The clerk then sat down by the Judge and
the foreman still remained standing. There
was not sound, and for over a minute
peopls seemed to be dumb-stricken. Then
there was faint SODA low wailing moan.
1t came from the corner where the little old
mother Of Spies sat, and it was the signal
for the outbreak of murmurs which ran over
the assemblage.
''Quiet! Everybody sit down." and the
judges voice came clear and distinct. But
even his authority could not prevent the ex-
pressions of surprise and outburst of pent-
up feelings and the suppressed murmur of
anguish that came from the friends of the
condemned men. The unfortunate defend
ants themselves said nothing. Not even
did they move. They only looked-and
into space. 1t was as if all hope had gone
and now, for the first time, they knew their
lives had been failure.

THE VERDICT.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-There was breath
less attention when. the verdict which con-
demned seven of the Anarchists to hang
and gave the eighth fifteen years in the
penitentiary was announced yesterday.
This was succeeded by intense excitement
The prisoners were ranged along the wall
on the south side of the court room, hidden
from the public by a line of policemen.
Mrs. Schwab tainted, but no other demon
stratiOn was made.
The verdict was simply guilty as charged
in the case of August Spies, Lingg, Engel,
Parsons, Fielden, Schwab and Fischer, and
Neebe guilty of manslaughter, his sentence
being fifteen years in the penitentiary.
MIR. Black rose and moved for new trial.
Mr.. Grinnell objected to this being consid-
cred at this term. Judge Gary said that
such a motion was unnecessary at this time
in any case. He then thanked the jury and
said there would be no more business for
them this week. The prisoners were taken
back to Jail.
People tried to get into the Criminal
Court room as early as seven O. clock and
the first applicant was a woman, who be-
came very angry when refused admission.
She appealed to every one of the forty
officers gathered about, but they were trm
in their refusal and five hundred people
who applied between that time and nine
o'clock were given the same answer. Every
conceivable ruse was resorted to, but the
officers were ineXorable and when the YER
dict was brought in there were probably less
people in the court room than at any time
during the trial.
