eighth rib and lodged over the heart,
making lacerated wound over eight inches
long. Joseph Norman, shell wound per

fact of Fieldcn visiting the witness office
on Halstead street the night of the massa-
ere. to have the bullet wound in his leg
dressed
NJ. NJ. Thompson, the young man who
gave such damaging evidence against the
leading anarchists on Tuesday, was re-
called by the defense and asked whether
he was not ut Grier's Hall on the night of
May 18th. He replied that he was not. He
was questioned very closely by Mr.. Foster,
but did not vary any of his original state
ments. The States Attorney brought out
the fact that he had been compelled to |
move from his house on South Green street |
owing to visits from adherents of the an
who sought to intimidate him
from taking the stand.

ing the bombs near Ogden Grove, which |
had been pointed out to him by intormer

under the house of the Anarchist Fielden. |
BLOoD-STAINED UNIFORMS.
Lieutenant Bowler was called and ex-
hibited to the jury the torn and blood |
stained uniforms of the wounded police |
officers.
Captain Black protested strongly against
such evidence being submitted. He de
clared that it was only for a sensational
purpose.
Mr.. Grinnell replied, with some feeling, |
that if he had desired to produce sensa- |
tion and to illustrate the murderouS charac- |
ter of the assault at the Haymarket, he
would have brought in the survivors of
that night on stretchers and exposed their |
wounds

stand On the afternoon of May Ia, when
Lingg was locked up at the Chicago Ave
nue. Station, the witness asked him wheth- |
er he was at No. "a West Lake street on the |
night of May 3, and he replied that he was. !
He said he had made dynamite for use at
the Haymarket. Lingg said he hated the !
police because they had attacked the peo- |
pie at McCormick's and because they were |
friendly to capitalists. When asked why |
he did not fight the police with guns in
stead of dynamite, Lingg replied that the |
militia had guns and the Socialists had to
use dynamite. He had learned how to
make it by reading books. When thewit- !
ness examined Lingg's trunk he found, in |
3 false bottom, quantity Of fuse, which
the prisoner said he had bought Of affirm |
on Lake street Lingg said he knew Spies |
and was at the Ar6eiter Zeitanq Office fire. |
