During tbe long honra of the t.lahf, the
only newspaper men who were admitted to
the inner precincts ef the j ,il were repre
sentatives of the Associated Press. They
had quartets in what Is known m the law-
yera’ eige, and were within ten feet of the
Anaiohista. At four o’clock cue of them
made u ’our of tbe lowir oorridor, where
bpies, Poisons, Fltlden and Engel arete
confined. In each cell were two stalwart
Itnords, who stood wutoh ever tte Auatoh-

whispered jokes among themstlveB to while

IX TBE HEAVIEST OF SLCMBEXS
Spies lay on one site, his head on bis atm
and Bltp*. as peacefully as a babe.
Fleeter bad tnruid over on bis back and
the ojueiqnerco was that he frequently
let ont a snore that echoed in a etatiling
manner tbiongh tbe tilent corridors of the
boilding.
Engel lay motionless, os did Par sens,
exsopt at limes tbe latter slatted notedly,
as if dreams were coursing through his
mind. Then, at intervals, me silence wac
broken by tbe stealthy walk of tbe irated
guard, who made the ronuds of the lower
corridi r to see that ell was well, Tne only
other distorting element was the mewir g
of the j til o n, who kept up the noise so
persistently, that at lust a deputy bore
down, captnred and removed her to the
basement, where her ories ooald not be
heard. All the oommun piaoners, to the
number of SCO, were left in their usual
cells.
Some time after midnight Persons com
J deiced that the bom olaonvenatlonin the
siler’s office annoyed him and pterented
him ftoui sleeping. The wooden door be
tween tSs* office end tbe’well room
closed end the Tries Aneicbist dropped
into onessy slnmber
ix th* snxiuvr's rmex
a bnsy crowd of reporters stood writing at
a high desk or loanged about talking with
the deputies Occasionally a heavy step
rounded on tbe iron slslrs outside end the
storm door was opened, reveeling a candi
date for admission to all tbe horrors pro-
vtd-.d (or tbe possesion of passer. From
witbiu tbe lawyers’ cage earns the sb-rp,
metallic click of tbe Assooietid Press in-
strnment dispatching tbe gathering Inci
dents of tbe night. Along tbe otherwise
silent corridors aonnded tbe slow, regular
tramp of tbe deputies composing tbe death-
watch, to and fro ceaselessly, in front if the
ceil doors, behind which were
TBE VOVR FORFEITED LIVES.
At britf intervals, when the bum of o m-
venation sank low, conld be beard the
measured tick of the clock on tbe rffloe
wall, marking lime for the ones for whom
time wonld soon be no more; bnt on tbe
street armed policemen paced tbeir beats,
and ell who bad no tusinees In the neigh
borhood were promptly orderod to move
on, and if they did not move at one* they
were assisted.
Tbe jsll proper occupies tbe IUiooit
street front of tbo building, while than

Michigan street. On tbe latter front it
the main entrance, through which ell who
onter most peas. This opening is gosrded
by a heavy double Iron door, wbioh is kept
olosed ana fastened by padlook end chain.
Immediately within tbe door itrod two
trasty policemen, armed with breeoS-load-
ing rifles and carrying thirty-eight rounds
each in a convenient eartridge box. A step
sounds in tbe onter vistibale end from tbe
watchful sentries comes tbe stern cry,
“WHO COMES THERE?'
A voloe from tbo ontside replies, then tbe
padlock opens, tbe ebein rattles andth :
doors slide spsrt s few inches and a survey
is made by the gnards of the Individual
applying for admission. If bis credentials
are satisfactory the door* ere opened suffi.
cisntly for him to pass in. Iustdo tbe
other gnards, bearing rifles, move about
ovet the tiled flior, end at tbe hral of the
wido stairway leading to the upper flror the
mussloof a loaded rilU, In the handa of on

Tbe court looms above were oocupied by

About one o’clock, wttle ibete *s* com

minutis later the sheriff emerged, and iu
reply to a chorus of inquiry said that “he
bed not jnst fired tbe time ns yet.”
The manuscripts which Bpies, Persons
and Fiacher spent a portion of the morning
in preparing were
in run wnrrTEN statements,
the nature of whion wonld not be divnlged
by any of the officials. These were deliv
ered into tbe bunds of Clerk Price, Who
turned Hum over to tho sheriff, and that
official looted them in bis personal safe. It
wasaPited by the kbiT.ff that Bpifi, Par.

Pm. ns’s letter was addressed to hia wife
and childret; that of Fi-chrr goes to his
wife, bnt tbe address of that of Spies tbs
sheriff refused to dtvnlge. It is supposed
it ia for Nina Van /.-.ndt. B.-fore 10
o’clock Dr. Gray went into tbe prisoneis’
cells for the sioend time, beerlug in biB
hinds three wine glasse.a and a bottle of
Jarvis brandy with wbioh to braoe up tbe

down the cord close against his neck, and
he did not show a tremor; bnt when tho
B»me process was betog carried out with
Fischer, ho turned and quietly whispered lo
tho bailiff some sugges-nons concerning tho
rope. Fischer’s occasional bravado was
quite noticeably less when be

and Engel bit bis under lip bard, when hie
torn oamo. Just then Dr. Murphy, n young
physician, standing back of Knge 1 , whis
pered a joke at Engle’s car. Incredible ns it
may seem, the low-browed Auurchist
laughed outright with tho rope around his
neck, and while another was being fas
tened on Parsons by his side Bat tho gro
tesque lsngb stopped in a single instant,
and Parsons, meekly as a saint, tnrned hia
eyes upward at tho dangling line above
him. Deroro tbe fanr Anarchists bad no
inkling of wbat was to be done, tho •white

attached to the sueriff’s office.
■At 10 o’clock Pars jus, Fischer and Spies
oakod for twenty miuntes each on tbe gal-
lots iu wniuli lo make speeches. The sher
iff did not Immediately return (fly answer
to tho re quest.
At 10 a. m. Pitcher sang tbe Marseillaise,
in which the other prisoners joined.
Abont this time, Polioe Iospector Bon
field, wbo commanded the polios at tbe Hay
market, entered Ihe jail, looking at glim as
he did within halt au boar after the famous
bomb massacre, Fischer continued to
uako a display of bravado, Boon after

he spoke to Turnkey Eiubb, and, In
