in front of his cell have watched him every minute Lingg has al ways been regarded as the most desperate anarchist of the lot It was he who manu factured the bombs for the Haymarket riot ami in whose cell the bombs were found last Sunday MOW HE DID IT Later it wfis learned that Lingg ended his life by means of a fulminating cap aud not with a revolver as at first supposed He held the cap in his

were denied clemency Thus Spies ischer Parsous and Engel will be hanged TILE The following is the decision in full in the anarchist case: State of Illinois Executive Office Springfield Nov 10 1887 On the 26th day of August 1886 in Cook county criminal court August Spies Al bert II Parsons Samuel ielden Michael Schwab Adolph ischer George Engel and Louis Lingg were found guilty by the verdict of a jury and afterwards sentenced i for the murder of Matthias Began An appeal was taken from such unding and sentence to the supreme court or the state that court upon a final hear ing and after mature deliberation unani mously affirmed the decision of the court below The case dow comes before me by the petitions of defendants for considera tion as governor of the state if the letters of Albert Parsons Adolph ischer George Engel and Louis Lingg demanding uncon ditional release or as they express it erty or and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or the commutation of the sentence pro nounced against them can be considered petitions A pardon could it be granted which might imply any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them would not be such a vindication as they demand executive intervention upon The grounds insisted upon by the four above named per suns coma in no proper sense oe aeemea an exercise of the constitutional power to grant reprieves commutations and par dons unless used upon the belief on my part of their entire innocence of the crime of which they stand convicted A careful consideration of the evidence in the record of the trial of the parties as well as of all the alleged claims for them outside of the record has failed tn produce upon my mind any impression tending to impeach the verdict of the ortho judgment of the trial court or of the supreme court affirming the guilt of all these parties Satisfied therefore as I am of their guilt 1 am precluded from consid ering the question of a commutation of the sentences of Albert It Parsons Adolph ischer George Engel and Louis Lingg to imprisonment in the penitentiary as they emphatically declare they will not accept such commutation Samuel ielden Mi chael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition for ielden and Schwab in addition present separate and petitions for com mutation of their sentences While as said above 1 am satisfied of the guilt of all the parties as found by the verdict of the jury which was sustained by the judgment of the courts a most careful consideration of the whole subject leads me to the conclu sion that the sentence of the law asm Samuel ielden and Michael Schwab may be modified as to each of them in the inter est of and without doing vio lence to public justice And as to said Samuel ielden and Michael Schwab the sentence is commuted to imprison ment in the penitentiary for life As to all the other above named defendants I do not feel justified in interfering with the sentence of the court While I would gladly have come to a different conclusion in regard to the sentence of defendants August Spies Adolph ischer Geo Engel Albert 11 Parsons and Louis Lingg 1 re gret to say that under a solemn sense of the obligations of my office 1 have been unable to do so Signed Richard Oglesby Governor Pertinent to the Occasion MATTEBS arinng on to drama Chicago Nov 10 Attorney Solomon appeared before Judge Tuley this afternoon and made his application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of A II Parsons Ills points were that the process was void the record saying the defendant was pres ent when he was absent He claimed that the order of the court directing the execution of the anarchists on November 11th was unconstitution al and void inasmuch as such final pro cess must read: the name of the people of the state of lie read many decisionsin support of his point One of Mr main points was that the Illinois supreme court should have re turned the case to the lower court where sentence should have again been pro nounced The neglect to do this he argued was a fatal error The writ was refused bv Judge Tuley A JURYMAN IN DANGER About eight to night a bomb was found by Thomas Maloney in the rear of the residence of James Brayton on Yale near Sixty third street in Englewood The bomb consisted of a piece of gas pipe twelve inches long and about two inches in maiueier niiea witn pieces of iron and a substance supposed to be dyna myte Mr Brayton was one of the jurors who convicted the anarchists He said to a reporter to night that he did not fear any organized attack but believed that trouble might be expected from cranks He had received several threaten ing letters since sentence was pronounced on the anarchists and has consulted with reference to them with Chief Ebersold Attorney Grinnell and Captain Schaack Two officers were detailed to guard his house sweetheart Ida riedel which is the correct name instead of Mueller of was seen at her home to night and asked what she thought of the suicide always thought Lingg was a resolute fellow said she thtnk he did right in killing think it better to die like Lingg did' than to be hanged and to helplessly allow himself to be dragged to the gallows and choked to In reply to further questions the girl said she would not send word to mother and did not care to be bothered further ahnut tha kbehad hardy left the reporter when loud sobbing was heard in the other room showing that the calmness had been forced and that she broke down after closing the door A sensational article appeared in the morning paper and was telegraphed widely over the country stat ing that 16000 men of the Central Labor Union had resolved to make to morrow a holiday and were probably going to make a grand demonstration on the streets In vestigation of the report to day

Its Lingg! That came from A rapid movement by tne turnkey tiung the cell door open and with an eager peer into the shadows two excited deputies jumped pell mell in and their ejaculations of terror brought other guards quickly within call AN AGE ENDLESS AGONY and suspense was passed by the jail in mates in the cells above and around There was a shuffling of feeton the stone floor and then a hundred strained eyes watch ing down through the iron doors and bars saw a group of guards in their shirt sleeves struggling across the dimly lighted area bearing the legs and arms and the body of a man between then: The upturned face was a huge clot of blood but the turnkey who supported the head had his lingers wound tightly into the un mistakable brown curling ringlets of the bomb maker Louis Lingg The big key of Jailer olz gratingin the main luck interrupted for a moment the sound of the pattering blood on the white stone pavement There was a creaking of rusty hinges and the anarchists and com mon jail birds had gazed their laston Louis Lingg A few steps brought the huddled up cortege to the bath room of the jail a stuffy little apartment scarcely ten feet square Lingg was dumped on the lioor with scant tenderness by the men who have been daily half expecting to meet their death at his hands To all appearances the an archist was stark dead His lithe athletic form was clothed only in a short tunic and his brawny limbs seemed rigid A small pool of gore was soon floating the brown curls surrounding his broad shoulders and I one glance showed how Lingg had striven I with dynamite to blow off
