CHICAGO, July Yesterdays evidence
in tho Anarchist trial was largely of Il cor
roborative character. First came buriy
saloonkeeper named Helm, whose .testi.
mony went to show Neebc's knowledge of
"Revenge' circular. Gustav Lehman, one
of the Anarchists, described the manufact-
ure of the bombs at Lingg's lodgings and
his visit to Neifs Hall, where they were
distributed. Lingg gave him small
also n tin box filed with dynamite.
Witness took tho articles home and hid
them IN the woodshed. He became scared
during the night, and got out of bed and
carried the stuff away out on prairie
where he left it. He afterwards took de-
tective to the spot and it was recovered.
The Carpenters Union, to which witness
belonged, gave II dance last March, and tho
proceeds were taken by Lingg, with tho
sanction of the union, and n quantity of
dynamite was purchased. Lehman testi-
fed to hearing Engel, in a speech, give in
structions as to how bombs could be easily
and cheaply made.
Several witnesses testified regarding the
Socialistic demonstration ut the time the
new Board of Trade building was dedi.
Gated.
States Attorney Grinnell stated that he
would have read the translation OF the
platform of the International Working
mems Association and Herr Most's book,
which had already been placed in evil
dence. Captain Black objected to
the reading. 1t was finally decided
that the documents might be pre-
sented, and Assistant States Attorney
Furthinan read in a loud, clear voice the
platform adopted in Pittsburgh and pub
ished in the .lr6citcr-Z Zeitaag. The platform
begins with a TRADE against the capitalists,
in which they are denounced rs tho spoils-
men of the laborer. The working g-men,
it goes on, are forced to COM
init murder and other crimes through
capitalistlc oppression. The screed
finally gets down to busines, and says that
the wOrking-men can hope for no arbitra-
tion through the ballot or peaceful arbitra-
tion. There is but one method-force 1t
advises organization and preparation for
the inevitable conflict between capital and
labor, and calls for revolutionary and ma
tional activity. 1t demands the building up
of n free society, founded on communistic
organization of production, and an organ
ization of the educational system on an
equal basis for both sexes.
Mi. Furthman next began to read Herr
Most's book, Science of Revolutionary
largo pamphlet of forty-nine pages, and
the afternoon. The author goes fully into
the use of dynamite, and explains the best
way to explode it. The whole work is writ
ten in that bombastic style for which the
arch Anarchist is noted, and advocates the
killing of the police by dynamite, gun
powder the knife or prussic acid, the p'ost
deadly of poisons
