on a wagon, making a speech to the people present. When he saw me he called me and asked me to go and find Parsons. Spies said, ‘I want help here, and he must help me out.’ I went to look for Parsons, and I found him. Parsons and Fielden were together. I told them what Spies had said and I asked them to go and help him. They did go—I went along. We got there speedily. I asked Fischer for an explanation as to the publication in our paper of the notice calling the people to arms, but he would give me no satisfaction.” “Why did you not give me this statement first when I asked you for this information?” asked Mr. Grinnell. “Because I was afraid it would hurt myself, or it might convict me. That is the reason why I did not tell you at first. I saw dynamite in the _Arbeiter-Zeitung_ building. I saw dynamite lying on a shelf in the back room from the office. I know George Engel and Fehling. They printed the _Anarchist_. It was a small paper. They only published six numbers.” EDMUND DEUSS was also sought for with some interest. He had been city editor of the _Arbeiter-Zeitung_ under Spies. The first week after the bomb had been thrown the authorities at police headquarters were informed that Paul Grottkau and Deuss, both ex-employés of the _Arbeiter-Zeitung_, were then living in Milwaukee. Mr. Furthmann thought some points might be gathered from them, and accordingly went to that city. He found them both. Grottkau, who has since tasted the bitterness of prison life for his preachments of violence in the “Cream City,” expressed himself as pleased that Spies had been placed under arrest and charged with responsibility for the murder at the Haymarket. “I knew long ago,” said Grottkau, “that August Spies would thus end his crazy and ambitious career.” Grottkau and Spies had not been on very friendly terms since the latter had succeeded in displacing the former from the editorship of the _Arbeiter-Zeitung_. But, however strong his enmity, Grottkau would not give us any information regarding Spies, or dynamite practices, or anything else that would tend to put a rope around Spies’ neck or hurt any of his companions. He referred Mr. Furthmann to Deuss, who was then depending upon Grottkau for a livelihood and who received a dollar now and then for writing a firebrand article for a paper Grottkau was editing in Milwaukee.
