going to gain your pointl No, you will
have to 90 back to work for less wages
than you formerly received" When he
mentioned the name of Jay Gould, some
one cried out, chang him! throw him in
the lakei" Parsons said, "No, that
won't do. II Jay Gould was put out of
the way to-day another Jay Gould or a
hundred Jay Goulds would rise up. II is
not the man, but the system, that ought
to be destroyed"
The witness said the crowd seemed en-
tirely in sympathy with Parsons and APP
plauded him frequently.
Allen was at Zepf's hall when the ex-
plosion occurred at the meeting at the
haY-market. He saw Spies, Parsons,
Fielden and, he thinks, Schwab, but is
not certain Of the latter.
! On cross.examination the witness saws
he did not see Parsons at Zepf's hall that
evening. He was not at the hay market
in the capacity of a reporter, but, having
another assignment In the neighbor-
hood, strolled down to the hay-market
In an distracted mood. He had Instruc-
tions from his paper never to report
Parsons.
The witness saw Mr.. Markoff at
Zepfs hall, but is positive this man
(Flsher) was not In the company of the
defendants at that place. Allen was
asked If he saw Fisher, and he said he
did not.
Tuthill, another reporter, was at the
hay-market, but not on assignment, and
while Parsons was speaking. The wit
ness thought the crowd was made up OF
two classes-those opposed to the
speaker, and they were in majority, and
those in sympathy with the speaker.
A stout, matronly woman, whose ample
figure was enfolded in a dress OF white
lawn, came into Judge Garey's court early
this morning with number Of bouquets.
When the anarchists were brought in
the woman rose and rendered each of them
bunch of flowers.
Detective Cosgrove was one of the OIL
GERS detailed to attend the hay-market
meeting and testified particularly regard
ing the speech made by Parsons. The
crowd present he estimated at 2000 and
as unruly and excited. Parsons, near
the close Of his speech, frequently cried,
"To arms" which served to greatly in.
crease the excitement.
The witness kept going from the wagon
TO the police station to report the exact
condition of affairs, and when he went to
the station the last time to report the
character OF Parsons incendiary utter
ances the police were mastering to move
down Desplaines street. The witness
went ahead, and remained behind tee-
graph pole when the firing commenced.
His recital of the order to dispense, the
explosion of the bomb and the firing
into the police ranks did not vary from
former narratives.

recognized by the socialists, and would

Detective McKeogh, who was present
at the hay-market riot, gave similar
clear version OF the speeches and firing.
Il. owen, reporter, saw Parsons at
the corner of Randolph and Halsted
streets shortly before the hay-market
meeting began. He asked Parsons where
the meeting was to be held Parsons re-
piled that he did not know.
Why" remarked the witness, "you
are going to speak, aren't your"
"No," replied Parsons, II am going to
the South side" Saying this he drew
back and slapping the witness Familiarity
on the back he remarked, care you

your"
Parsons then moved away. His wife
accompanied him. He beard Spies, Par
sons and Flelden speak and his recital of
their utterances vary slightly from for
mer accounts. The witness saw the APP

corner of Randolph and Desplaines

The witness testified that he saw a shot

at that time the police had not fred.
NJ. G. Metzner, hardware merchant
at the corner of Desplaines and Randolph
