INDIGNANT FEMALE ANARCHISTS
CHICAGO, August 21.-Captain Michae
Setback, who is credited with having oh
tanned the chief evidence against the con
demned Anarchists, was asked to-day
the police were now through with thei
labOrs.
Through, " said the officer, "why, the!
have but barely commenced"
"YOu mean you have Others who are in
dieted on the same charge?'
"YOu mustn't ask too much. tell YOU
the Anarchist business in Chicago has only
commenced, and before it is through with
we will have them all in Jail, hung oil
driven out of the city"
did you place any men under arrest
yesterday
That do not wish to tell"
THE report is that you have secured
warrants for the arrest of large number
of persons"
"lfyOu think a moment you can see how
foolish the idea would be. We have no
accommodations for any large number of
people, and it would be needless expense
to the State arresting too many ut once. l
can get them all rs want them. don't
need to arrest them now"
''They may try to leave the city"
''rime enough to arrest them when they
do. / can get them just the same"
''Will any of the women be arrested?"
'wHY NOT THE WOMEN?
Some of them are a good sight worse than
the men,"
'Do you think, " continued the Captain,
elf l had told the newspapers what
was doing while the Anarchists trial was
going on, that the jury would have brought
in the verdict of yesterday? No, sir; n
thousand times no. The prisoners would
have gone free. Every reporter who came
to me, told him-nOthing. | was work
ing up the evidence little by little, piece
by piece, and putting it together where ii
belonged. That's where | got the evidence.
L
points the defense would have known what
evidence was to be brought against them,
and have prepared to meet me- There was
but one man beside myself who knew any
thing about what was doing"
Said the officer in conclusion: 1T is
claimed that the attorneys for the State
always relied on verdict of guilty. They
maintained that there was no doubt con-
corning the result. Had Schnaubelt been
ut the bar, they could have produced teSti
mOny cOrrObOrative of Gilmer and Thomp-
son, which was excluded under the rules
of evidence. They regret that Balthauser
Rau was not indicted for murder with the
condemned men. There was not sufficient
evidence concerning him before the Grand
Jury, however The most important points
against him were developed during the
trial and by the witnesses for the defense,
especially by Spies and Schwab."
HOW NEEBE ESCAPED.
There is some talk of getting Rau and
Most indicted for the capital crime by flu
ture grand jury. Had Schracder testified
in accordance with his first story to Cap
tain Setback, Neebe, it is claimed, would
have shared the fate of his cO-cOnspirators.
The SOcialiStic Labor Unions, however,
reasoned" with him and thus saved
Neebe from the gallOws. The most active
worker for the defense was Captain Wal
ters or WaltherS, whom Jansen SwOre
was drilling the armed sections, He, it is
said, procured the pairs" OF witnesses re-
ferred to by Mr.. Grinnell in his closing
speech. 1t is said he got Scraeder over.
The Troops OF Anarchists who testified for
thr defense, the police say, were drilled by
him. His knowledge of English is limited,
or they might have told more consistent
stories Black and Foster, it is declared,
would have nothing to do with WaltherS
They refused to hold any intercourse with
him. Bell, another SOcialiStic leader
the Irish dynamiter Gleason, and George
Schilling were active workers for the de
Tense.
1t is said that Rau has fled the city. lie
has not been seen in his accustomed hauntS
for the last four days.
PROGRAMME OF THE DEFENSE.
A detail of ten policemen from Captain
Setback s force spent the night at the Jail
as special guard for the Anarchist con-
victS These were relieved by another
squad this morning. The prisoners held
a long conference with Captain Black,
their counsel, this morning, regarding the
programme to be carried out to test the
verdict and prevent, if possible, the judg-
ment being carried out.
General w. III. Parsons, brother of the
convicted Anarchist. says that every effort
will be made to reverse the verdict, and
that the case will be carried te the Supreme
Court OF the United States if necessary.
1t is understood the leading exception
will be the refusal of Judge Gary to give
for the defense the instruction which gave
to all men the right to peaceably assemble
and to repel by force any attempt made
either by the authorities or private indl-
vidualS to break up such meeting. If
the State Supreme Court OverruleS them
on the point, they will appeal to the U, S.
Supreme Court on the grounds that the
question is Constitutional one.
MUZZLING THE "ARBEITER ZEITUNG."
In an interview published to-day Gustav
Belz, the present managing editor OF the
Arbeiter ZeitHng, asserts his belief that the
trial was not conducted properly and says
the Anarchists think money was q large
factor in the result Mr.. Belz added that
nearly 81, 900 had been subscribed to the
defense fund and the services Ofthe lawyers
I'D to date will cost $4,000. At the late
picnic 81, 900 additional was added to the
fund. and Belz thought money would pour
in after to-day.
Another paper publishes an interview
with States Attorney Grinnen in which he
saws: every rigid measures will be
adopted against the Arbeiter ZeitHng. Any
reference to alleged bribery of the jury or
other incendiary utterances will cause its
instant suppression. We are going TO see
this matter through"
