in the Indictment,

in the Indictment.
CHICAGO, August 2O.-Before the prison
oners appeared for sentence the court Off
cjals decided that relatives OF the prisoners
be allowed in the court room, and at 9:15
o'clock the sister of Spies, with another
young woman, made her appearance. She
moved as though she would proceed to the
close proximity OF the chairs heretofore
occupied by the prisoners. but she was
motioned to a seat on the opposite side OF
the room ia the rear Of the line OF police
officers, thus indicating that the prisoners
are not to be surrounded by Their admir-
ers. This forenoon, shortly afterward the
mother of Spies, accompanied by ayOunger
son, also entered the court room and took
seats on the back benches. The jury left
their room at 9:16 q. m, and under the
guidance of ten bailiffs took their way to
the Court House, and were conducted to
the inner room Immediately adjoining the
main court At 9:2O Mrs. Parsons
entered the court room. She was given a
seat between two policemen, and with two
policemen immediately in her rear.
Whether this precaution vas to guard
against any
EXTRAORDINARY XPL
in the court room or not, is OF course un-
known, but the seat accorded the female
anarchist was deemed significant.
The tremendous interest taken in the
outcome OF the trial and the finding OF the
jury ia illustrated by the crowd which has
gathered in front of the Court House to
await the announcement. Nearly W
street, in front OF the main entrance to
the building, gazing up the windows. The
police kept the crowd moving, however,
and it appeared to be composed almost
entirely of simply curious people.
Judge Gary arrived at ga O'Clock. and
almost at the same moment the defen-
dants' counsel arrived. The prisoners
were brought into the court room at 9:52,
and were seated at the Northeast corner
OF the court room OF some side benches.
II WAS LII
to order at 1854. The prisoners presented
about the usual appearance, though Spies
and Fischer looked deathly pale. The jury
arrived at 9:55 O'Clock. There was an i'm
pressive silence as they filed in. When the
jury arrived Judge Gary enjoined absolute
silence. There was a whispered %conversa-
ton between the judge and clerk when the

for a new trial. States Attorney |
Grinnell said it would be impossible to dis

agreed to by the defense. The Court said:
