fDF a NepV skirtal.

CHICAGO, Oct Judge Gary, in the
criminal court, this morning, uyatruled |
the motion for new trial IN the case of
the eight Anarchists, charged with the /
Haymarket massacre, and confirmed The |
verdict Of the Jury that Spies, Parsons,
Fielden, Sehwab, Ergel, Fischer, aud
Iingg should be hanged, and that Neebe |
should suffer Imprisonment lOr 10 yeats |
in the state penitentiary. Judge Gary, in |
delivering his decision, reviewed at con
siderable length the evidence brought out |
ut the trihl, and said concerning the in
structions to which exception was taken
by the defence:
's0n the question of the instructions
whether these defendants or any of them
did anticipate or expect the throwing OF
the bomb on the night of the 18th of May
is not question which l need TO con-
slider, because the instructions did not go
upon that ground. The jury were not in
structed TO find them guilty IL they be-
lieved that they participated inthe throw
ing of tho bomb, or encouraged or
| advised the throwing of that
bomb, or had knowledge that it was
| to be thrown, or anything of that
sort, The conviction has not gone upon
| tho GROUND that they did have any actual
participation in the act which caused the
death of Decgan, but upon the ground,
under the instructions, that they had gen
| orally, by speech and print, advised a
large class 10 commit murder, aud had
| loft the occasion, time and place to the
! individual will wbim, and caprice of the
| individuals SO advised md that in con-
sequence Of that advice, and III pursuance
Of il and il,fiu uced by it, somebody not

people TO use force and some mani do

man in that crowd, when the police ap-
preached, with bomb of hingg's manu-
facture kills Deegnn all who have ad-
yised such action are guilty of his muir
, der If anything can be proved by cir
cumstantial evidence, that is proved +;
, that he threw that bomb in consequences
of the influence which these teachings,
; this advice by speech and printing over o
course of two years; that the man who
threw that bomb had been educated up
to il by the teachings of these defendants,
The case, as | said before, il unprece-
! deuted. There is no example of any such
; crime having been committed; there il
! no precedent or any case like this having

5 The court then passed to the alleged
a disqualification of the jurors on accoun
3 of having read reports in the papers o
q the crime and having formed opinion
i thereon. He thought the New York de
b cisions settled the case and that if verdict
u were to be set aside for the reasons urge
r il would be the surest way to bring abou
= anarchy, for there would be no way il
= which government could be maintaine
i and the law administered. He concludes
d by saying II think upon the Who'll
# proof that no case could be tried of sue
magnitude as this with less in the way @
irregularity of proceeding in the iris
than was done in this case. The motto
must be overruled.n
The court having asked the prisoner
% whether they had anything to offer VIII
sentence should not be passed upon then
70 Spies stepped forward and read pre-
l. pared speech. Among other things b
+. said the execution of the verdict would /
st deliberate murder. They were conviete
a. by a packed jury, and he charged ii
er state attorney ard Mr.. Bonfield with col
u spiracy to commit murder. Continuin
