The Man Under Arrest.

an anarchist meeting at Workman'e
hall, with Averbuch last Sunday night
and who is declared by the police to
have been the slain assassin's most in
Innate companion. Maron and Aver
buch were together throughout the
| meeting and are said to have left the
! hall together after the meeting After
| his arrest Maron was taken to the Max
| well street police station and closely
questioned. For time he refused to
admit his identity but finally acknow-
ledged that he had known Averbuch
for some time and that they had at
| tended anarchist meetings together.
! Considerable anarchistic literature was
| found in his possession when he was
| searched at the station.
| According to Detectives OBrien and
OConnell, Maron went to the homes
of a number of persons living in the
immediate vicinity of Averbuch's home
| early today and made inquiries as to
Averbuch. Maron, the police say, can
not read English and speaks the lang
uage badly. After he had been ques-
toned at the Maxwell street police
station, Chief of Police Shippy and
Assistant Chief Schuettler were notified
! of his arrest and they ordered that the
man be taken at once to the city hall.
A patrol wagon was Immediately called
| and Maron was quickly transferred to
Assistant Chief Schuettler's Office
| In addition to Maron three other per-
| sons are being held by the police in
connection with the attempted assassi-
nation of Chief Shippy Their names
| ter of Chief Shippy's assailant; Tono-
tbs Korimores, bar tender and Ed

| ness partner, was arrested early today
after the police had intercepted tele-
phone message. sergeant was using
the telephone when the wires became
crossed and he heard some one say to
Berman:
For Gods sake, get out of town.
They're on;" Siege1 was released after
| being severely questioned. The police
say they have received information
that Berman's shop was the congre-
eating place for a crowd of men who
visited it nightly. Olga Averbuch, the
sister of the dead assassin, is being held
at the woman's quarters at the Harri-
son street police station She slept but
, little during the night, crying most OF
| the time. Detectives worked all night
! in a futile attempt to get some trace
/ of Averbuch's other relatives-mother.
| sister and brother-who are said to be
/ in Chicago. Miss Averbuch admitted
| that they were here, but refused to say
where they could be found According
| to attendants at Augustana hospital,
where Harry Shippy was taken yester-
