CHICAGO, Dec. IA new Anarchist cir

streets. 1t is printed in red ink, and the

Richter" 1t is issued by the Arbeiter
Bund, the same society that organized
Sunday schools here in which some hun
dreds of children are being taught the
doctrines of Anarchism. After telling the
workingman that he is trampled into the
dust, that he has no recognized rights, and
that he should assert his independence, it
states that capital and all who control
capital must be destroyed-and destroyed
quickly-and that the only eficacious
method of removal is the one adopted and
carried into execution by ''the martyred
advocates of freedom who gave up their
lives so the principles they advocated
might be perpetuated."
sour time is coming" the circular con-
tinues; call that remains for US to do is to
forget petty differences and band together
for our one common object. What few
throttle the capitalistic tyrant; they can
surround him with fire and bloodshed, and
compel him in war to recognize our rights,
thing he will not do in peace"
Believers in the cause are pressed to
give all aid in their power toward the or
ganization and success of the various So
cieties now springing up. Aid is again
asked for Sevic, Hronek and Chapek, and
the information volunteered that con-
tributions can be left at "a West Lake

''The fact of the matter is this" said
Albert Curtin, the leader of the Arbeiter
Bund, speaking to a group whom he
thought were all sympathizers, capital
ism in the pride of it's strength is too AFRO
CANT to yield point that means conces-
sion to humanity and popular rights. But
in Anarchy it is listening TO the tramp Of
thousands and it is menace it had better
heed. When the capitalists become too
aggressive they will hear there is still
dynamite manufactured in this country"
THE HRoNEK TRIAL.
CHICAGO, Dec 1.-When the trial of An
archist Hronek, charged with conspiracy
to murder the officers of the law who Sc
cured the execution of the Haymarket An
archists was resumed yesterday. Mrs.
Catharine Chapek, wife of one of the al
legged co-conspirators with Hronek, testi-
fed that the testimony of Chleboun, the
informer, in regard to the meetings be-
tween Hronek and her husband were I'M
true.
Hronek then took the stand and denied
that he had ever said that Schneider made
the bombs used by the suicide Anarchist
Lingg.
John Nelson and Richard Kirby, dredg-
ers, testified to the finding of an empty
gas pipe bomb in the river near the point
where Hronek is supposed to have thrown
a number of the missiles into the stream.
After Attorney Fisher and an express
man named Janeck, who drove the con-
spirators to Riverside to make the expert
ments with bombs, had contradicted
Chleboun on some minor points. Frank
Chapek, one of the conspirators, was
called, and made a general denial of the
charges in the evidence for the prosecu-
ton. He never had any dynamite, and
consequently never showed any to Chile
boun. He knew nothing of the plot for
revenge, and did not get any plan for the
location of Judge Grinnell's house. He
admitted going to Aldine square July 4,
but did not even know that Judge Grinnen
lived there. He also denied having prom
ised to avenge Hronek if he should be ar
rested and hung.
After some further minor evidence was
produced the court took a recess.
Joseph Mikolanda was the first witness
called in the afternoon. He had been at
Chapek's honse when it was said Hronek
displayed dynamite bomb, but he saw
no bomb and had never seen q bomb in
Hronek's possession. He had also visited
Riverside with Hronek but nothing was
said about aveDging the death of the An
archists.
Anton Kozell testified that he had known
Chleboun since 1884, and that his reputa-
ton for truth and veracity was bad, and
witness would not believe him under oath.
John Dvorak also expressed his belief
that Chleboun's statements were not reli-
able.
This ended the evidence and Assistant
Elliott began the opening speech for the
prosecution. Court adjourned before he
had concluded.
