I'm DEATH SENTENCES.


Parsons Bores the Crowd IN Court 9th
B@rangue Consuming Nearly Six
Hours in its DeIIvsry-December 3
Fixed as the Day for the Executions.
| CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-As the concluding
scenes of the great trial OF the anarchists
approach more interest is taken, and the
suppressed excitement becomes more
marked. Hundreds of people wendell
their way toward the Criminal Court
building this morning, each one DESTROYS
Of listening to the conclusion OF the
speech OF Anarchist Parsons, and with
the expectation of hearing the death sem
tence pronounced. Parsons resumed his
speech as soon as the court was opened.
He created something OF a sensation by
declaring in a verY dramatic and impress
slve manner that they had positive proof
that the bomb which created such de-
struction at the Haymarket was thrown
by an agent OF New York capitalists and
monopOlists, who sent a man out here to
| take this means of breaking up the eight
hour movement.
LOSG-wINDED ARGUMENT.
Parsons spoke continuously for five
| hours ana forty minutes and finally sank
into bis seat exhausted. His speech was
in the main argumentatiye and was very
wearlsome to the auditors.
| Judge Gary was about to pronounce SEN
| tence when Capt. Black desired that
motion in arrest of judgment should be
entered.
Mr.. Grinnell having assured him that
! no merely technical matters should inter-
! fere with the defendants right, the court
! process ded to execute the solemn duty
/ ~Tlw l.
| pressiye words. and in tones which at any
time would have commanded respectful
attention. the Judge gave fitting express
sion to the Judgment of the court. The
Judge said:
REPLYING TO THE SPEECHES.
81 am quite well aware that what you
| have said, although addressed to me, has
| been SAID 10 the world, yet nothing has
been said which weakens the force of the
| proof or conclusions theretrom upon
which the verdict is based. You are al
men of intelligence, and know that as the
| verdict stands it must be executed. The
reasons why it shall stand have already
sufficiently stated in deciding the motion
for new trial. am sorry beyond my
power of expression for your unhappy
condition, and for the terrible events that
have brought it about. l shall address
you neither reproach nor exhOrtation.
| THE AIM OF HIS REMARKS.
"What | shall say shall be in the faint
hope that few words from the place
where the people of the State of Illinois
have delegated authority declared the
penalty of violation of their laws, and
spoken upon an occasion so solemn and
awful as this, may come to the knowledge
OF and be needed by ignorant, deluded and
misguided men, who have listened
to your counsels and followed your
advice. 1t is not the least
among the hardships OF the peaceable,
frugal and labOriOus poor to endure the
| tyranny OF mObs. who with lawless force
dictate to them under penalty of peril to
limb and life, where, when and upon what
terms they may earn livelihood for
themselves or their families.
DUTY OF GOVERNMENTS.
"Any government that ia worthy of the
name will strenuously endeavor to Sc
cure to all within it's jurisdiction Free
dom to follow lawful vocations and safety
Tor their property and their persons
| while obeying the law, and law
sponsible for the natural and probable
cons equences of his own acts. 1t holds
that whoever advises murder is himself
| guilty OF murder that is committed pur-
suant to his advice; and if men
band together for forcible resistance
&c, the execution of the law and
| advise murder as means OF
making such resistance etfectual, whether
| such advice be to one man to murder an
other or to a numerous class to murder
men OF another class, all who are 80
banded together are guilty of any murder
that is committed in pursuance of such
advice.
POWER OF THE PEOPLE.
"The people OF this country have their
| institutions, they love their homes, they
love their property. They will never con-
sent that by violence and murder those
| Institutions shall be broken down, their
homes despoiled and their property de-
strOyed, and the people are strong enough
to protect and sustain their institutions,
and to punish all offenders affainst their
laws and those who threaten danger
to civil society If the law is enforced, are
| leading to destruction whoever may at
tempt to execute such threats. The ex-
listing order of society can be changed
only by the will OF the majority. Each
man has a right to entertain and advo-
cate by speech and print such
opinions as suit himself and
the great body of the people will
usually care little what he says; but if he
proposes murder ae means of enforcing
them he puts his own life at stake, and no
clamor about free speech, or evils to be
| shield him from the consequences of his
crime. His liberty is not license to
destroy.
ToLERATIoN NOT FOR FEW.
"The liberation that he enjoys he must
extend to others, and not arrogantly as
sumo that the great majority are wrong
and may rightfully be cOerced by terror
or removed by dynamite. 1t only remains
that for the crime you have committed.
and of which you have been convicted
after trial unexampled in the patience
| with which the outraged people
have extended TO you every protection
| and privilege of the law which you de-
| rided and defied. That tire sentence of
that law be now given in form and de-
tail That sentence will appear upon
the records OF the court. In sub
stance and effect it Is that
defendant Neebe be imprisoned
in the State prison at Joliet for a term OF
nftaan yaora and that poch Of tho othar
