VI. Il. Malkotf, Russian, living at 26S West
Randolph street, was called first. Heis q
correspondent of a paper at Moscow, Russia,
ana IL is SAD was imprisoned there on ac-
count of his connection with q nihilistic
movement. Malkoff has worked as a reporter
on tue DAILY News and at one time was con4
nected with the Arbeiter Zeitung. He was at
Tue Haymarket on the evening of May 4, but
only Tor few minutes. He testified that ha
was at Aepfs hall when the bomb exploded,
ana says he saw Parsons there five minuteS
Delore the pomb exploded, and saw Parsons,
MRS. PARSONS and Mrs. Holmes there at the
tlme the bomb exploded. On the cross-exam-
lnatlon 1t was shown that the witness had let
i' s addressed to the care of Justus Schwab
IN new York, and that he was rooming with
balthauser Rau, the anarchist, at the time of
the riot, and before that he lived with
ochWap. one OF the defendants. When he left
Russia, in 1882, his bedroom was
SEARCHED BY THE POLICE.
Since his stay here he had contributed
money to the ALARM" Witness said he was
not n1hil1st or the agent for any society in
RUSSIA; he was working Tor the Moscow
Gazette. The prosecution here offered in
evidence ' letter written by witness to Spies.

ness said he did not use the terms s'proletar-
lat'' in the sense which socialists always en-
ploy the term, but he understood it to mean
a man Wltnout any means of support. W. A.

ternatlonal Workingmens organization testi-

t1elden and others were there. Rau came in
and said speakers were wanted at the Hay
market. Witness was asked, "Did you that
morning or that afternoon or at any day or
any time ever hear the word "Ruhe" mem
toned with explanation of its meaning?" 81
never did, Patterson said
MESSAGE CAME FROM DEERINq
asking to have speaker sent there that
night, and that it was arranged then to have
Schwab attend that meeting. This was
offered to verify the testiminy given yester-
day, that Schwab addressed a gathering there
the night of the Haymarket massacre John
Holloway, an Englishman, said he was close
to the wagon during all of the speaking, and
denied that Fieldcn made use of the ex-
preston, Here come the bloodhounds," re.
ferring to the police, and said he could not
have been mistaken. When asked to point
out Spies, Parsons and Filoen, he pointed out
Schwab, Fielden and Parsons, in their order,
and having done this on the cross-examinae
ton, was excused.
Lindmeyer, kalsominer, testified that he
had occasion to search the closet in the
Arbeiter ZeItung office, where the deadly ex-
ploSives were found by the police on May 4,
and declared that he saw none of them Oh
that day. This was offered to convey the
tt1.tf tho
for the purpose of convictng Spies and
Schwab. On the cross-examination it was
shown that the witness had long been an init
mate friend of Spies, and was on the bond of
Spies brother The court then adjourned to
p. m.
whose testimony has the most bearing ON the
case were Henry Spies, brother of the defend
ant of that name, and William Snyder. The
latter said ne was 35 years old and a socialist.
"Where have you been for the past two
months or sop asked Capt. Black I'm the
county JAIL ''Under Indictment for con-
spiracy in connection with the Haymarket
riot?'' eyes, sir.'' Witness then related how
he acted as chairman at q meeting held at
the Arbeiter Zeitung Office early in the even
ing of May 4. The meeting, he said, was for
the purpose of
AIDING MRS. PARSONS MOVEMENT
to assist sewing girls. The defense desired
at the Arbeiter Zeitung Office had no relation
to subsequent events Of the Haymarket.
Witness then testified that he went to the
Haymarket meeting and got into wagon oc-
cupied by the speakers. He was
there when the police came I'D and
points in his testimony were his statements
that Spies did not leave the speakers wagon
during the meeting, and that Fielden did not
fire at the police. In his cross-examination
of the witness, Mr.. Gr1nnell asked if the
American group, of which he had testified he
was q member, ever met for the purpose of
going through military evolutions and learn
ing the use of arms. Witness replied that his
group had met several times for the purpose
of drilling, $50 as to be able to present good
appearance while going to picnics." The
group had no arms in it's possession, how
ever. and had never met for the purpose Of
learning their use. Before leaving the court
room the witness shook hands warmly with
each of the defendants. His demeanor and
language throughout indicated that he firmly
believed himself to be
A MARTYR
to a most righteous cause. "Henry Spies,
you may take the stand,'' said Capt. Black.
Henry Spies is brother to Spies, the accused,
and the announcement that he was to take
the stand caused quite futter in the court
room. There was nothing sensational in his
testimony, however, except his statement
made under oath that the story he told the
officers who were sent to arrest him and told
the states attorney afterwards, was a fabri-
cation from beginning to end. Questioned
by Capt. Black, the witness said he attended
the Haymarket meeting with his brother
August; that August and himself, finding
that Parsons had not arrived, went as far as
Union street in search OF him; that they re-
turned shortly to the speakers wagon and
Spies opened the meeting. Ibid you hear
Schwab at the meeting?' Witness answered
in effect that though he was at the meet
ing from beginning to end and all of
this time in sight of his brother, he did not
once see Schwab. This contradicted the state
ment of Thompson, a witness for the state,
who said Spies and Schwab, previous to the
speaking, walked together from the wagon to
Union street and back. The witness then re.
lated how he
STOOD BESIDE THE WAGON
during the speaking, how, when the bomb e1-
ploded he helped his brother alight from the
wagon, and how he struck down revolver
aimed at his brother, receiving the ball in his
own body. He became separated from his
brother and went home to have his wound
dressed. Ibid your brother say anything
when the bomb exploded?" Eyes, he said he
thought it was Calling gum ibid Spies
leave the wagon at any Time during the
meeting and go toward the alley?"
mo. he remained in the wagon"
This contradicts the testimony Of Gilmer,
who said he saw Spies light the
fuse of the bomb in the alley. Ibid you not
tell the police who went to arrest you and
found you sick in bed from the effects Of
your wound, and tell me later on that you
were not at the Haymarket meeting at all,
but were in saloon near Zepf's hall and was
coming to the door when shot?'' Yes, that is
what I said" "Wel, did you lie then or
now?" 81 lied then, now am under oath
and tell the truth" Witness explained
that two of his brothers being already under
arrest, and he having heard of their treat
ment by the officers, thought it best to lie
then and retain his liberty if possible.
August Kreuger, who said he was orderly
sergeant and corresponding secretary for the
Lehr und Weir Verein, was also discovered
to have lied in his first statements to the
officers. His testimony was not valuable.
