CATHOLIC PRIEST
TELLS QUEER TALE
OF 6LAckMAlL, AND ExToRTIoN
OF MONEY.
Justice Of the Peace, an Attorney and
Another Locked Up on the
Charges.

Chicago, July 18.--Isaac Hartman, a
justice of the peace in one of the sub
urbs OF the city; M. j. Maloney, a law
yer, and II. S. Nye. man supposed to
be in the employ of Hartman, were
lrcked up this afternoon on a charge
of tlackmail and extortion of money,
preferred by Rev. Laurence Erhard, a
German Catholic priest on the south
side. The story is a singular one and
has rot yet been made clear. From
Erhard's story it seems that the men
arres,eG have been bleeding him for
some time past, and today demanded
thousand dollars, bringing the to-
tal amount he has paid them to more
than $4,000. This was demanded un-
der threat of making public some
thing concerning Erhard's past career
which 1t seems he was desirous to con-
Gel.
When he appeared at the Chicago
National bank, where his money was
kept, and wanted $1,000, the cashier,
who knew the priest well and had no.
ticed the frequent Withdrawals of
rather large sums recently, asked him
to slep into the Office of the president,
John X. Walsh. Mr.. Walsh questioned
Erhard closely and finally told him he
believed he was being made a victim
OF tlackmailers. At this Erhard broke
down and told his story. Mr.. Walsh
telephoned the police headquarters and
arranged for detectives to follow Err
hare to the Office in La Sale street,
where the money was to bc paid over.
The officers waited outside, heard the
conversation and then arrested the
three men named. Erhard has been
induced to push the case against them
strongly.
The interesting discovery was made
by the detectives that Justice Hart
man, when in the La Sale street office
is John Hoffman, attorney, and that
he has another Office in the downtown
distr ct, where he poses as James Har-
Els, also an attorney. Interesting de-
vtlopments are expected.

DEADLY PINE CONE BOMB.

Marvelously Ingenious Mechanism
Made by Barcelona Anarchists.
The small ball Of metal in the shape
of pine cone picked up by M. Chav-
igny in Paris a few minutes after the
attempt against Alphonso XIII and
President Loubet was made, was real
~ one Of the famous bombs sent to
France by the anarchists Of Barcelona.
NJ. Chavigny, happening to see this
cone, little thought he was in the pres
ence Of a deadly machine. Being a
great collector Of relics, he evidently
thought 1t was piece Of grille work
torn Off BY the explosion that had just
happened, and put 1t carefully in his
vest pocket.
M. Chavigny went to call on friend
in a tavern situated on one Of the
boulevards. He told his friend about
the explosion and exhibited the piece
Of metal he had picked up and SO
carefully thrust into his pocket. The
head Of a bolt covering the lower
aperture Of the pine cone drew the
friends attention, and they started to
unscrew this bolt. An end of waxed
thread, holding in place a glass tube,
appeared.
Then M. Chavigny realized that this
ball Of metal was not the result of the
explosion, but a bomb itself.
With the greatest of precautions the
head Of the screw was replaced and
ten minutes later M. Chavigny placed
the pine cone on the desk Of M. Pes
chard, the police commissioner Of the
Gallon quarters, who Immediately In
formed NJ. Girard, director of the mu-
nicipal laboratory.
NJ. Glrard unscrewed the bolt, and
by pulling the waxed thread drew
forth two small glass tubes, four cent?
meters long, filled with concentrated
sulphurlc acid.
These tubes were plunged into =
mass Of illuminate mercury, and were
