Shameful.

The Arbeiter Zeitung of Chicago, the organ Of
the anarchists, heads its report of the verdict
with the word Shameful !" and comments upon
the action of the jury as follows:
"The verdict was presented TO Judge Gary by
Osborn, the foreman of the jury. The ours
(Sptzel who were scattered among the crowd
on the street broke into hurrah upon the an
nouncement of the verdict: but the Judge be-
came quite pale, for he himself had not ex-
pected such a result Grinnell had evidently
expected it. Presumably he had his grounds
therefor Marshall Field and people of his ilk
have plenty OF money-unnaturally much of il.
What do the people say 20 the verdict? They
hold 10 rs an impossible a an incredible one.
We ourselves would not believe the first an
nOuncement, but at last we had to recognize it
as n reality. Captain Black Immediately
entered n motion for new trial; Grinnell made
no objection thereto, and Judge Gary will take
the motion into consideration u. :. next
session Of the court in September. kssu he
refuse to entertain the motion then .nore re-
mains but one thing more-an appeal. We are
too much agitated ourselves to be able TO say
anything more to-day"

a reporter Of Spies.

The verdict does not surprise anyone who has
read history. The verdict is given by monopoly F;
it is directed against organized labor"
What will be its efect?'
"In their blindness the Fields, McCormicks,
Farwells, the great corporations etc, imagine
that the modern labor movement is the work of
a small number OF individuals. BY hanging
them they believe they hang the movement and
all that this implies. That these men SIM

explain this? Go over the pages OF history and

your confederates continuef'
"Pompadour's dpres nous le delUge' is likewise
the motto OF the monopolistic hyena of to-day.
The deluge may come sooner than expected. 1t

events. But 1 will not prophesy. Prophets

How does the verdict, in your opinion, affect
the wage-workers2'
THE wage-workers of this country-a great
part of them. ut least-are not yet conscious OF
the real import OF our trial and sentence. They
will be soon. Just let them once understand
what this means Only let them understand.
History, the logic of events was on trial in Cook
County, Illinois. A jury has found it guilty and
sentenced it to death And still it moves! A
funny world isn't it."
PARSONS.
What is your opinion OF the verdict?'
1T Is judicial murder; it gladdens the hearts
OF tyrants from Chicago to st. Petersburg.
will you make any further effort to regain
your liberty?"
"Of course We intend to carry the case to
the United States Supreme Court, fight il out,
and demonstrate whether or not the Constitu-
ton OF the United States Is worth the paper il
is written on in its guaranteeing Of the right Of
the people TO free speech, free press, and UNI
molested assembly"
Don't YOU think the verdict is severe?'
1T is outrageous, unprecedented, and in vio
lation of every constitutional privilege which
guarantees the right OF unmolested assemblage
free speech, and a free press.

The Prisoners in "NIurderers' Row"

AS the eight condemned men walked in
single file back over the iron pathway-~the
bridge OF signs shat leads from the court
room to the Jail, there was general movement
toward the Jail building Of relatives attorneys,
reporters, and others They found every pas
sage-way blocked by Deputy Sheriffs. NO

mand. The mother and sister of Spies were
among tho first who were stopped as they at
tempted to enter the jail court. Fifteen min
utes later the four attorneys for the defend
ants We're permitted to pass into the jail.
Passing through the Jail Office Jailer FolZ swung
open the heavy door which admitted 70 the inner
court. Six OF the prisoners stood in the wire
cage to the right. Parsons and Spies We're not
there. They had already been taken to their
cells. Bring the other men back" said the
jailer to his assistant, "the lawyers want to
them" As the four lawyers were admitted TO
the wire-rOom on one side, the two missing pris-
oners were returned by the door ON the opposite
side. Spies came in in his shirt sleeves with a
smile on his face and n cigar in his teeth.
We'll, it is ended" he remarked. You
lawyers did your best. OF course none of us
pected this verdict" Parsons also wore n smile,
but it was apparent that it was forced, and for
time he talked but little and seemed 70 listen to
the words Of first one attorney and then another
to see If perchance there was anything 20 hang
a hope on. He had evidently lost that boldness
which marked him as he walked voluntarily to

Mr.. Grinnell his assistants, Messrs. hgham,
Walker, and Furthman, Mr.. Foster, and In
spector Bonheld sat in the formers Office chat
ting an hour after the verdict was rendered.
II feel very sorry for the jurors, said Mr..
Foster impressively IF the day ever comes
that the ropes are placed about the necks OF
these prisoners the members of the jury will
not be out of danger. have urged the prison
ers TO have all their friends exercise their influ
ence against violence between now and the end
of the case.
Il want TO say" interposed Inspector Bonfeld,
that if any violence is done by the friends of
these men, that the lamp-posts of Chicago will
bear fruit. In my opinion the police will be
powerless to quell the popular rage, and public
vengeance will be summarily wreaked upon all
the friends and pronounced sympathizers of

Four Thousand Dollars Raised for tho
Defense.

Miss Margaret Spies cheerfulness was
remarkable, and many inquired why her
face was so wreathed with smiles. She was
very wary Of any approach by detectives or re-
porters. She was finally asked by n reporter:
do you think your brother will suffer on the
scaffold?" She laughed charmingly, and re-
piled:
why, certainly not. There is too much
money behind them"
In the evening there was meeting OF all the
female relatives OF the sentenced anarchists.
They were REINFORCED by men from all parts Of
the city, and Miss Spies subsequently said that
over $4,000 was subscribed to the fund to carry
the case TO the Supreme Court.

MIR. Grinnell Congratulated.

States Attorney Grinnell has gone through

Daily Netos. He has lost nearly twenty pounds
since the trial began. Yesterday, after all was
over, he looked thin and exhausted, but all day
long was shaking hands with friends. He said !:
II am satisfied. 1t is great victory. IL is not
a victory for Grinnell, but for the whole people
for the law" To-day Mr.. Grinnell and his
family will leave for an Eastern vacation. They
will visit Northern New York, where Mr.. Grin

Attorney has completely recovered his health.
He has received many kilograms congratulating

After nine days OF speech-making, and fifty
two days Of consideration, the case against the
anarchist prisoners was submitted to the jury
on Thursday afternoon. Capt. William T..
Black made the closing speech for tho defense.
He occupied ten hours time, and his plea was
an able, eloquent, and ingenious one. Unfor-
tunately for him and his clients. he was follow
ed by Hon. julius Grinnell, the State Attorney,
who is conceded to have made by far
the greatest effort OF his life. From
his opening 10 his closing words he
was eloquent logical, and forceful. His adj

1t is the opinion OF the bailifs that the jurors
had agreed, practically, before the arguments
were made IL was only the statement Of Mr.
