THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
More startling Developments expected
The Case Simmering Down.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The continuation of
the anarchists trial this week, it is ex-
pected, will witness several new and
startling developments. After vast
quantity of testimony, similar to that al
ready given by Detective Jansen, from
other detectives who have for various pur-
poses been employed to watch the move
ments of the Chicago dynamiters for the
past two years, some of them in the pay of
the citizens association, and others in the
service OF the national Pinkerton's agency
at the instance Of foreign governments Il
dozen witnesses will be called to give the
substance of the incendiary speeches
made by Parsons, Spies and Flelders, at
the Haymarket, on the evening OF May T.
The prosecution expects to rest its case by
next saturday although it may take State 5
Attorney Grinnell a little longer to get in
all the available evidence, much of which
has unexpectedly came To hand since the
trial commenced.
The story published IN New York
paper Saturday regarding an alleged in
tervew with lgnatZ Swobotka, of that city
in which Swobotka is made to confess that
he threw the Haymarket bomb, finds no
confirmation among the authorities here.

to do with the estigation of the case and
with the direction of the efforts that have
been put forth TO find the real bomb-throw.

the penalty of forfeiture by virtue Of
which the Doughty is liable for the pur-
chase OF bait or ice, or for entering st.

fishing vessel. but was also in accordance
with the United States revised statutes,
licensed to touch and trade at any foreign
port in such manner as may not be lncon-
sistent with lawful actions of said foreign
port it is denied that Doughty entered
for bait, but while in port the captain
purchased certain bait offered him solely
to fish outside and beyond the limits of

was purchased, is commercial port of

still to inspect the accounts of all
other newspapers which had papers mail

The report which accompanies Mr..

to enact such preliminary legislation as is
