them, and repeated II many times over.
1t sounded like a knell to the prisoners,
but II was an assurance to the tired ju-
rors OF what they must have almost
known all along, that the interest of
Chicago in the trial
HAD NOT ABATED
since the morning of May 8.
Az 2 O'Clock a large force of police
gathered at the Chicago Avenue police
station, under command OF Inspector
Capt. Shank. A little later Chief Ebersold
arrived.
1t is a current rumor around town that
the police have a list containing the names
Of nearly 800 men engaged in the anarch-
lists conspiracy, aud that wholesale ar
rests will henceforth be ordered. 1t is
reported that the names of Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and Mrs. Lizzie Holmes are
among those for whom warrants have
been issued,
AAAAhA VAN NVaNh AANAR e
A newsman and bootblack named
"Corkey," who has been q familiar figure
at the corner of Washington and La Sale
streets, and who'll Is explained, has been
blacking the boots of one of the counsel
for the defense, kept crying out

policeman during one of his flights and
taken to the station. The man was in
toxicated.
After the condemned men had re-
manned In the cage nearly two hours,
Fischer at first :mpatiently said to a re-
porter, "no, l have nothing to say" then
as he again came back to the bars he
leaned upon a table and said: tfYou may
say this only begins the fight against the
system. 1t is the birth of anarchy"
Neebe on being asked If the verdict
was a surprise to his companions said he
didn't know whether 1t was or not. He
had not asked them and they had not ex-
pressed themselves to him on the subject.
The question, so far as the leaders were
concerned, was just, Spies and Parsons
were brought down and taken into the
cage with the others, where Black, Eos
ter, Solomon and Ziesler, the ATTORNEYS
for the defense, had been shown. Spies,
as he shook hands with Capt. Black,
said: "Gentlemen, we did not expect til
Parsons wore his coat and soft SLOUGH
nat, but was almost equally calm. The
twain consulted with Black and Foster,
while Neebe and Lingg lowered at their
elbows. Solomon in another corner
talked with the gaunt, Notwithstanding
Schwab, who, with his lank physique,
unkempt beard, staring eyes and battered
SLOUGH hat, presented the ideal appear
ance of a demoralized convict.
Engle and Fischer were talked to py
Attorney Zeisler, whose greeting was de-

in language which sounded strongly like
sympathy for the anarchist cause.
WHAT THE ARBEITER zE1TUNG SAYS.
CHICAGO, ILL Aug. 20.-The Arbeiter
Zeitung appeared this evening with the
following head lines: "Shameful, Seven
of the Accused Condemned to Death and
Neebe to Fifteen Years in the Peniten-
tiary, Motion for a New TRIAL Made"
Commenting on the verdict, the paper
says; "The news which is
conveyed in the above head lines was
communicated by Osborne, the foreman
OF the jury, to Judge Carey. The "spot-
ters' who mingled among the crowd in
the street broke into hurrahs when the an
nouncement was made, but the Judge be.
quite pale. Not even he
had expected it. Grin
nell awaited it openly, presumably
he had reason for so doing. Marshal
Field and men of his stripe have much
unlimited money. What do the people
say to the verdict They consider it i'm
possible. We also could not believe the first
true until it was confirmed later.
Capt. Black at once moved for a new
trial. Grinnell didn't object and
Judge Carey will hear the motion at the
September term. Should he refuse, then
there remains nothing but the appeal.
we are, ourselves, too much excited to
say more now"
