and Carl Knold were yesterday commit
ted to Jail for the action Of the grand
jury. There were two charges against
them. The first was conspiracy and
the other accessory to the attempted
murder of q. G. Frick before and after
the fact
A half hundred people were yesterday
attracted to the hearing Of Bauer and
Knold before Judge Gripp at Central
station. The report that these men
had aided in the attempted murder Of
Mr.. Frick attracted the crowd. All
looked foE something startling to be
brought out in the testimony. The evil
dence adduced, with few exceptions,
revealed little that was not already
known. Several supposed anarchists
were interested listeners at the hearing,
and after it had been completed sat
down In q, corner OF the room and open
cd q conversation with Paul Eckert, a
witness for the commonwealth and an
Anarchist sympathizer.
PAUL EcKERr's TESTIMONY.
The interest of the commonwealth
was looked after by Superintendent
o'Mara. Joseph Friedman defended
Bauer and Knold. Paul Eckert was
the first witness called. He lives at
No. 5 Cherry street, Allegheny. knold
lived in the same house.
Eckert said Berkman lived with him
from July IA to July %. In answer to
Magistrate Grips questions the wit
ness said that he knew both defend
ants, having seen them at his house.
When Berkman came he said that he
was printer and was looking for work.
The witness admitted that there was
hand-press at his home owned by the
International Workingmen's Associa-
ton, and upon which anarchist circu-
lars were printed. The circulars dis
tributed at Homestead were printed on
the same press This press was oper-
ated by tho members OF the association,
and the witness had often operated 1t
himself. The witness saw Bauer at the
house three or four times and saw him
talking to Berkman. Bauer and Berk-
man talked on different subjects;
among others on the Homestead strike.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Fried
man, Eckert said that Berkman had
slept at the house, but he could not tell
what he did during the day as the wit
ness was a:teamster and worked during
the day. OF the defendants, Knoll was
locksmith and Bauer was agent for
labor literature. During the time that
Berkman was at the witness house
Knold was working, except the day that
Berkman said he was going away; this
was the Friday before the shooting.
BERKMAN SAID HE WAS GOING TO CHICAGO.
Berkman left the house about 1880
a. m. on that day, and told them that
he was going to Chicago. The witness
did not see Berkman after that. and he
did not know whether Berkman had
ever tried during his stay in, this city
to get woFk at any of the newspaper of
fees.
3. W. Hill, whose place Of business
isopposite Mr.. Tricks Office on Fifth
avenue. testified he had seen Berkman
since his arrest, but was not positive as
to having seen him before the shooting.
Shortly after the shooting of Mr.. Frick
the witness said his attention was at
@tracted to man on Fifth avenue who
was rushing about and pointing al the
window in Mr.. Tricks Office. This man
was tall and stout with flowing black
mustache, and he wore straw hat and
q light coat. The man seemed to be
more interested than others on the
street, and. the witness thought he was
an employe Of Mr.. Tricks Office from
the interest he was taking in the shoot
ing. Mr.. Hill could not swear posi-
lively as to Bauer being the man. Bauer
here put on a light grey coat, and after
looking very closely the witness said
that he thought the coat worn by the
man he saw was OF a darker shade and
of heavier material.
WHAT Was FOUND IN Knobs ROOMS
James Steele, of the Allegheny de-
tectiye force, testified to having visited
No. 5 Cherry street, Allegheny, in COM
pany with Detective Shore, of the
Pittsburg force, and the latter had a
talk with Paul Eckert and secured the
information upon which he arrested
Knold. Witness made examination Of
the house and found lot of incendiary
literature, books, papers, etc. all OF
these were found in the apartment oc-
cupied BY; Knold. They we're in a

and stopped there until the 9th.
KNoLD POINTS OUT THE OFFICE
On the Saturday preceding the shoot
ing Berkman came to Taylor & Deans
store, on Market street. where KnOld
was working, and about o'clock they
started up Fifth avenue. The witness
