All of the Anarchists Found Guilty
of Murder Except Neebe.
His Punishment Fixed at Fifteen Years'
Imprisonment, While Spies, Schwab,
Fielden, Larsons, F'iselier, Fngel
and Lingg Will Swing.
Chicago, Aug. 20.—The Judge finished his
instructions yesterday at 2:50 p. m., and the
jury immediately retired.
The defendants listened with eager atten
tion during the reading of the judge’s instruc
tions to the jury. Parsons took notes through
out the entire reading, while the others con
tented themselves with listening merely.
At 3:80 o’clock Judge Gary, after consulting
with the attorneys for both sides, ordered
that the jury be brought back to the court
room to receive some instructions in the law
regarding the crime of manslaughter.
The jury was instructed that it could return
a verdict of manslaughter in the case of any
one or all the prisoners without conflicting
with the terms of the indiclment. The crime
of manslaughter was defined, and the jury
having been instructed regarding the penal
ties the jaw prescribed, again retired.
It is admitted that some portions of the in
structions offered tiro jury an opportunity to
discriminate between the defendants in the
Blatter of theirguilt and the relative degrees
of punishment to be fixed, and that this may
result in an adjournment before a verdict has
•■een returned.
At 6 p. m. thecourt adjourned till 10 o’clock
tliis morning without a verdict having been
found.
Mr. Foster was the first of the counsel to
tut in an appearance, arriving at 9;45. He
was followed shortly afterward by Mr. Salo
mon.
Judge Gary arrived at 9:47 o’clock, and
almost at the same moment Captain black
and Mr. Zeisler. completing the quartet of the
defendants’ counsel arrived. Captain Black
remarked to his wife when he entered. “I
have just had a tnIK with the prisoners.
They have seen the papers and know the
probable outcome. They will laughat death,"
said the attorney with a half tragic air. He
declared that they would show no excitement.
Quite a number of attorneys were allowed to
come within the railing, which served to give
the room a somewhat more crowded appear
ance. . _
The prisoners were brought into "the court
room at 9:52 o'clock and were seated at the
northeast corner of thecourt room on some
side benches. The court was called to order
at 9:54. The prisoners were observable to the
eyes of but very few in the court room. They
present, d about tie usual appearance, though
Spies and Fischer looked deathly pale.
The jury arrived at 9:55 o’clock. There was
impressive silence as they filed in.
When the jury appeared. Judge Gary en
joined absolute silence. There was a whis
pered consultation between the judge and
the clerk, when the verdict as follows was
read:
“We, the jury, find the defendants, August
Spies. Michael t-Yhwab. Samuel Fielden, Al
bert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George En
gel and Louis Ligg. guilty of murder as
charged in the indictment, and fix the penal! y
at death. We find the defendant, Oscar W.
Neebe, guilty ol murder in manner and form
as charged in the indictment, and fix the pen
alty of imprisonment in the penitentiary at
fifteen years.”
Captain Black asked t hat the jury be polled.
The jurymen answejff with firm voices.
Captain Black said InJFould <: :
motion for a new triad. %
State's Attorney Grinnell said it would be
impossible to dispose of the motion during
the present term, but by agreement the mo
tion could be argued at the September term.
This was agreed vo by the defense. The
court Let the motion be entered and con
tinued until the next term and the defend
ants taken back to jail.
The judge made a short speech, thanking
the jurors.
The foreman of the jury said: “The jury
have deputgtj to me the on! v agreeable duty
that it is to perform, and that is
to thank the Wuirt and the counsel for the
defenu and lor the prosecution lor your
kindljlcare to make us as comfortable as
possitS- during our confinement. We thank
you.’’ll
The •Hurt responded very briefly. The pris
oners had filed out during this interim under
the guidance of the bailiff's. Hardly had the
Jury left the room, when a piercing shriek
was heard, followed bv the heavy falling of
the wife of Schwab to the floor, to whom the
result of the verdict was interpreted. She is
also the sister of Schnaubelt, the
alleged bomb thrower. She was carried out
to the air by the police, and soon revived.
Mrs. Parsons looked haggard as she started
to leave the court-room, but maintained a
moderate degree of composure. The crowd
remained outside for an hour after the read
ing of the verdict. It is understood that the
authorities now contemplate the immediate
arrest of all persons, even indirectly con
nected w itli the Haymarket tragedy, lor con
spiracy, and that to this knowledge many of
the active leaders hearing the outcome of the
verdict, are preparing to leave the city.
All of the relatives and personal friends of
the condemned Anarchists immediately left
thecourt room shortly after the swooning of
Mrs. Schwab, with the exception of Mrs. Par
sons and her female companion, who, after
leaving the court room, returned and seated
themselves by General VV. H. Parsons, of
Texas, a brother of one of the condemned.
The trio discussed the outcome among them
selves, and dwelt upon the possibility of a
reversal of the verdict by the Supreme
Court.
The eight prisoners were conveyed through
the covered Iron way. which leads front the
courtroom to the jail, and were at once
placed in the “cage,” a small compartment
near the entrance to the jail, which is heavily
burred and very completely cover- <1 with a
thick wire netting. They were joined there
shortly by their four attorneys, who extended
to them wh it encouragement was in their
power, of relief on an appeal.
Spies had divested himsell of his coat and
seemed to be the most thoroughly composed
of the eight. He declined to converse with
any one but his attorneys, but it is stated
that he had a premonition that his fate was
sealed.
Engel. who has maintained a very quiet air
throughout the trial, appeared to he the most
thoroughly depressed one of- the tot. He sat
on a bench with his hands clenched in front
of him, looking at the floor. He did not even
look up to respond to a remark from one of
his companions.
i.ingg, the joung hombmaker, walked
aianit the “cage” somewhat nervouelv, and
would not respond to a salutation to a news
paper reporter. He had ost his smile and he
displayed the effect of the excitement of the
ordeal of the morning by a complete loss of
color.
Parsons, who hnd given himself upfortrial,
looked disconsolate and broken down, but
joined in at intervals with questions directed
at the attorney Si
Fischer, v, ho had looked very badly during
the tria! having an almost absolutely color
loss face. had. in a measure, recovered him

Curing Official Dishonesty.
Washington, Aug. 24.—The following is
a copy of a curious letter recently received

man living in Dakota: “I respectfully
request you to inform tne what it might
cost to take out letters patent
on a new discovery of a -valuable, safe,
sure, and infallible cure for official corrup
tion, so much needed at present. My med
icine I have prepared in a liquid form, but
there is seemingly no demand. I now pro
pose it dry in form of powder that can be
dusted on the floors of Congress or left in
the desk of the invalid affected with that
dire malady now- eating the vitals of our
beloved country.”

Mr. Sedgwick’s Mission.
Washington, Aug. 24.-—An official tele
gram has been received from Minister
Jackson confirming the press report of Cut
ting’s release, but giving no particulars.
No doubt is entertained at the department
that the published statements with regard
to the reasons alleged by the Mexicans for
their action are correct. The release will
not affect Mr. Sedgwick’s mission, which is
to learn all the facts in the case. The Gov
ernment does not at present concern itself
with any question of damages due Mr. Cut
ting, but will use the information it may
gather through Mr. Sedgwick in the fur
therance of its negotiations for a change of
the Mexican laws in so far as they are held
to give a right to try Americans for acts
committed within American territory.

Military Preparations in Ireland.
Dublin, Aug. 24.—The Curragh of Kil
dare, the great plain owned by the British
Crown in the heart of Kildare County, and
used for military purposes, is the scene of
unusual activity at present. The place is
being put in readiness to receive five addi
tional regiments of infantry and four ad
ditional regiments of cavalry. These fresh
troops are to be used in assisting in the
worn of eviction during the coming win
ter. The authorities expect that the de
fault in rents among the Irish peasantry
this winter will be unusually great, and
that the present force in Ireland will, un
less much strengthened, prove totally in
adequate to the work of protecting the in
