CHICAGO, ILL.,. June 23.-Ths
DAILY kers Of tins morning prints
an account Of the movements Of the
Anarchist Parsons subsequent to ths
Hsymarket riot. II says whsn tho
bomb exploded on that night Parsons
leapsd from the wagon and ran 10 kis
homo. Alter conference with bic
wife they deciaea that his fight wss
necessary. BY morning he was on Q
Rock Island train with ticket to oma-
ha. His disguise was thorough. Par
sons's hair and moustsche are IRON
gray IN color, but personal vanity has
ever led him to the use of dark
dye, and even his most intImats
acqusintances have known and de-
scribed him as a dark-haircd man.
Before leaving his home on the night Of
bis flight he removed the dye from his
hair and moustache. The result was .
thorough change IN appearances. On
reaching Omaha Parsons went directly
TO the house OF Anton Rube, patron Of
the Nebraska Anarchists and proprietor
OF suburban road-houss. Up to that
time the anxiety TO apprehend Parsons
had not reached the pitch il attained
subsequently, and no one had started
IN pursuit Of the Anarchist. The
newspapers kept him informed Of
the progress Of public sentiment
and the growth of the desire
in Chicago for his return. He
then took alarm, and through the
mediation Of Rube secured refuge on Q
farm near papillion. q small town
twsnty miles west OF Omaha. There
be remained until Friday last, whom,
yielding TO the advice Of Captain Black,
be started for chicago. lie boldly On
tered Omaha, purchased his ticket, and
MADE the Journey Of five hundred miles
without nj attempt At concealment.
His beard duri, G bis absence covered
his face. and Wien he appeared before
his wife. as O'Clock Monday morning,
she scarcely knew him. In the fore
noon he secured the services ofs barber.
and, after taking dinner at the home Of
q friend on Morgan street, he took .
cab for the Criminal Court. Ii is nov
certain that BalthAzar Raus's mission
TO Omaha was partly to see Parsons I;
but, as be has said IN a previously
published letter 10 ar attorney. Raus
was so Swallowed by the police In Ne
braska that he abandoned his project.
Parsons constantly communicated by
letter with his wife, and latterly with
Captain Black.
