Httnrv Stelncnan spoke te a San man say
ing, " Ye, I went bis ball because be la an
Innoeent roan. I saw him In tbe harvest

o'clock niy daughter Marie was out after

Frem tbn lake at Penryn runs a narrow

Ib that Bertha lest herself In this pathway
and etrajed Inte the thorns where aha was
discovered.
A Sun reporter Interviewed Smith en
Tuesday morning. Tbe man had come te
Manhetm tosee his old friend M. J. Burk
holder, the merchant who kept atere at
White OAk. Ue were a eheap straw bat
with a blue ribbon band. Ue was elesn
shaven and hla while gnatee carefully ar
ranged. His eyes blinked continually is
lie pike freely te the newspaper man.
'When did seu see Bertha Beck T" asked
tbe reporter.
lie answered In German slowly and de
liberately. " Net until Swenk trem Lan
caster had arrested me and Superintendent
Jaeksen like a tiger started the ery of
lynch him I' banirhlm!'"
But you knew you were arrested for
stealing tbe child?"
" "yen, I knew that tee well. Oa Thurs
day morning about 0 o'clock when the
wheat was dry enough 1 went Inte the
field te work. The ratn chased me out and
1 get wef. I went home and changed my
clothe", and then curried a letter te tbe
postefllceAt Gray bill's mill for my daugh
ter. On mv way there I saw balfadczen
of prtnpla Theu'l went down te tbe station
at White Oik. Tbe la train brought out
Jehn Ssylcr, Jr., and he told me that tbe
girl was lust. That was the Ural 1 knew
of It."
"Did yen then go te the park ? "
" Ne, I went home and.wauted the Ira Ira
aginatien glas", net 'airth splegel,' that's
tbeGarmtu name for P, bnt my family
would net give it te me, se I bad te wait

thing made me go. I could net stay. I
bought a ticket at White Oak for Fenryn.
When 1 get en tbe grounds I did net stand
around like a steer, but was there ter busi
ness, te Bee if anyone could tee the lest
child in the glas."
Smith theu related his expeilance with
the persenH who looked in the glass and
was particularly severe en the young man
who said Ub saw the girl but oeuldn't lo
cate her because he was net acquainted
with tbe weeds. Ue is strong in his con
d em nation of Superintendent Nell's con
duct. Why didn't you sse whare the child
was 7"
Hecause I am net the proper subjeet
and can't see anything In the glaw. I don't
have the power te lecate thltiKS. When 1
went ever I expected te find eeme of Free
man's hands who kuew the grounds who
would have the power te locate. In tbe
morning 1 had a number of the men te leek
In the class. I was disgusted with the out-
oemo ei the matter and was about te go
home when 1 met Shirk at the tool house.
He looked in the glaisjiud Bald that he saw
the child, net In the lake but beyond the
lake. I did net soe the child. Ue started
oil and I followed hlrr. Ue bad goue some
distance and they said the child wai found
I wanted te Hud a geed place te cress the
stream. That's what I was looking for
when Officer Swonkeamoup and told me
it was all right new. He began asking me
iflhadn'tsiole the girl and then I Juit
found out what they were up te.
When 1 get back tbey wanted te lynch
me. Nell had a rope and hild me by tbe
threat. Jacksen was one of the worst
among them. When 1 saw the child she
could net talk, but would nod yea te any
thing they asked her."
Smith had uet read any of the news
paper, and when the ntery hs published
web related te him he laughed at it and
.aid It was net correct. He denied tbe ac
count of the Interview about the location of
the ehlld and said many of the words were
puWnte his meutb. Ha did net go there
for money. "He wanted te show the people
what hn could de with his glass which he
rosde fitteen years age. In all that time
Builih never found anything, atlll he be
lieves In the glnup, but he declares that he
will never nsa it te save anyone, net even

Kx-Msyer Beth Lew, of Brooklyn, in
tendering bis resignation te the First Ward
Republican association, of that city, wrote
as lollewa :
Brooklyn, June 20, 1888.
Channing Fi elhtngham, Etj , Bedrttarv i
Dear Sin 1 herewith tender my resig
nation as a member of the First Ward Re
publican association. I de se because I am
unable te support the party upon the plat
form recently adopted at Obicase. I be
lieve In protection for this country as a
means te an end i I glory In the results
achieved under it In the last twenty-live
years, bnt le my mind the eigne are many
that in net a few directions protection here
has done Its peifeet work and Is new doing
harm. Therefore 1 believe In a revision of
tbe tariff upon principles directly opposed
te the Chicago platform. I had hoped tbe
Republican party would itself undertake
te remodel the tarlfl upon lines that would
gradually transfer tbe Industries of the na
tion from an artificial te rational basis.
1 believe that ueu a cause Is demanded
by tbe true Interests of labor. Tbe policy
actually outlined seems te me full of danger
te the country. The higher and tbe tighter
the dam la made, tbn greater will be the
destruction when the flood break through,
and lean net believe that a country se large
as tbe United S'ates can be permanently
held aloof from tbe great trade movements
of the outside world. 1 remain In sympa
thy with tbe Republican party as te many
polets, and especially am I In line with
them in their attitude toward atate matters,
but Inasmueh as 1 feel compelled at the
present time te be oentrnlU d by the fore
going considerations, 1 deem it proper te
place my resignation at the disposal of the
association. Respectfully,
Beth Lew.
Ex-Mayer Lew was net the only ene
who could net oenso'entlously support tbe

IIlew,
Frem the Reading Times.
A light that almost ended in a murder
and happened be quickly that nobody could
Interfere, took place In the St. Cloud hotel
yesterday afternoon. The vicious dis
putants were Rebert Myers and a man
who halls from Lancaster county and bears
the name of the most daring outlaw who
was ever known either te the Old or
New World Jesse James. Beth men
are, in a way, horse dealers. They travel
through the city and county and buy up
old "plugs" for which tbsy find sale again
somewhere. Lttely, It seems, they have
been having aome transactions between
themselves, and the quarrel of yesterday
was the result of tbe last ene of these
Myers claimed that James owed him ISO
en this transaction, but James denied this
and said he was willing te pay Myera SI.
Tbey had had het words together before
they came Inte the hotel, but peace had ap
parently possessed their breasts until they
had taken a drink together, when tbe same
subjeet was renewed. Alter threatening
each ether several times James offered te
pay Myera the f I which be admitted he
owed him. Myers is lame and walks with
a cruieb. James' offer of only a dollar
seemed te enrage htm greatly and raising
his erutcb suddenly, and berere any ene In
tbe place could Interfere, he dealt him a
terrible blew en the bead. The bleed
spurted from a wound above the eye and
James stretched his full length en tbe fleer
and lay like a man dead.
Geerge Blessing, tbe bartender, who bad
come from behlnd tbe bar at tbe first Blgn
of a fight and tried te prevent it, picked up
tbe unconecleus man and bathed bis fsce
and wound with cold water. In this way
he was revived In a Utile while. Myera
left tbe place after striking tbe blew and
did net return.
Tbe two men had come Inte the hotel

On Tuesday the Intklt.iekncer con
tained brief telegram from Chicago an
nouncing tbe discovery et a plot by An An
arehlsta te assasslaate oOlelala of tbat city,
who were concerned In the trial of the
Haymarket murderers, Following are the
details of the story :
About ten dava age a prominent Bohe
mian called en Iuspeoler Benfield and In.
formed blin that a plot was en feet, the
objeet of which was te avenge the execu execu
uutlen of Spins, Parsons et al, by blowing
up with dvuatnlte tbe residences of Judge
Julius B Grlnuell, who was the Kate attor
ney when tbe Anarchists were tried ;
Judge Gary, who was tbe presiding Judge,
and also tbe residence of Inspector Bon Ben
field, who bad been tbe prime mover of
the arrests which followed tbe Hsymarket
aUatr, and who furnished meat of tbe evi
dence whleh brought four et tbe principals
te the gallows, forced another Inte a aul aul
elde's grave, and sent three ethers te Jollet.
The Inspector was net alew In aollegnpon
the tip thus given, and by cartful
shadowing and ether skillfull deteetlve
work succeeded In weaving a web, as he
claims, et locentestlble faets about at least
three men aud arresting them en Tuesday
morning.
Tbe name of the ring leader la Jehn
Hrenck, and he lives nt Ne. 2932 Fairel
street Uetsa Bohemian and a cabinet
maker by trade. The ether man is Frank
Cbapek, who Uvea at Ne. 408 Weat Twen
tieth street He Is also a Bohemian, aa la
the third man, whess name la Frank
Ohnbews, a tailor, living en Zlen place,
and who Is the Informer who told tbe
story of the plot te tbe Bohemian, who in
turn related It te Inspf cter Benfield.
It eeems tbat alnee the exeoutlen a move meve
ment was atarted among tbe followers of
revolution and chaos in Chicago, by which
the groups which disbanded almost as seen
ss tbe market bomb burst were te be re
organized, it appears, te de business at the
old stand. It was thought dangerous In
the light of paatevents te have these groups
composed et sn unlimited number, because
It would increase the possibility of Infor
mers making their appearanees at the tnett
critical period, When silence was very
golden.
It was oencluded tbat eaeh group as re
organized was te have no mere tban three
members, with eaeh of tbe three members
well acquainted with the ethers who cetrfV
posed tne group when farmed, It wss
thought that "aqueallng" In the Anarchists'
ranks in tbe future could beoemo a lest art
Tne three men arrested constituted a
group, and In the bands of these waa left,
by whom it la net yet known, the occupa
tion of blowing up residences until tbe aet
or last November waa considered fully
wiped out In bleed.
The group new lnetrcerated In the cells
under the City ball bad no regular meet
ing place whero plans oeuld be discussed,
but tbey met casually aa frlenda and ever a
gla&s of beer oenoooted their bold and
bloody aehemes. . it waa agreed tbat Grin
nell's beuse was tbe first one te be blown
up, but net unltss tbe ex-state attorney
was an iumate wbeu the explosion took
place. Judge Gary's beuse waa the next
one marked, and last Saturday night was
the time set ter carrying out tbe plot.
It was net fully determined hew Inspec
tor Beufleld was te be remeved. lie was
the third one en the Hat, and he was
deemed te die with tbe ethers, but bow
was net fully decided upon. The plot bad
mede rapid advancement, for en July 4th
Urenck detailed himself te examine tbe
S remises of Judge Grlnnell In Aldlne
quare, with a view te lta oecupants, Ue
reported te his companions tbat nlgbt.
The enormity of tbe offense began te
dawn upon tbe mind of Chebews. He
wrestled with hla feelings for several days
and finally made up bis mind te ask ler
advlcn from a friend. The latter hurried
at once te tbe police department and told
his story. In the bousei of all three
weapons weru found and oueuith dynamite
te blew upBevoralet the largeut buildings
in the city.
It is stated In this connection that the
three men were present at tbe Haymarket
massacre, and tbat Urenck received a num
ter et bombs and some dynamite from a
friend of tbe cause who was present. When
asked what he bad done wltn hta stuff, he
replied quite readily tbat hn bad thrown it
into tbe river. It is supposed, however,
tbat tbe stuff found Is some whleh was
iriven te him en tbat fatal evening. Urenck
and Chapek were Intimate friends et Leuis
Llngg.
Inspector Benfield en Tuesday night in
a modest quiet way told tbe story of the
plot and capture. Said he : "A week or
ten days age a gentleman drew my atten
tion te the fact of a conspiracy, whleh In
cluded an attempt en the lives of Jndge
Gary and myselt This etme te the gentle
man's knowledge from a Bohemian ou the
West Side, whcreeuaiue 1 dtellue te give.
Investigation satisfied us tbat a con
spiracy bad been formed. We found tbat
three men had been te Mdlne square
Grlnnell lives en Aldlne, square en
tbe Fourth of July, and tbat Judge
Urinnell hal noticed them there. The
conBclence or cowardice et one of theae
men oeuld net bear tbe strain, and he
shortly afterward gave up the secret, which
came quickly te our ears, as I have already
stated.
"We learned the whereabouts et tbe
men and Monday night procured warrants
for tbe arreat et tbe three. Besides Lieu
tenant Elliett and four of bis men, wn bad
two ether otllesrs along who speak Bohe
mian. Tbe first place we went was te Ne
2 05! Farrell Btreet, where the chief ene of
tbe trio lived.
We arrived tbcre about 4 e'ciccic tnia
morning, but having been Informed tbat
he bad revolvers, dynamite and dsggerr,
poisoned perhaps, we concluded net le
enter, but te wait developments Tbe fel
low came out abnut 7 o'clock. We arrested
him without difficulty, he being taken en
tirely by surprise. Ills name was Jehn
Urenck, hU age about 39, and he was
dressed in a blue lltnuel Bhlru
We Bfnrcbed tbe house and found a
small portion of dvnamlte there. It was
the Etna, Ne 2. We found also a let et

purpose, but these pressed into service,

'Lieutenant Mahenev was then tele

The Inspector declined te state whether
the aet that no search was made at Chapeir'a
Indicated that Ohspek wss the Informer,
net, as rumored, Frank Chobewa, the third
member of the group,
"Chebewa," continued the inspector,

Farrell street, also nne luimiuating cap.--Mn.
Albert R. Partens. the wife of ene
of the excutel Auarchlxta, was told of tbe
arrests and asked If Hhu knew anything
about the matter.
She became highly excited and stated
tbat U there was any conspiracy It had
been hatched up by the police "They
baven't murdered any Anarchists," she
said, " since November last, and tbey are
thirsting ler mere bleed. 1 don't tmlleve
there was a oeusplraoy, only in tbedevel.
lsh imagination of II jn field and hi min
ions." Sne grew mere exnlte 1 as she went en,
and finally said : " If Grlnnell aud Gary
are net killed very soeu 1 will kill them
myself, and you cu rest aisurea l will net
make a botch et it "
Pointing te her ten-year old son, she con
tinued : " What de you suppose I am
raising him ferT I stall teach him tbat bis
fatter was murdered and Dy whom ; and
these red handed butehers had better leek

armed ranks et the Anarchists have In-
and e teased fully 100 per cent since tbe Haj.
market tnuMere. At that time It WM
known tbat tbe armed sections numbsrsd
2 600 men fully armed and well drilled.
The execution et the leadera served te
lnorease their hatred and also taught them
tbat greater secrecy would have te be ob

groups, all provided with Wlnshcster rifle,

An interesting report upon Australian
wools, recently received at tbe state depart
ment In Washington trem G. W. Griffin,
United States consul at Sydney, New
Seuth Wales, gives seme significant faets
snd figures bearing directly upon the pres
ent discussion et the wool sohedule in tbe
Heuse and sustaining fully tbe arguments
advanced by Mr. Mills in bis famous apoeeh
in opening the debate. Mr. Grlfilu says
tbat, owing te the high protective duty, tbe
demand for wools suited te the Amertcan
market la extremely limited, only about
twelve hundred bales having been pur
chased ter expert te tbe United States at
tbe fall aalea In Londen In October last
Tbe direct expert te the United States from
Sydney durlug tbe whole season of 1880-87
consisted of but 4S0 bales, though tbe
wools shipped te the American markets
are far superior te these exported in any
previous season.
It It maintained that these wools will net
enms Inte direct competition wtththe wools
et American growth, out, as Mr. Mills has
held, being of a finer tex ure, can be used
te mix with tbe American product in tbe
mauu'aeture of a grade et woolens whleh
no sttempt Is new made te produce, thus
enlarging the field for Amertcan enterprlae.
These Australian wools are deserlbed as
being well grown, bright, soft and ex ex
tremely light in condition, tbe very perfec
tion et high merino, and specially adapted
te the American market" Mr. Griffin has
forwarded te tbe National museum at
Washington a collection et interesting
aamplea representing every grade et Aus
tralian wool suited te tbe American mar
ket acoempanled by a descriptive list giv
ing many statistics of value te Amoriean
manufacturers and wool growers.
Atler ealllng attontlen te the rapid
growth et tbe wool manufacturing Indus
try in this oeuntry and the necessity ler a
large supply et tbe raw material te keep
paoewith tbe demand, Mr. Grlfilu makes
the assertion tbat in the United States there
was from 1834 te 1887 a decrease In tbe pro
duction et wool amounting te 23,000,000
pounds. With regard te the reaseus fur its
reduction Mr. Griffin sava :
In 18(0 tbe sbexp tn the United States
numbered about 10 000,000. In 1800 the
number bad Inereased te 35,000,000, but In
1840 tbe bulk of tbe sheep were grazed In
tbe New England and Uastern atates add
none In tbe Southern and Western atates.
In 1880 the Southern and Western states
grazed one-third of the whele number,
while tbe New England and Eastern
states only grazed bslf tbe number they
bad In 1840 Tbe highest point was readied

another Anarohlstle plot lu the city and the
aelzure of large quantities of dynamite snd

arrest of the three men yesterday, and tbe
Impending arrest et ethers, Invested the
proceedings in the Federal court this morn
ing with sn additional grave, if net tragic,
Interest. Leng before the assembling et
onurttbecerrldors of the government build
ing were crowded by throngs anxious te gain
admls.lnn te Judge Gresbsm's court room,
where Ualted States Commissioner Uojne
Is hearing evldenee in tbe Burlington cases.
But a email proportion el tbe orewd could
gain admittance te Ihe court room, and It
waa some time beyond the hour snnouneed
for the opening of the proceedings before
the surging crowds were quieted suffi
ciently te resume Inquiry into tbe recent
dynamite explosions en the Burlington
read. The cool and complacent revelations

and ether co conspirators, In vlew of these
later developments, msde blm sn elject of
horror ss be entered the court room.
Te the surprlse et everybody, when
court was called te order Mr. Kwlng stated
that Alexander Smith waved further ex
amination, Te this Mr. Donahue, ene or
the counsel for defense, replied that be did
net think that a witness could waive exam
ination, but, howevor, be would net ob

Capt McGinn narrated hew the dyna

and took a sest opposite Broderlek. After
I saw blm enter I weut back and get one
et my eperatlvea and we entered tbe car
where tbe men were. United States Dep
uty Burehard had a warrant In his pocket
te arrest Broderlek. This occurred en tbe
2.05 train leaving Aurera for Chicago en
IhoGthef July."
Tbe fulminating caps found en the person
of Brederlck were produeed during Me
Uluu's examination and ettered lu evi
dence. WILSON IS A DETECTIVE.
Attorueys David and Donahue, for the
defense, scored a point when they estab
lished the faet that tbe warrant for the ar
rest of the men was sworn out berere tbe
crime was committed, and a profound sen
sation wss created at tbe following revela
tion : " De you knew Wilsen T " asked
Attorney Donahue. McGinn visit ly
trembled and a delay of nearly five minutes
followed before he answered tbe question.
He finally acknowledged tbat Wllien, one
of tbe conspirators, so-esllcd, waa tn the em
ploy of Iho Plnkerten agency.
"Are there any ether of tbe defendants
In the employ of your agency T " asked
Mr. Donahue.
Attbls question tte witness smiled and
aald no "
Before we are through with your ex
amination," exclaimed Attorney Donahue,
We will have no oileuta at alt"
At thla point Dlstriet Attorney Kwlrg
capped the climax of astonishment per
vading tbe court by stating tbat Wilsen
waived examination, and that tbe ebsrge
against him wail dismissed. The attorneys
for the delense, however, demanded that
he should net be permitted te leave tbe
court, and asked whether be was te be ex
amined ai n wltness.
Attorney Dawes ter tbe railroad company
premised tbat be kheuld net be allowed te
eieape. Frem this moment me proceed
ings were et an intensely sensational char
acter.
Why didn't you arrest tbe fourth man,
why did you allow blm te get away 1"
asked Attorney Donahue.
1 thought 1 had my bands full with
Mulligan."
Why I Isn't Mulligan, tbe man Wil Wil
eon new In court, your own operative."
11 Yes," responded Capt. McGinn.
" And you actually assign thls,befere tbe
court and before tbe world, as your reason
ler permitting the fourth man te escape 7"
Te this question Capt McGinn inade co
reply.
' De yen knew whether tbat fourth man
was the man tbat put tbe package In tie

" 1 de net," replied McGinn.
HAUUKISEN'H LETTEIt.
I saw Broderlek put hla baud cut of the
window. I had tbe train stepped and ran
back and found a letter en the track," the
witness testified. Ue then identified tbe
letter produeod by Dlstriet Attorney Ewlng
ai tbe one bu found en tbe track. Attor
neys David and Denanue said although the
letter contained nothing relevant te tbe
case, they had no et J Ml Ien te its being
read.
Tbe letter was addressed te Tem ltred-
ortek and read as follews: "Brotherhood
