Dublin GAStle Explosion <He SOTM Oh
Observation-Disclosures Made.
LONDON, Jan. S.--Ever since the OK
plosion at Dublin Castle the police
throughout the United Kingdom have
been more than usually vigiiant In look
ing for individuals who are the enemies
of law and order. and more particularly
fer those who attempt to lend force to
their arguments by the use ofdynamite.
To-day the police claim that they have
effected an important arrest of q group
of Anarchists residing in Walsall, a
town in Staffordshire.
A man who was recently passing the
police station in TottenEam Court Road
in London attracted the attention OF
the police by his peculiar manner, and
he was taken into custody as a susp1-
cious character The police found am
pie justification for arresting the man.
At the time of his arrest the man was
carrying parcel. When he was taken
into the police station he was OF
course, searched, and upon, his pcrson.
were found papers giving the details Of
Anarchist plots and giving the names
of persons implicated in the conspira-
cies. The package the man had been
carrying was found to contain bottle
labeled chloroform. The papers showed
that the headquarters ofthe Anarchists
was at Walsall and steps were lmmedl-
ate1v taken to place them under arrest.
The result was that Frenchman
named Victor Gales, Marie Pibelne, a
woman with whom Gales was living,
and Frederick Charles, all residing at
Walsall, were soon in custody. The
prisoners are each about 3Oyears Of age.
They belonged to q Socialist club in
Walsall, 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 arraignedi 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. It is possible that she has
made @ confession and that it is the in
tention of the authorities to use her as
witness against the other prisoners.
A constable testified that the prison
ers had in their possession matrices
which were used in making bombs. tie
produced some specimens OF these
matrices. They were of conical shape
and four or five inches long. Models Of
other parts of the paraphernalla used
in making bombs were also found in
possession of the prisoners. Tho chief
constable asked for an adjournment
of the case, hinting 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 renanded
for week.
Gales has been identified as 81 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 whore 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 wss produced by tho chief
| constable in court to-day.
1t has traspired that the police have
| for long time been SUSPICIOUS of the
members of the club sc Walsall. and
| that for three months they have been
| watching the club rooms day and
night They did not feel war
ranted III making arrests, how
ever, until the arrest of the man
in London, and the discriminating docu-
ments found on him established beyond
8 doubt that the members Of the gang
were engaged in unlawfui practices.
Among the articles seized by the po-
| lice in Walsall is an abundant supply of
| Anarchist pamphlets teaching the manu-
tacture OF explosives, besides a quantity
of material for bombs and bolts.
