CHICAGO Aug. 13-Mr. Walker closed
MS speech for the prosecution in the An
arcnlsts' case yesterday morning. He
quoted freely from the evidence, the
speeches. and admissions of Spies, Fielden,

VINO organized the massacre of the Hay-
market square; connected Lingg, Engle |
and Fischer with the arch Anarchists; and
ridiculed the efforts of the defense to prove
alibis.
Mr.. Zeisler's speech, following that of
MIR. Walker, showed that the defense
as was Anticipated, ROLES on convincing
one or more of the jurors that Gilmer's |
story about Schnaubelcs throwing the |
bomb is untrue. He characterized the |
police, as body of cowardly knaves, |
ana denounced Gllmer as a. profes:
liar Mr.. Zeisler maintained that unless
me IDENTITY of the principal in the murder
OF Onlcer began was established the pris-
oners could not be held as ac-
cessories. 1t should be shown that
the person who threw the bomb was a
member OF the conspiracy to which the
iatter with the murders He denied that
there was a general conspiracy to bring
ABOUT a social revolution. The advo.
cacy of force was open and nub.

have been harmless. No time was fixed

revolution was to come, but no one could
TX the date-the time was as indefinite to
the propagandists of Socialism as the com
ing of the Messiah was to the Jews.
referring to the testimony as to Spies
utterances at Grand Rapids. Mich, and
his interview with Reporter Wilkinson re-
speeding the Inauguration of the social
revolution ON May /, Mr.. Zeisler endeay
ored to show that Spies was testing about
these things, and that he re-
ferred to some indefinite revolution which
time would bring about. The advice given
by Spies, Parsons and Fielden to working
men TO arm themselves meant nothing but
gether, and F1elden's speech in which he
urged his hearers to visit several lead
ing business houses and help them
selves only meant that the sys-
tenn was unjust which allowed so
unequal distribution of property. These
men were talking to men who were igno-
rant of the aims of Socialism, and these nj
terances were used merely as logical de-
auctions to illustrate the problems as
teacher would use illustrations to explain
intricate problems to his scholars.
After referring to the meeting at 81 |
Lake street on tho night before the trag-
edy, at which the alleged conspiracy was ,
Mr.. Zeisler said that Waller, :
who was the arch conspirator, having :
been chairman of that meeting, told :
much i'll his evidence for the prosecution |,
that was untrue. His testimony was for I
Jhe greater part manufactured, and he re-
,eived payment therefor in cold cash from r
Captain Setback.
Court adjourned at five O'Clock, and Mr.. v
leisler will finish his address to-day.
