rlngs,
CHIcAao, August IA special dispatch
from Boston, Mass, says: Superintendent
Cornish, 1.-THE Plnkerton Detective Agsn'
cy, Furnished a long expose Of the ssereI
wofting Of the Anarchists Of Chicago
which, he says, have been thoroughly ex'
plored by the Pinkerton force. Parsons,
Mr.. Cornish says, was one Of the first Ia
blossom out as a red-hot Anarchist. He
soon took Spies into his council, While
In Grieps saloon, one night, Cornish heard
Mrs, Parsons make violent speech, In
which she advocated hurting bombs at
the residences Of wealthy citizens Of
Chicago,
Spies told them that he had better
plan, which was as follows: "Lst every
man arm himself with little syringe, Just
large enough to be concealed In the closed
hand. The point OF the syringe should be
just as small and fine as that OF needle,
90 that 1t can easily penetrate clothing
and skin. The bulb Of the syringe must
be filled with prusslC acid, and then II is
already for business. Armed with this
you can walk up alongside OF the capital.
ist to be removed, quickly insert the
needle point through his clothes and into
his flesh, and at the same time squeeze
the bulb, sending the prusBiC acid into bis
veins. The victim would not mind the
attack any more than he wonld notice q
slight prick Of a pin or the bite of flea,
but the poison would kill him in very
few minutes, and his death would bs a
horrible one. He would not know, and
II he did he could not tell, what had been
dOno to him,
This ingenious death.dealiug scheme
was greeted with aCclamations OF approval
and applause by oil who were present, in.
Guiding Parsons, Fielden, and q man
named Dusny.
Cornish gives at considerable length the
history OF the various Groups Of Socialists
In the city, details the experiments with
dynamite which were made by Spies,
Schwab and Fischer, the establishment OF
the Alarm at Parsons' suggestion, and
then gives the place Of meeting Of each OF
the thirteen regularly constituted Groups
which on May 4 we're in existence In CHI.
cago and tho town Of Lake, as we'll as oil
the Cigar Makers Revolutionary Society,
and half dozen other organizations
which, hO Pays, are Anarchist societies."

speaking some one said, "Let US adjourn
to . hall" Fielden told them he was
nearly through.
About this time the witness saw the
police approaching, He heard some one
warn the crowd to disperss. Some one
on the wagon said; "This is a psaceable
meeting" The bomb exploded within a
second or two aiterwRrd, The witness did
not hear anyone exclaim "Hsre come the
police bloodhouuds," or any exclamation
Of that kind, He heard no pistol shots
prior to the explosion Of the bomb, The
witness cav the bomb thrown. The man
who threw the bomb was standing behind
some boxes, near the sidewalk. about
twenty feet south Of the alley, He was
positive that 1t was not thrown from the
alley, Immediately alter the explosion
Of the bomb, there was pistol firing The
firing came from the police first after the
explosion, The witness joined the crowd
at the foot Of the stairway and ran west on
Randolph street.
