porch mending the clothes of one Of her
numerous progeny. A neighbOr passing
that way stopped in for friendly chat.
A large work basket half full of buttons
sat Oh the floor of the porch. After va
rious remarks of a cosby nature the
visitor said:
You seem to be well suppliep with but

Anarchist Fielden's Child.

A daughter was born in West Polk
Street, at the same hour that its father,
Samuel Fielden in Judge Gary's court
began giving reasons why sentence of
death should not be passed upon him.
But few who listened to Fielden's plea
guessed the cause of the added bitterness
in his bitter speech. The knowledge of
the scene being enacted at his little
home made his burden harder to bear.
The mother was heart-brOken at the
thought of the impossibility of her new
born ever seeing its father.

Doomed to Die.
Judge Gary Sentences the Eight Chicago
Anarchist Leaders.

Judge Gary in addressing the prisoners
said he was quite well aware that what
they had said although addressed to the
court had been said to the world. Yet
nothing had been said which weakened
the force of the proof or the conclusions
thereflom upon which the verdict was
based. The Judge expressed sorrow for
the unhappy condition of the defendants
and the terrible events that brought it
about. He disclaimed any intention to
reproach or exhort the prisoners and no
ped that what he said might come to the
knowledge Of, and be needed by the ig-
nOrant, deluded and misguided men who
had listensd TO their cOuDsels and follow
ed their advice. 1t only remains said
Judge Gary that for the crime you have
committed and of which you have been
convicted after a trial uneXampled in
the patience with which an outraged
people have extended to you every prOtec-
tion and privilege of the law which you
derided and defied, that the sentence Of
that law be given. In form and detail
that sentence will appear upon the re-
cords of the court. In substa nee and
effect it is that the defendant Neebe be
Imprisoned in the state penitentiary at
Joliet at hard labor for the term of 10
years. And that each of the defendants
Spies, Parsons, Fielden, Lingg, Engel
Fischer and Schwab, between the hours
Of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and o'clock
in the afternoon of the third day of De-
cember next in the manner provided by
the statute of this state be hung by the
neck until he is dead. Remove the pri-
sOners. His face worked cOnvulsively
when he began, and when he reached the
word hanged" he faltered and could
with difficulty utter till-you-are-dead.
The last words were scarcely audible.
The date fixed was the 3rd. day Of Deem
Der.
Capt. Black said that in as much as an
appeal would be taken to the Supreme
Court he asked that there be stay OF ex-
ecutiOn in the case of Neebe until the
third day of December.
State Attorney Grinnell assured the
counsel for the defense that every pos
sible facility would be granted them
that particular good sense and prOpriety
dictated.
The prisoners were then removed to
their cells.
