for the search of Knold's residence
Monday evening proved conclusively
that the circle or section, or whatever Il
may be called, had been continuously
engaged in active propaganda, and in.
timately associated with other oppo-
nents of free government and liberty
loving institutions in different parts of
the United States. In the rooms were
found vast quantities of anarchistic
literature and correspondence, indicat-
ing that anarchists have abiding places
either in the persons or groups of in
dividuals in New York, Chicago, Denver
and other points.
A large number of cyphers and cypher
communications which were brought to
light indicated the existence of general
and a secret mode of communication.
One of these cyphers, enclosed in an en-
velope, bearing a New York date. ap-
peared to be based upon the Hebrew
alphabet. This appeared to dove-tail in
with a second that appearedt to be simply
a combination of unintelligible scrawls,
and this, by figures, on its back, was ap-
parently a key to third, in the form of
an ingenious geometrical chart, with
numerous curves, each different from
the other.
A linen railroad map of the United
States had upon it three marks intended
to indicate air lines between New York
and Chicago. and these were marked at
intervals with figures, which related to
cypher words ON the back.
So extensive was the supply of an
archistic literature found in the place
as to indicate that it must have been
used as headquarters for the distribu-
tlon of this dangerous stuff through the
country. There were numerous copies
of Freedom. rabidly anarchistic sheet,
emanating from Chicago and edited by
Lucy Parsons. the dusky relict of the
executed anarchist. The paper was
filled with matter bloodthirsty and
bombastic, some of the articles calling
upon anarchists to pull down the wage
question and wage slavery.
One copy contained letter from a
local anarchist, telling Mrs. Parsons that
her paper as truly advocates and defends
the principles of revolutionary comistic
anarchism as did The Alarm, edited by
her husband, and pledges for it the
loyal support of all the Comrades"
hereabouts.
There was also a bundle of another
Chicago anarchistic sheet named Casa
lift, printed on deep red paper, and Of
Herr Most's Freheit. Some had black
and others with red borders.
OF various communications in Ger
man, and written from widely separated
places, there was enough to fill small
satchel, while as finale, the police came
across packet of tickets for rattle of a
fine relief picture of the five martyrs of
the working class, Spies, Parsons, Lingg,
Engel and Fisher, the proceeds to 60
''for the benefit of the English agitation"
and the rattle to be held next month.
knold is still at the Central station
and information of some kind will be
made against him in order to secure his
detention. The police We're in consulta-
tion with the law officials of the county
Tuesday morning on this point He
will probably be charged with conspir-
acy and with being particeps criminus
to the shooting: He is very unlikely to
secure bail, for his employers, who had
no knowledge Of his anarchistic temper
ament, have declined to stand by him,
and the combined available. capital of
the anarchist colony of Allegheny will
probably not reach fftieth part of the
amount that may be demanded for his
appearance:
All the available detectives of the city
are engaged on search for satchel
carried by Berkman when he entered
the city, as it is thought it may contain
documents or other matter which may
afford additional clews to the conspiracy.
1t is not at the hotel nor at the Union
station, and the police think that he
may have left it in some saloon. 1t is
of the telescope variety and grayish
color. -.
