LONDON, Jan. 9. = Copyright. THE
prophecy in The DISPATCH last week has
been promptly fulfilled by the discovery of
dynamite plot" in England and the ar
rest of so-cslled dynamiters in London
The three prisoners have been remanded,
as il will take considerable time for the
police to complete their investigations, so
We are told. Until then there is no need
TO say mere here than that the police story
lacks symmetry, and that it requires no
strain upon the imagination to trace the
rascslly but masterful hand of Red Jim
McDermot in the plot
\; the moment of cabling this THE DIS
PATCH reporter learns that the man Deakin
who was arrested in London has greatly
disappointed the Scotland Yard people.
The mysterious fluid which he carried in a
small bottle within cigar box proves to be
chloroform, as Deakin declared it was
The Police Nave n New Theory Ready.
This necessitated a new theory, and has
been promptly furnished to fit the case.
The police allege that the anarchists have
lately been discussing at their meetings the
doctrine of individual appropriation,
which is said to mean iustifable stealing,
Ergo Deakin meant to stupefy someone with
chloroform and then rob him. The theory,
although comforting TO the police, will not
bear magisterial investigation, and it has
been decided to take Deakin to WaIsall and
charge him with. completely in the dyna-
mite plot there.
The bomb said to have been found in the
house Of one of the prisoners is of the size
and shape of a large pear, comfortably port
able, and. according to official experts,
powerful enough, If filled with dynamite, 20

From another source of news il has leaked
/ out that the police investigations have de-
veioped the fact that the prisoners, Gales,
Slaughter and Deakin, with others who are
not yet in custody, were Matching a plot re-
semblng in its details the plot of the an

market massacre in 1886
Sensational Developments Promised.
1t is asserted that some of the documents
seized by the police are of an extremely
startling nature. Further arrests are pretty
certain to follow the knowledge obtained by
the police, and sensational developments
are promised when the authorities make
public ali the details OF the conspiracy. I
the police, or else they thought the nearer
they were to them the safer from discovery
they would be, for their club room was
within stones throw of the police station.
The windows, which present an extremely |
uukempt appearance. bear in blue letters |
the words, ''The Walsau Socialist Club"
Among the spoils that have fallen into
the hands of the police is heap of pamph-
lets and papers found in the club rooms
had in
language against rich men, monopolists and
society in general. Among the papers
found were copies of the Chicago Ar.drchia,
besides large number of cartoons pub
lished in American and continental Anarch-
ist papers.
The police regard Slaughter as the most
dangerous member of the gang. He was
born in Norwich, but has lived for wears in
the United States He is a self-educated
man. speaks several languages fuently and
Is rabid in his support Of socialistic doc

Slaughter's Career in England.
Slaughter came to Walsall six months ago
and Immediately became member of the |
club He soon developed into leader and |
since then has virtually been the prime |
mover in all the schemes concocted by the |
anarchists in that town.
Notwithstanding their reticence regarding |
the details of the conspiracy they have un- |
earthed, the police display no hesitancy in
giving a history of Slaughter. They |
claim to have knowledge that he |
was prominent among the socialists of Chi |
cago at the time of the Haymarket massacre,
and claim that he has been connected with |
almost every big Anarchist movement in |
recent years Slaughter talks with an
American accent He is tall and slim, and
wears sandy mustache. Since last July
be has been employed in foundry.
W hen the police searched Slaughter's |
lodgings they found an immense assortment
Of literature, in which the most violent
form OF language was used to call Anarchists
TO revenge themselves upon society for the
wrongs which they claim to suffer- Among
the papers was circular which reads:
A Blood and Thunder Manifesto.
Fight or starve! We, of the International
Secret Society appeal to our fellow slaves

crying diSgITce to MS, as workers, that we
