eide.
A mass-meeting Of sympathizers with
the Anarchists on trial was held at West
| Twelfth street Turner Hall last night, and
was attended by about 900 persons The
detail OF police present was not called
upon to assert its authority. Several
| speeches were made, mono OF which
were of an inflammatory character,
denouncing the press for attempt
| ing to influence public opinion
against the 'so.calledn Anarchists, and
requesting the people to withhold their
| verdict until after the conclusion of the
present trial. A collection was taken up.

used in defense of the men being prose-
cutei.
CHICAGO July 2S.-In the. Anarchists'
| trial yesterday number of reporters and
detectives testified further regarding the
incendiary utterances OF Spies Parsons
and Fielden at the Haymarket meeting.
One witness swore thathe saw several re-
| volvers waved in the air during the cheer
ing which followed certain remarks of the
speakers. Percy English, "a reporter, took
| notes of the speeches in shorthand. These
he read on the witness stand and they
fully corroborated former testimony on
| this point.
On cross-examination English stated
that he had heard Parsons Spies and
Fielder speak frequently. He thought
their speeches on the night in question
rather more mild than usual. They did
not say that night that they were going to
use force then. Parsons said they were
not ready, and Spies said the meeting was
not called TO incite riot Heard Captain
Wards words calling on the crowd to dis
perse, but did not hear Fielden say There
come the bloodhounds, y or "We are peace
abie.n
The stories told by Detectives McKeogh,
Haas and Mr.. Heinemann proved beyond
much chance of contradiction that the
bomb-throwing and shooting by the An
archists commenced simultaneously, and
both occurred before the police had fired
shot There was further standardization of
the use by Fielden Of the words applied TO
the police and addressed TO the crowd;
''Here come the bloodhonnds. Men, do
your duty, aud will do MINER

MIR. Brazelton to point out the speakers,
Just then Schwab came along and was

continued:

Parsons, and the three seemed to crowd up
together. / saw Spies pass something to
the third man, and he put it in his right
hand pocket Then they separated and
went into the crowd.n

Yes saw him on the wagon
Look at that picture and say il II looks
like the third man. Handing witness a
photograph of Schnaubelt
Yes should say that is a picture of
the third man i saw with Schwab and
Spies, and on the wagon. His whiskers
were longer then, think. though"
The testimony OF this witness created
quite a sensation in court, and the defcnd-
ants in particular were intensely in
terested. They craned their necks for
ward to catch every word. Counsel
for the defendants consulted for several
minutes before beginning the cross
examination Finally Mr. Foster took
hold of the witness and tried by
a long and rapid fire of questions to shake
his testimony Witness said he could not

them say any thing about Schwab going

the witness closely about where Spies
and Schwab went and learned that they
went together on Randolph street |
as far as Halsted and then |
came back. Witness said he followed them |
closely up there and back, distance OF |
about five blocks He passed them at |
Union street on the way back and heard |
Schwab say: Now when they come we |
will give it to themn He could not say to |
whom Schwab had reference. Spies an

will bother us.h When he got back to the
corner of Randolph and Desplaines he saw
the two still talking together, and that |
was the last he saw of Schwab but saw
Spies get on the wagon. This was about
twenty minutes past eight o'clock.
When they got back to the streets Just
mentioned they met the third man. Schnau-

did not see him Witness calmly re-
piled that he might have seen him
At that time witness did not hear a word
from any of them. He saw Spies hand
something but could not tell |
what it was. He next saw Schnaubelt on
the wagon, and he staid there about an
hour. Witness was not present when the
bomb exploded.
