The names of those appointed to act as a bureau of information for the Anarchists were printed in the _Alarm_ under date January 9, 1886. Joseph Bock, B. Rau, August Spies, A. R. Parsons and Anton Hirschberger were the names given. On March 20, 1886, the _Alarm_ said: "All argument is no good unless based on force." On another occasion, speaking of the eight-hour movement, it was said: "All roads lead to Rome; so must all labor movements lead to Socialism." Later the _Alarm_ said: "One pound of dynamite is better than a bushel of ballots. Working men, to arms! Death to luxurious idleness!" All articles from which these extracts were taken had Parsons' name appended as the writer. April 24, the date of the last issue of the _Alarm_, the Knights of Labor were assailed "for attempting to prevent the people from exterminating the predatory beasts--the capitalists." Mr. Ingham reads from Herr Most's book a description of an infernal machine to burn down buildings. This apparatus is described as of wonderful efficiency and dirt cheap. It is read to secure the admission as evidence of the four tin boxes spoken of by Detective Jansen, who saw them exhibited at 54 West Lake street. The Court is not sure the contents in both cases are the same, and Officer Coughlin, of the Chicago avenue station, is put on the stand to prove the character of the compound. He experimented with one can by means of a fulminating cap. He tried to explode the can but failed, then he attached a fuse and an explosion followed. A quantity of burning liquid, much resembling vitriol, was distributed in all directions, a stream was thrown five or six feet high, and for a space of ten feet in all directions the grass was set on fire, and it burned for fully five minutes. Charles B. Prouty is called. He was formerly manager of a gun store on State street. "Have you ever seen any of the defendants before?"--"I have seen Engel and Parsons." "When did you converse with Engel last, before May 4?"--"Some time last fall. Mr. Engel and his wife called at the store and inquired for some big revolvers. They found one that suited them, to present to some society. They said they wanted 100 or 200 for this society. A week later they said this revolver would do and they wanted some 200 revolvers. I told them I thought I could get them, but when they came back the second time I found I couldn't. They were much disappointed and said they would go some place else." "What was the price?"--"I think $5.50. They were either 44 or 45 calibre revolvers." "What did you say about the price?"--"I told them that was very cheap and said they could make a handsome profit on them. They said they didn't want to make any profit; that the weapons were for a society." Captain Black, on the cross-examination, brings it out that the witness sold the gun to Engel, thinking he wanted to go into some speculation.
