ney looked at the witness for moment with
out any further questioning, and then al
lowed him to go. Officer Martin Quinn was
then called TO the stand. He testified that
three or four days after the Haymarket riot
he went to the house of Engel and discovered

SORT OF CRUCIBLE
made of heavy sheet-iron. Engel said the
machine had been brought to his house some
weeks before by man, who said it was to be
used for melting material used in the manu-
facture OF bombs. Engel said he told the
man it could be used for no such purpose in
his house. The man placed it in the base
ment, however, and went away. The crucible
was brought into court and created consider

high, on three strap-iron legs, and three or

not look as though it had ever been exposed
to sufficient heat to melt lead. The crucible
was closely inspected by the defense. and IN
spector Bonfield was called. He said the
crucible had been brought to him from
EngePs house. "You have worked at the
trade of mechanic, have you not?' asked
the states attorney, 'Yes sir.'' 'Then tell
the jury. if you can, to what use apparatus
like that before you can be put" The objec-
lions OF the defense were overruled and the
inspector explained that the apparatus was
small blast furnace of the kind ordinarily
USED IN SMELLING METALS.
The fire-clay and some other details necessary
in putting the apparatus to that use had
not been brought into court. Capt. Black,
for the defense, endeavored to show that In
Spector Bonfield's testimony as an expert was
faulty and that the apparatus could not be
used for the purpose named. The state
promptly called Louis Mullendorf, who said
he was tinsmith, and swore that ne had
made the apparatus, or the principal part of
1t. for Engel, who took it away when it was
finished. The cross-examination was short
and did not affect the testimony, though the
defense plainly intended that the jury should
see in the witness only the family tinsmith of
Engel, who had made him han mless cylinder
OF sheet-iron which might have been used for
adozen ordinary purposes. The next witness
was Officer Herman Schuetler. He
TOLD THRILLING STORY
of his arrest of Lingg, and identified a trunk
marked IL. t. which, with its contents, was
found at the house where Llngg was arrested.
Among the contents were a large navy re-
volver, an iron ladle and other iron imple-
ments. The desperate character of Lingg
was very closely illustrated by the testimony
of Officer Schuetler. "When Lingg discov-
cred that was after him., said the witness,
''he drew big navy revolver. Igrasped the
weapon and we cinched aud fell to the floor
together. We struggled together till another
officer came to my assistance and we finally
got him handcuffed." Ibid Lingg say any
thing when you had secured himr' asked Mr..
Grinnel. "Yes, he was very violent and said
shoot me, kill me, or Tn shoot myself -
Officer Jacob Lowenstein who came to the aid
OF Schuetler corroborated the testimony eff
his brother officer and identified the contents
of another trunk found in the house where
Lingg was arrested. There were quantity
of bolts and nuts, four bombs and some pieces
OF fuse. Several other bombs and some more
bolts and nuts were found behind base
board in L1nggs room. The uneventful cross
examination of this witness finished the days
proceedings. $50,
