man. Two more of the accomplices of Berk
man, the assassin, were placed behind
prison bars, and prison doors all oyer the
country are opening wide to receive the
conspirators in the far-reaching plot to kill
H. C Frick. By one arrest was learned
the name of the officers of the Southside
group of Anarchists. They will all be ar
rested. The police are getting deeper into
the foul conspiracy of the Anarchists and
many more arrests are to follow.
Anarchists consider Pittsburg the hotbed
of anarchy and the leaders are loud in their
praises of the rabid feeling among the
groups in Pittsburg and Allegheny. This
was learned through the arrest of Henry
Bauer at the the house of Maxwell
Albrecht, the shoemaker at 73 Spring
Garden avnue, Allegheny. He is the ring
leader of the Anarchists in "Western Penn
sylvania. "When Herr Fricke, the
Socialistic leader,took his life with his own
hands his cloak fell on Henry Bauer. Ever
Henry Baxter.
since bis hand has upheld the blood red
banner of anarchy. He is a rabid preacher
of the social revolution and is a great
organizer of Anarchists. He is regarded
among his lawless friends and followers as
one of the six greatest Anarchists in the
world.
Bauer Is Positively Identified.
Bauer is positively identified as the man
in the blue suit who accompanied Berkman,
the assassin, to H. C Prick's office on
Saturday afternoon when the assassination
was attempted. He stood at the entrance
, and had on him an immense 44-ealiber re
volver and a big dagger. He was also at
Homestead distributing inflammatory cir
culars. On his person and at his room were found
a wagon load of letters and revolutionary
literature. Bauer was also a distributor of
anarthistic literature. He was in communi
cation with prominent Anarchists all over
the world and handled literature and papers
in nearly a dozen different languages.
Through correspondence found on him was
discovered the first admission from the An
archists that they threw the bomb in the
Chicago Haymarket riot.
This information comes from a letter writ
ten by Otto Hermann, of Philadelphia, in
which he laughs over the fact that the man
who threw the bomb has never been discov
ered, and intimates either that he threw it
himself or knew exactly who did.
A Deep-LaM Conspiracy.
The evidence discovered by the police
yesterday goes further to prove the exist
ence of the greatest Anarchist plot
ever laid in America. Herr Most is
drawn deeper into the toils and there is now
proof that Most has a perfect organization
all over the country and that no moves are
made except through the approval of the
main officers. Only portions of the con
spiracy can be made public forfear it would
binder the work of the police.
Bauer has only been in Pittsburg about a
year and a half. He lived with Herr Fricke
and was an attentive pupil. He is about 34
years old, six feet high, weighs- about 170
pounds, has a sallow complexion, dark hair
and a dark-brown mustache. He was
naturalized in 2Tew York in August, 1890.
The arrest was made at 10 o'clock yester
day morning by Detective Steele, of Alle
gheny, and Detective McTighe, of Pittsburg.
All Monday they had watched the house at
73 Spring Garden avenue. Bauer returned
home yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. They
gimplv watched and waited, and when he
started out at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
he was placed under arrest All of his
effects were seized and taken to the Pitts
burg Central station.
letters From '1d Tan Zandt.
Among his effects were iound many of
the letters of the late Herr Pricke and
many pictures of that famed Anarchist, to
gether with letters and telegrams from Nina
Van Zandt, Mrs. Lucy Parsons and others.
He also hali a small arsenal.
There were numerous Knives and a heavy,
dangerous looking dagger about five inches
long. It is very heavy, and looked as if it
had just been made at homo, and was filed

scabbard is new and was made very re
cently. Besides this there was a fine
"breech loading rifle and a long 44 caliber
revolver. He had a great deal of ammuni
tion, and a number of loaded canes. All of
the knives had unusually long blades.
There were a number of badges made out
ot silver dimes on which was engraved,
"Will TJ do it." Another badge in the
shape of a shield was found on which was
inscribed the names of the Chicago Anar
chistg. Besides this he had a number of
badges printed on ribbon. In his satchel a
surprise was found in the shape of a flowing
red necktie in which was a four-carat
imitation diamond pin. A peculiar thing
was that all his correspondence for the
last six weeks, except that of a business or
social nature,has been destroyed. Probably
the most dangerous matter found was a
large number of diagrams showing how to
make bombs; Every detail of the work
was shown and drawings of the exact size of
the materials used. He had evidently been
distributing these drawings.
The Weapon of the Anarchist.
They are made in the shape of spheres
three and three-eighth inches in diameter.
Inside is placed what is called a "black
box" three inches long. This is made of
zinc and has a glass tube two
inches in length running through it.
In this is placed highly explo
sive materials and on either end is a per
cussion cap. The remainder of the interior
of the bomb is filled with dynamite or nitro
glycerine. There is considerable correspondence
between Bauer, Herr Most and Secretary
"William Kcaty,of the International Associa
tion of St. Louis, and editor of the Password,
over William Frei. It finally ended with
Mr. Bauer denying he wrote several letters
and with the unanimous verdict that Frei
was a mighty poor quality of An
archist Next came a receipted bill
for $25 from Joseph Friedman for services
in trying to secure a divorce for Bauer. A
peculiar feature about one of Most's letters
is that the first sheet has been destroyed.
Another letter showed Bauer had been a
constant and welcome contributer to the
vnicago M-oeuer ZMiung.
Frank X. Schmidt, of Greensburg, ack
nowledges the receipt of a letter and book
on July 7, 1892,and from the tone of his let
ter it is intimated that Most was expected
in Pittsburg very soon after that date for he
writes: "If Catholics go to Home to see the
Pope, I may go to Pittsburg to see Most."
There were were some letters from Irvine
Scoffer, of Bretzville, Ind., regarding an
archist papers. There were also letters
from the AiUonomie, of London, which is the
official organ ot the Autonomists, of which
Berkman was a member.
A rocm to He.r Fricke.
On another paper was found a poem on
Herr Pricke's birthday written by Karl
Eeuber, of Pittsburg.
Emil Clauert, writing on the letterhead
of A. Wolf & Sons, wholesale licfuor men,
states that Julius Hcnzig has been taken
back into Union Uo. 2 ot the Anarchists.
This letter was sent in care of E. Ruppert,
151 Madison avenue, Allegheny. Together
with this was found an invitation to the
birthday of Call Knold, the Anarchist ar
rested on Tuesday.
Then there were a number of letters from
Nina Van Zandt, some of which were
signed as Mrs. August Spies. She made
the statement that the amount due her"was
?8 40 instead ot $8 30, as had been inti
mated in a previous letter. She closed by
forgiving the entire debt.
There were some letters from Lucy Par
sons to Herr Pricke. There was also a
number of telegrams signed lv her to
Bauer. One was dated May 3, 1889, and
said Carlin was in San Francisco.
. la ajetter to J. Hyde, editor of the Free
dom, ot London, Bauer admits he is the
leader of the AnsTehists here. There -was
an-incendiary letter from M. Renniers, of
Brussels.
I.am-ntlnc t he. Decay of Anarchy.
The principal letters were those from Otto
Hermann, of 2924 Cambridge street, Phila
delphia. Hermann says In 1884 he organ
ized groups of Anarchists all over the coun
try, about 30 or 40 in number, and com
prising 5,000 members. He bewails the de
cay ot anarchy, and says not more than
3,000 of them can now be found. He con
tinues: You may say all those mUsing members
are within pi ison walls. Personal liberty is
a sinecure in America. We must either
Snow all the dangers and stand up boldly as
our SIoM; or shut up. I have nei. er seen any
courage but onco and that was when we
threw the bomb in Chicago. I would like to
laugh, for the man who tnrcw the bomb is
not known. Yet we gained nothing. Seven
bold men n eie taken from our midst and the
rest are silenced.
As long as revolutionists and Anarchists
organize singing societies and groups talk
philosophy and draw up resolutions of pro
test, that long there Is no danger for the
State. As long as murders, as were com
mitted in Chicago.are celebrated with songs,
music and ecn with dancei; as long as
every 11th of November Judge Grinnell,
Judge Gary and Sheriff Mattson are living
and do not dio on that day for revenge; as
ong as the propaganda of the deed is not
brought to action, w e don' t need any men be
cause such people as now aie would only
raise a disturbance.
I am Very glad to see you go ahead in your
place, bince the foundation of the Inter
national Association 1 have only found six
men whom w e could trust.
On May 3, ot this year, another letter was
received from Hermann in answer to one
from Baueron February 24. He said:
Doesn't Like to Fay High ITazes.
I lecelved your letter of the 24th last
month. 1 see you are the light man in the
right place. lr you keep on this way the
groups of Pittsburg and Allegheny will soon
be at the head of our organization. I have
lost all faith in the, people of Philadelphia,
I don't think the groups here will ever
amount to anything.
The Eussians, 1 tell you, they go ahead if
mey were oniy not iieoiews. J. mentionea

sent off the money already. Bauer, there Is
a movement on hand to take the Preiheit
away from New Yoik. We have figured
we could make It $25 a week cheaper
here, but Philadelphia is really not the
place for it, and we thought that Pitts
burg and Allegheny would be leallytlie
place Ifrent were cheaper there and wattes
lower. The New Yorkers are really satisfied
with this movement, but John Miller has
remarked he doubts the benefit.
On February 8, 1892, another letter was
received from him, in which he said:
I would like to atk or you the service of a
filend and would like it very much if you
would give me the necessary information.
On January a woman came to Koeberleln
statin;: that she w as one or our comrades
from Fittsburfr. bhe said her husband's
name was Otto Yoss, and that her husband
was a contractor living at 4Gi Taylor street,
Pittsburg. She seemed to know much about
the Pittsburg group, although she didn't
know something about some persons,among
them Carl Knold. I have an interest not to
forget the woman for the time being, and I
nave received until to-day (she left January
6) no communication with her as ber hus
band. I would like to know if she is a mem
ber. 'Wish you would treat it secretly.
Interested in Affairs or Iove.
There was also a great mass of Anarchistic
literature, and in among it was iounii a
much-thumbed pamphlet bearing the legend,
"Mysteries of making love explained, or
courtship made easy.
There was a decided sensation on the
Southside last evening when Captain Stew
art arrested a prominent member of the
Southside Turners for distributing Anarchist
circulars. He is Frederick Simmons, a
high Turner in the Thirteenth street hall.
Last evening about 6:30 o'clock Captain
Stewart received word that a man was dis
tributing Anarchist bills on Carson street.
The Captain was not long in finding his
man. He found him at Fourteenth street
and followed him until he reaohed Nine
teenth street before he arrested him. The
man was distributing the German Issue of
the circular and it was not until the Cap
tain got hold of an English bill that be
knew what it was. He placed the man un
der arrest and locked him up in the Twenty-eighth,
ward police station. He was
Frederick Simmons, a well-known employe
of Kline & Logan's shovel factory, Thir

cents apiece and were the same as found on
the person of Hiold when arrested in Alle
gheny Monday. He had a large number of
the circulars left. "
A n Invitation to fTorklnsmen.
The bills were headed: "Free Lecture for
Working People, on Sunday, August 14, in
Druid's Hall, 1113 Carson street, South
side. Subject: 'The Homestead Strike
and Its Teachings." "
.On the opposite side was a long article
headed: "The Anarchists' Proposal to Reme
dy Strikes."
When Simmons was arrested he had
nothing to say. About 8 o'clock he was
taken out to hunt bail, and was released on
(500 for a hearing Tuesday next, on the
charge of ''circulating and distributing lit
erature tending to a breach of the peace."
Simmons, who is married and resides
with his family on Eureka street, Allen,
town, is a Swiss and has been in this
country a number of years. His friends
are surprised beyond measure as they never
thought he was connected with the South
side branch of Anarchists. He is 24 years
old. Simmons was very particular about
who he gave the circulars to. He did not
give them to anyone but those who looked
like workmen.
ALLEGHENY THE HOT BED.
Scenes at the Arrest of Itanrr, Ilia SocIa'Ist
JLdrr Much Plotting Going; on on the
orthSlde KnoM'j Picture Was round
There.
For several months Chief Murphy, of
Allegheny, has been giving considerable at
tention to Anarchistic movements in his
city. Since the Haymarket riot in
Chicago, in 1885, there has been a
sort of proverbial phrase current
among Anarchists that "Ninety-two
is the year." In apparent agreement
with this revolutionary utterance, it has
been noticeable that these opponents of
organized government have been exceed
ingly active, and they seem toy-have
selected industrial Pittsburg as one of the
centers of their activity. John Most, their
leader in the United States, was himself
here in June, and held a number of quiet
meetings in Allegheny. He brought with
him a'la'rge lot" of anarchistic literature,
which was circulated by Henry Bauer and a
few of his intimate friends. Some of cthese
papers came into the hands of Chief
Murphy. As they bore the name of Bauer,
as the agent for anarchistic publications,
the police learned of the existence and
identity of that gentleman. Inquiries were
made, and it was found that Bauer lived at
No. 73 Spring Garden avenue, with an old.
shoemaker named Marcus Albrecht.
The house at No. 73 is a two-story frame
structure of veuerable age. It once was
painted some dark shade, but time and the
weather have removed the paint and given
the house a dark gray tint Albrecht has
lived there three or four years, and does
cobbling for the German neighbors. He is
a mild, slow, spectacled man, whose face is
of that sallow color which all shoemakers
acquire, and he wears an irregular dark
mustache and chin beard. Formerly Herr
Pricke, the Anarchist leader, lived, with
the shoemaker, but since the death of that
gray bearded revolutionist his place has
been occupied by Henry Baner.
Itauer Lived In Frieke's Old Quarters.
The two men occupied only one large
room on the street floor of the old house.
In the front part of this room Albrecht had
his bench and working materials at the left,
while Bauer's desk was on the right as a
visitor enters the door. Two curtains,
hung on a string, cut off the rear half of
the room, and there the two men slept in a
well furnished bed. A few pictures hung
on the wall, and a handsome lamp stood on
a little table against the rear wall. A door
opened into a" cellar behind, which was cut
out of the steep hill rising immediately
back of the house. The upper floor is oc
cupied by a respectable family named
Kuhn.
At the Allegheny Postoffice it was
learned that Bauer called every morning at
the general delivery window and obtained
large bundles of newspapers, which came
from Chicago and New York. These were
anarchistic papers, which he personally de
livered to the subscribers in the two cities.
It was learned that he had no occu-'
pation except acting as agent for anarch
istic publications in all parts of the
world. On his commissions from these he
lived, and seems to have lived in comfort.
He was rarely at the house on Spring Gar
den avenue. He left early in the morning
and spent the day delivering his papers,
distributing handbills, arranging for meet
ings, carrying messages between members
of the croups and acting as general agitator
and organizer. . In the evenings be attended
meetings, and , was a fluent talker in both
English and German.
Bauer Was Berkman's Accomplice.
On Monday James Tustin, a resident of
the Southside, called at Pittsburg police
headquarters ana tola an interesting story.
He said that shortly after noon Saturday he
had occasion to visit the Chronicle Telegraph
office, and, while standing about the door,
saw Berkman at the entrance to the eleva
tor leading to Mr. Prick's office, talking
with a tall, dark-haired man. Berkman
entered the building, and the tall man
waited. Tustin" had a good look at
him, wondering why he waited here in
such a nervous manner. In a few minutes
Berkman reappeared, when the tall man
drew from his pocket something wrapped in
brown paper and handed it to Berkman.
The latter again entered the, elevator, and
the tall man mingled with the people on
the sidewalk. A lew minutes later Tustin
heard of the Bbooting of Mr. Prick, and his
mind immediately adverted to the tall man
and his little companion. He was taken to
the county jail, where he recognized Berk,
man as the little man. The officers at once
went to work to find the tall man.
It being learned that Berkman had lived
for over a week in Allegheny, it was
thought that his, companion might live in
that city. Detectives Shore and MoTighe
consulted with Chief Murphy, and it was
tonnd on comparison of notes that Tustin's
description fitted Bauer pretty closely. It
was decided to arrest the anarchist organi
zer. Movein-nlS of the Detrctirrs.
At about 8 o'clock "Monday evening
Detectives Shore and McTighe, of Pittsburg,
and Detectives Glenn and Steele, of Alle
gheny, went to Spring Garden avenue and
shadowed the shop of Albrecht. Bauer was
not there and a watch was kept until
midnight It seemed that Bauer had learned
of.the arrest of Eckert and Knold during
the day and he did not go to his quarters.
'At midnight the detectives gave up the
watch, but left the patrolman on the beat to
keep a sharp lookout during5 the night
At 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon Detec
tives McTiffhe and Milbv went to'Bauer's
home, and passing the shop saw through
the opened door that the man they wanted
was sitting inside, talking to the shoe
maker. A neighbor told the officers that
Bauer had come only a short time before.
This neighbor advised the detectives, who
are both small men, not to go inside, as
Bauer might blow up the house and every
thing in the vicinity with dynamite. At
this interval the Detectives saw Police
Captain Schatzman passing in a street car,
and they called him to alight In his com
pany they entered the shop.
Arrested by Jllilby and SIcTIgh.
Bauer was sitting in a cha :, having re
moved one of his russet shoes. These shoes
were new, and one of them probably hurt
the Anarchist's foot Dstective Milby told
Bauer he was wanted by Chief Murphy
at police headquarters. The man said noth
ing for some time, but his faced flushed
as he looked from one to the other and
pulled the ends of his mnstache. At last he
said, "All right," and put on his shoe.
Arising he moved toward the rear door
opening into the cellar, and was about to
enter there when Captain Schatzman stopped
him and told him to put on his hat and
come on. The prisoner was walked to the
nearest patrol box, a patrol wagon called,
and he wa"S sent to the Allegheny City Hall.
The officers returned to the little house,
where they looked over all the effects and
examined the cellar. Nothing was found in
the cellar except a box full ot empty beer
bottles and sand. The wagon returned
twice, and conveyed away all of Bauer's be
longings. Among the stuff was a photo
graph of Carl Knold, who was arrested
Monday. The goods were taken to the
Pittsburg Central station, where every
thing was carefully examined.
Bauer was first conveyed to the office of
Chief Murphy, where he was questioned by
that official. He said he had lived in Alle
gheny about a year and a half. When
asked where he lived before that, he said
he had been for short periods in various
large cities. He was then asked If he
knew Berkman, the assassin. He said that
he hed met the man at the house
of Eckert in Cherry street He
learned from some of his friends that a man
by that name, who was an enthusiastic
Anarchist, had arrived in the city, and he
thought it might be August Berkman, whom
he bad known as an Anarchist leader in
Chicago. He therefore called to see the
man in Cherry street, but found him to be
another fellow.
Denied He Was With Berkman.
Chief Murphy said, "You have been seen
on the street with this man Berkman."
"No," said Bauer, "that is a mistake. I
never went with him on the street."
Bauer said that he knew Johann Most,
that he had belonged to an anarchist organ
ization at Chicago, and that he was the gen
eral agent for international publications in
Allegheny and Pittsburg. The chief
asked how many Anarchists there were
in Allegheny. Bauer shook his head and
said be did not know. The chief
believes there are nearly 400 -in the two
cities. Bauer admitted that he had been at
Homestead the day after the riot and had
distributed some circulars there. He was
ordered out of town by the members of the
Advisory Committj-i'.yW.ho had no use for
anarchistic doctrines. ' " .
This short examination being finished
Bauer was taken to Pittsburg, where he was
seen by Tustin. That gentleman raid he
was not the man who was with Berkman on
the day ot the shooting.
HUNTING THE SECOND MAN.
The Police Making a Thorough Search of
the Two Cities for Berkman's Compan
ion Banning Down an Eccentric In
dividual Who Was Mat Wanted.
After the arrest of Bauer and Tustin's
statement that he was not Berkman's com
panion of July 23, it was suggested by some
of the Allegheny police officials that the
tall companion of the assassin might be an
odd character who lived in Wicklein's lane
in the upper part of Allegheny. This indi
vidual is August Adolph von Wettach, and
he is an eccentric person. He comes from
a noble family in Austria, but falling
into disfavor in that country, on ac
count of his radical views on social
and economic questions, he found it con
venient to remove to America, where he
has since preached anarchism. He is a tall
man with dark hair and mustache, and his
hair is rather long. In this last respect he
fitted Tustin's description, for the man
with Berkman had long dark hair. Bauer's
hair is well trimmed, Wettach receives a
regular allowance from his family in
Austria, sufficient to keep him in humble
circumstances. This money he draws, in
stipulated sums mogthly, from a friend on
Mt Troy, to whom it is sent from across
the water.
During the spring von Wettach lived at
No. 108 Spring Garden avenue, not far from
the house of Bauer and Albrecht Early in
June some of the neighbors complained to
the police that the queer Austrian talked
anarchism on the street, that he shook
what looked like bombs out of his window
and threatened to blow up the whole neigh
borhood. Captain Schatzman arrested von
Wettach on a warrant, charging him with
disorderly conduct, and the prisoner was
sent to the workhouse for 30 days. Since
his release two weeks ago he has lived at
No. 14 Wicklein's lane.
Yesterday evening Captain Schatzman,
Detectives McTighe and Aiken and Tustin
visited von Wettach's lodgings. It was
lound that he bad grown a beard, and Tus
tin said he was not the man. Yon Wettach
seemed to know that the officers had called
yon account of the Berfcman atlair, but he
said that he had had nothing to do with
Berkman, that he no longer belonged to
any groups, and was disgnsted with the
whole party in these cities. After a long
talk it was decided to Jeave von Wettach
with his dog, guns, trophies and revolution
ary books and pictures.
The police are now at a standstill in re
gard to the man who was with Berkman,
but thev have not given up the quest, and
the two cities will be raked for him as with
a fine-toothed comb.

A STATEMENT FROM HERR JQMX MOST
rSPKCIAI. TELEORAK TO THE DISFATCH.1
New Yobk, July 26. Chief Roger
O'Mara, of the Pittsburg police, ' obtained
evidence to-day is regard to the man Frank
Mollick, who was arrested early this morn
ing at Long Branch, N. J., that directly
connects the prisoner with Bertha Gold
man, the New York Anarchist, with Berk
man, the assailant of Mr. Frick, and with
Dr. Hoflman, whose wife has frequently
gone on the bail bond of prominent An
archists here when they were placed under
arrest. This evidence is in the form of admis
sions made by Mollick and by papers tonnd
in his room. Among these papers is a tele
gram lrom the Goldman woman telling
Mollick to come to New York at once.
This is the story of how Chief O'Mara be
came aware of the fact that Berkman had
friends in or near this city who sent him
money, and of the location and arrest of
Mollick. Soon after the shooting of Mr.
Frick a woman living in Allegheny went
to Chief O'Mara and told him that Berkman
had boarded with her on or about July 19,
and that on that date he had gotten a small
package from LongBranch by express. In
quiry at the express office showed that
Frank Mollick had on July 18 sent 56 to,
Berkman.
Ver'fl-rt the Woman's Story.
The day Chief O'Mara verified the
woman's story he telegraphed Chief of Po
lice Layton, of Long Branch, to arrest Mol
lick if he was in town. Chief O'Mara fol
lowed the telegram as far as this city.
From here he again telegraphed Chief Lay
ton "to arrest F. Mollick, charged with
being an accessory before and after the fact
of the shooting ot H. C. Frick."
Chief Layton got this telegram at 11
o'clock on Monday night. He had already
located Mollick at the bakery of -Frederick
Hicdl, at 83 Broadway, and had learned
from the express agents in Long Branch that
he had sent the package to Berkman.
Chief Layton went to Hiedl's bakery, but
wheu Mr. Hiedl insisted that there
must be some mistake he went
away without arresting Mollick. He
returned at 2 o'clock this morning, how
ever, and arrested him. He was not ex
amined, but -was, taken at once to police
'headquarters and locked up. This'morning
when questioned he at first denied knowing
Berkman. Then he said he met him once
two years ago. Berkman had loaned him
some money when he was hard up. About
two weeks ago, he said, he had sent Berk
man some money because he was hard up.
When asked how he knew where Berkman
was he turned away and refused to talk
further. He was seen this afternoon by
The Dispatch correspondent. He said
he was 81 years old and came to this country
six years ago from Livock, Austria. He
went to work in Neumeyer's restaurant at
196 Allen street

From there he went to the restaurant of
a man named Schminke, who, he said, kept
a bakery in Houston street, between
Chrystie and Forsyth. He was foreman.
Berkman wrote to him for money. He
wanted 510. Mollick had not 510, but sent
him all he had $6.
"How did Berkman know where you
were?" was asked.
"I don't know," said Mollick, and he
walked to the rear of his cell and turned
back to the door.
Chief O'Mara and Detective Sergeant
Mulry, of the New York police, reached
Long Branch at 2 p. jr., Mollick was
brought from his cell and searched. No
papers were found on him. When Chief
O'Mara questioned him he repeated the
story he told the writer. When he was
asked if he was married he said he was not
He said he did not know the Goldman
woman.
From police headquarters Chief O'Mara
went to Mollick's room. Mollick roomed
with two other bakers who went to Long
Branch from this city. They protested that
Mollick had no papers or letters. Chief
O'Mara searched the room and stowed away
in a corner he found a paper bag full of
papers. The first paper he drew out was a
telegram. It read:
P. Mollick, care of Hiedl:
Come as soon as possible. Nothing dan
gerous. Goldman.
Mollick was at once confronted with the
telegram. He turned pale and trembled.
Then he said: "lam married. I was mis
taken when I said I was not My wife, or
the woman I live with, lives at 340 Fast
Fifth street She as sick and that tele
gram was sent me to tell me to come to
her."
Caught In a Corner.
"Why should you be asked to go to her
when the telegram said she wasn't danger
ous?" Mollick was silent
"Do you know who sent that telegram?"
was asked.
"No, I don't," he replied.
"Don't you know the Goldman girl?"
Mollick was silent for a minute, then he
burst forth: "Yes I do. But whose busi
ness is it? I have a right to kuow her.
She told me to come to see my wife. She
is my friend. My wife was sick and she
telegraphed me to come."
"Who attended your wife?"
"Dr. Hoffman, who lives in Seventh
street between First and Second avenues.
He knows me well."
"How did Berkman know where to write
to you?" was asked.
"He knew where I was," Mollick replied
sullenly.
"Did" you know that he knew the
Goldman woman."
"Ask him and see," said Mollick.
The Authorities In Dispute.
Leaving M.qJlick Chief O'Mara went to
Justice Slocum to make a duly attested
complaint against Mollick, Justice Slocum
refused to accept if, saying that he would
deal with no offender unless he violated the
law in Long Branch. Chief of Police Lay
ton, however, agreed to hold Mollick until
the arrival of extradition papers from Penn
sylvania. Chief O'Mara expects the papers
this morning. He will go back to Long
Branch to-day and arrange to take Mollick
to Pennsylvania. '
Frederick Hiedl, the employer of Mol
lick, was not in Long Branch yesterday.
His wife said he had gone to New York.
She said that, her husband hired Mollick
about six weeks ago at Lincoln Hall, a re
sort for bakenat the corner of Allen and
Houston stre "

They moned inand two days late?r la
Goldman came'to live with the MolITcis.
Mollick disappeared then and his wife said
he had goneto Long Branch to work as a
baker. Mpt Walsh is a German, notwith
standing iter name. There was something
about the Mollicks which made her suspi
cious. She kept a close watch and noticed
u
queergomgs on.
A Daughter ot the Prisoner.
A reporter knocked at the Mollicks' door
to-night, and was admitted by a lovely lit
tle flaxen-haired, blue-eyed girl. She was
hugging a rag doll. A woman said the
child was Mrs. Mollick's 5-year-old daugh
ter. The little girl spoke Euglisb, but was
bashful, and could not be induced to talk.
There was a middle-aged Bussian woman
cleaning up the house. She could not
speak a word of English, and pointed
to the little girl when questioned.
Mrs. Walsh said the Mollicks had
been receiving visitors at all times of the
day and night. The visitors were ill-looking
men for the most part, and poorly
dressed- There seemed to be continuous
suppressed excitement in the Mollicks'
rooms. Almost (every mail brought letters
addressed to Mrs. Mollick. Emma Gold
man was running in and out all the time.
The cry of a newsboy would cause the big
gest kind of a hustle. The Goldman wom
an would buy all the newspapers that
came along.
Mrs. Walsh said Emma's mail was big,
too, and last week telegrams began to come.
It was on Saturday of last week that her
lover shot Frick." Mrs. Walsh said that
sometimes Emma got four telegrams in one
day. This afternoon, just after the news of
Mollick's arrest had been published, Mrs.
Mollick knocked at Mrs. Walsh's door and
said she had to go right off Emma Gold
man and a young man in a light suit and a
straw hat were waiting for Mrs. Mollick.
Mrs. Walsh had read about Emma Goldman
in the newspapers and asked Mrs. Mollick
if the woman who was with her was the
same person. Mrs. Mollick hurriedly said
that it was not, and pressing her keys into
Mrs. Walsh's hand hurried off
A Statement From Herr Most.
At the office of the FreJieil to-night the
man in charge said: "Mr. Most was got out
ot bed at 2 o'clock this morning by the report
ers and he has been interviewed all day.
He does not want to see an v more reporters.
During the day he was at Kuirim's saloon
at 20 North-William street. He went there
to write and keep out of the way of his too
many callers. He said:
"I can't see any reason for a warrant be
ing issued for my arrest. I have done noth
ing. The troubles at Pittsburg don't con
cern me in the least I can prove an alibi
to any charge the authorities may bring
against me in connection with theHouiestead
affair, i shall, not resist arrest On the
contrary, I cheerfully court an investiga
tion into any charges that may be made
against me or my cause. I lelt mv address
at the office of the Freiheit, and it will be
given to anyone who makes his or her busi
ness knonn, provided that the editors or
clerks think the business of sufficient
importance to need a personal interview.
I am not afraid, and shall not, as I said
before, resist arrest."
"As to Most's connection with Berkman,"
the assistant said, "as soon as he got the
letter from Pittsburg, ask.ng about that
person, Mr. Most wrote that he was a
dangerous man. By that he meant that be
was liable to make trouble and get others
into trouble, but he did not suspect that
Berkman meant to do anything like that
attack upon Frick. I posted the" letter my
self, and put a special delivery stamp
upon it."
Emma Goldman (o Be Arrested.
Chief O'Mara and Sergeant Mulry
reached New York at 9 o'clock to-night
They went direct to Dr. Hoffman's honse
at 62 East Seventh street Dr. Hodman's
wife ha been on the bail bond of prominent
Anarcliis s. To Chief O'Mara Dr.JHoffman
said that he knew no man by the name of
Mollick either at East Fifth street or any
place else. He didn't either admit or deny
that he knew the Goldman woman.
He was positive that he hadn't treated or
visited any patients at 340 East Fifth
street This flatly contradicts Mollick, who
told the police that ,Dr. Hoffman had
treated his wife at the above house
From Dr. Hoffman's Chief O'Mara went
to police headquarters. He wanted to go
over the other papers found In Mollock's
room and see if there was not evidence
that others were associated with
Mm. It is learned that the
police will probably arrest Emma Gold
man on the strength of the evidence already
obtained. Chief O'Mara expects that im
portant information will reach him with
the requisition for Mollick this morning.
This information will doubtless lead to the
arrest of other alleged Anarchists. Speak
ing of the probability of Mollick's being
aware ot Herman s intention to snoot iur.
Frick, Chief O'Mara said last night:
"Berkman is a cool, nervy man. He was
doubtless selected on that account I be
lieve Mollick knew where he was, and
about what he was going to do. Berkman
and Mollick each knew where the other
was. Berkman was working and Mollick
furnished funds. Besides tha't the Goldman
woman Anarchist and Berkman's friend
was telgraphing and writing to Mollick.
The words 'nothing dangerous' might just
as well mean that Mollick's part, in the
business was not risky. Mollick is a shrewd
liar."
A Ta'k Willi Miss Goldman.
Miss Goldman was found by The Dis
patch correspondent at midnight. She
immediately inquired:
"Well, what do you want to know?"
"Did you know that Berkman was going
to kill Frick when he left this city?"
"No."
"Did he ever talk about the matter to
you or in your presence?"
"No."
Miss Goldman then said that she wonld
not say anything further except that she
knew Berkman. The other boarder at her
house is described as a small slight man
with half closed eyes. He received a tele
gram on Saturday night which wa3 addressed
Aerter or Oerter.
At . the office of the ArbeUer ZeUung, 91
Delancey street, c well-known labor agi
tator said yesterday that Emma Goldman
four years ago was married or living with a
man as his wife in Rochester.
"A friend of mine," he continued, "lived
in the same house with them and knew the
pair well. They did not agree very well
together and separated."
It was stated yesterday that Miss Gold
man was well known among Anarchists in
Bochesterand other centers besides New
York. Though she is but 25 years of age
she has had a busy life, speaking at Anar
chist meetings for a number of years. She
is well known to the Hebrew Anarchists of
the East side and often spoke at meetings
and halls on East Broadway. She is a
thorough revolutionist. '

Another interesting case where military

in camp to-day had not the Third
Brigade been ordered to break Camp Ander

Regiment, left camp last week. He went
into Homestead and traded his military
suit to William Roberts for a suit of citi
zen's clothes. Heithen went to his home at
Wilkesbarre. His captain, who was home
on a leave of absence, met him there, had"
him arrested and returned to camp.
He arrived in camp yesterday. He
explained to Colonel Keck, commanding
the Third Brigade, that he was to be mar
ried in a week, and that he had gone home
to visit his sweetheart.
The explanation was not satisfactory. He
will be tried by court martial on a charge of
desertion, and Colonel Kecc said yesterday
the offender 'would be dishonorably dis
charged. He will be kept under guard un
til the conrt martial is held, and it is proba
ble he will not be free in time to attend the
wedding he had arranged. .

IAMS HAS AN ATTORNEY
It ho Will Endeavor to Jnrn Why the Pri

Colonel Snowden lifelines to Discuss the
Alatter at Any Lenfftu.
The remarkable treatment to which Pri
vate lams was subjected to for his actions
and utterances in front of the commander's
headqnarters when the news of the at
tempted assassination of II. C. Frick
reached the camp is still causing muoh
comment both in military circles and else
where. Yesterday the division of responsibility
for the harsh treatment which the private
received was brought up for discussion.
General Snowden, while refusing to discuss
the matter, made public the only order he
had given in the case and which, he says, com
prises his entire" connection with the'affair.
The General refused to allow any of the
other papers in the case to be seen, bnt
denies that any authority was given that
lams' hair and mustache be shorn. His
order was to the effect that lams be
drummed out of camp and that he be
allowed to depart for home as soon as he
had reached camp lines.
It Is intimated that the carrying out of
the torture part of the sentence were the
orders of Colonel Streator and that it was
done without the knowledge of General
Snowden. ,
Attorney Frank P. lams, In speaking of
the case said: "We propose to give Colonel
Streater ample opportunity In court to
prove the regularity or his actions. The
military acts of this State have never been
tested in court before, and this will be a pre
cedent. The military has no official con
nection with Mr. Frick and is ostensibly at
Homestead to preserve the peace, not to
take sides. Mr. Frick Is a citisen, it is
true, bat that does not make him the Str.te,
as General Snowden would have it appear."
Much sympathy is expressed for young
