BERGMAN Is INDEPENDENT.
The day was sw eltering one here, and
Bergman had arranged his toilet to suit
the weather. He had nothing on but
shirt and pair of brown trousers, and he
was evidently suffering from the heat.

but he has no strong affection for the po-
lice and he avoids them as much az he can.
Whether he has been two days or two
weeks in Pittsburg is not known. Tho
clerk of the Mechanics Hotel has identi-
fed the prisoner as Simon Roachman. who
stayed one night in his house. The suit of
clothes In which Bergman made his furious
attack on Frick was bought here. So was
his hat. He says he bought his revolver In
the Bowery. IN New York. but tins is
upon him which gives clew. He seems to
have deliberately taken every precaution
to conceal his identity before going to
Frick's office, and had his plan of commit
ting suicide upon arrest been successful he
the bomb would have blown his face away,
leaving him q corpse that no one could
recognize.
REMOVED TO THE JAIL.
Much to his own surprise and TO that of
every body else. Bergman was transferred
from the Central station to the Jail about
= O'Clock this evening. Detectives Short
and Colson called at the station. and quiet
~ walked the prisoner away. hoping thus
to evade any public attention. A couple of
sharp gamins standing at the corner Of
Cherry alley recognized Bergman. and at
once began to form a procession. The Of
ficers tried to drive them away, and to
deny that the prisoner was the notorious
Anarchist. but the boys followed on, tell
ing every ono they met. At Fifth avenue
fully hundred people were eagerly crowd.
ing forward to see the man, and the time
the Jail yates were reached there must
have been twice that number on hand.
There was no demonstration of any sort,
the people seemed to be actnated by curl
osity simply. When Bergman was turned
over to Warden McAleese he WAS searched
and asked the usual question. He gave his
name rs Alexander Bergman.
What's your other name. Aleckp the
warden asked.
'Oh, this name will do for the present"
Very we'll. Bergman il is"
Ppm willing to stay Bergman for q while,
anyhow"
No date has yet been fixed for his pre-
liminary hearing. A photograph of Mr.
Frck's private Office, showing the positions
of the furniture and the blood stains on the
carpet, was taken this morning for the use
Of the prosecution.
Neither ODonnell nor Ross had any
visitors In the county iail to-day. The gen.
eral expectation is that Judge Magee's de-
cision tomorrow morning will be favor
able to the release of both men on bail.
