ynamitePs-Arrests Made.
LoSpoN, Jan. Silver since the OK
plosion at Dublin Castle the police
throughout the United Kingdom lave
been more than usually vigiant IN look
ing for individuals who are the enemies
of law and order. and more particularly
for those who attempt 20 lend force 10
their arguments by the use dfdynamite.
To-day the police clam that they have
effected an important arrest OF q group
Of Anarchists residing in Walsall,
town in Staffordshire.
A man who was recently passing the
police station in Tottenham Court ROaC
in London attracted the attention .
the police by his peculiar manner. and
he was taken into custody as u euspl-
cious character. The police found am
pie justification for arresting the man.
At tie time of his arrest the man Wils
CARRYING parcel. When he WAS taken
into the police station he was Of
course searched, and upon his person
were found papers giving the details OF
Anarchist plots and giving the names
of persons implicated III the consplra
cies. The package the man had been
carving was found TO contain a bottle
labeled chloroform. The papers showed
that the headquarters ofthe Anarchists
was at Walsall and steps were immedi-
ately taken to place them under arrest.
The result was that a Frenchman
named Victor Gales, Marie Plbelne,
woman with whom Gales WAS living,
and Frederick Charles, all residing ut
Walsall, were soon in custody. The
prisoners are each about 30years of age.
They belonged to Socialist club in
Walsal. The club room and the resi-
dences of the prisoners were searched
by the police. and the investigation led
to the most important discoveries con-
corning the Vaccinations and work Of
the plotters.
The prisoners were arraigned in court
to-day and charged with having in their
possession explosives which they in
tended to devote to unlawful purposes.
On the application Of the chief consta-
BILE, the magistrate discharged Marie
Pibelne. 1t is possible that she has
made a confession and that it is the in
tention of the authorities to use her as
q witness against the other prisoners.
A constable testified that the prison
ers had in their possession matrices
produced some specimens of these
matrices. They were of conical shape
and four or five inches long. Models OF
other parts of the paraphernalia used
in making bombs were also found in
possession Of the prisoners. The chief
constable asked for an adjournment
of the case, limiting at the same time
that it was probable that other arrests
would shortly follow. The magistrate
granted the request Of the chief consta-
bic, and the prisoners were remanded
for a week.
Gales has been identified as q man
who is wanted in France on the charge
OF intent to commit murder. The police
have discovered the secret foundry
for the manufacture Of bombs
and the place where explosives
were made A firm of iron founders
have informed the authorities that in
November they were offered extensive
orders for hollow castings similar to q
bomb which Was produced by the chief
constable In court to-day.
1t has traspired that the police have
for a long time been suspicious of the
members of the club ac Walsall land
that for three months they have been
watching the club rooms day and
night. They did not feel war
ranted in making arrests, how
ever, until the arrest of the man
IN London, and the discriminating docu-
ments found on him established beyond
a doubt that the members of the gang
were engaged in unlawful practices.
Among the articles seized by the po-
lice in Walsall is an abundant supply Of
Anarchist pamphlets teaching the manu-
facture of explosives, besides quantity
of material for bombs and bolts
