CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The Times to-mor-
row will say:
The trial Of the eight socialist assassius in
This city has terminated in verdict of
guilty against all of the defendants. The
trial has been in some respects the most re-
markable criminal trial that ever has had
place in this country. 1t began on the 21st Of
June and occupied period of just exactly
Two months. Twenty-Five days of this period
were occupied in impaneling the jury. In all
PSI men were examined from whom the
twelve "good and true men" were chosen.
Of the whole number 100 were rejected upon
peremptory challenges by the attorneys for
the defense, who exhausted their legal
privilege. The taking of testimony occupied
twenty-siX days. and the arguments Of the
lawyers lasted eight days. The jury agreed
upon their verdict on the first ballot the
voice of every man being guilty of the
crime as charged in the indictment" The
EXECUTION OF THE DEATH PENALTY
upon the socialist malefactorsu Chicago
will be in its effect the execution of the
death penalty of the socialist propaganda in
tins country. 1t will stop the attacks of So
cialists upon the ministers of order and law
with bombs and other deadly missiles. 1t will
close up the socialistic armories and
schools were the art of murder
is taught and the preachmenJ of
crime in the face of public
authority. 1t will cross the Atlantic to the
cradle of the anarchial propaganda in Europe
as warning to the Herr Mosts and the
Prince Krapotkines sand their disciples that
this republic, though styled by vulgar dema-
gogism an asylum for the oppressed is not
a safe asylum for oppressed socialists" The
verdict of the jury is just perfectly just and
righteods.b This is and will be thec Judgment,
not only of the American people, but of every
civilized people on earth. 1t is
A MANDATE OF JUSTICE
that it only remaius for the ministers of the
law to fulfill. 1t will be fulfilled. Let not the
convicted malefactors nor their wretched dis
ciples nor sympathetic cranks of any class or
sex indulge themselves in any delusive hope
of the contrary. Already have been heard
whispers of what desperate means the
EARNED section" propose to employ to rescue
their chiefs from the gallows or to avenge
their death upon their righteous judges, etc.,
but all such whisperngs of socialism are idle
breath. The socialist malefactors will be
hanged. and if their disciples continue their
propaganda of crime, even in whispers, 1t Is
only question of time when they will mount
the golden stairs by the same road.
THE DAILY NEWS
tomorrow will say:
1t is with perfect satisfaction, unnalloyed
with any sentiment of triumph over the con-
victed anarchists, that the Daily News con-
graduates Chicago and civilization on the
verdict that condemns Spies, Parsons
Fielden. Lingg, Fischer, Engel and Schwab
to the gallows and Neebe to prison. So far
as the prisoners themselves are concerned.
they were never personally worthy of the
public interest manifested in their trial. But
the principle they represented, the con-
spiracy in which they were engaged. the
blood which was shed through the
instrumentality provided by them. de-
manded their swift certain and ade-
auate punishment. 1t is difficult to
praise too highly the fearless performance of
duty embodied in the verdict of the twelve
men who heard all the testimony and law in
this most momentous case. They deserve
the gratitude of community which they
have saved from the unrest and terrors of a
merely rebuked conspiracy. Their verdict
SOUNDS THE NOTE OF WARNING
