Chicaoo, Not. 11, The condemned Anarchist,
Spies, Parsons, Engol and Flsober expiated their
horrible crime on the sallows this morning.
At midnight I went to the JalL The telephone

listened to the small voice whitened as lie received
word that Stato Attorney Grlnnellhad beet reported
that. He hurriedly told the rest and Instantly scouts
were sent to ascertain the truth. The oulcs of
, the Jail was rife with the mingling of many voices
and the restless hurrying to and fro of messingers
and busy reporters. Depot sheriffs lolled back in
easy chairs and beguiled the long hours with a
cigar.
Within the JaU proper all was quiet, Engel was
asleep on his cot, moving from time to time.
' Fischer ley on his toaok with his eyes dosed. Par
sons lay with his head towards the door and chatted
with tho death watch. Bples lay In bed
with his eyes staring straight Upward, for
sleep refused to visit them. no had

lome tune to their utmost, the sense of pain van.
Ishes and a dnlntss comes which by contrast is a
pleasure. The man dying of cold soon ceases to
shiver and fancies he Is warm and comfortable. I
have seen a poor victim ot a boiler explosion,
face, chest, arms and body stripped of
akin as tho hand may be stripped of
u glove, and yet he lay smiling upon
his cot declaring be felt no pain. But the mind how
that may be racked and scourged, with no respite
to come; the tormented sool writhing, struggling,
praying, shrieking, all In vain. No balm for that,
no escape, no staying of the hand laid so heavily
upon It; no stealing of an opiate calm to lessen the
anguish. How maddeningly slow and yet how
cruelly swift the hours whose Invisible fingers are
pushing the murderer to the scaffold, the rope
and the trap; the sleepy but romorseless clock
swings Its grim weight, whose every beat robs him
of bis meagre store of remaining tune. lie counts
the seconds: One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine how long it takes to check off
ten, snd yet the ten have gone forever, forever
and yet another ten while the swift thought Is pass

bests like a trip-hammer, like a knell, like the
clods upon a coffin. He stops bis ears with
bis Angers, but cannot stint out tho sound, for
now the heart trips to the same horrid meas
ures and Is recording Its own stops.

and soundness, best ntted to live and not at all fitted

end Is surely at hand, the p oor body Is Impoverished
of Its desire to live, the lamp Is low, the
intelligence feeble the power of the mind to ap
preciate the grim visitor approaching Is lessened,
and by easy stages dear, kind nature leads tho
sufferer Into unconciousness, and then tho way Is
painless and easy. But to know tho hour and

and yet to feel the lusty vigor of man

tides of health coursing through tho veins, every
faculty In open rebellion against the menace of
death; to spread ;the arms In all the prldo of
strength and know that In ao many hours and so
many minutes, with nothing to interfere, Is com
ing the summons which nono may disobey.
And then tho past I now thick the memorlos
throng to pay their last homage to their sovereign,
tho brain. Sweet and bitter, pain and pleasure,
all that whisper of hope and ambition and love and
home; all that can matter of despair and hatred
and suffering, oome the crowding gray monka
from their long-locked cells, messengers ot What
Has Been to what Is, Morltnrl Salutamusl The life
that bas been spent arises from Its grave and comes
before me life yet lingering upon tho threshold,
and sadly showa all that she has gsrnered,tellof

darkness! How stare those djlng eyes from the
wall) And now tbe very air la ley with terror
at that shriek of agony which nono bnt the con
demned wretch hoars, may bear again and again.
The deeds of the transgreaslon for which he must
die are passed In review; from the first to tho final
tragedy the grisly drama Is enacted. Then
tho long trial, the whirl of contending hope
and fear, the heavy blow struck by the
verdict, tbe dull half comprehension ot wast the
sentenco means, the long delsy, tbe revival of
hopo only to be dashed down again, tbe supremo
appeal, the final decision and the awful ,eertalnty
at last, with not a dsy between it and the hour ap
pointed. Now, what wonder that tbe tortured mind seeks n
pleasure in contemplating the agonies its own
crime Inflicted and In brutal wantonness repeats
thorn again and again. How the murderer in his
own hell of torments loves to reoolleot that he
made dcshqulvor and hearts nohe and souls suffer
all that hopelessness and despair have brought to
himself. Ills fellow-man is now not a brother, a
protector and friend, bnt an executioner, and ho
hates him.
tub dexbaob, or tub tour irxif.
Whrt of thsse thoughts passed through tbe minds
ot the four condemned Reds only their God might
know. Their demeanor was that of most crimi
nals, cool, Indifferent, or sullenly resigned. I
have seen many criminals on their last night of
life, and In bnt one, lira. Druse, have I seen
much nervousness or apprehension, and much of
that in her cue was due, I think, to themlstsken
kindness of a deputy, who gave her renewed hope
that the Governor would pardon her. The mind
dwelling long on one subject becomes dulled to It,
lute the often-struok key ot a piano which finally
becomes mute.
" The death watches were guarding each. The cell
doors were open snd one of (he watch was watch
ing whUo the other paced his vigil without. Not a
motion, not a sound eluded theao keen-eyed senti
nels appointed to see that the gallows Is not
cheated of Its due.
Flaber and Engel slept most of the time. Spies
wrote a while, then threw herself pn his bed face
down, Then he began chatting with his guard.
lie discussed calmly enough the Ilaymarket
tragedy, and said the authorities and the polloe
were alone to blame. He spoke ot the visit made
by tbetlev. Mr. Bolton and laughed as he recalled
his advice to the reverend gentlemen to go home
and not bother himself with prayers In so ussless a
causa.
r ARSONS SINGS "ANNIE LAURIE."
Parsons was restless too, but outwardly calm.
He sang " Annie Laurie " twice to his guard In a
voice hardly above a whisper. Ho said he was
willing to be Immolated In the causo and had noth
ing to rearet.
bples tried to sleep. At J o'clock he got np and
lighted a cigar, which he puffed In moody silence.
Then be went back to bed and closed his eyes, bat
It was evident he did not sleep. Parsons slept a
little, but at 4 o'clock he stirred uneasily and then
Tubbed his eyes, stared wonderlngly at his death
watch as though he had forgotten, reoollsoted
himself with a start snd composed himself again.
IXT8HE8TINO TO rSTCUOLOaiBTB.
These details are trifling, but ot Interest to the
psychologist, who Is tbns able to see the state,pnys
lcal and mental, ot the condemned.
Certainly a nervous man would have muchex
ouse for wakefulness In the hum of conversation
and the bustle In tbe jailer's office, not thirty feet
away, where deputies and reporters, messengers
Busnirr matson.
snd police, were ohattlng and working like a hive ot
bees, oomlng and going.
At 4.M deputy, who was watching for such
trifles to tall ma, called my attention toEngel's
mattering In his sleep. The tew words which
werecsaght were those of endearment, as though
hit dresuis were ot once happy and long ago days
before these troubles came.
BNOEL PROTESTS 1118 INNOCENCE.
Engel declared to-night that be was not at tbe
Haymarket and knew nothing of the bomb's deadly
work until the following day. This does not lessen
Engd's guilt, however. He wss foreman of the
Arbeiter Zeltung. He had the revenge circular
printed And he told the foreman ot the press-room
to hurry up for he wanted enough to dlttrlbuto tn
time to collect the armed meeting at the nay.
market.

At s. 10 a. it. the messenger brought two tele
grams, one for Spies ami one for 1'arsonr. Sheriff
Matson received and kept them until their owners'
should awake.
Fischer was now awake and smoking a cigar.
The others were ssleep.

was horribly clear la that upturned mats of raw
flesh, with nothing human In It but two wildly
staring eyes. The body will lie thero untu claimed
for the grave wltn the others to-day.
the instrument or death.
Next the deputy led me through a labyrinth of
narrow passages, occluded by wroughMron doors,
to the msln ball ot the prison, at the end of which
stood the Instrument of death. Its construction is
simple, Its frame gaunt and stiff, Its color a dark
red brown, as of long-dried blood. Two narrow
trusses seven feet high are Its support. They besr
up a platform 10 feet long by 9 wide,
the outer halt of which swings down on hinges.
This half Is to be supported by a rope, ilohlnd Is
a wooden screen, painted like the rest, and behind
this Is to be concealed tho hangman. When the
signal la given he wUl cut the rope and the trap will
tall with Ita freight. The beam Is a simple cross
piece on two stout uprights with braces at tbe ends.
Into Its lower edge, two feet apart, are stout bolts
of wrought Iron, and the fatal ropes dangle from
these. These are half-Inch manlls, selected with
great care. Two 100-pound bags have boen at
tached to each and dropped severs! times to teat
their strength. These bags were still gripped by
tbe nooses at s. so.
a terriblb necessity.
The apparatus to be used In this execution Is
called here the new scaffold, but three men have
already suffered death npon It
There In the dim light It stood swatting Its prey,
dark and grim a terrible necessity, and yet an en
gine ot public good.
BLEXriNO THEIR LAST BLEEP.
B.80 a. m. Darkneas still reigns, and compara
tive alienee baa settled upon the Jail. The con
demned men are all asleep. Engel and Fischer are
soundly ao, as their stertorous breathing attests.
Parsons stirs nervously from time to time, and
Spies is so still that it Is evident bo Is but dozing.
ALL COMERS CHALLENGED,
The court building adjoining Is barricaded, and
two officers with loaded muskets guard tbe Iron
door and challenge all comers, Thero are two
companies of police on gusrd In snd about the
building. All are armed with musket and re
volver, and all ready to use Ihciu If
emergency arise.
Just as soon as the city stirs reinforcements will
arrive on the ground, add still larger forces will be
ready to concentrate upon tbe signal at such point
where danger may threaten. Any attempt at
rescue would be a bloody one, but It Is extremely
Improbable any auch attempt will be made.
THE DANOIR Or A rUBLIO rUNERAL.
The greatest danger will come If the authorities
allow the proposed public funeral of the "mar
tyre" on Sunday. The attendance would be Im
mense and tbe feeling high, and If a collision Is to
comelt may bo looked for then. It Is to bo hopeil
that by Insisting upon linnu'Ulate burial to-day this
danger may be averted. It certainly would be a
wise precaution.

hour ago: " I am perfectly resigned to my fate. I
am a martyr and my cruel death will be good for
the cause. I could not be of so much service to
Anarchy living as by dying thus. This Is a view
which a clipping from a newspaper gave me, and
since I read It, I have not feared to die, "
MURDERER'S UOW.
Spies, while smoking bli ctgsr st I o'clock, said
laughingly to the guard! " Uoys, you will seo me
march up just as rnn as I am now."
MRS. rARSONS CALLED TOO LATE.
l'arsona talked ot great Icngih about religion, In

late at night that his wife had callod too late to be

Six o'clock jl, M.-The gray light ot the tut J
hours of the four felons' lives Is font stealing
like a ghost through the bars, and making the gas
flames burn with unnatural pallor. Tho great city

Parsons haa cut bis throat, it the Jail bas been

If the condemned men had been baptized. Several

READY FOB THE EXECUTION.
The last touches have been given to tho gallows,
the ssnd bags have been removed and the nooses
tested and found to bo In running order. The trap
Is now set tn position, and the axe to cut tbe rope
Is behind the screen. The procession of death will
have to mount to the first sailer, which la on a
level with a trap, and walk about 120 feet around
the two angles, for the gallows Is dlaifoually
behind the cell tho men now occupy.
The removal of the prisoner on that hide of tho
Jail has already begun, ono at a lime and quietly,
Kogel Is awake now, bnt the rest are aleoplng.
Peering up at the sullen sky through the grated
windows, Engel shrugged his shoulders and
remarked! "It is too bad we cannot have good

ANAECIIISM IK CHICAGO.

fectrd Plans for Murder.
The headquarters of the Chicago Anarchists was
a mouldy hall over a wretched little liquor dlvo at
No. M West Lake street Night after night the
little bands of would-be wreckers of tbe extatlng
soolal fabrle met In this dingy hole, deliberated,
planned. Issued their Incendiary clroulars and did
other devilish things In fumes of smoke and with
the slimulattng and firing aid of liauor. Here It
was tbst In February. lb8 It was deolded
to flaunt the red flag of the Commune
their aymbol of "equality, fratirnliy or death"
at the bead of a procession of Anarehtats who
should march to the scene of the opening of the
new building of the Chicago Board ot Trade while
the inaugural feitlvltlcs were In progress and thus
lmprtss the asinbled guests with their strength.
Six hnndred rumans of both sexes and every
nationality, except the American, shuffled through
tbo streets behind a crazy brass band to a point
close by the bulldlni. 'ihere they were stopped
by a line of policemen. They attempted to press
through, bat at the omloous click of a hundred
revolvers In tbe hands of tbe disciplined polloeraen
they broke and fled to all directions, the noise of
tho conflict having brought to the windows of the
new huudlng gcntltmeu snd ladles dressed In all
the gorgeousness of the great occasion, who looked
out on tbe scene In terror.
On the following Thanksgiving Bay 1.O0Q of
theso accursed specimens of thinking beasts bad
men and far, far worne women gathered again
under the blood-red flag and marched up and down
the city streets, hooting and cursing as tney went,
to show President Cleveland, by wsy of answer to
bis Proclamation, that there existed, at least, one
class of thankless people In the community.
