A CHICAGO PLOT.
A Plot Between the Police and One OF
the Anarchist Leaders.

The socialist and anarchist societies in Chi
cago have been wrought up to high pitch of
excitement over the possession Of what the
members believe TO be absolute proof Of The
existence Of q huge police conspiracy against
them. The spy was Henry Danmsyer, a man
who since 1888 has been one Of the most astuts
and aggressive anarchists in the city; has been
leader in the arbeiter bund, president Of the
free thinking organization and an organizer Of
the Karl Marx assembly and several others,
and has advocated the murder Of Judge Gary
and Grinnell and Bon6eld He induced others
to echo his sentiments and then reported them
to the police and caused all except himself 10
be put under sharp espionage.
For all this treachery Danmayer received
only go month, paid by Nordrum, TO whom he
gave credit These receipts as well as the re-
ports are said TO be now in the hands Of the
socialist leaders The effect Of the publication
of Nordrum's statement has been 20 create Q
decided sensation in the police department
Superintendent Marsh promptly issued q
special order yesterday suspending Nordrum
pending investigation OF his alleged treachery
TO the department and the superintendent says
Nordrum viii be promptly dismissed on vsGi-
ication Of the charges against him.
