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

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

It. Parsons , Adolph Fischer , George Englo ,

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

ifteon days to tlio a motion for a rehearing

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

prowling anarchists and others of tlieli
kind. "

which express the utmost satisfaction wltl

citizens , codtlcss and some bareheaded , left
their places of business and rushed toward
the jail to verify tlio report. Among

ough-Iooklng foreigners could bo seen dart-

A reporter was Captain lllack's first In-

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

Captain Wack rose and paced the ifloor with

The Arbelter Zeltung , ot which Spies was

Nnw YOHK , Sept. 14. The news of the
afllrmatlon of the supreme court of Illinois
of the decision of the lower court In the con
demned Chicago anarchists case , caused
gicat excitement among the New York
socialists and anarchists. Herr Most was
tuiious. His anarchist paper , Frollicit , had
just gone to press when the news came. The
terms were ordered from tlio press. Atost

an editorial addressed "to the workmRinen

characteristic and violent style. Hechaiac-
terlzes tlio judges whomaele the decision as
"Infamous and blood-thirsty fools" and tlio

pupil. He lias boon prominent In tiio affairs
of the Chinese work and active In breaking
up fan tan and other gambling. Recently a
rumor spread that ho was married In China
when no took Miss Hill for his bride.
The matter has been Investigated.
Tlie Chinese custom is for parents
to select brides for sons In infancy
and make the match with the parents of the
girl. Ju Sing returned to China from Oak
land , Cala. , several years ago , and was mar
ried In ttie Chinese custom to the girl of his
parents' choice , but left her at once and re
turned to America. He claims that the drink
ing of wine , the essential part of the cere
mony , was omitted , aud that he never lived
with the elrl and hence the marriage is of no
effect. Singleton's friends claim that the
matter was tully examined before ho mar
ried Miss Hill by E. A. Mowry , and that com
petent legal authority decided that ho was
perfectly free to marry as he pleased.

SAUATOOA , N. Y , , Sept. 14. Full delega
tions to the republican convention arrived
last night. Consultations concerning nomi
nations and organization continued until
near midnight. Thu general purport of the
plattorm was considered and tlio shaping of
the state ticket discussed. The platform will
bo temperate but aggressive , arraigning the

lion. Promptly at noon the convention was

and James (1. ( Carmlcliael , of Erie , tor treas
urer ; James A. Dennison , of Fultop , attor-
nov general ; O. H. P. Cornell , state engineer.
The platform bccius by saying that the 10-
publlcan party desires a restoration to power
of the state and nation , and rehearses its
record and that of thn democratic party as
thu reasons therefor. It claims that two and
a halt years of a democratic president who
had the co-operation of an overwhelming
majority In the house of representatives , lias
exposed the Incapacity ol the demociatic
partv and the weakness of Its policy. The
democratic partv is arraigned tor failure to
keep Its promises and tor the impairment
of tlio public service in various ways.
Tlio plattorm declares that any changes
in the tariff should be made in tbe Interest of
the protection of labor on American soil ;
national taxation should bo adjusted to raise
a revenue for an economic and wise adminis
tration of the government , but not so as to
impair homo Industries. The civil service
reform law Is endorsed and President Cleve
land and Governor Hill arraigned tor hypoc
risy and "systematic perversion of law" to
partisan purposes. " "Persecution of work-
ingmcti In thu south and a denial of civil
rights" Is charged. The veterans of the war
arn entitled to .public preferment
and a genemiis pension , and President
Cleveland's "flippant , sneering language" In
vetoes is rofcried to as insulting to the vet
erans and degrading to the executive. Tlio
rebel battle-flag incident Is retericd to as de
serving of reprobation. On the quest ion of
immigration the platform says that anarch
ists , communists , polyKamists , paupers , fugi
tives from justice and Insane , vicious and
criminal persons , as well as contract labor
shontd'be-exrtudod. OH the liquor question in
the state , legislation Is recommended [ for civ-
Ing local option and restriction by taxation
where the option does not prohibit Governor
Hill's vetoes of bills restricting the liquor
