But when wounded, lying powerless
and helpless on the field, the enemy
descending on them, fear of the un-

them, has wrung groans from hearts

ed Of having poisoned the soup which

principally against the church and
churchmen. The trail OF the conspir.

Hunt said that he hac the names OF
most of the members and that de.
tectives have been instructed to
search for them. He named Frank
Allegrini, In whose room anarchistic
letters and literature was found, as
one Of the men. The names of the
alleged anarchists are said to have
been taken from the letters. They
were written In 1915 and are said to
disclose widespread plot, extending
to Rome, Italy, to destroy churches
and church property Of all creeds. Ac.
cording to Detective Sergeant Paul
Riccio, who aided in translating the
letters from the Italian In which they
were written, the headquarters of the
society was in Rome.
Efforts were made, 1t was said. to
