ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Chicago Anarchists Found Guilty
of Murder.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-There are four diff
ferent versions given out this morning as
to the verdict decided upon by the jury in
the Anarchist cases. One accepted fact is
hat the jury has..decided upon a verdict.
and that all the defendants, except Neebe,
have been found guilty and have been
given various grades of punishment. A
police rumor is that six of the men
Spies, Fielder, Fischer. Parsons, Schwab
and Lingg. have been found guilty of
murder, and that Neebe and Engel will be
given penitentiary sentences. Another
statement reduced the number who will
receive the capital penalty to three-Spies,
Fielden and Fischer. There are nojmeans
Of accurately determining the truth Of any
of these rumors until the verdict is given
at 10 O'Clock. No absolute credence can
| be given any OF them. The jurymen re-
main in their rooms ut the Revere House.
Just across the street from the courtroom.
| About this building are q large mum Der Of
police to prevent any attempt to break in
| upon the privacy of the jury. In front of
tho main entrance to the Courthouse are
80 police. and three lines OF the police
| and court bailiffs have to be encountered
before any one can approach the court
| room. At 6 O'Clock this morning there
| were 20 police in uniform in the court
room and several press representatives.
The court officials decided that the rela-
| tives of the prisoners be allowed in the
courtroom, and at 9:15 O'Clock Sister
Spies, with another young woman, made
/ her appearance. She moved as though she
| would proceed to q CLOSE proximity OF the
| chairs heretofore occupied by the prison
| ers, but she was motioned to q seat In
| the opposite side OF the court in the rear
line, the police officers indicating that pris-
/ oners are not to be surrounded by their ad-
| mirers. This forenoon, shortly afterward.
| the mother of Spies, accompanied by a
younger son. also entered the courtroom
1 and took seats on the back benches. The
Jury left their hotel at 9:16, and under the
| guidance of Is bailifs, took their way TO
the Courthouse, and were conducted to an
| inner room Immediately adjoining the
main courtroom. At 800 Mrs. Parsons
entered the courtroom. She was given a
seat between two policemen, and with two
policemen Immediately in her rear.
Whether this was 9 ~prscaution TO guard
against any extraordinary exploit in
the courtroom or not is Of course
unknown. but the sea accorded to
the female Anarchist was deemed
significant. The tremendous interest
taken in. the outcome OF the trial
aud the finding Of the jury is illustrated
by the crowd which has gathered in front
| Of the Courthouse to await the announce
ment. Nearly 1000 people were gathered
OIL Michigan Avenue in the front main en-
trance to the building. gazing up ct the
windows. The police got the crowd NOV
ing, however. and it appeared to be COM
posed almost entirely of simply curious
people. Judge Gary arrived at 9:47
o'clock, and almost at the same moment
the defendant to- counsel arrived. The pris.
| oners were brought into the courtroom at
$50. and seated at the northeast corner
Of the courtroom on the same side
| benches. Court was called to order at
1854. The prisoners presented about the
usual appearance, though Spies and
Fischer looked deathly pale. The jury
arrived at 9:55. There was an impressive
silence as they filed in. When the jury
appeared Judge Gray enjoined absolute
silence. There was a whispered consulta-
ton between the Judge and Clerk, when
the verdict was read as follows: 1--WE,
the Jury, find the defendants August
| Spies, Michael Schwab. Samuel Fielder,
Albert r. Parsons. Adolph Fischer, George
Engal and Louis Lingg-guilty of murder
AZ charged 10 the indictment, and fix the
penalty at death. We find the defendant,
Oscar W.. Neebe, guilty Of murder in the
manner and form as charged in the indict-
ment. and fix the penalty at imprisonment
In the penitentiary at Is years."
Captain Black asked that the jury be
polled. The jurymen answered with firm
voices. Captain Black said that be would
make q motion for q new trial. States
Attorney Grinnell said 10 would be i'm
possible to dispose of the motion during
the present term. but by an agreement the
motion could be argued ct the September
term. This was agreed to by the defense. |
The Court let the motion be entered and
continued until the next term, and the
defendants we're taken to jail. The pris-
oners then filed out during the interim
under the guidance Of bailiffs. Hardly
had the jury left the room when q pierre
ing Shrek was heard. followed by q heavy
falling OF the wife OF Schwab to the floor, |
to whom the result OF the verdict had
been interpreted. She is also the sister OF
Schnobelt, the alleged bomb thrower.
She was carried out into the air by the
police. aud was soon revived. Mrs. Par
ons looked haggsrd as she e.srted TO leave
the courtroom. but maintained . moder-
ate degree Of composurs. The crowd re-
msined outside for an hour after the read
ing Of the verdict. II is understood the
authorities now contemplate b eimmedists
arrest Of all persons even indirectly con-.
nected with the Haymarket tragedy for
conspiracy. and that in this knowledge
many Of the active leaders, hearing OF the
outcome Of the verdict, are preparing to
leave the city.

Chicago Avenue police station under the
command of Captains Schaick and Little.
