The President Of the WHISKY
Trust is Arrested,
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
To Blow Up a Chicago Dis,tllery ry

a Government Gauger.
shrcwd Detective Work.

CHICAGO, Feb. ll.-oharies J. Gibsor,
Secretary of the whisky trust was az
rested this morning, charged with an
attempt to bribe revenue officer named
'Dswar. When arrested Gibson had in
bis possession grip sack which con-
tanned the evidence Of the plot. Gibson
was taken before us. Commissioner
Hoyne and waving examination was
held in $50 900 bond. 1t is stated that
a plot to blow up the Chicago distillery,
which is not in the whisky trust, has
been unearthed.
The distiiiery which was 10 have been
blown up is Shufeld's, a large concern,
which has been fighting the whisky
trust. Gibson by degrees led Gauger
Dewar up to the PROPOSITION to destroy
the plce. He told Dewar that as he had
access 10 tho establishment he could
easily place dynamite cartridge under.
the big tanks, fire the fuse and escape.
He was told that he would he given SiO,.
600 and could make $25,00O by doing tie
job. Asa matter OF fact, the nature of
the machine issnch that, had Dewar fell
in with the plot. not only his own lifc,
but the lives OF every one employed iu
the building would have been sacrificed.
Gibson has paid many visits and at last
the details Of the plot were perfected.
The machine was prepared and secreted
in the city, and Gibson had evidently
come here to-day TO arrange the final de-
trils. Dewar, It seems, had carried out
his part 80 nicely that Gibson had MT
the slightest suspicion that DeWar was
but an acComplice.
Two previous attempts which were
attributed to the Whisky Trust, but noi
proven, were made to destroy Schr.
feldfs with dynamite. One OF them
occurred two years ago last fall. Dsctec.
live Dan Coughlin, Of the city police
force, was detailed on the case, and 1t
was while at work on 1t that he made
the acquaintance Of the little German,
John p. Kunze. Both OF them were
litsrward tried for completely in the
OF DR.. Cronin. Coughlin is
serving lie sentence for the crime, but
kunZe was acquitted.
