was at the Anarchist meeting and recog-
nized SPIES and Fielden on the wagon
where the speakers stood when the police
came. He heard the explosion of the bomb,
and Spies and kielden were still on the
wagon He did not see either of them shoot
or have revolver Witness states he did
not belong to any group of Anarchists or
Socialists. On cross examination he stated
that be had known Spies and Fielden for a
few months

Socialist nor an Anarchist He was at the
Haymarket IN >eting. He was with Il friend
and they stood near the alley. They went
into the alley once to light their pipes
krumm has red hair but his face and
head resembles Spies This testimony, the
defense expect, will offset Gilmer evidence
They will contend that Gilmer mistook
krumm for Spies, and that the former in
stead of lighting bomb was doing moth
ing more than lighting his pipe.
