Chicago Anarchists in Court.
CHICAGO, May 8--Adolph Fischer, for the last
ave years compositor on the Arbeiter Zeitung;
q. Li2ius a reporter, and Mrs. Lizzie Holmes,
an editorial writer on the same paper. were ia
Ken before Judge Rogers on writ or naoeas
corpus. Lizius the reporter, was discharged.
In the case OF Mrs Lizzie Holmes, Attorney
Grinnell sgnified his willingness that she snonid
be allowed to depart under six hundred
bonds, and expressed his hope that further In
vestigation would prove her innocence OF any
eomplicity in the great crime. The three habeas-
corpus petitioners were seated IN 'front.' under
the desk q Judge Rogers The little
Socialistic organ were either side
of the central figure, Adolph Fischer, who sat as
erect as though he was on the judgment seat in
stead of in the bar Fischer is very tall man,
with faded blonde hair unkempt and in pro-
fusion around both head and face. His forehead
retreats and he has sullen and determined ap-
pearance. His counsel, Mr.. Solomon, asked for
his discharge or his immediate trial. He boldly
asserted his clients innocence and pleaded
against a remand because he was a married man,
a workingman who had family dependent on
him for their living.
Prosecuting Attorney Grinnell interrupted,
'Yes, and so had those gallant policemen who
were murdered last Tuesday evening by this
man [sensationl and his friends"
Mr.. Solomon continued with the usual argu-
ments of the rights of parties to speedy trial. ETC.
Mr.. Grinnell addressed the court briefly and
with suppressed emotion. The courtroom was
silent and the friends of the Anarchists sat with
bated breath He said he must ask the court to
refuse to set at liberty man whom he believed
ne could prove to be guilty Of murder lSensa-
sion. 1t would be imprudent for the State to go
into an examination of this mans case at the pres.
emit time, because 1t would disclose prematurely
Its case against some of his co-conspirators.

said Mr.. Grlnnell; I'VE have kept it so carefully
that even the newspapers have not got hold OF
It have important evidence, and assure tho
SQUIRT that am confident that that man point

assisted IN throwing the bomb-[at this point
Fischar half rose from his seat and motioned to
his counsel, who did not see him, as his eyes
were riveted on Mr.. Grinnell and if he did not
throw the bomb in person. he was accessory to
the whole plan and conspiracy This we can be
able to show by a week from next Tuesday or
Wednesday, and the State asks, IN behalf OF
justice, that Fischer shall be held without bail
until that time If he is not the chief, We will
prove him to be an accomplice in the slaughter of
the police
MIR. Grinnell spoke in very measured tones,
and his confident assertions produced a great
sensation in the courtroom.
Judge Rogers said that in criminal cases, and
especially in one of so great magnitude as the
present, the court must rely very largely Upon
the representations of the State and it was the
duty of the court to give the State every oppor-
tunity to investigate this great crime. He would
accept the suggestions of the States attorney,
md would stpone the hearing until week
from next Wednesday.
Mrs Parsons SAT upon the front seat reserved
fur the spectators, and was dressed quite preten-
tiously. A white sack, lavshly trimmed with
lace and long kid gloves which were somewhat
soiled, were the marked characteristics OF her
costume. Her bonnet was richly and Hastily
trimmed. At every stage of the proceedings she
was consulted by the attorneys for the defense,
and she informed Mr. Zeistet that bail would be
provided. When the Judge had delivered his
opinion. reporter went over and took his seat
beside her. and said: "Good morning"
