LEADER OF REDS
IS IN THE Tolls
Paul Bignani, a Talkative Local
Anarchist, Is Arrested
by R0cca
Detective Attends Meetings and
Hears Dennnciati0n of ALI
Governments

Paul Bignani, leader OF a band of
anarchists, was arrested late Tuesday
night in Parodi Campodonico's sa-
loon at Stockton and Union streets by
Detective Rocca- His name was placed
on the small" book at the city prison,
and yesterday afternoon. under instruc-
tions of Captain Kelly, Rocca took Big
mani to the ONCE of the immigration
commissioner for examination
Four other suspected anarchists were
arrested by Rocca last night in the
same restaurant They were Joseph
Gulianeto, Carlo Anguro, Augusta Noe
chi and Carlo Delvoni- Three of these
were charged with having made a
threat to kill Officer Rocca- They
were placed on the detinue book.
Rocca was detailed some weeks ego
by Captain Kelly to ascertain if there
were any anarchists in the North beach
district He discovered that men pro-
Tossing anarchistic beliefs met every
Sunday In a vacant lot in Vallejo
street near Powell, and he succeeded
in being able to listen to their speeches
without his Identity being discovered.
He says that their utteranc.es were of
the most rabid description, iuveighing
against all governments, particularly
the government of the United States:
others in authority. The hope was also
expressed that the big Atlantic feet
would be blown to pieces before reach
ing this port
According to Rocca Bignani took the
leading part at these meetings, and
at nights he had always d crowd of
interested followers in Parodi & Cam
podonico's saloon which. he said. seemed
to be their headquarters. Bignani
had particular aversion to the police,
and often declared that no member of
the force was able to arrest him. When
Rocca arrested him he was as meek as
a lamb.
Bignani did not deny that he was
an anarchist and that he did not be-
lieve in governments as, he said, they
were no good. When asked what he
would substitute for governments. he
replied, Freedom for everybody.
When pressed for a more definite an
swer he took refuge in the reply that it
would all be found in books published
all over the world on the subject. He
said he had been in this country four
years, and came here about two years
ago from pew Orleans. He was born
in the northern part of Italy and was
a plasterer by trade, but acknowledged
he had not worked at his trade since
arriving here He is a single man and
