The news of the finding of the bombs spread like wildOre. A universal reaction of the amnesty sentiment was immediately apparent. Hundreds of citizens who had signed the petition for clemency regretted their action and wished they had never appended their names to the paper. Twenty of the officers of the central detail were in the souad room when a reporter entered and told them the news. Instantly there was a storm of indignation.

Tho word 'bombs" recalled to them the scenes of the Haymarket, and there was but one expression of comment on the subject One lieutenant sarcastically remarked: Well, they ought to pardon Lingg, anyway." The general opinion around the police stations was that whatever might be fate of the others, Lingg's dxm was sealed and he would have to go to the gallows. It is doubtful if the condemned ftien wdl longer bo allowed the privilege of reading the daily papers. It was suggested to the sheriff that the advertising columns might teasdv be utilized as a means of communication in cipher between them aud outsiders, and in nil probability they will be deprived of their principal pleasure. The news of the bomb discovery was received with jeers and laughs at the socialist political headquarters. "Ha, ha," laughed four or five of the hangers-on, "is this the newest device for murdering the imprisoned boys?" "Uow many bombs were found?" asked Mrs.

Parsons, who happened to be in the room. Four," answered the reporter. Why, that's just one for each of the boys," sneeringly replied the anarchist's wife, who evidently ignores the three who have petitioned for mercy. "Are the four bombs all that the detectives and deputy sheriffs could discover? My, my, what a discovery it was, and how do the police or the powers that be explain the presence of these bombs in Lingg's cell?" "Don't know," echoed several newspaper men. I hnve.it," cried Mrs.

Persons. 'Don't give this away will you? The way those bombs came into the possession of Louts Lingg was through his girl, Eda Mueller.

The police guard was doubled and each watch extended three hours. None of the seven anarchists were let out of their cells this morning. Mrs. I'arsons, Mrs. Schwab and Mrs.

Eugel came to see their husbands, but the best they could do was to call out "Good morning" and send up some papers. No packages of any sort were allowed to go in. Nina Van Zandt was there. "Good morning," she called out to Spies. Good morning," he returned, and that was the end of the dialogue bet ween them.

She wrote a note which the jailer read and sent up to Spies.
