right in higher court. Capt. Black then
began the opening argument on the mo
ton for new trial. He de-
voted himself particularly to the
argument for the state made by the
states attorney, which he claimtd was
improper and calculated to leave wrong
Impression on the minds OF the
jury. He complained that Grin
nell had told the Jury that
the police had discovered bombs in the
city of Chicago sufficient to destroy it,
and he believed these bombs were aimed
at the lives of the jurors. He also OBJ
lected to the statement made in the pres
ence of the jury that the counsel for
the defense had admitted that Mr.. Ing
hams argument was unanswerable That
statement, Capt. Black claimed, had pro-
duced an impression upon the Jury
prejudicial to his clients counsel. During
the course of his speech he was rebuked
by the court in one instance for making
wrong statement respecting a ruling
made by the court.
TWO STRONG POINTS.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. l.--Iu connection
18th the anarchist case, which was being
rgued to-day on motion for a new trial.
the announcement is made that counsel
for the condemned men have procured
and filed with the states attorney two afl-
davits OF men bearing the names of Love
and Blossom, who have sworn that on the
night Of May last, Henry Gilmer, an in
,ntrovertible witness in the famous
trial, was in their company In saloon
corner OF Van Buren, and Halsted streets,
from about s O'Clock until 10 or after, and
that it was therefore impossible for
him to have been where he swore
b. was at the Haymarket meeting. Like,
Gihner, Love and Blossom are said to be
printers Gilmer, it will be remembered,
swore that he went to the meeting early
to see friend with whom he had an ap.
pointment, and while looking for his
friend saw suspicious trio in an alley
behind Crane Bros building and watched
their movements closely until he saw one
Of them, Spies, light the fuse OF bomb,
and the other, Schnauoelt, hurl 1t at the
waiting police, He was very positive In
his Identification of both Spies and
Schwab, pointing out the latter
two in the courtroom. Schnaubelt
was identified by photograph which
was III the POSSESSION ., the nolice that
was landed him on the stand. States
Attorney Grinnel says the affidsvits are
intended to impeach the testimony OF
Gilmer, but he is confident they will do
nothing OF the kind, He suspec te6
something wrong from the beginning, and
on first seeing the affldavits sent for the
two men, Love and Blossom, and ques-
toned them closely. The former, who
stated in his affidavit that he knew Gilmer
for fifteen years, broke down and con-
fessed he did not know him at
all, and that the affidavit
was false In every particular. He
said he had been induced to make 1t by
so-called detective engaged In hunting
evidence for the anarchists defense under
promise OF rich reward Blossom stuck
to his story, and when confronted with
Loves confession seemed to assume that
Love had been scared and intimidated
into retracting what he knew to be true.
The detective also, IL is said, has weak
ened, and confessed that he designedly
imposed on the lawyers Tor the defense
IN nope OF making rich sum
OF money. Every endeavor was made
to suppress these facts until the case was
reopened. The lateness OF the hour at
which the story leaked out, and then only
In two sections, made it impossible to
further look into the records OF Love and
Blossom. Efforts to find the anarchists'
counsel were useless, but the
lacts, as given, are youched
for as correct. II there is no truth in the
theory that Love has been inundated
counsel for anarchists were imposed upon
by designing knave, They, it is not
disputed, drew the afiidavits and filed
them In good faith and the knowledge
contained in them probably was what
was limited at early in the week as some
