Then he slipped out, turned toward the rear of the church and started out, intending to light the fuse of the first bomb as he passed by. His every movement had been observed. As he turned his back to the altar Finelli, Murphy, Croy and Correll jumped on him. Abarno re- sisted but was overcome without diMiculty, As he was struggling Barnets stepped to the lighted bomb and sniffed out the Hghted ond of the fuse bo- tween the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, The fuse was timed to burn about half a minute. All the detectives inside the church started toward the scene of the capture of Abarno. Walsh and Starrett, in their guise of scrubwomes, leaped on and held Polignani, who, to keep up his pretense of being an Anarchist, resisted furiously. Although there was a great doal of excitement in the rear of the chureh the priest celebrating the mass paid no attention to the tumult, and those worshippers who looked around, being unaware of the seriousness of the affair, resumed their prayers, thinking there had been some sort of a minor disturbance The detectives and their captives left the church as rapidly as possible and boarded taxicabs waiting around the corner. As soon as the arrests were made at the Cathedral word was sent quarters where Jnspector Faurot, Capt. Tunney and Assistant District- Attorney Arthur Train questioned the men. Abarno and: Carbone were ‘as yet in ignorance of the identity of their supposed fellow conspirator j Eagan, Chiet of the Bureau of Combustibles, after examination @f the bombs eald thet one weighed 3 8-4 and the other 3 1-2 pounds. The heavier bomb was an instrament, he sald, of cortain death and destruction, because the top was securely fastened with cord and clothes hooks ‘and the explosive contents were in an airtight receptacie. ‘Th cover of the other bomb wes not securely fastened and the explosive power would not have been sufficient to propel the bolts, nuts end slugs. Commissioner Woods, in discussing the arrests, sald that the credit belongs to a group of enthusiastic young policemen, who, under the guid: ance of Capt. Tunney, have worked for weeks on a very diMoult task. He had the highest praise for Polignan!, who lived in constant danger of emsescination should a suspicion of his real mission resch his Anarchist amsociates. In trailing the men the police found that Abarno and Carbone had visited many Catholic churches during the past few weeks and studied the interiors, In each case where the men visited the church the police notified the pastor that if anything unexpected should occur not to be disturbed, but to notify the congregation to remain quiet, as the church wee full of detectives. Since the investigation commenced every Catholic church service where attacks were believed to be planned was attended ‘by many detectives. Frank Creect runs the Liberty Restaurant at No. 1841 Third Avenue and bis wile rents furnished rooms on the upper three floors. Two young men rented a small room from Mrs. Crescl a week ago to-day and paid a week's rent in advance. Only one remained, however. The next day he brought a trunk which he placed in the room. This man, who answers the description of Carbone and called bimsel! Tony, was in the room every afternoon and night up to yesterday. His ded at the Third Avenuc address was not clept in last night. He had per: formed his part of the contract when he delivered the bombs to Abarno yesterday, and last night he slept at No. 218 East Sixty-seventh Street. The truph left at No. 1841 Third Avenue was eelsed by the police this afternoon. ‘When young Carbone was taken to Headquarters the detectives noticed that he kept his right band in his trousers pocket, The reason was dis- Closed when be w mpellod to show that the ends of the fingers and part of the thumb of thi ind are missing and thi Carbone said he suffered the injury to his hand in Italy when he was & young boy.

Our group decided to do something. We decided to open a campaign against the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal Churches, then to terrorize and perhaps destroy the homes of the Rockefellers, Carnegie and some of the Vanderbilts, and finally, when we had the city terrorized, to invade the banks at the head of an army of the poor and help ourselves to the hoards of the rich. “We fixed on St. Patrick’s Cathedral as the place to start because it is the biggest Catholic Church and our demonstration there would attract so much attention. Carbone was selected to make the bomb and he bought the materials uptown. TELLS HOW TO MAKE DEADLY BOMBS. “He made the bomb according to directions in a hook printed in Italian and circulated by the Anarchists, This book tells how to make bombs, how to get the chemicals, how to place them and how to get "So, away. vwe had to find a quiet place ‘to make the bombs and we walked ground around looking for furnished room signs until we found a quiet little room on the top floor, rear of No. 1341 Third Avenue. There Carbone made the bomb.” “You helped him make it,” snarled the policeman-anarchist. “J helped some,” admitted Abarno. “We took the materials to the room in a trunk, which we left there. Had we succeeded to-day we would have used that room as our headquarters for bomb-making. Nobody suspected us.” ‘Abarno insisted that ‘he had no part in the bomb explosions of last October and November, It is believed that Polignani has information that Abarno and Carbone had a hand in the church explosions of October, but that the Bronx County Court House explosion was caused by a Bronx group of Black Handers and anarchists. The parents of Abarno came to Headquarters this afternoon, the mother much distressed and hysterical and the father stolid in his grief. They told Inspector Faurot that up’ to four years ago their son, who was one of eight children, had been extremely religious and had in- splrations to join the priesthood, The boy’s patron saint was St. Anthony, they said. So great was his religious fervor, they declared, that he used to practice flaggelation and would beat his head against the walls of ths home in self-imposed panance, Then “some bad fellows” got an influence over him and the became an unbeliever. ——$—— League to a syndicate of out-of-town] fifth Street to-day.
