THE ANARCHIST TRIAL.
More Strong Testimony Against the
Chicago Conspirators.

CHICAGO, July 2S-At the Anarchists trial
this morning, August Reun, printer, was
the first witness. He set up portion OF the
circular calling for the Haymarket meeting
Witness obtainedi the copy of this circular
from the defendant, Fischer, who came to the
printing office about seven o'clock on the
morning of May 4. Fischer. wrote the Ger
man version of the case, and the witness is
positive he wrote the following: Working
men, arm yourselves and apper in full force. .
Station, was at the Arbeiter Zeitung office on
the morning of May s.: $! met Neebe ON the
the third floor, and told him l came there to
make search of that floor There was a
desk in the room. l asked whose desk it
TOP a'; Of a shelf back Of this desk 1 found a
package of oily stuff. This package was
taken to the Central Station and proved to
be dynamite. When the witness showed the
bag to Neebe Officer McKeogh was in the
room and Officer Haas at the door. Mayor
Harrison was in the building at the time, or
a moment bef0Te. but he did not ask Neebe
the contents of the package. Mrs. Parsons
was also present. So were two young men,
who were were writing, a gentleman and a
lady and Detective Boyd.
H. l.. Gilmer painter, arrived at Hay
market at 915 o'clock. At the corner of Des-
PLANES and Randolph streets he saw wagon
occupied by speakers. Fielden was speak
ing. The witness saw some enc leave the
wagon and start toward an alley Wnere IOur
or five persons were conversing. The witness
was at the mouth of the alley. At that mo-
ment some one cried: Here come police. ;"
Then the man who had left the wagon and
joined the parties in the alley Lit a match and
placed it against something held in the hand
of one of the persons. The fuse began to
sizzle, and Immediately thereafter the bomb
was thrown. The witness was shown pic,
ture of Schnaubelt and recognized it as that
of the man who threw the bomb. Witness
also recognized Spies and Fisher as two of
the group referred to in the alley.
This appeared to be crushing evidence
against the accused. The witness was SUBJ
jected to rigid cross-examination, which
only resulted in confirming the truth Of his
testimony. The anarchists, particularly
Spies and Fischer, appeared to be completely
bowed down by the damaging character of
the evidence so coolly delivered against
them.
A death-like stiffness settled over the court
room as witness Gilmer continued his testi-
mony When he pointed out Spies as the
man who lighted the fuse the judge, jury,
counsel, prisoners, and spectators leaned for
ward to catch every word and the most in
tense suppressed excitement prevailed. The
faces of the prisoners turned lived with fear,
The cross examination in the afternoon
failed to shake Gilmer in the least His tes-
timony is considered by far the most danger
ing yet recorded.

Violation Of Customs Laws.

MoNcToN, N. B., July 2s-The American
schooner J. Miller, Captain Dickson, which
arrived at Hopewell Cape, last Tuesday was
seized by Canadian authorities for alleged
infraction of the customs laws. Information
was lodged against the captain by outside
parties, charging that he had smuggled a
quantity of small paper across that had
been purchased in Boston. Customs officers
searched the vessel yesterday but found
nothing. They, however, formally seized
the schooner, put her under guard and sent
papers and evidence to Ottawa. The vessel
belongs in Boothbay, Me. Capt. Dickson
denies the story and says that the charge of
smuggling is the work of perjured witnesses
secured by the custom house officers to bene-
fit themselves by fines collected or the pro-
ceeds of the vessels sale. if confscated
