Tor murder and conspiracy, and there viii
De others when Capt Schaak is in posi-
tlon TO present the evidence. After having
considered number of cases of more or
less importance, the states attorney
thought he might safely intro

out that gentleman's testimony being
published III the newspapers. The North
side oilleer was, therefore, sent for. and on
oelng admitted to the jury room, he stated
1llat ne was IN position to prove that the
alalchlStS mad entered in a conspiracy to
DESTROY LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Inc man Lechtner now in custody and
Gustaf Lehman had told all they knew and
the captain had no doubts as to his ability
10 prove that Spies, Fielden, Schwab. Par
sons Llngg, Fischer, Brown, APPEL, Hirsch-
berger and Schnaubel were also

held in the Arbeiter Zeitung office ON the
night previous to the Haymarket riot de-
cioed to use them in the event CT police
interference. Lechtner had admitted the

agreed to return two bills for murder. con-
splracY and riot against all those known to
have been at the meeting and involved
III the riot. 1t was also decided that if
the authorities had any further evidence
against persons other than those indicted it
would be considered and acted on by the
jury at any time before the expiration of
the present term. 1t is understood that
Michael Schwab will endeavor to prove
an alibi in having been at Lakeview
at the time of the riot in the Haymarket
Unfortunately for Schwab, however. it can
be proven that he left the Lakeview
meeting about $50 p. M, so that if he was
so inclined he could have been at the
Haymarket when the rioting oc-
CURED. Another lot of dynamite and
other explosives was found by the police
to-day ON Paulina street near Kinzie In
spector Bon6eld made some further ex-
periments to-day with the gas pipe bombs
which were found where they had been
secreted by the anarchists. He obtained
heavy pine box measuring siX-foet cube,
and beer key. and taking dozen of the
bombs went off on the prairie
NEAR THE ARTESIAN WELL.
He placed one of the bombs in the large
box and when it exploded both sides of the
box were completely shattered. A bomb
was then exploded inside of beer key.
Although it was built of heavy oak
slaves, and the heads were of oak nearly
two inches thick. the key was blown to
fragments, some of them flying four hun
dred feet away. Two of the bombs were
exploded on top of heavy boulder and
fifteen pound fragments of it were
blown forty feet away. A large
part of the stone was ground to
fragments. In order to Gonna the force
of the bomb Inspector Bondfeld hung one
of the slaves of beer key on wall and
shot at it from about ten feet distance with
heavy Colt revolver, but found the bullet
hardly penetrated-it, while minute pieces
OF the bomb went right through it.
