It Is the belief of the an- archists that only by. assassination of public officials and of men of great wealth can the power of the ‘“au- tocratic rulers” be broken. ° There- fore, outside of personal enemies, an- archists are the only ones likely to attempt such wholesale murder to ob- tain their “justice.” Clues More Meager. The clues in this case were few. Bits of the wagon were found. Shoes from the horse were traced to the blacksmith who made them, and pleces of the harness led to the man from whom it was purchased. But the blacksmith could not fix definitely the man who had ordered the horse- shoes, and the harness maker could not remember to whom he had sold the harnes: Then, in May, ceived from Seattle, Wash., tha Willlam Kolohs, in custody professed to “know all about the Wall street explosion.” And it was from him that Bureau of Investigation agents obtained what they believe is a reliable account of the explosion. According to his story, Kolohs de- cided to join the radical movement which sailed for Moscow April 13 1922, and made himself one of a party of 70 men and 10 women. This party sailed on the steamship Ad atic, and 4 of the 70 men bound for Moscow were 4 of those who had participated in the plot. Not only were they implicated, but one of the 4 was the one who had placed the bomb in the wagon. He boasted of it openly among the pas- sengers, Kolohs said, and was proud of being the one who had caused the death of the 35 persons. He was about 23 years old, Kolohs said, had brown hair and smooth sharp-cut face and weighed about 150 pounds. He also gave the name of the man. Story as He Heard It. While 1 was on the ship,” he told agents in Seattle, “I heard the Wall explosion discussed several But I never was able to s cure particulars until we had arrived in Russia.

The man isn't even paid for his horse vet’ “I was much interested, of course, because I had read about it in the papers. 1 talked to him quite a whils and he told me just how it happened “Just before the bomb went off, he told me, he jumped down from the wagon and ran around the corner into a restaurant, where he waited for the explosion to take place. When heard the noise he went k and looked around the corner of the building. When he saw that the ex- plosion was a success he turned and ran away. 1923, word was re- he | 5 PASS RELIGIOUS LAW.

In explaining why he didn’t remember the name of the restaurant, Kolohs said he had heard 50 many strange things, most of them in Russian, that he was unable to re- call all of them. This statement, obtained by In- spector Scott, in Seattle, Kolohs said he would be willing to repeat at any time, and took his oath as to its truthfulness. Meanwhile, the man ac- cused is being watched, held in $10.000 ball, which he furnjshed, and the Gov- ernment hopes to apprehend the other three, when all will be brought to trial. {Copyright, . by Clicago Daily News Co.)

TRAIL OF “REDS” IN AMERICA Inside Story of Wall Street Bombing, When Thirty- Five Persons Were Killed and Fifty Wounded. BY JACOB SPOLANSKY. CHAPTER 12. On September 16, 1920, shortly before noon, a rickety wagon drew up opposite the Wall Street office of J. P. Morgan & Co. As it halted, the driver and his com- panion, both poorly dressed, alighted and walked down the street, turned the corner and disappeared. Five minutes later a terrific explosion rocked the neighborhood, killing 35 per- sons and wounding eome 50 more. In the confusion which followed none noticed the shabbily dresscd man half a block away peering around the corner of a building toward the scene of dis- aster. He stood for & moment, then slowly wiped his chin, turned and made his escape through the crowd. Yet it is that man who is believed to have caused the explosion ; who, fol- lowing a carefully laid plan, rented the wagon and placed the bomb; who, months later boasted of the disaster as an achievement, and offered to show his doubting companions exactly where he stood when the explosion occurred. Many Suspects Takem. Immediately following the explosion, under the personal direction of William J. Flynn, then chief of the Bureau of In- vestigation, an extensive round-up of radicals, anarchists and communists in the New York district was made. Many suspects were taken, but no reliable in- formation was obtained from them, al- though from time to time various “solu- tions” and “confessions” have appeared. William Lind, alias Wolfe Linden- beld, a cousin of Rosa Luxemburg, the German anarchist leader, was arrested as a suspect shortly before Christmas in Warsaw. He was even said to have con- fessed, giving the names of the ring- leaders, and had agreed to return to the United States to testify. - Besides him, various others were taken into custody at different times, only to be released later when no evidence could be found ul) connect them with the actual explo- sion. In these several ‘“confessions” the Government took little interest, for Fed- eral agents already possessed what they believe to be the only reliable solution Hotel Inn Phone Main 8108-8109. 604-610 9th St. N.W. $7 rooms, $6 weekly: $10.50 rooms, $8; $14 with toilet, shower and lavatory. $10: 2 in toom, 50.per cent more.

Raids by the Government followed, in which every effort was made to seize all participants in the convention. Now cvery one at that time believed that the purpose of the Government in making that raid was to break up the Communist conven- tion, and such is still the belief. Yet the real purpose of raiding that con- vention in the woods was not to seize some scores of “Teds.” but to effect the arrest of one particular anarchist- Communist who, according to infor- mation 1 had reccived, was to attend that meeting. And it was this an- archist who was suspected of being one of the originators of the Wall street bomb plot. The name of this man, for obvious reasons, cannot be revealed. Ho has been under constant observation of the Federal agents for the last year, with the hope that by following his movements the identity of the others might be learned. The story in the hands of the Bureau of Investigation reveals an anarchist plot aimed at ofticials of Morgan & Co., as one of a series of murders carefully planned by anarchists who made their final plans in New York.
