CuiOAfio , Nov , 7. [ SpecialTelegram to the
fJix. ] The latest exploit of Anarchist L1ngg
has given something of n check to the efforts
of those who have been circulating pctllions
nskhiR executive clemency on behalf of the
condemned anarchists. The relatives and
associates of the anarchists are as busy and
nctlvo ns over , but people generally who
favored executive clemency now exhibit a
marked change of sentiment. A great many
well known people received letters at their
houses yesterday containing petitions for
them to sign , nnd with the request that they
nblaln as many signatures ns possible and re
turn them to Henry Lloyd , cure of the Chicago
cage Tribune. Spies , Ficldcn , Schwab and
Fischer this afternoon all wrote to M. Salter ,
who has been working with Mr. Lloyd in
their behalf , disavowing all knowledge of
Lingg's exploit or sympathy with him. Spies
says : "Tho llrst intimation I received
of Iho mailer cumo from Sheriff Mat
jou last evening. I could not believe It
at first nnd can hardly believe it now. I
haven't spoken to Lingg for , 1 think , nine
months. I don't know much of him , but I
think ho is a mono maniac. 1 had ouly seen
him once or twice before wo were put to-
Bother and charged with 'conspiracy. ' I
don't believe that n single ono of the other
prisoners had even as much us a suspicion for
otherwise they would undoubtedly have rca-
loned the man out of his folly. Lingg , as fai
ns I can Judge him , seeks to bo martyred and ,
Id bo candid , would like the rest of us to go
with him. Did ho put these instruments into
his cell so Ihey might be found 1 This is the
question 1 have been asking myself. If ho
had them there for any purpose , Ihis is the
only ono that looks plausible lo mo. Ho
wants lo die thinking thereby to help the
muse of labor , but ho wanted us lo die also. "
The events of yesterday have also served
to call out stronger expressions of opinions
from most of the newspapers except the Chicago
cage Tribune nnd Herald , which make no
cfimment. Speaking of Iho petitions and the
threats of vengeance that have been made in
case the men ore executed , the Times says :
" This criminal menace of vengeance by the
foreign disciples- social anarchy seems to
havu had considerable effect in Intimidating
Rome well-known elti/ens and causing them
to attach their signatures to the nnarchhil
protest. Hut this unexpected appearance of
timidity , tills kuddon terror of that most cow-
urdly of cowards , 'tho dollar , ' has affected
the .inardlans of public order and the protec
J tors of property jind lifo against foreign
haudllism in a somewhat different way. It
lias awakened n feeling of dismay among
them that may forebode greater danger than
all Iho blood throatcnings of the friends of
thes-o 'noblo men' who wrountIho awful
havoo of the Haymarkct. This feeling of
dismay and discontent among lha guardians
of the public safety is a most natural consc-
ipienco of the sudden appearance of intimida
tion under the threats of vengeance among
homo moneyed men and representatives of
largo property interests , intimidation that
Is shown by their yielding lo Iho solicita
tion of the friends of the 'heroes' for signa
tures on tlielr protest against the execution
nf Justice. Jt is a consequence that
rational men ought to have foreseen ,
It is n consequence that Is certain
to spread and enlarge to dangerous proportions
tions and possibly lead to deplorable results
If lha Btampcdo of the intimidated souls
should not bo stopped. " The other leading
papers huvo editorials of n similar tenor.
The excitement around the criminal court
building and county Jail this morning was in
tense , nil the moro so from the apparent
effort that , was imulo on nil sides to suppress
It. Hut three clear days now remain till tin
dreadful day arrives , and as it thus hastilj
approaches Iho excitement in connection will
It naturally increases. It can bo noticed ii
Iho nervous activity of every man who ha
any official connection with the
nalcnm work of Friday next. Ii
their ceaseless motion whether anj
object IH to served thereby or not : in thoii
ftequent private consultations , and in thcii
increased and never ending vigilance. There
is 'scarcely a piece of property in Chicago belonging
longing to the city that is not guarded. Re
herve details of officers are ready for actioi
mid from every station house In the city ai
extra foren is ready to depart at u momcnt'
notice. The plllcers are not allowed to gc
homo , but are'fed in their respcctivoslations
Drill Muster Fitzpalrick is induing the mei
In the use of the-rifle. The city hall is wcl
guarded by a half dozen policemen. The tin
alarm telegraph office iu the city hall , whlcl
if disabled would leave the oily almost at tin
mercy of n mob , is also protected by a squat
of detectives. As a result of the conferenci
between the mayor and the sheriff tin
oulKlda shutters of the criminal court build
lug have been closed and barred : im
Iho guards have been added to urn
no ono will bo allowed Insldo the building
without n written order from the sheriff
The Jail Is completely surrounded by police
men and detectives and inside the building i
policeman is met at every door and turn.
The Amnesty association were late aboul
cutting its tallies and petitions on the street !
this morning. At b'JO : thcro were but tw <
tables out. one nt the northwest comer o
Ul.ark and Washington streets and Iho olhci
on' Clark strccl opposite Iho postofllco. M
A. Collins , who has charge of this branch o
Iho agitation in favor of the condemned men
was iu charge of Iho tunic at lite courthouse
1'liD crowds about ihe tables were rathe
unall and the papers were signed slowli
Vrry little talk was indulged In One nun
came along , looked under thu frail littlolubl
carefully , and then asked if they hud an ;
bombs under there. Somebody said "Ones
hot , " and the Inquirer disappeared nrouin
Iho corner. Mr. Collius was. uskc
If thora was any talk abou
the finding of bombs in Liugk"
cell yesterday , he replied : "Wo heard neil
In1 ; about the incident to-day. I think th
bombs were put thcro to counteract our wort
b.it I'vn noticed no diminution in the clgnin
of mimes , The bomb story is rather thiu
It's u last resort. "
"Aro you going to have moio tables on th

"Yes , I'm having a doron lui-p r table

looking ffruy bearded man came along and
after llalening to Challaret asked : "Havo
you got a sample of your bombs with you ! "
The crowd laughed and Challaret replied :
"No : human reason Is all the bomb 1 believe
In. I don't believe In physical force. " Not
withstanding Mr. Challarct's pleasant talk
and ills allusion lo Iho Manchester martyrs ,
It was noticed that but few of the signers put
down Irish names. Miss Van /.undt , with
Spies' sister , was active and busy all day.
The two women were neatly dressed , and
with cheerful , smiling faces went from one
htand lo another , staying u few moments at
each and talking with the man ui charge ,
" 'hey would eagerly scan Iho list
.f names and see how the work
, vns going on. They both had
inckngcs of Mr. Truinbull's pamphlet
'Was ' It a Fair Trial I" under their arms
ml offered them for sale.
Some of the men who signed the petition In
'uvor of a commutation of the sentence arc
generally not disposed to admit any change
f their view in consc-qucnce of the discovery
f bombs in Llngg's cell. Lymiin .1. Gage ,
resident of the First National bank , said :
'Tills will huvo the effect of deterring need
? oed many from signing the petition. That
s naturally lo bo expected , but I do not see
hat It makes any difference in the principle
) f a discriminative clemency. I still believe
it to bo Ihe bctler policy lo commute the sen
tence of some , at least , of these men. " Judge
fill ley , in response to similar questions ,
aid'My : position Is not changed one par-
lelo. t did not sign the petition for sentl-
ncntal reasons or out of any sympathy for
ho condemned anarchists , or from any idea
hat they had not had a fair and impartial
rial. I think they had as fair a trial as any
men could have. I signed the petition solely
on the ground of public policy. I do not
think it wise to make martyrs of Iheso men ,
[ is assuredly will bo the case if the sentence
's carried outv As It now stands , their fol-
owcrs may , in course of time , see the error
) f Iheir course and admit that social wrongs
cannot bo redressed by force , but they are
not likely to do so If these men
uro hanged. In that case they
will not reason about the matter ,
ly Judgment Is that Iho men ought to bo al-
iowcd to live In order that anarchy may die.
They will have ten times as many followers
nfter their death as they would have if they
were qulntly shul away in Iho penitentiary.
This discovery of bombs Iu Llugg's cell is a
strange affair. It will undoubtedly prevent
a good many from signing the petition who
would have done so out of sympathy for some
of the prisoners. Hut I don't ' see as it should
make any difference with these who favor
commutation on the ground of public policy. "
A Statement. Front Spies.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. This afternoon , W. M.
Salter , who has been working in company
h H. D. Lloyd to secure Ihu signatures of
iroiulncnt citizens to the request of uoniinu-
.utlon of Iho sentence against the anarchists ,
asked Spies lo say plainly what ho knew
about the bombs found in Lingg'scell ' ycstcr-
ilay. Spies wrolc out the following , and to
t are appended the signatures of Ficldcn and
Schwab. Further below is u statement by
Fischer :
Mr. Salter : It is useless for me nnd my
friends to siiy we had no knowledge of any
thing of thu kind. No suno man would have
iiomhs iu his cell or countenance any such a
Lhing in a cell think ( if it subject to search
it any moment and at all times. The first
intimation I received of the mutter came
from Sheriff Matson last evening , and I could
not believe it at first , and can hardly
Dollovo it now. I haven't spoken
lo Liugg , I think , for nine
months. 1 don't know * much of him ,
but I think ho is a mono
maniac. Had only seen him once or twice
before wo were put together and charged
with "conspiracy. " I don't ' believe that a
single ono of the oilier prisoners had as much
as a suspicion , for , otherwise , Ihey would
have undoubtedly reasoned the man out of his
folly. What use was lie going to make of the
shells ! Throw them into tho'Jaill What inten
tion , what object could there have been in
such an undertaking ? I repeat that no sane
man can bo capable of such a thing. Lingg ,
as far as I can Judge him , seeks to bo mar
tyred , and , to be candid , would like to have
the rest of us go with him. Did ho put these
Instruments into his cell so that they might
bo found ! This is a question I have been
asking mysolf. If ho had them there
for any purpose Ihis was Iho
only ODO which looks plausible
lo mo. Ho wants to die , thinking thereby to
help Iho cause of labor. Hut he wanted us
to die also. Perhaps ho thought the best and
surest way to bring this about was to place a
few bombs In his coll. I have never met us
peculiar'n man as ho is before in my life , and
for almost a year I have considered him a
monomaniac , and have had nothing to do
will him. You ask mo lo condemn his ac-
lion. It is useless to condemn the action of
an irresponsible num. If any ouo holds us or
any ono of us responsible for Lingg's deeds ,
then 1 can't see why wo wouldn't bo held re
sponsible for any mischief whatsoever com
mitted in the world. And it has actually
eeme to that. Wo are being inado the scape
goats for everything.
Very sincerely yours ,
A. Si'ir.s.
I also concur in the nbovo statements.
S. FIKLUEN.
In the above I fully concur.

Fischer wrote : "I don't know what to
think of it. I cannot comprehend that Lingg
intended to take the lives of tlio jail officials ,
wholn every respect have treated us very
kindly. Neither do I believe that Lingg
wanted to commit suicide , because ho pos
sesses too much courage. Tlio whole affair
is a pu//.lo to me and may my futo bo what it
may , 1 will ho grateful lo Iho Jail officials for
their kind treatment to the last. "
Paitlal Confession ,
CmcAfio , Nov. 7. Just before noon to-day
Anarchist Kngol was visited by Dr. Gray ,
assistant county physician , to whom the un-
nrchlst mudo u partial confession of his at
tempted suicide. In addition to swallowing
the opium , Engel said ho took sixteen mor
phine pills Friday night. Dr. Gray was
ninazcd at this intelligence , but understood
why they proved incffecUnl when Engel said
ho had the pills ever since ho was brought In
the Jail. That was exactly u year and a half
ago yesterday , and long since then the pills
ceased to have any active power. Kngol saiil
ho swallowed the sixteen pills late FrUlaj
night and walked his cell all da )
Saturday , expecting at any mo
ment to lull down. When it
grow toward night und tlte morphine had nc
effect ho resolved to tiiko laudanum. . Aftci
his friends left In the evening ho poured oil ]
s-lx or seven teaspoonfuls ofpoison and tossct
it off. Drv Gray thinks Iho stuff was pur
cluiscd In pome cheap drug store , and , ii
cons-cquenco , It was adulterated and a verj
poor article of its kind. That is why the
laudanum did nol take effect , for if the druj
was of the right quality hiilf of the quantity
Kngol swallowed would have been enough Ic
kill him. The old man was made drowsj
by Iho poison , that was all , and
his loud breathing was what
led to the discovery. At llrst he
said ho luul been drinking whisky , but n single
glo ghinco at the pnpllsof the man's eyes win
cnoutjh lo convince Dr. (5ray that ho bin
swallowed opium in some form. Coffee win
given him and ho was inado to exert himsel
and move about. The pi * .m.irv effect , such a
it was , soon passed off and left the would-l *
suicide a Utllo bit dnr.ed. This forenoon In
was sleepy and confused , but withal a hi
talkative. When hn found further concealment
mont useless ho told why ho wanted to die
Ho'd rather die , ho paid , Hum gi
lo the penitentiary for life and ho'd rather gi
off by the way of poison than the route or
dallied by tlio law. Ho didn't think ho had i
fair trial. Th'j old man said ho had onlymad
ihreo spoivlic's and whut ho ( teoinrd. to rcgrti
wort wus thai ho hadn't made thirty or thrc
hundred speeches when ho found ho was ti
bo hjinij for speech-making. Asked by Dr
Gr.iy how long ho luul thu laudanum ho answered
swored , "Oh , a Ions time , " but ho woiildn' '
tell how hq iol it or who gave it in him.
KiiRcl is r'eiwtcd to havesaid to reprentr
lives of the Amnesty m-soeiatiim this uftoi
noon that his letter 'jiven to the public IIHIOI
time HgO , in which ho expressed himself , Ilk
rursons , as wUhing either libcrry or dcall
was fgrec'd. f rum him by n powerful outs id
Influence , the nature of which ho dares not
divulge. He also said the letter was not
even written by him , but was penned outside
the Jail , Ho alleged that thus being com
pelled to utter sentiments which ho did not
feel at l.cart had broken him all up. He also
also declared that against his wilt ho had
been prevented from signing the petition
which Spies , Ficldcn and Schwab had ad
dressed lo Ihe governor ,
During Iho aflernoon Parsons wrote along ,
almost hysterical denunciation of the bomb
discovery as n prearranged trick of Ihclr
enemies to blacken the condemned men In the
eyes of the public.
The Captured Bombs ,
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. Sheriff Matson this
morning said there Was no doubt us to the na
ture of the stuff found in Lingg's bombs.
That part of the filling had been taken out of
n couple of the pipes and exploded , and that
it hud been found to be the strongest kind of
dynamite. The amnesty people have their
lablcs on Iho slrecls again this morning , but
thcro seems to bo less disposition on the part
of the people to sign Iho petitions than Sat
urday , and but few names arc being secured.
Louis Lingg is defiant and sullen this
morning. Ho put on his oldest suit of clothes ,
a pair of gray trousers and black jacket , put
his feet upon the little iron cot and began to
read a paper. His cell Is on the lower tiortind
looks out upon the examining cagei Report
ers may observe him at u distance of eight
feet. Lingg was restless , and every few mo
ments ho would Jerk his head around and
stare through the grated door with a wild
look. Presently ho got up , planted himself
In front of the cell door , thrust his hands
into his pockets nnd looked straight before
him upon the contracted Hold of his vision.
Ho saw nothing but watchful clusters of reporters -
porters and suspicious muscular bailiffs. He
was nervous. Ho would lean against the
wall , sit down on Iho edge of the cot , get up.
put his elbows on the cross-bars of ills cell
and rest his face on his hands. A favorite
attitude was lo stand llrnily erect , fold his
arms over his broad chest and guzo out ,
bristling and ferocious.
None of the seven were let out of their
cells this morning , nnd Jailor Folz says they
won't bo to-day. Mrs. Schwab , Mrs. Engel
nnd Mrs. Parsons cumo to see their hus
bands , but the best they could do
was to call out "good morning"
and send up souio papers. No packages of any
sort were allowed to go in. Nina VunXumlt
was there. "Good morning , " she called out
to Spies. "Good morning , " ho returned , and
that was the end of Iho dialogue bclwcen
them. She wrote a note which the
nnitor read nnd then sent up to
Spies. All mail was broken nnd
examined this morning , the first time since
the imprisonment , and telegrams were torn
open and read. All private communication
iVith their friends is slopped , and will con-
.Inuo lo bo until the day of execution , if that
monies. Captain Black and Moses Solomon
came to the jail at 10 o'clock. Hluck hud only
iteppcd into the office when .Taller Folz took
dm into his private room and talked earnestly
.o him. Black then talked with each
f his clients at their cell doors.
'Will ' the finding of these bombs
n Lingg's cell change any of the plans of de
fense , Mr. Solomon ! " "No. Wo will go
right ahead with the petitions and ask clem
ency for Lingg , nnd go to Springfield Tues
day as already arranged. "
It is reported that the police have discov
ered eleven dyniiniito bombs , which were se
creted in the house of an anarchist
near the gas works on West
Division street. Tlio police were
working on the case nil day yesterday , and
lave kept the discovery very quiet. The mater -
er whetflt became known , caused great ex
citement in the vicinity of the Jail.
Soon after the rumored finding of the
bombs iu the northwestern part of the city a
lumber of detectives came to the office of
'jieulcnant Slayton , where a consultation
.vas held , in which Captain Schaack and
3hiof Ebcrsold Joined. The conference was
kept up for some time , until word was re
ceived lhat the alleged dynamite bombs were
nothing but a lot of empty gun cartridge
shells. _
Mrs. Parsons AlmudonN AH Hope.
CHICAGO , Nov , 7. The dark-skinned wife
of Anarchist Parsons has nt last abandoned
lope. This even ing she said ; "My husband
s dead to mo and I rclurn homo to my chil
dren to mourn for him. I spoke good-byo to
ilni for the last time this afternoon , for I will
never cross the threshold of the jail again lo
bo insulted nnd humiliated. Other women
'an ' go thcro and crawl before the men who
turned us out this afternoon , but I will never
go until I can sit at the side of my husband
and talk lo him without an infamous
guard at my side. I want to live with the
ilctiiro of my husband in a dungeon ever be-
"oro my eyes. That will give mo strength to
bring up two revolutionists. Mr. Parsons
will never sign any begging appeal. Ho will
die and I hope they will make a clean sweep
of it and hang the whole seven. Let them
mng them all and lot the men who cry for
.ilood have all they want of it. The blood of
iny husband bo upon them. "
The Pollen Programme.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. A secret conference was
held this afternoon between the superintend
cut and inspector of police and the captains
of the various precincts and a complete pro
gramme was arranged for Friday covering
the whole city. Captain Sehaak will have
command of the uniformed police detailed tote
to the scene of the hanging Friday. In ad
dition to the jail , arrangements were
inado for carefully protecting all prop
erty belonging lo Iho cily. A strong
guard will also bo placed in Iho board of
trade building to which , in case of trouble , it
is thought the rioters might repair. A largo
number of detectives has also been assigned
to shadow every man who was actively en
gaged in the anarchist trial. It is understood
snmo leading llrmo in the business center of
tlio cily have also taken measures to protect
their property in case of trouble. Two regi
ments of state militia will be held under
arms nt their armories on Friday , but it is
not anticipated there will bo any necessity
for their services.
Gary'H Awkward Position.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. [ Special Telegram to
the BEE. ] General W. W. H. Parsons ,
brother of the condemned anarchist , luu
written a letter of a column and a half to
Governor Oglesby speaking for clemency and
citing historical parallels nnd "notorious
unfairness" of trial. Judge Gary Is said lo
feel very keenly Iho awkward iwsltion in
which ho and States Attorney Grinnell have
been placed by the aclion of Judges Tuley ,
Moran , McAllister , Baker and others
in signing Iho appeal for clemency , as
a measure of public policy. It is said the oh ]
Jurist regards their signing such document
ami the reasons which Ihey assigned us a ta
cit admission of the guilt of the condemned
men and the fear of the consequences of the
doctrines which they preach. Judge Gary will
uay nothing directly to the press regarding
his probable action in the matter. As ono
gentleman said to-day : "Tho signing of the
petition by o many other Judges will make
Gary and Qrinnull worse marks for anarchist
hatred than over , should they refuse to sign
Got a Habeas Corpus Writ.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. Hon. John A. Jewctt
was interviewed to-night ns to the possibility
of a writ of habeas corpus being Issued in the
anarchist cases. He said that such a wri
was open to them in their present iwsition
upon a petition strong enough In Us allcga
tion , and if issued , Iho sheriff would bocullet
upon to make a rclurn and showbyw'hal pro
cess of law the prisoners arc held.
A TulU with Governor
Si'KiNoriri.D , Nov. 7. The Associated press
represei.tixtivo called tit the executive man
slim IhU morning and interviewed Governor
Oglesby regarding Iho threatening epistle
which ho has received during Ihe past few
days from anarchist sympathizers. "J air
very milch iifnild , " said Iho governor , ' 'tha '
the matter' has boon exaggerated , as sucl
reports usually are. ll Is qulto true tha
1 Ijavo received threatening communications
but Ihey Inlvo never alarmed -me. Most o
them' UavO' bccu received witklu
vcek , or since the refusal Of the supreme
ourt of the United States to take up the mut
er , nnd they have usually 'consisted of un-
Igncd telegrams and postulcurd.s , with now
ml then a scaled letter. I have never wished
o alarm my family , ami for lhat reason , to
gether wilh the fact Unit I attach
10 Importance to such. threats , these com-
iiinlculloiis have been generally consigned
o ihe flames. 1 do not think I have received
more than half a dozen threatening comiminl-
atlons , although mostly all written the
> ast week or so. The newspapers are attach-
ng altogether too much Importance to threats.
'ho number of threatening communications
mvo been very limited Indeed.
The governor's mail this morning xvns com-
losed of n little over one hundred lellcrs.
icarly all of which related lo tlio anarchist
uso. This Is an Increase over any previous
ay and the proportion of requests for clem-
ncy Is also said to be somewhat greater
ban yesterday. Chicago , as usual , furnished
ho bulk of Iho mall on this subject , nnd a
; onsidcrablo number of letters uro said to
mvo becu marked personal or confidential.
'ills is quilo a needless precaulion on the
> art of the writers , as no ono but the cover-
lor sees his anarchist mall. It is a significant
act that most of the communications are do-
old of any firm label or printing of
ny kind whatever that would indicate
he Identity of the sender. This , together
vlth the fact that so many of the letters are
narked personal would convey the impres-
lon lhat u large majority of the writers nro
giving their views to tiio governor under a
enl of confidence and have a decided dlsin-
linalion to thu public being informed ns to
heir real opinion regarding the best policy
o bo pursued in this crisis. This , without
loubt , has partially influenced the governor
o refuse publicity of his cntiro anarchist
orrcspondcncc.
Friends Interviewed.
, III. , Nov. 7. A rcprcscnta-
ivo of the Associated press called this after
noon upon a number of Governor Oglcsby's
'ricnds in order lo learn , If possible , their
lews as lo his probable nation in the anarch-
st case. Judge Mathcuy , of ttic Sangamon
county court , said : "I have known Governor
Oglcsby intimately for forty years and what
ever ho decides to do In the case he will do
regardless of threats of violence or other
efforts. Ho Is sympathetic and I would note
> o surprised if ho commuted the sentence of
wo or three of Ihem. "
The Hon. William Springer said : "I have
cnown Governor Oglesby long enough lo
snow that ho has the moral and physical
courage to. do his duty as ho understands it.
lo will not be swerved by threats of violence ,
jut will dispose of this matter on grounds of
mblip policy , and I will be satisfied wilh his
lecision , because ho is giving it patient con
sideration. "
The Hon. D. W. Smith , president of the
Illinois National bank , said : "I would not
bo surprised if the governor commutes the
sentence of two or thrco of the condemned if
10 can see his way clear to do it. Ho is a
very kind man. There is no boubt there are
different degrees of guilt in the cases of these
nen. I am confident , however , that no
hrcatR of violence will deter the governor
rrom conscientiously performing his duly us
10 understands it. "
Hon.Wiley E.Joncsdeniocrntic rcprcsenta-
.ivo from the Springfield districl , who re
ceived a request from thot Chicago members
of Iho united labor party to assist them in
ircscntlng Iho pclilion for clemency to the
governor , said to-day that ho had decided to
take no action with the committee. "The
courts have passed upon the law and evi-
Icnce in the case , " said ho , , "and the same
law which gives them irawcr to thus adjudi
cate also confers upon tlio governor the right
to interpose commutation or pardon. The

United T ahor Petitioners.
SrniNirni.i : ) , 111. , Nov. 7 , A portion of Iho
committee of the united labor party who
come to intercede with Iho governor in ho-
liulfof Iho condemned anarchists arrived
liero this evening , The members talked
freely regarding their mission to the Associ
ated press representative. When asked
" hat effect the finding of the bombs in
Lingg's cell would hayo , Mr. Dixon said :
"Tho effect so fur produced Is deplorable
and ono delegation In this city to-night
would bo ten times as largo as
it Is had not this mailer been published broad
cast I do not know whether it is really true
that the bombs were secreted in the cell by
Lingg , but I can say this , lhat if it is proven
beyond n doubt , after further investigation ,
that the bombs were thcro with his procure
ment , no quo can conscientiously ask clem
ency for him. If Lingg wanted to insure the
hanging of himself and nil his comrades , ho
could not have done a moro likely thing to
attain that cud than to secrete these bombs
just as ho Is alleged to have done. "
Later Iu the evening Mr. Dixon scanned
closely the press dispatches from Chicago to
learn , if possible , whether It had been defin
itely ascertained that Lingg had concealed the
bombs in his cell , or whether thcro was
ground for the belief that they had been
placed there by Iho officials for. Iho puriwso
of aggravalhiu ) > ublic sentiment. Mr. Dixon
nsserled that ITho believed the bombs were
placed in the cell by Lingg with tlio full
knowledge and consent of his comrades ho
would never present a petition to the gover
nor in their behalf. _
Not over an hour was spent by the governor
in his oftlcont the capital to-day. Ho made n
brief visit to the state house about ! 10 : ! !
o'clock and rcthrned lo Ihe executive man
sion ut 4 : : tO. The whole day was consumed
in consideration of the anarchist petitions
pro and con. The friends of the condemned
anarchists expect Nina Van Xundt to como
to-morrow or Wednesday to accompany dele
gations to the capital.
Great excitement was occasioned hero to
night by the announcement that Assistant
Adjutant General Kwcrt had notified the two
companies of stale militia belonging hero lo
bo in readiness lo assemble for service. Men
in military uniforms were seen on the strcels ,
but when questioned simply said they had
been notified to bo ready , to respond to the
signal. It is not known now whut the object
of the order Is or where the troops are to bo
sent. The belief is prevalent , however , that
they are to bo sent to Chicago.
Herr Most Mad.
f-Nnw YOIIK , Nov. 7. The leading topic of
conversation among the anarchist leaders In
this city to-day was the report of the finding
of the bombs In ihe cell of the condemned
anarchist , Lingg. All of the leaders agreed
lhat it was a Job put up by the police , and
when talking about It they grew greatly ex
cited. Hcrr Most denounced the police as
cut-throats , thieves and murderers , A com-
mittco representing the different labor
societies will leave here to-night for Chicago
for the purixiso of pleading with Governor
Oglosby to spare the condemned men.

Hcrnlil Cable Special to the Hcc.l The
frent CalTnrcl trial opened at 12:05 : to-day lu
lie concctioiml tribunal of the Seine. Tlio
udge , draped in black , wltli Ills assessors
also In black , sat bebliul a massive oaken
joneh. Over them was a largo picture of
Christ on the cross. The court , room , which
s only about ilfty feet square , was thronged
vlth an eager crowd , but , singularly enough ,
cry few ladles wcro present. The accused ,
is they rambled In from a side door under
escort of the panics republicans , did not ,
vlth the exception of General Caffarel him
self and Lorciitz , un almost equally military-
coking man , appear un at all interesting
ot. LoronU , Paul Eugene , aged forty-
six , agent d'uffulics , seemed to feel
ils position very deeply more so than
my of the others. Ho is a tall , cadaverous ,
latchct-faced man , with tawny hair. Ho is
tale , sallqw-c.yed and toyed nervously with
ils moustache. Caffarel is a square-faced , de
termined , looking man with a long gray goatee
ind moustache. Ho appeared perfectly sclf-
losscsscd and had as many remarks and sug
gestions as the president of the tribunal. Ho
vas dressed In n tightly buttoned up black
'rock coat of course , without decoration.
! Ie glanced quickly at the picture of Christ ,
.hen he gazed at the ceiling with apparent in
terest , but when his turn for examination
eatno he looked the president straight in the
'ace and when ho had to enforce a point ho
lid not hesitate to repeat it three or four
lines. All the accused were ranged around
the table in front of the president and his two
assessors. Toward the president's left sat
Mine. Limouzin and , by her aide , Lorcntz.
Then in a scat facing the bench , General
Jaffurel , with Mine. Katazzi next to him.
Next to Mmo. Ratazzl was a
great strapping garde rcpubllcalnc ,
ind on the other side of the gangway
owards the president's right were Mcsdumcs
Saint Lauvcur and Vcron , Atlas do Council
and Agent Haylo who is a villainous looking
fellow with long hair and shrinking eyes.
As for the ladies of the party , what particu
larly struck me about them was the evident
ilainncss and respectability of their appear-
ince. Mmo. Limouzin has on previous oc
casions figured before the tribunal in n red
mantle , edged with white furs. To-day ,
lowevcr , she was robed in black and kept
rubbing her hump back against the bench on
which she sat , .perhaps to bring good luck to
icr own case. .MmCjJjAUuzl is tall and , if
she were n man , might , llko Caffarel , 1)0
described as military. She , to her credit bet
t said , kept blushing every few moments.
The other accused on Indictment was not
present. The president with impres
sive gravity called out "Dand-
au. " The audience looked surprised
: hcn smiled. The president questions the ac
cused bricily and asks about his means of ex
istence , etc. Mmo. Limouzin was first
questioned. The president asked her :
"How old are you I"
Limouzin ( rubbing her hands together and
twinkling her eyes ) I was born Juno 7 ,
1S-IO , and I have a child.
After a few more questions the president
motioned Limouzin to sit down , which she
did and continued rubbing her hump against
the bench. The president then turned
inwards Caffarel and baid :
"Stand up. "
C ffarcl rfroso with military precision , fixed
his eyes on the president and folded his
arms.
The president said : "You have squandered
n largo fortune. Then you gambled at the
bourse and became entangled in all sorts of
shady transactions. "
Cuffarcl simply shrugged his shoulders.
President Why did you recommend Gail-
lard , the brand merchant }
Caffarel I did so to please Galllard.
Presidents-It was understood , was it not ,
that if you recommended Gaillard that Gall-
lard would pay your debts !
Caffaret Galllard was my friend.
The president then questioned Mmo. Rat-
nzzi , who blushingly confessed to forty-live
years and said she had n son and a daughter.
President In the Rcnardt affair , for which
General Dandlau received 10,000 francs , you
had a commission of ono 1,0001
Mmo. Katazzi No , M. lo president , I was
only to get it when the general had his second
end 10,000 francs ; I had nothing , other
wise it would bo in my account book. I
noted down everything I received from Gen
eral Daudlau even little items buch as
twenty francs.
I -President Who caused Renault's 10,000 ,
francs to bo restored }
Ratazzl It was Mmo. Llraouzin.
Jt will bo remembered that the Renault
case was ono of the matters that nearly
brought the strange confederacy to grief before -
fore its time and revealed the connection be
tween the operations of General Caffarel and
Limouzin. Renault was approached by ono
of Mine. Ratazzi'H agents and plainly
asked whether he wanted a deco
ration. He , with equal directness , asked
Mmo. Ratazzi whut would bo the price
and when It ought to bo paid. Hho was told
10,000 , francs was paid but the decoration was
not forthcoming and whilst Renault was
awaiting his honors ho received a letter from
Mmo. Limouzin assuring him that the influ
ence of the Ratazzl-Dandlau firm was ex
hausted and that she and her gcnor.tl could
nlono do the business desired , liclng thus
fought for by u rival general was not at all
to Renault's taste and ho had the good luck
to obtain from Tandlau ) a return of his money
under a throat of exposure. There was a
good deal moro concerning Dnndluu , but the
above gives the drift of his case.
The next important personage was Gor.cral
Caffarol , who really seems to have been a
much a dupe as anything clso. What ho told
of his misadventures constitutes a perfect
sermon on the helplessness of n military man
before bills and bill discounters. It is hardly
to bo supposed that ho , at his own instance ,
embarked in the strange transaction In
guano , bran and cheap claret. Tlio gonpral
maintained with enorcy , under u searching
examination , that his object in obliging
Madame Limouzin lu recommending the
claims of her friends for decoration , was to
obtain her aid in discounting his bills and
that ho never coutitcd upon any direct mowiy
transaction ,
Thfi president nid you lehvo any presents
with Mmo. UmguzlnI
General Caffurcl Yes , I left her two pots
of mustard , small'toUlca of tnbjcVpvi u and
n pair of little pasteboard bellows by which
it is iwppcrcil about for the destruction of
llcas , etc.
The strongest part of the evidence against
Caffarcl was the testimony of n detective
who under the name of "Lunglols" undertook
to work up the case. This mnn declared that
ho was Introduced to Caffarol at Mmo. Llm-
ouzin's under the pulse of a Jeweler seeking
n decoration and that the general , on seeing
him to the door at the termination of his
visit , said : "Well , there Is nothing changed
in the price wo have agreed upon. "
Tlio president asked ; "Did you say this
CalTrtrol ! "
"No. All that I wished to convey waslhat
the manufacturers who were decorated were
generally rich men. "
The session came to a close by an Incident.
A full-blooded negro , named ICnrich Desert ,
a Haytl lawyer , was called as a witness to
the transactions between General Caffarel
and Cocn , the wine merchant. The negro
said : "The fart Is , gentleman , this whole
case breaks my heart , and I can't remember
anything about the transaction whatever. "
The court then adjourned till to-morrow.
