CHICAGO, July 26.-The continuation
OF the anarchists trial this week 1t is eX-
pected will witness several new and
startling developments, after vast
quantity of testimony similar to that al
ready given by Detective Jansen, from
other detectives who have for various
purposes been employed to watch the
movements of the Chicago dynamiters for
the past two years, some OF them in the
pay OF the Citizens Association and
others in the service of PinkertOn's
agency at the instance of foreign
governments. A dozen witnesses
will be called to give the substance of the
incendiary speeches made by Parsons,
Spies and Fielden at the Haymarket on
the evening of May 4, preceding the bomb
massacre. The prosecution expects to
rest its case by next Saturday, although
II may take Stato's Attorney Grinnell
little longer to get in all the available
evidence, much OF which has unexpectedly
come to hand since the trial commenced.
swoBoTKA's PROFESSIONS.
The story published in a New York pa
per saturday regarding an alleged inter-
view with lgnatZ SwobOtka in that city,
i'll which Swobotka is made to confess
that he threw the fatal Haymarket bomb,
has no confirmation among the authorl-
ties. The opinion of those who have had
most to do with the investigation of the
case, and with the direction OF the efforts
that have been put forth to find the real
! bomb tnrower or 30 ascertain who he is,
has settled down to one of two persons,
VIZ: man shot dead by Officer Madd en-,
or Rudolph Schnaubel, the machnist,
who has made his escape. The circum-
stances point most clearly to the latter.
WORK OF THE DETECTIVES.
The full force and meaning of the testi-
mOny of the Pinkerton men in the an
archists' trial will hardly be understood
until more OF it is put in. There is more
OF it to come. Detective Jansen IL only
one OF five of Pinkerton's oldest officers
who were put TO work early last winter to
! find out how much the anarchist crowd
! actually meant by their speeches, and
who, in the prosecution OF their work,
! penetrated the anarchist dens, took part
| in their most secret conclaVes, listened TO
| their Instructions to their dupes,
and reported day by day to
| W. A. Pinkerton, their employer.
! MIR. PlnkertOn had been employed by
/ party of the largest property owners in
! the city to make the investigation and
| furnish the Information obtained as ne
! got it. His men were not employed to
! accuse or convict anybody. They were
| instructed to report the facts simply as
| they found them, and their testimony Is
therefore not open to the objection which

JANSEN AGAIN ON THE STAND,
A. G. Jansen, the detective, whose dis
| closures occasioned the sensation Satur-
| day, took the stand this morning first. and
the examination OF the Witness was re-
sumed by Mr.. Foster, who asked concern
ing the witness version of the conversa-
ti0n which took place between Spies and
an aged gentleman on the occasion OF the
parade on Decoration day OF last year.
Spies, looking at the militia, said they
would not amount to much i'll the event of
a riot, and that hall a dozen dynamite
bombs would scatter the soldiers in all
directions. The witness said he did not
know who this man was. The witness
reported daily TO the agency in writing,
aud these written reporJs he obtained
from the clerk at the agency. The name
OF J.. @. Gage is indorsed on the reports
but the witness does not know Mr.. Gage.
OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The witness said that on May 81, 1885,
Eielden made speech declaring that the
government could he OYerthrown by force
only, and on another occasion Fielden
told the witness that force was to be used
! May l, this year. On Aug. 10 Parsons,
speaking of the street car mems strike,
said that if Inspector BOnfield was shot a
social revolution would be inaugurated.
William A. Pinkerton, Chief of the Ma
tional Detective Agency, testified that he
had employed detectives to ferret out the
secret dOIDgs OF the anarchists, but this
was ordered stricken out and Mr.. Pinker-
ton left the stand.
Mr.. Grinnell read the following notice
in the Alarm of Oct. II, 1885: "The
armed section OF the American Group
meets every Monday night at No. 54 West
Lake street."
THE RED FLAG,
w. =. Freeman, a newspaper reporter,
said that at the meeting on the lake front
Aplil 25 Parsons spoke, saying il the
wOrkingmen were driven to starvation
tney would unturl the banner OF liberty
and fraternity and sweep everything be-
fore them, aud he pointed TO a red flag as
he spoke. He urged his bearers to takeup
said the wOrkingmen could only enjoy the
fruits Of their labor by force. The witness
was at the Haymarket. He saw Parsons
on the wagon. Parsons frequently cried
$50 armsp' in his speech.
t'ielden discussed legislation, and said
it was useless to attempt anything by
legislation. Force was the only recourse
lett. The witness saw Parsons, Spies and
Flelden on the wagon, and he also thought
he saw Schwab. When tue police came
up he heard the police give command 10
the crowd TO disperse, which was followed
by the explosion and firing. The witness
crOuched behind the wagon until the
firing ceased. On cross examination the
witness said he did not hear the remark
attributed TO Fielden, "Wo ars peace
able"
Joseph Grenhut, city tenement house
inspector, was called and testified that be
was present when Spies told reporter
how the ranks OF the police could be deci-
mated by dynamite. The witness WAS In
the Arbeiter Ieitung office on the alter
noon OF May 3 aud saw Spies prepare the
"reyenge" circular. This witness trem-
bleG violently during his examination.
He has been a recognized Socialist ana
did not wish apparently TO be witness
in the case.
