+ The attorney looked at the witness for a mo-
ment without any further questioning, and then
allowed him to CO.
Officer Martin Quinn was next called He tes-
tilted shat, three or four days after the Haymar-
ket riot he went to the house of Engel and dis.
covered In the basement sort of crueibe made
of heavy sheet-iron Engel said the machine
had been brought to his house, some weeks be-
fore, by man who said it was to be used for
melting material used in the manufacture OF
bombs. Engel said he told the man it could be
used for no such purpose In his house
The man placed it in the basement, however
and went away. The crucible was brought into
court, and created considerable of sensation
1t s$Qod about three feet high, on three strap
iron legs, and three or four inches from its bot
tom was small outlet through spout. The ap-
paratus did not look as though it had ever been
exposed to sufficient heat to melt lead. The cru
chile was closely inspected by the defense, and
Inspector Bonfeld was called. He said the
crucibe had been brought to him from Engels
house
"You have worked at the trade of machinist,
have you not?" asked the States attorney.
"Yes, sir.n
"Then tell the jury. if you can, to what use
apparatus like that can be put"
The objections of the defense were oyerruled
and ne inspector explained that the apparatus
q small st-furnace of the kind ordinarily
used In smelling metals The 6re-clay and
some other details necessary in putting the ap-
paratus to that use had not been brought into
court. Captain Black, for the defense, en-
deavored to show that Inspector Bonfeds testi-
mony az an expert was faulty, and that the ap-
paratuS could not be- used for the purpose
named.
The State promptly called Lewis Mullendorf
who said he was tinsmith, and swore that he
had made the apparatus, or the principal part of
it. for Engel. who took it away when it was
finished. The cross examination was short, and
did not affect the testimony, though the defense
plainly intended that the jury should see in the
witness only the family tinsmith of Engel, who
had made him harmless cylinder of sheet-iron
which might be used for dozen ordinary pur-
poses.
The next witness was Officer Herman
Scmuettler. He told a thrilling story of his ar
rest of Lngg, and identified trunk marked
IL. L., which, with its contents. was found at
the house where Lingg was arrested. Among
the contents were large navy revolver. an iron
ladle and other iron implements. The witness
testified that when he opened the trunk he found
IN it, besides the articles mentioned a bomb
which he turned over to Captain Setback The
boEib, which had been unloaded. was brought
into court and identified. All this appeared to
interest Lingg very deeply, and when the wit
with the muscular Anarchist, Lingg's handsome
face took on the devilsh look which 1t invaria-
bly, assumes when his connection with the trial
is made prominent The desperate character of
Lingg was very clearly illustrated by the testi
mony Of OfRcer Scmuettler. When Lingg dis
