CHICAGO, July 14.-Bowles, the man
in the conspiracy against the Burlingl
ton road, against whom the testimony
given yesterday was most conclusive, to-
day made full confession of his share
in the conspiracy. He saw that in his
| case there was little hope of escape
from conviction, and early this morning
it was made known to District Attorney
Ewing that Bowles was ready to
'squeal." Arrangements were at once
made to take down his statement and
he was taken to Mr.. Ewing's office and
told all he knew. When. court opened
it was found that Bowles, did not sit
with the other defendants, Bauereisen,
Broderick, Wilson and Cooling. United
States District Attorney Ewing stated
that the defendant Bowles desired ia
waive further examination. Thereupon
Mr.. Donahoe one of the attorneys for
all the defendants, including Bowles, up
to last night, said: "If the court please,
want to be heard" Commissioner
Hoyne said: 81 do not want to heat
you." Mr.. Donahoe retorted: "Ilhave
alright to be heard" The United Ststei
commissioner then replied: II want tS
hear Mr.. Bowles." Commissioner
Hoyne asked Bowles: ''Do you want
to waive examination in this casep"
Bowles replied: 81 do" Attorney
Dona hoe then arose and stated that this
morning, when we called at the
marShafs office to see our clients,

Marshal Marsh stepped up in nerv-
Gus manner to Mr.. David, and placing
| his hand on his shoulder, declared him
| under arrest. Mr.. David refused to 20
| with him, and asked the marshal to de-
| sist. At this point Mr.. Donahoe inter-
| posed, questioning the authority of
Commissioner Hoyne to order the COM
| mitment of his partner. Commissioner
Hoyne backed down, and said the ques-
| ton would be taken under conSidera-
| ton later as to whether any intended
| diSrespect was offered. Mr.. Ewing then
moved a continuance of the case until
| Monday, but before the motion was EN-
| tertained, Mr.. David arose and stated
| that he desired to explain his position:
''Since have been," said he. 'practic-
ing at the bar l have never had occasion
| to be challenged for a want of due re-

| of such actions on the part of the prose-

early, may have said that which
| might have be construed as having the
| complexion suggested by the commits

intention to invite the censure of the
| court"
The continuance until Monday morn
| that when the case is resumed the real
sensation will prove to be the revelation
| of the names Of the parties who engi-
neered the alleged dynamite plot and
placed the bombs in the passenger car.
After court had adjourned BowIes was
taken to Marshal Marsh's back room,
where he will be kept. He does not
want to get out on bail. He is afraid
his late associates, the ex-"Q' engi-
neers, will make it unpleasant for him.
A defiant smile was on Broderick's lips
as he walked back to the maFshal's
| Office in the custody of Marshal Bar
chard. He looked at Bowles. who
passed him in charge Of another man,

up his smile. Broderick is the nergiest

1t was rumored around the building
| that 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 gathered in little
| knots in the corridors and discussed the
| affair.
Another of the arrested men, Cooling,
| also concluded to come into camp, and
| all that he knows about the plot against
| the Burlington has been told to the dis

Hoge and Murphy, which were to have
| come up before Justice Lyon this morn
| ing were postponed, and for one week.
Bowles was closeted all afternoon In
| the marshars Office, and his confession
was being taken in detail up to O'Clock,
when there was pOstpOnement until
tomorrow morning. The confession is
being put into shape to be sworn to,
which will make'it more valuable in the
case against Hoge. Some valuable

| GALEsBURG. ILL.,, July 14.-Ralph
Lacy, committeeman of the striking
firemen, received last evening a mystic
| rious letter, signed "a Friend" and
begging Lacy to leave town at the earli-
est moment, saying that he had for
three weeks been closely watched by
| detectives, and that his conversations
/ were taken down. and these reports are
now in the hands of the United States
| marshal. The letter says that every
| hour is precious to Lacy, and that bis
| speedy arrest will follow unless he
| leaves. Lacy regards the letter, which
is written in a disguised hand, as
scare; says that he has done nothing,
