Chicago May 15.--Advices were re-
ceived from the police in New York
that it was thought that the internal
machine which was taken to the
Cunard docks was made in Chicago
by a man named G.. Russell, living at
247 Washington Boulevard.
The house at that number is kept
by Mrs. Ethan She said that
man apparently about so years Of age,
who gave his name as G. Russell, had
lived in her house for three weeks
prior to April 25. en- which day he left,
saying that he intended to go cast.
The woman srid that during his stay
in her house he was engaged in some
mysterious work and kept his door al
ways locked.
She saw enough Of what he was do
ing. she said, to know that II had
something to do with clocks. and that
he was always arranging some ma
chinery that had a number of wheels
in it. When he appeared at the Ehlan
house and engaged board he is said
to have carried a small grip. Within
two or three days tools and pieces of
mechanism began to arrive. His ex-
PLANTATION to Mrs. Ethan was that he
was an inventor, and that his con-
trivance was a new gambling device.
The Chicago police have discovered
three men, who, it is believed, unsus.
pectingly assisted the mysterious &c.
RUSSELL in manufacturing his deadly
device. The men are: ]. W. Seymour,
carpenter; j. W. Elsenburg, black
smith, and John Clarke, machinist,
whose shops are in the vicinityNof the
apartment occupied by Russell in
Washington boulevard. During the
week Russell roomed across the
street, said Seymour. Il planed down
four strips of wood about 20 inches
long for man answering his descrip-
ton. who said he had a patent of some
kind. believe he said it was a gam
bling device"
Some time ago." said Clarke, "a
man came to my shop and asked for
assistance in making a gambling ma,
chine. He said il was something new
in the way of a gambling device. We
made him a cone. with an inch base,
and a disk TO fit it. He first said that
he wanted only one pair of the iron
pieces, but later asked for three more
pairs. He never called for the addi
tional pieces. The man answers the
description of the mysterious stranger
known at PSI Washington Boulevard
as g. c. Russell.
Chief of Detectives McCluslky and
Detective Sergeants Carey and Fun
ston, of New York, were here follow
ing the trunk check clue. Inspector
McClusly returned to New York, but
left his two detectives here to assist
the local police on the case. Before
leaving for the east the inspector said:
Il believe the machine was made in
Chicago. and that the conspiracy. if
ane existed, was Matched here. We
have the entire detective force of New
York at work on the case, and we are
looking for startling developments
soon"
Lieutenant Rohan, OF the Chicago
detective bureau, would not say
whether he believed that the mysteri-
GUS &c. RUSSELL or Rousseau" is in
Chicago, but the fact that the lieu
tenant kept his men on the run is
taken as an indication that he had
reason to believe the dynamiter is in
Chicago.
