13S ANGELES, Nov. 19. Armed with
tin Infernal machlno containing enough
dynamite to'destroy nn entire city block,
a bottlo of nitroglycerin and a .45-cnllber
rovplvcr, a masked maniac took posses
sion of the central police station today
and held It for moro than an hour, -while
the Hundreds of occupants of tlio building
and thoso for blocks around, panic
stricken, sought the safety of distance.
When Detective James Iloslck knocked
the man unconscious with a leather billy
after slipping behind him, the fuso of the
Infernal machine whs automatically
Ignited, and, without thinking of the
consequence, Detective Samuel I Browne
oarrledtho box outside, tho fuso splutter
ing and spitting sparks, and hurled It Into
tho street. Sticks of high power dyna
mite scattered over tho pavement, while
hundreds of spectators stood apparently
paralyzed by fright, awaiting the detona
tion that would send them Into eternity.
Through' a freak of chance thero was no
explosion and Browne continued kicking
tho Btlcks of dynamite and Jumping on
tho fuso until he had broken tho conncc
Hons and extinguished the. flro.
Lying manacled to u cot In tho receiving
hospital tonight the would-be dynamiter,
who gave his natno as Albert Henry
Lewis, Is suffering with several severe
scalp wounds, but tho police surgeons say
that his injuries aro not serious.
First TliouKlit to He Joker.
Davis entered the outer room of Chief
of Police Sebastian's office at 11 o'clock
this morning. His face and head were
completely covered with a grotesque mask
and ho carried In his arms a large box
covered with cloth. The lox was strapped
around his shoulders and resembled a
small hand organ.
First' startfoa1 W?u tlien amused by the
strange spectacle, Pollco Sergeant It- O.
Hllf, who sdspected a practfcaT ke?
asked tho man what he wanted.
"I'YO got enough dynamite in here to
blow us alt Into eemlty." ho said, "and
I want you to send for tho highest offi
cial of the Southern Pacific railroad."
Tho masked visitor rested tho box on a
filing cabinet and Assistant District At
torney n. O. Graham, who . was in tho
office, started Joking with' him.
"This Is no Joke," said Davis. "I mean
business, and if you don't believe try to
take this away from me. My hand is
fastened in this box and if I pull It out
bang! Wo all die."
A hole had been cut In the box and the
occupants of the room saw for the first
time that tho man's left hand was hid
den In the box.
Wnntu to Mow Up Head Man.
They began to realize, that it was no
Joke. Davis then walked Into the office
of Police Secretary C. B. Snlvely, which
opens into tho private office of Chief Se
bastian, and repeated his request that tho
head official of the Southern Pacific be
summoned. Snlvely nBked him if he had
any proferenco In the man he desired to
blow up, and he replied that ho only
wanted tho head man.
Snlvely then took down the telephone
receiver and pretended to hold ' a con
versation with Paul Shoup, general man
ager of the Pacific Electric company.
"Mr. Shoup is busy, but )ie will bo hero
in about fifteen minutes;" said Snlvely.
"Well, he'd better hurry," replied Davis,
"I'm getUng nervous."
In the meantime Chief Sebastian, who
had a brief conversation with the man
und realized that he was In earnest
ordered the .street roped off for a block
either way and took steps to havo tho
100 prisoners In th eclty Jail removed.
Upstairs In the building two Justices'
courts were In session and both court
rooms were crowded.
A detective passed tho word to a bailiff
In Judge Chambers' court, where a
Japanese was having a preliminary ex
amination on a murder charge beforo a
crowd of his countrymen. The bailiff
whispered to the Judge.
Judicea Adjourn Court.
"Court's adjourned until 2 p. m. Clear
the court room," ordered tho Judge
promptly, and there was a rush for the
stairway. A similar scene was enacted
In Justice Frederlckson's court.
There were not sufficient patrol wagons
to remove the prlioners from the Jail
to the Boyle Henshts prison and two
street cars were sent for. U was an
orderly procedure and the prisoners were
soon on their way to the east side,
guarded by the reserves, who had been
called out.

Striking Coal Miners
Threaten to Attack j
Gamp of the Militia
CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Nov. 19.-ln
face of the fact that conditions In tin
Kanawha coal field woro observed by
military authorities to be us bad as they
have been slnco martial law was declared,
it was decided today to amend Iho ordir
calling out four additional companies of
tho national guard ro that but one com
pany would take tho field. These riie-i
will rcacji the dlsturocJ region by noon
today.
The hundred armed men reported nr
moving toward Paint Creek Junction,
with tho expressed determination of
shooting up tho military headqunrtcrr.
halted at Montgomery, four miles a way,
and were there this morning holding a j
council of war.
It Is believed by the military authori
ties that tho men will not attack, but
will bo present when tho mlltary court
sits, for tho first tlmo to try J. H.
Haines, a lender among the striking
miners, who was arrested several days
ago.
The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad man
agement has sent n hundred or more
nrmcd railroad officers tc the Pnlnt
Creek section to guard Its tracks ami net
In conjunction with tho military. Military
opinion is that the, situation Is delicate
and requires the most careful handling
to prevent a collision between tho military
and strike, sympathizers.
Squads of militiamen scoured tho mar
tial law district today In search of jxjr
sons bearing arms, and a large number of
arrests aro expected beforo nightfall.
The miners' camp nt Holley Grove was,
the objective of ono company of soldiers,
but It was deserted when tho troops ar
rived. Many striking miners and their sym
pathizers havo left their homes, and thoso
who have been camping In tents along the
public roads disappeared when tho news
came that the provost marshal had de
termined to arrest all persons known to
bo operating ,ln defiance of Governor
Glasscock's proclamation of martial law.

Tho Jury which has been hearing tho cvl

cided today when it returned ugalnst
them a verdict of murder in the first do

looking straight ahead ns tho foreman of
the Jury rose to make known tho results
of its deliberations and they continued to
starts stolidly in front of them until tho
formnlltlos of the proceedings were con
cluded. Remanded to their cells In tho Tombs
until tomorrow morning, when Justice
Goff will fix the duy for Imposing sen
tence, they turned and filed- out of tho

An they entered tho door leading over

The final daiiof the trial opened with
Justice Goff's charge to the Jury, which
occupied three hours. The charge empha
sized many points in the testimony of the
cunmen which the prosecution In Its sum

fatal to the credibility of their stories.
"If the defendants' contention were truo

"Did the defendants tell the truth when
they tald they aw Itosenthal shot, and
.ero near enough to distinguish the faces
of those who did the shooting, but did
not see Rosenthal fall? Was the testi
