New Trial.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The hearing of the
motion for new trial in the case of the
seven condemned anarchists, under sentence
of death for their participation in the Hay
market slaughter, was commenced before
Judge Gary in the criminal court this morn
ing. Capt Black on behalf of the con-
demned men, offered an affidavit which de-
clared that Special Baiiitf Henry l.. Rice
who summoned nearly all Of the panel
from which the curry was obtained, had
made a remark to a merchant named Favor
OIL Wabash avenue. to the effect that he
knew his business and was selecting men
who would hang the anarchists. The at
torney asked that Mr.. Favor and man
named Stephens should be summoned into
court and questioned as TO the remark.
The states attorney expressed surprise that
the counsel for the defense should make
allegations, without first informing him of
their purpose to
ATTACK AN OFFICER OF THE COURT.
The court replied to Capt Black that
there vas no date attached to the affidavit
The court also said there was no precedent
for taking oral proceedings at this stage Of
the proceedings, and Overruled the motion
to summon the persons named. The c0nu-
sci for the prisoners then read the motion
for the new trial, which has already been
printed This embodied an affidavit by T.
j. Morgan to the effect that he had heard
Juror Denker declare. shortly after the
Haymarket meeting. that the whole crowd
of anarchists
OUGHT TO BE HANGED.
An affidavit by Michael Gull was also
read, to the effect that Juror Adams had
expressed himself to the affiant in about
the same language. An affidavit by Ed
Stevens was also read. which stated that
Mr. Favor. merchant had told him that
Rice, the deputy had said that 1.-The an
arch SITS would hang as sure as death. }"
The affidayits of A. Plove and
Orrin Blossom were then read, declaring
that they saw the witness, Gitmer, in a
saloon on Van Buren, street before ard
after the bomb throwing. This affidavit
was to impeach Gitmer, who swore that he
saw Schnaubelt throw the bomb. The affi-
davit of the indianapolis saloon keeper. j.
p. DeLuce. was then reads citing the fact
of the presence of a mysterious stranger in
his place a few days before the bomb
throwing, who intimated that trouble would
occur in Chicago. Mr.. Seigler one of the

which was contrary to law. The prisoners
were in court during the forenoon. They
all showed the effects of their imprlson-
ment. Spies. Schwab and Fischer, in par
ticular, had very white faces.
Capt Black read to the court extracts
from States Attorney Grnnell's closing adj
dress to the jury criticizing what he termed
the Objectionable and
UNLAWFUL PORTIONS
of it. Assistant States. Attorney Walker
read several affidavitS on behalf of the
prosecution, which were filed this morning
in reply to those previously presented by
the attorneys for the defendants Capt.
John Carney. chief of the Evanston police.
deposed that Michael Gull, of Evanston,
who, in his affidavit alleged that JurYman
George W. Adams told him prior to the
trial that the defendants all ought to hang
and that they were beggars in this country
who ought to be shot like dogs. is a worth
less character, unworthy of belief. The
affidavit of Juror Adams is also given. 1t
simply denies making the remarks attributed
to him. within the hearing of Michael Gull
Juror Denker denied saying in presence of
Thomas j. Morgan that Spies and the rest
ought to hang. though he had an opinion
that he had never spoken. Captain Black
urged the court to grant postpOnement OF
the arguments. Affidavits had been read and
put in as part of the record. but Judge Gary
declined to grant it. Finally he adjourned
court until D. ln., at which time he said
he would give his decision on the matter
of postponement. At. 2 p. m. Judge Gary
asked for that part of the record referring
to the examination of Mr.. Denker as a
Juror. Mr. Solomon handed him the record,
which he proceeded to look over for his own
satisfaction. Does your honor grant us
further time to procure affidavits regarding
Cull's reputation" asked Capt. Black. Il
see no reason for granting further time for
filing an affidavit on that subject" the court
said After good deals more talk aoout
producing more contradictory affidavits,
Can't. Black asked whether the argument
could not go over Till next Tuesday. Il
will not consent to THAT" the states attor-
ney said. The court
REFUSED TO GRANT THE CONTINUANCE
and Black took an exception. The captain
made an argument. saying he had a right
to answer the inpeaching affidavits filed by
the states attorney. and he proposed to Sc
cure the benefit of that right in the higher
court. Black then began the opening ar
gument on the motion for new trial. He
devoted himself particularly to the argu-
ment made by the states attorney, which,
he claimed, was improper, and calculated
to leave a wrong impression on the minds
of the jury. He complained that Mr.. Grin
nell had told the jury that the police had
discovered bombs in the city of Chicago
sufficient to destroy it, and that he believed
these bombs were aimed at the lives of the
jurors. He also objected to the statemelt
made in the presence of the jury that the
counsel for the defense had admitted that
Mt. Ingham's argument was unanswerable.
That statement, Capt. Black claimed, had
produced an impression upon the jury pre-
judicial to his clients. The counsel, during
