PITTsBURG, July 2S.-Unless one or
the other of the anarchists now confined
in the Central station can be induced to
make confession, it is very doubtful
whether the police at this end can &C
complish much more in the dire ction of
of unraveling the meshes of the con-
spiracy surrounding the attack upon the
life of Chairman Prick.
Covered Their Tracks.
The imprisoned men contrary to the
general habits or practices of the ele-
ment have for once taken the precaution
to cover their tracks behind them and q
thorough examination of the correspond
ence found in the rooms of Knold and
Bauer develops the fact that not a scrap
of it bears date within the past six
weeks. Yet it can be proven by the
postoffice officials that the mail of both
men during that period has been much
larger than for some time before.
Detective Shore, who is chief of the
corps in charge of the case, is satisfied
that the anarchists had anticipated that
q general search for damaging docu-
ments would follow the attempt upon
Tricks life and consequently took time
by the forelock in putting all such Grim
mating evidence out of the way.
The list of Pittsburg 1nillionaires and
their residences, which were found
among Bauer's papers, will, it is thought,
prove an important piece of side evil
dence at the trial, as indicating that
they have had some sinister designs in
view which were directed against per-
sons whose names had been recorded.
Among these names are those of Mr..
Prick, Henry Phipps, of Carnegie,
Phipps & Company; B. w. Jones and
H. W. Oliver, the big iron operators;
b. Vandergrift, the oil man, and two
women, whose wealth exceeds million.
Bauer sullenly refuses to make any
statement regarding the objects which
led to the preparation of the list or the
reason it happened to be in his posses
sion.
The police are not yet thoroughly
satisfied that Bauer is the man who &C
companied Berkman to the corridor of
tie Carnegie building on Saturday morn
ing, 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 fell
low who accompanied the latter to the
building is described as being very tall
with dark hair and mustache, and De-
tective McTighe is making house to
house search among the anarchistic
colony in Allegheny for such an in
dividual.
At one time the description seemed to
fit August Adolph Won Wettach, scion
of the noble Austrian family who was
expelled from that country for his revo-
lutionary ideas, and has been very
prominent among the anarchists in this
region. Some few months ago he was
sentenced to thirty days in the work
house for talking anarchy on the street,
and at that time considerable ammuni-
ton and literature of an incendiary
character was found in his house.
When the detectives made raid on
the place at midnight Tuesday night,
however, it was found that Wettach
he'd beard of months growth and
looked very much unlike the man who
had been described. He said, moreover,
that he had become Disguised with the
anarchists and their group and proposed
to leave them alone in future.
The detectives have not given up their
quest, and they will raid both cities as
with small-toothed combs but that they
will find their men.
They consider that New York is now
the chief field of operation and that the
qualifications Of conspiracy will have to
be sought In that city.
Most Not TO Re Arrested.
Herr Most may thank his stars that at
least brief breathing spell has been
granted him. At consultation be
tween Messrs, Knox and Reed. private
