speakers had 10 say, as he had heard IN
conversation that the papers did not rep
resent the facts respecting this class OF
meetings fairly. The cross examination
OF Mr.. Simonson was continued until the

A DETECTIVES STORY.
A special dispatch from Boston, pub.
llshed here to-day, says Superintendent
Cornish, OF the PinkertOn Detective
Agency, furnishes local paper long
expose Of the secret workings of the an
arcnists of Chicago, which, ne says, have
been thoroughly explored by the Pinker-
ton force. Parsons, Superintendent Cor
nlsn says, was one OF the 1Tst to blossom
out as a red-hot anarchist be took spies
into his counsel. While in Greif's sa-
loon one night Cornish heard Mrs. Par
sons make violent speech In which she
advocated hurling bombs at the resi-
dences OF wealthy citizens OF Chicago.
SPIES PLAN.
Spies told them he had better plan,
which was as follows: Let every N ian arm
himself with little syringe, just large
enough 10 be concealed Ia the closed hand.
The point of the syringe should be as
small and fine as that Of a needle, so that
1t can easily penetrate the clothing and
/ skin. The bulb must be filed with Prus-
sic acid. Armed with this
| you can walk up alongside
| Of capitalist to be removed, quickly in
! sert the needle point into his flesh and at
/ the same time squeeze the bulb, sending
| Prussic acid into his veins. The victim
| would not mind the attack more than he
! would the prick OF pin, but the poison
/ would kill MIN in very few minutes and
| his death would be horrible one.
| QUIETLY EFFECTIVE.
He would not know, and if he did he
| could pot tell what had been done to him,
! and this ingenious scheme was greeted
! with aCclamations of approval and ap-
! plause by all who were present
! including Parsons, tieIden and
| Dusey. Cornish gives at consider
able length the history Of the various
| groups in the city. details experiments
/ with dynamite and gives the place OF
| meeting of each ofthe 10 regularly consti-
/ tuted groups, which on May were in ex-
| istence in Chicago and the town OF Lake,
| as well as OF the cigar makers revolu-
| tionary society and half dozen other or.
| CARNATIONS which he says are anarchist
| societies.
! THE CROSS EXAMINATION.
| Simonson's cross examination lasted
| an hour, and was searching. The defense
commenced the introduction of a long
| line Of witnesses to zorro oorate an en-
| tirely new theory in regard to the throw
/ ing of the bomb. 1t was sought to be
shown that the deadly missile came not
from the speakers wagon into the ranks
of the police, but arose perhaps thirty
feet south OF the wagon, and was hurled
| through the air in north westerly direc-
| ton, and therefore in a manner toward
| the speakers wagon.
Another novel feature was the offsetting
| of evidence TO prove that Spies was not
invited to the meeting on Black road, out
| of which grew the riot at McCOrmIck's,
which was made the occasion for the
Haymarket gathering. Spies, the de-
! tense claimed by witnesses, went there
on invitation OF a delegate of the Lum Der
| showers l Mon TO the Central La Dor Union,
OF which the Lumber showers organiza-
ton is part.
OTHER WITNESSES.
j. Ferguson was the next witness. He
was followed by 5. Zeller. Secretary of the
| Central Labor Union, and he by Carleygh-
ter and Fred Liebel. None Of these wit
nesses saw the crowd fire on the night of
the riot. The police did all the firing. While
they were not socialists Tor anarchists
| themselves, they had passing acquaInt-
ance with Spies, Parsons and other anar-
| chIsts.
