in the First Degree.
CHICAGO, ILL, August 2O.-In the anar-
chists case the verdict of the jury is, all
guilty of murder, and the sentence death,
except Neebe, who has been given fifteen
years.
At9a. m. there were twenty police in uni
form in the court room, and several repre-
sentatives of the press. The court officials
decided that relatives of the prisoners should
be allowed in the court room, and at is the
sister of Spies with another young woman
made her appearance. She moved as though
she would proceed to the close proximity of
the chairs heretofore occupied by the pris-
oners, but was motioned to a seat on the op-
posite side of the court room in the rear line
of the police officers, which indicated that
the prisoners we're not to be surrounded by
the mother of Spies, accompanied by a
younger son, also entered the room and took
a seat on a back bench. The jury left their
hotel at 9 O'Clock and took their way to the
court house. They were conducted to an
inner room Immediately adjoining the main
court room. Court was called to order at
1854. The prisoners were observable to the
eyes of but very few in the court room.
They presented about the usual appearance,
though Spies and Fischer looked deathly
pale. The jury arrived at Obs. There was
an impressive silence as they fled in. When
the jury appeared Judge Garry enjoined ab-
solute silence. There was a whispered con-
sultation between the Judge and clerk,
when the verdict as follows was read:
"We, the jury, find the defendants, August
Spies, Michael Schwab Samuel Fielden,
A. B. Parsons, Adolph Fisher, George Eneel,
Louis Lingg' guilty of murder as charged in
the Indictment. and fx the penalty at death.

guilty of murder in the manner and form a.
charged in the indictment and fix the penalty

The number of "white lies told by
those who are supposed to be truthful
is remarkable. They simply excuse
themselves on the ground of didn't
think.
1t is amusing to see some people try
to tell the truth. They give a slight
cough and clear their threats. Then
they draw a long breath, there is a
twinkle in the eyes, their cheeks color
and they stammer because they are
afraid they will get everything exactly
correct. Old offenders are not easily
caught. Indeed some become so insensi-
BILE to the difference between truth and
falsehood having told a false once that
they believe the false account to be the
true one and the true the false one.

The following story is told as an
actual fact, and it is warranted not to be
exaggerated:
An old minister who was noted for ex-
aggeration at all times and in every con-
ceivable manner was one day called to
account by his little flock. A committee
appointed and properly credentialed
waited upon the man of unguided and
unchecked simplifying ability to solicit

watchful of his weakness In that one
respect. In answer, denoting true peni-
tence for the wrong already committed,
he said with tears in his eyes, II have
shed bar'ls and bar'ls of tears over that
bad habit"

entry of Michael Davitt, and again wild
cheering when the presence of Mrs. Parnell
was recognized. She was given seat in
the center OF the stage IN the first row OF
seats. As if the appearance of the mother

convention, the delegates and spectators at
once began crowding into the hall. None
we're admitted without ticket. Only the
second gallery and the top tier of private
boxes were available for those other than
delegates. A green badge with gold fringe
was pinned on the lapel of every delegate as
he entered. While the members of the con-
vention were taking their places Mrs. Par
nell, plainly attired in a we'll fitting black
silk dress, with handsome white fichue
crossed over her breast, and her matronly
head surmOunted with q small bonnet of
light blue satin, sat quietly conversing with
group of ladies at her side. At 3 O'Clock
none of the officers or members of the league
had yet put in an appearance, and the dele
gates were beginning to manifest symptoms

gallery played with redoubled energy. the

themselves hoarse when Michael Davitt,
leaning on the arm of Patrick Egan, and
followed by the remaining Irish delegates
and other officers of the National league,
entered the hall. Judge James b. Fitzger-

chairman and after appointing committee

By special dispatch to the Ell Paso Times
it is just learned that the second chamJer of
the supreme tribunal of Chihuahua took up
the case of A. K. Cutting, and after viewing
the entire evidence the argument began.
This did not last long. The attorneys had
previously come to an agreement that the
two months imprisonment already suffered
by Cutting I've considered complete punish
ment of his crime. This makes it certain
beyond doubt that the sentence which fol-
lows shortly will conform to this agreement.
The case was heard within closed doors.
he court holds both Judge Castensda and
Judge Subia exactly right in trying and SEN
fencing Cutting, but, under the circum-
stances, the court thinkshe has now, by two
months confinement, suffered enough, and
will order bis release, to take effect probably
BY Tuesday or Wednesday of next week
The $500 fine will al.o be RENTED. The
