Held for Murder.
The inquest over the remains of the police
officer Dugan, who was murdered by the anarchist
mob last night was concluded at $40 O'Clock
this evening. Chris Spies and Michael Schwab,
two of the prisoners, made statements In their
own behalf, which damaged rather than helped
them. Schwab admitted he did not believe In
personal God. Schwab was asked great many
questions, and as they were piled to him he grew
pale and excited, and perspiration stood on his
forehead. Fielding made statement that was
uninteresting and unimportant. He said he never
carried anything more dangerous than a pen
knife. Augustus Spies did not make statement,
and the jury retired. They were out half an
hour before agreeing upon verdict. They
recommended that all the prisoners be held for
no ric xpar held without hail.
The jury also recommended that Parsons be
appreheaded and held. Officer Martin Marks
testified at the inquest that he had made search
of the Arbeiter Zeitung once, and in Spies
private room found bundle marked
lot of sawdust sand and nitro-g -glycerine
1t looked exactly the same as that found on
Despanes street after the bomb 1p exploded ptodd last
what is known as "Glant' powder. ThlS In its
ordinary form is brown paper mixed with nitro
gycerine, but in this case 1t was mixed with sand
The effect of this is to make the wounds inilicted
by it more ghastly and ugly than they would be II
twas caused by an explosion i'll its original
form.
1t has been learned that brother of August
Spies was wounded in last nights fight, and VIII
probably die Mrs A. T. N Pafs3ns, we ond oI as Inc
Anarhist was arrested this afternoon ana was
locked up at Central station.
More Strikes.
Another great strike began this morning. Sew
eRteen hundred men employed In the Deering
Harvester works stopped work without notice or
waning of any character, and without having
made any demands. Whether the men had been
influenced by the recent riotous events directed
against the workingmen remaining at their posts
is not known. The managers Of the works have
asked for police protection The works are loca-
ted in the heart of district largely populated by
foreign people.
The situation in the railroad yards was further
complicated this morning, by strike OF all the
freight handlers on the Lake Shore road The
switehmen on the same road also decided not to
handle any freight cars loaded by any persons
other than strikers.
Three thousand men employed In the great car
shops at Pullman, ILL.,, laid down their tools and
went out this morning joining the 1000 who quit
yesterday.
McCormick's reaper works at Chicago, started
up this morning, with what was stated to be
pretty full force. Everything was peaceful. This
condition was contributed to by the presence OF
100 policemen. One man mounted lumber pile
at about 730 O'Clock, and attempted to draw, a
crowd, but he was promptly suppressed and the
crowd di9nprSpd
