Tuptly, "Dld you not make to Police Cap

ave o5iect!" shouted every one of the
lawyers for the defense.
They are on their feet excitedly ap-
pealng to the Judge. A hot discussion
ensues, and the defense strain every
nerve to prevent whisper of what
Schraeder told the police reaching the
ears OF the jury. Apparently in despera-
ton the assistant TO the states attorney
blurts out; eve wish TO show that he
has said he heard the word Iule' used.
Judge Garry pounds his desk aud the
words of the lmpetuous Ingham are lost,
when the fact comes ont with no attempt
at Conceilment that the state has been de-
celved and possibly duped; that the tes-
timony Of Schrader Is not
what they had expected him to give.
Capt. Black and Mr.. Foster are in high
gee and Mr.. lngham, his face red with
anger, saws II is evident from the action
OF the witness and from the action of the

Police Lieut.. Steele now takes the
stand. He was in charge of a
company Of twenty-five officers In the
haymarket He gives brief account of
the massacre. The police had their re-
volvers in their pockets, their clubs in
their belts and their hands by their sides
when they reached the speakers wagon,
Some one in the crowd shouted "here
come the bloodhounds," "You do your
duty and we will do ours,n and then the
bomb was thrown and an explosion like
the report Of large pistol.
Cross-eXamined Witness thought the
manner In which the crowd separated be-
fore the police was peculiarly peaceful.
The assemhlaee might have separated in
that manner, but 1t was not likely, He
was close to the wagon, but after Capt.
Wards command TO dlsperse he heard no
expression by Fielder.
Lieut.. Quinn, who also commanded
company Of police In the hay-market
affair, succeeded Steel as witness. He

the bloodhounds; you do your duty and
III do mime" came from man on the
wagon, who was addressing the crowd.

straghtens up in his chair aud sullenly
glares at the witness, A memorable

hay-market. hush falls on the audi

a moment not person in the room stirs,
and the PLACE seems huge picture. In
the very center OF the great apartment,
elevated above the groups Of lawyers and
reporters Is outlined the TALL, spare
inquire OF the lieutenant, motionless
as a statue. Fielding has started
eagerly forward In his chair, his
right hand nervously pulling his shaggy
beard, his eyes slightly shift and a grim
smile Is on his lips. Even the Jurors are
motionless In their seats Slowly the

buzz OF conversation follows, and the
cross-eNamiDation OF the witness begins.

the story as related by the witness,
Minute details are dwelt upon
and the witness becomes confused.
The Judge interferes repeatedly, but the

examination closes and another day Of
the trials ended.
