 PTTTsBURG, July 26.-The murderous attack upon Henry c. Prick, chairman of the Carnegie Com pany, was not the work of q crazy Anarchist acting solely upon his own impulses, and imbued with the idea that he was doing the country a ser vice by ridding it of great iron master.
 Instead, it was an outcome of a con spiracy of the worst elements of the Rus sian Anarchists deliberately conceived, and Berkman, the would-b assassin, was either the tool or the willing ally of the conspirators.
 This is the conclusion that the leading police authorities of Pittsburg have ar rived at, and they claim to be supported in it by advices from New York, which they refuse to make public at present, for fear that justice may be thwarted.
 The first important link in the chain of evidence pointing toward this conclusion was forged yesterday, in the arrest of a local Anarchist with whom Berkman had been living for more than week, and to whose abode he appears to have gone at the suggestion of the notorious Herr Most. The mans name is Karl Knold, and he lives on Cherry street, a small thoroughfare across the river in Allegheny.
 Knold protests, of course that he had no knowledge of Berkman's plans, but there are m any other damaging circumstances He admits that Berkman came to his house on the 14th of July.
 He says that Berkman told him he had come to Pittsburg to seek employment and told him he knew Herr Most. The authorities, it is believed, have documentary evidence that not only strongly connects Knold with Berkman, but will justify other arrests. The de- velopments to-day are likely to be start ling
 The information that led to the arrest of Anarchist Knold was gained through the arrival of an express package ad- dressed to Berkman in care of Knold. Conrad Echard, another rampant An archist, is also in jail charged with com plicity.
 MT. Tricks Condition.
 There is no change in the condition of H. c. Prick that would indicate that his chances for recovery are other than eX- | cellent
 Reports from his residence this morning are to the effect that he passed a restful night despite the closeness of the atmos- phere.
 His extraordinary vitality was strikingly demonstrated yesterday, for although it was the hottest day that Pittsburg has eX perienced in nearly ten years, his wounds gave him apparently little trouble while mentally he was bright and active. His wounds were examined and dressed l this morning, but there was not the faint est trace of blood poisoning or of any great amount of inflammation than would | be expected under the circumstances, and | the results of the examination were de- | cidedly encouraging both to the sur | geons and their patient.
 | As to the future of the sufferer, the | surgeons say that it will not be possible | for him to leave his bed, even to walk l about the room, for at least month or | six weeks at the earliest. l The action of Judge Magee in admitting | O'Donnell to bail is just what has been anticipated by those who heard the evi- dence adduced by the prosecution on | Saturday.
 l The Court reviewed this evidence at length, cited the law on the question and announced as his conclusion that no case
 
 made out against the prisoner.
 It was apparent, he said, that O'Donnell was not an actual participant in the action, though there are grounds for the belief that he was sympathizer, but there was evidence enough to justify an indictment for mur- der in the second degree. He hoped, how ever, that when the defendant came to trial he would be able to show that he was in no wise guilty of participation in an affray that had resulted in the loss of l so many lives.
 It was the courts imperative duty to admit the defendant to bail, and that bail would be fixed at $10,0OO.
 The decision was received with a buzz of satisfaction from the court room, and it was fully a minute before the tip staffs could secure silence.
 It was then announced that no evidence would be offered against Ross, Foy and Allen, and bail in the same amount was fixed for each man. Bail was prompt ly given for all four defendants, and they ; were released.
 Robert Sterling, the starved, shabbily dressed young fellow from Chicago, who was arrested on Second avenue late Sun day night while telling a small crowd that he had walked all the way from that city to kill Andrew Carnegie, has beer sent to the workhouse.
 When taken to the station he fainteG for the want of food, and afterwards ad
 mitted that he had eaten nothing since Friday He says he has lived in Chicago for years had worked on one of the cable
 lines, and was in the Haymarket Square r during the riot. The pockets of his cloth g ing were entirely empty, save an ugly looking knife.
 The orders signed by Mir. Prick ana posted at the Homestead works this morn
 ing, to the effect that men returning tt
 work would be insured against removal
 is regarded as the final peace offering o ! the firm to the strikers. In this connec
 tion representative of the firm makes aI
 important statement:
 - "Even if Mr. Prick should die" he said D. I 'the policy of the management in tn,
 present crisis will be strictly adhered to , The statement that Mir. Carnegie is not il full accord with Mir. Prick in the cours ? the latter has pursued of late, is abso lutely and unqualihedly untrue. It car \ be proven beyond peradventure if neces
