Ho refuse I to divulge this, but said he hod evidence to prove that August Spies was the life and soul of tho party here. The evldeneo against this person la strong. It will bo proved and tho testimony before tbo jury was to tbo offe-t that th "revenge" circular was in August Kpies' handwriting. It will also bo proved that a c iphtr slt'nal for meeting for act on, tho meaning of which was otplained at the Lake street basement meeting, unit which was printed In the editorial pogo of tho ArbcUtr Zeiixmg tho -1th of May is also In Spies' handwriting.

of Lingg, a crucible having been found at his house. The evidence against Parsons and
Scbnable, not yet indicted, but certain to bo, ia also quite full. When the polico were attacked in tho Haymarket the fact was to be made known as quickly as possible to squads of anarchist? at tho various rendiv.voua, and by tboir assault
ing the rjolico stations in the vicinity it was
hoped to prevent tho entire reserve force of
officers from concentrating. Having arranged these matters satisfactorily, the conspirators
wero informed that the Arbetter Xetttinn would
publish a certain paragraph, the woh ot which, when uttered by Spies or somo othor leader, would be a signal for tbo assault on the officers in Che Hayuiar

Bignai was given, ana tne Dumo was tnrown with the effect already known. AH this information has been gleaned, and tho names of several persons not yet arrostod are now in possession of the officers, who are untiring in their efforts to diacovor tbo bombthrower. The confessions of Lochtner and
Lehman are convincing, and although Capt Bchaack is unwilling to make any further disclosures at present, his subordinates say there will be more startling revelations made when the cases come to trial.
For a long time past it has been a rule of the
anarchist groups that each member should contribute weekly thirty cents toward tho pur
chase of rtnes and revolvers. These, it appears.
they bought in lots and at wholesale rates, and
wnenever tne weeaiy assessments or coutrioutions of a member amounted to a little more than the cost of a rifle or a revolver, ho became the owner of one of tbe repeaters. A portion of the regular dues of members, and tho proceeds of parties and picnics, were devoted to tbo purchase of additional arms, the manufacture of
explosives, aud the strengthening and advancement of the organization.

It is believed that the Orand Jury will indict about twenty more persons. One of the grand jurors asked Capt. Schaack how be accounted for the comparative failure of tho anarchist plot. He said tho fellows were nearly all arrant cowards. Some of tho nersons
detailed to give the signals f ailod to act Others detailed for work did not coll for their bombs at
the depot He said that the onlv thing that
keeps most i-f them now from turning informers is the fear that thev mav lie murdered and the
hesitancy of tho police authorities to acoept
