GERONIMO AT FRoNTEREz.
The Anarchists Trial.

CHICAGO, August 19.-In the Anarch-
ist case. this morning, Grinnell re-
sumed his address. He directed bis
opening remarks to answering the
propositions of law made by Foster in
his address. He then touched on Gil
mrs testimony, and said Gilmer had
at all times told the same story regard
ing the bomb-throwing. Continuing.
OR nnell said Captain Schaak bad
given the prosecution the leading string
to the conspiracy.
The Court then commenced his in
structions to the jury.
Judge Gary began his instructions 10
the jury at 2 o'clock. he said that
whoever is guilty of murder shall suffer
the punishment of death or imprison-
ment Of not less than fourteen years;
that as a matter of law the jury was
not 70 20 behind the evidence TO hunt
doubts and that doubts TO justify
acquittal must be reasonable; that as a
matter of law an accessory is he who
stands by, aids. abets. or assists. or who
not being present, aiding, abetting or
assisting, hath advised, aided, en-
couraged or abetted the Preparation OF
crime; that he who thus aids,
abets, assists, advises or encourages,
shall be considered as q prin-
cipal and punished accordingly. II
the defendants attempted to overthrow
the law by force and throw bomb,
then the defendants who were in the
conspiracy were guilty Of murder: II
there was an anarchistic conspiracy and
the defendants were parties to il, they
were guilty of murder, though the date

was not fixed; il any Of the defendants
conspired to excite. by advice, the peo-
pie 70 riot and murder, such defendants
were guilty, IL such murder was done
in pursuance Of said conspiracy. The
impracticableness Of the arms OF the de-
PENDANTS is immaterial. Circumstantial
evidence Is competent to prove
guilt, and II defendants conspired
to overthrow the law and Delgan
was killed in consequence, the parties
are guilty, and IL is not necessary that
any Of the defendants were present at
the killing. ALI parties 70 the conspir-
acy are equally guilty. CircumstanIal
evidence must satisfy the jury beyond
any reasonable doubt. In such case
the jury may find the defendants
guilty.
The Judge con pleted his instructions

once retired.
Defendants listened with eager atten-
ton during the reading of the judges
instructions 70 the Jury. Parsons took
MOVES throughout the reading while
the others contented themselves with
listening merely. Impressions differ as
TO the length OF time the Jury will prob
ably be ont. 1t is admitted that some
portions of the instructions offered the
jury an opportunity 10 discriminate be-
tween the defendants in the matter OF
their guilt and the relative degrees of
punishment as to the time fixed anu
that this may result in an adjournment
for to-day before the verdict has b. en-
returned. A large audience awaits the
result with indications Of the greatest
interest.
Later-The court adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow forenoon without a
verdict having been returned.
