morning a few police paced back ant
forth in front OF the Criminal Court build
ing. "rhis 1t sentence day" said man!
on the streets as they hastened towart
the spot in the hopes Of entering til,
presence Of Judge Gary, and witnessing
the expected sensational scenes. Bu
only one in ten could get by the guard
at the outer door, and by 10 o'clock tht
disappointed ones formed quite an asaem
blage on tho corner and In front OF tht
Court House building, Inside the courl
room the yellow curtains were drawn and
tho brightness OF the N6utcr day shed {
sombre light on the assemblage.
AT ten o'clock the prisoners were In
their seats, They were not stolid and
indifferent rs so often before. A change
had come over some Of them, and they Ill
exhibited evidences OF great unConcern.
JUDGE uARY's DECISION.
Judge Gary, in delivering his decision
reviewed at considerable length the evil
denCe brought out at the trial, and said
concerning tho instructions to which OK.
Csptions were taken by the defense: "0n
the question OF instructions, whether the
defendants or any Of them did anticipate
or expect the throwing Of the bomb, on
the night Of the 4th Of May is not ques'
tlon which need to oonalder because in.
atruCtions did not 60 upon that ground.
The Jury was instructed to find them
guilty II Troy believed thRt they partiCl-
patOd in tho throwing Of the bomb, or en-
CouRged or advised the throwing OF that
bomb, or had knowledge that it was TO be
thrown, or anything Oi that sort. The
conviction was not given upon The ground
that they did have any actual particlpa.
ton in the act which caused the death OF
officer DeegRn, but upon the ground under
the Instructions that they had generally
by speech aud print advised large Clasa
to commit murder, and had lefs the oCcas,
ion, tins and placs to the individual will,
whin and caprice OF tho individuals 81
advised. And that in consequence oi
that advice and In pursuance Of 1t, and In
aueuced by it, somebody not known did
throw tho bomb that caused Deegan'i
death.
THE ORATORS GUILTY.
Now under these circumstance, in the
inaamed state Of the public mind at the
time, each olthese oratorsatthe Haymarket
was still moro iraamihg the public mine
when he advised the public to use force
and some mani tlo not say identified
~ NuI
wd,when the police approached, with .
bomb Of L'ngg's manufacture, killed
Deeean. All who have advised such &C.
ton arO guilty Of this murder,
II anything can bD proven by CirCum
stanLiaI evidence, that is proved; that ht
threw that bomb In consequence Of the
influence which these teachings advise BY
speech, and printing over course OF two
years that tho man who threw that bomt
had been educated up 10 It by the teach
inRs OF the defendants. The case, ag sale
before, Is unprecedented. There is no ex
ampls Of any such crime having beer
committed. There ia no precedent Of any
case like this having become the subject
Of judicial investigation, but tho principle
OF law Is we'll fixed.
The court thOn passed to the objections
urged against the form OF sentence anC
quoted from the One Hundred and Nintt
illinois on the point, and said there Wal
nothing in the circumstances Of this CasC
anything less than murder. The instruC
tions In regard 10 manBlaughter nigh
have been refused. There was no rcasor
for them at all.
Passing to the alleged disqualification o
tho jurors on account Of having read re
ports in papers Of the Crimo, and haylnl
formed opinions thereon, he thought th,
New York decisions settled the case ant
that II yerdiCts were to be set aside for tn
reasons urged II woulu be the surest wa!
10 bring about anarchy, for there would b,
no way In which the government Couldb
maintained aud the law administered
He concluded by saying:
VI think upon the whole the proof II
that no caso could be tried Of such mag
nituds Rs this with less In tho way Of ir
regularity Of proceeding than was done Ii
this case. The motion must be over
ruled"
ADDRESS TO THE PRISONERS.
The Court then addressed tho prisoner
as follows: "Phsorers at the bar. Fo
