A plot to blow up all the govern
ment buildings, kill the president ant
all public officials was revealed tt
Chief Wilkie in letter from crank
at Cleveland, %. The writer said that
40 anarchists had left for Washington
and would do their dastardly work
the next day. He implored the Off.
Gals to be on the lookout The funny
part of the letter was that if there
had been such plan it could have
been carried out before the letter ar
rived, as the writer had forgotten to
mail the letter for three days after he
had written it.
Sometimes there is absolutely no
connection in the ideas sought to be
conveyed by the writer. In Atlantic
City is a crank Of this kind. He
thinks himself student SO profound
that none understands his ideas.
Writing to Chief Wilkie, occasionally
understanding some phrase or sentence,
he says: "Will you pardon this lib
erty? Still, / thought it best to state
a few facts, and thought it takes q
very secure place to keep a secret.'

From Chattanooga, Tenn, Chief
Wilkie has been receiving letters from
man who says he is under "a magic
influence" and he wants detectives
sent to clear the whole matter up.
