CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-Thc seven alleged
Anarchists arrested at last nights meet
in, were arraigncd in Justice Wood
mans court this morning. Jesse Cox
,cprcscntcd tho defendants and Assist
ant City Prosecutor lines represented
,he prosecution. Mr.. Cox moved to dis
charge the men as there was no written
complaint.
"WcwiIl have complaints, never fear"
was Hines rotort, and complaints were
made out, some for resisting an officer III
the discharge OF his duty and others for
clryia. concealed weapons and disor-
Lesly conduct.
Officer c. ]. Gould, who tool; part in
the raid, was the first witness. Gould
told the story OF the atiaiI. Myself and
seven other officers" said he, "wont to
the saloon at 81 West Lake street. 1t
was crowded with men. They were cx-
citcliv discussing different meetings and
cursing the police force. Then VIC went
up stairs OF the third and fourth floor
where meetings were in progress and
broke them up"
"What were they doing in the halls?"
asked Attorney Cox.
"Oh, Just holding meeting. Just
kinder wrangling with one another"
what did YOU arrest them for?"
"Disordcrly conduct"
"What were they doing that was dis
ordcrly?"
Il cussing and swearing and raising
h"
"What did they say?"
81 heard several say that tho -
-- ought to be blown to Ii.
We arc stronger than ever before and
will do it yet"
Officer Wesslcr was the next witness
anG told about the same story. He
heard ole OF the anarchists say "the
Mayor is ID dude and We will
hang uim.'
Officer William Howe, the next wit
ness, was in the front rank OF the squad
oipolicc. This officer had an armiul Of
Eei flags which he had torn from the
Platform oil the hall. One OF them had
the words American Group No. l." in
scribcd on it in gilt letters.
That's 4 terrible thing to have on a
fac" said Mr.. Cox. ".Why did you bring
that tlay along?"
because it is the emblem OF anarchy,
anl ,vn ,rnptal :, fnr nNiInp,nf ~
After several other officers had tcsti-
fed to the same effect, the prosecution
announced that all their witnesses had
been heard Mr.. Cox said that he in
tended examining all the men arrested,
and the justice continued the case till .
o'clock in the afternoon.
THE PRISONERS EXAMINED.
When court assembled again, the
The crowd OF onlookers was somewhat
less. Lawyer Cox began the examina-
ion OF the seventeen defendants and
completed that OF four OF them.
Each will be examined singly and the
case gives evidence OF being along one.
The defense attempted to prove by its
witnesses that tho meeting raidcd by
the otiicerc was a pcaceable one, and
mad no connection with any anarchistic
move whatever, being merely regular
business meeting OF the socialists pub
lIshlng ocicty.
This evening a bill was filed in the
circuit court by Thomas Grief to re-
strain Mayor Washburnc, Supeyinten-
cent of Police McClaughey, Inspector
Lewis and Capt. Mahoncy from enter
ing upon the premises owned by COM
H!aiA&nt or from interfering with any
meetings or assemblies held in the hall.
Inc case Will probably come up before
Judge Tullcy tomorrow. Both Mayor
WaShburnc and Chief McClaushey to-
day, in speaking OF the arrest OF the
anarchists ut Grief Hall, said that tho
oDlcct OF the meeting and organized
pot OF the anarchists was not 70 COM
mt any acts OF violence, not to throw
bombs, but 10 keep up an anarchistic
asi!%HoE 10 convince foreigners that
lineage will not DO safe place to come
10 IN the Worlds Fair year, either 10
exhibit goods or to see them.
MtsT BE SToPPED.
Tie action Of Inspector Lewis in
breaking up the meeting has my ap-
pFoval," said the mayor. "Tllc in
cendiary uttcrances OF the anarchists
must be stopped, ior they arc likely to
Co Chicago incalculablc injury, lar
greater than any damage they could do
py overt violence. They might blow
Gpa building or two, but they could
not get control OF the city, and aside
from any loss OF lilo there might be,
me loss would not probably be over
say 1 hundred thousand dollars. But
lie effect OF this agitation il allowed 10
continue, and believe that is its oh.
lect, would be to give Chicago bad
reputation, 10 keep millions OF capital
aT,wsay. and work irrepar0ble harm to tho
Worlds Fair by frightening Foreigners
INTO believing Chicago an unsafe place
10 which 10 send their goods or come to
themselves.
Nv hat will your. policy bc?"
To suppress with firm hand nil
meetings held to advocate anarchists
principles"
will You revoke Grieir's licenses for
ms saloon and hall, ii the policemen
recommend it%
y y will revoke any license that the po-
Ice recommend"
MAJOR McClaughncy expressed the
9 same view OF the purpose OF the present
agitation.
