[Chicago special
The convicted anarchists will not be
hanged on the Sd proximo. Judge Scott, of
the Supreme bench, has granted writ of
supersedeas, which operates as n stay of ex-
ecution pending the hearing of the appeal
by the full bench. This hearing will take
place mt the spring term of the count, to be
| held mt Ottawa. and the final decision will
hardly be rendered before April or Nay.
| The granting of the supersedeas was almost
| n foregone conclusion. IL is in conformity
with the almost invariable practice of the
| Supreme Judges in capital cases, when u
| delay of sxsoaiioa. 10 necessary 20 allow the
court time for hearing an appeal.
How the Condemned Men Received the
| News.
From the Chicago Tribune
The anarchists were all pleased with the
news, and if they eventually escape all pun
isl ment it is safe to say they won't again
play with edged toos. When seen by q
reporter Parsons was seated in his cell. He
had his feet against the grated door and his
chair tilted back at an angle of forty five
degrees. Asked what he thought of the
granting of the supersedeas, he said it
struck him very favorably, and he was glad
to hear it. lie didn't know to what extent
the influences brought to bear in the trial
before Judge Gary would affect the decision
of Supreme Court Justices on q motion for
supersedeas, but he was pleased to see
that they had cut no figure. He thought
the decision of Judge Scott in granting the
writ was in itself an evidence that the con-
yiction of himself and the others was a
violation of the law.
"If you get out of this scrape do you
think you will talk and write in the future
as YOU did in the past?" he was asked.
II can't say whether / would write the
same things and preach the same doctrines.
For my part, am willing to say the rascali-
ties, outras ses, and robberies to which the
working classes have been subjected some-
times get the better of q man who feels for
them, and leads him to say things he
wouldn't say when in his calmer moments.
It's q good deal like politics, where the
leader of one party abuses the leader OF
the other, but after the campaign is over
everything settles down TO quiet again.
Fischer was not much surprised to heal
the news, as he thought all along that the
writ would be granted. He believed, how
ever, that if Judge Scott was of similal
material to Judge Gary there would have
been no hope at all.
Fielden was not disappointed over the
news, as it was just about what he expected
He was uncertain what business he would
engage in if he finally got clear of hi
present troubles, and was unable to sa,
what influences might be brought to beal
upon him to change the opinions he had 81
freely uttered in the past
Schwab couldn't say he was much sur
prised at the news, for his attorneys had as
sured him that everything was favorable to
the granting of the writ. He thought simila
disturbances TO those of last May would oc
cur again, but intimated that he wouldn
be mixed up in them. "We Germans" h
said, "are more radical and outspoken II
our views than Americans, because we hav
seen the same state of affairs produce tn
same results in the old country, and, Il
raising our voices against the further op
preston of the working people, only trie'
to avert the disasters that have overtakel
them elsewhere"
Spies was expecting the supersedeas, bu
would not have been surprised had 1t bee
refused after what he had seen at the trial
He said he was not ashamed - "nvthin
he had written in the past, although adm.
ting he might have said some unreasonabl
things. Concluding, he said: my cours
, in the past may not have been wise, but
never willingly harmed anybody in my life
If the verdict is sustained, henceforth an
, man can be arrested and dragged TO prison
tried, convicted, and punished for any un
/ lawful act committed by persons known o
I unknown"
Neebe believed all the time that the su
, persedeas would be granted, and never fel
alarmed over its being refused.
