ANARCHISTS' RANL

The Red Flig Pni3sd in & Luga Msatin Held atCjcper Union flilL Editor Sbevitch Talks Wildly Mint tha Purposes of tha Anarchists. The Rid Tug cf the Lovers of Na Liw, and Wh&t Its ErigM Color Meina. The Real Foreigners of Thij Country De noonrloc tho Capitalists and Wealthy 91 en Alleged Murderers, Naw York, November 28. Cooper Union w as filled to overflowing to-night with peolle who sympathize with tie Chicago An archists who were hanged. The meeting bad been called , J the Trades Federation, and in behalf of the widows and orphans of the Anarchists recently executed in Chicago. It was an Anarchist meeting through arid through. There were red ribbons snd feathers on the women, red neck ties arid hat baods on the men; there was a red and bkek flag back of tbe stage, and portraits of the hanged Anerchists were draped in black and displayed. The police were present in force, but the meeting was not interrupted. Sergius Shevitch was the orator. In substance he said: It is do time to cheer, it is no time to weep. It is a time to think, a time to get ready for action. It is a memorial we are to celebrate to-night. Not in honor of those who do rot want any expression of feeling. It is to the people of tne country. The judicial murder in Chicago would have been impossible even in Russia. The men were not hanged for a crime. They were hanged for what they had thought, written and spoken. They did not hang 8piesand the other Anarchists alone. They Rung iree speecn, iree inougnc. it is possible the men were cranks, were foreigners to whom little attentoon was paid. If they were such, why was such an effort put forth to suppress them? It is a mistake to suppose their Ideas do not amount to anythipg. A quarter of a century ago John Brown, a native of America, was lynched, and four years later half the na tion was marchlDg on with his soul. Do yon want to know the names of the foreigners in this country? They are Jay oouia, me anaerDiits, tue Kusseil sages. The foreigners are not the Anarchists. The element who have nothing in kind with the people are the capitalists. They control our politics with their money and have disgraced our .honor and liberty. Their cry of law t d order is for their own protection, fo the protection of their stolen property. The execution in Chicago will forever be handed down as the worst crime in your history, The people, Powderly and Henry George have piacea tnemsejves in a line with the hang man. The object of the tragedy was to intimidate the advance workers in the labor movement. There was no other cause for the murder. You have heard it said that the Anarch ists do not belong to this country. They lo not want to belong to this country. iney ao not need to come under its nag, They have a nag of their own, their red ag. What is this red flag for which more noble hearts have died than for any other? wnat aoes tnis red nag mean? It means the blood of humanity. It means to put a stop to the shedding of blood. It means to put a step to the condition of those who work tut cannot en joy, and those who do 'Dot work hut do enjoy. There is blood oo that llig. The blood of thousands and millions slaughtered fcr that flag.lt is drenched in the blood of the victims of the militia in Illinois and other States. It tLatflae is dangerous, gentlemen of the press, that danger haa been created by the gentlemen who employ jour own bosses. That bosh about law and order is only dust that is thrown in the eyes of the people. I hope it is the habit to send spies to take down the words of speakers on these occasions, and what they do not utter. Let us stand together. Let us be more fiery in our language than ever before. Let the blood of the Anarchists cry out throughout the world. It is our fieg. We will raise it, we will carry it through your .streets. The time is not far distant when a national monument will be raised to the men murdered in Chicago. Resolutions were passed in which those present pledged themselves to support the widows and orphans of the hanged Chicago .Anarchists. Rabid Chlcagoans. Chicago, November 28. The Anarchists of this city have prepared a rabid circular for distribution among the workingmen here. It is headed with the single word "Fight." The circular denounces the Anarchists' trial and execution, and declares nothing but force will win. It urges "preparation" for the "revolution." "Whoever joins us." says the t circular, "must take all consequences upon 'himself and must be ready to sacrifice everything for the cause, even should it be his life." . , An Anarchist Jagged. Chicago, November 23. Paul Wolf is In the tame kind of a fix as Herr Most, and ail for preaching the same doctrine and making threats.

The congress of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies will meet on Friday at Versailles to elect a successor to President Grevy. President Grevy's message of resignation will be short. He will disclaim all responsibility for the consequences of his retirement. Elections were held yesterday in Anxerre, Arras and Lille to fill vacancies in the Chamber of Deputies. In Auxerre the Radical candidate, M. Hervier, was successful, polling 30 074 votes, against 19,773 for M. Regnier, Opportunist. In Arras, M.Camecasee, Re publican, was elected, his vote beirg G,000, against 71.000 for M. Labitte, Conserva tive.

De LeFalle and M. f&uvllle. Conservatives, 123.0CO. Paris. November 28 In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Rouvier moved for an adjournment of the Hous" nntil lhursday. at the came time Btating that the Government would then make au import ant ccruniumcalion. The Bourse was dull to-day. Three per cent rentes fell 10 centimes; Credit Foncier r.f 25c; Suez canal shares 31 75s and Panama canal shares 5f 25c. M. Clemenceau, in an interview with M. Floquet, pointed out the inadvisability of dividing the Radical vote between M. FloouetecdM.JJe rreyemet. tr. loo net replied that he neither desired to offer hircEelf as a candidate for the presidency r or refuse to stand for that otiice. He left himself, he said, in the hands of his meEds, who were entirely responsible. I rominent OrJeanists, who have lust re turned frcm England, indlgnantly.deny that the Orleanist party is in any way respcciitle for the forgeries revealed by the Cologne Gazette. Paris, November 28 Thirteen Deputies and Senators waited on 1'resident Grevy to-day and expressed their readiness to join a new cabinet. They undertook to obtain a dissolution of Parliament by the Senate, and urged M. Grevy to stay at his post and save Frsnce from the dangers which threatened her. The President's response is not known. Disagreeing Roads. Chicago, November 28. The Chicsgo and Grand Trunk opened the week to-day with another reduction in the dressed meat rates, bnneing them down to 34 Uc per 100 pounds, Chicago to Boston and New England points. The com pet id g roads met, but the Pennsylvania line refused to reduce Its rates below 40 cents, where they stopped Friday last. The B. t O. also virtually dropped out by withholding its vote. Tre vanderbut lines and the Chicago and Atlantic met the reduction of the Chicago and Grand Trunk with the exception of to Pittsburg. it being agreed that rates to that point should be held up to 23;, which is on the basis oi423i to New York. There is an impression among the majority of railway officials here that the fiercest part of the fight is over and that rates will not go much lower, . An attempt was made to-day to induce the Chicsgo and Grand Trunk to agree not to put in lower rates on export business via Montreal to Boston, providing the central traffic roads would allow it to make a diflerence in its favor of 3 cents on provisions and 2 cents on flour via Port land, Me. The Chicago and Grand Trunk would not assent to this, but stated that it would give association lines ten days' notice of any ehange in Boston rates. This was not satisfactory and the associa tion reads referred the matter to the Rast ern trunk lines for settlement. Chesley Chambers. jKFKEr.ONviLi.E, November 23 Ipecia1 1 Colonel G. W Friedley, solicitor for the L. N. A. and C. railway, savs that i. is the intention of the railway company and the American Express Company to push the prosecution of Chesley Chambers with the utmost vigor. He says that both companies are convinced that Chambers is the man who shot Peter Weber and George K. Davis and robbed the Express safe on the Monon tram near Clear Creek Station, and that the Express Company will be represented in tne case by able counsel. Colonel Friedley says that new evidence has been discovered that will establish the fact that Chambers got on the train at Mitchell the night of the shooting and robbery and went north from that town. He states further that it is probable a special term of the Monroe Circuit Court will be held at Bloomington to try the case against Chambers. Suicide with Morphine. Jefferoxyille, November, 23. Special. Marion Powers, who committed suicide by taking morphine, at his home in Lexington, Saturday afternoon, was well known in this city. It waa he who caused the great stir in Scott county a few months since, by instigating the overhauling of the books of the county officials. At the time it was said that he was only acting for others, who desired to benefit by his work. Powers was an ar dent Republican, and it has been circulated that persons who wished to run for office on the Republican ticket had him to get up the investigation to disrupt the ranks of the Democratic party, which is in power in the county. Beyond stirring up a very bitter feeling among the people, but little was accomplished by his efforts. riot a Candidate for President. Chicago, November 23. Ex-Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas, is In the city, for the purpose of attending a meeting of the National Committee of the Prohibition party to be held next week. The meeting is called to til' the vacancy caused by the death of the chairman, Hon. J. B. Finch, and to fix the time and place for holding the next national convention, "Shall you again be a candidate for President?" he was asked. "No, sir; emphatically no; under no circumstances will I allow my name to go before the convention, and It is too early yet to tell yon from where we may choose our standard bearer." New York Bank in Trouble. Niw Yorx, November 28. The Ninth Avenue Bank is under examination by the State Bank Examiner. The statement of the bank's condiilon September 17 last ahowed resources of $353 227 and liabilities to depositors, bank and trust companies of $215,042.

Jones, one of the directors, who was President of the North Bell villa Quarry Company, which went Into the hands of a receiver last August. There are number of judgments against him. The bank also has sotesi or indorsements of M. E, IcgersolLflate treasurer of thePoltier & 8tymus Manufacturing Com pan 7, Director

Arnold said to-day that the collateral

securities on which the loans on Jones & Ingersoll were made are sufficient to pay the claims. Other tdlrectors say that depositors will be pid in full, but the directors and stockholders may have to make up a portion of the capital. Tobacco in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla., November 28. To bacco before the war was one of the principal products of West Florida. Since the war it has been abandoned for long-staple cotton. It has been discovered recently that Florida leaf, when properly grown and cured, equals in quality that of Cuba and Sumatra. Much of this years crop sold at from twenty to fifty cents per pound, averaging thirty cents. A New York syndicate has bought 10,000 acres of land In Gadsden and Columbia counties and will plant over 1,000 acres in tobacco duiiDg the coming year. "War "With the Telegraph Companies. New York, November 28. No settlement of the existing difficulty between the Stock Exchange management and the telegraph companies occupying quarters on the Excharge floor was eftected at a joint meet ing to-day of the Stock Exchange committee of Arrangements and the representatives of the telegrsph companiea. There latter rtprtsentatives were C. A. Tinker, of the Western Union; A. B. Chandler, of tfce Postal; C. A. Brown, of the Mutual lnion, ard George G. Brown, of the Commercial Cable Company. The representatives of the Exchange offered to compromise by a partial reduction in charges, but the telegraph representatives firmly declined to accept lees than their original demand for more than 50 percent, reduction. The latter finally announced that they wculd vacate their quarters in the Ex change at the end of the montb, removing all their instruments at the close of next Wednesday's business. If this is done it will greatly inconvenience the brokers, but the telegraph people will save the $8,1)00 per year now paid by.them in rent. The Crown;;Priuce reeling; Well. Eeklin, November 28. The Traichs An zeiger announces that the Empres sis expected here to-morrow. It says the Empress has been deeply moved by the many proofs of loyalty and condolence that have been sent to her while residing atCoblentz. She returns thanks for the anxious expressions of hope for the recovery of the Crown Prince. The weather at San Remo is fine. The Crown Prince took along drive to-day with the sanction of Dr. Bergman and his other physicians. A new treatment of the Prince's case is being tried. A part of the regimen is the absolute exclusion of sugar. San Kemo, November 23. The condition of the Crown Prince is now considered hopeful. The submaxillary glands swelling which formed before the recent attack of adema of the glottis is now decreasing. Meeting of the Naval Steel Board. Washington, November 28. The Steel Board met at the Navy Department to-day and considered certain prepositions coming from the contractors for supplying steel for the new cruisers now building and from department officers looking to a modification of the tests now prescribed for the steel. After some discuision the require ments were amended in several particulars. The modifications, it is said, will not ad mit steel of lower quality than that used at present, but will result in a reduction in the number of tests,wbich is one of the ob jects sought by the steel makers. A milder and softer grade of metal than was orig inally required will also be Accepted for the heavy crank-shafts upon the suggestion of the manufacturers that it will prove more serviceable than the harder metal. Italy acd the Pope. Rome, November 28. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, Signors Bought and Sacchi interpellated the government regard ing petitions demanding the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope. Minister Zanardelli replied that the crown lawyers were of the opinion that such petitions did not incriminate the signers. It was otherwue, perhaps, with regard to letters of Bishops, woo clearly demanded that tbe temporal power of the Pope be restored. lie considered it unwise, however, to take the action against them which they de sired. No greater service could be render ed them than to bring them into prom inence tnrougn a puoiic trial, liy ignoring them the government showed the great liberty enjoyed by its enemies, and caused tbeir movement to be viewed with indif ference. Commercial lnion Still A lire. Halifax, N. 6., November 23. It was disclosed here to-day that sters are being taken to keep the commercial union move ment from being killed by the Dominion and British members of the fishery commission at Washington. A delegation of trusted Liberal leaders of Canada are to be sent to the American capital to place those favoring commercial union fairly before the commission, so that tbe sentiments of the people of Canada will be made known. All sections of the Dominion are to be represented in the delegation. The promoters of the movement are convinced that Secretory Bayard will suggest trade onion as a way to settle the fishery difficulties, and that Sir Charles Tupper will cot try to throw away the opportunity. Canada Wants a Commission. Bangor, Me., November 28. Mr. Burpee, ot the tub-committee of the Government Committee to inquire intothe advisability of establishing a railroad commission for the Dominion of Canada, is in town. He has been visiting various parts of the United States looking into tbe workings of the Inter-State law, and said that the subcommittee regarded the Massachusetts laws regulating railroads through a board of commissioners with more favor than those of any other State, and even if they should report in favor of a similar law to the United States Inter-State law, that they will take a stand against tbe adoption of any part c! the fourth section relating to long and short hauls. The Cold Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., November 28 The minimnm temperature in St. Paul last night was 1G below rero. At 7 o'clock the thermometer registered 1G below, and within an hour afterward had dropped to 22. Sergeant Lyons says this was the coldest November morning ever recorded at the St. Paul signal office, excepting one morning in November I8S5, when the thermometer went down to 24 below.

A DESECRATED DAY

Chicago Ptitors Thick That Everything ShcaM Stop on the B&ltith. Hon-Obterv&zeo of Snndty Alleged t. Is a Cinsa sf Asirohiit Notions. Thy Do Not Want thsMiili or Riilroiis ta Move on the Day of Rest. Public Press Besought Kot to Iasue Papers on Sunday Endangertuf the Stability of Our Institutions, Chicago, November 23. At a meeting of the pastors of the various Protestant deneminations held to day, the subject of Sabbath desecration was discussed. Rev. C. E. Mandeville read lire small papers on the subject and moved that they be presented to the Washington Conference with the understanding that theCoaferenos appoint a committee to lay the subject before Congress. The first paper caid that "Cut for Sabbath desecration there would be no such class as Anarchists in this country." It calls for a combine among the church people to down the demon of Sabbath desecration. The proposed plan etrikeB at every form of laoor now indulged in on the Sabbath day. The ministers propose to petiti on CongreEB to enact laws first to dispense with carrying mail and holding postomces open on Sunday. The paper is addressed to the House of Representatives in Congress assembled, and says: "The telegraph is now used to transmit all important news and, therefore, there is so absolute neces sity for running mans on the sabbath. Consequently the running of mails on that day is in violation of State laws." The next paper is addressed to the di rectors of the railrcads in the United State, andesys: "The increased rate of speed of travel am transportation as com pared with that used m the days ot our fathers has eo multiplied the facilities of disractbing business that there is no necessity of running trains more than six days in a week." The last paper Is addmsed to the pro prietors of the public press of the united States, and says the Sabbath is thejdividing line between Christianity and heathenism ; that it is tbe bulwark that shields our Christian civilization against anarchy, and that every influence that tends to weaken tbe power of the Sabbath over the public conscience endangers the stability of our Republican institutions; that the business of publishing and selling newspapers on the Sabbath is in open violation of our State laws. "e therefore respectfully request you to discontinue the publication 01. newspapers on Sunday." CHICAGO'S SCANDAL. The Marital Kelatlons of Banker Bawson Again Brought Before the Public. Chicago, November' 28. The marital troubles of Banker Stephen W. Rawson and his wife are once more brought to publlc;attention by the publication of a letter to Mrs. Rawson from her second husband, Charles G. L.ee. The lettsr reads November 18, 1887. Mrs. M. I Rawson: Dear Madame 1 have just learned of your sad troubles, and write to interfere for the protection of your and my child. A clipping from the New York World mailed to me, states that your husband, Mr, Rawson, alleges that your marriage to me was illegal, and therefore our off-spring is illegitimate. That certainly is a very cowardly thrust, and I cannot conceive why Mr. Raweon should resort to such a method to blight the name of a pure and innocent child like Us tie Dot. You certainly have the certificate of the Judge at New Orleans, where your divorce from Stay maker, was obtained. The records of August, 1875, in the clerk's office at Louisville, will show that our marriage license was regular. Had 1 not been addicted to habits too extremely convivial, I believe it would never have been necessary for me to offer protection to my child and its mother in guarding their honor. The purity of your wifely relation to me during our wedded career, not only entitle you to my protection, but also to the sympathy of the public when your character is assailed. My heart goes out to Willie, whom I loved and treated (I believe he will admit it) as ray own child. Tell him for me to bear ao manful ly. and not to fear that a Chicago jury will condemn him for protecting the honor and good name of his mother and little sister. Give my love to my dear little girl, And tell her that her father lives to protect and shield her with bis life. Yours truly, Chasxes G. Leb. Mrs. Rawson's attorney says Lee is a desperate man, and intimates that he may come to Chicago and make it warm for the banker, who has not yet recovered from the wound Inflicted by Kaiph William Lee, his step son.

JEFFERSON DAVIS, Singular Story of Ilia Arrest on Suspicion

of Treasure-Stealing, The Globe-Democrat, Anniston, Ala., November 25. Jefferson Davis has had a good many narrow escapes, but one of them has never been told in print, and the chief actor in the affair has never cared to talk about it. Somewhere along in the '50s the Nobles, anEngligh family residing in Pennsylvania, decided to move southward. They selected Rome, Ga., as their objective point, and started on their journey, after making the necessary disposition of their goods and chattels. The Nobles had some family jewels and about $4,000 In cash. How to carry these valuables safely bothered them not a little, but they packed the money and jewels in an old-fashioned Eagiisb. hand-chest and took them along. The travelers landed at Charleston, and took the next train for their destination. Some extra fare was demanded, and in paying it they had to open their chest and expose their treasure. Sharp eyes were on the watch, and the glitter of the contents of the chest attracted attention. As a matter of precaution, the chest was confided to Miss Mary Noble, who sat in a secluded section of the car with her back to the door. At Branch ville, S. C , two gentlemen boarded the train. One was a young, wiry-looking man, and the other tall and slender, past the meridian of life, and of distinguished appearance. When Augusta was reached the two strangers went en to Atlanta and the Nobles discovered that their precious chest was missing. The conductor was clamorously appealed to, and he instantly gave it as his opinion t&e "the one-eyed man had stolen it.'"He is a bad-looking fellow," said the conductor. The chest had evidently been snatched out of tbe rear window of the car, as the suspected man took his departure at a moment when Miss Noble's attention was fiixed in some other direction. After a consultation it was decided that Mrs. Noble and Miss Mary should proceed to Atlanta and cause the arrest of the supposed thief, while Mr. Noble and the others remained in Augusta awaiting, not very confdently, the result. Mrs. Noble succeeded in tracing the two men to tbeir stopping place in Atlanta and identified them as soon as she saw them. At her request they were arrested and carried to police headquasters, where tee astonishing discovery was made that "the one-eyed man" was President Tierce's Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, and his companion was his private secretary. Mr. Davis was in a good humor and, of course, the two gentlemen were at once released with many apologies. Before leaving Mr. Davis told Mrs. Noble and her daughter that he regretted their loss, and tendered them a $20 gold piece V

is an evidence of his sympathy. Mrs. Noble declined to accept the gift, but Miss Mary spoke up ard said: " is, take it. That is some of our money that tbe old rascal took!" Mr. Davis smiled and pressed the money upon Mrs. Noble, who finally took it, and carrid it to her husband in Augusta. Suspicion was then directed to the conductor, but his BUddea death in the course of a few days stopped further investigation. After the election 0! Mr. Dayis to the residenby of the Southern Confederacy r. Noble, then a prosperous contractor, visited him at Montgomery, and talked with him about manufacturing cannon. Mr. Davis asked him several questions, and then referred to the loss of the chest. He then introduced Mr. Noble to Mrs. Davis and told the story of the arrest.

Mrs. Davis laughed heartily over the inci dent, and, with her husband, took quite an interest in the Nobles from that time. Noble went to work and made hundreds of cannon for the Confederacy. Later he founded and built up the flourishing city of Anniston, in Alabama. In the midst of his prosperity he is still devoted to the "one-eyed man," who was once mpposed tolbe the author of bis great misfortune. LAND CASE DECIDED. Several Claims for Land in New Mexico Settled by the Commissioner. Washington, November ?S. Actin j Land Commissioner Stockslager has transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior for submission to Congress reports from the Surveyor General of New Mexico upon private land claims in that Territory. upon tne ciaim nown as ine r.i iuio No. 151," for about 52,000 acres, tbe Acting Commissioner recommends that the claim be confirmed as to the lands actually reduced to possession and cultivationd, and that, as the claimants have .failed to show either legal title or equitable claim, the confirmation should run to the inhabitants of the town according to their Eeveral possessions, to be ascertained by actual survey, but not to exceed in quantity four square leagues in all. As to the claim known as "Tbe Town of Atrisco No. 145." fcr about 71,000 acres, the acting Commissioner says that no legal title has been shown, but an equitable claim to 20,000 acres is conceded, and for this amount the claim is recommended for confirmation. As to the Canon de Carnue claim No. 150 for about 100,000 acres, the acting Commissioner recommends that it be confirmed as to the lands actually in cultivation and in possession of the original grantees according to tbeir individual poitions, to belascertained by survey.

The experiments with the incandescent electric lights which have been at the Torpedo Station at Newport have developed a novel use for the little lamps and one that is said to promise to be of great value in naval warfare. With lamps of about 100-candle power fastened on the ends of poles submerged in the sea to a depth of twenty feet, tbe water is so illuminated that objects In it can be distinguished within a radius of 150 feet. There is little Or no glare from the submerged light to betray the presence of the boat using the sparks. It is believed that by this means a boat might countermine an enemy's field of submarine mines by cutting tbeir cables or sweeping them to one side. It Is probable that torpedo launches will 4 be equipped with these lights in future. WET AND DRY. Two Views of the Recent Liquor Election tn Atlanta. New York, November 23. The "wet and dry" editors of the Atlanta Constitution give tbeir opinions to the world on the subject of "why Atlanta went wet." Mr. Evan Howell, the "wet" editor, says: "The Prohibition law had been tried for two years and it had proved a failure. The Prohibitionists claim that it did not have a fair trial. Tne constant agitation of Prohibition for years has been the only bad result I have noted, so far as iteffects the city. There were certainly large quantities of liquor brought into the city every day from neighboring cities, and the large majority given for anti-Prohibition was not only a protest against the law, but against the strife and bitterness engineering the first campaign. I am certain that the conservative men on both sides will come together and throw around the retail sale of liquor all necessary restraints, and that it will be better for the city. The part the women took in the election at the polls has been greatly exaggerated. Henry W. Grady, the dry editor, says: "The defeat of prohibition was not unexpected. From the first to last the negroes were almost solidly against it. Much of this was due to the influence of Yellowstone Kit, a rich and shrewd medicine vender, worshiped by the negroes, who spoke night after night at the antimeetings, carried on the shoulders of negro men. The part taken in the campaign by the ladies was not significant. ProhibitI on was not beaten on its merits. The law was too extreme, It being impossible to get even medicinal or sacramental wine without violating iL Its administration has been often unwise. Had it not been for these things the undeniable good it worked would have overcome even the great negro majority against it. Atlanta will not suffer seriously. The bar-room as it existed, insolent, political, corrupting and ruling, is a thing of the past. "A conference will be held to devise a plan upon which the people can unite. Not the slightest ill-feeling survives the contest, which was without precedent in vigor and aggression. A City Council is to be elected on December 6. In fighting for that the leaders of the two factions will probably unite on a ticket of the best men in the city, and will seek to elect it by a compact of the conservative element of both sides. The Constitution, which by reason of division of opinion among the proprietors, took no editorial position in the contest will urge a union of the best elements of both fractions to control the situation." Got a Big File by Fraud. London, November 25.

He said Most did not use tbe violent language charged-against him. He had never seen Most before, and was not an Anarchist, but might yet become one. Herman Strelitz, a reporter formerly on the Leader and now on the Volks Zeitung, testified that he heard Most's speech and that he began it with "Fellow citizens," not "Brother Anarchists," as was alleged.

He also accused Powderly and George of beir murder for turning the Knights of Labor from the Anarchists.
