The letter is printed under the heading, “August Spies as man,’’ but is devoted to proving that, while Spies andLingg had different ideas, the editor, neverthe¬ less, had a high opinion of the bomb maker. Schwab asserts that when Death Watch Osborn, informed Spies of Lingg’s death, Spies burst into tears. The letter further says that w’hen Fielden, Spies and Schwab were taken to the jail library, the afternoon of the day before the hang¬ ing to bid good-by to their families, the trio were in the room for fully two hours, in company with two deputies; that con¬ versation naturally turned to Lingg’s death, and “we all agreed that he was mi extraordinary man.” Spies said: “Lingg could was a man of strong principle and not be frightened back from any idea that he had undertaken as principle. He was impelled by high ideas. John Brown was such a man. Freuch revolution had its Dantou and its Marat, and also the American revolution showed characters similar to Lingg.” The Arbeiter-Zeitung also publishes a letter addressed to the wife of Engel, by a certain showman, offering her $10,000 for the body ol exhibition Lingg,°the in purpose different being cities to throughout place it cm the United States.
