Cmciao, August 9 August Spies
and Michael Schwab were both on the
witness stand today. Rumors had been car
rent that Spies would tike the stand and
that served to attract the largest crowd
that haa thus far visited judgi Gray's
court. Out of doors the crowd a as
large as the one within the court room.
Women in two or threes were there
with, their escorts,' but thero' wasno
room for them, and they were turned
away. All windows in the courtroom
were hermetically seaicd, the doors were
tightly closed and the atmosphere was
as . horrid aa the neighborhood ot a
blast furnace. -J.
WelI, proceed, gentlemen," said the
caart to the counsel for the defense.
The anarchists' cooscl were holding a
close consultation. Their heads rested
together over the table and they whis
pered long and earnestly. Finally they
retired to discuss an important matter
A quarter of an hour elapsed atyd then
the counsel for the- defense entered and
defendant Sohawb was put on the stand.
"Where do you liver asked .Foster.
"in cell 1W iri the county jail."
(Laughter.) . ,
"Now, if this is repeated," said the
court,-very angry at this exhibition of
evity, "1 11 clear the room.
Schwab went on with his story. His
family lives in Florimond street He
eft homo the evening of May 4th, at 7:40.
He looked at the clock before departing
from the house, and is sure of the time.
hen he went to the Arbeiter Zeitung Gf-
ticfi. ilere .a communication 1 was re
ceived over the telephone, requesting
that a speaker be sent to Deerine's.
Spies was the speaker wanted', but he
was at the Hay market and Schwab ha.s-'
toned there to find him, but failed, and
saw bis brother-in-law, Randolph
Schnaubel. They took a car, east to
Clark's and there: -boarded another go
ng up Clybourne avenue to Deering's.
ochwab does not know what time be
reached the factory, but he spoke to the
strikers for about twenty minutes, then
pped in, a saloon and had glas of
beer and some lunch, and got back homo
about 11 .o'clock.
"WereWou ever in the alley at Crone
Brothers that night with the spies ? "
rmOf Bir. f j
".Did you walk west on Randolph
street with Spies two blocks,' then re
turn with him i
"No,! sir."
"Did you see Spies that, night f"
!No, air." i j
"Did you see Spies hand your
brother-in-law a package that night in
an alley at Crane Brothers,! and did
you say anything like this; 'If that
won t be enough, shall we get another
one?'"
"No, sir."
"Did you see Spies at all that
night?" . r
"No, sir."
"When did Von see him at all for the
last time that day?";
"in the afternoon. I did not, see him
again until the next morning." i -
.Before Schwab left the stand State s
attorney Grionell asked: "Do you know
Where Schnaubel u?"
He replied that he had been in jail
a long time and knew very little news
of the outside world. .
"He is in Cincinnati, isn't hi?"
"Yes."
The cross-examination of Sohwab was
conducted by State's attorney Griunell.
Sohwab said he had been a member of
the international society since itjuoxg sa
nation, r
"Are you an anarchist?"
"It depends, on what you mean.
There are several definitions of that."
"Answer my question. Are you an
anarchist?" ,
"I can't answer that."
"Do vou remember that article of
May 4, which appeared in the Arbeiter
Zaitung" urjctedto.
. "Have you not before your
been an advocate of force?" Objected
to." :
The Court ruled tbattbe btate is con
fined in its ro8B-eximination to the
specific questions brought out on the
examination in chief. Immediately af
ter Schwab had been excused, Spies
took the stand. He appeared to be
thoroughly self possessed. He spoke
with a strong accent. He said hi name
was August Vincent Theodore spies;
thst be,, was 31 years old, and com? to
th:s country in 1872 Ho had been a
member of the socialistic publish
ing society which controlled the
Aibeiter Zntuog. He had been
tho editor of ' that paper for
six vears anl received a salary of
$18 per week. He was at the "Black
road 'meeting-Way 6, at the invitation
on the commission from the lumber
shovers union i There was a crowd of
3,000 present. Balthazar Riu was at
the meeting and introduced spies to tnc
chairman of the meeting Spies saM "My
Bpeoch was commonplace. 1 tuld
the men to stand by tho union. While
speaking somo one cried out in an un
known language and three or four bun
dred men detached themselvei from the
meeting and made an attack on Mccor
mick's." Spies said he kept on speaking
for a short time, when ho toi wnt
toward the fac'ory. He said he saw
some people behind soodo railroa 1 ears
and otners running wane the police
were firing at them. "The sight of
this," said Spies, "made my blood
boil."
Witness cuciarea tnat wbiie he was
standing tnere a young iriebman came
to him and tld him that six men were
dead and that thirty had betn wounded
Spies then went to the Arbeitier Zeitung
office and wrote an article which ap
peared next morning, headed "Blood J."
"Did you write the "ReVenge' circu
lar?" inquired the attorney for the de
fence. "Yes; only I did not write the word
Revenge' "
"Can you tell how it happened to be
in the the circular?" j
"I cannot."
"Hew many circulars were distribu
ted?" .-.'.'I'
. "About 25,000 "
"How soon was it written after you
returned to the office?' 1
"Immediately.' j
"At that time werejyou excited?"
"I was. I knew frJom experience of
the pas that this butchering of the peo
ple was dono lor the purpose' of 4efeat
ing the eight-hour movement. "
The State objected and tho remark
iwas ruledSout. ?
TKe witness said het tended the Hay
martt.t' meeting. He saw a copy of the
circular closing with " WorkingmeDi
come armed." He said he could not
attend the meeting unless the line was
taken out. Fischer , was sent to the
printer to have the line taken out. The
witness said he went to the meeting in
company with his brother Henry. Ar
riving there he Baw toothing to apeak
from; saw a wagon near corner Randolph
street. Some one suggested that a
wagon should be taken to Randolph
street, but he said that the crowd would
interfere with thej street cars there. Be
fore he began to speak ho asked where
Parsons was, and was told that be was
addressing a meeting at the corner of
Randolph and lialetcd streets, and he
went - there with Spies and Schnaubel
to find him. Witness said' he then re
turned to the wagon with Schnaubel.
He did not see. Schwab, as Schnaubel
paid ho had gone to Deering's to address
a meeting there. !
"Did you go into the alley with
Schnaubel ?" j
"No." :
Witness" stated that Schnaubel could
not speak English, and he ocnld rot
have conversed with him in that lan
guage.
Spies said he . made an ordinary
speech at the Haymarket. He said he
told the meeting that the masses were
degraded. He then saw Parsons and
the latter began -his speech, ' He re
membered unimportant portions of
Parsons' speech, bu could not remem
ber what Fielden csnd. He said he re
mained on the wagen during all the
speaking. He saw the police on Ran
dolph street and heard Capt. Ward give
orders to disperse. He. said that he
was helped off the wagon by his brother
Henry and another man. When he had
reached the sidewalk he heard an ex
plosion, "and I thought.'' said the wit
ness, "that the police were firing can
non to frighten the : people." He uaid
he went to Zepf's hall when the'firing
began. ,
"Did you light the bomb?" the wit-
nees was asked.
Spies smiled, showed hiB teeth and re
plied: "I never did."
lie said he did not see Schnaubel in
an alley and denied Gilmer's story. He
said that the interview which Wilkin
son, a reporter, had with him last Jan
uary was substially true..
Spies said he had had two dynamite
shells in his office for three years. They
were given to him by a man who sailed
for New Zealand. He had told a re
porter in January, as printed, that there
were d,UUO armed socialists in Chicago
and described to him how the police and
soldiers could be fought. He had told
a reporter.as stated on tho trial, that dy
namite was tbe "child of the future and
would prove "a great lcvelcr." Spies
next made what the prosecution claims
wad a. fatal admission fully corroborating
their claim that the "armed section"
had a secret caucus and bad prepared for
an attack on the police. Spies said he
wrote theword "Ruhe," which had ap
peared in tho. Arbeiter Zoitung May 4.
tic uaviu iuu uiguk ueiure 119 sucuivcu
the following letter: "Please insert in
today's letter-box the word 'Rhhe,' in

know it had aoy import, but next day

section to have that word as a sign of
warning that they should keep their
powder dry for uso against the police
lie told Rau that that was foolish and
atked Fischer to inform the armed sec
lion that it was a mistake. Spies de
scribed his arrest by the police. He
declared that the superintendent of
police called him "a -Dutch dog,
a" tan . I . a v
"bound and "wheip and made an
attack on him. Spies said ho kept dyn
amite in his office to experiment with
and carried a revolver, thinking it was
a good thing to be armed. He declared
that on the night of ihe Haymarket
riot, however, he had left his revolver
with ex-alderman Stauffdr.

Chicaoo, August 9. Late, advices
from' the; section of Wisconsin devas
tated by forest fires yesterday place the
losses by the burning of the village of
Spencer at nearly $400,000, instead of
$20O,O0Q,"as first reported. There was
a large fire in Marshficld, 150,000 feet
of chair stock at Webster's factory being
destroyed. The jtown was saved by
hard work.
A dispatch from . Neilsville Bays :
"Great fears ar- expressed ii- this city
on account of the extensive forest fires,
which are within four miles of the city,
and coming nearer The mayor and
council have ordered the fire department
to be in readiness at any moment. Hew
ettsvillo, seven miles west of here, was
burned to the ground yesterday. Loss
not estimated yet, but it will be very
great. Dell's Dam, six miles west of
here, is also in imminent danger. If
rain dos not fall inside of twenty-four
hours it is feared this city will also
suffar greatly."
Milwaukee, August 9. A late dis
patch from Marquette, Michigan, says
that city id id danger of destruction by
forest fiica, which make the air densely
smoky. A slaughter-ho ise in the city
limits has been destroyed and the nitro
glycerine works of the Lake Superior
powder company are surroanded by fire.
The men are fighting the firo with des
peration. An opportune chaDge of wind
saved the new city park at Presque Iile
yesterday. The day is Oppressively hot
and the fire-fighters are suffering greatly.
At Appleton a fire at midnight de
stroyed the paper mill f of Richmond
Bros., causing a loss of $60,000; ineur
ance3,500. AtNeillvillefires have been
burning in tbe woods for several days.

XLIVJtN PIfiSOXS KILLED AMD ON HUNDKXD
AND THIRTY WOUNDED.
Biijast, August 9. During the riot
ing which occurred here from Saturday
evening to ah early hour this morning
eleven persons' were killed and 130 seri
ously wounded. A majority of the in
jured persona have gun-shot wounds.
The rioting was renewed to-day and
a fierce encounter took place been the
soldiers and the mob, in which a num
ber were wounded. A soldier at dote
quarters fired at a boy, shattering his
hand. The soldier was arrested.
Reinforcements of troops td the num
ber of 1,200 have arrived in Belfast to
day. Noon. All attempts to stop the riot
ing have been unsuccessful, and the vi
olence of the mob is increasing. Thirty
rioters have been wounded. The po
lice keep up a merciless fire upon the
mob.
The city, owing to the wreck and
ruin of tbe houses, presents a deplor
able aspect. Its aspect is similar to
that of Paris after the commune. It
is feared that numerous deaths, result
ing from the riots, have taken place
which will never be heard of. lhe
hospitals are taxed to their utmost to
accommodate the great number of
wounded persons in heed of admittance
A painful feature of the riots is the
number of children wounded. Yester
day a boy was shot while returning from
Sunday sohool. Today a little girl was
shot on the street and it is thought
fatally woundedi She was carried away
abnarentlv lifeless. Train loads of
troops are constantly arriving.
An incident of the disorders is as fol
lows: Mrs! Mcllwain Saturday har
angued a small crowd of neighbors in
regard to the riots and roundly abused
the pohce for hnng upon the peoplei
She afterwards expressed the fear that
sho would lose her life on account of
her speech. She therefore, in order to
avoid recognition, put on j black dress
Sunday, instead of a whte one, which
sue wore Saturday, lhis precaution,
tinaratror f.il...l In Bmtrit hpr Yp.St.rT-
day, during the progress of the riotjl
she ran to her door to gather in Bome
straying children. A bullet struck hti
in the head' aud she fell lifeless in the
doorway.
The a-p ct cf .fairs was so threatcr
ing at noon today that the authorities
ordered all the taverns in the city to be
closed until tomorrow evening. ! Groups
of men are assembled eyerywliere ex
citedly diBcussicg the situation. The
military early this morning dispersed
several rival mobs at the point of the
bayonet.

Alderman Edwards said if there were
any defects in the ordinance he would
be glad to have them corrected. It was
an important matter. Alderman W. N.
Jones spoke of section 8, and said ho
thought tbe idea was that the or d man 00
was accepted because locomotives were
not to be used and that there was to be no
privilege, of transporting freight. He
also spoEo of depots, and said that there
had been talk of the location of depots
in rear of the department of agrioult jre
and near the Centennial graded sohool.
this was all agreed as being in accord
ance with the spirit of the ordinances.
Alderman Engelhard off '.red the follow
ing amendment : "To strike out tho
words tho tracks' in seotion 2. and in
serting 'and for twelve inob.es out id 1 if
tie rails,' Lost.
Alderman Leach offered an amend
ment to section 9, making it rather
f-tronger.
Mr. Busbee said that the gentleman

Philadelphia, August 9. Judge f
Butler, in the United States district '
0 nrt, rendered a decision ftoday in the
application of Samuel L. Clemens (Mark
TWn) in behalf of ft L. Webster &
Co. , of Hartford, Conn. , for a preliminary
iij notion to restrain tho sale of copies of
"U. S. Grant's Personal Memoira " -
in this city by John Wanamaker & Co,
In his opinion, Judge Butler says : j
"If this case was substantially identi
cal with Publishing Company vs. Ester, -recently
decided by the circuit court for -
Uhio, we would esteem it our duty to
follow the ruling in that case, and gratt
a writ. It is not, however. In some tu
torial iespects the eases are clearly die
tinguiehable. The one before us seems
to resemble Clemens v. lstes,22 Fid. Rep.
1889, in which a writ was refused. As
the question must be farther considered
on the fiorl hearing, whan the fets may
be more fully developed, it would be
unwise to discuss it at this time.
"After 'a full consideration of the
complainants' rights, - ss disclosed ty
