Workmen's advocate., 1889-05-25

ulltlu pb. At lHhNlNl WulCI was printed in the TimcS. .Democrat was Garside's own story, and Comrade Boensch's apparent acquiescence in it was caused partly by an imper- feet knowledge of the language used and was partly based upon his Iodgcr's statements, for at the time they were made he was not aware, nor had he the least suspicion, that GarSidc was not perfectly honest and straightfor- ward. But after he had made d careful examination, he found that the garden showed absolutely no signs of intrusion. The string with which the docr was fastened was cut about a foot from the handle, and as 1t could not possibly have been reached from the outside with out breaking through d window over which q curtain was tackled all around, it proved concIusIyely that it was cut from the inside. The razor which was found in the gar den under the direction of Garsjde was seen in his room by Mr. Boensch's son few days previously, but he denied all knowledge of it. He said he had no razor i'll his possession whatever. It was new white handled affair.
 During the excitement following the first reports of the great at tempt at assassination Garsido man. aged to secure, as far as now known, five dollars from one Comrade and twenty from another. He claimed he was afraid for his life, and the poor men whom he deceived gladly helped him to escape the clutches of the murderers he alleged were bent on killing him. Of course the Exec utiye repaid this money. Garsde had te}egraphed for money, but he was told he could not have any till he had accounted. Sc he got 1t from the men in New Orleans. He claimed to have been accostcd on the street and threatened.
 The object of all this comedy seems simply to have been to coun- tcract the effect of the damaging evidence against him in Chicago, to gain the sympathy of the Executive, and to make himself notorious for the purpose of plying his peculiar "ndustry. y
 But there seems to be more at the back of all this tlimsy deceit. He told a sympathetic comrade in New Orleans that he had to go on the road without any wages, but that there were number of men who were at the head of the Party who flched from fifty to sixty dollars a week out of the Party treasury. When asked where all the money came from, he said he himself could not understand it. He told this same sympathetic and innocent c0mrade that he intended to start a new party and a new paper, and wanted his gentle auditor to assist him. An earnest desire to boost the "great American Lassalle" famed in the good comrades breast, and he  promised to subscribe for the new paper.
 This little bit of history would be sufficient to exhibit the eloquent professor in his true light, but there are a few more points to record this week.
 The man was called back by the Executive, and the Secretary called him to account. Financial accounts were not given, but slips of paper, upon which were written by himself alleged receipts and expenditures, were handed in. No account oI whom and fo: what the receipts were given. The numbered subscription blanks which were ordered to bt used were not used, save five, and they were not returned, so thai whatever amounts are subscribed upon them are unknown. His ey cuses for not sending in a daily pos. tai card and weekly financial reports were varied, among them was that he was engaged in explaining Social ism to prominent citizens who tlockeC to him at all hours of the night, SC that he was too tired in the day time.
 The National Secretary cashiereC him, according to instructions, anC bo ,orocoo1oI 1iraot from, tho I a ako,
