Against the Anarchists.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The Inter-Ocean
has information that a deliberate at
tempt was made on Thursday night
to assassinate Harry Gilmer, the wit
ness who gave evidence at the recent
trial OF the Anarchists, directly i'm
plicating Spies and Schwab in the
throwing of the Haymarket bomb.
Gilmer was shot at while on the thresh-
old of his house, and the bullet
passed between his legs, lodging in
the door. The shot was fired at a
distance of no less that ten feet from
the living target, and the assassin's
precipitance was the only thing that
saved the citizens life. Gilmer lives
at No. so North Avenue street. twas
not generally known until to-day that
Henry Jansen, who made the murder
GUS assault upon his wife early Friday
morning, was a member of the north
side group and one Of the most rabid
Anarchists in the city, and on the
night of the bomb explosion was
within a few feet of the place from
where the deadly missile was hurled
into the ranks OF the marching police
men. This knowledge, resulting from
his identification, has led to the dis
covery of what may be a definite clue
to the bomb thrown that night.
Jansen left his wife about 7 o'clock,
stating that he had an important
Anarchist meeting to attend, and init
mating that there would be trouble Of
some kind before the night was over.
:. He did not return until after 4 o'clock
the following morning, and in reply to
his wife's question as to where he had
been, significantly replied, 81 told you
there would be trouble" His state
ments were never beyond this, until
about ten days ago, when in an affec-
8 tionate and confidential mood he in
formed his wife that he was
present the night the bomb was
thrown into the ranks of the police /;
that he stood near the man who threw
it; that he saw the man who threw it.
. 1t is now believed that his attempt to
get her out of the way because he re-
pented of having revealed as much as
J he did, and was afraid that his dis
closure might eventually lead him into
Y greater trouble than merely killing his
/ wife. Mrs. Jansen adds that her hus-
band also confided the name of the
man who did the bomb-throwing.
r Owing to her feebleness and the ma
Y ture of her wounds, it has been i'm
| possible to obtain the name distinctly.
. Stayed at Hts Post.

stance, occurred at Anderson's Sta
