ever. The most important points against him
were developed during the trial and by the
witnesses for the defense, and especially by

There is some talk of getting Rau and
Most indicted for the capital crime by a
future grand jury. Had Schroeder testified

Setback, Neebe, it is claimed, would have
shared the fate of his co-conspirators. The

Neebe from the gallows. The most active
worker for the defense was Capt. Walters

procured the pairs" of witnesses, referred
to by MI. Grinnell in his closing speech. 1t
is said he got Schroeder over. The troops

the police say, were drilled by him. His
knowledge of English is limited, or they
might have told more consistent stories.

They refused to hold any intercourse
with him. Belz, another socialist leader,
the Irish dynamiter. Gleason, and George
Schilling were also active workers for the
defense. 1t is said that Rau has fed the
city. He has not been seen in his accus-
toned hauntS for the last few days. A de-
tail of ten policemen from Capt Schaack's
force spent the night at the jail as a special
| guard for the anarchist convicts. These
were relieved by another squad this morn
ing. The prisoners held an extensive con-
ference with Capt. Black, their chief coun-
sci, this morning, regarding the program to
vent if possible the Judgment being carried
out. Mark Crawford of the Trade and La
Dor assembly, being asked his opinion of
the verdict in the anarchists case by a re-
| porter said
''The verdict Is all right, but it does not
reach far enough. The whole crowd of law
breakers should be banged, and that

"CertalnIy. We knew the bombs were be-

asked Mr.. Harrison to stop the lake front

The anarchists of Chicago have done more

A PRIVATE CONFERENCE
at his office in the criminal court. with
Capt Setback Detective Bonfield and his
assistants, Mr.. Walker and Mr. Futhmann.
/ The principal question discussed was the
attitude of the state toward the remaining
anarchists in Chicago. who have not been
arrested or presented for indictment by the
grand jury. At the conclusion of the con-
ference the states attorney was asked:
