pairing to leave the city.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon a large
force OF police was gathered at the
Chicago Avenue police station under
the command of Capt. Setback, and O.
little later Chief Ebersold arrived. It
Is current rumor around town that
the police have a list containing
the names OF nearly 800 men
who were engaged in the Anarchist
conspiracy, and that wholesale arrests
will henceforth be the order. 1t is re-
ported that the names of Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and Mrs. Lizzie Holmes are
among those for whom warrants have
been issued charging them with con-
spiracy.
A news man and bootblack known
as "Corkey," who has been a familiar
figure at the corner of Washington and
Lasalle Streets, and who, it is ex-
/ planned, has been blacking the boots
of one of the counsel for the defense,
kept crying out, this morning sThe
jury is no good" "I'll throw g. bomb
into the courthouse" was arrested
by policeman during one of his
flights and taken to the station. The
man was intoxicated.
TALKS WITH THE CONDEMNED.
After they had remained In the
''cage" nearly two hours, Fischer at
first impatiently said to report
er, "No, [ have nothing to say"
Then, as he again came back to the
bars, he leaned upon the table placed
there and said: "You can say that this
only begins the fight against the sys-
TEN. 1t is the birth of anarchy"
Neebe, upon being asked if the ver-
said be didn't know whether it was OF.
not. He had not asked them, and
they had not expressed them
selves to him on the sub
iect. This question, SO far as the
leaders were concerned, was just then
answered, for Spies and Parsons we're
brought down and taken into the
'scage" with the others. where Black,
Foster, Solomon and Zeisler, the at
torneys for the defense, had been
shown. Spies, as he shook hands with
Capt. Black, said: "Gentlemen, we
did not expect it." Parsons wore his
coat and his soft SLOUGH hat, but was al
most equally calm. The twain consult
ed with Black and Foster, while Neebe,
Fielden and Lingg lowered at their
elbows. Solomon, in another corner,
talked with gaunt, wretched looking
| Schwab, who, with his lank
physique, unkempt beard, staring spec
tacled eyes and battered slouched hat,
presented the ideal appearance of a.
demoralized convict. Engel ana
| Fischer were being talked to by Attor-
| ney Zelsler who grew decidedly en-
phatic and expressed himself in lam
guage which sounded strangely like
sympathy for the Anarchist cause.
GENERAL NOTES.
During thereading of the verdict the
prisoners wer5 completely hidden from
the view Of every one in the court
room, a Gordon of police completely
surrounding them and whatever im-
mediate effect the reading of the ve1-
| dict had upon them could not be dis
cerned. The precautions OF the police
were apparently directed SO az to
guard against any demonstration by
| the prisoners or their friends of any
character whatever,
| All the relatives and personal
| friends of the condemned Anarchists
! Immediately left the courtroom after
| the swooning of Mrs. Schwab, with
| the exception of Mrs. Parsons and
her female companion, who, after
leaving the courtroom, returned and
seated themselves by Gen. w. H. Par
sons, of Texas, a brother Of one Of
the condemned. The trio discussed
the outcome among themselves, and
dwelt upon the possibility of a. re-
versal of the verdict by the supreme
court.
The jury, after receiving their pay,
were driven away in carriages TO
escape the lingering crowds outside the
Jail.
Mr.. Zeisler, of counsel for the de-
tense, said that he believed the YER
dict was against anarchy and not
the Anarchists on trial" Hethought
the verdict was great surprise to
States Attorney Grinnell himself.
Opinions at New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The verdict OF
| the jury in the case of the Chicago
Anarchists is universally commended
| in this city. The Evening Post says:
The Importance of this result can scarcely
be overestimated. 1t is a formal notifca.
| ton to all Anarchists in this country and
out of it, than they cannot carry on theig
Infamous trade any more sefely in America
than they can at home. If Spies, Fielden,
Parsons, Lingg, Schwab, Engel and Fisch>r
are hanged, as they in all proba bil;ty will
be- their fate will be pretty certain to put
an end to the business of throwing bombs
in this country. All Anarchists are no.
toriously towards, and the dissemination
of the intelligence that the practice OF an
| archy in the United States leads swiftly to
the gallows will have q very depressing ef-
feet upon the profession. The nationality
OF the Chicago criminals is sufficiently va
ried to carry the lesson home to more than
one country. Fielder is an Englishman,
