cu,cAeo. october 9.-As the concluding
scenes of the great trial of anarchists ap-
psoaches its close, more interest Is taken,
and suppressed excitement is more marked.
Hundreds and hundreds of people wended
their way toward the Criminal Court build
ing, each one desirous of listening to the
conclusion of the speech OF Anarchist Par
sons, and with the expectation of hearing
the death sentence pronounced. Parsons
resumed his speech as soon as the court was
opened. He created something of Q sensa-
tion by decl airing in a very dramatic and
i'm pfessive manner that they had positive
proof that the bomb which created such de.
struction at the Haymarket was thrown by
an agent of New York capitalists and mo-
nop0lists, who sent a man out here to take
that means of breaking UP the strength OF
the anarchist movement.
Anarchist Parsons spoke continuously In
Judge Gary's Court to-day for five hours
and forty minutes and sank into his seat

proceeded to execute the solemn duty de,
volving upon him. The Judge exhibited

The existing order of society can be

Each man has a right to entertain and ad-
vocate by speech and print such opinions
as suit him and the great body of the pe0-
pie will usually care little what he says.
But il he proposes murder as means OF en-

And no clamor about free speech OF evils to
be cured nOr wrongs to be redressed will
shield him from the consequences of his
crime. His liberty is not liceneed to des-

tend to others and not arrogantly assume
