afternoon and asked for superintendent
Powell. He told the Superintendent the
following story: II keep a bakery at No. 30
South Capitol avenue. -Four weeks ago I

situation to Wolf Goldberg, who was then
residing in Chicago. and he accepted the
job. After the first few days 1 thought he
was working in league with another baker

spelling my bread SO as 10 drive my trade
to this baker. 1 told him that the bread
would have TO be better or / would dis
charge him. We had a little argument
about the matter. and he said he would

got my son Max TO help me. We threw
him out of the store. While Goldberg was
in my employ he was always talking So
cialism and praising the Anarchists. He
seemed delighted when President Carnot
of France was killed. He wanted me To
become an Anarchist. but l would not.
When he left he left a pair Of overalls,
which he was accustomed TO wear when
working. He left them hanging on a rail
in the store. This morning, as L was work
ing in my store, / happened to touch the
overalls. / felt something heavy in the
pockets and, on looking into them. found
two dynamite bombs. / was too scared 10
touch them, because / do not know how 10
handle those kind of weapons. i am posi-
tive that Goldberg is an Anarchist, and
that he had the bombs and was some sort
of an agent in this city for the Chicago
Ana chists."
Superintendent Powell Immediately sent
officers to investigate. Sergeant Schwab
and patrolmen Tomlinson and Asche were
sent to the bakery to get the alleged
bombs. Up to the time the bombs were
found by the police there was more than
usual excitement. I'm police circles. II was
thought that the hiding place, or. at least,
a member Of a society Of Anarchists in
this city, was located. When the officers
