In a bold move, New York authorities yesterday brought the notorious anarchist leader John Most to justice, ending a reign of inflammatory rhetoric and seditious speech that had long been tolerated. Inspector Byrnes led the crackdown, seizing Most in his office at 1 pm and tossing him into a cell at police headquarters. The high priest of anarchy spent a sleepless night, no doubt envisioning the dire consequences of his impending arraignment before Judge Cowing. This dramatic turn of events marks the culmination of a plan hatched by Superintendent Murray last week, as the anarchist community reeled in the aftermath of the Chicago executions.
