SUSPECT SAYS THIRD INrERNA-

TACK ON INSTITUTION.

Warsaw.-A man by the name Of
Wolfe Lindenfeld, alias William Llnde,
has been arrested by the Polish police
here as suspect in connection with
the Wall street explosion In New York,
Sept. 10. 1870. The Warsaw police
said they made the arrest at the ~
quest of the American Department Of
Justice. They claimed to have In their
pOssession the mans full confession
Of being connected with the disaster.
Lindenfeld IL described AZ q cousin
Of Rosa Luxembourg, the German rad
teal Socialist leader. who was shot to
death In Berlin early In 1913. after
having been beaten by q mob.
His confession, the police state,
gives the names Of the ringieadsrs and
the New York city address where the
bomb was manufactured and says also
that the bomb was Intended for ]. p.
Morgan. hut exploded prematurely.
Sylvester CosgrOve, an American De-
partment of Justice agent, at whose
request In behalf of the department
the arrest Of the suspect was brought
about, declared that Lindenfeld has
agreed to turn states evidence and ID
willing to return to America, where
he has wife and two children In New
York.
The suspects written confession, &C
cOrdlng to the agent, says that $50, 900
was promised for the job, to be divided
among four or five persons. and that
the money was received by New York
communists from the Moscow Third
Interpationule.
Lindenfeld left New York early last
spring. The Polish police say he was
exposed in Warsaw In 1905 as Rus
sian secret agent, fleeing to America
shortly afterwards.
According to Cosgrove and Paul Al
tendorf, who trailed Lindenfeld. the
suspect in his confession names five
principals now In Europe. who shared
the money for the job. One Of the
principals, the confession shows. was
woman who, from window oppo-
site Mr.. Morgan's office. observed the
financiers movements for days. and
from her reports, the bomb was timed
to explode about the usual time Mr..
Morgan came out for luncheon.
The confession, as described by the
American agents, terms the premature
explosion "a mechanical mistake" for
which the bomb makers are blamed.
Lindenfeld estimating that the bomb
exploded from ten to fifteen minutes
before the intended time. The plot
tiers also accuse the driver of the
,l~I, l~. -
Wall street, Of having erred In not
leaving the wagon nearer the Morgan
office.
Cosgrove and Altendorf estimate
that Lindenfeld's confession covers
more than 10000 words aud assert
that the details fit In with the mass
