SOCIETY AVENGED. .

Continued from 3t page. -du'ftiog in a load bazz of conversion thatcoald te hfari plainly in the cells. Nearly rerybody in the room was smokiL. aM what, with the fearful feeling .of depression felt by the most hard ered, the place was nearly unendurable. It was at this moment that Dr. Mayo, the aesiBtant county ihysician passed through, and rtpidly walked to the cells of the condemned, He asked each if there was any deaire for stimulants, and all save Engel a'one replhd quietly in the negative. :igel asked for some port wine. It was givea him at once, and be gulped down three large glaeses. Spies requested crater, and EeeminRly consumed by a burnIr s thirst, swallowed nearly two tumblers ot the pure, cool liquid. In the jail cilice, deputy Barke was now patsiog around among the throng and taking up the tickets of admission, apparently Indicating that the execution wis cot far distant. This ucuiaal proceeding was objected to by some, bat all were compelled to tobmi. "Wfcüe standing in front of Engels cell, Dr. Bolton was in danger of becoming involved in a religious controversy, for the condemned men boldly combatted tha proportions of the divine. Within a few minutes of 0, a message came from lira. Parsons through a bailiff applying at the jail for admission. The request was sternly refused. The Sheriff and his Chief Deputy were still pouring over their documents and the gloom was deepening on the face of every one in the jail, when suddenly a burst of sunshine caaie through the topmost windows and went straight to Schwab's cell. lie came to the bars, and blinked and basked in the welcome light. TBE GOVERNOR 3 DECISIOS. The Governor's decision on the application for executive clemency was brought to Chicago by Cor. Oglesby's sen. Deputy -Oleaeon Intercepted the messenger on the train near the city limits, and the official -copy was at once brought to the jail by the df putv. It was just 9:30 when imformation ticked from the Associated Press telegregh instrumenta few feet distant irom the cells, that Capt. Black was, at that moment, pleading with Gov. Ogles by, at Sprirgfield. The mefssge was handed into SberiS Matson, who elanced at it a secend, and then crumpled the paper slowly in his land. Whatever the Sheriff's thoughts, no expression of their purport crossed his compressed lips. Five minutes later the SheriS emerged and in reply to a chorus of inqnuies, said phlfgma'ically that he had "not just fixed the time as jet." Chief Deputy Gleason declared that the papers were simply the official notice of the commutation of Schwab and Fielde. The manuscript on which Spies. Parsons and Fischer spent portion of their last re main leg momenta were in part written statements, the nature of which would not be divulged by any of the officials. These were delevered into the hands of Cleik Price who turned them over to the Sheriff,and this' official locked them in his private safe. It was stated by the She riff that Spies, Parsons and Fischer bad in addition, written letters which he had also locked up eecurely. Tars on s' letter was addressed to his wife SBd children, that of Fischer goes to his wife, but the address on that of Spies', the Sheriä refutes to divulge. It is supposed it will reach Nina Van Zandt. Before 10 o'clock Dr. Gray went into the prifooers' cells for the second time, bearding in his hands three wine glasses and a bottle of Jams brscdy with which to brace up the men. Ail of them partook of the stimulant. Adjutant Generfd Vance, cf the State militia, came into the jail at 10 o'clock and was immediately closeted with the Sheriff. Opinion as to his appearance was divided, some thinking it related to some new disposition to bs maaeof the militia, while others believe he carried a supplemental message from Governor Oglesby. About this time Police Inspector John Bon field, who commanded the police at the Hajmarket, entered;the jail, iooking grim as he did within half an hour after the famous bomb massacre. ClfPIB THE GALLOWS. At 10:55, fully 250 newspaper men, local politicians and others, among them the twelve jurors who were to view the bodies alter the execution, had passed through the dark under the gallows, and began seatiDg themselves. The bailiff said a few words to the journalists, begging them to aiakeno rush when the drop fell, but to wait decently and in order. Parsons was given a cup of coffee a few minutes before the march to the scaffold was began. The rattling of chairs, tables and beeches continned for several minutes but; by 11:05 there began to fall a hush, and convex sat ion among the crowd sunk almost to a whisper. Toe bare, white-washed wails msde a painful contrast with the dark-brown gallows with its four noosed ropes dropping ominously near the floor. A gleam of sunshine, ahootir through the window at this instant fell on a corner of the death machine, and in a slight decree relieved its sombre hue. Through the window one saw a number of palicemen armed with rides looking down from the roof of the Dearborn street wing on the proceedings. The chief bailiff began, at 11:10, calling cut the names of persons summoned as jurors, and bringing them forward to the row of little stools directly in front of the gallows. No other sounds were heard in the long, high corridor but the solemn, monotonous voice of the bail iff and the rustling of the jurors as they tiptoed forward through the crowd. A command to the crowd fronting the gallows that all must stop smcking was given at 11:31. The doien or two who were using the weed quenched the fire, some rather reluctantly, and the ashes were slowly strewn on the pavem ent. Whether this command was given out of humanity to the doomed men or as a precaution against the appalling possibility of any treacherous bomb lighting in the corridor when the fatal moment came, no person seemed aware, but mora than one said a prayer down in their inmost hearts. It was now 11:45, and the suspense of the erowd near the gallows was like a slow torture. There was no relief, and the newspaper men g zed at the gallows and noted the four ropes swaying slightly to and fro. C05TEMFT FOR DEATH. Afore utter contempt cf death was probably never shown by any four men. J-'rora the first moments of the morning till the day closed upon them, they would not see shadow either of ignominy or the hereafter. Tbe seven hours from iawa until the four passed to eternity were crowded full with events stirring as a day of battle. Beginning with a flat refusal on the very teeth of death to accept word of comfort from a reverend minister of religion, one of their -number, Fischer, sang to the jtil and the world the eong of the French Revolution, the famous "Marseillaise." Then, with seemingly not a thought of the dread massacre at the Hsjmarket, the four prepared for their anarch toward the gallows almost as if it were a pleasant excursion. Extra ordinary aa were the scenes presented at this moment, it was not till the first man stepped out upon the gallows that the great climax came. The 200 and more writers with nimble fingers waiting to spread the news to the farthest bounds of the earth had almost to a man been gathered in the north corridor of the jalL J here for just one hour tney were im prisoned in front of the dull, red scaffold Kot many of the 200 were present that did sot sit uneasily upon his chair thinking rspidly of the coming doom of four fellow creatures, or perhaps even of the vague possibility of the jail and all within its walls being blown to the blue iky by An juxhistic dynamite. ftlA&fSO THI DEATH WAlKAKT.

Thf fang WM 9. Jt completed

when fn tbe jails distant south corridor unseen and unheard by the main body oi tbe reporters, kic Sheriff Matson at 11:23 . m., accompanied by grim old Jailer Fo'z, the manly looking Rev. Dr. Bolton and a score of stalwart Deputies stepped upcioee to tbe open door of August Spies, cill, preparatory to readir? the death warrant to the four . condemned men. Twenty minutes were occupied in this trjirg formality, rendered doubly an ordeal by tbe horrible silence prevailing and by the Bicken ing odor coming from tbe rood where liy the bloody corpse of their comrade, Louis Lipgg. the suicide. Directly above in their cell lxra the dark hesids and dai ker eyes of the two commuted Anarchists, BamuelFielden and Schwab. Sheriff Matson, with quick breath and heart beating high, carried unsteadily in his band the documents ordering him to cany out thesenter.ee of the law. They were written on a typewriter and all duly attested. The huge iron door swung back on its hirges and Spies stepped firmly forward in fiont of bis guard to listen to the reading of tbe document with his head barrd and slightly inclined forward. The steriff bfgaa reading. Commencing in a low voice, scarcely audible five feet away, he slowly and carefully pronounced every separate word. As the reading progressad he aesumed his natural tone of voice and tot a stumbling or mistake occurred from beginning to end. Not a syllable wss uttered by any one but the sheriff, and no other soutd bat his voice was heard fave the enbdued ticking of the telegraph instruments a few feet away. Boies listened carefully to all that was Slid, but his face did rot chsige for an instant during the rrsdirg. though it occupied at least four minuttp. When Sheriff MaUoa finished, Spies locked at him a moment steadily but without malevolence and then said, se r.tf ntiously : "Sheriff, jou are about to commit a judicial murder." lie said nothing more but stepped quickly from his ceil threshold, giving himself to bs pinioned, and then to be hidden in one of the snow

white shrouds of which a deputy carried an armful. Spies, while being bound, was seen to be dreswd in a pair of dark woolen trousers and a shirt cf light gray dsnnel fastened at the throat with a tiny red cord. His feet were Incased in a pair of embroidered slippers. Fresh beard was growing on his chin, and his light curly hair was brushed back carelessly. Taking his watch from b's pocket he handed it to a deputy, requesting him to deliver it to bis mother. A strons: leather belt was then passed around his body securely fastening his arms straight dowu to where a pair of bright nickel plated manacles beb ed him fastened Lis wrists together. A mon ent later his body was completely er velopcd in a shroud, loosely gathered about the neck. The Sheriff was a dres3in Adolph Fischer, who was even more indifferent thau Spies at tbe formality. Like Soiea, he told the uteris tLat it wss a judicial murder. Ficcher had his slouch hat on, but removed it aa be steppsri out of his cell. Be was neatly dress d in a blue flannel thirt. new dark breeches, and had been shaved but a few honrs before. He nodded to Spies in a p'esant mnnner and akcd him in German low hs felt. 8 pi es rmüed good naturedl.? , and replied that he felt first rate. Er gel heard the reaJinz of the death warrant with stolid indilf erence, and did not utter a single word of omaient. A few mirutes later, while standing beside Spies atd Fischer, he said, "Well." as if to irqniie their feelings. Spis and Flasher replied by smiling cfceeriiy and nodding. IMore their aims were pinioned all of tbe men shook bands with Jailer Fo!z and the deputies surrounding tbem, with all of whom they bad become well acquainted during their many :uon:h3 confinement. Parsons' warrant was read last. He teemed to have nerved himself up to a great tension, and had nothing to say in reply. Like Eogel he was clai in a full suit of black dress clothes, even to a Prince Albert ccat He stepped l ghtly from his cell when ibe reading was finished, but drew back involuntarily at the sight of tbe three ghojtly-looking fijares, blunt and shrouded before him. ,,Bind me tight," he said, "and be sure and make m mistake," but the deputy complied too welL Parsons had him reach under the shroud and ease one of the straps. "That's better," be remarked, with a smile. "Now I am ready." Forming in double file, each of the four Anarchists side by side with a deputy were now headed east and started for the gallows. A stop at the iron door of tbe cages gave the four a chance to tarn their beads in the direction of the second gallery of the jail and bid good-bye several times to Schwab and Fielden, receiving broken guttural farewell salutes in return. Here again the spiritual consolation was offered by the Itev. Dr Bolton, now for the last time. A sarcastic smile lit up the faces of all four men, aa they resumed their tread along the corridor and turned slowly into the dark east angle, disappearing like ghosts up the steps of the galiowsv VTOy THE SCAFFOLD. It lacked just seven minutes and !half of the hour of high noon when a single white shrouded figure, above which .was a face of yellowish pallor, the face of August Spies, passed the first post of the gallows. The gaping crowd, ten.feet below, half rose involuntarily from their chairs at the first glimpse of the apparition advancing across the ficatfoid. Spies looked calm and glanced down at the reporters with a trace of his old-time cynical smile. He walked firmly over the drop, guided by the grasp of a deputv, to tbe furthest edge of the gallows. Following close came Fischer close enough to touch Spies shroud had his hand not been pinioned under tbe white muslin.FLscber's countenance had a peculiar glisten totally unlike the ashiness of Engel' heavy features, and ia strange contrast with the dead lack of color in the pinched lineaments of Parsons. Tbe once jaunty, vivacious Texan came last, a withered old man. He had aged twenty years since the day and hoar, scarce twelvemonths before, when he tripped lightly into the court before Judge Gary, and flippantly declared that he was ready to be tried at ones for his life. Tbe mameat his feet touched the scaffold. Par sons seemed to completely lose his identi ty and to feel that hisfspirit was no lon ger part of his body, lie had wrought himself to an ecstacy of solemn self-glorification. Only he the one American seemed to realize to the full that te must die in a manner to impress if possible on all future generations the thought that he was a martvr. ro tragedian tuat has paced a siege in America ever made a more nurvallcns presentation of a self chosen part. perfevi in every detail. The upward turn of his eyes, his dtant, far away look, and above all, the attitude of apparent complete resignation that every fold of the avkwtrd shroud only served to make more distinct, wss by far the most striking feature cf the entire gallows picture. The squat form of Er eel alongside, with stutid, wide-jawed face, made a hideous contrast to Parsons' assumption of the halo of a martyr. 1 iacher was head and should era taller than the other three, making his only occasional loots of too-evident bravado more noticeable than m!ght otherwise be. at a sorry disadvantage compared with the steady coolness of Spies. The latter s ex hibitfon of quiet, thorough nerve, far sur passed, as a wonder, the demeanor of any of his comrades. The four burly deputies standing to the rear of the four condemned men began withcut delay to adjust the ropes, Spies' noote being the one first placed. He did not appear to regard it ol any more consequence than a new linen collar. The knot was slipped down the cord, close against his neck. Spies did not show a tremor, but when the same process was bain" carried out withTiacher he.'turned.and quickly whir pared to the bailiff some suggestion concerning the rope. Fischer's occasional ardor was quite noticeably lessened when hi felt the i;mptt rtr,aj, tat Za bit

his ander lip hard when his turn came. Just then Dr. Murphy, a youog physician' standing back of Engel, whisperingly cracked a joke at Engel's ear. Incredible it may seem, but the lo wbrowed Anarchist laughed outright with tbe rope around his neck, and while another was being fastened on Parsons by his side. But the grotesque laugh stopped in a single Instant, and Parsons, meekly as a saint, cast his eyes upward at the dangling line aboye him. Before the four Anarchists had an Inkling of what was to bs done, the white caps were deftly slipped upon their heads and drawn quickly down to tbe necks, shutting off the view ot each as completely and with lees warning than does the camera cloth of a photographer. THE LAST WORDS. TZZZ August Spies was the first of the four doomed men to make use of his wits while be could. In a tone of intense bitterness of spirit, he, the man who wrote the Infamous revenge circular, hissed out between his tightly clenched teeth: "There will come a time when our silence will be more Eowerful than the voices they are strangng to death." Tbe last syllable of Spies' concluding words, hoarse with suppressed passion, had not resched an end when Engel, raising his voice, wildly cried: "Hurrah for Anarchy." Fischer caught the fire of the utterance and still more loudly exclaimed, "Hurrah for Anarchy," adding: "This is the happiest moment of my life." There was a silence like the grave, broken abruptly by the slow measured intonation of Parsons like a white robed priest before tbe altar of sacrifice. Not a dying request, but rather like a command or warning he sounded forth: "May I be allowed to tpak?" Then with a slow entreaty cams: Will jou let me speak. Sheriff Matson?" Thers was another agonizing pause. Muffled throngh the shroud broke out in unnatural hollow accents:' Let the voice of the people be heard." A crash of a falling house thunders through the corridors. The slender ropes weie taut. In lull view of the two hundred men in front were the four white, writhmz Bhrouds. The ropes could bs seen slowly tightening about the necks that between cap and shroud could be noticed blackening and purpling. Nine mortal minutes passed. Then it was known to a certainty that not a neck had been broken. The four Haymarket murderers bad been literally throttled and strangled by the law. OUT6IPK WATCHES. When intelligence came outside that the men were on the scaffold, the olhsera who were outside the lines of the police want to tbe northeastern corner of the jail ou Illinois street and waited. Thre wera in tbe group Chief Ebersold, Capt. Sihaask, Lieut's. Kippley, Bald and Blatner, and three patrolmen. On the roof of the Criminal Court building, where they ciald look through one of the jail windows, were posted nine policemen and a deputy sheriff. From their position tley could see the scaffold and the condemned men upon iL As the grim moment approached, the men on the roof kept the officers below informed of the proceedings inside. As 12 o'clook drew near, m policeman, who was straining his eyes to see the interior of the jail, raieed bis hand and without turning his head aside, said: ''They are putting on the caps." For an instant the cluster of officers below waited with bated breath and heads halt inclined to one side waiting to hear the noise of the drop. "Sh," murmured the man on the roof. A loud thump came from the interior of the jail. It was the sound made by the falling trap. Every one in the ? roup beard distinctly, and everybody knew what it meant. The expectant waiters broke np quickly. The policemen on the roof threw down their guns and clapped their hands, and then ceasad suddenly as though ashamed of the act. Capt. Scbasck flung one arm in the air and smiled feebly. His facs was flushed. Chief Ebersold shifted his position, said tothirg, and then walked quietly away. One of the others pulled out his witcb, closed the case with a snap, and exclaim ed :

Tnree minutes of twelve, recollect tu" IRE SEWS SrRtADS A reporter jerked a white handkerchief from his pocket an 1 waved it as a sternal to the crowds passing along orth Clark street. It was understood. A cry went np, and in an incredible short space of time the intelligence was blocks away, and the buzz and hum of excited conversation sounded like the rising ot a tide. The armed patrolmen stopped in their regular tramp and dropped the butts of their guns to the earth with a clatter. Others broke off in their hoarse shouts to the crowds of "Move on, move on." Some shook handa with their elbow neighbors and exchanged congratulations. Nothing but pronounced opinion upon tbe Anar chists "go" among the police. With most of the people in the vicinity, there was no other feeling than tbe stir of ideas which a big piece of news always creates, and the sudden ending o? expectation. Messenger hoys came shooting like rockets from the Criminal Court building, and ran breathless with bits of white paper ifattering in their hands. In eieht minutes newsboys were darting through the crowd bawling out: "Extra, extra, all about the Anar3hiats hung." KCMOV1KG TUB BODIES., When the coffins were brought to the scaJold, Sheriff Matson exclaimed: 4HIs will be done." The bod' es were lowered in the following order: Spies, Fischer, Eoseland Parsons. All looked natural. The coffin lid3 were quickly screwed down. Paper tabs were pasted on each for identi fication. Lngersand Llngg's, the suicide s remains, were taken to 2S0 Milwaukee avenue. Fischer s wife claimed his. Mrs. Spies took August's and Mrs. Parsons re ceived that of her husband, spies was removed in his coffin at 1: 10. The remains were received by a committee of the Central Labor Union composed of Mf sirs. Sta-uber, Linne rue j er, Schmedinger, Urban and Bethi;. Before the committee left the jail tbey went to the visitors' cage and shouted goodbyes to Schwab and Fleldon, who will be removed to the penitentiary to-morrow. The members of the committee kissed their hands and raised their bats to tbeir impilsonsd comrades and aadly left. It wh wonderful to nota bow quickl the excitement which had filled tbe jail all morning calmed dorn. The 2u0 prisoners cotifined in tbe place who had been in fever heat during the trag io event ot the day regained their usial spirits. They cracked jokes from cell to cell; as they had bad nothing to ea t site breakfast, they soon began to yell for "soup, soup." The spectators who had witnessed the banging walked rapidly out of the inclosure and the weary deputies went to dinner, tbe only ones left in the jail office being the press representatives. At 1:30 o'elock the coffin in whieh lay the body of Parsons was carried out of the j all and taken to tbe house ol the widow. Curious police officials walked into the jail to leara how tbe execution had been proceeded with, and were in turn questioned as to how the citizens outside had acted. "There was absolutely no trouble," one and all replied. Fischer s remains were removed to hl home at 1:35 o'clock. Many people displayed autographs of the dead Fischer, which he had written dur ing the morning. It was estimated that he made htty of them in au. rney ail read alike and were couched In the fol lowing worda: "Anarchy is liberty. Adolph Fischer, Cook County Jail. Nov ember 11. 1847." Letters were written this morning by order of the Sheriff to the relatives of the doomed men notifying them that they could take possession of tbe bodies after the hanging and make arrangements for the funerals. The letters were delivered in person by Deputy Johnson, who was visibly affected by his sad dnty. Mrs. Boies, August's mother. Uvea at 14 Bryson street, when the deputy arrived he was at fint dcu'.el aimU-jiQU y.aJ;c U? Im

pression that in was a reporter. He went around to the back door and there a moit affecting scene met bis gaze. Mrs. Spies aat at the table wailing as if her heart would break. The lamentations of the household could be heard across tbe street. The deputy handed the lettei to Mrs. Spies' sister and left. Mrs. Engel keeps a little toy and notion shop at 2-Q Milwaukee avenue. Papers were up in the windows, but tbe door was not locked. Entering, the deputy confronted Mrs Engel. She was calm, passionless and pale. There was no excitement, but an ominous calm pervaded everythire. Last zygbt a large crowd gathered around Ergel s place, but It was not demonstrative. This morning there was another mob, which stared at the windows for a while snd then dispersed. Deputv Johnson found Fischer's hoase locked, silent and deserted. This was iu. a German neighborhood, at No. 4 Dean street, where few Engiiah speaking people could be found. The letter was laft with a neighbor. Mrs. Parsons lives at No. 735 Milwaukee avenue, but she was not at home, being down at the scene of the excitement. Deputy Johnson says that the griet displayed by Spies' family is something terrible to contemplate, but the relatives of the other men are not as visibly affected. AFTER THE HASGISCi. After the hanging the center of attraction to idle curiosity seekers was transferred j to Milwaukee avenue, at points along which thoroughfare the bodies of the dead men lay. At a little uadertaker'a shop at ISO Milwaukee avenue, the bodies of Lingg and Engel were prepared for the grave. Tbe latter's remains were easily cared for. acd after being placed in a neat black cloth covered casket were taken to the little store at2S6 Milwaukee avenue, where the widow and brother of the dead man waited to receive them. There was an esgcr, curious crowd hanging around the shop, and though fully a hundred persons followed the black wagon that transferred tbe remains to Eagle's old horn, the crowd did not seem to diminish iu the least. People pushed and shoved and crowded to get a sight of the interior of the store in the rear of which Lingg's body lay, while an undertaker did his best to make the mangled face moie sightly. It was a difficult task, and it was some hours after En gel's body lay in state In his old home before the suicide's remains wre placed in a neat casket with silver trimmings exactly like that holding Engel's body. When this was finally done Lfngg's mortal remains were carried out and pieced besides those of his old friend. Hundreds of friends ot the dead men filed into and out of the little shop and took a last look at tbe faces almost strange from tbe passage of time. At one end ot the store Mrs. Engel eat with eyes red with weeping, and her face shrouded in a black veil. Eda Mueller sat, too, beside the casket which held all that remained on earth of her lover. Her face was pale as death, and she sobbed convulsively as the sympathizing friends filed in and out. Further np the avenue, at No., 59G is au.other undertaker's shop, where the bodies of Spies, Parsons and Fischer were cared for. Mrs, Parsons was the most noticable person here. She sat with her bask to the window, through which a hundred eager, curious ej es peered. AJittle wonian'clothed in black with face covered by a heavy veil held Mr?. Parsons' hands. This was Mrs. Van Zandt, and Bhe was as deeply iffected bs were the Anarchists' wives. A small bowed figure sat alone in a corner on a low stool. It was Mrs. Spies, the Arch-anarchist's mother. Her head was bowed in her hands and they were almost in her lap. She rocked to and fro in an agony of grief strangely at variance with the actions of Mrs. Parsons, who sat bolt upright and looked toward where the body of her husband lay. Her eyes were fixed in a stony stare. They were large and lustrou, but seemed to have lost tbe power of weeping. There she sat, one

hnd clasped in that of the woman next to her, her lips moving as though mutter ing some resolve, the thin, peaked, dark features peering from behind the mau of crepe and looking aa though there was something in the future to anticipate. lers was a striking ngnre. 'linere were little crowds along the nue, but they were CDinpDsei of idle curiosity seekers, not of sympUhizsrs with the Anarchists' oause. There was little excitement, and while groups of men stood on tbe street corners and discussed be execution, there was not a nolicemin in sight, nor any apparent need of oae.C Ibe only sign of open interest was shown at the Aurora Turn Hall, ou Ila ron 3treet, near Milwaukee avenue. Here nag was at half mast, and in the salooa below erouDS of men gathered and ex pressed their disapproval of the hanging. Tbere were some scowling face? nere, and the stranger was not cordially greatel.

Chicago, Novemb9r 11. Sheriff Matson sat in his private office this evening very pale, and the dark rings beneath the eyes showed that he was worn out with thinking, excitement and hard work. He leaned back in his easy cnair and rested his feet in another seat in front of him as he surveyed a lithograph of twenty-eight Sioux Indiana being executed at on time, which occurred in 12. "Four at once is enough,'' he remarked, as- be looked at the picture. "iou look tired,'- remarked the re porter. "Well, 1 do not deceive my looks, then" he replied. "I have slept but little this week and not at all last night." "Are you satisfied with the result of the duty imposed opon yon?" "Yes; I think the execution passed off as well as an unpleaant thing like that could. It Is always a sad job for an official to perform, bat with a healthy moral public sentiment behind him the officer feels strong ia doing his duty. I had no fears that there would be trouble. The police aided ma 'greatly, the arrangements of Chief Ebersold and Captain Schaack this morning being admirable, and toj much credit cannot be given them aal their efficient force. I did all I could to have tbe thing carried out decently and in order, and think we tucceeded fairly well. Th re was not a crowd in the jail and very few curiosity seeker?. The jury was of business men, and outside of tbese and a few fix si-class physician., who were present, there was only the representatives of the pre a," 'Do you take any significant meaning from the last words of the doomed raenr' "No, 1 do not," replied the sheriff. He sat still a minute thinking of the broken sentence of Parsons as the drop fell, and then said: "With the strained public sen timent I did not deem it expedient to have the men make long speeches at that time. Of course it is customary, and it is believed that a man can talk as much as he pleases on the scaffold, but tbere is no law authorizing it, and l deemed it best not to allow it. It seemed to me that it wonld only lead to excitemont. There had been no understanding that they would be allowed to talk at the scaffold, but on tbe contrary, as we were going to the gallows, I was told by Dr. Bolton they did not want tc. as they had written a great deal to be printed." "Do you apprehend that there will be any trouble at the r onerai v "No. I do not: I think the better jadg ment of the friends of the unfortunate meq will prevail aad that nothing will Pa

done to cause a repetition of to-day's work." "Why was the death execution delayed from 10 to 12 o'clock ?" "Merely to give the men all all the chance to escape tbeir doom that there was. It was my intention yesterday to have the work over promptly at 10 o'clock, bot when I heard that Capt Black was at Springfield pleading with the Governor I

decided to hold off and give them the benefit cf their counsel's work, . I did not care to have it said that we Lad rushed them to eternity when there was a chance of their being saved. And so I waited. We were ready at . 10 o'clock, but a short time before tbat a telegram came that Captain Black was Interceding with the Governor. At 10:15 a second dispatch came that Captain Black had left the executive's presence, and that the latter had declared it his Irrevocable intention not to interfere further with the verdict of the courts. I might have hanged them then, but waited until the usual time here for carrvirg out the execution." The sheriff does not seem to fear that hewill be prosecuted for murder by Attorney Black and Salomon, as per notice yesterday, but expressed himself that it was a very foolish notion. He believes Mrs. Parsons should be watched and prevented from traveling about as the widow "of a martyr" to carry out the work of organizing the Anarchists. Bis Dread fat Luck. Chicago News.
