The Bomb Throwers
CHIoAGo. August Sin this after
noon proceedings in the Anarchist trial.
the testimony furnsi ed by the defense
was mainly introduced to prove that
no shots were fred at the Newmarket
meeting except BY the police, add that
the reputat on OF witness Gilmore. who
testified for the prosecution IN a man
ner most seriously duplicating Spies,
was such that his oath was If no con-
sequence.
Joreb Cutscher. shoemaker. who
was shot at the meeting,
saw no revolvers except in
the hands OF the police and was cor
fdent that no shots had been fired ex-|
cept by them. The witness said he had
been taken TO the pelice station after
the riot and remained there two weeks,
during which time he told the officers
the same story he now told in court.
Other testimony of the witness result

John O'Crxey. composition of a morn
ing paper, had known Harry l.. Gilmore,
witness of the Stale above referred 20,
since the spring of 1880 and lived in his
neighbOrhOod for some time. He did
not think he would b-lieye GILMORE un-
der oath, owing 10 his general rcputa-
ton among his associates, and from
witness knowledge of HIM. The cross
examination was not particularly sue
cessful in its attempt 10 show that wit
nessIopinion concerning GilmOre's re-
putation had been largely formed since
the latter's appearance as witness for
the State.
John Garrick, formerly chief deputy
sheriff of Cook County, gave Gilmore a
very bad reputation. On account of this
reputation witness had obliged Gilmore
to Vacate witness premises Of which
Gilmore was = tenant, at toe end Of the
third day. Witness appeared 10 have
considerable feeling in the matter, and
suffered considerably at the hands of
Mr.. Walker during the eross-examina-
| ton. Witness discomfort arose from
his attempts 20 evade the necessity of
particularizing. In the matter of Gil
more's associates, these ne az first
claimed 20 know only by general re-
putation and not by name. He was
forced, however. to admit that he knew
several dissolEts persons Of both sexes
who he alleged were associates Of Gil
more, and left the stand considerably
/ confused.
