Immediately after the explosion of the bomb there was rapid firing on the part of the police and the crowd. He had heard Parsons, Spies, Schwab, and Fielden make frequent incendiary speeches on the Lake-Front, at No. 54 Lake street, ana other places. Capt.

William Wa-d of No. 21 Arlington street, in command at Desplaines Street Station, said that at 9:30 o'clock Inspector Bonfleld ordered the police out to go to the meetiug.

They then went toward Randolph street, and on that thoroughfare they went a short distance to the east, Thompson following them all the time. After talking together a few minutes the twain turned around and returned to the wagon where the speaking took place, and Thompson is of tho opinion that what they were conversing about was the bomb business. As they neared tno wagon from where the speeches were made Spies said. '''Kin Dm Inquest Held over umcer -An The jury consisted of the lollowing: J. J.

It was suggested that the State' s-Attorney had in mind the calling together of a special grand jury for the indicting of tho treacherous rict-ers, and that ail known Anarchists who participated in the meeting would be indicted by name on all possible charges, and that the indictments for the unknown rioters be S.

The first dash was made at a stuffy little cupboard, and as an officer brought out a bundle of coffee-sacking and carefully placed it on a chair, saying, Look out: Til bet that's dynamite." a shudder went throutrh the whole party. It was about four or five pounds of that fatal explosive, loosely done up in brown paper and wrapped in tbe coffee-sacking. Officer Marks, who stood nearest the bundle, was told to carry it to Central, and it. was stowed away in one ot tho empty vaults there with much fear and trembling.

Entering therj, Bon-luaiMMoui an extremely pale gentleman ii mi tbe deceased, living at No. 314 South Union -ll Dm street. He said his brother was 34 years or SB in a 4-iHk age, a shoemaker by trade, born in Germany, a widower, and leaving one child.

He said ho had no idea whatever as to how the deceased Alarm, was next seized, and the officers caught it came to the stand and ordered Fielden to cease talking ana commanded the crowd to disperse. At that moment the bomb exploded and an indiscriminate firing began. He has been a police officer for sixteen years. When he told the crowd, in the name of the State, he was executing the orders of his superior officer. After the fight was over he found one of his men dead and tbirty-uine wounded.

The dead roan was Degan. He was so close to tbe wagon wuen the bomb exploded that he could have put his hand on it, and spoke so loud that all must have heard what he said, and he kuew Fieiden heard his order. The foreman Have you ever been ordered by your superior officer to arrest these men (pointing to the prisoners) lor their incendiary utterances? Capt. Ward No, sir; but I think other officers have.

They're at raid, because they know what will be waiting for them." In the light of subsequent events Thompson found that this conversation had made a very deep impression upon his memory, though it is very probable that he would have forgotten it entirely had it not been for the explosion of the bomb, which gave rhe conversation he had overheard a t'earlul significance. During tho testimony Spies wore a sarcastic smile upon his features, and seemed to think this part of tho investigation was very funny indeed.

Schwab, however, did not, and once or twice vehemently interrupted the witness. May I ask you a question, sir?" he at lost came to bis death. Police Officers and Reporters oil the Stand. Is Louis Haas of No. 19 Lane place, a police Wm.

It was rumored yesterday that the State's-Attoruey would present a request in due form to Judge Rogers or Judge Garneti to impanel a special grand jury to act on tne cases of the Socialists Spies and Fielden, their associates, and dupes. The regular grand jury, it was thought, would not be impaneled till Monday week, and would have all it could do to attend to the ordinary jail cases. Some good citizens suggested a special grand jury, because they do not like rhe personnel of the regular one. A few good men like- Murry Nelson, A. J.

August Spies was the first speaker, the next A. R. 6 if broke out. Tho witness turned inquiringly to the Coroner, and that official said, "Certainly." Was 1," asked Schwab, addressing the witness, "speaking in German or in English?" "In English." promptly replied Thompson. "I don't understand German." Schwab settled back in bis chair, and he evidently thought it his turn to smile, lor a sickly grin overspread his features.

The grin was intended to convey to the jury the impression that, had be been talking to Spies at all, it would have been in German and not in English, his command over the latter language not being very complete. Schwab, however, can make himself understood in English very well, and can carry on a conversation in the Angio-Suxon very well indeed. Officer William Jones of the detective force was one of the party who made tbe search at the Arbt'iter-Z' ituna building in the morning. He arrestod Spies, Schwab, and Spies' brother, and took them to the Central Station, where they were locked up. Then he and other officers went back to the office, and in SDies' office-uesk they found two bombs, with the fuse all ready to light and everything about them in perfect order.

They found dynamite in three different places in the building, ln the desk they also found several caps and fuses, Tbe bombs may have been giant-pow "I'm ni corner ot Randolph and Desplaines streets. He saw the bomb falling to the ground Defore it exploded. Half a minute alter tbe explosion there were several shots fired from the op-posit side of the street, and Officer Degan fell upon him, his weight beariug him to the ground. The shots came from the southeast corner of Randolph and Desplaines streets and were not fired by officers. Degan had come to him just before he was shot, and had suggested going over to the opposit corner to see who were standing there.

The witness said he and other officers picked Degau up from the ground and carried him into the station. He did not speak after being shot. Capt. Ward, being recalled, said Degan was under Lieut. Stanton of the West Lake Street Station.

This company was instructed to keep the crowd from surging into Randolph street from Desplaines. He (Capt. Ward; was ten feet or more in front of the police line when the bomb was thrown. He did not give any order for bis men to Are. There was a great deal of confusion among the officers after the bomb exploded.

Ward, went north on up four red and two black flags and a couple ot printed banners, and all started away, leaving the office in charge of the clerk in the counting-room. These banners were translated and tbe mottoes they bore were, "Our Capitalistic Kobbera May Well Thank Their Lord We, Their Victims.

The pnee was a lively one. and, once at Central, the three were hurried into cells in the basement. The officers at once returned to the newspaner office and made learch of the place.

They found about 100 copies of the call for the hay-market meeting, Bd upon a galley, 3tiU undistributed, was the form of the villanous revenge proclamation which was scattered all over the city by a mysterious horseman Monday ninht after the riot-iag and shoollUK near the McCorruick reaper-wcrfca.

The Nihilistic agitators, Spies, Fielden, and their fellow-conspirators, remained in the cells beneath the detectives' quarters last night. This morning they will be committed to jail. At midnight Chief Ebersold permitted reporters to see the prisoners. All were willing to talk, and answered all questions put to them except those more pertinently connected with tbe horrid deed committed the night before.

Among members of the Board of Trade yesterday the deepest feeling prevailed against the perpetrators of Tuesday night's murderous work, and tho sentiment us expressed against the arch-Anarchists who incited the mob to the attack was of the bitterest nature. Were a movement made from this quarter of the town to take those fellows out or the Ceutral Station and hang them to the iamp-posts," said a prominent operator and director, "there are 500 men on this floor now who would lend willing hands in the work." Early in the morning Messrs.

Charles Singer, Charley Raymond, and other well-known members of the board circulated subscription papers for the relief of the families of the killed and wouuaed officers. Each list was rapidly filled with names ot members who set down liberal amounts op-posit, ranging from $10 to $500 each. At II o'clock the total amount bad reached $6,400. At 12 o'clock it was 9,342.50, and at half-past 2, when the day's bu-iness was over, the amount bad reached $11,200. A meeting of tho directors will be held this morning and steps taken to turn the money over to the Sectary of tbe Pol cemen's Benevolent Association or other proper authority, so that its immediate distribution may be assured.

The names ot contributors are about 300 in number. Mr. Philip Armour beaded one of the lists -with $500, and several members now absent in the East when communicated w.tb promptly telegraphed their subscriptions iu amounts of from S65 to $200. Tho money will be tendered in the name of the Chicago Board of Trade. It was not expected by tbe most sanguine that over $10,000 would be reached, and the liberal gift of $11,200 shows clearly the feeling that exists in trade circles.

He said that the mob there had merely thrown stones and bricks, a harmless amusement, and that there was no use for calling the. police.

At the age of 18 I attended an old-fashioned revival meeting, at which I was converted to the cause of Curistianity. Then 1 joined the Methodist Church, and subsequently preached the Gospel in my immediate neighborhood.

In 1869 I decided to leave England and emigrate to the United States, and reached here in July, 1869, going first to Onleyville, where I obtained employment in a woolen mill. The following July I went to Ohio and worked on a farm a short time, when I came to Chicago. On arriving here 1 was employed by "Long John" to work ou bis farm at Summit, HI. When winter camo 1 found employment in stone quarries, and have followed that class of work most of the time since. "Soon after my arrival in America I began reading tho works of Tom Paine, to which I became a convert, though I am now what is termed a materialist.

My Socialistic career began five years ago, when I joined an organization called the Chicago Liberal League. I at once became an active and prominent member of tbe organization, and it was principally owing to my efforts that tne National Liberal League was compelled to adopt the labor platform.

The bomb came from bade of the boxes, and landed aDout the centre oi' the street, between the first and second police platoons, about the centre of the line. The shell or bomb had a 1 ghted fuse, and that attracted my attention from its sizzing, and exploded as soon as it struck the ground. I was immediately in the rear of the shell, eight or ten feet, with Lieut. Hubbard.

At the time of the explosion of the shell there was quite a loud report and the street was filled with smoke. I think I heard Shots to the east of me, and then I heard the command of some officer to the police to charge. I didn't see Degan then, but saw him afterwards. Just alter the word to charge I heard a terrific firing from the officers, ana then I went soutb on Desplaines street, and at the southwest corner of Desplaines and Randolph I found tbe body of an officer. Officer McDonald tried to lift him up.

I afterwards learned that this was Officer Degan. I then returned to tbe centre of the street to look for Officer Elliott, my partner, and there found quite a number of officers and citizens wounded. I assisted in carryimr some oi' the wounded officers to the station. Questioned by the Coroner, the witness said: When the bomb exploded the ranks of the police seemed to spread, and then I saw great numbers of police lying on the ground piled across each other. Foreman Badenoch What remarks did you hear previous to the throwing of the bomb? Witness I beard several people in the crowd say.

"Hang them!" Burn their factories!" and similar ejaculations were very common. 1 do not know to whom these persons referred, as I was circulating around in the crowd all the time.

Officer Michael H. Marks, also a detective, testified to the finding of the explosive material in the Arbeiur-ZcUvng building, No. 107 Fifth avenue. Ho had been detailed by Lieut. Shea to make a thorough search, and did so.

On the second floor are Spies' office ana composing-room, and iu a small room just north of the office he found a bag flLed with saud and sawdust mixed with nitro-glycerine tbe same material as the bomb was filled with which exploded Tuesday night. He took it to the Central Station and Lieut. Shea suggested that it be tested. Several officers with a man named Buck, an expert at handling went to the lake shore ana made three experiments. The first was with some bricks, and they were pulverized; next a board and some stones were used, and the latter were Diown into the ISke, the board being entirely smashed; at the third experiment a pile of bricks and an Iron coupling-piu were used, the dynamite being put under it.

As he stepped Into the office he was recognized by a man living tbe name Oscar Niebe. Mr. Harrison iharply asked it' he was in chartre, and before a somewhat broken and disconnected luswer could be made tne Mayor demanded to know if a paper was to be printed. Niebe then explained, that Spies was arrested and that he baa just stopped in to see what effeel the excitement had upon the Arbeitcr-ZAtunu staff. "I want to know wnether tbe paper intends to rubiiah any incendiary articles such as appeared yesterday commanded the representative or the municipality.

Young Spies jumped to his feet and said he wanted to testify, and Schwab spoke up and signified his intention of saying something. Fielden was silent, while August Spies sat and smiled and never opened his lips. Christian Spies, August's brother, of No. 13 Park street, a hardwocci finisher, said he did not know what was going on, and went to the office of the Arbeitcr-Zciiung yesterday morning to read tho papers, when he was arrested. Tuesday night he was at Zepl's Hall, corner of Desplaines and Lake streets, at a meeting of the furniture-workers.

He heard the patrol-wagon and was going out on the street, but was told to remain inside. He could not see tne wagon trom which the speeches were made from a window in Zepf's Hall.

August Spies is a pale-faced, intellectual-looking German, 36 years of age. He as born in Hessia. and came to this country in 1873. He has been a Socialist all his life, and started a newspaper in support (jf that cause in 1879.

Liberal Donations from Various Sources. Early yesterday morning subscriptions for the relief of the dead and wounded policemen began to arrive at the office of Chief Ebersold.

Up to date over $25,000 has been subscribed. Very many of the iargest contributors to the tund refuse absolutely to have any publication given to their names. Some of them are large manufacturers, and they fear to direct the attention of the rabid Nihilists to themselves. Chief Ebersold, who had remained out of bed nearly all night, was sitting in his office at an early hour, when a certain well-known manufacturer of Chicago entered and said: You can send all the money that is needed to the families of the dead and wounded and I will pay all of the bills." Shortly afterwards another man, unknown to the Cuief, entered, and handing the Chief $100 in cash walked out without making his identity known. During the morning the following dispatch was received: New York.

Notification was received by the Chief that tbe hardware and iron trade had subscribed $1,500, which wouid shortly be turned over ln eash. A similar notice was received from the wholesale grocers. Nearly all ot the city banks sent in cash subscriptions of from $100 to $250, these subscriptions aggregating $1,405. The following resolutions were received, signed by all of the railroads centering In Chicago Itfjiolved, That the roads here in meeting assembled donate $10,750 to the Policemen's Benevolent Association iu view of the heroic eflorts of tho police and the terrible injuries received by a large number of the force ln the performance of their duty last night. ltestiiixd.

That the Chair appoint a committee of three to present to the Chief of Police tne sum officer gave a detailed description of with arms. He afterwards consented to speaa, as he wanted to defend the Socialists against the attacks of "capitalistic organs," who had the wounds found upon the corpse, and it was evident from mis that Degan's death was not the result of being struck by a bullet, but that he received a portion of the deadly bomb.

His speech, he says, was the most temperate that he ever delivered.

He strongly deprecated the throwing of the bomb, which be denounced as an "ill-timed and outrageous affair." It was, he thought. and the doctor said that it was very evident on top. It was exploded with the aid oi the percussion-cap used by miners, and the detonation could have been heard for a mile north and south along the open lake-front. The plank was rent and torn to splinters, while the two bricks were reduced to a powder. Another cbartre of about the same size was placed inside a steel counHtur link resting on a piece of a railroad tie and covered with another brick.

The explosion tore tbe link in pieces, bending and wrenching the ragments into all sorts of fantastic shapes. The remnauts of the two 'discharges were gathered up by the officers to be preserved.

Polk-st. Ticket offi- se. and i Anarchist Parsons. Pittsburg, May 5. Special.

Parsons, the Anarchist, whose incendiary utterences Arrive along Mnrket square, and towards 8:30 gathered around the wagon in front of Crane foundry on Desplaines street. August Michael Schwab was sworn after the Coroner had explaiued to him that he need not make any statement. He acknowledged an oath as binding to tell the truth. He said he lived at No. 51 Florimond street.

He had left home Tuesday uight at 7:40 to find Spies, whom the strikers at the Deering Beaper Works wanted to speak. He looked for Spies at the Hav-raarket and, failing to find either him or any other English speaker, i went to the strikers by himself and made a speech for them after 9 o'clock. So be could not have been on the wagon on tho Haymarket betweeu 9 and 10 o'clock. He went from his home to his office and through the tunnel to the Haymarket, arriving there about 8 :20. Mr.

Schwab did not recognize a stiletto that bad beon taken from Adolf Fischer, one of the compositors of the ArbeiUr-ZeUung, nor a revolver that was shown him. Ho denied any knowledge of how tho circulars that were distributed Monday and Tuesday were printed. He said he was associate editor of the ArbtiUr-Zeitung. It was usual lor the paper to furnish sneakers to.trades-unions and other organizations when asked for. He did not know wuo called the meeting bo went to Tuesday night.

A request for speakers was sent bv telephone. Samuel Fielden asked leave to make a statement and was "affirmed" by the Coroner. He said he had been invited Tuesday night to speak at No. 378 West Twelfth street. Before going there he learned of an important business meeting of American Group of the International Working People's Association, and decided to go there, but finally ran across the meeting at Desplaines and Randolph streets, and staid there.

He was not armed himself and did not know that any Hong, threats could be beard on all sides. The number of officers prevented any violent demonstration, but "They ought to be bung," "Hanging a too good for them," and such re-marks sounded on all sides. The prisoners re badly Iriebtened and miirhl havo broken from the officers to avoid the knots of spec-lors bad they not heard one loud-mouthed fcrsoncall out: "What's the use ot coppers driurirtag such as that to a station? Why don't Tou shoot 'era down and let their own kind cart bodies oil?" This party Just dodged a Mck-handeu blow from a detective, and the Jtmters were salely landed in the big room at 'itrai Station.

The last-named was allowed depart with her brother-in-law, as Leave. flesh was badly torn. It was noticeable that while the testimony of feDies got on the wagon with several at tho Haymarket meeting contributed not a little to precipitate th riot and consequent the witnesses who found the dynamite was i 41:10 a ni I Hi-Jo SS tsiass lis beinsr given, ana while Dr.

Bluthardt was giv Ion ing his description of the wounds on Degan grease, with no explosion, but leaving a peculiar ash and producing a most disgusting smell. Both specimens, when burned upon a stone between the City and County Buildings, gave exactly the same results, and Mr. Buck expressed the op nion that there could be no doubt of the nature and dangerous character of the stuff found in the printing office. Niebe was let go later. WHAT THE INQUEST REVEALED.

Positive Testimony of Many Witnesses Implicating the Anarchist Leaders. The inquest upon the body of Mathias J. Degan, the West Lake Street Station police officer who died shortly after being hurt by the bomb which exploded at the corner of Des-rdnines and Ranaolph streets, was begun by bioodshed at Chicago last night, is well known in Pittsburg, where, during the last few years, he has been a frequent, visitor and made many buly body.

The jury selected assembled at the County Hospital at 2 o'clock, and, proceeding to the morirue, viewed Degan's body as it lay upon the marble slab. A ghastly hole in the abdomen of the corpse plainly indicated the cause or death. The features of the dead man were calm and placid, and showed no signs of violent death.

He was iu this city in January, at which time he was asked by a reporter If it was true that a quantity of bombs bud been discovered in tne office of the Alarm in Chicago. Parsons reply was: "Certainly it is true. We do not pretend to make a secret of the manufacture of these bombs to be employed by Anarchists every wnerc upon emergency. Would you like to see one? 11 so, I can gratify the wish, as I have two fine specimens with me which now calmly repose in the inside pocket ot my coat." The offer was declined.

Parsons continued: These bombs are also largely manufactured right here in Pittsburg, and nearly every Sunday when the weather permits platoons of tne local Anarchists go out into the surrounding country and. in unfrequented spots which they select, get down to solid work by practicing the throwing of these bombs until their aim has become so accurate that they can strike a comparatively small target at exceedingly long ranges." Houston, May 5. Special. Several citizens here recognize an old acquaintance in Anarchist Parsons. Parsons is the son of the famous Confederate General, W.

H. Parsons, commander of Parsons' Brigade. Gen. Parsons was one of tho iiliant men of Texas and this eldest Anarchist son is said to inherit his father's versatile talents. For several years after tbe close of the Rebellion Gen.

Parsons published tbe Dadu Tdegraph or thja city, the first daily paper In Houston. In 1872 he joined the Republican party and accepted tbe nomination from this district for State Senator in the Twellth Legislature. The Twelfth Legislature was notoriously a corrupt body, and when Gen. Parsons closed his Senatorial body else in tho meeting was. He was just getting off the wagon when the bomb exploded.

As he stepped on the sidewalk ne was shot, in tbe left knee, but managed to walk down-town and took a car to Twelfth and Canal streets where his wound was dressed. He then went home and staid there till he was arrested. Fielden admitted having used some expression like this: "Throttle the law or the law will throttle you." He also admitted having discussed with Spies the use of dynamite in the United States as a means of redress, and stateu that the Arbeiter-Ziit wig bad, about a year ago, in nnmnnlet form uu article trom named and a list of the subscribing roads, together with the heartfelt sympathy of the representatives of the subscribing roads to the families of the killed and injur- policemen. Long John Wentworth also handed the Chief a check for $500 to the fund. The treasury of the Policemen's Benevolent Association has been completely bankrupted by tho deaths in the forc during the winter, and this aid is as necessary at this time as it ia welcome.

The money received will all be distributed tbiough the agency of the association to the families of the dead and paid In installments to tho disabled, all of whom are members of the association. Nurses and Financial Aid. During the afternoon Chief Ebersold received a dispatch from tho management of tho Society of the Red Cross at Washington, D. stating that the resources of that organization were at tbe command of the Chicago Police Department, The telegram also tendered the wounded men financial aid to the extent ol $10,000, should so much be needed.

A. R. Parsons followed Spies and dealt in statistics. The utterances of the speakers were unusually guarded compared to their speeches on other occasions. Fielden was shouting "In conclusion when Capt.

Bonfleld commanded the crowd to disperse. At the same moment a luminous object rose from the east sidewalk and fell iu the middle of the street in front of the police. An explosion followed. The centre of the platform seemed to be giving way. Then a few shots were beard ana the police began shooting.

There was a general fusillade for some time. He could not state for certain whether shots were fired by the crowd alter the bomb exploded and before the police fired. Foreman What language did the speakers address tho meeting in? ln English." "Have you ever heard these men make similar remarks on former occasions?" Yes. sir. The tenor of their remarks was always opposition to law and order and resort to violence." E.

W. May of No. 351 Division street heard Spies say at the meeting, in speaking of the trouble at McCormick's McCormick has said he was not responsible for the death of the men who were shot. If he said so he lied. He alone was responsible for their death." His discription of the arrival of the police and tbe throwing of tbe bomb was similar to that of the preceding wituess.

Edgar H. Owen, a newspaper reporter, living at No. 542 Hurlbut street, said he saw A. R. Parsons about 7:45 at the meeting and Parsons told him he had nothing to do with the meeting, and, jumping on a car, rode away.

He also saw Schwab there. He heard the speeches made by Spies. Parsons, and Fielden, and corroborated the" testimony given before as to the character of the utterances. The majority of the audience did not seem to be in sympathy with tne speakers. He heard Parsons cry "To arms!" "To arms!" "To arms! and this excited more enthusiasm than auy of the previous talk Fielden's speecn was fiery, and there was some applause.

The giantpowder found in the building of the Arbeiter Zeitung was ready for use if a cap or a fuse was applied. Detective Edward Cosgrove 6aw Michael Schwab in consultation with Spies on the wagon.

Henry E. O. Heinemann, a Tribune reporter, of No. 6724 Lafayette avenue, was present during Tuesday night's meeting. He met Schwab at Desplaines and Randolph streets, but did not talk with him.

He heard the speeches made, and they seemed to have an inflammatory effect upon some of the audienoe. He bad heard tbe prisoners speak frequently before, and tbe talk was in the Anarchistic vein. M. M. Thompson of No.
