ASSEMBLE on the W est side. Ino WoIu
was selected to give tho men notice
that there was to be trouble. Lingg
and went to NeT's Hall again, where
number Of others were. Hermann
said to Lingg in very angry VOICE.
You are the cause Of it ALL" Then
some one told Of the Uaymarket
affair, and said that the bomb
had killed great many. Lingg
said nothing. On their way home
Lingg said that even now be was scold-
ed and gibed at for the work he had
done; that bis brothers in the cause
did not appreciate him. We bid our
bombs under the sidewalk. 1t was
about midnight when We reached home.
Witness identified number Of i'm
plements used by them in the manu-
iacture Of their bombs, and described
how dynamite and other stuff were
brought into the house. Witness knew
EDgel, and they belonged TO the same
Socialisiic group. lie had often heard
Engel mako speeches, saying tina! every
gorkingmau should make bombs.
Mr.. IDgham here held up piece Of
gss-pipe and asked, "Is this the way a
bomb looks when it is ready to go off? I"
The Court asked, Is that loaded ?"
Eyes, your Honor"
"This Is no place for it," said Judge
Gary.
The spectators were evidently very
nervous at the production Of the impe-
menis Of Sociaiistic warfare, and the
women present looked very much
alarmed. The prosecution assured the
Court that they were not dangerous,
ard Inspector Bonfeld offered to take
them into the next room and take of
the caps out the Court said the next
room was TO place for such work, and
the bombs we're taken to the lake-front
for operation.
Witness resumed his story: During
the car.dIiyers' strike last year dele
gates from different groups used TO
meet every week at the ArJlter Zeitang
Office. Neebe, Schwsb, and Lingg
were members Of the groups. The
North Side group had rifles and drilled
with them. Witness identified the
ccpy OF Herr Most's book.
The deferce moved 20 have the testi-
mony all stricken out on the ground OF
irreievancy. This was overruled, and
he cross examination was begun. Wit
ness said be had been made no promises
by the States attorney or officers, who
simply told him be had better tell tho
truth. lie did not know that his testi-
mony or statements would prevent his
being tried for murder. The cross
examination was severe and searching.
but witnesses testimony remained IN
shaken, and at l O'Clock recess was
takcr.
when Mr.. Foster had resumed the
cross. examination of Seliger after the
recess the conduct OF LiDgg was study
a. IT gradually became evident that the
main part Of the informer's disclosures
was over, aud that the lawyers FOR tbs
defence were inaugurating a rigorous
series OF attacks 10 break the force Of
be mans evidence. Llngg slowly re-
covered part Of his cOmpOsure ; his
eyes were furtively raised from the
floor. Then the iust-visible down on MS
upper lip was softly stroked as the lawyer
began to enfargle the witness regard
ing the minor features OF the testimony.
Finally LiDgg rested one heel on the
lower round Of his chair aud drew the
other foot up in such manner as to
form a support for the large pad of pa
per upon which he proceeded to draw
a caIicature Of the iniormer. lie was
III at ease, however, and pursued the
occupation ftfully. Apparently in spite
Of himself his attention went to
he witness, and it was necessary 70
resort TO other eXpedients than the
drawing board to succeed in the effort
TO maintain an attitude Of Indifference.
Orc question pleased Lingg immensely,
ard the lawyeI repeated it in different
form whenever the spirits Of the young
est Of the defendants seemed particu-
laIlv low. "Iou are sure" Foster
would ask, a" that Lingg is the man who
said bombs would be the best kind of lol-
der for the capitalists and the police ? "
4 frightened yes" always followed
from the infoimer, and LiDgg invariably
chGckled with the most intense delight.
A determined attempt was made by the
defence TO show that the bombs manu-
factuIed on the afternoon Of the day on
which the massacre occurred had no ne
cessary connection with the riot in Hay
market.
Was il agreed between you and the
men i no had the bombs that night at
ClybuTne avenue" asked Mr.. Foster,
. that any one Of you were to 90 to the
Haymarket meetiDg?"
mo; bat -"
Stop night there" Numbered the
attorney for the Anarchists to the
trembling figure in the witness chair.
Novel, yes--or no."
" Do you know of the manufacture
Of bombs by any person to be used
against the police on the night Of the
ith Of May"
" Yes-no-l cannot say"
The witness was in a STATE Of abjcct
error.
Then it was not agreed by YOU end
he men who made these bombs that
my Of you were going to iaymarket?"
There was plenty said about going
But no particular person said he
vas going!"
No."
Being crOss-examined, Seliger said

,oisome cell, away from light and air.

o the first one, as matter Of choice
