
crossed the city rain fell in torrente.
When the Spring Garden was struck she
was carried in the air twenty-five feet.

THE ooNsp1RAToRs BOUND OVER.

CHICAGO, July 19.-After an earnest ad-
dress by each of the two lawyers for de-
fense, Commissioner Hayne said the
prosecution has presented good probable
case against the prisoners, and should
not be performing my DUTY unless l re-
ferred the charges against all the prison
ers to the grand jury. 1t is
for the grand jury to pass upon
the mems guilt or innocence. The court
ordered that the amount of bail should re-
main as already fixed at $4,000 apiece.
Efforts to exempt Engineer Godding from
being held over wsre Intellectual, as were
also atttmpts to have his bail reduced.
The argument of the defense was that
there had been practically no evidence
against Goddiug. Among the spectators
who witnessed the conclusion of the trial
was Assistant POstmaster-general Steven
son. Three prisoners-Broderick, Bauer
esn and Godding were not allowed their
liberty on bail All three we're rearrested
before moving step. State warrants
were used, the charge being bringing
dynamite into the state of Illinois con-
trary to law.
FROM THE BROTHERHOOD sTANDPoINT.
CHICAGO, July ia member of one of
the grievance committees, now in session
here, said to-day that very little was done
yesterday except receiving testimony
which has been gathered relative to the
dynamite conspiracy.
"The testimony is not all in," said W.
W. Wusky, chairman of the Chicago and
Alton committee, "but we have enough to
show that Bowles, Broderick, Wilson and
Smith are all Pinkerton men. Pinkerton
has had men in our organization for years,
and they are getting in their work. We
have also learned that not an
ounce of dynamite has been
exploded on the Burlington track.
"How do we know? We have men who
know the effects of dynamite; men who
have seen an engine blown all to pieces
by few ounces of dynamite in the city
of Denver during the celebrated Denver
and Rio Grande strike. One result OF
this meeting will be full and free inves-
tigation OF the alleged dynamite con-
spiracy If any of our members are
guilty they will be turned over TO the
authorities. We shall protect the integ-
rity of our organization from enemies
without and foes within"
