terday afternoon the State's-Attorney i'll
formed the judge and jury in tho Anarch-
ists' trial that he had rendered all his evil
dence against the accused, with the excep-
tion of some formal matter, which he pro-
poses to put in this morning An adjourn
ment was then taken until to-day. The
| strength of the case against the accused
can now be fairly estimated.
| States Attorney Grinnell claims that
the State has proven: ~ That there were
| in Chicago an organization of Anarchists
whose purpose was the destruction of life
and property and the subversion of social
order. (2) That this organization existed in
| Chicago for over two years and that the
eight prisoners were active members OF it,
| (3) That the accused prepared for the
social revolution by the manufacture OF
dynamite bombs. by drilling, arming and
inaugurate the revolt on or about, the lst
of May, 1885, taking advantage of the labor
troubles likely to occur at that time for
the purpose. (5) That the night preced-
ing the Haymarket explosion the insnr'
rection was finally determined on, the
the % slaughter aug Of W the u police oResA' and the the
sacking of the city arranged. (6) That in
pursuance of these plans the bomb was
of tho policemen, and that the Anarchist
| conspirators ON trial had guilty knowledge
of the intention to throw it, assisted in its
! manufacture and caused it to be exploded.
Mr.: Ingham read from Herr Most's book
a description of tn internal machine to
burn down buildings. This apparatus is
described as of wonderful efficiency and
dirt-cheap. 1t is read TO secure the admis-
sion as evidence Of the tin cans spoken of
by Detective Jansen. who saw them ex-
hibited at 81 West Lake street. The court
| is not sure the contents in both cases
are the same and Officer Coughlin of
| the Chicago avenue station Is put on the
stand toprove the character of the COM
pound. He experimental with one can by
I means of Il Illuminating cap. He tried to
explode the can but failed then he attached
a fuse and an explosion followed. Aquan-
tity of burning liquid, much resembling
| vtriol, was distributed in all directions, q
stream was thrown five or six feet high
and for space of ton feet in all directions
the grass was set on fire, and it burned for
| fully five minutes.
Charles b. Prouty, formerly manager of
a .gun-store, testified that Engel and his
wife came to his store last fall and wanted

analysis of the pieces of bomb extracted
from the bodies of the wounded and dead
officers, and to a similar analysis of
