tBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
s. PITTsBURG, July 27-Unless one or
he other of the anarchists now confined
the Central station can be induced to
bake confession, it is very doubtful
s Fhether the police at this end can ac-
omplish much more in the direction Of
y lnravelling the meshes of the conspiracy
surrounding the attack upon the

Over their tracks behind them, and a
S borough examination of the correspon-
fence found in the rooms of KnOld and
z 5auer develops the fact that not a scrap
4 1t bears date within the past six
81 weeks. Yet 1t can be proven by the post
1ttice officials that the mail of both men
Turing that period has been much larger
han for some time before.
n Detective Shore who is chief of the
corps in charge of the case, is satisfied
hat the anarchists had anticipated that
~ general search for damaging documents
would follow the attempt upon Frick's
ife and that consequently they took time
{ by the forelock in putting all such crimi-
mating evidence out of the way.
The list of Pittsburg millionaires and
their residences which was found among
8auer's papers will, it is thought, prove
an important piece of side evidence at
the trial as indicating that they had
some sinister designs in view which were
.sdirected against persons whose names
had been recorded. Among these names
lre those of Mr. Frick, Henry Phipps, of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co., B. F. Jones and
III. w. Oliver, the big iron operators B.
n. Vandergrift, the oil man, and two
swomen, whose wealth exceed million.
Bauer sullenly refuses to make any
statement regarding the objects which
led to the preparation of the list
s. or the reason it happened to be in his
possession.
May Implicate Won Wettach.
The police are not yet thoroughly salts
H fed that Bauer is the man who accom-
panied Berkman to the corridor of the
Carnegie building on Saturday morning
and handed him package, although
they have evidence that the suspect was
with the would-be assassin in the neigh
borhood Of the Duquesne Club. The
fellow who accompanied the latter to the
building is described as being very tall,
u hot
4 tive McTighe is making a house-to-house
search among the anarchistic colony in
i Allegheny for such an individual.
At one time the description seemed to
fit August Adolph Won Wettach, a scion
of the noble Austrian family, who was
! expelled from that country for his revo
lutionary ideas and has been very promi-
nent in anarchistic circles in this region.
n Some few months ago he was sentenced
q to thirty days in the workhouse for talk
ing anarchy on the street and at that
time, considerable ammunition and lit
erature of an incendiary character as
=. found in his house.
When the detectives made a raid on
the place at midnight last night, how
ever, it was found that Wettach had a
beard of a months growth and looked
very unlike the man who had been de
4 scribed to them He said, moreover, that
4 hs had become disgusted with the anar
chists and their group and proposed to
leave them alone in the future.
The detectives have not given up theii
quest and say that they will raid both
cities as with small toothed comb
until they find their man. They con
slider, however, that New York is the
chief field of operation and that the rami
fications of the conspiracy will have Il
be sought in that city.
Most Gets Breathing Spell.
Herr Most may thank his lucky star
that at least brief breathing spell ha
been granted him. At consultation
between Messrs Knox and Reid, private
counsel for the Carnegie Company Dis
trictAttorney Burleigh and Chief Of Publi
Safety Brown, it was agreed, so it is Civ
en- out, that so far, sufficient evidence hat
not developed to warrant the request T.
the New York police to effect his arrest
II is just possible, however, that this i
simply bluff for the purpose of throwing
the New York suspects off the scent. Tn
only suspicious facts connected witt
Most are that he visited Knold in thi
city at different times during the tw
weeks commencing June 21, that he toll
Knold that Berkman was coming her
and that the latter, when he put in a
appearance at KnOld's house, said tina
the address had been given to him b
Most. This is regarded as circumsta1
tial evidence of kind. but rather TO
circumstantial to be of account at tn
present juncture. or until it is reinforce
by future developments.
An Anarchistic Turner Arrested.
The arrest last night of Frederic
Simmons. prominent turner, for dis
tributing anarchistic literature on tn
street, has no connection with tn
Russian end of the affair, but in th
present excited state of the public min
the police regard it as necessary to max
an example of him. He will be given
hearing next Tuesday for distributin
literature tending toward a breach of th
peace. In his pockets were number {
tickets for the rattle in aid of the fun
for the relief of the families of I'll
executed Chicago anarchists. The eli
culars he was distributing called upo
workingmen to become anarchists, an
set forth that anarchy was the only tru
