CHICAGO. May 2.
Wilhelm Worms was sorry that the
policemen's monument was not blown 10
atoms when the dynamite was placed there
the other night. He expressed his sorrow
in loud aud vigorous terms. His utter
ances caused the police to be suspicious
of him. and he was arrested and locked np
in the Desplainss street station. They
could not prove, however, that he had
anything 20 do with the bomb, and he was
fined s25 for carrying concealed weapons,
no other charge being brought against him.
There are likely to be two more arrests
soon In the dynamite case. Worms 10 still
In custody and probably win be held pend
ing further investigation. II ~ said that
Worms has given information to the police
whiSh win lead TO the capture OF two or
more persons FOR compliciay In the affair.
The police say they have nothing against
Worms, but intimased that hs had given
them some valuable pointers. When these
pointers are investigated he viii probably
be released.
IAsutanant Kipley refused TO say any
thing about the new suspects, except that
he would not be surprised II some prison
ers were soon brought In.
"our men are hard at work" said he,
~and SONS OF them have been very success
