ST. JosKPH, Mo-, Oct i0.-A young
man scarcely twenty years old named
Walter w. vrooman, editor OF the Kansas
City Labor Organizer, q Knights Of Labor
organ, attempted TO make a speech on a
street corner last night. He spoke on la
Dor questions quite fuently for about If
teen minutes, when he launched OF into
TRADE against the police of Kansas City
and Chicago, and In the bit
ierest terms denounced the Chicago
authorities for what he called the
judicial murder Of the seven
convicted anarchists and gesticulating
wildly, Yelled: "Such laws as these must
be met by lawlessness. Lawlessness in
all judicial forms must be prevented II
the downtrodden laborers have to arm"
At this point Chief Brader arrested the
excited speaker and started with him for
the police headquarters. A mob followed,
yelling and hooting. One or two shots
were fred, but the chief went on with
his prisoner The police headquarters

and guarded inside by the off.

grew until at least 1000 people were
present. Hon. J. 4. Cook addressed the
crowd, asking that they quietly disperse.
He was greeted by yells Of "rats,n 'let
the kid loose, F" "burn the hail." "down
with the police" etc. At late hour Mr.
Cook sigued a bond for the release Of
Vrooman. The prisoner was taken to
the rear door and told to avoid the crowd
An officer made the announcement TO the
mob, who would not go, believing 1t some
ruse. They were at last satisfied by a
committee, which the police allowed to
examine the headquarters
JUDGE GARY's REMARKS.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 10.-Judge Gary
concluded his speech yesterday before
passing sentence on the anarchists as
follows: The people of this country love
their institutions, they love their homes,
they love their property. They will never
consent to violence and murder. These
institutions have been broken down,
their homes despoiled, their pro.
perty destroyed and the people are
strong enough to protect aud sustain
their institutions and to punish all Of
tenders against their laws, and those who
threaten danger to civil society where the
laws are enforced, are leading to destruc-
ton whoever may attempt to execute such
threats. The existing order of society can
be changed only by the Will OF the major.

terrain and advocate by speech
and print such opinions as suit
himself and the great body of people will
usually care little what he says, but il he
proposes murder as a means of enforcing
his opinions, he puts his own life at stake
and no clamor about free speech or evils

committed and Of which you have been

In patience, with which an out
ragged people have extended to you every
protection and privilege OF the law which
you derided and dehed, that the sentence
OF the law be now given in form and de-
tail. That sentence will appear upon the
records OF the courts. In substance and
effect 1t is that the defendant, .Neebe, be
imprisoned In the state penitentiary at
Joliet at hard labor for term
OF fifteen years and that

the hours of 10 O'Clock in the forenoon
and o'clock in the afternoon of Deem

statutes of this state, shalt be

OF the sentence Judge Gary's face
worked convulsively, and when he
reached the words "hangedn he faltered,

words were scarcely audible. At
the conclusion there was deep sigh and
every spectator was on his feet to get a

arose to save some technical point, when
silence was restored for moment. and
when the matter was decided
the prisoners rose and began
slowly to walk out of The
courtroom with the bailiffs who had
them in charge. The prisoners, who had
turned to listen to the sentence with
added pallor, exhibited no other emotion
on hearing the fatal words. AS thew
arose Mrs. Parsons came up and kissed
her husband, Mrs. Ames also kissed Par
sons on the cheek. The relatives
OF the other defendants wrupg
their hands, but none OF the
women shed tear, they slmed to
cheer up the condemned by show of
fortitude. The condemned men passed
slowly out of the courtroom to iail. AS
Parsons passed some police officers he
drew his hands across his throat In sig
