The dead body was identified
as the remains cf a negro who
had been arrested in ALBANY the

a negro who was wAntod in Ca
miila. To tho ollicers he gave his
name as Joe Jones and to others

Aesh stab under his left arm, also
t2lat one OF his legs was broken at

Below the elbow, and his face and
head considerably bruised IN

suddenly dispelled when the witness identi-
fed the photograph of Squaubclt as that OF the
man who threw the bomb. Interest was de
pcted on the face of each listener, judge;
over in breathleSs anticipation and
from the lips of the heretofore
ludicrous witness, and when the witness SAID
Spies was the man who lighted the fuse, the
most intense excitement prevailed in the
court room. Every eye was directed at the
accused man whose face paled. When he re.
gained his selt.posscssion partially and pulled
nervously at his moustache, and leaning over
toward Foster broke into an incredulous
laugh. For one instant q death-like
silence reigned. Then buzz of many huShed
whispers Tiled the air. which once more went
into perfect silence as the witness pointed to
Fischer rs one of the men in the alley 1t
was now Fscher's turn TO pale and tremDle,
though the expression on his face was one of
blank surprise and aStonishment.
In the afternoon Officer Martin Quinn teS-
tilted that three or four days after the Hay
market riot he went to the house of Engel
and discovered in the basement sort OF
crucihe made of heavy sheet iron. Engel
said the machine had been brought TO his
house some weeks before by man who said
it was to be used for melting material used
I'm the manufacture of bombS. Engel said he
told the man it could be used for no such pur-
pose in his house. The man placed II in the
basement and went away, The crucible was
brought into court and created considerable
of a sensation. 1t was closely inspected by
the defense, and Inspector bonfield was
called. He said the crucble had been
brought to him from Engels house. The in
spector, who has been u machinlst, explained
that the apparatus was a small blast furnace,
of the kind ordinarily used in smelling
metals. The fire clay and some other details
necessary to putting the apparatus to that
use had not been brought into court.
Captain Black endeavOred to show that In
spector Bonteld's testimony san expert was
faulty. and that the apparatus could not be
used for the purpose named.
The state promptly called Lewis Mullen
dorf, who said he was tinSmith, and Swore
that he made the apparatus or the principal
part of it, for Engel, and that he took it
away when ii was finished.
The croSs-eXaminatlon did not effect the
testimony, though the defense plainly in
tended that the Jury should see in the wit
ness only the family tinsmth of Engel, who
made harmless cylinder of sheet iron which
might be used for dozen different pur-
poses.
Officers Shutter and Rowenstein rctold
the story OF Lingg's arrest and identified
several bombs and parts of bombs, together
with the tools for their manufacture as those
found in Lingg's trunk. Then the days pro-
