 Detective Under Arrest. Another unusual development in the case which Commissioner Woods said he did not care to comment on for the present was the detention at po- lice headquarters, of Frank Baldo, th>, detective through whom headquarters had learned of the gangs alleged ac- tivities. Baldo was placed under arrest-technical arrest it was as sumed-and MT. Woods said that other anarchists besides Abarno and Carbone would be rounded up and arrested shortly in connection With the alleged plot. Baldo is the as- sumed name of the detective. His real name, MT. Woods said,. is Emelic Potignani He is 23 years old and was assigned to the investigation of the bomb outrages of last October and November Other young policemen some of them without previous ex- perience in detective work, were also assigned to the task. Commissioner Woods said that he was sure the ar T., st of Abarno and Carbone cleared up the mystery of the bomb throwing at St. Alphonse's church last Octo- Der.
 Missiles Most Deadly.
 Inspector Eagan of the bureau of combustibles thought that had the bomb exploded the destruction of life in, the cathedral would have been great. The missiles, he said, were the most deadly he had ever seen. They were about five inches in diam eter and contained many bits of iron and jagged steel In addition to gun powder other chemicals had been used in their manufacture. Baldo, the detective, was present when the explosives were purchased.
 Commissioner Woods explained why the bomb-carrier had been per mitted to light the bomb before he was arrested.
 Heavier Penalty Attached.
 "The penalty for having in your possession a bomb, or for making it, is not nearly so heavy as the penalty for lighting or throwing bomb," he said. T felt sure that the detec- tives could put out the fuse in time and l wanted to catch the bomb thrower red-handed."
 The young detective, Poignant, who assumed the name of Baldo, was re- garded by the anarchists it was said, as one of the widest and most daring of their number. Poignant was se- lected for the work while he was still in the school of recruits, the detec- tive bureau believing that an older policeman, possibly known to the anarchists, would be at a disadvan- tage. He had just served his pro- bationary period and this was his first assignment.
 Life in Peril.
 Poignant cultivated the acquain- tance of members of the Bresci group, spent money liberally and successfully passed the period of their suspicion. He lived with some of the anarchists in this city and also at their headquarters in Paterson, N. J., for a time, it was said, meantime placing his own life in peril by con- stantly communicating with police headquarters here.
 Had he wished to do otherwise, it was said, the detective would not have dared to leave the sight of the allged plotters as they were intense ly jealous, suspicious and watched each other closely as the plot neared its limitation.
 Abarno Makes Confession.
 It was announced at police head quarters this afternoon that Abarno had made a confession in which he admitted the existence of plan to comm ence a reign of terror in this city which would include the assassi- nation of Andrew Carnegie. John D. 1 Rockefeller Cornelius Vanderbilt and other wealthy men.
