light the whole situation and destroys the force of
much of the testimony introduced at the trial.
For there has been any such extensive conspiracy
as the prosecution claims, the police would have

next policeman who might assault lin Consequently,
the fact that the police did discover any conspiracy
before the Haymarket affair shows almost conclusvey
that such extensive combination could have existed
As further bearing the question of creating evil
dence reference is made to the following afhdavits:
