THEY MUSI HANG

Tte Illinois Sspreinj Ciort ASrai V25 Verdict cf Jajgo Girj'i Court. Judge Maimer Oives the Opinion Seene In tbe Co art Room Justices of the S3 preme Co art Unanimous. Ottawa, I1L, September 14. L 9:30 Justice Magrudar began the announcement of the decision in the Anarcaiitca. Just before the opening of court, e?ery one seemed to have a feeling that somethlasj wu going to happen. Before the hoar for the convening of court, lawyers aid reporters seemed to have that feeling, and converted with each other in subiaei tones. Ever Barker, the janitor, who has waited upon every justice of the Supreme Court that sat upon the bench, in Ottawa, tip-toed around in opening and dusting the court room, as if he was afraid of treating the deathly stillness that pervaded the entire building. Deputy Smith faltered and his voice trembled as he pronounced the "Hear Ye." As the justices filed into the courtroom, headed by Chief Justice Sheldon, they appeared more dignified than ever. The Chief Justice waved hia associates to their seats even nioro stately than his wont, hjsnod to the Sheriff was more stiff, and his "open court' less audible than on Pievens day, cf the term. Jus'ice Magrader appeared flushed and nervous as he entered the court room, the cause of which was evidenced a few moments later when Chief Jostice Sheldon tnrned to him and in & voice which would have been inaudible save for the deathly stillness which Eervaded the room, said "Justice Madrider ave you any announcement to make?'' Tb flashed appearance of the Justice changed to that of pallor and his voice was husky as he responded: "In August Ppies EEd others against the people of the State of Illinois, No. 59, advisement docket." The Chief Justice nervously turned the leaves of the court docket to cese indicated when the Justice read the decision of the Court in the "Anarchist case." Jnge Magruder read: "la this ewe, the judgment of the court belo w ii affi rmsd as to all and es to eech and every o :e of the defendant?. An opinion has been prepared setting forth the reasons of tie affirmation of the jutfgraen:. Tee opinion is now handf d to the clerk to ba filei' Judge helc"on announced that he concurred in the opinion. As Judge Mzruder commenced reading he trained hia composure. Hi? voice was clear and distinct until the order tiling the death per alty and date of execution was reached, when his reading beeime labored, hia voice husky and his manner ehowed it was with the greatest emotion that he performed the duty he had ben deleettid by his associates to perform. Having voiced the decision of the court ia the mutt celebrated case it has ever been called upon to decide, the justice who made the announcement at once left the bench and retired to his rjon. Judge Mulky then caid: "It is not my intention to ocer a separate opinion, asl should Lave done. I desire to avail myseli of this occasion to say that while I concur In the conclusions reached, end also in the general views as entered in the opinion filed, I do cot with to be understood as holding that the record is free fro 21 error, for I da not think it is. I am, neverthe less, of the opinion that none of the errors complained of are of euch serious character as to require a reversal of the judgment. In view of the number of defendants on trial, the great length of titu? consumed in the trial, the vast amouut of testimony passed upon by ths court, and the almost numberless ruling the court waa required to make, the wonderment to me is that the errors were not more numerous and of a more serious character than they are. In short, after having fully examined the record and giving the question. arisiEg on it my very best thought, with an earnest and conscientious desire to faithfully discharge my whole daty, I am fully satisfied that the opinion reached vindicates the law and does complete justice between the people of the State and the defendants, fully warranted by tha law and the evidence." Judge Sheldon In this case the court orders that tbe sentence of the Superior court of Cook Connty, of the defendants in the indictment August Spies, bamuel Fielden, II. farsons, üichael Schwab, Adolph F:scber, Hagel and Lonls Ling be cariied into eCect by the Sheriff" of Cook Conntj, on the llih day of November seit, on Friday, between the hours of 10 o'clock forenoon and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, on that day. The judgment of the court Kescn&nimons. The opinion in the Anarchist case was - written by Judge iiagraaer, of the Chicago District, and is an able exposition of law and previous interpretation thereof by eminent jorists in thi country, as w11j of the courts bearing upon the alleged.and perhaps real errors in this record. In his work he was ably helped by eaihofJthe other six distinguished judges, who made him their spokesman, and through him expressed their unanimous decision. The opinion covers 225 paces of closely written manuscript, and contains about 50,000 worcs. The Anarchists had no counsel here to represent them before the court, as the decision was announced, and no steps were taken in their behalf. They have fi'teen oavs in which to hie a motion for a ra hearing, and thirty days from the close of the term to the a petition in support thereof. This will not act as a stay of sentence. and they will have to show very strong grounds before the court wo aid constat to the issue of a stay of execution until a re hearing could be bad next term. Ecrxrs xjf Chicago, Bow the Vung Awaited Oecesion wa Re. ceivetl by the rtopU. Chicago, September 14 The first ofa;ial information that reached this city was a telegram from the Court Clerk at Ottawa, to tne btate s Attorneys omce nere. mylnte "Anarchist cases affirmed -.execution N ivem ber 11." Mr. Furchill. of the State's At tornev'a office ran at OLce to the iil wi.b the despatch. Following on his haeli was a messengei carrying a telegram for August Spies thai had Deeii sent from Ottawa by the agent of the A care Met a. The turnkey who tocr the despatch to cell 25, and ehovid it thronen the bars, lingered a moment to watch the effect it would have on Spies. The Anarchist took: the mesi&ge, glanced firmly at the turnkey aad thn withdrew to the darker end of thece'l. In two minutes or so, he called gently to the old man, who sits as death watch outtide his barred door and asked him to hand tbe jellow telegraph sheet to Faraoa. From him it went to all the others, and at last reached Neebe, who is only under sentence cf imprisonment. Newspaper men had been rigorously shut out from the condemned men, and ail observations had to be taken from tbe outside of tha cage, about ten yards from the cell door. It could be dimly eesn that each of the condemned made ostentatious eüjrts at coolness and bravado. They took seats at their cell doors and read newspapers and tcokp, nocked cigars and once Ltng, the boom maker, whistled. Their wives and friends were with them for an hour during the morning, but about thirty minutes before tbe cews came they were all excluded s cd the prisoners locked cp, each alone by himself. Sheriff iiatson had remained away from the jaiL By his orders, daring the nieht tbe guards had all been doubled. Including the court balliCa, there were twenty of the sheriff's men on duty, ten turnkeys and guards that are on regular duty at the jail, and six patrolmen who patrolled the alleys on the outside, - Cap;,U;ci brought witahiza four detec

From the appearance of the streets in tbe exterior of the jail, any one could tell that some great eveot was going on. As the news spread, citizens coatlees and come bareheaded, left their places of business acd rushed toward the iil to verify tbe report. Among the crowd, growing fi I.I.V.. . . i wt -I J I fl of rough lookitg foreigoers could ba see carting Mtber and tkitber, jabbering excitedly, with ugly grimaces, and clinch irg their fia's as tb'ey talked to one an other. The police would permit no loiter ing and therefore the crowd kept marching up and down, discueslng the all aojjrbing topic A reporter was Captain mac s hrst informant of the decision. Daring toe moments occnp'ed in giving the Anarchists' senior counsel the dread information, his face was a study. His under jaw droppsd down, tbe rigtit hand went up to his forebead with a lightning-like jerk, and the Captain gasped: "Is it possible, siven man to hang." Great as was his apparent surpiise, his manifestation of disappointment was ere ater. The only remaining course for us to purene," paid he, "is by taking the case to the United States 8a preme Court I shall immediately cro before the Supreme Court at Ottawa and ask for reas onable time to secure a certified transcript of the record for presentation to the SaI rune Court at "rVaehirgton. Sash proceedings are rare but I have no doubt of tbe CourVa decision on that point," and Captain Black arcse and paced the fljor with loDg strides, refusing to speak further. Judge Gary, who presided at the trial of the Auarcbitts, was r-urprited out of his usual calm reservo when the news of the decieicn reached him on the bench, where he we8 heanrg another case. When assured that the report was true, he said: "Well, eil I have got to eay istbat the verdict is a just one." The venerable justice ttonghifully passed h!a hand across his forehead for a moment and then resumed his occupation. Joseph R. Buchanan, the Socialist editor who has charge of tbo Anarchist defense fund, ea!d that should the State Supreme Court refuse to grant an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, or not piss on the matter in time to have their decision act es a sopersedeas before the date sat fcr the execution of tl e eentenc, anolisation will be made to a Justice of tbe Haltet Slates SapremeCourt for a supers hI-jas.

Tbe sacrifice would strergthea the cause. The condemned men were the evangelists who had preached to the workingmen. The cruel deed of November 11 could be prevented if the Anarchists so wished. Workingmen must show their military strength. An indignation mass meeting must be held at once and money raised to to Cght the battle of jnstice and the salvation of the martyrs. Most goej on to demand a decision in the case from the United States Supreme Court and says that agitation meetings should be held all ever the country until tne Court dare declare the law unconstitutional. The editorial closes with the following appeal: "The question of th6ir bloodshed is cot settled yet. Let every man do his duty and it will never be. Life to the soldiers? Hail Social revolution?" Editor 8. E. Scbeyilz of the Ia3er, tha recognized leaier of the Socialistic elemcit in this city, fiercely denounced tbe affirmation of the verdict. He said that as the Ei in ci pal in the crime had not been approended, it was impossible to say what motives actuated tbe man who threw the bomb. And it could not be assertel tbat the condemed men had any connection with the killing of the policemen. A mass rceetirjg will be held in Union Square next Monday night to protest against the hanging of the condemned men. Informal meetings of the Anarchists were held in various parts of this city toeight, to deucuLce the decltion of the Illinois Supreme Court ia the case of the condemned Anarchists. A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Spies came out with a cigar in hia mouth, nodded to his fellows, and then going to the sink washed two or three pieces of tinware with hit water. Lingg climbed ioto the barber chair and was ebaved. Tne others retired bebte d a projecting corner of the cell house and talked among themselves until their friends began to com io. Tne representative German psper of thl city, tbe Staats Zeitone, which bis Hitherto been in favor of the execution f AnarchiBtr, comes out this morning in an editorial tomewbat eupportiog a commutation of eentence. The mnin paragraph reads as foilcws: "It would be more clever if tbe defecee, instead of seeking through legal quibbles to disturb end excite public opinion, tock advantage of the present prevrilirg milder sentiment of the public in order to present a petition to the Governor, not for a free pardon, but for a commutation of tbe death sentence to penal eervitude. It mlgnt be possible that such an attempt would meet with succces. But it would have to be understood that in the meantime the comrades of tbe condemned men should be very well behaved and very tranquil. Should they, however, continue acting as they he done at tbelr meetings during the la&t few months tbey would surely bring their ecru redes to tbe gallows." BoToif, September 15.

VTashikotoit, September 1G. The United Situs Attorney for Colorado has forwarded to the Coromibf ior.er of the General Laud Office a cony of an Important decision ren dered by Hon. Moses Hallett, Unitei States Lustnct Jutfge tor tbe District oi Colorado, iu two cases of the United Stages vs. the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company, deciding as to the rights ot said company to cut tin.ber from public lands under their granting act of June, lb. 2, and the general right of wsy act of March 3, 1875. Conceding the right cf the road under their granting act to procure timber for construction and repairs from public land adjacent to that portion of the road completed prior to Juaes, isi'J, and under the general right of way act for conetruction only from lands adjacent to that portion of the road constructed sabEeqnent to Jnne 8. 1SS2. the judars renders the first judicial deci&lon that the land office has been able to obtain as to the meaning cf the words "from the public lands acjaccnt to the line of sa:d road," as contained in the act mentioned. The decision of the judge is that the right to take timber from public lands under said acls extend laterally some dis tance from tbe right of way, and to smb. lands as may be reached by ordinary trans portation by wapons and not otherwise. The timber most be nsrd for the construc tion of tbe rctd at or near the place whera delivered, end if carried by the road to points distant from tbe place of taking, the the company are liable in tre?pa?s lot the value He f orther held that the Government was bound to prove that the timber was taken from public lands, and bavioz eatabliehed that fact, the burden of proof as to where and for what purposes the timbsr was used is cpon tbe railroad company.

Hew Mr. MtDtfisld's Niw Dfimitizition Ap peared ta & Ssnticel Critic. Other Mew Flays ia Maw York An KpiioAe of tbe Becent Medical Con greis O. S. lies. (Special New Yorx Letter.) Niw York. September 16, 1897. I the version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' which Mr. Richard Mansfield produced at the Madison Square Theater on Monday night, he has something more worthy of his great talents than anything he has yet done, except the Baron, in a "A Parisian Romance' Mr. Mansfield occasionally plays the latter piece for brief seasons, but he has been constrained to practically abandon tbat great piece of work for Buch trifles as "Prince Karl" and "'Monsieur." Unfortunately the Baron did notpiy, and "Prince Karl'' and Monsieur" were pot boilers by design and did pay. The ques tion of pecuniary success must eater largely into any theatrical production, and it is a question yet whether the fine work which Mr. Mansfield does in his new piece will pay him any better than did that in which he first leaped into fame as a great delineator of eccentric character. The story of "Dr. Jekyll" did not lend itself naturally to dramatization; on the contrary it had but one dramatic element in it, and that seemed insurmountable. To be eüactive the changes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde and vice vere must be made in sight of the audience, and as the characters are described in the sory, this was a physical impossibility. Mr. Mansfield seems to have invented a means of overcoming this obstacle, but it ia at some sacrifice of Dr. Jekyll as we know him in the original, a genial, jovial man ot 50. The necessity or making the change in sight of the audience compelled Mr. Mansfield to make him a younger man (which permitted a love episode to be naturally Introduced) and a more sombrr character. This was recognized to be neceeeary and admissible; but the author erred in not making his surroundings light and pleating in con traft to the doctor bimeelf. instead, the other characters are almcst as somber as he is. There are no women in the story, except a housekeeper, and she is repulsive. So ethers had to bs invented. (Joe is not young or amiable: the other is altogether too sad, and the one who is retained is only less repulsive than "Hj de'', himself. Practically there are no other inventions introduced, except an imaginary ghost, and he doesn't ad J any light norlovelinees to tue play. The whole is morose and sad, and the enects produced are upon the nervts and the minds of the audiences; the heart is never touched OUC9. The interest is icteusa to such a degree as to be painful. Tots in tensity is neyer rtlaxeu: and it It were doc for the thoughts excited over the powerful acting of Mr. Maosheld and the dep psychological meaning of tbe d asl characters, criticism of this really magnificent performance of Mr. Mansneld would be stale at this writing, and further I Will not aiuict readers. I find, however, there is soma curiosity as to the success of bit eöorts at changing his appearance before the audience. He does this twice; the hrst time changing from the hideous Hyde to the benign, sadlooking Dr. Jeavll; the other, in the fioal scene, from Dr. Jekvll to Mr. Hyde. The first is tbe most difficult, and yet it is the more deliberately done of the two. As Hide Mr. Mareneld wears a black wig, the long locks of which fall oyer his cheeks and partly conceal his face. His cheeks are blackened to make them lo3k sanken. His lower lip is protruded and reddened. His coat is fastened at the top by a single button. Ashe mixes tbe potion he crouches before a fire, whose light shines fall in his face, but one hand, as he pours out the liquid, conceals bis face, while with tha other be rubs off the red on his lips and the smut on his cheeks. Düring a long speech which follows he conceals these sights charges in his face by bending rather low as be speaks He drinks the potion in this ci ouch iii g attitude and retiins it a mament after, while in the convulsions which pre cede the change. He runs his hands over bis cheek, and in doing so wb'teas them. HU protiuding lip is withdrawn. Hs deftly buttons up his coat in fall, and as be rites to an erect position the looe gar ments appear to h'.l out, but really ht more closely, and at tbe instant that he stands perfectly erect be throws back the lorg locks from his fare and stands com pleteiy metamorphosed into the Dr. Jekyll he bad made famiiisr ia tbe hrst act. The second change from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. lit de Is done at tbe rear of the stage and is far lees difficult, nor is it bo effective, though the death scene is intensely impressive. Three other plays divided for the first time with that of Mr. Mansneld the attent'on of tbe New York public on MomUy night; but "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" may be said to be the only one genuinely successful. "Tbe Arabian Nights ' Is not new. though never before done here; ana, though trivial, It is likely to have a long run. "A Hole in the uround" is one o: those terrible tßlictions cf Mr. C. H. Uoyt, dow familiar to those who go to the theater only to laugh at nonsense without wit. Mrs. Bowers attempted to impose a new version of that Parisian nightmare "Serge Parrine" on this patient public, but they would sot nave it. jonn a M&ckav hss returned to the Bijou why nobody seems to know in a piece called "Circus in Town." It Is miserable rub bish, badly acted by an alleged comic man who cornea mighty near to Deing a lor lorn sort of crushed tragedian. In the dramatic version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. mde" one of tbe characters. Dr. Langon, speaks of Jekyll's experiments as "unprofessional," and jeayii replies "With that reproach you try to strangle SU1U CVSUU ULSVV vvti v tv VI w that effect. An episode In the secret his tory of the late International Medical Con press, at Washin gton, illustrates the fact that this prejudice against advancement in tbe sciences still exists in the medical profession. I am happy to say that in this instance tbe assembled congress was superier in intelligence to the man who tried to inncence It, although bis name was once one to wbom all surgeons paid respect I mentioned in one of my letters that Dr. Milton Joe iah Roberts, of this city, was to read a letter cn tbe subject of amputation of limbs, and to display a curious luven tion of his for quickly cutting tbem off. A ejnopsis of the paper was submitted to the proper omcers. accepted, and tne ar rangrmenta made for the display of the instrument. But Dr. Kobens, on reacn ing Washington, found that there was a serious obstacle in tbe way. The title of the paper on "The Electro Osteotome and Its use in Surgery." wss not to be found on the printed programme, and nobody was authorized to let him setup the eltCtro-osteotome In the' hall where the Congress was to meet. Inquiry finally elided that a communicaton had been received by tbe executive committee warning tlem against permitting Dr. Kjoerl8iodif2iace the Congress by reading bis paper inasmuch as he had taken out a United States patent I The name signed to the absurd old-fogish complaint was tbat of an authority (in the past) Dr. Lewis A. Sayer. Think of that oh lye philanthropists in the profession who would like to see,eurgary so advanced that operations might be made absolutely painless. Dr. . Sayer carefully patents alt the books on .medical scienccjwhieh be issues, but canriot endorse the lda that Re inventor of a

pclenfific instrument should patent it to secure a manufa :tmer of iL 1 am glad to say that Dr. &yre aidn't succeed. I am sorry tbat my premature publication put It In Bayre's potter to annoy Dr. Riberts,

But xioberts is about as ensrgetlc as he is ingenious, and he not only read his paper, but at the request of those who heard it read three others on sargery "Contribution to the Pathology of Hip Disease," 'Contribution to the Pathology of Knee Joint Disease," and "Contribution to the Pathology of of spinal caries;" and still another, regarding another patented inventioi of hi, a corset lor curing diseases and weaknesses of the epioe an invention that all of us who have wives and brothers and sisters know is needed a good deal more man vi. bayre a tneones. And l.oberts, moreover, got all sorts ot htgi praise from really progressive men like Prof. Shoe maker, of Philadelphia, and Prof. Pancoast, who was President of the AnUomcal Section of the Congress. Prof. W. J. Hardman, of Ann Harbor, Michigan, in discussing the corset paper said that it was to be regretted that it had not been read to the full congress. a I advised you some weeks ago. in ad vance of its actual consummation, of ths sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroal to Henry S. Ives. Within twenty-four hours after I had mailed the letter I was compelled to telegraph you to make certain changes about the Ivei part of iL Ives now tells the whole story, and It was just as I wrote you first, except that greater men than Ives came In at the last moment and bought up what? the carcass. It is nothing more nor less- But I suppose they think it easier to carry than to have others drive against their interests. Gould, as usual, is the gobbler.
