"Did you hear the speeches at the Haymarket?"--"Oh, yes; distinctly." "What did Spies say?"--"He spoke about Jay Gould, and some one said: 'Hang him,' and Spies said: 'No, it is not time for that.'" "What did Parsons say?"--"He spoke of the necessity for union. The substance of his remarks was that if the working men expected to win they must unite." "Did you notice the approach of the police?"--"I did; the first column came up close to where I was standing. They were so close I could touch them." "Did you hear Fielden?"--"Yes." "What did he say?"--"Well, he spoke about the law, and said: 'It is your enemy. Kill it, stab it, throttle it; if you don't, it will throttle you.'" "Did you hear the command given to disperse?"--"Yes, sir." "What did Fielden say?"--"He said: 'We are peaceable,' or 'This is a peaceable meeting.'" "Did you see Fielden again?"--"I did. He got down out of the wagon and came around where I was standing." "Did you see him with a revolver?"--"I did not." "Did you see him shoot at all?"--"Never. I did not." "Did you see the bomb?"--"I did." "Where did it come from?"--"About twenty feet, or perhaps forty, south of the alley, behind some boxes on the sidewalk." "Now, tell what you saw."--"Well, the bomb looked to me like a boy's firecracker. It was then about five feet in the air. It circled in a southeast direction, and fell, I think, between the first and second columns of the police." "When did the shooting commence?"--"Almost simultaneously." "Did the firing proceed from the crowd, or the police?"--"It came from the street, near where the police were." "Did you see or hear of any pistol shots from the crowd?"--"Not one." "You say you went to the Haymarket the next morning. Did you make any examination of the neighborhood?"--"I did." "Did you find any marks of bullets in the walls around there?"--"Yes, a great many. They were in the north end of the wall of Crane Bros.' building. Then I examined a telegraph pole north of the alley, on the west side of the street. There were a great many perforations on the south side of this pole." "Were there any perforations on the north side of the pole?"--"Not one." "Did you visit the place a second time?"--"I did." "For the purpose of examining this telegraph pole?"--"Yes, sir." "Tell the jury whether you found the pole there or not."--"It was not there." "How long ago was that?"--"A week." "And the pole was gone?"--"It was gone." "What course did you take, doctor, in going out of the alley?"--"I took a zig-zag course." "Doctor, are you a Socialist?"--"Yes, sir." "Are you an Anarchist?"--"Not in the sense in which the term is usually employed." "How long have you been a Socialist?"--"About fifty years. I was taught Socialism by Robert Owen, father of Robert Dale Owen." "Do you know any of the defendants?"--"Yes. I know Parsons and Fielden well; Spies and Neebe slightly."
