EVIDENCE FOR THE STATE.

CHICAGO, uly 29.--In the Anarchist trial
yesterday Harry Gilmer swore that be en-
tered Cranes alley while Fielden was
| speaking at the Haymarket meeting; that
| there was little knot of persons in the al
/ ley; that man came from the wagon to
the alley just Immediately after cry Of
| Here come the police;' that this man
lit match and touched it to fuse
held by another man; and that this
latter man flung the burning fuse and its at
| tachment out into the street. The man who
| Lit the match he identified as Spies the man
who held and threw the bomb he identified
by photograph as Schnaubelt Fischer he
| identified as one Of the little knot of persons
| in the alley; and he believed Schwab was
the man at the end of the wagon whom
Spies had spoken to before coming into the
] alley. The cross-examination failed to
| shake the witness in any point but
/ tended rather to make him more emphatic
| in his statements. The evidence in one re
| spect is strongly corroborative of Witness
| Thompsons story. IL goes TO prove that
| Schnaubelt had the bombin his possession.
Then came Officers 6cnuttler and Low
enstein, who testified to Lingg's ar
rest and to the stuff captured at
| the house where he lodged A bucketful of
| lot OF metal. solder. bolts and nuts, shells
| and carpenters TOOLS and cold chisel,
| metal drill and small iron pot we're
| brought into court, all Of which
had been found in Lingg's bedroom,
| besides another extra big revolver
| and Winchester rifle. His trunk was also
brought in. After the police brought the
trunk from Lingg's lodgings to the East
Chicago avenue station they found it had
false bottom, and the space between the
| false and real bottom was found to be
| filled with dynamite The bolt-nuts found
| in his room are exactly similar to the one
| shot into the tailor Hahn at the Haymar-
ket explosion.
CHICAGO, July 80. = In the Anarchist
| trial yesterday DR.. J. B. Murphy gave a
| graphic and narrowing account of the
| effects of the bomb and the sufferings of
| the wounded and diving. He had attended
| nearly thirty of the victims of the ex-
| plosion, soma of them at the DesplaInes
street station and others at the hospital.
Describing in detail the wounds of the
chief sufferers, he told CHASTITY story of
mangled bones and ragged quivering
who caught the full force of the ex-
| plOding she'll. Some pieces of shell that
left but small surface wound had torn
great jagged tunnels through lungs,
| liver or intestines, while others that
| had torn off Jumps of surface flesh
| had left the internal organs untouched.
| The incidental description of the suf-
| ferings of Jacob Hansen, Timothy Flayin,
Lawrence Murphy, Nicholas Shannon,
| Thomas Redden and Bernard Murphy
| were extremely painful to many OF the
| listeners, and moved some of them to
| tears.
| Police Captain Setback described an in
| terview with Lingg the day the latter was
! arrested. Lingg freely confessed he had
! made dynamite bombs and intended to use
thny ,t~+ f1aa H. L r.la4
| the dynamite in a store on Lake street.
| had learned how to use it from
! Herr Most's book, and had experimental
| successfully with some bombs of his own
| make. Captain Setback then described his
| experiments with some of Lingg's dyna-
| mite, and exhibited as evidence of it's
| power the broken metal and plank already
| referred to- The bombs, cartridges, fuse,
/ etc, were also put in evidence.
| CHICAGO, July 31.-At $3.50 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon the States-Attorney in
| formed the judge and jury in the Anarch-
lists trial that he had rendered all his evi.
| dence against the accused, with the excep-
| ton of some formal matter which he pro-
poses to put in this morning. An adjourn
ment was then taken until to-day. The
strength of the case against the accused
can now be fairly estimated.
| States Attorney Grinnell claims that
| the State has proven: ID That there were
| IN Chicago an organization of Anarchists
| whose purpose was the destruction of life
and property and the subversion of social
order ~ That this organization existed in
| Chicago for over two years and that the
| eight prisoners were active members of it,
| % That the accused prepared for the
social revolution by the manufacture of
dynamite bombs, by drilling, arming and
organizing. IA That il was determined to
inaugurate the revolt on or about the 1st
of May, 1886, taking advantage of the labor
n fYnnhlQS Iikn1y FL nt hot TINA fn,.
the purpose. (5) That the night preced-
ing the Haymarket explosion the insur-
rection was finally determined on, the
signal agreed to, the weapons distrib-
uted, and the plan. of operations for
sacking of the city arranged. (6) That in
pursuance of these plans the bomb was
fired winch killed and wounded so many
of the policemen, and that the Anarchist
conspirators on trial had guilty knowledge
OF the intention to throw it, assisted in its
manufacture anc caused it to be exploded.
Charles B. Prouty, formerly manager of
| a gun-store, testified that Engel and his
wife came to his store last fall and wanted
to purchase two hundred revolvers of a
certain pattern for use by some society.
Witness could not get them, and the
would-be purchasers said they would 20
some place else.
Prof, Haines, a practical chemist, who is
7 at present professor of chemistry at Rush
Medical College, testified , to a chemical
analysis of the pieces of bomb extracted
from the bodies of the wounded and dead
officers, and to a similar analysis of
pieces of the bombs and other i'm
plements found in Lingg's room He
1 proved that the fractional percentages OF
lead, tin. iron. anthony and zinc--the con-
stituent parts of the Haymarket bomb
| were the same as those of the bombs con-
fessedly made by Lingg Prof. Delafon-
tame, anotherexpert chemist, corroborated
| Prof. Haines
CHICAGO, Aug. 3-In the trial of the An
archists Saturday the prosecution read
| articles from the Ar6eiter- Zeitunq and ex-
hibited the red and black flags of the An
archists; and there rested. The attorneys
| for the defense offered a motion to have
| Neebe discharged which motion was over
ruled. Mr.. Solomon then made the
| opening address for the defense There
| were two leading points in his argument:
!. There can not be accessories without
| principal. The State must prove that
! somebody was a principal in committing
murder before it can convict others as ac-
| cessories. 2. The defendants did not throw
| the bomb; therefore they are not guilty.
| 1t is estimated that the trials of the Anar.
| chist conspirators for connection with the
| Haymarket murders will cost Cook Coun-
| ty and Chicago about 100000.
EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENSE.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3-In the Anarchist trial
| Mayor Harrison was the first witness for
| the defense yesterday. He told how he had
! attended the Haymarket meeting on the
| night of May 4,and listened to the speeches
| of the Anarchists. His object was to see
! for himself whether or not there were any
! indications of violence, intending to
order the meeting dispersed at the first
wild outbreak. He had come to the con-
clusion that the meeting was harmless
| affair and went home, leaving Inspector
Bonfeld in charge Of the police at the Des-
/ PLANES street station having first ordered
4 all the reserves at the other stations to be
sent to their regular duties. Under cross
examination he told how. about noon on
| the day of May 4, he received an account
1 Of a ruInor that the freight-houses of the
1 Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul railway
were to be burned on that evening at the
| close of the Haymarket meeting. This
1 rhmor had caused him to attend the demon
| stration at the sHaymarket, but nothing
occurred during his stay there to warrant
! dis taking action to break up the meeting.
B. Simonson was the second witness for
| she defense He is travelling salesman for
/ Rothschild & Brothers, clothiers. and a
