about tho sizoof his two fists put together.
Officer II. F. Krueglicr followed Lieut.

to disperse, ho saw Ficlden got down from

Tho witness got a bullet in his right kuco
nnd returned tho firo. Fieldcu after firing
went away and mixed with tho crowd. Ills
recollection wns that thcro wero no pistols
fired before tho bomb oxploded.
0fli,ccr John Wesslor testified that he enw
tho bomb coming. It wns on tho ground
four seconds beforo it oxploded. llo snw
Fieldrn firo two shots from behind tho
wagon. Tho witness fired at him nnd saw
him full under tho wagon. After tho bomb
- oxploded a volley of shots was fired Into
tho poliro.
Ollicer Tctor Poloy snld that tho report
of tho explosion of tho bomb had notdiod

aw Webster firo at a unlit under tho
wagon. Tlio noxt witness wns Luther V.
Moulton, an ollicer of tho Knights of Labor
und a resident of Grand ltnpids, Mich. Ho
saw Spies in IiIh Iiouho in Grand Ihipids
February 22, 1885. Spies was introduced
to him us a lending member of thosoclalists
of Chicago and said ho canio to Grand
Kaplds for the purposo of lecturing. Tho
witness hud questioned him about tho ob
jects of tho society ho represented. Spies
oxplainod that tho reorganization of so
ciety was the end in view, adding that ho
had no coulldenco In legislative or other
peaceful muthoils. Form and arms wero
tho only means by which it could bo ac
complished. Jiosaid that they wero pro
paring formicli a demonstration in Chicago
and in all tlio principal centres In tlio coun
try, mid had a Hiilllcieiit forco already or
ganized in Chicago. Tlio numbor was
3,000. "I remarked," continued tho wit-
iichh, "Unit I did not think .'1,000 would bo
HUlllciunt, but ho said thoy had vory mi po
tior moans In their possession. Ilo wild
that if they took thirty thoy would havo
vury largo accessions from tho ranks of tlio
laboring men. I asked him how they pro
posed to got theso accessions, nnd ho said
by holding out inducements to tho laboring
men. I nsked what inducements, nnd ho
Hiiid thoy would niako their demonstration
whon tlio laboring mon wero ail out on a
Htriko and out of inonoy. Than thoy would
hold out Inducements to rolluvo their
wants, provide thorn witli einploymontand
enso if they Joined tho riinkB of tlio revolu
tionists. Ily tills means, ho said, they
would bo able to hold possession of tho
city. I asked him how thov would carry
out nil this without bloodshed. Spies said
no revolution could bo accomplished with
out bloodshed and loss of life. I asked him
would not that amount to a criminal ac
tion, ami he said if they failed it would bo
looked upon as a crime, but if thoy suc
ceeded It would bo regarded ns a heroic
feat. Georgo Washington would bo regard
ed to-day as a mero revolutionist and
would havo been punished had ho failed,
Tho fniluie, ho said, was tho crlmo. Tho
conversation lusted about half an hour
and tho witness was quite curtain that
Spies mentioned oxploslves.
"Did ho sny anything about tho eight
hour movement?" nsked Mr. Griniioll.
"Yes, he said that, n great number of men
would bo likely to bo dlsemployod by this
movement, ami ho said in answer to a ques
tiou I then put, that this demonstration
would likely bo made about .May 1. Ho
then went on to sny that they wero pre
pared to successfully destroy tho police and
militia. I afterward preshled at tho meet
ing at which ho lectured and took issue
witli him on his doctrines."
The witness was brielly cross-examined
by Captain llliick, in tho rourso of which
tlio only new statement elicited from him
was tho first recital of tho conversation to
Inspector llouiluld a few days ago. George
School who was in Moulton's Iiouho when
Spies called, corroborated Unit witness as
to wlin t. was said Feb. 22, adding that Spl s
explained that tho revolution waHto bo ac
complished by an organization of which no
ono know anything before doing It.

Ho had a pair of large shears hidden In tho

before he could be overpowered. Alter this
Dncy broke ono of tho bed shits and tried
to bruin Deputy Harper of Chicago. The
prisoner was exceedingly violent. Hedrove
a priest from his cell, and spent his time in
giving vent to tho vilest Imprecations. An
extra guard was placed over him. Sheriff
Udell plnced n lino of pickets extending
from the depot to a point half n milo below
the town, becnuse it wns reported that
Cnpt. Dncy, brother of James, threatened,
when he went to Clilcago, to bring outn
gnng oi men to prevent tlio linnging ot his
brother. Whilo it wns tiie general opinion
that there would bo nothing to fear on that
score, it showed how much the llltlo village
was wrougiiu up over tne expected event.
I)cy broke down Into in tho forenoon
nnd manifested great contrition, lie nlso
nsked for his brother, whom iio hitherto re
carded as his enemy, nnd expressed ii desire
to mako poaco with him. Ho was led. in

Owing to tho dentil of an old colleague ol
.Mr. tiaynor a special election was necessary
to in uio vacancy. Tlioro was consider

Dncy tho other. Ono tho night prior to the

custom of ward politicians, and invited
everyone to drink. Noticing Dncy. with
whom ho wns acquainted, an invitation
wns addressed to lum particularly. Stid
donly Dacy wheeled, drew a revolver and
held it close to Guvnor's head and tired
Tho bullet entered tho base of tho skull and
lodged in tho brain. Gnynor died oleven
days Inter. Dacy was arrested, and to
prevent lynching by Alderman Gnynor's
iriends no was secretly removed to a sub
station in tlio outskirts of the city. So
great was tlio feeling against Dacy in the
city that a change of venue was taken to
McIIenry county in June, 1884, where he
wns tiled, found guilty of murder, and sen
tenced to hang May 14, 1880. Gov. Ogles
