CHICAGO, May S.-The rumored capture
last night Of Anarchist Parsons proved
untounded, but that ne is still in the
vicinity of Chicago and quite as yIndictive
as ever is shown by the following letter,
dated Chicago, May Z, p. M, and pub
lished in the Daily News this morning:
EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS: DEAR
SIR want to speak word through you
to my fellow-workers just to let them
know that am still in the land Of the
living and looking out for their interests,
and further give a few hints to some
of the fellows who desire to live on
anarchists, that may be for their welfare.
In the first place am watching the pa
pers and also knowing the chaps who
| give pointers as to my whereabouts, some
of whom will make good subjects for
coroners inquest one of these days should
they persist in their present course. To
the public desire to say that the devil
| is never as black as you can
paint him. | will in due time
turn up and answer for myself for any,
thing may have said or done. l have
no regrets for past conduct nor pledges
for the future, II there is to ue nothing
Whenever the public decide to use reason
and justice in dealing with the producing
class, just at that time will you see me.
But should the decision be to continue
the present course OF death and slavery,
just so long will wage relentless war on
all organized force, and all endeayer to
find me will be fruitless. Watching my
wife and her kind friends is of no use. /
am dead to them already. l
count my lite already sacrificed for daring
| to stand between tyraDts and slaves.
To show you how we'll / am posted l
know who was sent to LAGRANGE for me
to-day. l know who put you on the track
of Glasgow, and just where to ind him.
just say to that man for me that his day
of reckoning will come soon. What must
be done TO satisfy the anarchistI
Grant every fair demand Of labor.
Give those poor creatures enough TO
| satisfy their hunger, and will guarantee
a quiet period, in which all the great
questions can be put in operation with
out further blood. But II not. l am
already sacrificed, and as q martyr for
the cause l shall walt, just as long as
think necessary, for the public to take
warning, and then you decide your
own fate. 1t must be liberty for
the people or death for capital. l am not
choosing men. l love humanity, and
therefore die for it now. Every drop of
my blood shall cost an avenger and war
to America, | have not yet slept, nor
shall until sleep in death, or my fel.
low men are on the road to liberty.
"A. II. PARSONS"

Holmes, Adolph Fischer, and a man
named Ligier, employees OF the Arbeiter

stated that he could not now dIvulge the
character of the evidence he had against
these people. He was willing that Ligier
should be released and that Mrs. Holmes
should be admitted TO $500 or $1,000
bail, although she was prob
ably guilty of preparing some
of the infiammatory articles in the pa
per. As for Fischer, he had evidence
that he had personally thrown the dread
ed bomb or was party TO it. This pro-
duced sensation In court. The Judge
accordingly admitted Mrs. Holmes to
bail, ordered Ligier's release and ordered
Fischer returned TO jail for one week.
