which killed and wounded sixty.Jix ont OF
$50 policemen, in order To remind he pub
lie that the evidence proved the anarchists
20 be murderers under the comnbn Law Of
England and Illinois; that the terdict OF
the jury was right and the sentei,ce Just.
The conspiracy was proved; tie bomb
throwing Was beyond dispute. es1d Judge,
Gary demonstrates that ''she Chicago an
archists were not tried TO. being anarch-
lists, but for procuring murder q. b done
and being themselves therefore guilty OF
murder" Judge g airy POINTS out that the
law permits no man TO acviss nslrder, to
prepare with others TO commit murder. to
b present when murder II sctrhily COM
mitted and then TO 60 free becauis nobody
saw him throw the bomb. IL was not
clearly proved that any one of the con-
victed anarchists threw tae boihb, bat Il
was proved that the bomb was identical
with . lot found in possession 81 one OF
the conspirstors: 1t was proved shat they
had all counseled and pasticipas Ted In the
manufacture Of bombs TO be used in the
war against society which they Christianity
advised and preached. It Was proved that
they all belonged to the InternattonaIists,
. society whose creed il to ovefturn all
governments by force.
Under the common Law Of elnspiracy
the act Of one eonspiratos 10 Il . act Of
each of his co-conspiratora. even lwhen the
particular act has net been agres.d upon,
but IL done in the exercise of tl!s actor's
own discretion for the aceompli4 amsnt of
q common purpose. Judge Galy might
have quoted the celehrstsd Cito street
conspiracy, for which Thistlewoo?i and his
associates were executed in Londsn during
the ministry of Lord Livsrpool.l Thistle
wood was the only one Of these anarchists
that actually did murder. but h}s associ-
ates. who were privy to the flot were
hanged a. promptly as Th5stlewcS'd. This
kind Of anarchism has lately bees brought
freshly to mind BY the trial Of twb anarch-
lists in Paris for the murder Of third
who had been suspected Of being an in-
former and had been iaurderti BY two
members Of the group detailed 4 assassi-
nate him. It was shown ~ the s!stimony
| in this trial that tho creei Of ss.archism
teaches that capitalists are treated a. the
most proper subjects for assassi tation by
| dynamite, poison and the kniil, on the
ground that man "who has uslrped the
means OF production which prlperly be-
long to society rs q whole, shohld DO re-
| moved as q hindrance 10 sociaH develop
ment." Next to capitalists come She police
and magistrates and ali the st>eratives
high and low Of the machinery OF Law and
order. It was under this paeeeps Of
anarchism that Spies ard his associates
preached the murderous sxtinctisn Of the
Chicago police.
OF course the assassin. alton oT an an
archistio spy 10 in logicas accord$>cs with
these anarchistio princirlss Titrs have
been some recent ilubtration4 Of this
anarchistic creed Of murder ins our own
+ country. The anarchist that stnsobed and
shot Frick, the manager II the Homestead
Iron Works, acted in strict Obedience to
the first article Of his creed. fhich de-
clares for the assassination of capitalists.

ton for the plot was the refuSal of the
