All the Detectives in the
World After Him.
He Has Been Living in San Francisco
for Some linn.
The Chronicle Reviews His Career
Since He Fled From Chicago.

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 riot in Chi
cago, on May a, 1856, has been a
resident OF that city for several months,
disappeared a few days ago, and
ii 10 said now Is on his way
10 Brazil. According to The
Chronicle, the conjecture OF the police
that Schnaubelt fled TO Mexico was cor
rect. He remained in that country
several years, and then went to Rio de
Janeiro, where he found work in gov
ernment machine shop.
The breaking out of the revolution gave
Schnau belt splendid opportunity tc put
n play his training as a member of
the celebrated anarchistic 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 bonn bs for use as hand grenades
that provedof nestimable value to storm
ing parties, but his radical ut
terances about law and govern
ment soon caused him TO fall
under suspicion, and he had to fly from
Brazil From there he was traced as far
as the 1sthmus of Panama. Then no
went -Los-Angeles whsre-he
stopped long time, and was
married. Then he came to San Francisco,
and from here proceeded to Vallejo,
where he was during the railway strike.
The man answers Schnaubelt's descript-
ion and is believed to be the Haymsrket
anarchist, for whom all the detectives in
the world have been seeking since the
night OF the tragedy.
