Anarchists Draw Lots to Slay Presi dent, McKinley—Fourteen Arrested. Xew Iork, Aug. 18.—Instead of two, a high government official states that there are 14 anarchists under arrest at the detention prison of the bureau of immigration. They are all charged with being in a conspiracy to assassinate I lesident McKinley aud have been taken singly and in pairs from incoming ocean liners within the last ten days. United States secret service agents learn that an anarchist circle in Naples had cast lots to see who would be the assassin. Eleven Italiaus and three Austrians were selected. Closely foi- lowed, they sailed for different ports. Iheir object was to strike individual blows at the president at the same time. That would make success sure. As fast- as the men arrived secret ser vice agents, disguised as emigrants, went among them and they were ar rested. Maresca and Weida, caught yesterday, were two of 14. 1 ‘ The conspiracy was made on a night early in August. By working with the Italian police the secret service agents got wind of a great meeting of the circle in Naples. The men selected for the work in this country were quickly noti fied what they were to do, separated, going singly or in pairs to different- ports in Europe. Some went to France, others to Germany, while still others crossed the channel to England. Step by step they were followed to the gang plank of steamers. “The 14 are now detained by the emi gration authorities and are either at the barge office at the battery or the deten tion quarters at Quarantine. “One report is to the effect that some are in Ludlow street jail, having been takeq there from Ellis island in order to thwart any attempt to rescue them by Paterson anarchists.” Details of the Plot. So far as known the plan was for each man to proceed to Washington at once on a certain date. They were to sur round the president and wait for an op portunity to strike. The blow was to be by a pistol aud knife. One of the number, it was certain, would be suc cessful. The question of escape was not considered, the men being willing to sacrifice their lives for their principles. The two men who did not meet their fellow anarchists were Maresca and Weida. Chief Wilkie of the secret ser vice division of the treasury department had his agents at the pier when the steamer docked. The two men did not come in the steerage as did the others. Maresca came as a steward in the steerage and Weida as a coal passer. They could have landed without going through the formality of the barge office. When Maresca boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Naples Aug. 3 a secret service agent was close on his heels. Maresca professed to have no money when he boarded the steamer, and made application to he taken as cook. Fail ing in that he asked for a stewardship. There was a vacancy in the steerage cabin aud he secured that. It was not known that he had a companion. He and Weida did not come aboard to gether. As far as known no one saw Weida come aboard and he was not dis covered until six hours after - the vessel sailed, " hen found he was secreted as a stowaway. He was put to work in the hold with the coal passers and kept busy until the boat reached Quarantine. The Kaiser Wilhelm touched Gibraltar Aug. 6 and then sailed for New York. Two Taken Into Custody. On Wednesday morning last the ship sighted Sandy Hook light, came up to Quarantine and was there boarded by secret'service men, who asked to see the steerage and cabin lists and the ship’s roster. First Officer Lanz took the detectives forward where they could see the crew. Purser Meyer remembered recording the name of Maresca at Naples and Maresca was identified by Meyer when the for mer was brought out for identification. Maresca professed to be unable to un derstand English. After looking Ma resca over W. H. Hazen, in charge of the secret service bureau of this city said: “I think that is the man.” Maresca was sent- below when the ship was docked. When the liner tied up at her pier Maresca was informed that he was under detention. He was asked where his baggage was and re plied in Italian: “Weida has it.” This was a new lead and Weida was summoned from his work at the furnace and questioned. He professed not to understand English, but admitted that he had trunks on board. So quietly were both men taken from the liner that none of the crew or passengers kuew that an arrest had been made. About 10 o’clock Antonio Weida, who says he is a brother of the detained Weida, and who lives in this city, called at the barge office, accompanied by a lawyer, aud asked to see his brother. He saicl: AVcida’s Brother Talks. “My brother, father, mother, sister and myself all lived at Sorrento, near Naples, until four months ago. My brother and I had been soldiers in the Italian navy. When I came to America four mouths ago he was in the navy. I did not expect him on this boat, al though I kuew he intended following me to America. I do not believe he ever belonged to any anarchist, socialist, po litical or secret society. He was never imorisoned nor arrested to my knowl edge. We have no relatives in this country, except an uncle in this city. I am positive my brother knows no an archist in Paterson or New York.” Chief Hazen admitted that the two men were supposed to be anarchists and confirmed the story of the plot hatched in Naples in August to kill President McKinley. Further than this Chief Hazen declined to talk on the ground that he was in communication with Chief Wilkie in Washington, who had asked that all news concerning the sus pects come from him (Wilkie). Chief Wilkie Makes a Statement. Chief Wilkie is quoted as saying: ‘ ‘Tho two men are not arrested. They are simply detained at Quarantine. They will he deported when the Kaiser Wilhelm goes back to Europe. It is true that on Aug. 1 this government was advised from Naples that Maresca had left Italy for the United States with, the purpose of attacking the president. It was said the man was a most unde sirable immigrant. I may have a more interesting story to tell later. Chief Hazen was interviewed at ms office in the federal building today. He refused to give the technical charge 6H which Maresca and Weida were de tained. He further said Maresca is a typical anarchist. A number of papers in Italian were found on the two ihen aud ha ve been turned over to Commis sioner Fitcbie. No weapons were found on either of the men. Captain Howard, supervising inspec tor of the contract labor bureau, has charge of the suspects during the ab sence of Immigration Commissioner Fitcbie aud Deputy Commissioner Mc- Sweeney. Captain Howard refused to allow any one to see the prisoners and said no Italiaus had called to inquire about them. Maresca and Weida spent Thursday said Friday nights on the Narragansett, which is moored off Ellis island. Yes terday they were kept in the detention pen in the barge office.
