Arrest of Alexander Berkman Ties Bomb-Thrower to Anarchists
New York police linked Selig Silverstein to anarchist groups but could not prove Berkman knew him. Berkman, secretary of the Anarchists Federated Union, was arraigned after a card signed by him was found in Silverstein’s apartment. He claimed persecution and denied advising violence. Silverstein survived critical injuries from the Union Square blast and faces murder charges if recovered.
