Referring to the testimony as 10 Spies

speeding the Inauguration of the social
revolution on May l. Mr.. Zesler endeav-
ored TO show that Spies was. testing about

time would bring about The advice given
by Spies, Parsons ana Fielden TO working
men To arm themselves meant nothing but
that they should organize nnd stand to-

urged his hearers to visit several lead

selves only meant that the sys-
tenn was unjust which allowed so
unequal distribution OF property. These
men were talking To men who were igno-
rant OF the aims of Socialism, and these ut
terances were used merely as logical de-
ductions To illustrate tho problems rs "A

After referring 10 the meeting ut -
Lake street on tho night before the trag-
edy, at which the alleged conspiracy was
concocted, Mr.. Zeisler said that Waller
who was the arch-conspirator, having
been chairman of that meeting, told
much In his evidence for the prosecution
that was untrue. His testimony was for
the greater part manufactured and he re-
ceived payment therefor in cold cash from
Captain Setback
Court adjourned at five o'clock, and Mr.
Zesler will finish his address to-day.
CHICAGO Aug. H.-Mr. Zeisler concluded
his argument for the defense i'm the An
archists' trial yesterday morning with II
bitter denunciation of the police and tho
witness Gilmer, and an appeal to any
member of the jury who might have a
reasonable doubt, to hold out until dooms-
day rather than convict, and not to be
starved into an agreement on verdict.
Mr. Ingham followed for the prosecution
i'm the afternoon. Dwelling first on the
evidence as whole, he showed that each
proven fact was not as link in
a chain of guilt but as the strand
of al a.l. 4 -.
tide of criminality. The theory OF the
State was that for two or more years there
had existed an organized conspiracy tn
overthrow the law and that every man in
that conspiracy threw the bomb that killed
officer Degan. The defendants had sought
the destruction of the law, but that law
was strong enough To secure tho punish
ment of those who sought to- throttle IL.
MIR. lngham then proceeded with an analy-
sis of the general conspiracy, tracing its
history, and ingeniously weaving into his
narrative every important fact of the tes-
timony.
He dwelt on the fact that in the socalled
American group there were not more
than score of Americans, and more than
halt OF these were women and cranks,
while the only dangerous members were
Parsons and Fieden. The bulk
of the Anarchists were the offscour-
lngs OF Continental Europe, who,
though not yet citizens of this country

vert social order and establish the
rule of n miserable handful of foreign
Anarchists by means of dynamite instead
of the rule of the majority. He compared
Spies writings during the first DAYS of
May with those of tho Commune that
flooded Paris with gore and substituted
for the Virgin Mother brazen prostitute
who personated the Goddess OF Liberty
Mr.. lngham traced the development of
the Haymarket conspiracy, and made
strong argument 20 prove its careful plan
ming, the utilization of the labor
difficulties by Spies, the summon

! for the attack, the careful selection
of the place for slaughter. the incite-
ments 10 violence 10y Spies and his confeC-
crates Parsons and Fieden, and the sub
