this afternoon. They gave clear, direct
testimony that Feilden not only participa-
ted in the Haymarket riot, as one of the

Quinn, which on Saturday created a sensa-
ton, there having been no previous infor-
nation of proof positive that any OF the
leading defendants had himself personally
attempted the slaughter of police. Officer
Bohner swore that he stood some three or
four feet north of the wagon when the
bomb exploded, and saw Feilden crouch
behind one of the officers.

tors, and with the aid of crutches ho5bled
to the witness stand. He carried thirteen
wounds as souvenirs of the Haymarket
riot. He pointed at Feilden, who had said,

Feilden fire a pistol as the bomb
exploded. The remainder of the after
