 CHICAGO, July 19.-At the anarchist trial l this forenoon Lieut.. J. P. Stanton was the 1 first witness called for by Mr. Grinnell, State attorney. He told the story of his march 1 from the West Lake street station to the Haymarket on the night of the massacre. "We had been four or five seconds standing ! there when I saw the 'shelP coming over | me-" he said. ''It fell on the left of my men. I said, Look out, there's 8 shell' q got that word from my experience in the navy), and then the bomb exploded. I looked around for my men, but they were strewn on the ground and scattered in all directions. De- gan and Reddy were killed and all of my men but two were either killed or wounded. had eighteen men," The witness said he was not four feet distant from where the bomb exploded and was injured in eleven different places. He described the wounds he received and stated that he was taken to the hospital where he remained about three weeks. No shots were fired up to the time the bomb exploded, but immediately there after rattling fusilade was opened on the police from the crowd near the speakers
 stand. Lieutenant Stanton said he drew his
 revolver the next instant and opened fire
 on the enemy. His men were armed-had
 revolvers in their pockets. Cross-examined
 by Lawyer Black, Lieutenant Stanton ex-
 plained the movements of the police on
 their arrival at the scene.
 Officer H. F. Kruegher followed Lieuten-
 ant Stanton for the prosecution. When Cap
 tain Ward gave orders for the assemblage to
 disperse he saw Fie1den get down from the truck, crouch behind it and begin firing.
 Officer Wessler testified to the same facts.
 Officer Foley gave similar testimony. The next witness was Luther Moulton, an officer of the Knights of Labor and resident of Grand Rapids, Mich He saw Spies in his house in Grand Rapids February g, 8 leading member of the socialists of Chicago and said he came to Grand Rapids to lecture. Witness question ed him about the objects of the society he represented. Spies explained that the reor- ganizstionof society was the end in view, add ing that he had no confidence in legisla- ton or other peaceful methods; force and arms were the only means by which it could be accomplished. He said they were pre- pairing for such demonstration in Chicago and all the centers of the country and had sufficient force organized. They numbered over three thousand in Chicago. remarked, continued the witness, that did not think three thousand would be sufficient, but he said they had superior means in their posses sion. He said if they took the city they would receive large accessions from the ranks of the laboring men. I asked him how they proposed to get these accessions. He said by holding out inducements to the 1aH Tba C11ia said, would be made at 8 time when the wo1kpen of the city were on strike and in destitution. Then they would hold out in- ducements to relieve their wants, provide them with employment, etc., if they joined the ranks of the revolutionists By this means he said they would be able to hold possession of the city. I asked him how they could carry out all this without blood shed. Spies said no revolution could be accomplished without bloodshed and loss of life. asked him would not that amount to criminal action and he said if they failed it would be looked upon as 8 crime, but otherwise heroic feat. George Washington would be regarded as revolutionist and would have been pun ished had he failed. The failure was the crime. The conversation lasted about half an hour and the witness was quite certain Spies mentioned explosives. Did he say anything about the eight hour movement?" asked Mir GrinneIl "Yes, he said great number of men would likely be unemployed by this and he said in answer to 8 question that this demonstration would likely be made about May 1. He then went on to say that they were prepared to successfully destroy the police and militia. I afterward presided at the meeting at which he lee tured and took issue with him on his doctrines" The witness was cross examined by Captain Black. The only new statement elicited from him was that he first recited the con versation to Inspector Bonfeld few days ago.
 George Schaf, who was in Moulton's house when Spies called, corroborated that witness as to what was said on February %. adding that Spies explained that the revolu- tion was to be accomplished by an organiza- tion of which no one knew anything before joining it. Lieutenant Bowler was called for examination. He described minutely all the we'll known details of the tragedy. Three of his men died from the ef- fects of the explosion and the shots and fifteen were wounded. He had twenty five men in all. Witness saw the pistols in the hands of the crowd, but did not see or recognize anybody firing. As he marched up to the meeting he heard somebody near the wagon say, 'Here they are now; -t the bloodhounds.'' Witness fired nine shots in all.
 At the afternoon session two more police officers were examined and corroborated the testimony of those already heard in regard to the Haymarket riot. Then an aged civ ilian named James K. Magee was put on the stand and testified to being at the meeting in the West Twelfth street Turner Hall Oc
 teber Il last He said that Spies and Field en were present and the former proposed @ resolution which was passed recommending the use of force and arms instead of the bal lot to redress the wrongs of the laboring men.
 Thomas Greift, of 59 West Lake street, was next called. He testified that on the night of May 3 man we'll known to
 him came to him and wanted
 to hire a hall. He let him have
 the basement The man instructed him to
 send all who inquired for Ipsilon's people
 down stairs Three men inquired and he sent them down. MT. Gruft said he was socialist, but not an anarchist Officer Doyle, who received thirteen pieces of the she'll in his body at the Haymarket riot, next testified and identified Fulden as tn 6 one who gave the signal for the bomb throwing. Inspector Bonfeld testified as to what the reporters had got Spies and Schwab to say in their cells after their arrest. The court then adjourned.
