resistance. Ho was armed with a reyoiv.
er about fourteen inches ,long--a
most murderous looking weapon-and
did his best to shoot the officers, in
tending, according to his own account, to
shoot himself afterwards A bucketful of
bombs cigar-box filed with Cartridges, q
lot of metal solder bolts and nuts shells
and carpenters tools, and cold chsel,
metal drill and small iron pot were
brought into court, all Of which
had been found in Lingg's bedroom,
besides another extra big revolver
and Winchester rifle. His trunk was also
brought in. After the police brought the
trunk from Lingg's lodgings to the East
Chicago avenue station they found it had
false bottom, and the space between the
false and real bottom was found to be
filled with dynamite. The bolt-nuts found
in his room are exactly similar to the one
shot into the tailor Hahn at the Haymar-
ket explosion.
CHICAGO, July 80. - States Attorney
Grinnell said yesterday morning that he
thought he would complete his testimony
this evening. The defense will use about
ten days, but the State has considerable
evidence in rebuttal. The defense will at
tempt to impeach the truthfulness of M.
M. Thompson and Harry Gilmer.
Harry Gilmer the witness who testified
on Thursday that he saw Spies light the
fuse and Schnaubelt throw the bomb, comes
OF a good family. His father was Hon.
Thomas W. Gilmer formerly Governor
OF Virginia and momber of Congress,
and afterward Secretary of the Navy
when he was killed, together with Mr.
upshur, Secretary Of State, David Gar
diner, and several Others by the bursting
of Commodore Stockton's big gun on board
the frigate Princeton during pleasure ex-
cursion on the Potomac February %, 1874.
In the trial yesterday DR.. j. B. Murphy
gave graphic and narrowing account Of
the effects of the bomb and the sufferings of
the wounded and dying He had attended
nearly thirty of the victims of the ex-
plosion, some of them at the Desplalnes
street station and others at the hospital.
Describing in detail the wounds of the
chief sufferers he told CHASTITY story of
mangled bones and ragged, quivering
fiesh-the shattered bodies of those
who caught the full force of the ex-
ploding shell. Some pieces of shell that
left but a small surface wound had torn
great Jagged tunnels through lungs
liver or intestines, while others that
had torn off Jumps of surface flesh
had left the internal organs untouched
The incidental description of the suf-
ferings of Jacob Hansen, Timothy Flavin
LdWTeuce murphy, Nicholas Shannon,
Thomas Redden and Bernard Murphy
were extremely painful to many of the
listeners, and moved some of them to
tears.
A quantity of clothing of the murdered
and wounded policemen was exhibited,
bearing blood-stains and bullet-holes and
rents torn by pieces of she'll. They were
identified as the garments worn by the I'M
fortunate policemen who fell at their posts
of duty at the Haymarket. Captain Black
opposed this exhibit but the States AT
torney said that he ought to be satisfied if
they did not bring in men on stretchers,
dead and dying, to show the deadly work
of the prisoners.
The young man Thompson, whose recall
had been requested by the defense, took
the stand during the forenoon session, but
Mr.. Foster had nothing of Importance to
ask him, nor did his answers in any man.
ner impair or weaken his important testi
mony.
Police Captain Schaack described an in.
terview with Lingg the day the latter was
arrested. Lingg freely confessed he had
them against the police. He had bought
the dynamite in a store on Lake street,
had learned how to use it from
Herr MQsts book and had experimental
successfully with some bombs of his own
make. Captain Setback then described his
experiments with some of Lingg's dypa.
mite, and exhibited as evidence of its
power the broken metal and plank already
referred to. The bombs, cartridges, fuse
ETC., were also put in evidence.
