NBW YOHK , Doc. 0. The detective force of
Iho police department and the dotocttvo form
of the press of the city were yesterday us
busy as bees In a tar bucket each and all
icurrylng after an Identification of the mad
wretch who blew himself Into pieces at Hus-
Boll Sago's office Friday last. Ouo of many
clues focussed at the morgue where the do-
I tachod part of Iho bomb-thrower , with Its
tumbled hair and palld lace and n taring ores ,
j
I Is now on exhibition for the purpose of
1 recognition ,
Orinnl/.cI to Kill.
Identification was believed to hnvo boon
effected , and along with the Identification
there comes a story. It is romnrkaolo , bo It
true or not. It goes to show the existence of
an organ l/ed band of capitalist extermina
tors. It makes the bomb thrower ono of the
band. The Idontlllcution was made by and
' ' the story comes from one Captain Harry
Homo , who identified the head uttho morgue
as that of a man whom ho had mot sovorul
times and with whom ho had frequently con
versed. Captain Ilorr.o , who was originally
i Interested in Wild West shows , is now a
lecturer In Worth's museum , and It was
I there ho first met the bomb thrower In the
latter part of September.
1 "Ho eamo to me with a letter of Introduc
tion from some person whoso name I don't
remember , " anlu Home to Inspector Byrnes ,
"and made an engagement to meet mo the
following afternoon. I mot him and ho asked
uio to with him to lecture on monopolies in
railroad and shipping Interests , which ho
, wanted put under government control , oft > r-
1 Ing mo tiuo for every lecture delivered. Ono
of the features ol the lecture was the propo
sition that all railroads carry passengers at
the same rate as frolght , by which arrange
ment men cnnld travel across the continent
for a few dollars whereas It now costs $00 or
830.
830."Ha said that all the prominent railroad
man , Gould , Sago , Dcpaw und other mag
nates , would bo Invited to attorn ! Iho lectures
and bo convinced of the errors of their ways ,
In cso they did not accept the Invitations a
latter would bo sent to them and If they per
sisted In refusing then bombs would boused.
"Ho said no was a member of a strong
organisation to lovolutlonlro matters in the
interest of the poor peonlo. It was a religious
organization and would bo the largest in the
country in two years. God was with it and
it was bound to succeed. If unv ono of the
monopolists refused to oo what was right
toward thn people no would bo killed by some
raombur of the organization to bo chosen by
lots.
Inducements to Join the Society ,
"In order to got mo to accept the position
of lecturer ho assured mo that while X must
become a member of the organization , I
i would nnvor bo compelled to do any of the
killing.
i "Ho said ho could do the lecturing him
self , but ho was apt to bccomo oxcltod und
make remarks of too incendiary a nature.
This ho claimed to have done in San Fran
cisco , and as a result had been airostcd three
times and heavily fined.
"Ho Introduced mo to several people , ono
of whom , a short , dark complexioned man
with a black mustache and short board ,
talked to mo In the same strain.
I "I finally became afraid of the two men
i and avoided thorn us much as possible. Ono
! day about six weeks ago I saw dynamiter No.
i 1 standing In front of tbo museum. I slipped
[ ' iu a side door , and a few minutes later a
doorkeeper brought a card on the back of
which was written :
I called , but fullod to sou yon this after
noon , October 21. Would you please wrltu me
where you uro stooping and when I can see
you there ? Unroof .Morris hotel ,

On the face of the card was printed :

and railway lines. Tickets to all points.
Drafts from ono pound upward , payable ut
all points In the Unltud Kingdom.
"That was the lost thno I suwof him until I
BOO his body in the morgue today. "
Inspector Byrnes sent Dctcctivo Ilnnloy
with Captain Homo to the Morris hotel , at
U West street , and saw Benjamin Moiris ,
the son of the proprietor. Ho said that
Southworth had stopped at the hotel lor four
or five weeks , but left there two weeks ago
* to go to South America , where ho claimed to
ti bavominlng interests.
ji Captain Home described dynamiter No. 2
I who has been introduced to him by the dead

II that it was undoubtedly Suuthwortb. Ho
also Ulcntll'oJ the Inscription on the back of
the curd Captain Uoruo received on October
31 , as Soulhworth's writing. Morris , was
tulton to the morgue oy Ilnuley , but ho failed
It to Identify the dead man us anyone no had
| ! overseen before.
At 7 o'clock last night inspcctpr Byrnes
sent a telegram to Chief of Police Crowiovof
San Francisco asking if any such man had
boon arrested In the past two yours for muk-
lug incendiary speeches.
Inspector Byrnes also said that the dead
dynnmltnrluul been Idontltlou at the morgue

names ho did not glvo , as a man whoso pecu
liar actions caused much comment
In the Metropolitan hotel bur room

, and than r us neil out. Ha soon came back
and inquired about n toothpick ho had loft

On Friday morning nt 11 o'clock ho entered

today by the arrest of William Southworth ,
the man who sought to Interest Hurry

organization for the general betterment of
mankind by Iho overthrowing of monopolies.
It was said yesterday that Southworth had
gone to Central America , but ho was found
by inspector Byrnes' men near the city and
taken to police headquarters.
Southworth U undoubtedly a crank and
confessed to lnsioctor ( Byrnes that ho hud
boon an inmate of a lunatic asylum. Ho was
taken to tha morgue and shown the head of
the dynamite- , but said ha had never seen It
In Ilia. In that particular , ho contradicted
the story of Home , who nald the dead man

Iu this conversation ho referred repeatedly

fatally Injurud , After being removed to his
homo it was ascertained that tha splnous

The spinal cord hud boon so tightly com
pressed that the victim's entire bodv wus

his head upright und any sudden move or jar
will snap the spinal cord. Evan tha fact that
ho has lived twenty-four hours Is looked
upon as a remarkable circumstance.

ST. Louis , Mo. , Doc. (1. ( Thut an extra
session of the Missouri legislutuni will soon
bo called Is the belief of many persons in a
position to form n correct opinion. Governor
frauds has been in somodoubtus to whether
the additional elector given the state In the
now apportionment enacted by congress cau
bo legally elected In the biiino manner us pio-
vldod for the election of additional con
gressmen In the event of the failure ot a
legislature to redistrlct a state , as was the
case ut the last session of thu Missouri
locislature. Upon this ( juoslon the
governor bus sought high legal advice and
us recently as last Thursday the formal opin
ion of Gourpo Hough of this city was far-
worded to the governor , who Is now In Wash-
ton. Tbo opinion wus written at the request
of Iho governor , unit declares In effect that
the additional presidential elector cannot bo
voted for at largo legally. It Is almost safe
to say that n now sesUon will bo called. The
governor , however , while absent will consult
with other legal lights , whoso opinions may
have weight with him. Ho Is anxious to save
to the state the expense of an extra session ,
but will not do so at the cost of n vote In the
electoral college , / decision wilt probably
bo leached bv tlio governor soon utter bU
return from the east , probably not later than
Christmas.
