AN AWFUL VOLCANIC ERUPTION
A DEFECTIVE IN THEIR MIDST

The Brotherhood Treated 60 2 Sensa- tiSn fn she Conspiracy Trial. CHICAGO, July 1S.-Another sensation was sprung upon the defense in the tfQ" dyna- mite case this morning. John Wilson, one of the prisoners, who was arrested with Brod- erick and Bowles es an e-ch-conspirator and as 8 brotherhood engineer, cooly lett his seat in the group of which Broderick aud Baurei- sen were members and walked over to the side of the room where the prosecuting att tor1eYs sat and took 8 chair beside Mir. Dawes, with whom he began to chat in e friendly manner. Then it was developed that Wilson was not an engineer nor a brotherhood man and not even Wilson, His name is John Mulligan and he is a Pinkerton detective, and not only is this the cese, but it appears that he has had the confidence of all the prisoners and their attorneys.
 Superintendent McGinn testified in regard to the arrest of Broderick and then Bowles, the brotherhood engineer who has turned in former, was called. He began by telling of a secret meeting of the brotherhood in Auro- ra. He said: Chief Baureisen made 8 state~ ment that we should do something as the company was getting ahead of us. He said it would not do for him to do anything in regard to tho use of dynamite, but it could be used with good effect. After the meeting some conversation passed between us and I made the statement that I knew how to use it; that had seen it used in the gravel pit He wanted to know if I could get any and I told him thought could. He told me to go and get it. He gave me ST. 50. That was two weeks after YVES initiated. Gcding, one of the defendants, was among those at the meeting. The informer told of his expeditions to Indiana country towns to purchase dynamite D. |. George Clark of Galesburg, leading engi- neer, who was arrested yesterday. They went out together to place it on the track and 1t was some of the dynamite that Bowles buried and was dug up yesterday. Telling of his talking with Baureisen about the ex- plosion on the e." track near Aurora, wit ness said that Baureisen said it would have good effect. "He told me-" continued the witness, s'that in certain part of the town there was frame house and that under it was sewer running into the street. The house was scab boarding house and was filled with 'Q.' scabs. Bsureisen wanted Alec Smith and me to get under the house by the sewer and place a bomb there and blow up the house. told him that would be murder and that l would not do it." The witness further implicated in the con- spiracy George Clark, the stiiKer who was arrested at Galesburg yesterday, by telling of 6 letter from Baureisen in which the latter said that George Clark wanted some of the "goods" (dynamite) for him (Bowles) to hurry up and give some ''goods'' to Clark. The witness thereuron bought two pounds of dy namite and gave it to Clark. He received another letter from Baureisen telling him to hurry up with the s'gcods'' to Creston, Ia., where they were needed. He then went to Creston and delivered four pounds of dyns- mits to Frederick. Continuing he said he received the following letter from Baureisen:
 June 2r, 1888
 D. s. and Eff you thirk that that man you sroke of is watching you don't do anything that world make you suspicious think you could give the next town and r. should follow you shoot him, for would not have any nercy on any = you had better go home or look for situation and give up the jobbnR businc-z. I wish you would let Ra e o vs you gou to Karsas City. But told him that did not F1ow which you can guess. Yor-s, fraterr"ny,
 Bowles could not swear that the latter was in Bauereisen's handwriting, brt from the fact that they had coTfasponded about the matters mentioned he wss satisfied of it's authenticity. Bowles was allowed also to explain the contents of letter received by him from Bauersisen at Noblesville, enclos- ing money and the instruction to "take plenty of goods at Creston." By fgoods' he said dynamite was meeat Under cross-ex- ou1AuhbAOu DOWAcs aOn1ttcu iuht Ao Aat0 tO4O both authorities while in the county jail that he was an innocent man, that he did not know anything of the use of dynamite and that he had liedi repeatedly to them and to others as to his innocence and about other matters. "But," he added, naively, {" I wcs not on oath then" His confession, he claimed, was not induced by any promise of immunity or other reward. He was guilty and could not expect to escape, though he was led into guilt by "bad, unprincip1ed men,"
 His direct examination was not shaken on any material point, and when the cross-ex- animation was concluded the State rested it's case. CouIS was then adjourned until to- morrow.
