CHICAGO, May 26.-The grand jury
has partly completed its investigation
of the Anarchist cases and has deter
mined to indict nearly all the persons
arrested and confined in connection
with the affair of the Haymarket
square. The indictments were passed
on yesterday. August Spies, Michael
Schwab, August Fischer, Samuel
Fielden, perhaps Parsons-though
there is considerable doubt as to the
latter-were indicted for murder.
Christ Spies, Lingg, Peter Rossiter,
and ten or twelve others were indicted,
some for conspiracy, others for riot.
The cases of HirschbeIg and Schnabelt
are also believed to have received at
tention. The grand jurors were very
reticent about the indictments. They
kept their counsel very well. The only
new evidence offered yesterday in the
cases was the continuation of Capt.
Schaack's testimony. He was before
the jury but brief time and told them
that he would be able to connect the
parties indicted for murder with the
bomb throwing in Haymarket square
beyond any doubt. They were all at
the meeting at which it was deter
mined to use the bombs. About
twenty-five were to be used, and three
of the indicted parties had the missiles
in their possession the night of the
occurrence. He then detailed the con-
tession of one of the indicted parties
who. has turned approver. file would
produce some of his witnesses if the
grand jury and the States Attorney
deemed it necessary.
TORONTO, Canada. May 26.-For
over three hours last night the city was
under mob rule. Word was received
by the Knights of Labor that omni-
buses from Kingston for the use of the
street-railroad strikers would arrive
here between 5 and o'clock, and
large crowd went to meet them, accom-
panied by brass band.
On their arrival the Omnibuses were
driven slowly through the principal
streets, the crowd gradually increasing
in number until nearly two thousand
persons were following in the process
sion. Every street car met on the route
was attacked with bricks and stones.
Passengers, drivers, and conductors
were injured, and the widest uproar
was kept up, the police being powerless
to do anything.
Between thirty and forty street cars
were wrecked in this way, and are now
lying in the cOmpany's shops. Such q
scene has seldom if ever been witness
ed in Toronto. Fortunately, so far as
ascertained, no person was dangerous.
ly injured. Had not the knights of
Labor broken up the procession much
more serious results would have fol-
lowed.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May M.-F. III. Ber-
gemann, Martin Frank, Otto Fricke,
and Gottlieb Jaborossky, anarchists,
were arrested Sunday and jailed to
await trial on the charge of having in
troduced at an unlawful meeting and
urged the adoption of resolutions in
dorsing the actions of the anarchists
during the Haymarket riot in Chicago.
A detective who worked up the case
says that these men know more con-
corning the whereabouts of the noted
Chicago agitator Parsons than they
care to reveal. He says also that he
knows positively that Parsons passed
through small town in northern
Kansas soon after the riot, with the in
tentiOn of escaping to Canada, but was
of the serious delay to travel by wash
outs on the railroads and started for the
south, passing through this city on his
way, and comforting with his brother
anarchists while here. This tends to
substantiate the statement telegraphed
from Florida that Parsons had been
seen there, presumably on his way to
Cuba.
CHICAGO, May N.-Capt. Setback
testified before the grand jury that he
thought he could prove that "there was
a well-laid plain to sack and burn dis
tricts in Chicago May A. 1t would
have been carried out but that the
Anarchists lacked nerve and were un-
prepared for the vigorous action of the
police. Men were told off to set fire to
certain houses in the northwestern por-
ton of the city, and others were told
stations, while others were to use
bombs at the meeting if the police at
tempted to dispense it. / think L can
