appeal.
Spies had diyested himself Of his coat
and seemed to be tho most composed of
the eight. He declined to talk with any
one but his attorneys, but il is stated that
he has premonition that his fate was
sealed.
Engel, who has maintained very qniet
an throughout the trial, appeared 10 be
the most depressed one in the lot. He sat
on bench, With his hands cienelled IN
front of him, looking at the floor. He did
not oven look up TO respond to remark
from companion.
Lngg, the bomb maker, walked about
the ''cage' somewhat nervouRly and
would not respond to salntation by q
newspaper representative. He had lost

Schwab stood near Spies, talking, but
offered no remarks.
Neebe, who was given 15 years, was

death penalty. None Of the friends of
the prisoners had appeared Mt the jnil mp

had departed the prisoners were taken
from their former cells and placed in
cell on what ia known as ''murder row. y
The jury, after having received theii
pay, were driven away in carriages to
escape the crowds outside the Jail.
Mr.. Zeeisler of counsel for the defence
said he believed the verdict was ''against
anarchy and not the anarchists on trial. y
He thought the verdict was great sur.
