A ninth Important arrest was madu today In the hunt for last Saturday's preparedness parade dynamiters when Julius Kohn, alias Louis Gastner. a waiter and associate of others held in connection with the plot, was appre hended after the police had combed the city for him for two days. Kohn Is an Austrian, and according to Captain Duncan Matheson. head of the bomb bureau, is a rabid anarchist Fickert Indicated that the two sus pects he referred to wanted to give the police lniform.-ttlon regarding the part played by others In the bomb plot and that a statement from Billings re garding the case had been If! police hands since yesterday. Attorney Kelsner. representing Leo Weinberg, a Jitney bus driver, and one o the suspects, applied for a writ of habeas corpus early in the day to free his client. Fickert countered this move "by announcing that he would at once file a charge of murder. The head of the alleged rlnp is still at large, police said, but he is under surveillance and may be taken at any ume, according to one official A ball of steel, an automobile bear- ing of an odd size, waa the prime clew I should have been loliowed. or any which Is aiding the police in weaving th,nff that slloulJ have ,,een do,le- and about Billings a net of circumstantial evidence which caused his arrest. Fickert this mornlnsj revealed that a number of what heretofore have been regarded as "slugs" found In the bodies of persons killed by the bomb, were really ball bearings. Bearings found In Billings' room were identical In size, Fickert said. Billings worked some time ago for the Cadillac garage, he said. He was discharged and a number of bearings were later found to be missing, eaid the district attorney. THREE MORE ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED; WOMAN IS GIVEN EXAMINATION San Francisco, Jiy 29. rrh, . . -- - tt.n".Xa cisco DomD outrage are expected be fore Monday. Admission was made today by one police official that the Supposed ringleader has not yet been taken into custody, although a minute description of him Is in the hands of the police. While Wirren Billings, held as the most Important suspect thus far taken, has been entangled In a maze of cir cumstantial evidence, there is a theory that he may have been merely a tool Of a "higher up." . Detectives are expected to establish definitely today whether Thomas Mooney and nls wife were connected with the dynamiting. Mrs. Moonev "was put through a severe cross exam ination based on the identification of a hat She is said to have worn last Saturday. This hat was identified by Miss Kstelle Smith, who has already identified Billings ss a man she saw on the roof of a Market street build ing shortly before the bomb exploded. j The bomb squad Is also investigat ing the story of M. T. Prendergast, an Oakland gardener, which givea a new angle to the theories thus far ad vanced. He said a man slightly resem bling: Billings In stature, but much darker in complexion, placed . hand satchel at the corner of Steuart and Market street Saturday afternoon. Prendergast further declared that he was looking directly at the satchel When the explosion occurred. 'District Attorney Fickert reiterated his denial that Billings had confessed and said: "Billings has been held, as we sup posed. Incommunicado. Yet. durlngv nis interview with Miss Smith yester- flay when she Identified him. he re fused to talk, saying: 'I intend to stick by the rest of the boys.' "There Is no way that he could have known about 'the rest of the boys" ex cept through some sub rosa communi cation. I have given up hope of get ting a confession from him." . All the suspects are held in different parts of the city prison. A local newspaper today printed an interview with Billings, in which he was quoted as saying he held no ani mosity against Mls Smith because she had identified him. but that he "feels orry for her." "She couldn't have done it unless she thought it was the truth,-' he said. "I cannot understand why she did it." When asked" what defense he expect ed to make. Billings said: "I suppose I will trust to luck." Puters Plead, Trial Set for August 14 San Francisco, July 29. (P. N. S.) 8 A. D. Puter of Berkeley and his son. W. S.
