was sprung upon the defense in the
90" dynamite case this morning, John
Wilson, one OF the prisoners, who was
arrested with Broderick and Bowles, is
an arch-conspirator, and as a Brother
hood engineer coolly left his seat in the
group Of which Broderick and Bauerism
were members and walked over to the
side Of the room where the prosecuting
attorneys sat and took chair beside
Mr.. Dawes, with whom he began to chat
in u friendly manner. Then it was de-
veloped that Wilson was not an engi'
neer-not Brotherhood man, and not
even Wilson. His name is John Multi
gan and he is Pinkerton detective.
Captain John G. McGinn, of the Pink
erton Agency, was the first witness call
ed. The parcel OF dynamite said to have
been found in the possession Of the pris-
oncrs in the passenger coach while they
were on the train for Chicago, was again
brought into court.
Captain McGinn narrated how the dy.
Mantle was discovered. He saw thunder
the arm OF Broderick, on the platform at
Aurora. 81 saw him, he stated, "place
the package in hat rack in the smok-
ing car. Wilson and another man were
with him. Bowles shortly aiterward
came in and took seat opposite Brod-
erick. After saw him enter went
back and got one OF my operatives and
we entered the car where the men were.
U. S. Deputy Burchard had a warrant in
his pocket to arrest Broderick. This oc-
CURED on the 2:05 train leaving Aurora
for Chicago on the 9th Of July"
The Illuminating caps found on the
person OF Broderick were produced dur
ing McGinns examination and offered
in evidence.
Attorneys David and Donahue for the
defense scored point when they estab-
lished the fact that the warrant for the
the crime was committed. A profound
sensation was created by the following
revelation: "Do you know Wilson p
asked Attorney Donahoe. McGinn Wis
IDLY trembled and delay OF nearly five
minutes followed before he answered
the question. He finally acknowledged
that Wilson, one OF the conspirators, So
called, was in the employ OF the Pinker-
ton agency.
"Are there any other OF the defend
ants in the employ. OF your agency?"
asked Mr.. Donahoe. At this question
the witness smiled and said: "No."
At this point District Attorney Ewing
capped the climax OF astonishment per-
vading the court by stating that Wilson
waived examination, and that the charge
against him was dismissed.
The attorneys for the defense, how
ever, demanded that he should not be
permitted to leave the court, and asked
whether he was to be examined as q
witness. From this moment the pro.
ceedings were ofan intensely sensational
character.
"Why didn't you arrest the fourth

away?" asked Attorney Donahoe.

"Why? Isn't Mulligan the man vii.

eyes" responded Capt. McGinn.
"And you actually assign this before
the court and before the world as your
reason for permitting the fourth man to
get away?"

reply.

in the carp"

At 1910 o'clock Inspector Bonfeld
was called to the stand by Attorney
Ewing. He described the tests Of part
OF the dynamite taken from the package
found on the train, which he had made
in company with the United States OH
Cials. He was not cross.examined.
+. G. Rice, Superintendent OF the llli
nois division OF the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, said that he saw BrodericG
with package under his arm July 8
and saw him get on board the train witt
it. Upon the conclusion OF his direct
evidence the court adjourned until p
