ANARCHISTS TRIALS,

a Convicted Inf0rmer Tells How PIots
Against the Emperor We're Haiched. 4
VIENNA, June 2G.-The trial OF the
twenty-three Graiz anarchists which COM
menced on June II WAT concluded to-day.
The chief witnesses for the prosecution
were the Anarchist Podboy who was con-
victed in January Of high treason and
turned informer, and his wife. Podboy's
testimony was to the effect that in January
lest the anarchists were entirely under the
command Of a committee in New York.
They organized clubs and made collections
weekly for party purposes, including the
purchase Of arms; and in March, 1883,
they had three secret sittings when the as
eaesination Of the Emperor was discussed,
and this they resolved to accomplish BY
means OF bombs during his visit to Gratz
at the popular fete Of last year. These
meeting, the witness said, were presided
over by Michael ksphauf, who read letters
from America announcing that the necee1.
ary bombs were already on the way, and
those present were invited vuMhteer for
the deed, support being promised for the
family OF the man, selected, whereupou all
present, about 50, rose and lots were cast.
The informer'a wife testiGsd to having
heard from her husband that several Of the
conspirators had been singled out for the
journey to Franco to receive the bombs on
their arrival from America. 4 A New York
letter read at one Of the meetings, her hus.
band had said, wrs signed by Justus
Schwab, we'll known Anarchist. The
prisoners were indicted for, high treason
and an attempt on the Emporerfs life, but
were acquitted Of both charges, Podboy
and his wife contradicted themselves re.
peatedly on the Gro, ro,se1smlnation. It Wet
plain from the evidence, however, that
the prisoners were members OF Socialistic
society, at the meetings Of which speeches
were made relating to the alleged wrongs
Of the working classes likely to disturb the
peace and the prieoners were convicted Of
conspiring against public ORDER but were
let oil with light sentences. %s,s <. We
