carried out to the air by the police and
soon revived.
Mrs. Parsons looked haggered as she
started to leave the court room, but
maintained Il moderate degree OF COM
posure.
The crowd remained outside for all
hour after the reading Of the verdict.
1t is understood that the authorities
now contemplate the immediate arrest
of all persons even indirectly connected
with the Haymarket tragedy for con-
spricy. and that in this knowledge many
of the active leaders, hearing OF the out
come of the verdict. are preparing to
leave the city.
All the relations and personal friends
OF the condemned anarchists Immediately
left the court room shortly after the
swooninu of Mrs. Schwab. Mrs. Par
sons and her female companion. after
leaving the court room. returned and
seated themselves by Gen. w. II. Par
sons of Texas, a brother Of one OF the
condemned. The trio discussed the out
come among themselves.
The prisoners were conveyed through
the covered iron way which leads from
the court room to the Jail. and were at
once placed in the cage" Il small COM
partmeut near the entrance TO the Jail,
which is heavily barred and very conf
plctclv covered with q thick wire net
ting. They were joined there shortly
bv their attorneys. who extended to
them what encouragement was in their
power of relief by all appeal. Spies
had dirested himself of his coat, and
seemed TO be the most thoroughly COM
posed Of the eight. He declined to con-
verse with anyone but his attorneys. but
it Is stated that he had a prcmonitlon
that his fate was sealed.
England, who has maintained very
quiet air throughout the trial, appeared
to be the most throughly depressed one
of the lot. He sat on bench. with his
hands clenched in front Of him, looking
afar. He did not even look up to" re-
spond to remark from one OF his COM
panions. ,
Lingg, the young bomb-makcr, walked
about the cage somewhat nervouly, and
would not respond to salutation by a
newspaper representative. lie has lost
his smile, and he displayed the effect OF
the excitement Of the ordeal Of the morn
inc by complete loss of color.
Parsons, who had given himself ur
for trial. looked disconnected and broken
Clown, but joined at intervals in ques-
tions directed at the attorneys.
Fischer, who had looked very badly
during the trial, haYing an almost abso-
lutelY, ,colorless face, had in a measure
recovered himself, ,asnd Smoked a cigar
as he listened to the interchange OF
views between counsel and Spies.
Fielden. the Englishman, sat on box
at the side Of England and offered very
little comment during the talk.
Schwab stood near Spies, taking in
the conversation. but offered no remark.
Neebe, who was given fifteen years in
the penitentlary, was throughly COM
posed, as though he was gratified that he
had escaped the death penalty.
The excitement of the crowd in front
of the court house was something intense
while the verdict was being awarded.
There was none of the joking and laugh
ing that is heard on the only other occa-
sion that brings mob to stand without
these dreary walls-the execution OF a
convicted criminal. Each man seemed
to be holding his breath, and such con-
vcrsations as were held were in low
tone and related solely to the one topic

prisoners who were waiting for the hour
which was to mean life or death to them.
There was ACCORDION Of police stretched
along the sidewalk i'll front of the outer
stairs of the building. A dozen blue
coats mingled with the crowds, and more
stood guard over the little gate in the
alley that leads to the jail yard. Detec-
tives and policemen in citizens clothes
were everywhere to be seen. There was
also regular guard at the street ell
trance to the building. and a deputy
sheriff and two officer were stationed Oh

room
A young man, hatlcss and with his coat
buttoncd up tight around him, stood al
the door OF the Court House. lie had
no sooner heard the verdict than he
pushed himself down the changing iron
stairs, and rushing up to one Of the oili"
GERS at the door. brcathlessly yelled:
''Thcy hung scvcuw Those i'll the front
ranks of the crowd heard the words and
they gave cheer, and the rest Of the
walters took up the hurrah when the
news was communicated to them, and
repeated it many times over. 1t sound
ed like kncll to the prisoners, but it
was an assurance to the tired jurors Of
what they must have almost known all
along-that the interest of Chicago in
the trial had not abated since the morn
