The Fuhninating-cap Theory Exploded by Finding Fragments of Gas Pipe in His Cell. It has been settled that Louie Lingg, the anarchist, killed himself with a dynamite bomb and not a fulminating cap, ae was at first eupp »sel. A Chicago dispatch says: His cell wai given a thorough overhauling on M nday. for the first time since his suicide, in order to put it in shape for other prisoners. During the search shattered pieces of gas pipe were found, showing conclusively that Lingg had exploded a dynamite bomb iu his mouth and not a fulminating cap. Ono o' these pieces is over an inch long, and appears to have been torn longitudinally from a larger piece by an explosion. The remnant is in the possession of Sheriff Matson, who keeps it as a souvenir of the most desperate man -ever under his charge. The coud.tion of the walls of Lingo’s cell also bears out the theory that a bomb was used by him.
