NEw YoRE, Dec. G.-Tho dctoctivo
force OF the police department and tho
detective force OF tho press OF tho city
were yesterday US busy as bees, scurry-
ing after IN Identification OF the dead
wretch who blew himself into pieces Mt
Russell sagc's Office Friday last.
Identification was believed to have
been effected, and along with tho iden-
tiication there comes story. 1t is re-
markable iftrue. 1t goes to show tho
existence OF an organized band OF capi-
talist cxterminators. 1t makes the
bomb thrower one OF tho band. The
identification was made by and the
story comes from one Captain Harry
Horne, who identified tho head Mt tho
mOrgue.
Capt. Horne is now lecturer in
Worth's museum and it was there that
he first met the bomb throwcr in tho
latter part OF September. "lIo came to
me with letter OF introduction from
some person whose name l do not re-
member" said Horne to Inspector
Brynes, "and made cngagementto to meet
me the following afternoon. Imct himg
and he asked mo to 20 with him to :
lecture on monopolics, on railroads and
shipping interests, which no wanted
put under government control, offering
me 500 for every lecture delivered.
One OF the features OF the lecture was 7.
to be proposition that all railroads
carry passengers at the same rate US
freight, by which arrangement man
could travel across the continent for
few dollars, whereas it now costs $50 to
$50.
ale said that all the prominent rail-
road men, Gould, Sage, Dcpcw and
other magnates would be invited to
attend the lectures and be convinced OF
the errors OF their ways In case they
did not accept the invitations letter
would be sent to them and if they per-
sisted in refusing then bombs would be
used. He said he was member
OF strong organization to revo- (;
lutioniZe matters in the interest OF Z.
the poor. God was with it and it was <
bound to succeed. Ii any one OF tho.
monopolists refused to do what was
right toward the people he would be !
killed by some member OF the organ
ization to be chosen by lot. In order 4
to getyme to accept the position OF lcc- :,
turer he assured mo that, while must
become q member, would never be \
compelled to do any OF the killing.
lie introduced me to several peo- Z
pie, one OF whom, short, dark I.
,complexioned man with black !
moustache and short beard talked to Z.

came afraid OF the men and avoided

utcs later the doorkeeper brought mo

On the face OF the card was printed: (,

Interest was increased to-day by tho
arrest OF William D. Southworth, the I
man who sought to interest Harry
Horne, the dime museum lecturer, in
IN organization for the overthrow OF
monopolics. 1t was said that South {
worth had gone to Central America, but /,
he was found by Inspector Byrnes'
men in this city and taken to police
headquarters.
southworth is undoubtedly n crank,
and confessed to Inspector Lynne that J.
he had been IN inmate OF q lunatic
asylum. Hc was taken to tho morgue
and shown the head OF the dynamitcr,
but said he had never seen it in life In
that pa rticular he contradictcd tho
story or Horne, who said that the dead
man introduced Southworth to him at
the museum two months ago
Southworth had asked man named
Shaw ii he could advance him $500 to
begin operations with. In this con-
vcrsation he referred repeatedly to
Gould, Sage and other capitalists. They
had controlled things too long, he said,
lie thought people ought to be able to
20 to San Francisco for one dollar, and
thought three or four meetings OF his
society would get the people interested
in tho scheme.
