unable TO say for several days whether he

All the Italians who are in Jail at Mont
pelier charged with completely in the at
tempted murder will be given preliminary
hearing in city court, Barre, Wednesday
morning. January Those who were ar
raigned yesterday before Judge Fay in
Barre we're remanded without bail
Dominica and Joseph Comol, who were
brought from West Berlin Thursday after
noon by Deputies Tracy and Tempeton,
upon being examined at Barre were dis
charged, as they easily proved their limo
cence and general good character.
Early Thursday afternoon at the request
OF States Attorney Hoar, City Sheriff Ban
croft was called upon to hunt for two lta-
ians OF this city, Giuseppe Chicardo and AL
eide Bgszz, the last named being the one
most wanted by the police,as he is believed
| to be the chief mover in thu plot.
Officer Bancroft, with Sheriff Graves and
| Deputies French and Templeton, at once
! proceeded TO this boarding house OF Rocco
Lott on Barre street which they surround
ed. thorough search failed to reveal the
men looked for. Upon the suggestion of
Officer Bancroft that he might succeed bet
ter alone, his companions left him and he
| made thorough search Of the stone sheds
and OF several houses at the Pioneer viii
| lage. At one Of these he found Cbcardo
/ anu WlUu MIN unuer arrest connected WIN
the car on which Sheriff Graves was taking
the Comolis to Barre. When Chicardo was
searched the only weapon found upon him
was a razor in one of his hin pockets.
Thursday evening Officer Bancroft
searched the italian quarter without search
warrant and alone until eleven o'clock
without finding BigazZi. He resumed the
search again this morning and succeeded in
| finding the man at the Pioneer village He
was thoroughly searched by the officer, but
nothing in the way Of weapons was found
upon him He accompanied the officer to
| Barre, where he was bound up with the
rest until next Wednesday, and came to the
Jail here this afternoon quietly and without
its being necessary to use bracelets. Seven
men in all are now in Jail here out of the
nine arrested.
Four of the men under arrest are from
this city and the men are kept separated
from each other as far as possible in tn
jail.
When seen at the Jail this afternoon the
men did not appear to be concerned over
the gravity OF their position but rather ap-
peared to ACCEPT their confinement with
the stoicism Of the Indian, occupying the
time in either pacing their prison or looking
over the illustrated magazines provided for
them.
Fredian and Battaglia were not taken
before Officer Brown Thursday afternoon
| for identification as was intended, but it
was planned by States Attorney Hoar that
this would be done today, but probably
will not as Frediani is suffering from
pleurisy about the heart and is now under
the care of physician.
A mystery at present exists as to the own
ership of 80 calibre revolver found Thurs
day afterno DON near the Car track opposite
the Broggi house at the Pioneer village by
Joseph POulin. Two of the chambers had
been discharged and the weapon is now in
| the nuatOdU Of the Atataia Mr.
Hoar saw either Frediani or Bigazzi on an
| electric car on Thursday take something
from his pocket and throw it from the car
when at this point He notified the officers
of this incident and the result was TIE find
ing OF the revolver. Both men named are
about of a size and both dressed in light
colored suits, and as the States attorney
has not seen either OF them since their ar
rest he can not say which one threw away
the revolver, but can easily determine which
when he sees the men. This is considered
a very important factor in the case.
Officer Bancroft said today that to his
knowledge there were only seven or eight
anarchists in this city and they have con-
fined their enthusiasm over their doctrines
to exhibitions with their more numerous
colleagues in Barre.
States Attorney Hoar said to JOURNAL
| reporter this afternoon he Is now positive
that Frediani was the man who threw away
the revolver and had identified him. He
also ssid that Saturday he shall issue new
papers against the men now in Jail. The
new papers will contain charges against the
menlin seven counts, murder in the first,
second and third degrees, manslaughter,
being armed with dangerous weapon, as
sault with intent to kill and simple assault.
He believes the plot included another be-
sides Chief Brown. That was an Italian
named Melurine who was at the anarchists
dance and whom the anarchists believed
was a socialist and had trouble with that
night and, it is alleged, laid in wait for
after the dance was over. 1t is also claimed
that the anarchists had had it in for Chief
Brown since last year when he served
papers upon them, signed by the States at
torney and Mayor Gordon, closing the an
archist meeting in Barre which Emma Gold
