An Appeal for Means to Carry on the
Defense OF COnspiracy's
Victims.

CHICAGO, August 81.
To the American People and All Lovers of
Justice and Constitutional Right.
FRIENDS OF FREEDOM Seven labor
reformer5 have been condemned 20 die,
by class jury, class prejudice, and the
class hate of a monopolistic press. For
what? An exhaustive examination of
the evidence presented and careful
review of the arguments made by the
prosecution fails to show the slightest
reason for such sweeping verdict, un,
less under the rule of American monop-
oily and European capitalism represented
in our BODY polite, it has become high
crime to exercise the rights gu ulranteed
by the constitutiOn-free speach and
free assembage- which our fathers
fought and died. Indeed he whole pro-
ceedings, from the arrest of the victims
to the finding Of the jury, was shame
full manipulation Of judicial machinery
in the interest Of capitaIistic vindictiVe-
ness and police tYrau, y. Police spies,
Plnkerton thugs, paid lnforners, and the
sweat box, abetted by a corrupt press,
ere all use1 to secure verdict which
has given the greatest satisfaction to the
moneyed classes, from Sen Francisco 10
St. Petersburg.
This verdict directly concerns every
Knight of Labor and trades unionist
an every organized body of working
men in the United States. These men
were convicted upon general princi-
pies" as conspirators, aud if the verdict
stands good in law everv labor organiza-
ton is in jeopardy of being dealt with as
a conspiracy.
Comrades! The counsel for the de-
fense are making every preparation fol
new trial, which will require large
sum of nancy. Chicago has already
borne three-foutths of the expense ol
The trial and now the prisonersare with
out means. We, therefore, make ar
earnest appeal to all lovers of justice TO-
financial aid.
AM Trial Fund" has been started
and you are earnestly requested to con
