THE ANARCHISTS FOUND GUILTY.

! ing, some applying for admittance early
 as 7 o'clock, in anticipation of the verdict in
 the case of the anarchists. Very few were
 admitted, however, among these being Mrs.
 Spies, Mrs. Parsons, Neebe's wife, Lingg's
 sweetheart, August Spies sister and brother
 Ferdinand, Mrs. Ames, General Parsons, Spies mother and half dozen others who
 have been regular attendants at the trial
 Promptly at 9:56 court was opened and the l prisoners were brought in. The names of l the jury were called amid an oppressive | silence Parsons looked straight ahead to | the place where his brother, the general was
 standing. He then turned and looked into 1 the street, where under the burning l thousand men and women gazed anxiously ! at the upper window. Parsons glanced around and with bold, defiant look in his eyes pulled something from his pocket. It l proved to be the battle flag of the anarchists, | 8 dirty red silk handkerchief Turning so ! that all in the street might see, but in such ! manner that the court could not, he waved ! it for moment or two. Some one in the street caught sight of it, and cheer was
 uttered but quickly stopped. When the people in the court room turned ! to ascertain the cause of the ! demonstration, Parsons sat stif1y
 in his chair and gazed vacantly at the clock. The others gazed anxiously into the faces of l the jury and friends and then up at the dig ] niaed judge as if in hope of gleaning some encouragement. The relatives and friends of the prisoners were the most affected. Over in the corner sat little old woman nearly hidden by big policeman. It was Ina onRh nf CrOino nd dr1rIn a half hour she in the court room she wept constantly, holding white handker chief to her eyes. Mrs. Parsons and General Parsons said nothing and betrayed no evil dence of the suspense that they must have experienced. Mrs. Parsons looked at her hus- band and once or twice opened her lips as If to speak. Lingg's sweetheart was next to her, and during the calling of the jurors names
 kept up a constant signalling with him. When the roll call was finished Judge Gary, in almost inaudible tones, asked Foreman
 Osborne, HHave you agreed on 8 verdict?"
 In answer the foreman gave the paper which
 he held to the clerk, who passed 1t to the judge. The judge and the clerk held a
 whispered conference and finally the clerk
 raised the paper where the light would fall
 on it and the judge bent forward and fixed
 his eyes on the spectators. The people were like marble figures; not a word or sign did
 they make, but their eyes merely shifted
 from the judge to the clerk. The latter then began reading slowly as follows:
 We find Spies, Parsons, Fielden, Schwab Fischer, ment lrleS and punishable by death We find Neebe guilty of manslaughter and fix his punishment at fifteen years in the penitentiary.
 The clerk then sat down by the judge and the foreman still remained standing. There was not a sound and for over minute peo pie seemed dumb stricken. Then there was a faint sob, low wailing moan. It came from the corner where the little old mother of Spies sat, and it was the signal for the outbreak of moaning which ran over the as- semblage. "Quick, everybody sit down." and the judges voice came clear and dis tinct. But even his authority could not pre- vent the expressions of surprise and outburst of pent-up feeling and the suppressed mur- mur of anguish that came from the friends of the condemned men. The un- fortunate defendants themselves said nothing Not even did they move | They only looked out into space. The judge ! was the first to make a move. Stepping to | the front he ordered that the jurors be poll | ed Each juror was then asked if the yer dict expressed his true conviction, and if he agreed in the verdict. In answer there came a firm but low q do." Then the judge | glanced for the first time at the prisoners | and their friends. He allowed his eyes to | rest for moment on the cringing form of the little old woman weeping. Then bring ing his eyes to the jury again he told them l they had done their work well. "You have listened attentively to the evidence given, | every detail, both for and | against the prisoners. Your close at sention and your verdict is an l expression of your convictions. This has | been long and tedious trial, but you have served we'll I thank you for your attention" The judge then in 8 few words discharged the jury and notified them they were at lib erty to go. The jury then rose and filed out of the room, and the bailiffs made their way &<& { o,Sl oE Nntn unYd escaped anyone of the eight. Their faces still wore the same vacant look, and as they rose from their seats and followed the bailiffs it was with slow and unsteady steps. As they reached the door Lingg turned and looked at his sweetheart, and his anguish was apparent by the tears in his eyes. AS her eyes met those of her lover tears burst out afresh. Grim Michael Schwab turned, and he was just in time to hear shriek from his wife and saw her fall against the seat. He made motion toward her, but collected himself. Then her utterances took the form of rawlings and she fell back in a dead faint. Restoratives were applied and when she regained consciousness again she resumed her cries. Some of her female friends quieted her, and even Judge Gary came down from the bench and looked pityingly after her. She was taken out of the room and oth- CTS followed. Mrs. Parsons did not seem very much agitated, though she bit her lips and looked at the judge with strained eyes as if to keep back the tears. Spies mother lay clinging to her daughters dress and tears gushed from her eyes freely. The other women also wept l and the crowd In the street stood aside in a respectful manner to let them pass. Judge | Gary came down shortly after and great many persons lifted their hats as he passed. | The court room was cleared and people went l away to their homes and work. The trial of 1 the reds was over. Before adj djourning Judge l Gary set the time for any motion by the de- | fense for next Thursday.
 During the excitement and general exulta- l tion upon the streets attendant upon the yer diet wooden legged paper vender on the corner of Washington and La Salle streets named Henry Bendixen, known as "Corky" remarked in loud tone that the jury ought to be hanged" Instantly the crowd put their pennies in their pockets and moved on the fellow in a threatening manner. From low growl the crowd gradually broke into howl and rushed upon the fellow with shouts of s'hang him" ''lynch him" etc. Officer c. J. Morris, of the Central detail broke through the excited crowd and rescued the fellow before violent hands were laid on him. He was taken to the Central office where with pale face and trembling voice he said he was testing. Nevertheless he was taken to cell amid the shouts of approval of number of the excited citizens. Mr. Grinnell his assistants Messrs. Ing ham, Walker and Furthman, Mr. Foster and Inspector Bonfeld. sat in the formers office chatting after tho verdict. 'I feel very sorry for the jurors," said MT. Foster inpressivey, | eff the day ever comes that the ropes are placed about the neckssof these prisoners the members of the jury will not be out of an- ger." Mir. Fosters assistants expressed sim liar views but Inspector Benfeld assured l them that prompt vengeance would be dealt out upon anyone attempting to harm the jurors. At the jail Parsons talked freely to ! reporters and denounced the judge, jury and witnesses. He said it was a victory of capital against labor. Mrs. Parsons advised him not to talk much. He said the thing not over yet Spies
 would onl, say that thsverdict meant war against the organizations of labor. Engel
