CHICAGO, July 2S.-In the Anarchists
trial yesterday number of reporters and
detectives testified further regarding the
lncendiary utterances of Spies, Parsons
and Fielden at the Haymarket meeting.
One witness swore that he 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 or the speeches in shorthand. These
ne 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
Fielden 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
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," or "We are peace
able"
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 substantiation of
the use by Fielden of the words applied to
the police and addressed to the crowd:
''Here. come the bloodhounds. Men, do
your duty, and will do mineW
H.. M. Thompson, an empioye of Mar
shall Field q Co., was called to the stand
and said he was handed Revenge" cir
cular on the night of May 4, and went up
to the Haymarket meeting. He asked a
Mr.. Brazelton to point out the speakers.
Just then Schwab came along and was
pointed out. A littlelater Spies got on the
wagon and called for Parsons. Witness
continued:
'Then he got down, and pretty soon
saw Spies and Schwab enter The alley near
Crane Bros place. was standing close
by them and heard the words pistol and
police heard either the word pistol
or police twice. Then l heard Spies say:

said i don't think they will dare bother
u.s. Then third man Joined Spies and
Parsons, and the three seemed to crowd up
together: l 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"
did you see that third man after that?n
Yes, saw him on the wagon"

like the third man" Handing witness n

:, Yes. should say that is q picture of
the third man l 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 defend
ants in particular were intensely in
terested. They craned their necks for
ward to catch every word. Counsel
Tor the defendants consulted for several
minutes before beginning the cross
examination Finally Mr.. Foster took
hold OF the witness and tried by
his testimony. Witness said be could not
understand German. The conversation he
heard was in English He did not hear
them say any thing about Schwab going
to Deering to make speech;
didn't hear Spies ask if one speaker
a., at that meeting, would be enough
The question by Spies: "Will one be
enough" in the conversation overheard
by witness, might, he supposed, have been
with reference to the meeting at Deering
He would swear positively that he saw
Spies and Schwab talking together that
night. Spies used both of the words "pis-
top and police" Mr.. Foster questioned
the witness closely about where Spies
and Schwab went, and learned that they
%sn' far together En- aat Rasnd0 dppd

closely up there and back distance OF
about five blocks. He passed them at
Union street on the way back and heard |

will give it to them" He could not say to |

the two still talking together and that
was the last he saw of Schwab but saw

When they got back to the streets just
mentioned they met the third man, Schniau-

AZ that time witness did not hear a word

what it was. He next saw Schuaubelt on
the wagon, and he staid there about an
hour. Witness was not present when the
