no little shrewdness in evading the ques-

ANARCHIST AND PERJURER
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug l0..-The Daily
News charges August Spies, anarchist,
with having committed williul perjury
during his testimony yesterday. In its
leading editorial, the News says: II the
remainder Of Spies testimony is as false
as that relating TO the aye of the bomb he
gave to the reporter Of the News last
January, the whole isas audacious piece
OF perjury as was ever uttered in
the court OF justice. The bomb was
brought direct from the hands of Spies to
this Office. The writer handled 1t, eX-
amined 1t, inquired as to the clrcum-
stances under wnich 1t was obtained. Any
testimony that such bomb had lain In ne
Arbeiter Ieitung office about three yea $,
as sworn to by Spies, is absolutely I'd
Enthusiastically perjury 1t was fresh f.. ~
the hand that made 1t. 1t was composed
Of the same mixture Of lead and tin as
the bomb exploded at the hay-markut
massacre Such bombs come from inc
mold in which they are cast
with a rough, dull colored exterior
In case OF the one given to the News re-
porter by Spies, this rough rind rasped
or iiied away until the whole shone with
tie brightness OF newly cut metal It's
sides bore traces OF where the teeth OF
The file had bitten into the metal. For
any man to pretend that bomb bearing
such palpable evidence of recent manu-
facture had been knocking about IN an
anarchist newspaper Office Tor three years
Is to insult intelligence. When he
goes furtherand swears to such pretense
ne commits willful perjury.
