New York, October 11—A dis-
patch to the Journal and Advertiser
from Rome says:
Anarchist Bertillani who was ar-
rested at Milan as a suspected ac-
complice of Bresci, has made a
confession about the anarchist
plots. "For a long time," he said, "It
was I who sent the letter to the
crown prosecutor at Naples warn-
ing him in advance that Italian an-
archists were coming from America
to kill the king, but they paid no at-
tention to my letter. At an anar-
chist meeting in Paterson, N. J.,
seven men were selected to kill kings
and chiefs of states. One of them
was allotted to kill McKinley or
Bryan during the presidential cam-
paign. I don't know the name of
the man assigned to this city. The
recent Chicago plot was indepen-
dent of that hatched at Paterson. I
believe other plots having the same
object have been organized in the
United States. Anarchists have
killed kings and queens, now they
should kill the president of re-
publics to show the world that for
anarchists there
are neither
monarchies nor republics, and that
a king is as cheap as a president.
