RUsK, TEX, Feb. i2.-Editor GAZETTE.
Yours of the 4th inst. received. / am OF
the opinion that the jury law of Texas is
about as nearly perfect as practicable In
my opinion, the greatest obstacles to the
enforcement OF the law and the execution
OF justice arise out Of want of proper
education of those who are called to serve
as Jurors, and the little courts of our
country, presided over by justices OF the
peace, are enacting farces daily for the
public, the esult of which Is felt when
those who witness these performances are
called upon to render verdicts. The man
OF little culture has been educated by the
scenes presented in such courts to disre-
gard law and to regard the whole social
fabric as complete farce; consequently,
when impaneled as juror in court of
record, influenced by early and lifetime
schooling of the character alluded to, he
finds verdict according to his precon-
ceived prejudlces. The sooner the justice
court system is blotted out the better for
tine prevalence Of law and order.

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Testimony Against Them Given to the
Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, May 81.
The grand jury is now in the possession o,
all the material facts in the dynamite con.
spiracy, which show the guilty parties TO be
August Spies, Schwab, Parsons and Fielding
The evidence that would implicste the Others,
net yet apprehended, and among them the
men VINO hurled the bombs, has been with
held by the authorities.
The testimony at the hour of adjournment
Thursday noon, when most of the Arbeiter
Zeitung printers had been examined, makes
1t plain that for months past the Anarchists
nave been secretly preparing to attack the
ponce with dynamite and other agents of dis
truction. The jury desired to know the ex-
tent of this conspiracy before indicting the
lessor cons2irators whose guilt might be
equal TO the others if evidence was forth
coming The police. many of the Jurors
thought, were keeping something back, per-
haps to make their case stronger when
brought into court. There is good reason to
believe that Lingg and his fellows are as
guilty as their crowd
Sirong testimony taken to support this
view WAS given bv X b. Fuller, manager
for Pribyl Bros dealers in guns and fixed
ammunition. He testified that for sometime
previous to the riot purchases of guns and
heavy revol'ers were made at his store by
poorly dressed men whose action excited the
hrm's suspicion. Sometimes these men
would call in party, four or FIVE of them
together and lay out their money for weap-
ons and ammunition. These are the men,
who some of the grand jury think, according
to Judge Rogers instructions, can be indicted
for capital offence, provided the police dis
close more evidence. 1t is charged that the
police have Obtained most of their evidence
on confessions of Anarchists who were in.
duced to talk on the promise of immunity.
The police deny this. The testimony OF
Capt. Setback and detectives who have
been working to apprehend the bomb throw.
ers will be heard today. There is a belief
that before evening indictments will be
found.
-Four mysterious arrests were made late
Thursday night by detectives from East Chi
cago Avenue station. The four men were
closeted in the office for over an hour with
Capt. Setback and the assistant State attor-
ney Furthermore they were afterwards
locked up. The same air of mystery per-
vaded at the station during the night that at
tended the arrest of Lingg. Capt. Setback
could not be interviewed, and no one else in
the station knew anything about the arrests,
except that the men are, at least, important
witnesses whom it is deemed best to place in
safe keeping for the grand jury.

real or financial wrong and shall by destruc-

MAXWELL'S TRIAL.
A Witness Positively Identifies the Bod )
of Prellar.

ST. LOUIS, May 81.
Interest in the Maxwell case continues un-
diminished. At the opening of the proceed
ings Friday, a greater crowd Of curious spec
tators was present than on any previous day.
This was due perhaps to the fact that wit
ness was to be examined who had positively
identified the body found in the zinc trunk at
the Southern Hotel, as that of c. Arthur
Prellar. This witness proved to be J. A.
Frazier of Toronto, Canada, for many years
a photographer, but now portrait painter
and sculptor. Frazier was placed on the
stand and testified that he had met Prellar in
Toronto a year ago last February. He de-
scribed Prellar as he knew him then and ex-
hibited portrait of him which he had paint
ed. 1t had been pronounced an excellent
likeness. He was shown by Mcdonald of
the prosecution, during the latter's visit at
Toronto, post mortem photograph of Prel-
lars body and had made portrait of it. He
described his visit to st. Louis after the mur.
der. He had visited the cemetery in the
country with one of the counsel for the de-
fense. Had seen the cssket in which Prel-
lars body had been placed, exhumed, and
recognized the body without doubt as that
of Prellar. He recognized the corpse by the
face and the peculiar scar over the left eye.
brow considered the body to be in a remark
able state of preservation. Witness denti-
fed two different photos Of Prellar The
cross-examination failed to confuse the wit
ness. and as he stepped down from the stand
it was evident that the jurors and spectators
alike, entertained no doubt az to the identity

Wiggin came to this city last October and
had worked on the new Jail as a mason. He
came from New Hampshire. He had been
connected with the fire department of Man

here. His wife notified the police yesterday
that she was afraid he would shoot her, az he
had threatened to do so, but was told that he
probably would not carry his threat into ex-
ecution. Domestic trouble and jealousy on
Virgins part are said to be the cause of the
tragedy.
