FOR THE ANARCHIST.
Famous Speech of Judge Gary from
the Chicago Bench.

The recent death OF Judge Joseph E. Gary,
who for forty-three consecutive years on the
Superior Court bench in Chicago. recalls to mind
the historical trial of the anarchists responsible
for the Haymarket riot which occurred in May.
1886. The men were tried before Judge Gary
and found guilty Of murder in the first degree
and it devolved on him TO impose sentence.
What he had to say at that time concerning
riot and disorder is of especial interest because
there seems to be an increasing contempt for
law
Addressing the prisoners, he spoke, in part. as
follows:
Il quite we'll aware that what you have
said, although addressed to me, has been said to
the world, yet nothing has been said which weak
ems the force of the proof the conclusions
therefrom upon which the verdict is based You
are all men of intelligence and know that If the
verdict stands il must be executed. The reasons
why it shall stand I have already sufficiently
stated in deciding the motion for a trial.
am sorry beyond any power of expression for
your unhappy condition and for the terrible
events that have brought it about. l shall ad-
dress to you neither reproaches nor exhortation.
What l shall say shall be said in the faint
hope that a few words from place where the
people of the State Of Illinois have delegated the
authority 10 declare the penalty OF a violation
of their laws, and spoken upon an occasion so
solemn and awful this, may come to the
knowledge of and be needed by the ignorant,
deluded and misguided men who have listened
to your counsels and followed your advice.
81 say in the faint hope. for if are per-
suaded that because OF business differences,
whether about labor or anything else, they may
destroy property and assault and beat other men
and kill the police if they, in the discharge of
their duty, interfere to preserve the peace there
is little ground to hope that they Will listen 10
any warning.

Herr August Bebel. the leader Of the German

THE K0EPENICK AFFAIR.
Description of the Man Who Deceived the
Mayor and Got the Towns Cash.

The chief actor in the serio-comic Koepenck
case Wilhelm Voght, who was arrested days
after he made prisoner of the Mayor and con-
f1scated the treasury of the town which the ad-
venture has made famous. born in 1S49 and is a
shoemaker by trade. He has served twenty-seven
in prison for various crimes and the pictures
OF him copied from those file in the Berlin police
department show face which would have be-
trayed him had the pancsricken Mayor studied il.
In its description of him the 'Berner Tageblatt'
says: The face is wthered. and the skin leads one
to believe that II does often in contact
with water. The head is perfectly bald except for
fringe Of thin hair over and behind the The
