THE n0Mn THRowERs.

English and Detective Hans, of the city
detail.
Then the session began to develop
evidence OF Importance. The most inter-
esting, and probably the most valuable,
testimony of the afternoon was that OF
M. M. Thompson, ~ employe in the
wholesale store OF Marshall Field. The
witness, who had been in business on
the west side, was returning toward the
river ON Randolph street when the Hay
market meeting WAS assembling.
Stopping near an entrance to an alley q
short distance from the speakers wagon
he saw Spies mount the vehicle and in
quire for Paraons and descend to the
ground. Shortly Spies, accompanied by
man who had been pointed out to him
as Sohwab. passed by him into the alley,
Grinnell-Did you hear any words
spoken by either of the men?
The witness-I heard the words
"pistol" and "police.n then one of the
men asked the other would 'one be
enough
Grinnell-What happened then2
The witness-The men came out OF
the alley and went west on Randolph
street. / knew there was to be speak
ing and followed them to learn when
the speaking would take place. They
went to HaIstead street and / followed.
Near Halstead street they were joined
by u third man whom I had not seen
before.
Grinnell (handing the witness a
photograph Of Schnaubelt) "Does this
resemble the man whom yon saw join
Spies and SohWab? 81 S
The witness-Yes, sir. s
What happened then !?
The wltness-The three men started
toward Haymarket. / went along and
once went close to them. I saw Spies
hand the strange man something which
he put in his pocket. A moment later /
passed by the men and heard Schwab
say: Nov il they come give it TO tkem.''
Before I was out Of hearing distance L
heard Spies reply: III don't think We
can, for they won't give us a chance to-
night
The witness then told Low he accom-
panied the men back TO Haymarket,
where by this time quite o crowd had
assembled. Spies mounted the speakers
wagon and he lost sight OF the other
two.
The cross examination was long and
tedious and Foster was exasperatlng to
the witness and the wjtness was half
defiant to the attorney. HThie court was
frequently obliged TO interfere while the
states attorney aroused the ire of Capt.
Black by his efforts to protect the w.t.
ness against the elfects of occasional
brow beating.
The proceedings closed here for the
day.
