in memroy Of the anarchists VINO were
executed ds the result OF the Hay
market murder.
Captain Wheeler and number OF
men were on the Platform as she be-
gan to speak.
There was nothing out of the ordinary
in the FIRST words of Mrs. Parsons
Her A5n, she said was like his father,
and she was teaching him to take l3
the great struggle Tor which his father
had lad down his life and where that
father had LETT OIL. she predicted that
the day would come, although the feet
OF the executed men had ceased TO
travel the earth, when million bodies
would move on their legs, and That
then from the graves in Maldheim the
social revolution would spring.
Ali the time MIS-. Parsons was get
ting more vehement in her manner and
more pronounced in her utterances.
Arriving a a description Of the manner
in which the four men went 20 the
had charge of the hanging hurried
through with their work because they
feared to look honest men in the face.
Then came the climax. Raising her
voice to lis highest pitch she cried:
u ask you. for what did they suffer?
What crime had they committed? l
ask you, hideous murderers, you gang
of murderers from Gary, Grinnel and
Governor OgieSby down TO the gang of
hired police spies. [ ask
Here Captain Wheeler came across
the stage and before Mrs. Pars'ons could
say any more led her from the scene.
Instantly the hall was in an uproar.
Men shouted and gesticuldted wildly,
and for just few seconds there was a
move toward the stage.
Chairman Apple grasped the situation
and called for order. and it was par
TALLY restored
In the meantime Captain Wheeler and
Mrs. Parsons were exchanging courIe-
sizes in the wings.
What are you trying to do to me?'
demanded Mrs. Parsons, her eyes fairly
glistening, prevent me from telling the
people why you murdered my husband?
Well, 1 will tel them"
Suiting the action to the word, she
FASTENED to the stage and fairly
shouted, While she shook her clenched
fist in the direction Of the back part of
the hail. You murderers, 1 hurl it in
your teeth
Captain Wheeler was soon at her
side and again led her away Then
the house was thrown into another up
roar, and some one shouted. Forward"
Ike good judgment of the chairman
was again exercised, and Most, who,
in The meantime, had arrived, was in
troduced to gain the attention of the
audience. After quiet had been re-
Mrs. Parsons left the stage and
took her seat in the center of the hall.
Mr.. divers speech was a defense of
anarchisln. He said it was not the de-
sire of anarchists to tear down or de-
stroy anything, but rather to build up.
Herr Most was not very radical in
his remarks when he saw Mrs. Parsons
was interrupted. He simply gave re-
of the events from the
time the first anarchist meeting was
by the police until the hang
lug o. the four men in 1887. In cloHng.
he said that anarchy had not been
killed by the hanging of the four men.
No" he continued, anarchy is not
dead, but il IS getting stronger each
year and will live on forever"
