CHICAGO, July 19.-TrAnk Chlebun,
the brown-hAtted, blue-eyeI, sweet
voiced hend, who with John Hronek
aud FreBk OhepAk, schemed to murder
Judge Gary, judge Grinnell and In
spector Bonheld, has made . fall and
complete confession. Chlebun was not
locked up At the armoIy yesterday, as
were the other two, and when ChepRk
was sent to the Central Station and
Htonsk to jail, Ohlebun wRs sent to an
outlying police station. He Was not
subjected, 10 were tae others, to the
ordeal Of having his picture taken for
the rUgues' gallery.
Last night inspector BonAeld, accom-
panied by two Of his Bohemian secret
service operators, clad in working
mems salts, with soft black has and
blne flannel hhirts, visited the innocent
looking prisoner. The preceding day
he had intlmAted that he Wss ready TO
tell oil he knew, and laAt evening the
Inspector went 70 hear his story.
Through the interpreters Chlebun went
into the whole story from his arst meet
Ing with Hronek and OhepAk. His
confession was that Hronek had unfold
ed his plan for revenge, and had told Of
bomb which he (Hronek) had in
vented.
1t Was small, no longer than @ base
bali, and v as 10 bo loaded with dynA-
mite Snd bits Of broken RlaBs. It was
denied by Ohlebun that the plot Was to
murder the Judges and inspector; that
is, he heard OF no Euoh definite scheme.

and he understood that he was TO pay
more attention to the captain than to
any one else. There was no concerted
plaa OF Aotisn, but 1t was agreed that
when all preparations were made he
and two others were to be informed by
Hronek Just what they ware to do IN
the wsy Of Avsngins iha death Of the
martyrs.
About July 1st he WAS visited by
Hronek, wh5 brought him two bombs
Of the broken glars variety End two
sticks of dynamite from which he was
to make bombs of gas pipe after the
usual pattern. Tho other two men were
also supplied with bombs and dynH-
mite. He had the staff in the house
for week, and then grew 90 afraid
that 1t would be discovered that he
made away vita 1t by throwing 1t In q
prlvy vault.
This wss the substance Of the confes.
sion which Inspector Bonfeld to-day
plsced In the hands OF q type writer
operator forlthe purpose of having put
In shape for use In court. The confess
Bion Is much more In 6etRll, End Govern
about 30 closely printed pEgss By hts
confession IL is understood Ohebun has
virtually secured immunity from prose
cutlou, he is In reality much less
guilty than either Hronek, ChepAE or
one OF the men not yet arrested. He
has agreed to give his testimony In open
court, whore he will corroboraBe the
other evidence eeeured by the Inspector
against she Conspira:ors.
The other two men are still at large,
bat may be arrested at any time.
