CHICAGO, August 6.-The expecta-
ton appeared to be general this morn.
ing that some Of the defendants charged
with the HaymMket massacre would be
placed upon the witness-stand by the
defence, and as . consequence there was
more than the usual effort by the friends
Of the accused TO obtain admittauce to
the courtroom.
DIR. John NJ. Fleming was called by
Mr.. Foster, ard said he was one Of the
physicians who was in attendance upon
the wounded at Desplaines-Street sta
tion on the night of May 4th. Witness
said there were about twelve citizens at
the station who had sustained injuries.
lie extracted q bullet from the knee OF
an officer who he thought was Officer
Kruger. Witness said the bullet cor
responded, as nearly as he was able to
Judge, with the revolver bullets used
by the police.
Counsel said be desired to show that
Kruger remarked that the bullet came
from q police revolver.
Objected TO and the objection sus-
tanned.
Witness said he extracted bullet
from the shoulder Of shoemaker, and
it appeared to be the same as that
taken from Kruger. A. bullet was
taken from the body of . dead man
brought into the police station which
also APPEARED TO correspond with the
other bullets.
On cross-examination he said he
would not be able to testify as to the
calibre of the bullet or IS to what kind
of q revolver it was fred from.
Otto Wsndrey, who could not speak
English, testified that before the Hay
market meeting concluded he and the
defendant Fischer went to Zepfs Hall,
and were there drinking beer when the
bomb exploded. lie testified that he
also saw Parsons there at the same
time. He did not see Mrs. Parsons
there at the same time. This latter
assertion coDtrsdictsd the other wit
nesses for the defence. On cross
examination, he said he belonged to the
group of lnternationalists of which
Fischer and EDgel were members.
Edward Preusser testified that
Schwab arrived at Deering Hall to
make a speech about $50 o'clock on
the night of May 4th, and addressed
tire meeting at Deering about GAS
o'clock, speaking fifteen or twenty
minutes; and when he concluded speak
ing Schwab went with witness to q
drinking-saloon and remained there ten
or fifteen minutes. Schwab then took
csr and returned to the city. According
to this testimony Schwab could not have
been at the Haymarket meeting later
than Q O'Clock at night, and could not
have returned to Haymarket earlier
than l0:45 O'Clock.
On cross-examination, witness said
be was g carrier for the Ar6eiter-
Zeitung. He could not state the time
precisely. Fritz Settler was also pres
emit at the Deering meeting, and heard
scbwab speak there that night.
Herman Booker, who lives on Ran
dolph street near Haymarket, said he
saw Schwsb on Haymarket q few min
.tes after s o'clock on the night Of May
4th. and afterwsrd saw him take q
! street-car and 60 East.
The testimony OF these witnesses does
not contradict that of the State, except
that Of Gilmer, who stated that he saw
him in company with Spies just prior
to the explosion.
Phineas II. Adams testified that he
would not believe Gilmer under oath.
lie could not specify any particular
facts to base his opinion upon, except
that two men who lived near Gilmer
spoke in that way of him.
Heinrich Witt, who could not speak
English, testified that Spies was request
ed TO make a speech on the " Black
road" to the meeting on May Sd,
which resulted in the Mccormick riot,
and gave resume Of that occurrence.
lie declared that Spies, when the attack
was made upon McCormick's, urged
his bearers not to join in the attack.
This afternoon the testimony was
generally uninteresting. Mrs. Holmes,
one of the editors OF the Alarm and
Arbeter Zeitung, testified and defined
the word anarchy to mean "no gov
eminent" Being asked if she was an
Anarchist she answered that she was.
Mr.. Ingbam asked: "Does anarchy
imply the use Of force in any wsy?'
sit does not" was the reply. Its
very meaning indicates that it is OPP
posed 10 force"
Mr.. IDghAm then read satirical
production written by the witness for
the Alore, telling tramps that the law
had no place for them alive, and was
bored By them dead, and advising them
to Jump into the lake." concluding
with the italicized words, COR, stay
have YOU a match?n "What did you
mean by those words" asked Mr..
Inghsm, "if you don't advocate
force?"
81 did not say ! do not advocate
force"
Then, there can be Anarchists who
advocate the use OF force ?"
Yes.n
Well, what did you mean by thee
words Have you match y"
Mrs. Holmes refused to answer. say
ing that the article spoke for itself.
