Their Death Knoll Sounded. OTTAWA , 111. , Sept 14. The supreme court this morning delivered nn opinion In the anarchist case affirming the judgment ot tho'court below. Execution Is to take place November 11 , between 10 and 4 o'clock. The- opinion In the case was written by Judge Magruder , of the Chicago district , and Is an able exposition of tlio law and previous In terpretations thereof by eminent jurists In tills country , as well as of the courts bearing upon tlio alleged and perhaps real errors In record. In this work he was ably helped by each of the other six distinguished judges , who made him their sDokc.sman and through him ex pressed tliolr unanimous decision. The opinion covers 225 pages ot closely written inanuscrlpt'aud contains about 50,000 words. In this case , says tlio opinion , the judgment of thu court below Is alllrmed as to all and as to each andovory ono of the defendants. An opinion has been prepared setting fortli the reasons of the afilrmatlon of judgment Judge Sheldon announced that he had con curred In the opinion. Judge Mulkoy says that while ho agrees as to the opinion , and also the general views of the court , he docs not wish to bo understood as holding that tbe record Is free from errors , for he does not think It Is. But none of the errors , In his opinion , were of such a serious character as required the reversal of the judgment bheldon said that lu this case the court ordered that the sentence of the superior court of Cook county of the defendants In Indictment August Spies , Michael Schwab , Samuel Fieldou , A. It. Parsons , Adolph Fischer , George Englo , Louis Llncg bo carried Into effect by the sheriff of Cook county on the llth day of November next , on Friday , between the hours of 10 o'clock In the forenoon and 4 o'clock In the afternoon of tbat day. COTJUT IIOOM SCENES This morning Justice Magruder began the announcement of the decision. Justbe- l fore the opening of court every ono seemed to have a feeling thai something was going to happen , Before the hour for theconvenlng of court lawyers and reporters seamed to have that feeling and conversed with each other In subdued tones. Barker , thu janitor , who has waited upon every justice of the supreme court that sat on thn bench at Ottawa tip-toed around In the opening and dustlne of the court room as if he were afraid of breaking the deathly stillness that pervaded the entire building. Deputy Smith faltered and his volco trembled as ho pro nounced , "Hear yo ; hear ye. " As the justices tiled Into the court room , headed by Chief Justice Sheldon , they appeared more dignified than ever. Tlio chief justice waived his associates to their scats oven more stately than his wont , and his nod to the sheriff was more stiff , and his "open court" less audible than on the previous days of the term. Justice Magruder appeared flushed and nervous as ho entered the court rooui , the cause of which was evidenced a few mo ments later when Chief Justice Sheldon turned to him , and In a voice which would have been Inaudible nave for the deathly stillness which pervaded the room , said : "Justice Magruder , have you any an nouncements to make ? " "JUDOMRNT AFrillSIKD. " The flushed appearance of the justice changed to that of pallor and his volco was husky as ho said : "In August Spies and others against the people of the state of Illi nois , No , 50 , advisement docket. " The chief justice nervously turned the leaves of thn court docket to the case Indicated , when the justlcu read the decision of the court In the "anarchist case. " As ho com menced reading ho regained ills composure- , his voicn was clear and distinct until the order fixing the death penalty and the dates of execution was reached , when his reading became labored , his volco husky and hlf manner showed that It was with great'bmo- tion that ho performed the duty ho had bean glscn by his associates to perform. Having voiced tlio decision of the court In the mosl celebrated case It has been called upon tc decide , tnejustlco who made the announce ment at once left thu bencli and rot lied tc his room. The oral announcement was : "Judgment alllrmed. No. 59 on ttio advisement calendar , Spies et nl. vs. the people. In this case the judgment of the court below Is afilrmcd as ti all the plaintiffs In error. An opinion has been prepared setting forth the reasons foi the affirmation of judgment. " SYNOrsiS OK T1IK OPINION. After citing the case and Its origin , Judge Magrudor. speaking ably for hlmselt and the court , said : About thu 1st of May , lbU , the worklngmcn of Chicago and other industrial centers were greatly worked upon by outside intliu'iico and gioatly excited , especially as tc the eight-hour movement , etc. In the inklsl of this excitement a meeting was hold May 4 , ItoO , at tlie Haymarket , which was addressed by the defendants Spies , Parsor.s and * ielden and while making the closing speech at some time between 10 and 11 o'clock In the evening several companies ol policemen , numbering ibO men In all , marched Into tliu crowd from the station on Desplatnes street and ordered the meeting Flopped. AH soon as tlte order was given some ono throw tlio bomb which raided tlo : fatalities. It Is undisputed thai the bomb was thrown and that II Caused the death of Decan. It Is conceded that none ot the convicted threw the bomb with his own hands. The plain tltfn lu error are charged with beiuir accessories series to the fact Some of tlio comt'ij In diriment charges thu defendants with beinu present , aiding and abetting in tlm ( blowing if tlie bomb , others that , u'ot being pnsetr KHA. they advised , encouraged and abetteel such throwing. " The court then quotes chapter 3 , division 3 , sections 2 and a of the revised statutes of the Mate ot Illinois , and the Judge says : "If thoelefondants advised and en couraged , aided or abetted In the killing ot the policemen , they are as guilty as It they had taken these men's HTCS wltn their own hands. If any ot them stood by and saw or aided In tlio throwing ot the bomb , each of the aiders and abettors are as utility as him who did the fatal deed. It Is charged that the defendants wore united and had conspired to do this awful work and that their awful design was fulfilled. " The opinion shows that while not perhaps n combination of the same culprits , the desire of their sev eral parts and put poses wns to accomplish the same end. Tim questions presented are : Did tlie defendants have a common pur pose or design to murder these police ? Did they combine lor that purpose and was the result of such combination death to tlio men who \\oro the guardians of thn law ? Who was tlio thrower of the bomb that Iliod Decani1 "Tho bomb was round and as big as a base all , " says a credible witness , and another fitness says : "I saw tlie bomb and know ; was a round bomb. " The court follows in description of various onibs In use or known to anarchist sclenco , nil correctly mentioned four different va- it-ties , and concluding that those , or the nest of them weie made by Louis , inirir , judging from what had been ound In his possession and his acquaintance vitli William Sellgor , who was a German arpontor. and made his appearance In Chi- ftsoln 1885. and who seamed to bo an expert n bomb maklne , andlu March , 1SSG , brought 'ynomito there. The court quotes some experiments made y tiiesH gentlemen in their peculiar trade , 11 of which goes to show that these two men vero experts in their business. The evidence hews that these two men on April 30 , IBbO ho Friday before tlio Haymarket meeting net , and LlngR brought to Seller's house a ante wooden box , 3 feet long and Irom 10 to S Inches high , and that It contained dyna- unto ; that he ( Llngg ) spent that evening In tilling the dynamite lute gas pipes and rosru- ar shells. Ho was also assisted by a number if persons , and Sellgcr was among them. Jpwards of fifty bombs were Un shed that afternoon and It ap pears to have been continued till bo very evening of the Haymarket meeting. L'ho record goes on impllcatlnz others , os- iccially ono Houbner , who was scon work- ng at some cell fuse , and Llngg , Sollgcr , riiollan and Herman were frequently en gaged In casting and milling In Sollger's kitchen. Then follows a description of ttio iromlscs. Pieces of the shells made by jlngfc were subjected * to chemical analysis ind were found to bo composed of a certain percentage of tin and the remainder of lead ind antimony , iron and zinc , and out ot tlm our bombs examined the pelceutage varied mt.sllglitly and pieces taken from Dcgan's jody and these found at Lingg's liouss after ils arrest run tlio sainu in composition. The evidence goes on to further Implicate Linga's connection with this terrible affair so closely that escape for him would bo impossible. After fastening the evidence upon Ijlncg , thojcotirt asks these questions : Why did Llngg nuke the bomb which killed DeganV To answer tills It becomes necessary to ex- omlno the character of the association with which these defendants were connected , and its aims. There wore no questions about [ his organization , and but little about Its ob- lects. Its plattorm was published by a cer tain bureau of Information called the Alarm and AibltorXeltung. The court quotes many familiar extracts from tlie latter incendiary sheet. Among thorn are tha peculiar ideas of communists abolishment of titles to land a sort of freedom that Is far boyotid or ages lu the rear of modern civilization , and In some of these articles the -charge is made that the state , cliurches.schools and press are in the pay and under tlio sway of capitalists and that laborers must overthrow these pow ers by physical strength. It Is admitted and even positively asserted tbat such a thing as right of property Is not only a myth but a great wrong to those who by lazln ss and other faults have nevorearncd property , or by tliolr want of thrift cannot keep such as they may have had. 'Ibis association , as Judge Magruder aptiv expressed It In his very log ical opinion , "Subverts all law. " His honor goes further In his descriptive mention of the gentlemen who came to a very f reo coun try and tried to run it at sight , for he says : "These gentlemen should read the constitu tion ana our laws and then they will find they are hemmed In with law , but yet the yoKO is so light that none will feel It" And so his honor goes on : "There was another newspaper , called the Alarm , mentioned bo- foro. and defendant Fiolden owned some stock In It and It was under the management of fiugel and other of these defendants. " The court at some : length but with e.ogent argument proceeded to connect the other fel onies In the case tor Instance , that these defendants wore tlio chief movers and centre of any and all tlie communistic meet ings In Chicago , and that they were there in poison and were always pronounced leaders of the rod flag. "Tho evidence was , " says his honor , "that there were twonty-llvo to thirty labor unions lu Chlcasro at that time , embracing a membership of from 15,000 to 16,000. A largo majoilty of those men weio bonost and industrious , working daily for their dally bread , well-meaning men , and had no thought of anarchy , but the evidence also shows that the uujmbers of each and all ot thn many 'groups' of anarchists distributed throughout tbe city have assimilated them selves with those lawful organizations. What their purpose was in HO doing was ob vious from their prewedtire. " Turning again to tlio Haymarket meeting , thn court says : "The assemblage for any ordinary purpose would have been lawful , but it was not conducted as a lawful assem blage. Tha prior arming and drilling of the "troups" even , was unlawful , as a violation of the militia laws of the state of Illinois , which provide that 'It shall bo unlawful for any company to drill or paradn with arm- , in the stale without authority. ' " Regarding the irrolovanttestlmony cited by the defense , tlie court says : 'lt was claimed In one of the organs ot the dynamite throw ers that a bomb In the hands ot ono man would bo equal to a regiment of mon , and j while such testimony was Irrelevant , yet 11 contained no point to justity a re versal of judgment As specimens of the weapons by which depraved met : or men with no heart could usn against theli fellow creature's nothing in modern times can approach the ) exquisite moans by these an- aiehlsts. " The court very carefully explains the lav , as to conHplracy in all Its phases and quotes extensively from eminent authorities. Tlu court fmther says it l.s a mistake to assume that the defendants cannot bo charged will advlslnc : , encouraging , aiding and abottluii an unknown principal in the perpetration ol a crime and following that point his lionoi elves a very familiar and trite and well knwi eiiiamplo and follows it with a lone list ol tollable authorities. It Is very clear that the principle of law decided by many court ! that "the man who being present aiding and abutting or assisting , hath advised , en couraged , nlded , or abetted tlio perpetration of crime , " may bo considered a * principals , And , says the court , "so Is the case at tlu bar , consequently some of th.'so defendant ! tire correct ! ) charitable as accessories bitfon the fact. " Among Ilio Instructions for the defense tlu court below had , although the defendants , or some of them have said or publlshee their views to thn effect that social revolutioi should bo brought by force , and that the ofilcors of thu law should bo resisted , and tc this end dynamite should be used to tlio ex tent of taking human life , and that persons should arm to resist the law , that laws i should be throttled and killed , and although Mieli.'languago might cause persons to deslru ti carry out the advice given as aforesaid , am do an act which caused Officer Diegan'i death , yet the bomb may ha\e been throwi and Dice.in killed by some ono unfamllla with and unacquainted with the teachings o these bomb throwers. " Thu court hern outers Into elaborate anni ment upon different Instructions , nnd eon eludes by saying : "We think that tlio con I'M pursued on the tilal In regard to the mantle of empanellnc thu juryVus correct and li 1 accordance with the plain meaning otsectloi 21 , chapterS , revised statutes. W < cannot see that remarks of the state' : attorney In his argument to the Jur ; were marked by anv such Imnropnetles ai require leversal of judgment In the ! lengthy argument the counsel for the de fense made some other points of minor liu parlance , which are not noticed. As to thosi It Is sufficient to say \\c have considered ant do not regard them well taken. ThejiuU-e merit of the ciiwlnal court of Cook couuty I : affirmed. " Tlie opinion .was now Immkdto tne clerk ti ho tiled. Chief Justice Sheldon started to fix the date of execution when Judge Mulkey , Interrupting , said : "It Is not my Intention to oiler a separate opinion , as f should have done. I desire to avail myself of this occasion to say that while I concur In the conclusions reached , and also In tbe general views en- tercd In the opinion tiled , 1 do not wish to he understood as holding that the record is free from error , for I do not think It Is. 1 am , nevertheless , ot the opinion that none of the errors com plained of or * of such a serious character as to require the reversal of judgment. In view of the number of the defendants on trial , the great length of time consumed In the trial , the vast amount of testimony olfored and passed upon by the court , and the almost numberless rulings the court was required to make , thn wonderment to us Is that the errors were not more numerous and ot a more serious character. In short , atter having fully examined the record and giving the questions aris ing on It ray very best thought , with an earnest and conscientious desire to faithfully discharge * my whole duties , 1 am tully satisfied that the opinion reachedtlvln- dlcates the law , and does complete justice between tlm people and the defendants , fully warrantetl by the law and the evidence. " FIXINO TIIK KXKCUTION. Chief Justice Sheldon then made the fol lowing announcement : "In this case the court orders that tlio sentence of the crimi nal court of Cook county on the defendants In indictment August Spies. Michael Schwab , Samuel Fleldon , Albert U. Parsons , Adolph Fischer. George En gel , Louis Lingg bo carried Into effect by the sheriff of Cook county , Friday. November 11. next , be tween tlio hours of 10 o'clock In the foienoon and 4 o'clock In the afternoon of that day. NO I.AWYKHS PHF.SHNT. The anarchists had no counsel hern to represent them before the court as ho decision was announced , and no steps wore taken In their behalf. They have ifteon days to tlio a motion for a rehearing and thirty days troin the close of the term toile ilo a petition in support thereof. This wilt lot act as a stay of sentence , and they will have to show very strong grounds befoio the iourt would consent to issue a stay of execu- lon until a hearing could bo had next term. Thn Fooling in Chicago. CnicAfio , Sept 14. [ Special Telegram to .he UEK.J That the anarchists are men of ron nerve has been evinced by their actions .o-day In the face of the dreadful news which reached them. Not a tremor could bo observed in the demeanor of Parsons , Neebe , Fielding , Llngg and Fischer. They trav ersed their allotted spare with much assumed ang frold , smoked their cigars , and , In fact , from tliolr appearance , wore cntliely oblivi ous of the fate overhanging thorn , or had a alth In thn Ignorance of tlio state supreme court as to the legal Issues in the case and an abiding belief In the ability of the supiemo court of the Uhited States to savu their necks 'iom the haltor. Notslnco the returning of ; ho verdict of "Guilty" In the anarchists' .rial , nearly thirteen months agei , has there been cuch excitement In the city as was occa sioned by the announcemant of the decision of the supreme court. For months the people ple , not only of Chicago , but of the whole civilized world , have beeu waiting with feverish anxiety to learn what the supreme court would do In the famous case. Now that tlio opinion has finally boon rendered a feeling of great relief Is belli < experienced and outslele of anarchistic and socialistic cir cles the verdict Is universally approved. At the jail when the news was dolivaied to the condemned mon , there was but a momentary tremor shown by any of thoin , when , as noted above , they recovered their wonted composure. The announcement of the news caused the most Intense excitement In the jail building. Captain Schaack was notified early of tlio decision , and soon an additional force of officers wcro seen patrolling the vi cinity ot the jail. Detectives were also posted on nearly every approacli to the place and every suspicious character was watched. Even known newspaper men had dilllculty In getting a pass to the jail , and none of them wore permitted to Interview the prison ers. Ferdinand Spies , brother of August , received a dispatch from Ottawa as soon as the decision of tlio court was announced. Ho hastened to Captain Jilack's olllco and there met Nina Van Zandt and her mother , Mrs. EtiKCl and a half dozen more friends of the condemned men , who bad also received dispatches from Ottawa. Nina looked ghastly. Tears stood In her eyes and her face was white and drawn , Tears were stream ing down the checks of poor llttlo Mrs. Engcl , and all of the others looked far worse than they have at any t'rao ' since tlio trial began. Indeed , the verdict of tlio jury lu Judge Gary's court was nottiie blow to tlio anarchists and tlielr friends that the decision of the supreme court lias been. Captain Black looked pale and sorrowful and the entire party was a sad ono. Friends of the anarchists came hurrying In and were at once admitted to the private room , wbcro the consultations were held. Ferdinand Spies left about 10:30 : o'clock , the others remaining. It was an open secret In the of lieu that an appeal would bo made to the supreme court of the United States and to Governor O lesby for executive clemency. Captain Schaack , the police ofllcor mosl prominently ideiflllied with the trial , said : "I didn't expect any other decision. My work In the case Is almost finished and I have done no more tUan my duty. But pui this In and put It In so that every anarcliis In the city can see It. The law Is going to be t enforced and 1 will give such follows fall warning to keep away from the county jal aud thn police oflice , for theie will be semi mighty strict rules given out In regard t < prowling anarchists and others of tlieli kind.

" Mr. Purcell , of the state's attorney's of ticc. ran to the jail with the dispatch. Fol lowing on his heels was a messenger carrying a telegram for August Spies that hai been sent from Ottawa by an agent of tlu anarchists. The turnkey , who took the dis patch to cell " ) and shoved It through tin bars , lingered a moment to watch tlio effec' ' It would have on Spies. The anarchist tool the message , glanced frownlngly at the turn kuy , and then withdrew to the darker end o thu cell. In two minutes or so he calloi gently to the old man who sets as a deatl watch otitsldo his barred door and aske < him to hand the yellow telegram shee to Parsons.

They took seat1 at their cell doors and read newspapers anc books , smoked cigars , and ouco Ltnieir , the bomb maker , whistled. Their wives am friends had been with them for an hour dur Ing the mornine , but about thirty minute1 u before thn news came they were all oxeliuiei and the prisoners locked up by thnmsehes s Sheriff Matsou had remained away from tin y jail.

AT THE JAir , From the appearance of the streets around the jail any ono con Id' tell that some great event was goinz on. As the news spread citizens , codtlcss and some bareheaded , left their places of business and rushed toward the jail to verify tlio report. Among the crowd , which was growing .bicker every moment , the blanched faces of ough-Iooklng foreigners could bo seen dart- .ne hither and thither , jabbering excitedly , with ugly grimaces anil clenching their fists is they talked to one another.

A reporter was Captain lllack's first In- ornmnt of the decision. During the few ; noments In giving the anarchists' senior ounsel the dread Information , his face was i study. His under jaw dropped down , his Ight hand went up to his forehead with a Ightning-llko jerk , and thn captain gasped : 'Is It the 1" possible seven men to hang ! 5rcat as was tils apparent surprise , his man- festatlon of disappointment was greater. 'Tho only remaining course for us to pur- me , " said he , "Is to takn the case to ho United States sur.rcmo court I shall go inmediatcly before the supreme court at Ottawa , and ask for reasonable tlino to so- ; ure a certified record for the present action _ o the supreme court at Washington.
