TARSONS VISITOR
Washington Nov 4 A special
patch to the New York World to
list
dis
day
from Chicago about the condemned anar-
chist Parsons says Among the visitors
was a gentleman from Sin Antonio Tex
who called to see Parsons The meeting
between them was most cordial It was
learned that the visitor and Parsons had
been officers in the Texas Legislature at
or about the same time Parsons once
lived in San Antonio andwas anxious to
know of hia visitor if all hispid
friends had forsaken him since he had got
into trouble When assured tbat none of
thein had forgotten him but sympathizsd
deeply with him in his enaction Parsons
eyes became moist with tears and he
trembled with visible emotion
I have brought you a remembrance of
your old home said the Texan At the
same time he extracted from his pocket
two badges the first being a narrow piece
of white silk ribbon on which w printed
Bexar Delegation and en the other a
pltce of deep blue ribbon about an inch
snd a half wide by five inches
long on which was printed the
words Texas and freedom When
Parsons rectived them through the iron
grating he pressed them to bis busom
and said Parsons declares his inno-
cence God bless Texts and you my
good friend for bringing in theso mo
raentoes to me There is not a liberty
loving man on American soil today
whose face does not
FLUSH WITH SHAME
when he thinks of the decisions of the
various courts of 3 astice in condemning
me and my comrades to death 15 is an
outrage to the manhood of America a
shame and a disgrace to the civil
izsd world I have dons nothing
for which any man of honor houid feel
ashamed I have not offended ftgaitipt
any laws of my country I am con-
demned to death for exercisirfg the priv-
ileges of an American citizen for tx rcis
ing free speech as gDaranteed to every
cltz2n of the United States by the Fed-
eral constitution
Will you not a low your friends to
plead for executive clemency
Why should my friends be for me
I have commi ted no crime If I were to
ask executive clemency that would be as
much as saving I am guiity of the charge
for which I am
TO FAY THE aEATH FENALTY
I have no appeal to make to the Governor
as I am not guilty As the decisions of
highest courts show the common wage
earner need expect no mercy at their
hands when justice cannot be meted out
where j astice is due then there is no
hope for mercy from those who are the
mere tool3 of capitalists who are crying
for my blood and the blood of my com-
rades Texas and freedom ohwhat
cheering words to a man in my position
Would that all my friends could realize
THE TRESENT CONDITION
of him who was once one of their hon-
ored citizens If the question of this j a
dicisl murder were put to a popular vote
of the American people today nine
tenths of them would say Do not murder
one of these men They are the true
friends cf labor and the sincere friends
of i qusl rishts to all men resardless of
weaUh Yes the sentence will be fr-
onted and I will die upon the scaffold an
innccent msn Future generations
WILL NOT JUDGE ME
and my comrades as murderers nor do
the American people of today think we
deserve the extreme penalty of the law
Again pressing the badges to his heart
Parsons said Texas and freedom will
follow rns to the scaffold Goodbye my
friend wa may never meet again and
with this he protruded hia liage through
the iron grating and with his eyes lilted
with tears parted from the friend with
whom he had so frankly conversed for
half an Hour He was visibly eft ced
when ever the name of any of his old
Texas friends ws mentioned and par-
ticularly cautioned his visitor to say good-
bye to all who remembered hJm

Cooner today sent out a circular to

following is an extract Under the
legislative provisions made for the pay-
ment of the coupons Issued under
the authority 01 the Department of
Education there aro now registered
warrants on coupon 1 1887 and 1888
amounting to about 425000 It is
not probable that all of theSe yarv
rontswillbe paid before February 14
1888 They wiU be paid in the orders of
registration by the Treasurer beginning
CRAT PUBLISHINGCOISont WwmW 20 THe delay in the
payment of these warrants is deplorable
but lt is unavoidable 1 is not the
fault of the Comptroller of the
Treasurer Although there i3 more than
1000000 in the State Treasury the
State Treasurer would be guilty
of a penal offense if he
paid out any of the money on
warrants drawn against the available
echoed fund The Board of Education
has no power to borrow money or take
any steps vhich wouli reduce the
present deplorable delay in the
payment of these overdue clxiras against
the school fund The State Superinten
dent has made every possible
effort to remedy this unfortunate
state of affairs bat is absolutely power-
less in the matter This state of affairs
has existed for several years
IS results indirectly from the
excessive appointments made two
years ago Abont 300000 of the availa-
ble fund for 18SG and 1887 was used in
paying off the excess of the apportion-
ment of the receipts for the year
1885 and 188G The apportionment
far 1880 and 1887 was put at 475 per

FIKLDEN PROHaBLY fcAVKD
Chicago Il Nov 9 Tne Tribune
this morning hays Judge Gary has
written a statement in behalf of the state
ttiat will undoubtedly result iu saving
Fielden from the gallows The statement
relates to none of the other prisoners
and cannot possibly affect their fate one
way or another It is not a petition fnor
request for commutation of tne sentence
and neither is it a bare statement of
facts Just what it contains could not be
learned las5 nighr but it is rather a sug-
gestion to tho Governor that in view of
certain facts therein recited favorable
consideration of Fieldene petition might
be justified The Ju2gu was asked if he
would give a copy of it or make any
statement as to what the points enumer
ated were but declined to answer He
said he had not written any stdtement for
any of the other anarchist he having
not been asked to do so
Sttes Attorney Gricnell was told what
Judge Gary had said and asked if he had
done anything cf a similar nature I
indorsed Juage Garys statement m
Fieldens case be said and also added a
few points tnat occurred to me I made
a plain statement of a few facts in regard
to Schwab that I thought the Governor
ought to know but I made so sugges-
tions whatever merely a statement of
lacts aud have written nothing in regard
to the other cases nor will I I did not
deem it policy for the state and refused
to do anything
ANARCHIS1S HELD IN BOND
Chicago III Nov 9 Fred Korst
ana Emil Wende two well known an-
archists were before Justice Lyon this
morning the former charged with con-
spiracy and carrying concealed weapons

These two men were arrested B3 an-
nounced in these dispatches last night
Tne cases were continued until the 18 oh

in defa uit of wnich they were locked up
Sixth United States Infantry under com-
mand of Major Lyster arrived at High
wood thi3 morning haying traveled 1835
miles within the last four days Tne
troops were marched to the government
tract a d in less than an hour United
States flags were run up and Camp
Highwood was a thing in fact The
soldiers are grizzled veterans snd have
been engaged in all sorts of fights during
those years and of course their principal
service has been against the Indians
Said one veteran H any man shows dis-
respect for that flag pointing to the
flag he should be shot by order of a
court martial None of the officers bad
any idea they would be needed here next
Friday They cannot understand such a
thing as execution of law being prevented

ney Zefsler this aftsrnoon at the request
of Captain Slack for the purpose pt ob-
taining from him a statement about the
bombs found in his cell Sunday last
Lmgg denied in German that he rwd any
knowledge of the bombs end then con-
tinuing said I have and still do refuse
to sign any petition to the Governor ask-
ing for commutation of my sentence I
and a few others will Surely hang but I
will not make a statement for the benefit
of those who have tigned the
petition I hate them for the
course they have taken and
would not lift one of my fingers to saye
them if I could
At the end of the interview Llngg
turned away in an unconcerned manner
Captain Black and Attorney ZSisler in
company with Nina VanZindtj subse
quently had a short conferencetwith Spies
Fielden and Schwab in the lawyers cage
tion that they had absolutely nothing to
do with the bombs frought to the j51
Then for the last time Captain Black vis-
ited Parsons Fischer and Engel in the
presence cf Jailer Folse for the purpose
of inducing them to sign a petition to
Governor Oglesby askifg for mercy It
was all without avail Parsons voicing the
determination by the words If the state
can affjrd to put me to death I cr u aflord
to die With this the trio remained
firm notwithstanding when but a few
minutes before the wives and children of
the three men despairingly beseeched the
men to sisn for their sake

Chicago III Nov 9 Dr James G
Kiernan former warden of Cook county
hospital for the insane filed a petition in
the County court to day charging the fact
that Louis Lingg the anarchist boom
maker under sentence of death is insane
and that it would be for the benefi and
for the safety of the community that he
be confined in the state hospital for the
insane The facts in the esse the peti-
tion alleges can be proved by the peti-
tioner and George E Detvveiler Ferdi
nand Spies Ida Spies Henry Spies Chris
Spie Mrs Kutikman Gustavo Patch
Louise Zetter Mr Lnnemeyer and Mrs
Bentley all residents of Cook
county The petition further
6tates that Lingg nas no

tlut he conld do nothing in the case
knowing as he did who Llngg was5
and that he was in that county
j il ou a criminal change and
under sentence of death The attorney
who had the petition in charge said the
court conid not know authoritatively that
Lingg wes in jail as no evidence had
been given ana the courtwss only
to jadgeof the points brought ouSina
legal way The court insisted he could
use hi3 private infcrnhvion in some
cases and this in his opinion was one in
which it was necessary Ho said that he
would not issue the writ without due
notice having been given the states attor
ney The attorney at once wrtte notice
to Mr Grinneil aud said he wouldjry to
have the other side Tepreainted at
2 pm todsywhen he ho peL to be

SOLDIERS ON THE GROUND
Chicago 111 Nov 9 For the first
time in thirtytwo years Cnicago has a
military camp Two companies of the
yer advanced but a little ways when he
cape to the passage that said never be-
fore the day oi the Hay market riot had a
single meeting of anarchists been inter-
rupted by the police At this point Gov-
ernor Oglesby interrupted and asked if
he was to understand that statement as
truthYes
Yes sir replied the lawyer and fur
thermorathat very meeting was attended
b Mayor Harrison himself who remained
until within twenty minutes of the riot
Proceed said the Governor Captain
Black took 20 minutes to read the peti-
t ton and when he closed he said This
hag been signed by Michael Schwab
Samuel Fielden and August Spies The
reason that the accused Parsons Fischer
Engel and Llngg did not sign lt wos be-
cause they claimed that they had for-
warded to Your Excellency their auto
graphletters and aid not thiuk it neces-
sary to sign this The petition recited
the history of the allegedoffensef or which
petitioners had been condemned It af
firmed that none of tfcem either threw the i the
fatal bomb or advised its throwing that
they had no kaowledgeof the f Act that it
was to be thrown that they had alwaya
couoselled and encouraged peace Con-
siderable space was devoted to an at-
tempt to show that thevbadnot had
f iir trial and indeed that such trial was
impossible in Chicago in view of the in-
fluence and the state of public sentiment
at the time it took place Captain Black
presented an affidavit from Oitis F
Favor a business man of Chicago tend-
ing to show that the jury which
tried the anarchists had been de-
liberately packed against them by the
bailiff After reading the petition and
affidavit Captain Black addressed the

clemency and stated that Judge Gary and
States Attorney Grinneil had joined m a
recommendation for clemency Having
dispensed with the more formal parts of
the application he made an eloquent and
touching appeal Ior mercy that
brought tears to the eyes of many of
his auditors lis said Now at last we
csa produce the truth when it will not be
refused
Not we have a chance to place ernor from Spies this evening
it in r legal form before the people aud
before the world and before Your Escel
lencv You know Your Excellency that
the flood tide of passion which filled the
air like subtle poisonous ether which hung
around the temple of justice which
hov3rcdjj > ver the judges beich which
fifed the jury room with its fatal vapor
and whica filled even the heart of the
state attorney in the case though
I wish to make no charges against
any men Nov Your Excellency you
and obtained a formal written declara sit outside the pale of public prejudice
and passion you sit on the high seat rep-
resenting the people of the great state of
Illinois Beside you sits msrey in her
kindliest mood and from your place you
can set things right without being touch-
ed by popular clamor You can decide
from this seat of power where j astice
tempers mercy if you grant this plea cf
mercy it will be a grand example of
the wisdom of the framers of our funda-
mental law which gavs mercy in the per-
son of your excellencys hand maiden to
justice
General Trumbull followed and simply
asked for mercy in plain and unpreten-
tious terms
Mrs Cora L V Richmond represent-
ing the Amnesty Association was the
next speaker Sae had evidently careful-
ly prepared for the occasion and spoke
without hesitation and well Sie argued
that public policy and justice was op-
posed to capital punishment generally
and pleaded earnestly aud eloquently for
the wives mothers and children of tne
condemned
Hon E M Haynes followed He asked
for commutation on the groundsof justice
and public policy His address was char
acteristic and amused rather than con-
vinced
Senator Streeter of the legislative com-
mittee was the next speaker He was
brief An adjournment until 2 oclock
pm followed his address

violence I protest again that I had no

For the first time siree tne Supreme
court passed en the case Nina VatZtndt
was today denied admission Sue toiled
up the iron stairs in the rain opened the
floor aid took refuge in the closed entry
A moment later her white face was ap
i eaiing and in humble t6nes she ask
was
ing to be let in The doorkeeper shock
bis head Folse was absent She sent
for him He came out and in a kind-
ly but very positive tone told her he was
obliged to reuse her entrance She re
inaine where she was holding on to the
iron bars as if not comprehending what
was SAid The jailer said Spies is
locked up and cant be let ou and yon
conld not pee him if yon did come in
Slowly the youcg girl turned away
She groped her way down the stairs anc
with painful steps went out through the
jtil yard end turned down the alley But
ihe jail door was opened while she was
ou tne threshold lt was opened for the
atied Mrs Engel who was accorded a
brief talk with her husband None other
of the wives or others called this morn-
ing Thcy remained nnviaited with the
Finale exception of Fielden who bad a
caller in the person cf Riv Dr Bolten
Spies Parson and Lingii remained
OUT of sight
in their cells Tnere wa3 no movement
to be noticed All interest just now be-
longing to the fate of the doomed n
connpel as weil are out of town
What will the Governor do was
arked often about ihe jtil this tnornins
It was the general belief that nothug
would be heard from Springflell before
tomorrow
The anarchists mnd = no inquiry or talk
with each other during the nnrnicg
Whatever their hopes their iecr their
wishes or thought they keep ii < ein to
themselves All over town quiet bat

alk to relieve the horrible ttdium Ili
talked earnesty and as conjidirabie

hi3 excellently was evidently laboring
with theqnestion and spoke very frankly
of the djflicuUies cf the situation Sal-
ter told the Governor that if he had
wsited over in Chicago until this evening
he could have presented a still more im-
posing list of prominent names
en the petitions The Governor rep3id
I am glad you did not wait till tonight
to cemi down for I must in justice to
these men decide the question
very soon It will not dj to
delay much longer
A Governor Oglesby was About to step
into hia c flies Mrs Black stopped tim
Sae was permitted to speak a few minutes
when the Governor interrupted With
Excuse mp madam but I should like to
take care of tiis case myself
The min in whom all were interested
finally forced his way out of the
crowd in the reception room and after
he had reached the open air he walked
along toward the executive juacsion
It ws a memorable tight bj3 the vives
end friends of the condemned mens opd
in fiont o the capitol and gazed wilfc
tearstained eyes at the retreating
figure A telling point by the
mvrcy seekers wc3 madem the afternoon
almost at the outset William Urban
representing 10000 woikicg men was
at tbe moment addressing the G wtrnor
Tne shooting of Begiy by Pin ertou
pa the stockyards was instanced by
Urban as a case where murder was com-
mitted by the memher of a well known
organization The Pinkerton agency was
in the employ of ancthtr welIKcown
organization the Packers union and tee
controlling spirits of the organ zsMon
were not held responsible for the cime
of en individual member The plea seem
archists has been transferred to Spring jreiy interested the Governor strongly nd
field Most of their friends and their UccsMcti for a repetition cf the sentence
raugeinens that raiy have something tc
e many of ths
concerning the murder The Governor
seemed if possible to grow more deeply
impressed as thejnomehts sped and by-
standers did not fail to mark the
cue with which he ordered
each petition carefully arranged fcr
future reference and the particular solic-
itude in obtaining the name snd address
and standing of each spokesman Grad-
ually the friends < t the coLdemncd bc
rame more and more hopeful as the ce
mesuor cf tbe Governor plairly
showed that a
