ANARCHISTS PLOT is FOuED.
As Bomb i'm New York Cathedral
SputterS, Detectives Rush In.

New York, March 2.-Police head
quarters announced this afternoon
that Frank Abarno, arrested to-day
after he had tried to blow up St.
Patrick's cathedral, had confessed to
the existence of a plan to bring a
reign Of terror in this city which
would include the assassina ton of
Andrew Carnegie, John ID. Rookie
feller, Cornelius Vanderbilt and other
wealthy men.
The anarchists, according to the
police, were to inaugurate in New
York city n reign of terror compara-
bic only to the days of the French
revolution.
IT was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed with
rifles and revolvers, to appear stimuli
taneously in various parts of the city
to shoot and to pillage The biggest
banks Of New York city were to be
blown up. Many wealthy men we're
to be slain.
The wrecking OF the cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening Of
the elaborate campaign OF murder
and looting. The next move, ac-
cording to the police, was to place
bombs in the homes Of Andrew Car
| negie, the Rockefellers and Cornelius
Vanderbilt. So far had the plot
progressed toward this end that man

already had been started.
Detective I'm Inner Circle.
For months>a q central office detec-
| tive had worked in the inner circle
Of the anarchists, according to the
police story, and had kept the detec-
| tive bureau advised OF all their plans
| This detective, Frank Baldo, assisted
in the manufacture Of the bomb with
which the attempt was made to-day
! to blow up the cathedral The de-
| tective accompanied the bomb
| thrower to the edifiCe and sat with
him while he lighted the bomb and
| hurled it at the altar.
| Immediately the cathedral, in
| which 500 persons sat at worship,
became alive with detectives whose
presence had been unsupported by
| the bomb carrier. Baldo, sitting be-
| side him, placed him under arrest;
detectives sitting in the pew behind
dashed into the aisle and stamped
out the sputtering fuse. There was
| no panic, for the congregation hardly
realized what had happened when it
was all over.
At police headquarters the alleged
bomb throwcr said he was Frank
Abarno, a lithographer "a years ord.
! Soon after he was taken to headquar-
| tprs, detectives acting on informa-
! ton given them by Baldo, arrested
| Charles CarbOne, an lS-year-old
| boy, and charged him with compile
! ity in the plot and with helping to
| make the bomb.

\, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH B. 1918.
ALLEN GREEN SENT TO COURT.
Magistrate Dendy Did Not Feel JUS
titled in Dismissing Defendant.

The preliminary hearing il the
case Of the State vs.. Allen Gree, COL
ored, charged with statutory rape.
was held before Magistrate ]. b. S.
Dendy last Friday afternoon. The
case was originally set for hearing
Wednesday morning, but when it was
called it was found that the prosecu-
triX was not to be found. Investiga-
tion revealed the fact that she was
not at her home, and it was later
learned that she was on the road
from Walhala to the Tamassee sec
ton, travelling in buggy with a
driver. The constables dispatched
in that direction failed to return
with her The next day the woman
was located at Newry and was
brought back by Constable Joe c..
Garrison.
At the close OF the hearing Magis-
trate Dendy announced that he
would send the case up to the SeS-
sions Court for hearing, where it
could be passed upon by the grand
jury, as he did not feel like taking
the responsibility Of dismissing it,
as, to his mind, there was probable
case. Green was, therefore, re-
manded to the Jail to await the ac-
ton Of the grand jury.
There have been various rumors
set afioat as to this case, the COM
plainant disappea prior to the
calling of the case giving great scope
for the imagination to work. Some
claimed that the complainant had
! been spirited away by parties con-
nected with the defense, while 9TH
ers maintained that the charge
against the negro was a trumped-up
affair ard the complainant feared to
face the music at a trial Just what
motives led to the woman leaving at
the time she did has not, so far as
we have heard, been explained.
There has never at any time been
the slightest excitement over the
case. Everybody has been perfectly
quiet and content to let the law take
its course. There seems 10 be a
wide difference of opinion, some feel
ing that the case is one Of persecu-
tion of the negro, while others feel
that there is some ground for the
charge having been preferred.
At all events, Magistrate Dendy
adopted the safe course in sending
the case up to the Sessions Court for
consideration at the hands OF the
grand jury, and if need be to be
threShed out before petit jury.
