upon his own impulses. and imbued with
the idea that he was doing the country
service by ridding it OF a great iron mas
ter Instead. IL was an outcome of q con.
spiracy OF the worst elements OF the Rus
sian anarchists deliberately conceived,
and Bergman, the would be assassin, was
either the tool or the willing ally Of the
conspirators. This is the conclusion that
the leading police authorities Of Pitts
burg have arrived. at and they claim 20 be
supported In II by advioes from New
York which they refuse to make public at
present for fear that justice may be
thwarted.
The first and important link In the
chain Of evidence pointing toward this
conclusion was found yesterday In the ar
rest Of local anarchist with whom Berg
man had been living for more than a
week. and TO whose abode he appears to
have gone at the suggestion Of the notori-
Gus Herr Most. The mans name Is Karl
Knold and he lives on Cherry street, o
small thoroughfare across the river In
Allegheny. 1t was through the officers Of
the Adams Express company. In this city.
that the police learned yesterday that
Two Packages Containing Currency
and addressed to Bergman had arrived
from New York some days ago and had
been delivered to Knold's address The
police Immediately made descent on
knold's house, and his replies to questions
put to him not being satisfactory, he was
at once put under arrest and brought to
the central station In this city
Here, upon being interrogated. he ad-
mitted that ergman had come straight
to his house upon his arrival from New
York on July H. and had remained with
him until last Fridsy-a period Of eight
days. When asked II he had ever had any
knowledge OF Bergman before, he replied
I'm the negative, but said that the anar.
chist had explained that he had got his
(knolds) address from Herr Most. Knold
went on To say, after considerable hesita-
tion, that the second day after Bergman's
arrival he wrote to Most asking for In
formation concerning his visitor, aud that
he received a reply advising him to have
nothing TO do with him.
This letter, knold went on TO say, was
| destroyed Immediately after its receipt.
Bergman stopped with him until Friday
last when he said that he would return to
New York. According to his story Knold
accompanied him to the Union depot, saw
him through the gate and supposed that
be had seen the last OF him. He added,
however that when he heard Of the shoot
ing he was at once certain that
bergman Was the AssaiIant,
and that ever since he had been In mo-
mentary expectation OF arrest.
The police however, take no stock In
this story. They believe that Knold Is
closely connected with the New York
gang Of couspirators, that Bergman came
to his house AS part OF the plot and
II he was SO inclined. Knold could reveal
the entire conspiracy. They claim to have
ascertained during the afternoon that
Knold had not only shown Bergman the
| location Of the Carnegie company's Office,
| but also pointed Frick out to him, in or
| der that he might know his man when
| the moment came for carrying out his
| diabolical scheme.
| FrIcks Condition.
There is no change In the condition of
II. c. Frck that indicates that his chances
| for recovery are other than excellent. No
| symptoms of blood poisoning have de-
| veloped DIR. Litcbfeld hopes that his
| patient will DO able to be about In six
| weeks. Mr.. Frick was In considerable
pain throughout yesterday but gave little
| sigh that he was suffering. Frick insisted
| upon having the newspapers read to him
| and discussed che Homestead situation
| with some Of his callers. He expressed
| satisfaction that large number OF men
were at work at Homestead
Secretary Lovejoy said last evening:
| 'Mr. Frick is continuing as the active
executive head Of the company, and will
do so right along unless his condition
should incspacitate him. We have heard
from Andrew Carnegie. He will not
come from Scotland until September, un-
less the unexpected happens. We have
| COO men at work In the Homestead mills
The slabbing, plate and structural mills
| are being operated"
More Nom -Unionists at Work.
The fast westbound mail express on the
| Pennsylvania road, which Is not sched-
uled to stop at Swissvale, made q stop
near there yesterday, and two day coaches
| with the blinds closely drawn were un-
coupled. After the train had moved out
over 800 men alighted. The steamer Lit
tie Bill was in waiting at the landing at
| City Farm station. and the men were
taken over 10 the mill yard In patches.
| They are said TO be skilled steel workers
| from New York, Philadelphia aud Boston.
| There vas much excitement In the neigh
borhood OF the Union mills, owing to the
| report that non-union men would be put
| to work In response To n call from the
superintendent 100 extra police were as
signed 10 duty In the neighborhood but
everything was quiet, and the alarm
seemed to be without foundation.
Foremen Quit Work.

gusted with non-union men.
