BERGMAN's ACCoMPLICEs ARRESTED.
A wild rumor was in circulation that
several friends of Bergman arrived here
from Chicago last night armed with dyns-
mite bombs and cartridges, and that an at
tempt would be made to pass some of the
explosives to the prisoner. The Jail
authorities do not take much stock
in the story, but will allow no
one to see the prisoner, who is
not known. Detective Shore arrested
Casper Knoldt, charged with being Berg
mans accomplish. Paul Eckert of Al
leghany was also arrested. The police
searched Knoldt's house and discovered
large amount of anarchist literature,
some of it of most incendiary
nature. Among the stuff captured
were letters from anarchists in
Chicago, New York and other places
Knoldt afterwards admitted that he had
received several letters from Most concern
ing Bergman and that Most told him Berg
man was a bad man. He said Bergman
that he was in search of em-
ployment and he claimed he knew nothing
of the intended assassination. The police
are convinced that the attempted assassin
alton of Mr.. Prick was an anarchistric
plot that may be as great in scope as
that for which Spies and his companions
were hanged. They have the names of
number of persons in New York, Long
Branch, Hoboken and other places whom
they think were implicated, and kilograms
have been sent to have them arrested In
spector McKelvey said they might be able |
to show that Herr Most was interested in |
the affair. |

Atmidnight Mr.. Tricks condition was
unchanged. He is suffering some pain,
but the physicians are hopeful of his early |
recovery. Mrs. Tricks condition was much |
improved.
