Chicago Anarchists.
CHICAGO, May 13th.-In short time an
effort will be made to secure the release
from the penitentiary of the convicted
Anarchists, Fielden, Schawb and Neebe by
an application to Judge Graham, of the
Circuit Court, for writ of habeas corpus,
on the ground that the prisoners are de-
tanned without due process of law. The
Anarchist lawyers say that the writ will be
asked for on the ground that after the sem
tence was passed upon the condemned men
the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court. where the finding of the lower Court
was affirmed. The prisoners were not taken
before the Supreme Court to hear this
affirmation of their sentences. The claim
is made that this was breach of their con-
