The dynamite used in the attempt at
wholesale murder was procured from a
magazine about fifty yards from the
Canada hotel.
The Trail Is Taken Up.
Rovalli was arrested by Constable
Dinsmore. and then the chase after
Ciddeo was begun. The story of this
pursuit is best told in the narrative of
William John Dewitt, chief constable of
the provincial police of British Column
bia, who has been in the city for some
days. Mr.. Devitt's story, briefly put,
is about as follows:
"Ciddeo made his way to Midway. and
thence to Oroville, just across the boun-
dairy, secreted under load of hay.
Thence he made his way to Wenatchee.
in Washington, travelling in a wagon
driven by Tony Piller. He had dis
guised himself so far as to shave off
his mustache. which was quite promi-
nent and to cut the tops from his red
high boots From Wenatchee we traced
him to Spokane thence to Portland.
In Portland the Pinkertons located
him, but. with the help of money pro-
vided by a collection taken up among
the Italians of that city, he escaped
and went to Colorado. Thither he was
trailed and thence to Salt Lake.
Il find from a checking of the records
that the man has been in Salt Lake
about year. It was my purpose in
coming here to examine the payrolls
and take such other steps to make the
Identification of CiddeO complete. Cap
tain Smyth will tell you what happened
afterward."
Arrested in Jail.
Captain Lucien Smyth, chief deputy
United States marshal, said:
when Mr.. Dewitt had made sure OF
his man, he came to the United States
authorities for assistance. The man
was not known here by the name OF
Ciddeo and all that could be relied upon
as a means of Identification was the
minute description possessed by Mr..
Dewitt 1t had become known to US
that CiddeO had been employed by the
Oregon Short Line on its extra gang,
its section work and in other like ca
pacities. Constant watch in the ital-
ian colony gave Mr.. Dewitt the bass
for requesting the custody of the man
now in custody.

Stunned With Amusement.
..ThereuDon we walked. up the street
until we met Mr.. Dewitt. He / intro

employment given in the proper way
within the Office l turned TO Bosso
and notified him that he was under ar
rest nv authorities of the United
states. at the request of the Canadian
government BOsso was stunned with
amazement for a time, but when he re-
covered he was questioned by Mr. De-
witt. Mr. Dewitt first plainly and clear
w informed him that any statements
he might make to him might be used
against him in case he were brought
to trial on any charge. Then Mr.. De-
witt questioned him about as follows:
Is not your name Francisco Cid
deo?
Yes
Have you been in British Column
bia?'
Yes
...Do Won know where the Canada
hotel in Niagara is?'
He said he did.
- Did you carry powder into that
hotel to blow it up?
Yes
" Did you set off the powder that
blew up the hotel?'
Yes
DO you know that that explosion
killed Louise King?'
Indicates His knowledge.
For the first time the prisoner gave
what might be taken to be an evasive
answer. yet he nodded his head in the
affirmative-that he did know that
Louise King had been killed in the eX-
plosion.'
Proceedings have been Instituted for
the extradition of Ciddeo. 1t is said by
the officers that the prisoner has indi-
Gated Willingness 10 return WITHOUT
the formality of processes reaching
through the state department, in
which event, of course, he will merely
be taken back; but if he resists extra
dition the machinery of the state de-
partment will be set in motion. The
first step is the designation of a COM
missioner, before whom the testimony

Baldwin having been designated, has
appointed next Monday as the time for
the consideration of affidavits.
