der Bergman. Mollock is the man who
sent Bergman tho money from Long
Branch last week, and Bauer is the re-
cognized leader of the Anarchists in this
| section. He succeeded fricke upon the
death of the latter two wears ago as the
agent for the distribution Of Anarchistic
literature. and the police have been watch

| Spring Garden avenue. Allegheny. at 10
o'clock this morning. bv Detectives Shore
and McIighe, and j. now in the Central
Station. Bauer shs W no surprise when
arrested. and took t-.e matter cody. He
admitted he vas the agent here for the dis
tribution of Anarchist documents, and
that be. had sent the circulars TO Homestead
which were ordered contiscated by
General Snowden. He denied all
knowledge of the attempt on Mr..
or heard of Bergman tall last week. when
he met him at Knold's house There
were two meetings, ne said. each time by
accident, and Bergman told him he was
here to get work. Bauer told him IL was
bad time to hunt work on account of the
Homestead trouble. He had not seen
Bergman since last Thursday.
When searched at the station-house q
gold watch and chain, two keys, a sub
scriptiOn-bOok for money received from
the anarchlstic group Of which Bauer IS n
leader, and sixty-seven cents was also
found on his person. At Bauer's home,
however. the police unearthed a small
sized arsenal They found breech-load-
ing rifle and an American bulldog re-
volver, and large quantity of cartridges,
running in size from D. TO A-calibre.
Carl Knol1, a leader of the Allegheny
Anarchists, was arrested Monday upon
suspicion of having aided Bergmann.
IL had been discovered that Bergman
spent over a week with him. This was
found out through the Adams Express
Company, which had transmitted two
packages OF money TO Bergmaun, sent to
him from New York.
Further than this, Knold admitted that
Bergman had been his guest; that they
discussed tine krick case, and that ne
pointed out TO Bergman the building in
which Frick's Office was located. These
circumstances strongly bore out the
theory OF a conspiracy.
Upon knold's room being searched a
number .of copies of Herr Most's paper
were found. together with q quantity Of
other documents. whose contents the au-
thorities would not make public, but
which they say are of an discriminating
character.
knold is blacksmith, Is years old, and
has wife and two children. The knolds
occupied house in common with family
named Echard, whose head is also an An
arcbist.
Caspar Knold, the Anarchist arrested
last night, is still at the Central Station.
No information has yet been made against
HIM. and he viii be detained IN the station
till his record and connection with Berg
man are more fully investigated. The de-
| tectives here do not believe hnold':
story, and think he has more TO dc
with the attempt on Mr.. Fricks life than
| he claims. The statement that he did not
know Bergman till he came here is not
credited. for the reason that his alleged
accomplice. Mollock. well knew where &c
send the money. Neither do they believe
| Knold saw the last of Bergman on Friday
| when he alleges he accompanied Bergman
to the Union Station. That be showed
| Bergman to the Office of Mr. Frlck several
| days before the assault is evident.
