CHICAGO, July l8-.-Anarchy has again
reared its hydrarhead in Chicago A
plot has been discovered which is appall-
ing in its magnitude and >terrorizing in
details, contemplating no less disaster
than the blowing up Of the board of
trade, the court house, newspaper offices
and other public buildings by means Of
dynamite, the assassination of citizens in
exalted official capacities, including
Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell. Inspector
Bonfield and many others. Three Of the
arch -conspirators have already been ar
rested and are now confined within. the
walls Of the Jail where their predecessors
were executed.
The concoctors of the stupendous con-
spiracy were none other than the friends
and companions Of the dead anarchists,
Spies, Parsons, Engel and Fischer.
These persons have been closely and un-
tiringly shadowed ever since the execu-
tion-in fact since the first arrests were
made in the anarchist cases. Follow
!. ing up the clues, the police
have discovered and seized quantity
Of dynamite sufficient to blow up the
entire city Of Chicago. Detectives Nord-
rung, Rohan and Martin were notified
by Inspector Ronfield to meet him at.
Central station at 2 O'Clock 9. m. The
men were there and after they had
donned DISCUSSES they, in company with
Bonfeld and Elliott proceeded to the
force was on hand. They waited for or
ders. The inspector and his men pro
ceeded to the corner Of Thirty third
street and Ashland avenue near where
one Of the leading conspirators resided.
The, house was closely watched. The in
spector expected to find q dozen
Or more anarchists at the house,
but his information on that
point proved incorrect, as only two
men were found. One of the suspected
men came from the house just before day
light, and was quietly taken into GUS
tody. The officers entered the dwelling
and another conspirator was found. I'm
der his pillow was knife and q revolver,
4 and upon searching the room twelve
sticks Of dynamite, enough to blow up
the Grand Pacific hotel and Board of
trade, were found in Q closet. The OFF,
GERS next visited house on Quinn street,
\ and another Of. the suspected was ar
rested and taken to the Deering street
station, and from there all three were
brought down town to the city hall. A
large quantity Of dynamite was also
found in the house on Quinn street.
The men arrested were prominent an
archists during the trial. One OF them
{ was under arrest soon after the explo-
i sion 0f the bomb at Haymarket, but was
subsequently released. Inspector Bon
6eld says that the plot was well
arranged one. About twenty determined
murderers were In the conspiracy and
they were at certain hour after mid
night next, to be at the homes Of Grin
nell. Gary, Bonfleld, Frank Walker, Gen.
Stiles, and others prominent In the pros
ecution. Dynamite was to be placed
beneath the houses of these and the pow
erful explosive was to be touched off sim
ultaneously and q wholesale reign OF
terror inaugurated. The board of
trade was to be blown TO the sky at
the Same time. This was the plot in detail.
Further arrests will probably bring to light
an even greater. anticipated horror In
spectr Bonfleld said his men know who
the conspirators are, and additional ar
4 rests will be made. The police observe
the strictest secrecy in the matter, but
1 Inspector Bonfield was finally induced to
say to Press News reporter:
Judges Grinnell and Gary were to be
blown up by these fellows. We have been
aware OF this diabolical plot for some
time and think there will be another
wholesale hanging. The explosion at
the Haymarket could not be compared to
this. Hundreds OF lives would certainly
hays been sacrificed had not we discov
cred it. =
