CONSPIRACY AGAINST CAPITALISM
Pittsburg Police Authorities Stopped in
Their Efforts to Uncover 1t.
PIrrsBURo, July 27.-Unless one or the
other Of the anarchists now confined in the
central station can be induced to make a con
fession it il very doubtful whether the police
at this end can accomplish much more in the
| direction Of unraveling the meshes of the con.
| spiracy surrounding the attack upon the life OF
Chairman Frick.
The imprisoned men, contrary to the general
habits or practices of tho element, have for
once taken the precaution to cover their tracks
behind them and a thorough examination Of the
| correspondence found in The rooms of Knold and
Bauer develops the fact that not q scrap OF
it bears date within the past six weeks.
Yet it can be proven by the post Office
officials that the mail Of both men
during the period has been much
larger than for some time before
Detective Shore, who is chief Of the corps in
charge of the case, is satisfied that the anar-
chists had anticipated that a general search for
damaging documents would follow the attemp,
| upon Tricks life, and that consequently they
took time by the forelock in putting all such
eliminating evidence out of sight.
| THE DEATH LIST.
The list Of Pittsburg milionaires and their
residences, which was found among Bauer's
papers, will, 1t Is thought, prove an important
piece of side evidence at the trial. Is indicating
| that they have had some sinister designs in view
which were directed against persons whose
names had been recorded Among these names
are Mr.. Frick, Henry Phipps Of Carnegie,
Phipps 4 Co., B. r Jones and othe,

wealth exceeds q million. Bauer sullenly re-
| fuses to make any statement regarding the OBJ
jects which led to the preparation Of the list OF
the reason it happened to be in his possession.
She police are not yet thoroughly. satisfied
that Bauer is the man who accompanied Berg
man to the corridor Of the Carnegie building
on Saturday morning and handed him
q package. although they have evil
dence that the suspect was with
the would-be assassin in the neighborhood Of
the Duquesne Club. The fellow who accom-
panied the latter to the building is described as
being very tall, with dark hair and mustache,
and Detective McTighe is making house-to-
house search among the anarchistic people in
Allegheny.
At the time the description seemed to fit Al
gust Adolph Won Wettach, scion Of the noble
Austrian family, who was expelled from that
country for his revolutionary ideas and
has been very prominent in the an
archistic circles here. Some few months
ago he was sentenced to thirty days in the work
house for talking anarchy on the street and at
that time considerable ammunition and htera-
ture OF an incendisry character was found In his
house. When the detectives made q raid on the
place at midnight last night however, it was
found that Wettach had beard Of month 9
growth and looked very unlike the man who
bad been described to them. He said. more
over. that he had become disgusted with the
anarchists and their group and proposed to
leave them alone in future.
The detectives have not given up their quest
and say they will raid both cities as with small
toothed comb but what they will find their man.
They consider, however, that New York Is now
the chief field Of operation, and that the rami-
ications Of the conspiracy will have to be
sought in that city.
JOHN Mosr's CASE
Herr Most may thank his lucky stars that at
least a brief breathing spell has been granted
him
Messrs. Knox and Reed, private counsel for
the Carnegie Company, held consultation last
evening with Chief Of Public Safety Brown
1t was agreed, 80 it is given out.
that far sufficient evidence had
not developed to warrant the request
10 just possible, however, that this is just bluf
for the purpose Of throwing the New York sus-
poets of the scent. The only suspicious facts
connected with Most are that he visited
knold in this city at different times during the
two weeks commencing June "a, that he told
Knold that Bergman was coming here. and
that the latter, when he put in an
appearance at Knold's house, said
that the address had been given
to him by Most. This is regarded as circum-
stantial evidence Of kind, but rather too cir
cumstantial to be of any account in the present
juncture or until it is reinforced by future
development.
The arrest last night Of Frederick Simmons,
prominent turner, for distributing anarchistic
literature on the street, has 10 connection with
the Russian end Of the affair, but in the
present excited state Of the public
to make an example Of him. He will be
given q hearing next Tuesday for distributing
literature tending toward n breach of the
peace. In his pockets were found number
Of tickets for the rattle in aid of the
fund for the relief Of the families
lars he was distributing called upon working
men to become anarchists and set forth that
anarchy, was the only true remedy
for the oppression Of labor. A
naturalization certificate found among
Bauer's papers shows that he was made
court Of New York on August &c, 1890, after
having taken the necessary oath to recognize
and support the Constitution Of the United
States

lease on bail Of James Close, mill
