"You may announce that we have
conclusive evidence that the bomb
used in the assassination of Governor
Stuenenberg was manufactured in room
No. l9 of the Saratoga hotel (the room
occupied by Hogan, and that the de-
tail Of the plan were probably formu-
lated there. "

that the evidence accumulated against
Hogan was overwhelming. He did not
feel justified in making much Of it pub
lie but was willing TO state that one
feature was the finding of Hogan's
shoes that he wore on the night of the
murder. He would not say where these
shoes were found, bat stated they were
wet when discovered. The shoes had
nails in the sOles, and these nails were
fitted perfectly into the tracks which
have all along been believed to have
been made by the assassin when escap-
ing from the scene.
Captain Swain said he did not ex-
pect to have any additional news to-
night, but he would be up bright an
early in the morning with some inn
portant work to DO attended to. He
gave the correspondent TO understand
that the evidence at hand justified sew
eral additional arrests. In a few hours
guilt would be positively fixed on some
body. Hogan, he believes, is guilty Of
manufacturing the bomb at least.
