MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 9.--At a largely
attended meeting last night Robert
Schilling, state organizer OF the knights
OF Labor, denounced the proposed exc.
cution Of the Chicago anarchists as an
outrage as Infamous as the hanging OF
John Brown. He said he did not believe in
anarchism, but sympathzed with the
socialists. The sentiment was received
with uproarous applause from these
present, AMONG whom were many knights
OF Labor.
FREEDOM or sLANpER.
CHICAGO, It'll, Oct, 9,--The Arbeiter
Zeitung Of yesterday, after saying Il was
TO be expected that Judge Gary would re-
fuse the motion for new trial, says
"The first act OF the play ended August
20, when Jury consisting Of oapltalistie
hlrelings declared the defendants guilty
The second act came TO an end Yesterday,
when the puppet in the Judges chair re-.
fused the just demands Of the defense and
set the day of execution. How many acts
are TO conner How are they TO endY We
cannot say. Shall we waste words
on the partisan conduct Of the trial,
which violated every idea OF right and
jnstlceg Shall we speak OF the witnesses
who were terror2ed, abused by the 20.
lice and purchased Shall we say that
the state had not at least proof that our
associates had anything to do with the
bomb-.hrowlng3 What would be the use
OF it9 The money-sack outranked labor
In court. That tells the whole story.
No, we will not waste words on the mon-
stfosity of this most shocking OF all
trials, but what we will do
Is TO turn TO you, the working,
struggling, hungeiing protectorate. We
call on you TO be united and
courageous In this bitter struggle, and to
hate and condemn the existing Justice
and tyranny. Take heart, you mon and
women OF the peoplel Lay aside all lit
tie things, all which can hurt and are I'M
worthy Of our great cause Shake off the
old alarm Of petty squabbles and OF de-
lay. Be men, be heroihesl Think Of
our convicted associates, think OF those
great and noble men whose blood has
flowed for the freedom and welfare OF
mankind, and this will give you courage.n
NO WONDER BIEI.DEN WAS BITTER.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. GA daughter was
born In West Polk street yesterday at the
same hour that its father Samuel
Fielden, in Judge Gary's court, began
giving reasons why sentence OF death
should not be passed upon him, but few
who listened to Flelden's plea guessed
the cause OF added bitterness In his bitter
speech. Knowledge OF the scene being
enacted at his little home made his bur.
den harder 70 bear. The mother ..Ss
heart-broken at the thought OF the i'm.
probability OF her newborn ever seeing
It's father.
PARSONS STARTLING STATEMENT,
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 9,---As the conclud.
ing scenes Of the great trial OF the anaI-
chists approach a close more interest is
taken, and the suppressed excitement be-
comes more marked, Hundreds
OF people wended their way
toward the criminal court building,
each one desirous Of listening to the con
GLIDING speech OF Anarchist Parsons, and
with the expectation Of hearing the death
sentence pronounced, Parsons resumed
his speech as soon as court opened,
and created something Of sensation
by declaring In very dramatic and iln-
prcssive manner that they had positive
proof that the bomb which created such
destruction at the IIaymarket
was thro gn by nn agent OF
New York capitalist and monopolist
who sent a man out here to take this
means OF breaking up the eight honr
movement. As proof OF his assertion
that there was great conspiracy
on the part OF capital against labor,
Parsons quoted the expressions OF three
senators on the floor Of the United States
senate, In which all agreed on the following
theory There Is a conspiracy 10 increase
the value Of the dollar and
decrease the value OF labor
the world over. Parsons claimed again
aLaNt ts.a l. all -
tins OF this conspiracy. lie asked: What
edy, your honor2 Mayor Har-
rison has caused to be pub.
llshed his opinion as 10 the matter
Of conjecture in the New York World, In !
which he saysi 81 do not believe there
WAS any intent on the part OF Spies and |
those men 10 have bombs thrown ut the |
Hsymarket II they had, why was there
but one thrownf IL was us easy 10 |
have had q dozen or fifty, to have them |
thrown In all parts OF the city, as 10 /
throw one; and again, II II was intended !
TO throw the bombs that night the leaders
would not have been there ut all, but, Ia |
my opinion, like commanders Ia |
chief, would have been In D safe place.
No, II can't be shown that there was any |
intention on the part OF those individuals |
to have that act perpetrated at that par
ticular meeting"
Now, your honor, this Is the mayor OF
Chicago. He is sensible man. He Is In |
position TO know what he 10 talking |
about He ought 10 be able 10 form |
an Intelligent opinion and one that is
worthy Of respect Tie knows more
about this than the jury / suspect that
the mayor knows more about the methods
by which this evidence aud this testi-
mony has been manufactured. Your honor,
there is too much at stake 70 take
anything for granted. Mayor Harrison
thinks 10, and your honor, too, should
not destroy seven lives as source OF
light amusement.
Parsons maintained that American
troops were justified IN bearing arms, that
the constitution gave them thai right, but
that the question was not raised. SO far
as Parsons was concerned, II was not
sought 10 prove that he was
the law while member
Of this organization. Judge McAllister
had held that the police could not invade
their meetings without legal process, bit
the police Ia 1877 did break into Turner
hall, on Twelfth street, during meeting
Of furniture workers, which was
being held and Killed one man, and Judge
McAllister said that II every policeman In
The crowd we're killed those participating r
