CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
GOVEItyon OGLESBY'S STERN DE
CltEE SETTLED TUEIll FATE.
l.inn^ Commits Suicide—Bombs Exploded In
Jail— Clemency Toward Fielden and
Schwab—TUe Rest Hung.
Louis Linng, one of the seven con¬
demned anarchists in the Chicago jail,
ceded his life the day before the one
fixed for the execution, by means of a
fulminating mouth cap. He had the case in his
and lit it with a candle which
was burning the in his cell. The explosion
was first warning that the jail people
had, the guard seeing him with the can¬
dle in his hand supposing that he was
lightingacigar. plosion Immediately after the ex¬
cell, Deputy O’Neill ran into Linng’s
which was completely enveloped in
smoke. There he found the anarchist
head lying on his back with great holes in his
from which the blood was rushing
in torrents. The scene in Linng’s cell
after the explosion was ghastly. Teeth,
bits of jaw bone, shreds of flesh and
blood were scattered all over the narrow
compartment. A little trail of blood
marked the way over the stone flagging
to the room where Linng was carried.
Tire dying man was carried to the office
of the jail, and placed on a hastily im¬
provised table. By this time three phy¬
sicians had arrived. One dressed the
torn flesh, another gave attention to the
tongue of the mortally wounded man. A
portion of the tongue was left and was
attached to the palate. This fell back
into his throat, stopping Linng’s breath¬
ing. The physicians pulled this back
and a string was attached, which was
held by a deputy, thus allowing respira¬
tion. While this was going on another
surgeon operated a deodorizer. Another
had a syiinge in his bandy and frequent¬
ly injected portions of brands and again
doses of salt. Morphine injections were
also given. Linng died four hours after
lie exploded the bomb.
When the explosion occurred, all the
anarchist prisoners were on their feet
in an instant, and every one of them
looked stunned and frightened. Jailer
Folz at once gave orders to have every
one of the other cells searched, and Par¬
son’s was the first one a descent was
made upon. Deputies entered his cell,
took him by the wrists and shoulders
and led him to Jailer Folz’s private until his of¬
fice. There he xvas detained
cell was thoroughly searched, and noth¬
ing was found. The ex-editor of the
Alarm shivered with excitement, fear and
curiosity. His face was white and his
eyes looked ready to start from their
sockets. He was in his shirt and trous¬
ers, and a wide felt hat shaded his face.
Within fifteen minutes after theexplosion,
Fischer, Parsons and searched Engel in were the taken jail¬
from their cells and
er’s office. All their clotliicg was taken
from them and new suits, made by the
sheriff’s orders, were given them.
Turnkey O’Neill discovered the little
agent which had served Linng to accom¬
plish his terrible work. It was a small
fulminating cap, little over an inch long.
It had been filled with fulminate of nier
ctry and a . m 11 fuse, which is usually
attached to uiese instruments of death,
had been touched off by Linng. At the
time of the report it xvas thought he was
lighting a cigar. When Liung committed
the deed he was lying on his cot. After
the affair, when his cell was searched,
another candle was found. At the top
of it, barely concealed by the ends of the
wick, a second fulminated cap was found,
so it is supposed that Linng’s attimpted
suicide was committed with one similarly
hidden. The candles were furnished by
the jail, so that the caps must have been
put iu by Linng himself.
The explosion in Linng’s cell created a
decided sensation in jail. All the prison¬
ers. over two hundred, heard the report.
Jailer Folz was the one xvlio carried tbe
nexvs to to the other anarchists.
The jailer killed apjiroached himself,” Parson's said cell. Air.
“Linng has God, is that so?” exclaimed
Folz. “Great
Parsons. “Yes, it’s a fact,” was the re¬
ply, “Well, my God,” exclaimed Par
sons, s, “I wish I had some dynamite. I
would kill myself only too quick.” Au¬
gust Spies was then informed of the trng
edy. “I expected nothing else,” said
Spies quietly. “Ever since the finding
of the bombs in his cell, last Sunday, I
was satisfied that if it were possible he
would make away xvith himself. For my
own and my comrades’ sakes, I am glad he
is out of the way.” the How is the dynamite
was smuggled into cell not known,
hut it is generally believed that there is a
traitor among the death watch who gave
him the dynamite and cap. This is the
theory at the sheriff’s office.
Jailer Folz l^iir. said, “Linng had a very
bushy head of It is not without
the bounds of possibility that he placed ihere
the cap in his locks and kept it
while xve searched him last Sunday. At
that time he was stripped completely.
AIv deputies searched his clothing and
could ,, find nothing of . . . char- ,
a suspicious
acter ” He thus explains the manner in
Avhich Linng took his life. He said:
•‘Linng, in some xvay became possessed of

one and one-half inches long. It is made

entire innocence of the crime of which
they stand convicted. A careful consid¬
eration of the evidence in the record of
the trial of the parties, as xvell as of all al¬
leged and claimed for them outside of
the mind record, Inis failed to tending produce to upon
my peach tiny verdict impression the jury, im- the
the of or
judgment of the trial court, or of the su¬
preme court affirming the guilt of these
parties. Satisfied, therefore, ns I am, of
their guilt, 1 am precluded from consid¬
ering the question of the commutation of
the sentence of Albert It. Parsons, Adolph
Fischer, George Engel and Couis Louis
Linng to imprisonment in the peniten¬
tiary, as they emphatically declare they
will not accept such commutation.
Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and
August Spies unite in the petition for
“executive clemency.” Fielden and
Schwab, in addition, present separate
and supplementary petitions for While, a com
mutation of their sentences. as
said above, I ant satisfied of the guilt of of
all the parties, as found in the verdict
the jury, which was sustained by the
judgment of the courts, a most careful
consideration of the whole subject leads
me to the conclusion that the sentence of
the law as to. Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab may be modified as to each of
them in the interest of humanity and
without doing violence to public justice.
And as to said Samuel Fielden and Mi¬
chael Schwab,the sentence is commuted to
imprisonment in the penitentiary for life.
As to all the other above named defend¬
ants, I do not feel justified in interfering
xvith the sentence of the court. While
I would have gladly come to a different
conclusion in regard to the sentence of
the defendants, August Spies, Adolph
Fischer, George Engel, Albert It. Par¬
sons and Louis Linng, I regret to say that
unde r a solemn sense of my obligations of
office, I have been unable to do so.
Richard J. Oglesby, Governor.
When the news of the commutation of
the sentence of Fielden and Schwab xvas
received at the jail, activity. there was an extra¬
ordinary scene of The news
xvas sent to the relatives of all the con¬
demned men and in a short time they be¬
gan to arrive at the jail, and the first of
the women to come wa< Mrs. Schxvab.
Soon after Schxvab was brought from his
cell to the main office. His xvife quickly
advanced to him and throwing her arms
about his neck burst into tearr. Schwab
returned the embrace in a calm manner
and soon the txvo were chatting quietly
together. After this, Spies and Fisher
xvere brought from their cell and taken
to the jail library. Engej was brought
to the private office of Jailer Folz. 'this
xvas done for the purpose of alloxving rel¬
atives to take their last interviews. The
first one of the xvomen to arrive after
Mrs. Schxvab was Miss Engel, daughter
of the condemned anarchist. When the
txvo met in the private office there impossible was an
outburst of grief, which it is
to describe. The father and daughter
clung to each other and sobbed convul¬
sively. Their conversation xvas in Ger¬
man .and listened to only by Deputy Ole
son. Then came Mrs. Spies, mother of
August. She had been waiting outside
for an hour and a half. Her sobs could
be heard through the corridors of the
building. with She did not stay long in the
library her son, and on her exit
from the jail, Mrs. Fischer was admitted.
She xvent into the library,and her lamen¬
tations xvere heard above the tramp of
the deputies, who swarmed about the
places. But the croxvning scene of all
xvas the visit of Nina Van Zandqtbe proxy
xvife of Spies. She was conducted to the
library by Deputy Eason. As she xvalked
through the main office she betrayed no
emotion, but the moment she saw Au¬
gust, however, her demeanor completely
changed, ” and there xvas a look, then a
^/other's K:lsp d in a trice the lovers were in
arms. A number of curious
^ ortcrs and officers crowded up } to the
f th lib but it was qu i ck iy
shut b f a deputy. ‘ and The interview between

lasted nearlv a half hour.

Ten companies, of twenty men each, all
bearing rifles, were posted about the jail
and streets in the vicinity, all under
command of Capt. George lluhbard, of
the central detail. Squads from the com¬
panies did guard duty at the entrances to
the jail and the Criminal Court building.

Rev. Dr. Bolton, of the First Metho¬
dist church, called ou Parsons-. His visit
lasted about three miuutes and his effort
to get Parsons to consider spiritual mat¬
ters were of no avail.
The gallows xvas put up in the northeast
corridor of the jail, where for many years
all Cook county hangings have taken
place. The scaffold was the same used
in the hanging of 1he three Italian mur
derers, but it" had been lengthened for
the purpose of swinging off the four nn
arehists at once. It xvas painted a dead
brown color. The sheriff gave personal no¬
tice to Spies, Engel, Fischer and Parsons,
that they would have to suffer -the ex¬
treme penalty of the laxv. A bomb xvas
found by Thomas Maloney in the rear oi
the residence of James Brayton, not far
from the jail. The bomb consisted ol
a piece of gas pipe twelve inches long
and about two inches in diameter, tilled
xvith pieces of iron and a substance sup¬
posed to be dynamite. Mr. Brayton xvas
