London, June G.--Malatesta, the ho- torious anarchist interviewer, said that the news of the attempt. on the life of King Alionso had not surpris- ed him, and that he had been expect- ingit. Asked about the alleged plot in connection with the outrage, he said: 'I do not believe there was any plot. Anarchists act nearly always on their gown account. As for the anarch- ist who is said to have left London, for Spain, some weeks ago, 1 can af- firm that he was presemt only a day or two adn at a meeting of anarch- ists in London." Malatesta asserted that the Spanish monarchy was con- demned, and that fresh att ts upon the life of King Alionso were inevita- ble. Festivities Ended. Madrid, June 6.--~The . celebrations connected with the wedding of King Alfonso and Princess Fnpa practically ended, last night, with a military ta- too, and- torchlight procession. Eight thousand soldiers participated, carry- ing colored lanterns in some of the evolutions, and torches in others. The members of the royal family and the foreign guests watched the spectacle from the balconies of the palace. Many of the foreign representatives' will leave to-day. ' . It is stated that the intended exeur- sion of King "Alfonso and his bride, with their foreign guests, to the heau- tiful summer castle of Aranjuese, on Tuesday, was abandoned, owing fo a report that anarchists from London wad been there. The mavor of Aranjuese denics the presence of anar- chistes, but it is a fact that the excur- sion was not made, It is believed that the bomb "thrown by Morales contained poison.

HL Lif Apparently A Good Citizen " Forged Thousands. : HE LIVED SIMPLY SAYING HIS MEANS COME BY INHERITANCE, Had Served Térm in Penitentiary for Forgery--Out on Good Conduct Reprieve -- Was a Model Husband and Father, Pittsburg, June 6.-~An inheritance received, according to his story, from a relative who was quite wealthy, was the explanation carefully put insidi ously dropped to his neighbors by Boyd H. Stonérode, alias Samuel U, Fletcher, of Coraopolis, in explaming the source of what the police allege were the ill-gotten proceeds of forger- ics extending over a period of seven years. With shrewd carelessness, Stone- rode neglected to mention the amount of the heritage, simply using it fo ac- count for the abundance of funds with which he was alwliys supplied, Stonerode, otherwise Fletcher, had the knack of attracting no attention to himself, appearing to be neither more or less than the ordinary, bor- ough citizen, Out of between twenty-five and thir were pointed out as companions of the ar- rested man, only one was found who even as much as hinted at the peni- tentiary term which, according to in- formation obtained by the detectives later, was served by the alleged forg- er about seven years ago in the Riv- orside institution, Boyd Stonerode first appeared in Coraopolis about four years ago, hav- ing obtained a position as telegraph operators at the Coraopolis station of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie pailroad, Neither did he play the hypocrite by going to church. So quietly and un: ostentatiously did the man conduct himself that there was no disposition on the part of his associates to in- quire .into his past and he never vol unteered any information of the .sort. The man paid his bills promptly, always carried a good balance with the Ohio Valley Trust company, of Coraopolis 'and most of his financial transactions were by cheque, He did not squander. it. The Stone: rode family all dressed well and live there. was ance and no display, is not y apparent where all. the money Stone rode or Fletcher is said to have se- cured was invested. He had $100,000 worth of stock in the Columbia Sav- ings and Trust company. He wore a magnificent diamond ring, however, that must have been worth from $500 to $1,000, If the theories of the detectives are correct «Stonerode, while: posing and living as a middle class citizen of Cor- aopolis, was living another life. as, S. C. Fletcher or under some other name and was victimizing country banks all over Western Pennsylvania, by the cléver forgeries accredited to him now. He would slip away for a few days every now and then explaining to his wife that he was on a business trip. It was from the last of these trips, the destination of which at first was Ambridge, that he did not return, his destination having being changed to Washington county jail by Detective Cecil G. Rice. His wife is an invalid. Almost the most remarkable feature of Stonerode's' career is the quiet, do- mestic life he has lived, his thought- fulness of his family and his ability to keep his neighborhors and all -or near- ly all of his associates in ignorance of | hig real character. No one suspected | him of any such crimes as he has been | accused of since Tuesday, | Stomerode, or Fletoher, carried on all his alleged nefarious dealings in per- son amd apparently single-handed. He | received little mail at Coraopolis, and | apparently had no correspondence wor- thy of mention, His handwriting is remembered now by bankers and the tradespeople who handle his checks as being particularly plain. He could write rapidly and easily, and is seid to have been able to change the style of writing into several different forms, If Stonerode is guilty of all the country bank forgeries in which the police are trving to enmesh him, he must have hegun Sperations immedi- ately upon hig release from the West- ern penitentiary seven years ago. He was sent to prison from Huntingdon, Pa., to serveran eighteen months' sentence for forgery. His term was commuted to fourteen months on ac- sount of good behaviour, By his reticence he kept' all knowl edge of the fact that he was an' ex- conviot from his neighbors and was apprently & respectable citizen of Cor. aopolis. By hit occasichal forages of a few days' duration, into the sur rounding country he is alleged to have muleted the hanks of more in a year than he made hy his salary in twenty years, Stonerode is said to have relatives in the East Bnd, Pittshure, in Michigan, Tyrone, Pa., and Lancaster, Pa.
