tried, or the verdict you have rendered
but men colnpulsoriiy serving as jurors, as
you have done, deserve some recognition of
the service you have performed, beside the
meagre compensation you have received.
The foreman OF the Jury said:
The jury have deputed to me the only
agreeable duty that il is our province to
perform, and that is 70 thank the court
and counsel for the defense and for the
prosecution for your kindly care 10 make
Us as comfortable as possible dailng our
confinement. We thank you.
The court responded very briefly
The prisoners had filed out during
this interim, under the guidance OF
bailifs.
Hardly had the Jury left the room,
when q piercing shrek was heard fol-
lowed by the heavy falling OF the wife
OF Schwab to the floor, to whom the
result OF the verdict had been inter
preted. She is also the sister o.
Schnaubelt the alleged bomb thrower.
She was carried out by the police and
soon revived. Mrs. Parsons looked
haggard as she started TO leave the
courtroom, but maintained moder-
ate degree OF composure.
The eight prisoners were conveyed
through the iron-covered passage
which leads from the courtroom to
the Jail and were at once placed in the
"cage," a small compartment near
the entrance to jail, which is heavily
barred and very completely covered
with thick wire netting. They were
Joined there shortly by their four at
torneys, who extended to them what
encouragement was in their power OF
relief on an appeal. Spies had divested
himself OF MS coat, and seemed to be
the most thoroughly composed
OF the eight. He declined TO
converse to anyone but his attorneys,
but it is stated that hehad a premoni-
ton that his fate was sealed. Eneel,
who has maintained very quiet air
throughout the trial, appeared TO be
the most thoroughly depressed one OF
the lot. He sat on a bench with his
hands clenched in front OF him, look
ing at the floor. He did not even look
up to respond to a remark from one
OF his companions. Lingg, the
young bomb-maker, walked about
the "cage" somewhat nervously, and
would not respond to a salutation
by newspaper representative. He
had lost his smile, and he displayed
the effect OF the excitement OF the or
deal or the morning by a complete loss
OF color. Parsons, who had. given
himself up for trial, looked discon-
ceTted and broken down, but ioined
at intervals in the questions directed

recovered himself, and smoked q
cigar as he listened TO the
interchange of views between counsel
and Spies. Fielden, the Englishman,
sat on box at the side OF Engel and
offered very little comment during the
talk. Schwab stood near Spies, taking
n the conversation, but offered no re-
mark. Neebe, who was given fifteen
years IN the penitentiary, was thor
oughly, composed, and seemed to ap-
pear as though he was grateful that he
had escaped the death penalty.
None OF the friends or relatives OF
the prisoners had appeared at the jail
up TO the noon hour. After the at
torneys had departed the prisoners
were taken from their former cells and
placed in cells on what is known as
''murderers' row."
A JUROR INTERVIEWED.
"We had our verdict made up before
z O'Clock last night" said c. B. Todd,
who was one OF the first four Jurors
accepted. 81 don't think l ought TO
tell you why we did not reach a con-
clusion sooner, for we resolved not to
make public our deliberations
What speech had the greatest
weight with the jury?"
"Grinnell's. 1t was not en- ornate
speech, but it showed the honesty OF
the man, showed how earnest he was.
He made everything so plain that We
fell into his way of looking at the case;
but in doing that We were only obey
ing our Judgment. l think that at the
conclusion OF the evidence, and with
out any speeches at all we would have
arrived at the same conclusion"
OUTSIDE OF THE COURT.
The excitement OF the crowd in front
OF the courthouse was something in
tense while the verdict was being
awaited. There was none Of the jok-
ing and laughing that is heard on the
only other occasion that brings a mob
to stand without those dreary walls
the execution OF a convicted criminal
Each man seemed to be holding his
breath, and such conversations as
were held were in a low tone, and re-
lated solely TO the one topic, the prob
able conviction OF the eight pris-
oners who were waiting for the hour
which was TO mean lie or death to
them. There was g Gordon Of police
stretched along the sidewalk in front
OF the outer stairs of the building. A
dozen blue coats mingled with the
crowds, and more stood guard over
the little gate in the alley that leads
70 the jail-yard. Detective and police
men IN citizens clothes were every
where to be seen. There was also the
regular guard at the street entrenceto
the building, and a deputy sheriff and
Two officers were stationed on the iron
stairway leading to the courtroom.
a young man, hatleSs, and with his
coat buttoned up tight around him,
stood at hedoor OF the court. He had
no sooner heard the verdict than be
fairly hurled himself down the clsng-
ing iron stairs, and, rushing up 70 one
OF the officers at the door, breathless
ly yelled: They hung seven" Those
II the front ranks OF the crowd heard
the words, aud they gave a cheer; and
the rest OF the walters took up the
hurTah when the news was communi-
Gated TO them, and repeated it many
times over. 1t sounded like a knell TO
the prisoners, but it was an assurance
TO the tired Jurors of what they must
have almost known all along, that the
interest OF Chicago In the trial had not
abated since the morning OF May 5.
MORE ARRESTS PREDICTED.
It is understood that the authorities
now contemplate the immediate ar
rest OF all persons even indirectly con-
nfcted with the Haymarket tragedy,
Tor conspiracy, and that in this knowl-
edge, many OF the active leaders near
ing the outcome OF the verdict are pre-
