Capt. Black DiSClOSeS the lime OF
His Fight in the Higher Courts.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 22.-Capt. w. P.
Black, attorney for the condemned an
archists, was asked yesterday: SHOULD
the Supreme Court refuse to reverse the
decision of the court below refusing a
new trial can the case in any way be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court?'
He replied: eyes. sir; and l may say
will be in the event of the Supreme Court
of the State refusing to reverse the ad-
verse decision Of the court below. | have
aimed from the first to conduct the case
in such shape as to raise and present fair
ly and fully upon the evidence and in
structionS the great constitutional ques-
tions of the right of the people to meet in
public assembly and of the right of the
people so assem- bled to resist all unlawful
interference herewith.
FIXED IN THE RECORD.
81 believe that have those questions in
the record in such shape as to entitle
me as a last resort to 60 The Federal Su-
preme Court"
Continuing Capt. Black said: "The sew
Gritty and general scope of the punish
ment meted out by. the verdict shocked
me inexpressibly. | did what could in
behalf OF justice and mercy, but that
effort, as the result discloses, was utterly
unavailing against the almost universal
clamor for the execution of these men, as
VAIN as was the pleading of Plate with
his Judean accusers in behalf of the
Divine Socialist"
WATCHING MEETING.
Detectives spent large portion of to-
day in the neighborhood OF No. SO North
Clark street, and closely scrutinized the
delegates to the Central Labor Union
meeting at that place. During the pro-
ceedings Detective Lowenstein sought ad-
mission to the hall but was
promptly shown down stairs. Later
five other detectives went up and
told Chairman Hipp that no sedi-
tious resolutions must be presented,
and laid stress on the resolutions about
the verdict in the case OF the anarchists.
To this the chairman replied that they
had no such object, and that the primary
intention of the assemblage was to ar
range Tor all non-English speaking mem
berS to become citizens and voters at
once. The meeting thereupon passed reso-
luJlons recommending that all members
Immediately apply for naturalization pa
pers. 1t was stated that the Central La
Dor Union had some 10000 members, OF
whom about oHe-half were voters.
ANARCHIsM DISCUSSED.
A delegate hinted that the anarchist
question had been discussed and that
resolution had been passed which was re-
served for the present from publication.
The chairman denied that money had been
raised TO aid the anarchists.
The condemned anarchists spent their
entire time to-day in their cells. Callers
are excluded on Sunday by the rules Of
the jail. Clergymen are the only excep-
tiOns 20 the rule, and the customary sum
day visit was paid the other prisoners by
a minister of the Gospel. The anarchists
were omitted by their own orders. They
said they wanted no religious consolation.
KNIGHTS AGAINST ANARCHISTS.
The Daily News, in an article on the
anarchists and Knights OF Labor, says
that two assemblies largely composed of
anarchists have been suspended. These
are CoOpers' Assembly No. 2,309 and
Mixed Assembly No. 1907. George A.
Schllng. pronounced socialist, was
Master Workman OF the Co0pers, and Par
sons, now under sentence of death, was at
the head of the Mixed Assembly. This
means open war by the Knights of Labor
upon SocIalistic element within it's ranks.
