PITTsBURG, July 25.-Six informations
were fled against Alexander Bergman to-
night by Secretary Loveioy, of the Car
negie company, charging felonious assault
on Frick and Leishman and en-
tering the building for the purpose
OF committing an assault. If Berg
man gets the limit on these in
formations, he will have thirty three
years time to reflect. Rumors are in cir
cutation that some anarchists are coming
here from Chicago, and that an attempt
will be made to pass dynamite in to the
prisoner. The authorities take little stock
In the story, but will take due precau-
tions.
This afternoon detectives arrested Cas-
per knod, workman at Taylor & Dean s
wire mill, on the charge of being an ac-
compllce OF Bergman. knold said Berg
man came to him on July Ii with letter
of introduction from Herr Most. He
stayed with Knold until last
Thursday. On Friday Knold met
him up town and pointed out
Carnegie's office to him. Knold claims
to have destroyed Herr Most's letter.
Paul Eckert. who rents rooms to knoId
and his wife, was also arrested, but soon
afterward released. The fact that Berg
man presented a letter from Herr
Most substantiates the latter's claim
that he was acquainted with
the prisoner and reflects upon the veracity
OF Bergman, who asserted last night that
he had never met Most.~ Other arrests are
looked for soon. Robert Sterlula, who has
been arrested at Soho for expressing an in
tention ofkilling Carnegie, has been turned
over to the charities bureau as harmless
lunatic.
Later on the police searched Knold's
house and discovered a large amount of
anarchistic literature, some of the most
incendiary description. Among the stuff
captured were letters from anarchists in
Chicago, New York. Hoboken and other
places. knold admitted he had received
several letters from Most concerning
Bergman. Most of them told him that
Bergman was bad man.
The police authorities are convinced to-
night that the attempted assassination of
Frick was due to an anarchistic plot tha.
may be as great in scope as that for which
Spies and his companions were hanged.
They have the names of number of per-
sons in New York, Long Branch, Hoboken
and other places who they think are i'm
plicated, and kilograms have been sent to
have them arrested. A number of arrests
will probably be made here tomorrow.
Bergman, when told this morning hat
Frick would recover, said: "Well, I'm
sorry for that" Bergman says he was
born in st. Petersburg. Russia, and edu-
Gated in one of the leading colleges there
When he was told that the people consid-
cred his act most cowardly, and that he
had no sympathizers, he replied: 81
know the people will be with me, and
am sorry | made bad job of it,"
Bergman declared he had no confederates.
He asked for newspapers, and said he
wanted to see what they said about him.
New YoRK. July 25.-Chief of Police
O'Mara, of Pittsburg, called at headquar-
ters this afternoon and was closeted for
some time with Chief Inspector Steers
with regard to the attempted assassina-
tion of Frick. City detectives are hard at
work on the case.
