SAN Francisco, May 13.-The Chron-
icle publishes page story from Vallejo
this morning to the effect that Rudolph
Schnaubelt, the anarchist who threw the
bomb at the Haymarket in Chicago on
May 4, 1885, has been a resident of that
city for several months. He disappeared
few days ago it is said, and is now on
his way to Brazil.
According to the Chronicle the con-
lecture of the police that Schnaubelt
fed to Mexico was correct He remain
ed in that country several years and then
went to Rio de Janeiro where he found
work in a government machine shop.
The breaking out of the revolution gave
Schnaubelt d splendid opportunity to
pnt in play his training as member of
the anarchist group that developed bomb
maker Ling and as he cast his lot with
the, revolutionary party he soon found
favor in the eyes of Its leaders.
He made bombs for use as hand
grenades that proved of inestima-
bic value to storming par
ties, but his radical utterances
him to fall under suspicion and he had
TO fly from Brazil From there he was
traced as far as the isthmus of Panama.
Then he went to Los Angeles where he
stopped long time aud was married.
Then he came to San Francisco and from
there to Vallejo, where he was during
the railroad strike.
Whether he participated in that strike
or not only those who were aware of his
identity could tell, but judging from his
tendency in the past to rush into any
trouble that presented itself, 1t 10 hardly
likely that he avoided the chance to deal
q hl0vxy 70 No ax hot hod mazda him a
fugitive from its justice.
The man who answers Schuaubelt'z
description and is believed to be the
| Haymarket anarchist for whom all the
detectives in the world have been seek
| ing since the night of the tragedy, has
resided at Vallejo for year
Schnaubelt's mother and brothers,
| Edward and Hermann, came to Caii-
fornia in 1885. Hermann was in De
Norte county retaining tract of gov
eminent land that he had taken up Since
then Edward has lived in various places
in the state, but for four or five year
past he has made his residence in Vale
| 10, working at times in the navy yart
machine shops on Mare Island, and a
other times conducting various lines o
business with which he became asso
ciaied
About a month ago the mysteriou
81 lger disappeared. Now he is sup
posed to be in Brazil. A few days be
fore his disappearance it was noticed
that he devoted great deal of attention
to Mrs. SchnaubeIt, whom he assisted il
making preparations for journey t
Chicago.
1 his fact, taken together with othe
peculiar circumstances, first lead to tn
conclusion that Mrs. Schnaubelt was hi
mother and that he was no other thai
the notorious Chicago anarchist.
Edward Schnaubelt, Rudolph's brother
was seen yesterday, but refuses
to say whether the anarchis
had been in the city. Whe
in Vallejo the anarchist resided in tn
cottage of Mrs. Harriet Lake. When tn
strike was raging the tiercest last sum
mer she noticed that the Schnaubelt
were active. Lights flashed out on thei
house at all hours of the night aud sh
saw Edward Schnaubelt come and G
with big black valise.
The big, broad shouldered man wit
the pompadour hair was there all tn
time and the description she gives o
him is that of the famous Rudolph VIII
