BowIes Discloses Some Hidden Dynamite
r p Two More Arrests. N
CHICAGO, July 16-The Burlington con-
spiracy case seems to be full of sensations
and surprises, and the latest of these took
place Saturday, accompanied with highly
exciting scene in court. The developments
of Friday which fixed upon Bowles the pur-
chase of dynamite seem to have had weak
ening effect upon him, and there were some
proceedings before court opened that proba-
bly, made counsel for the defense uneasy.
The three prisoners--Bowles, Wilson and
Broderick-were taken before Commissioner
Hoyhe Saturday at a. m, and the two lat
ter took their places by their counsel, but
Bowles walked into the room with the rail-
way counsel and took seat apart. He had
just been having an interview with the rail-
way people, and it was evident that he had
broken down during the same, as there were
tears in his eyes as he sat down, resting his
head on the back of chair.
There was an exciting scene in court soon
after the opening of the case Bowles arose
and said that he would confess his share in
the plot. In q very dramatic manner he
declared that his statements would be made
in the interest of public justice He was
excited and the tears flowed from his eyes
case adjourned to Monday at 10 o'clock.
Bowles was taken to Marshal Marsh's after
ward and released on s., 900 bail by Commits
sioner Hoyne.
A defiant smile was on Broderick's lips as
he walked back to the narsbal's office in the
custody of Marshal Barchard. He looked at
Bowles, who passed him in charge of another
man, with a look of mingled pity and con-
tempt. 4o eII-.q. .tr..t
Barcbard and Detective Bonfield had
long talk with Broderick in the marshal's
office, but the big engineer kept up his SMILE
Frederick is the nerviest man in the affair.
1t was rlinored around the building that
a number of other arrests would be made on
United States warrants, among them being
Hoge and Murphy. After adjournment the
engineers who had listened to the case gath
cred in little knots in the corridors and dis.
cussed the affair." y ~" 90. ttl't 8
When the cases of Stewart f.. Hoge end
John H. Murphy, charged with conspiracy,
were called before Justice ID. j. Lyon, Judge
Barnum stepped forward and said: "If it
please the court, in the case of the people
against Hoge and Murphy, appear for the
defendants. / was not called into the case
until night before last, and have not had an
opportunity to see my clients. / ask that
the case be postponed" -
Mr.. Frank Collier, who appeared for the
prosecution, said he had no objections to
continuance, as some of the witnesses in the
case were before Commissioner Hoyne. A
continuance was granted and the hearing
was set for next Saturday morning.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-Bowles, the "sqIeal-
ing" conspirator against tho 40" road was
taken TO Ga,esburg yesterday to test tho
truth of n statement he had made that a
dynamite cartridge that had failed to explode
when placed on tho track at that place had
been hidden near hedge close by. A large
crowd of officers and citizens went TO the
place and found tho explosive as Bowles had
described. IL was fixed up with caps, ETC.,
for business.
Immediately afterward the sheriff arrested
George Clark and George Miles, ex-engineers
of the "Q' road and prominent brotherhood
men, on state warrants. They denied their
guilt. tr
AT Quincy, Ills, several striking firemen,
charged with conspiracy, were arraigned. The
evidence was not strong, but "saueal" is
looked for. The case was continued
