Female Sympathy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 81 There was meet
ing last night of all female relatives OF the
sentenced anarchists, reinforced by men
from all parts of the city. Mics Spies SUBJ
81 quentlY said that over $4,000 was sub
scrlbed TO g fund to carry the case to the
supreme court Miss Spies SAID; We
have been watched and houHded by detec.
sives and newspaper meA until we are
nearly harassed to death bat
We got away with them
all this time and have had our meeting.
The law may beat rs by Judge Garry's rul-
ing and by the special pleas mede by Mr..
Grinnell but the supreme court never will
endorse or rule the same way. Think OF
my brother being hanged when he was
only trying to do the best he could to nelp
the Workingmen.
Ars. Holmes made an energetic plea TO
the meeting IN favor OF awaiting the decis'
ion of the supreme court. The women
said they we're not in any fears of starva-
ton, or being strained for cent as the OF
pressed of all nations would come to their
succor. When the meeting dispersed it
Was early the morning hour and the VIC
men all embraced and declared they
would stand together.
Gen. w. 81. Parsons, brother of the con-
victed anarchist, sSys every effort wlll be
made to reverse the verdict, and the case
will be carried TO the supreme court OF the
United States.
The leading exception will probably be
on the point of the refusal Of Judge Garry
TO give for the defense the ipAttuC ton
that all men have q right to peaceebiY as
semble and Fepel by force any attempt
either by the authorities or private lndi-
Viduals to break up such a meeting. On
this point an attempt will be made to caTIy
the case to the United States supreme
court in case the state supreme court Ie-
fuses 6 new trial
Gustive Biz managing editor of the
Arbeiter Zsltung says they have 5000
already to contest the case and he expects
as much more.
Attorney Grinnell ssys rigid measures
will be taken against the Arbeiter Zeisung
and any reference TO an alleged bribery
of Jurors will cause its suppression. As
TO the future. he said be had q list of fifty
men who would be arrested at the first
outbreak. He will require the best of
good behavior from the anarchists.
Joe GrunhuIt, city tenement house in
spectOr and socialist says the verdict will
be q signal tor labor revolt 1t is class
verdict of capitalists In the interest of
capital and violates the principles of lib
erty and justice. He said they were con-
victed to crush the labor movement but
they would never hang, for everything
money could do would be done.
George Roger, q member of the state
executive board, <. OF L., says the verdict
brings no shock 70 the labor movement.
The convicted anarchists have not held for
years q legitimate place among the friends
Of the laboring man and when they drop
out they will leave no hole to I'LL. l am
not among those who effect to believe
these men will not hang. / think they
will. Nor do question the righteousness
OF the verdict. It has been boosted that
the Knights of Labor will interfere with
an attempt to save Parsons put 90 not
believe It. The Knights Of Labor will not
take any part in the affair as an organiza-
ton. The remedy for labor abuses rests
| in the law making powers OF the state and
the verdict will probably call attention to
the fact that after all the law is q pretty
safe thing to lean on. If the law is made
right all will be right. The ballot and
not the bomb is our strongest and best
weapon. This vindication of the law will
have a wholesome effect upon society.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Capt. Setback who
| secured most of the evidence against the
convicted anarchists says the anarchist
business in Chicago has just begun but
when he Is through they will all be hung,
imprisoned or driven from the CITY. He
declines TO say whether he has made any
additional arrests or whether he has war
rants for any, but says he can get them
whenever he wants them and intImates
that some of the women will even
tusliy be brought to trial. He says
S:hnaubelt been brought 70 trial the
testimony could have been produced cor
rnboratiye of that given by Gilmer and
Thompson, but which owing to Schnaubelt
not being on trial was excluded. 6chaack
regrets that Baethsz"r Rue was not indict-
ed for murder as he could have been con-
vIcted, but he and Most may yet be indIci-
ed. Capt. Setback says had Schroeder
told the same story on the stand es
he did to him Neebe would have shared
the same fate 80 the other defendants. but
he was worked upon by socialists under
the Lead OF Capt. Waltbers, who Was at the
head OF the armed section. and modified
bis testimony some Weithers secured
ell the testimony for the defense and
drilled the Witnesses, and had he bad q
better command of the English language
the Witnesses stories would not have
been so inconsistent. Il is said
Rau has fed the city. A detail of
ten policemen from Capt Schsack's force
spent the night st the jail ss special guard
for the anarchist convIcts and these were
relieved by another equsd this morning.
The prisoners held an extended confer
ence with Capt. Black this morning re-
gsrdlng the programme 20 be carried
out and TO prevent If poe-
sibIe the judgement being carried out.
