THE GRAND JURY
is now in possession of all the material
facts in the dynamite conspiracy SO
far as the presumption shows the
guilty parties to be August Sizes,
Schwab, Parsons and Fielding. Evil
deDce that would implicAte others not
vet apprehendej, and among them
the man who hurled the bomb, has
been withheld by the authorit es for
their own reasons. The testimony at
the hour of adjournment yesterday
noon, when most OF the ArbeiteT
Zeitung printers had been examined,
made 1t plain that for months past
the Anarchists had been secretly pre-
pairing to attack the police with dYns-
mite and other sg nts OF destruction.
The Jury desired to know the extent
of this conspiracy before indictin0
the lesser conspiIators, whose gu 1t
might be equal to the others ii the
evidence was forthcoming. The po-
lice, many of the jurors thought, were
keeping something back, perhaps to
make their case the stronger when
brought into court. One juror said:
"The evidence is overwhelming" but
he meant the evidence against the ell
der Spies, Schwab, Fielding snd Par
sone. There is little evidence thus
far that would warrant the jury in in
dieting Linpg and three or four 9TH
ers for the same ofense alleged against
the first named At the same tins
there is good reason to believe Lingg
and his fellows are as guilty as the
other crowd. Strong testimony tend
lug to support this view was given by
r B. Fuller, the manager for Pribyl
Bros, dealers in guns and fixed ana
munition. He testified that for some
time previous 10 the riot purchases OF
guns aud heavy revolvers were made
at his store by poorly-dressed men,
whose actions excited the firms sus-
picions. Sometimes these men would
call in a party, four or five OF them to-
gether, and lay out their money TO
weapons and ammunition. These
are the men, some members OF
the grand jury think, accord
ing to Judge RogeIs's instructions,
can be indicted for a capital offense,
provided the police disclose more evil
dence. The police, it is understood,
claim to have the bomb thrower in
custody. 1t is further sa d that the
evidence by which they hope to con-
vict him is made up mostly of the con-
LESSONS OF Anarchists who vera To-
duced to talk on the promise OF immu-
nifty. The police deny this. The testi-
mony of Capt. Schask and the detect
ives who have been working to appIe-
bend the bomb throwers will be
heard to-day. 1t was expected that
before evening indictments will bs
found. This morning Theodore Frlcke,
secretary OF the Socialistic prin'iog
company, went before the grand jury.
He took with him the books OF the
Arbeiter ZeitUng The jury wanted to
find out how much money had bean
extended by the managers OF the
paper outside of the regular line of
the publishing business.
George Duff5tt, salesman, in the
employ Of Pribyl Bros, took the sales
book Of the firm into the jury room.
He gave some important evidence.
Last July, he said, mau who gave
his name as Schnabel, visited Pribyl
Bros. store and bought two Winches-
ter rifles; he bought eight Winchester
rifles subsequently, and it was alter
wards learned that they were for the
Lehr and Wehr Verein, the military
organization OF the Socialists. Sehnabel
was arrested a few days after the hay
mark t riot, but as he told pretty
straight story, he was released. Now
the States attorney is eager to see the
man sgain. He is supposed to have
left town. At the time OF the mans
appearance manager fuller OF Pribyl
Bros. notified Comptroller Quincy of
the fact that the Anarchists were ne
gotiating for the purchase of weapons,
but no action was taken in the matter.
Further testimony tended to indicate
that Schnabel was the man who threw
the bomb He is a brother-in-law of
Schwab. He formerly wore long,
flowing beard, but when apprehended
after the massacre in the haymarket
was clean shaver. He also CORE
sponded closely to the man whom
witness named Krendel saw in COM
psny with Parsons and Spies on Ran
dolph street the night Of the tragedy.
A DYNAMITE FACTORY ARRESTED.
This morning detectives were to
look for Gustav Lehman. The man is
remarked by the authorities as one
capable OF giving the identity of the
bomb-thrower. The detectives sue
,ceeded in arrestiDg him at an early
hour this morning. In his possession
and on the premises which he occu-
pied at the time OF his arrest were
found three round dynamite bombs,
exactly similar to that used at the
hay market riot. Two boxes of dyna-
mite "eiaut powder" csps, two coats OF
dynamite fuse and%wo boxes of dyna-
mite not made into bombs were found.
The bombs had the fuse attached and
seemed to be ready for immediate use.
THE ARBEITRR zRITUNG
has again made its appearance in its
old fern, q large quartette, and is
very similar in looks and contents to
the paper when Spice, Parsons,
Schwab and the other Anarchists vera
persona ly running it. To-dsy's issue
has some eight Of advertising,
including calls for meetings from va
rious labor organic atoms, aud several
warnings to different trades not to
work in certain shops, as those en-
ployed there regularly "Gnd them
selves on strike" These commune
cations are signed "Ths Strikers" and
'.The Executive Committee" The
paper recites at length how it has tri-
umphed over all efforts 10 suppress
it, and makes an urgent call for sub
scriptions for the defense Of Spies and
Schwab, who "havs written, spoken
and battled long and bravely for the
welfare of the workingmen, aud aye
now compelled to suffer. Do not
forget your prosecuted brothers, but
help them, ss they are always ready,
