PITTsBURG, July 80 Frederick Mollick,
Berkman's alleged arch-conspiratoF, is be-
hind the bars of the Central police sta
tion. He came in on the limited from
Philadelphia last night in custody of
Chief of Police OMara. Mollick is the
baker arrested at Long Branch for com
plicity with Alexander Berkman in the
attempt to assass!nate Mr. Frick and is
known to have sent money to the would
be-assassin several days prior to the shoot
ing.
When Chief O'Mara arrived with his
prisoner a crowd of several hundred peo-
pie, all eager to get glimpse of the sal
low faced suspect, were in waiting, and
followed the officer and culprit to the
police station. Mollick was Immediately

until the court sits in his case.
Mollick is a typical Anarchist. He
is under sized, not being more than 5 feet
5 or inches tall, is slightly built, has
black, bushy whiskers, pompadour hair
and smokes cigarettes incessantly He is
a dirty looking individual, and the one
thing lacking to complete his Anarchistic
appearance is a pair Of spectacles.
Mollick denied all knowledge of the
plot to kill Frick. He admitted his friend
liness towards Berkman, however, and
even went so far as to confess that he had
sent the latter money. He explained this
by saving that Berkman had once loaned
him money when he was hard up and he
returned the favor. Berkman wrote from
Pittsburg for the loan. He said he had
known Berkman for some time but had
not seen him since last fall.
singular fact that seems to add link
to the chain of evidence the police are
weaving around the suspect is his ac-
quaintance with Emma Goldman, Berk-
mans New York mistress. Among the
articles found on Molleck was telegram
from the German woman reading; Come
to New York at once; not dangerous"
Inspector McKelvey said last night that
they had evidence in their possession of a
murder plot of which Mr. Frick was to
be only one of the victims. The police, he
said, expected startling developments in a
few days. ''We were lucky to have cap
tured these men when we did," he said,
''as an attempt would have been made on
several of our prominent citizens, and
there is no telling where it would have
ended" He said that the police expected
that Knold would supply information to
the police when he saw the lines drawn
close about his fellow conspirators.
Paul Eckert, the Allegheny Anarchist,
who lived in the house with Knold was a
visitor at the Central Police station in the
morning He called to see Inspector Nickel
vey. They had a long conversation, but
what the result of it was no one can tell
but the parties interested. Eckert went
to see Knold and they had a long talk.
Paul Finster and August Pirnack, the
men arrested as suspicious characters be-
cause they inquired as to what cell Bauer,
| the Anarchist, occupied, have been dis
charged. There was not the slightest in
dication that they were in any way con-
nected directly with Bauer They are
Germans and thought they would be per-
mitted to see Bauer that they might col
lect some money he owed them.
The riot that occurred yesterday at
/ Whitehall Station on the train on which
non union men were being brought from
Cincinnati to work in the Homestead
mills will likely get into court. Attorney
Brennan, of the Amalgamated Associa'
| tion, said tn morning that within a few
days charges of conspiracy would be made
against the parties responsible for bring
ing the men to this city under misrepre-
sentation.

of an armed guard. Another had a thumb
chewed off, and nearly score of others
were badly bruised in an attempt to re-
gain their liberty.
When the train reached Pittsburg there
were only twenty-one men aboard, III
addition to the armed guards, the other
thirty-hve having escaped from the train
between the Whitehall station on the
Wheeling division and the depot in this
city.
When they left Cincinnati the men did
not know they were being taken to Home
stead, and when they found it out they
rebelled
This is how the riot had its inception.
They declare that the work was misrep-
resented to them in Cincinnati, and that
the first suspicion they had that all was
not right was when, few miles out OF
Cincinnati, the car doors were locked and
the windows fastened down, and although
the cars were sitting hot they were not
allowed to open the windows.
The man who employed them accom-
panied them on the train.
When they awoke after the nights ride
they were surprised TO find armed guards
ON the platform, and it was then that they
demanded to know where they were TO be
taken and were told to Homestead.
The puddlers then gathered around the
guard and demanded that the doors
be unlocked and that they be allowed Il
leave the car.
The guard refused TO let them pass ant
then the puddlers jumped on him.
Then there was terrible scene. Every
man in the car jumped from his seat
some making for the doors, others tried
to break through the windows and som'
got into a fight.
The guard stuck one of the puddleri
