CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS.
HOW THEY SPENT THE FIRST NIGHT
AFTER THE FINAL DECISION.
They Write, Keatl and Finally Sleep
Soundly— How Xtm* VanZiul: Received
the News That Her Lover Mint Hang,
if err Moat iUulitig ?u the fferi&ion.
Chicago, Sept. 16.—.August Spies was the
first one of the condemn* i Anarchists to re
ceive the news of tL» final decision of the
supreme court at Ottaw i. that the deeismn
of the lower court was affirmed and that'
they should be executed on November 11.
The turnkey who took the dispatch to ceil
2-1, and showed it through the bars, lingered
a moment to watch the effect it would Lave
on Spies. The arch Anarchist took the mes
sage, glanced iirmly at the turnkey, and
then withdrew to the darker end of the cell.
In two minutes or so, he called gently to the
old man who sits as death watch outside his
barred door, and asked him to hand the
yellow telegraph sheet to Parsons. From
bim it went to ail the others, and at last
reached Noehe, who L under sentence of
imprisonment.
; Newspaper men had been rigorously shut
out from the ooudemued meu, and all ob
servations had to be taken from the outside
j of the cage, about ten yards from the cell
door, it could be dimly seen that each of
the condemned meu made ostentations ef
forts at coolness and bravado. They took
seats at the cell doors and read newspapers
and books, smoked cigars, and once Lmgg,
the bomb maker, whistled.
The force of deputy sheriffs who guarded
all the approaches was increased last night,
and these were supplemented by relays of
uniformed police. All unknown to even the
curious pedestrians who peered around the
precincts of the jail, the streets and alleys
on all sides for several blocks were quietly
patrolled by detectives, who sized up all sus
picious looking stragglers and kept a watch
ful eye ou ail little knots that gathered any
where in the neighborhood of the jaiL The
Anarchists of the city are so well known
that none of them could got through the
outposts without being detected.
\V ithin the jad all was still as death. Par
sons, apparently worn out with exiteinent
of the day, retired early. Spies tugged
nervously at his thin mustache and wearily
jiassed his hand over his brow as he paused
every now at then in his writing, and threw
down his pen. He seemed ill at ease, and
his thoughts were evidently far away from
his narrow cell. Fischer and Schwab wrote
steadily for hours, and Sam. Fielden whiled
away his dreariness with a reperusal of the
crushing news that the morning had
brought him.
Chief Deputy Glonsoa visited the jail, and
after satisfying hirnsdf that everything
was right within, carefully inspected the
guards outside. Tne Anarchists were all
asleep shortly after midnight and slept until
quite late this morning.
Mrs. A. R Parsons, wife of the con
demned Anarchist, says m relation to the
decision of the supreme court that she does
hoc believe the people will permit what she
calls "this judicial murder.” She says:
"These men oouid have been hanged when
the jury found them guilty. At that time
the world would have riermitted it, blit not
now. The people of America will not allow
it. I have faitn in the American spirit of
£kir play and justice, and that will not allow
these men to be hanged.”
‘‘What if they are hanged any way?”
"Well, if they are hanged—” she paused, i
looked out of a window, and tupped her I
foot on tlie carpet, "if they are hanged, I
why, the revolution is so much nearer at
hand. And what does a revolutionist care
for death.
A reporter called at the residence of Nina i
Van Z&ndt las; night, but she declined to 1
discuss the decisioi. Her e/es were red !
with weeping, an l she appeared almost j
heart broken at the uews that h^r lover, Au
gust Spies, was condemned to die on the gal
lows.
"Miss Van Z mdt has Uvei very quietly of j
late,” said one of the neighbors, “i think [
sue has hod very little hope for some time, i
i don’t know what she will do now. She
will count herself a widow, of course, if j
!he execution takes place. If her con
duct has seemed against common sense,
why, it is all accounted for—she love*
him.”
HFRR MOST FURIOUS.
Friend* of tlio Comte lined Men “K«it
Show Their Militury Strengtlt.”
New York, Sept. In. —The news of the
affirmation by the supreme court of Illinois
of the decision of the I-"wer court in the case
of the condemned Chicago Anarchists caused
great excitement among New York Social
ists and Anarchists. Herr Most was furi
ous. His Anarchist paper, the Freiheit, had
just gone to press when the news came. The
forms were ordered from the press. Most
posted a notice saying that he could not lie
interviewed, and that the paper would lie .
published containing an editorial on the
matter. Most roiled up his sleeves and pro
ceeded to write an editorial addressed “To j
the workingmen of all countries.” The edi
torial was a column and a half long. He
characterized the judges who made the de- i
rision as “infamous and bloodthirsty fools,” !
and the jury as corrupt. November 11 was j
the day set for the murder of the “heroes.”
The capitalist* wished to see blood flow to j
show the people that they were the law and
could d > as they pleased. “Workingmen,” j
says he, “will you peaceably allow this to
take place' Allow the punishment of the
representatives v.mo have identified them
selves with your cause—these i leals of your j
class!” He asks that no stone be unturned
to assist the condemned. The sacrifice !
would strengthen trie cause. The con
demned men were the evangelists who hail
preached to the w irkiagmen. The cruel
deed of November li could be orevented if
the Anarchists so wished. Workingmen
must show their military strength. An in
dignation mass-meeting muse be held at
once and money raised to fight the battle of
justice and the salvation of the martyrs.
Most goes on to demand a decision in the
case from the United States supreme court,
and says that agitation meetings should be
held all over the country until the court
dare declare the law constitutional. The
editorial closes with the following appeal:
“The question of their bloodshed is not
•et^ed yet. Let every one do his duty and
it never will bo. Life to the soldiers! hail
the social revolution. ”
Editor E. S. Schevitoh, of the Leader, the
recognized leader of the Socialistic element
in this city, fiercely denounced the affima
tion of the verdict He said that as the
principal in the crime had not been appre
hended, it was iinpossio. i to say what mo
tive actuated the man to throw the bomb.
Aud it could not be asserted that the co n
deinned men hail any connection with the
killing of the policemen. A mass-meeting
will be held in Union Square next Monday
night to protest against the hanging of ths
condemned men.
Clarion, Pa., is all broken up. Carrie
