CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-There were num-
,sr of rumors afloat this morning about
tho i,rv in the anarchists case, but there
rse no means Of accurately determining
| aov of these rumors, and until the verdict
vas given at 10 O'Clock no absolute cre-
dorce could be given to any of them. The
Twelve iurymen remained in their rooms
t the Revere House, just across the
street from the Criminal Court room.
| lbout this building were large number
dpolice. to prevent any attempt to break
in upon the privacy of the jury. In front
Of the main entrance to the court house
were thirty police, and three lines of po-
. lice and court bailitfs had to be encoun-
/ tered before any one could approach the
/ court room. At O'Clock there were
/ twenty police in uniform in the court
1 room and several press representatives.
ARRIVAL OF RELATIVES.
The court officials decided that rela-
4 fiyes of the prisoners should be allowed
4 in the court room, and at 9:l5 O'Clock
sister OF Spies, with another young
womap, made her appearance. She moved
AZ though che would proceed to close
proximity OF the chairs heretofore occu-
Eoled by the prisoners, but was mOtioned
70 seat on the opposite side of the court
4 room in the rear of the line of police OIL
/ GERS, thus indicating that the prisoners
/ were not to be surrounded by their ad-
/ |users Shortly afterward the mother OF
/ Spies, accompanied by her younger SOD.
|also entered the court room and took
seat on the back benches. The jury left
| heir hotel at 9:l6 O'Clock, and, under the
| Guidance of ten bailiffs, took their way to
+ the court house, and were conducted to
|another room Immediately adjoining the
main court room.
MRS. PARSONS UNDER GUARD.
At 9:2O O'Clock Mrs. Parsons entered
he court room with her reticule, accom-
panied by a woman who has attended her
EhroughOut the trial. She was given
heat between two policemen and with
/two policemen Immediately in her rear
XWhether this precaution was to guard
Xagsust any extraordinary exploit in the
court room or not of course is not known,
but the seat accorded the female anarch-
lat was deemed significant. By $3.50
o'clock the crowd in the court room num-
tered about 100, but was still composed,
H., Al. Of M
O police, court bailiffs and press repre-
sentatiyes.
Mrs. Black, wife of the chief counsel
tOr the prisoners, who has been in the
court room daily, proceeded to take her
mer seat near the prisoners, but was
kNuested to take a seat on the opposite
kde Of the court room.
TOOK IT COOLLY.
Mrs. Black remarked to a newspaper
reporter as she laid down her package of
teTspapers: "Well, they say it has all
zone against our men. They take it very
Tel, though; they seem to expect it,"
The Sheriff refused to allow any one to
the prisoners, and no one had been
amitted to enter the jail since the case
Fs given to the jury. The tremendous
nlerest taken in the outcome of the trial
ai the finding OF the jury was illustrated
the crowd which gathered in front OF
be court house to await the announce
llt Nearly. two thousand people gath
RED on Michigan street in front OF the
balm entrance to the building gazing up
The windows.
Judge Gary arrived at 9:47 O'Clock. AL
l@t at the same moment Capt. Black
"a Mr.. Zeisler, completing the quartette
The detendants' counsel, arrived. Capt.
ack remarked TO his wife when he en-
led 81 have just had talk with the
soners. They have seen the papers and
now what the probable outcome is."
WILL LAUGH AT DEATH.
They will laugh at DEATH" said the
0rney, with half tragic air, He de-
sIed they would show no excitement.
lHe number OF attorneys were allowed
come within the railing, which served
ave the room a somewhat more
Vded appearance. The prisoners
ee brought into the court room at 9:52
cock and were seated at the northeast
fler Of the court room on some side
enches.
ae court was called to order at 9:54
VOCh. The prisoners were not Observa-
10 the eyes of but very few in the
UT room. They presented about the
sun appearance, though Spies aud
%uer looked deathly pale. The jury
INed at 9:55 o'clock. There was i'm
'sNe silence as they filed in. When
july appeared Judge Gary enjoined
"Oute silence.
