were kept in q drawer in q cabinet in
the office. Parsons called for them
and Spies got them. Parsons said
these explosives were kept on hand in
preparation for g. war that was inn
pending; that the laboring man was
being robbed by scoundrelly Board OF
Trade men and others. The man.
ner of warfare was to hurl bombs
from the house tops and in that way
they could annihilate any force OF
police or militia that could be assem-
bled. This conversation took place
with Parsons, Fielden standing by.
On going down stairs the witness met
Detectives Trenholm and Sullivan, of
the Cottage Grove Avenue station.
The officers went up stairs with the
witness and the statements were re-
peated to the officers in the pres.
ence of the witness. Several
women carried red flags In the
procession that night. Witness had
attended meetings at 81 Lake Street,
and heard Parsons and Fielder ad-
dress crowds. Fielden on one occa-
sion wanted the crowd to follow him
to some store and get the necessities
of life. Fielden advised the men to
buy dynamite, saying that 5 cents
worth of dynamite was worth more
than all the guns and revolvers in the
Union.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 23.-Every seat
in Judge Gary's room was occupied,
this morning, when Franz Helm, the
first witness in the Anarchist trial,
was called to the stand.
Witness said he wasa saloon-keeper;
that Neebe was in his place of bust
ness, 354 North Clark Street, May 3,
and showed him a poster which the
witness identified. 1t was in the even
ing when Neebe called; several men
were in the saloon. Neebe left copies
of the circular on the table; he spoke
about the Mccormick riot. Neebe ad-
dressed those in the saloon in a gen.
eral way, and said that six or seven
men had been killed at Mccormick s.
Blood had flowed, Neebe said, and he
added: "There will come time, per-
haps, when everything will go the
other way"
The "Reveuge" circular was offered
in evidence by the state, and the wit
ness was turned over to the counsel
for the defense, who refused to cross
examine.
Prof. Olsen, who occupies the Greek
chair at the Chicago University, and
who is also German scholar, has
made a translation of Herr Most's
book, 1.-The Science of Revolutionary
Warfare" and said the translation
which Mr.. Grinnell offered in evidence
was exact and faithful in every detail.
Another translation from an article
appearing in the Arbeiter Zeitung, un-
der date of February 25, 1886, and
captioned: "The International Asso-
citation of Workingmen," and giving
the platform of that organization, was
also offered by the state.
Counsel for the defense precipitated
discussion as to whether or not the
testimony about to be introduced was
relevant.
The Court held that it was, as going
to prove the defendants were engaged
in disseminating reasonable liter
allure.
At this juncture a young lady wear
ing a fashionable hat, snowy gilt
chain about her neck, and q dress Of
light brown stuff, rose from chair in
the back part of the room and pre-
sente6 to each of the eight defendants
