The prisoners had filed out during this

hud the jury left tho room when a piercing
•brick was heard, followed by tne heavy
fulling of the form of Mrs. Schwab to tbe
floor, to whom the result of the verdict had
been interpreted. She is also a sister of
Scbnaubelt, the alleged bomb thrower.
She was carried to the air by tho police, and
soon revived.
Mrs. Parsons looked haggard as she
Ktarted to leave tbe court-room, but main
tained a degree of compo.ure.
The crowd remained outside for an hour
after the reading o the verdict It is un
derstood that the authorities now contem
plate the immediate arrest cf all persons

market tragedy for conspiracy. Tbe lead
ers, heating the ontcomo of the verdict, are
preparing to leave the city.
All the relatives and personal friends of
the condemned AnaicblaU immediately left
the courtroom. Shortly after tho swooning
of Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Parsons and her fe
male companion, after leaving the court
room, returned and seated themselves by
Gen. \V. H. Parsons, of Tt xaa, brother of
one of tbe condemned. The trio discussed
the outcome among themselves.

way which leads from the oonrt room to
the Jail, and were at onco placed in the
“cage,” a small compartment near the en
trance to the jail, which is heavily barred
and very completely covered witn thick
wire netting. They were joined there
shortly by their attorneys, who extended
to them what encouragement was in their
lower of the relief of an appeal. Spies
tad divested hinnelf of his coat, and
seemed to be the most thoroughly composed
of the eight. He declined to converge with
any one but the attorneys, bnt it iB stated
he had a premonition that his fate was
sealed.
Engel, who has maintained a very quiet
air throughout the trial, appeared to be the
most thoroughly depressed onu of tbe lot
He sat ou a bench with his bands clenched
in iront of him, lookiog at the floor. He
did not even look np to respond to a re
mark from one of bia companions.
Lingg, the young bomb maker, walked
about tbe cage somewhat nervously, and
wonld not respond to a salutation by the
newspaper representative. He bad lost bis
smile, a d be displayed the effect of the ex
citement of the ordeal of the morning by
complete loss of color.
Parsons, who had given himself np for
trial, looked disconcerted and broken down,
but joined at intervals in questions directed
at tbe attorneys.
Fischer, who had looked very badly dar
ing the trial, having an almost absolutely
oolntless face, bad in a measure recovered
himself, and smoked a cigar as he listened
to tneinteiohange of views between counsel
and Spies.

ThoBe In the front ranks of tbe crowd
heard the words, and they gave cheers, and
the rest of the waiters took up the hurnih
when the news wos communicated to them,
and repeated it many times over. It
■onDded like a knell to tho prison
ers, but in it was an assurance to the
tired jury of what they must
have almost known all along that the in-
terc-ht of Chicago in the trial had not abated
since the morning ot May 5th.
At 2 o'clock this evening, a largo force
of police was gathered at the Chicago ave

Tho jury, after having received their pay,
were driven away in carriages to escape the
lingering-crowds outside of the jail. Mr.
Seizler, of counsel for the defense, said that
he kelieveel that tbe verdict waa against
anarchy aud not tbe Anarchists on trial
He thought tbe verdiot was a great surprise
to the State's attorney, Grinned, himself.
People stood in groups on all the Btreets
leading to the court rooms and eagerly pur
chased tbe various editions of the papers
which followed each other rapidly. During
the resiling if tbe verdict the prisoners
were complete ly bidden from the view of
every one in the court room, a cordon of
police completely anrroundtDg them, and
w hatever immediate effect the reading of
tlie verdict hail npon them, conlel not be

were apparently directed so as to guard
against any demonstration by the prisoners
or their fridnds of aDy character whatever.
The motion for new trial, itUexpected.will
be beard early next month. If it is over
ruled Judge <Jary will pronounce sentence
and fix tbe elate for the carrying out ot the
death penalty.
Tbe case will then go to the Supreme
Court for review. It is generally the ex-
pressed view of the lawyers that the Bn-
prime Coart will not interfere if Judge
Gary refuses a new trial, as tbe conrt, it is
contended, ruled with great liberality to-
wards tbe defendants and connael, and rcnel
to tbe jury nearly every instruction asked
for on behalf of the defendants.
“iVe had oar verdict mails up before

Chicago, III., August 21.—The Illinois
Stunts Zeituug, in its lending editorial to
day, says: “The greut American republic
has announced to the whole world, through
the months of twelve honest men in Chi
cago. that freedom is not synonymous will
tho overthrow of the principles of well or
dered governmental and social States,
and that it understands how to protect trno
American freedom against that contempti
ble European outgrowth, anarchy. The
saddest thought for us Gcrman-Americans
is tho fact that a majority of
men who, through the terrors
of the HaymArket, have brought upon
themselves the contempt and anger of the
entire republie of our fatherland, and tho
home of our children, are Germans. Of
course, tho majority of tho American people
have become convinced that tho Anarchists
form but a very small minority of the
German-American element, and is totally
foreign to it. The judicial denunciation of
anarchy in America will prove a most potent
influence upon American and German-Amer-
ican workingmen. Through a strong decis
ion of twelve jurors in Chicago the great
American workingmen's movement iu its
legal and justiiiable strife for tho ennoble
ment of the dignity of labor has been freed
from a fearful and bloody oppression, be
neath whioh it has suffered since the *lth of
May.

Gxlnnell, in au interviewJn-day, -ami: “We
inti nd to leave) tho Anarchists alone for a
time, to tee whe liter they have now learned
what the right of free speech means in this
country; whether they still bold it to menn
that they may incite men to riot, murder
and plunder. We have had in this trial
men who were called squealers and inform
ers. There were three or four of them.
One of them went back on na on the wit

them to know that they are marked, and if
ever a hand ia raised to injure a hair of the

has been sounded. We have their names

mobs to stand without these dreary walls
where the execution of convicted criminals
occurs. Eech man seemed to bo holding

were held were in a low tone, and reltted
solely to the probable conviction of the
eight prisoners, who were awaiting for the
hour which wax to mean life or death to
them. There was a cordon of p lice
stretched along the eidewalk in front of the

ir J. Ferguson, under secretary foi

England, tho United States aud Canadu. It
was not intended by either tho United
States or England to appoint a joint com
mission to amend the treaty of 1818.

of public works in Ireland, he said it would

said it was a declaration ot war against
tho Irish people. It was a method of
starvation for hundreds of thousands
of tenants. It won’d lead to jobbery, de
moralization, and tho squandering of the
public moneys. The tax-payers would boar

Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt said boy

Tho front door was broken open, tho
sheriff's guard* overpowered and disarmed,
the second door batterdfi down, and with a
