probably. She has lcen almost convinced
| again that the story first told her Of only %
| single wound is true. Letters and kilograms
| Of conSIntulation continue to pour in to the
| family. Nothing has been heard from Andrew
! Carnegie. On Saturday afternoon. immedi-
| atcly after the shooting. Mr. Frick dictated q
cablcgram to him. saying that his injuries
were not serious and he would ho at his Office
/ again on Monday. Mr.. Carnegie. it ia be-
leved, is in tho Highlands in Scotland. ont OF
the reach of tho telegraph and cable. This 10
| the reason for his silence.
| The belief that Bcrkman was not alone in
| tho plot to assnsSinatc Mr. Frick is fast be-
| coming almost a conviction. Roger DInra.
, tho Superintendent Of Police OF this city. who
went to New York on Sunday evening. said
| that it WINS other busir 5 that took him there.
! but. in view Of the developments OF to-day ami
the arrests that have been made here. this
| statement is discrrdited
| Mr.. Mara believes that Rerkman was prol,-
ably tool Of some anarchistic circle and that
| that circle. working in conjunction with the
numerous Anarchists In Pittsburgh AMI Alle-
gheny. resolved and plotted tho removal Of Mr..
Frck. and that Derkmun was selected 10 do the
work.
Two persons supposed to be Annrchi.ts in
the plot were arrested early this evening. and
tonight it was given out that there would be
more before morning. The two mon arrested
| are and have been known us Anarchists In this
city. They both live in the Anarchist colony.
| Tho first man who was arrested was Carl
Knob. an Anarchist Of pronounced type. He
is "a years old. and he lives with his wife and
ono child at ; Cherry street. Allegheny.
On July 1G the Adams Express Company at it's
office in Allegheny received packing" con-
| tanning 81 addressed to Alexander lberk man.
care OF Carl Knob. S Cherry street. Five days
later another package. containing $B. was re-
ceived by the express company. marked for
| Berkman ut the same address. The last pack
age was from Long Branch.
| When the news Of the attempt of Mr.. Tricks
| life was published in the evening papers here.
the agent Of Adams Express Company imme-
diately informed tho police OF those facts.
Detectives Steele Of Allegheny and William
| Shore of Pittsburgh went to this address.
They found that Knob lived over tho black
smthing establishment OF Taylor 4 Deans.
They questioned tho blacksmith and several
OF the neiGhbors and learned soms-
thing about Knob. but could gain
| no information as to his connection
with Berkman. Yesterday they went there gain
and made progress. hutit was not until this
afternoon that their ahors were rewarded. On
tho strength ofthe additional information they
had gathered they arrested Knob and brought
him TO the police station. Here the prisoner
protested his innocence OF any crime. and very
willingly told the police all that he knew about
| Berkman.
"The young man." he said. came to my
| house two weeks ago and said he was from
! Geneva and n comrade In the cause. invited
him to stay with me. and at the same time I
wrote to Herr Most and asked him II he knew
ANYTHING about Bcrkman. Most wrote back
that l had bettcr look out for him as
he was good. We went out walk
ing together several times and T
showed him around tho city. On Wednesday
he bought new suit OF clothes at Fleisch-
mann's. On Thursday we were walking down
Fifth avenue. We stopped In front OF Mr..
Tricks Office. and Berkman went up
stairs. He told me he was looking for
work We went there again on Fri
day morning and Brrkman went up
stairs. but no camc down and said that
no ono was in. That afternoon he told me no
was going West. went with him to the depot
and lett MIN at the gate. through which he
wont as II to go on board train. That Is tho
last saw Of him. As soon us l read about the
shooting In the newspapers ] knew 1t was
Bcrkman. because no was very bitter against
| Frick and often told me SO. IeXpected to bN
arrested ever since it occurred"
This settles at once the story Berkman told.
and still insists on. to the effect that he came
here on Thursday last.
This story OF Knolb is all that the police will
toll. but it IS not by any means all that Knob
told the police. He wasthoroughly frightened
when he was eflmined by the detectives at
the police cent? station. and II Is stated on
excellent autIf Pity that he gave important in
formation thf. led to the other arrest. So far
the police have refused to give tho name Of
the second man. nor will they tell what they
hnNN ngainst him. Iha man liYns In ptta.
