Chicago, November 11. Somethin? after midnight Farson complained that the hum of con n'ei-'.ition in the jailer’s office annoyed him ami prevented him from sleeping. The Wooden door between tin- office and cell room was closed and the Texas anarchist dropped into on uneasy slumber. In the office a busy Crowd <4 reporters r local writing at the high desk, or lounged about talking with the depu ti<- . Occasionally a heavy step sounded on the iron stair outside and the storm door was Opened, revealing a candidate for admission to all tho honors provided for tho possessors of passes. From within the lawyers < ago came the sharp metalic click of the Associated Press instrument DISPATCHING THE <IATIIKI<IK<I INCIDENTS of the night, along the otherwise silent corri dors sounded the slow, regular tramp of the deputies, composing the death watch, to and fro, ceaselessly in front of the cell doors, be hind u hit h were the tour forfeited lives. At brief intervals whi n the hum of conver sation sank low, could bo heard the measured tick of a clock on the office wall marking time for the ones for whom time would soon be no more. But on tho street armed policemen paced their beats, and all who had no business in tho neighborhood were promptly ordered to move on, and if they did not move at once they were •Agisted. Tho jail proper occupies the Illinois •treet front of the building, while that part Wied by tho criminal court fronts on Michigan •trcct. On the latter front is the main en trance, through which all who enter must pass. This opening is guarded by a heavy double Iron door, which is kept closed and fastened by a padlock and chain. Immediately Within the door stand two trusty policemen •rined with breech-loading rifles, and carrying thirty eight round*each in a convenient car tridge box. A stop sounds in the outer vesti bule. and from tho watchful sentries comes tho •tern cry: “wno comes there?” A voice from the outside replies, then the padlock opens, a chain is rattlea and the doors Slide apart a few inches and a survey is imide by tho guards of tho individual applying for admission. If his credentials are satisfactory the doors are opened sufficiently for him to pass in. Inside, other guards, bearing rifles, move about over tho tiled floor, and at tho bead of a wide stairway leading to tho upper floor, tho muzzle of a loaded rifle in the bands of tho officer projects over the steps. The court rooms above are occupied by several companies of policemen with a whole arsenal <4 weapons and ammunition. In the room are numerous sentries ready to open on any suspi cious looking individuals who may approach on the surrounding roofs. The jail proper is reached by crossing a marrow court, di-amil and cold in darkness. In this part of the building special preparations fcax e been made for tho reception ot unwel come callers. Now ami then a louder voice than common tl< ats out from the cell room, wh< re some ordinary prisoner has waked with • cry. but from tho cells of the condemned com< -< only the low murmur of coin ersat ion be tween the guardshuul their wards. About one o’clock, while there was compar •tixo silence, the occupants of the sheriff’s ctlh o were .t.irtled by a crmdi ami bang from Xhe in.rib. in eurridor.

At ttx'M all wen* asleep. Fieldon and Schwab tn their • i ils in the second 1 ;er. bar ing retired before midnight. In the tirst dush of relief to them, imprisonment tor life was a very small (natter, and they could sleep in safety. About four Fischer awoke, and alter refresh ing himself with a draught ot water, r< lapsed into slumber. Not many minutes from six f> ‘clock cnuie day light. < old and pitiless as the aw about tol>e avenged, and a bustle different from that of night invailed tin si<lusi.ii ot the ■risen. The day of the hanging had arrived. Six ■’clock came, and the rumbling ot wagons, the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells Bold that the people outside were astir. But the anarchists slept on. It was just 0:45 ■'clock when Engel awoke. Within the next ten minutes his three doomed lonipanioiis ■pelted their eyes. They tumbled out of their ■oUand hastily dressed themselves. No con versation took place between tho anarshists •nd their guards. Spies and I’arsou, simply bade them good-bye, and m a few minutes tho deputies emerged' from the cell room. They ■rero relieved by others. Fischer was the tirst ■no to emerge from his cel). Accompanied by deputies he stepped over to the plain iron sink •nd took a good w ash, llis every movement wan closely watched. Spies next performed bls ablutions, ami seemed to enjoy them.

After n slay of eighteen minutes in Par sons’s cell, Dr. Bolton emerged and walking to Spies’s d<»"i, stood looking at thatindiy idual who glanced : t the clergyman and continued his writing. Lr.

Writ- ! ing material.; wvic furn'shed to Parsons and I Fis< ber, who immediately set about preparing I stasement.

The clergyman pas. cd around into the north corridor, and from the gallery I overlooking the indd t-ok a view’ of that i grim structure. 4 . nbe re turned and paced ' nervously back wai l and forward in front of ; the cells containing the anarchist. It was I now 8:30 a. in., ami not thirty f < t away from ' the coming victims a ma<- ive ir<m-barr<-d <mof : was clanging constantly, admitting crowds or i newspaper m< n ami deputy sin ril.s, crowding | the little roenn al co. i. to suffocation and indulg- I ing in a loud buzz of coir.a ; sat ion that c< u:d be heard plainly in the. cells. Nearly every body in tho loom was smoking mid what, with the fearful h cling of depression felt by tho most hardened, the place was nearly unendurable. It was at this moment that Dr. Mayer, assist ant county plQfih ;an, p - <’<l through and rap idly walked to the cells of the condemned. He asked each if there was any desire for stimulants, and all save Engel at once re plied quetly in tho negative. Liigol asked for some port wine. It was given him at once, and he gulped down three lai oj glasses. Spies requested water and seemingly consumed by a burning thirst, swallowed nearly two tumblers of the pure cool liquid. In jail office Deputy Burke was now passing around among the throng and taking up tick ets of admission, apparently indicating that tho execution was not far distant. This un usual proceeding was objected to by some, but all wa re compelled to submit. While stai.d.ng in front of Engel’s cell, Dr. Bolton was in danger of becoming involved in a religious controversy, for the condemned man boldly combatted the proportion of tho divine. Within a few minutes of nine, A MESSAGE CAME FROM MKH. TARSONH, through the bailiff, applying at the jail for ad mission. Her request was refused. 4’llo eherili ami his chief deputy were still poring over their documents, and gloom was deepening on the fare of every one in tho jail, whin suddciil.y a burst cl sunshine came through the topm< st windows, and went straight to t’- ii v *!>’.• i 11. Ho camo to the bars, and blinked and basked in tho welcome light. The governor’s decision on tho application fort veeutivc clemency was brought to Chicago by Governor Oglesby’s sou. Deputy Gleason intercepted tho nu ssu e on tho train near the city limits, and an official copy was at once brought to itie jail by tho <L puty. It was just 9:30 when tho information ticked from the as sociated press telegraph instrument a few feet distant from tho cells that Captain Black was at that very moment AGAIN PLEADING WITH GOVERNOR OGLESBY, nt Springfield. Tho message was handed in to Sheriff Matson, who glanced at it and then crumpled the paper sl< wly in his hand. What cver the sheriff thought, no expression of their import crossed his e mpressed lips. Five minutes later the sheriff emerged, and in re ply to a chorus of inquirk s, said that "lie had not just fixed the tine* as yet.” Tho manuscript which Spies, Parsons and Fischer sp. nt a portion of the morning in pre paring were in part written statements, the nailin' of which would not be divulged by any of the otib ials. These were delivered into tho hands of Clerk I’rice, who turned them over to the sheriff and that oilieial locked them up in his personal safe. It was stated by the sher iff that Spies. Pars-ms and Fiseherhad in addD tion written letters which he had also loi kcd up securely. I'a;sons’.; letter was addressed to bis wife ami children : that of Fischer goes to his wife : but the address of that of Spies, tho sheriff refused to divulge. It is supposed it is for Nina VanZandt. Before 10 o’clock Dr. Gray went into the prisoners’ cells for the second time, bearing in his hands throe wine glasses ami a bottle of Jarvis brandy, with which t«» brace up the im n. All of thorn par- ' took of the stimulant. Adjutant Hance, ot the I state miiitia, came into the jail at lOo’elock. I ami was immediately closeted with the sheriff Theoninionas to bis appearance was divided, some think'ng it relatedto some new disposition to bemude ul the militia, whileothers believed he carried a supi'loincntal’inewaKe from Gover nor Oglesby. About this time I’olicc Inspector Bonlii ld. who commanded ti e police nt the Haymarket, entered the jail, lu.-kiii■: r.sgrim an lie did w ithin a halt hour after the lauioui) bomb massacre.

Till: FINAL S( lI.XFJ, The MarrYi to tho Scaffold—Remarks of the Condemned 4he Trap Sprung. Cook Goiv.tv Jail, CLicngo, November 11. It L:/Red just sev< n minutes and a half of the hour of high noon, when a single white shioiukd figure, above which was a face of yeHowish pallor the. faro of August Spies— passed the first post of the gallows. The gap ing crowd, ten net below, half rose involun t rily from their chairs at the firr.t glimpse of the apparition advam ing across the scaffold. Spies looked calm and glanced at the re porters with a trace of his old-tiine cynical smile. He walked firmly over the drop, guided by the gi < pof a <lcp'itj r , to the furthest < uge of the gallows. Following close, came Fischer, close enough to touch Spies’s shroud had his hand not been pinioned under tin* white muslin. Fischer’s countenance had a peculiar glisten, totally unlike the asliim a of FngePs heavy features, and in strange contrast with the dead. lack of color in the pin< lied lineaments of Pz.rgpns. r.SRSONS’S APPF.\J<AN< E. The once jaunty, vivacious Tex'an came last, a withered old man. He had aged twenty years since the day, scarce twelve months be fore, when he tripped lightly into tho court before Judge Gary and flippantly d< lan dhe was ready to be tried at once for bis life. Tho moment his feet touched the scaffold Persons rcerned to completely lose bis identity and to feel that Ins spirit xvas no longer a part of his body. He had wrought himself up to an cc stacy nf solemn self-glorification, only lie- the one American—seemed to realize to tho full that ho must die in a manner to impress, if possible, on all future generations the thought that he was a martyr. No tragedian that lias paced the stage in America over made a more marvellous ]»resentation of a self-chosen part, perfect in every de tail. The upward turn of his eye;, his distant far-aw'ay look, and above all, an at titude of apparent complete rc-ignafion that every fold oi the awkward shroud only served to make more, distinct, was by far, the most striking feature of the entire gallows picture. 11 A > | Sr- " OSC AR NEEBE. The squat form of En gel, alongside with the stupid ,w ide-jawed i'aee, made a hideous contrast to I’arsons’s assumption of tlic halo of a martyr. Fischer was a bead and shoulders taller than tl.c other three, making his occasional looks of too-evident brav a <1 o more noticeable than,, they might be and at a sorry disad- : vantage compared with the steady coolness of Spies. The latter's ex hibition of quiet, thor ough nerve, far surpass- ed, as a wonder, the demeanor of any of his comrades. The four burly deputies, standing to the rear of the four condemned men, began with out delay to adjust the ropes, Spies’s noose being the one first placed. He did not appear to regard it as of any more consequence than a new linen collar. The knot was slipped down tho cord, close against his neck. Spies did not show a tremor, but when the same process was being carried out with Fischer, he turned and quietly whispered to tho bailiff some suggestion concerning the rope. Fischer’s occasional ardor was quite noticeably less when bo felt the hempen stiand and Engel bit his under lip hard when his turn came. Just then Dr. .Murphy, a young physician, standing back of Engel whispered a 'joke at Engel's ear. Incredible as it may seem, the low-browed anarchist laughed outright wit it the rope around his neck and while another was being fastened on I’arsons by his side. Hut the grotesque laugh stopped in a single instant ami I’arsons, meekly as a saint, turned his eyes upward at the dangling line above him. rUTTINC ON Till'. WHITE CAI'S. Before tho four anarchists had an inkling of what was to be done, white caps were deftly slipped upon their heads and drawn quickly down to their necks, shutting off the view of cadi as completely, and witli loss warning that does the camera cloth of a photographer. August Spies was the first of the fottr doomed men to make use of his wits while he could. In a tone of intense bitterness of spirit, he, the man who wrote the infamous "revenge” circular, hissed out between his tightly clench ed teeth: "There will come a time when our silence will be more powerful than the voices of those who arc strangling us to death.” The last syllable of Spies’s concluding words, hoarse with suppressed passion, bad not reached the end when Engel, raising his voice, wildly cried: “Hurrah for anarchy.” Fischer caught tho tiro of the utterance and stilt more loudly exclaimed: “Hurrah for anarchy!” adding: “This is the happiest moment of my life.” There was a silence like the grave, broken abruptly by the slow measured intonation of I’arsons, like a white robed priest before the altar of sacrifice, not as a dying request, imt rather like a command of warning lie sounded forth: ".May I be allowed to speak?” Then with a slow entreaty, came: "Will you let me speak. Sheriff Maston?” There was another agonizing pause. Muffled through the shroud bloke out iu unnatural hollow accents: “Let the voice of the people be heard.” I'AI.I. OK THE TRAP. A crash as of a failing house thundered through tho corridors. Tho slender ropes were taunt. In full view of two hundred men in front were four white writhing shrouds. The ropes could be seen slowly tightening about the necks, and bi tween the cap and shroud could be noticed blackening and pnrpling. N iue minutes passed. Then it was known to a certainty that not a neck bad been broken. Tho four Haymarket murderers had been lilt rally throttled and strangled by the law which they had defied. SCENES IN THE STREETS Directly After News of the Execution was Made Known. Chicago, November 11.—When the news that the end bad come finally reached the pub lic there was but little excitement. Extra copies of the afternoon papers were eagerly bought, but that was nil and business went on as usual. A visit to numerous prominent man factories where large forces of men were ent i ploy ed show every thing to be quiet and peace able w ith regular employes, in full numbers in their places. Around tho jail it was a military scene, and the crowd was impre sed with it. Over AM police, all united with repeating ritli s, kept guard of all the streets for a distance of a whole block from tbo jail. When the intelli gence Came outside that the men were on the scaffold, the ofii <rs who were outside Ute lines of police, went to the northeastern cor- I Iter of the jail c i Ulin, is street and wa ted. i On the root of lite criminal court builuin ■ whore they ; COVLD Lifts THItOV H -' :: OT '.HE C All | were posted nine ;. . ; . ; .1 n <’ t ' slteritl.

It was i undr rstood and a cry went up and in an inored i ibly ,'hort time the intellig uiee was blocks away and the buzz and hum of excited conver f sation sounded like the rising of the tide. In eight minutes, new .Loys were darting r through the crowds, bawling out, “Extra! i Extra!” "All about the anarchists being Lung.” It was w onderful to note how quickly > i the excitement, w hich had filled the jail .ell the morn ing, cal med down alter the execution. “ The 200 prisoners confined in the place who [ had been in fever heat during the tragic event of the day, regained their usual spirits. They CRACKED JOKES FROM CELL TO CELL and as they had had nothing to cat since break , fast, they soon began to yell for "soup,” soup.” The spectators, who had witnessed the hanging w alked rapidly out of the inclosure, . and the weary deputies went to dinner, the only ones left in the jail office being press rep resentatives. When the coffins wore brought to the scaffold, Sheriff Matson exclaimed: “His will be done.” Their bodies were lowered in tho following order: Spies, Fischer, Engel and Parsons. All looked natural. The cofiin lids were quickly screwed dow n and paper tabs were pasted on each for identification. The bodies were taken away from the jail about 1:45 this afternoon. For Spies a hearse had been provided. There was some trouble in getting aw’ay from the crowd that tailed on the last wagon, but rapid driving freed the procession from this annoyance. Followed by a string of cabs, and prec/Wled by a carriage containing a committee, the hearse and wag ons moved speedily along. There Aras no ex citement, and only a few persons gathered. The corpses were taken to an undertaker’s shop, where they will be dressed and allowed to rest until they are taken to the homes of relatives this evening. IN THEIR €ol'l INS. Crowds In the Street About the Homes of the Anarchist Families. Chicago, November 11.—The center of at traction for crowds ot curious people has been transferred tonight from the jail to Milwaukee avenue, where, in the homes of their relatives, the bodies of the dead anarchists are lying in their coffins. There were little crowds here and there along the street, throughout the evening, but, althought h e execution was everywhere discussed,there was little excite ment. The only sign of open interest was shown at Aurora 4'urnt-r hall, on Huron street, near Milwaukee avenue. Here a flag was at half-mast and ina; saloon, a little group of men gathered and expressed their disap proval of the hanging. There were some scowl ing faces here and a stranger w*as not cordially greeted, while clenched lists and ugly glances told of the unpopularity ot the English press. Tho saloon at tho corner ot Fullerton and Lincoln avenues, which is a rendezvous for tho socialists of tho Northside,was closed up this morning by the police, who mounted guard there all day to prevent its being opened and to stop the socialists from congregating in any place. Late last night a crowd of about 300 people assem bled in front of the store formerly kept by Engel, on Milwaukee aveime, and was har rangued by a brother of tne doomed man, who spoke in English and in German. Ho protested against the hanging of his brother and called it the murder of an inno cent man by a government, w hich was for the benefit of few and at the cost of many; a gov ernment, which George Engel had sought to overthrow. As he spoke the clangor and rum ble of a patrol wagon from West Chicago Ave nue station was heard and ten or a dozen po licemen cleared the place in an instant, push ed Engel into his store and made him lock the jilace up and put out the lights. SCHWAB INTEIiVIEWED. He Says That the Men Executed Were In nocent. CnrcAc.o. 111., November 11.—Tn an inter terview with a reporter today after the execu tion of the condemned anarchists, Schwab said: "I heard the trap fall and knew at once the end had come. They are dead men now and what 1 say cannot influence their fates or con ciliate mine, but I say, and with the con sciousness that its victims arc under the same roof with me, that tho blind prejudice of an unholy conspiracy has murdered live men as innocent of tho charge of which they were convicted as a babe unborn. But it is done and cannot be undone. Spies, Parsons, Fischer and Lingg were no more connected with the deatli ot' Matthias J. Dogan than you are. It is useless to protest the innocence of the men caught in the drag-net of the state’s attorney and Captain Schaack. 1 ex pect to spend the rest ot my natural life in prison, and am virtually dead tothe world,but the crime for which we sutler will some day be cleared up. It may come iu time to save Fielden and me, but the men who forfeited I their lives to-day will ever stand as a stain ou the escutcheon of tlie’country.” "Mr. Schwab,” asked the reporter, “are you satisfied witli the work of your counsel in your behalf?” "Yes, and no. I believe that had the proper method been pursued, wc would have had separate trials, and no seven juries ever em paneled would have found ns all guilty of the crime alleged.” A WABNING TO THE SHERIFF.
