cutcAeO October 9.--AS the concluding
scanes of the great trial OF anarchists ap-
n-osches its close, more interest Is taken,
aud suppressed excitement smore marked.
Hundreds and hundreds of people wended
their way toward the Criminal Court build
ing. each one desirous of listening to the
con clusion of the speech OF Anarchist Par
sons, and with the expectation OF hearing
the death sentence pronounced. Parsons
resumed his speech as soon as the court was
opened. He created something OF sensa-
tion by decl airing In very dramatic and
inn pressive manner that they had positive
proof that the bomb which created such de
structioD at the Haymarket was thrown by
an agent Of New York capitalists and mo-
nop0lists, who sent q man out here to take
that means of breaking up the strength OF
the anarchist movement.
Anarchist Parsons spoke continuously In
Judge Gary's Court to-day for FIVE hours
and forty minutes and sank into his seat
exhausted. Captain Black entered mo.
ton in arrest Of judgment and the Court
pr9Geeded to execute the solemn hibteS aux 1e
considerable emotion and when he reached
the word "hang' he faltered, and
with difficulty uttered "till you are
dead The pF' ,on,ers' .h VINO ssntsnca mao
with added pallor exhibited no other emo
ton In hearing the fatal words, AS they
rose Mrs Parsons came up ana kissed her
husband. The relatives OF the other de.
fendants wrung their hands but none Of the
women shed tears. The Judges words in
imposing the sentence will not soon be for
gotten. They are as follows: Il am quite
well aware that what you nave said, al
the world. Yet nothing has been
said which weakens the force OF
the proof or the conclusions therefrom

all men of intelligence and know that II
the verdict stands 1t must be executed: l

for your unhappy condition aud the terri.

the faint hope that a few words from the
place where the people OF the State of Hill
nois have the authority to declare penalty
for the violation OF laws, and spoken upon
an occasion
so SOLEMN AND AWFUL
As this may come to the knowledge and be
needed by the ignorant, deluded and mis-
guided men who have listened to
your counsel and followed . your
advice. 1t isnot the least among the hard

oBEYING THE LAW,
Aud the law is common sense 1t holds
e ch man responsible for the natural and
probable consequences OF his own acts. 1t
holds that whoever advises murder Is him
self guilty OF the murder that Is committed
pursuant to his advice; and II men band
together for fOrcible resistance to the exc
cution Of the law aud advise
MURDER AS A MEANS
OF making such resistance eGectual,
whether such advice be to one man to mur-
der another, or to a numerous class to muir
der men Of another class ALI who are so
banded together are guilty of any murder
that La committed In pursuance of such ad-
vice The people OF this country love their
institutions They love their homes. Tney
love their property. They will never con-
sent that By
VIOLENCE AND MURDER
Those institutions shall be broken down,
their homes devastated and their properly
destroyed. And the people are strong
enough to protect and to sustain their inst-
tutions and to punish all the offenders
against their laws, and those who threaten
danger TO CIVIL society, II tne law Is Gu
forced, are leading 10 destSuc.ion whoever
attempt to
EXECUTE SUCH THREATS.
The existing order OF society can be
changed only by the will of the majority.
Each man has right to entertain and ad-
vocate by speech and print such opinions
as suit him and the great body of the peO-
pie will usually care little what he says.
But il he proposes murder as a means OF en-
forcing his issues, he puts
HIS OWN LIFE AT STAKE,
And no clamor about free speech or evils to
be cured HOr wrongs to be redressed will
shield him from the consequences OF his
crime. His liberty is not liceueed to des-
troy. The liberation he enjoys he must ex-
tend to Others and not arrogantly assume

Or removed by dynamite. 1t only remains
that for the crime you have committed and
OF which you have been convicted-unex-
ampled in the patience with which an out
ragged people have extended to you every
protection and privilege of law which you
derided and deied-that the
SENTENCE OF THAT LAW
Be now given. In form and detail that
sentence will appear upon the record of the
Court In substance aud effect 1t is that

State Pentcntary at Joliet at hard labor for
