ANARCHISM EXPOSED.
SPIES INGENIOUS PLAN FOR REMov-
ING THE CAPITALISTS.

What Pinkerton Detective Heard at a
sociaiistic Meetirg-The Defense in the
Anarchists Trial Begun-Mayor Har-
rison the First Witness-A Bomb That
Wouldn't Explode.
BosToN, Msss, Aug 3-Superintendent
Cornish, OF the finkerton Detective agency.
furnishes The Herald with long expose CT
the secret workings of the Anarchists Of
Chicago, which he says have been
thoroughly explored by the Fullerton force.
Parsons Mr.. Cornish says was one of the
first to blossom out as red hot Anarchist
He soon took Spies into his counsel While
in Grief's hall one night Cornish heard Mrs.
Parsons make violent speech, in which
she advocated hurting bombs at the re-
sidences of the wealthy citizens Of Chicago.
Spies told them that he had better plan,
which was as follows:
let every man arm himself with little
syringe, just large enough to be concealed
in the closed hand. The point of the syringe
should be just as small and fine as that of q
needle, SO that it can easily penetrate cloth
ing and skin. The bulb of the syringe
must be filed with prussic acid and then it
is already for business. Armed with this,
you can walk up alongside of the capitalist
to be removed quickly insert the needle
point through his clothes and into bis flesh,
and at the same time squeeze the bulb, send
ing the prussic acid into his veins The
victim would not mind the attack any more
than he would notice slight prick of pin
or the bite of a flea, but the poison would
kill him in very few minutes, and his
death would be horrible one He would
not know, and if he did he could not tell,
what had been done to him
This ingenious ath-dealing scheme was
crested. with acclamations of approval anG
applause by all who were present, including
Parsons Fielden, and man named Dusny.
Cornish gives at considerable length the
history of the various groups of Socialists
in this city, details the experiments with
dynamite which were made by Spies,
Scnwab, and Fischer, the establishment of
The Alarm at Parsons suggestion, and then
gives the place of meeting of each of the
thirteen regularly constituted groups which
on May were in existence in Chicago and
the iowa of Lake, as well as of the Cigar
makers Revolutionary society and half
dozen other organizations, which he says
are Anarchist societiea
