on the North Side. That was
arranged previously. Other disturb
ances were to be made on the West
Side, to prevent the police from mass
ing at any Ole point.
Lingg said disturbances should be
made all over the North Side
to prevent the police from go
ing to the West Side. AS they
passed the Larrabie Street police
station Lipgg said it would be q
beautiful thing TO throw III couple
of bombs. From Larrabie Street he
and Lingg went up to the Webster
Avenue Station. A patrol wagon came
up. Lingg said he was going. to throw
in a bomb; that it was the best time
to do it. I said it was not g. good
time, that it would be useless.
Lingg became excited and wanted me
to give him some fire from my cigar.
I went into a hall and struck a match
as if / was going to give it to nm.
The patrol wagon passed before the
match lighted. Lingg wanted to toll
low the wagon. He thought there
was trouble on the West SIDE
and wanted to know what it was.
l persuaded him to go home q little
before IL O'Clock. Lingg asked me II
l had seen a. notice in the paper that
the armed men were to hold q meet
ing on the West Side. He showed me
a COPY of the Arbeiter Zeitung, and
pointed to the word "Ruhe," which
he said meant that there was to be g.
meeting, and thet everything was to
be turned upside down.
The word ssRuhe" was the signal for
all of the armed men to assemble on
the West Side. The word was selected
to give the men notice that there was
to be trouble. Lingg and l went to
Neff's Hall, again, where number or
others were. Herman said to Llngg IN
very angry voice, "You are the cause
of it ALL" Then someone told OF
the Haymarket affair and said
that a bomb had killed q great
many. Lingg said nothing. On
their way home Lingg said that
even now he was scolded and jibed at
Tor she work he had done; that his
brothers in the cause did not appreci-
ate him. We hid our bombs under
the sidewalk. It was about midnight
when we reached home.
Witness identified a number of I'M
Elements used by them in the manu-
facture of their bombs, and described
how the dynamite and other stuff was
brought into the house.
Witness knew Engle. and they had
belonged to the same Socialistic group.
He had often heard Engle make
speeches saying that every working
man should make bombs.

gas pipe and asks: ''Is this the way g.
bomb looks when it is ready to go
OFF,"
The court asks: 'sIs that loaded ?"
eyes, your honor" 'sThis is no place
for it, said Judge Gary.
The spectators are evidently very
nervous at the production OF the I'M
plements of Socialistic warfare, and
the women present looked very much
alarmed. The prosecution assured
the Court that they are not dangerous,
and Inspector Bonf1eld offered to take
them into the next room and take off
the caps; but the Court saidssthe next
room was no place for such work, and
the bombs were taken to the lake

The witness resumed his story.
During the car-drivers' strike last year
the delegates from the different groups
used to meet every week at the Arbelter
Zeitung Office. Neebe, Schwab, Lingg
were members of the groups. The
North Side group had rifles and drilled
with them.
Witness identified copy of Herr
Most's book.
The defense moved to have the tesGi-
mony all stricken out, on theground of
irrelevancy." This was overruled, and
the cross examination was begun.
Witness said he had been made no
promises by the states attorney or
officers, who simply told him he had
better tell the truth. Heidi not know
that his testimony or statements
would prevent his being tried for
murder.
The cross examination was severe
and searching, but the witness testi-
mony remained mistaken, and at 1
O'Clock recess was taken.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 22-Judge
Gary's court room was crowded bis
usual this morning, when M. P. Will
hanson, formerly reporter for the
Daily News, was called to the stand.
Mr.. Williamson testified that he knew
Parsons, Spies, and Fielder, and on
the night the new Board of Trade
building was opened the witness was
detailed to follow the Socialistic pro-
cession, which tramped through the
downtown streets. The procession
broke up at 107 Fifth Avenue, the Of
flee of the Arbeiter Zeitung, and Spies,
Fielden and Parsons addressed
the crowd from the window of the
Arbeiter Zeitung Office. Parsons was
the first speaker. He called the police
bloodhounds and servants of the rob-
bling capitalists. He called the crowd
to follow him and attack several
