PrTTsBURe, July 25.-=The police au
thorities are convinced tonight that the
attempted assassination of Frick wal
an anarchist plot, that may be as grea
in scope as that for which Spies and hi
companions were hanged. They hay,
the names of number of persons il
New York, Long Branch, Hoboken ant
other places. whom they think are i'm
plicated, and kilograms have been SEN
to have them arrested. A number, O
arrests will probably be made here to
morrow.
Six informations were fled against
Alexander Bergman tonight by Secre
tary Lovejoy of the Carnegie company
charging felonious assault on Frick ans
Leishman, and entering building fol
the purpose of committing assault. Il
Bergman gets the limit on these infor
nations he will get thirty-three years q
time in which to reflect.
THE PRISONERS BRAvADo.
Bergman, when told this morning thai
Frick would recover, said: "Well, Pm
sorry for that
Bergman says he was born in st. Pc
tersburg, Russia, and educated at one
of the leading colleges there. When
told the people consider his act most
cowardly, and that he had no sympa-
thizers, he replied: 81 know the people
will be with me, and am sorry made a
bad job OF it. l am willing to stand the
consequences.'
Bergman declared he had no confed-
crates. He asked for newspapers, and
said he wanted to see what they eaid
about him.
Rumors are in circulation that some
anarchists have come from Chicago, and
that an attempt will be made to pass
dynamite to the prisoner. The author
tiles take little stock in the story, but
will take due precautions.
AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
This afternoon detectives arrested
Casper Knold, q workman at Taylor &
Deans wire mill, on charge of being
an accomplice of Bergman. Knold says
Bergman came to him July 18th with a
letter of introduction from Herr Most.
He stayed with Knold until last Thurs
day. 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
Knold and wife, was also arrested, but
soon after released.
The fact that Bergman presented
letter from Most substantiates the lat
ter's claim that he is acquainted with
the prisoner, and reflects upon the ve-
racity of Bergman, who asserted last
night that he never met Most.
Later the police searched Knold's
house and discovered large amount of
anarchistic literature, some of a most
incendiary description. Among the
stuff captured were letters from anar-
chists in Chicago, New York, Hoboken
and other places. Knold admitted that
he received several letters from Most,
concerning Bergman. Most told him
Bergman was bad man.
Other arrests are looked for soon.
Robert Sterlula, arrested at Soho for
expressing an intention of killing Car
negie, has been turned over to the
charities bureau, as harmless lunatic.

OMAHA of Pittsburg called at police
