They Must Hang

State's Attorney Grinnell to Chicago News. "The anarchists," he exclaimed, pullittg vigorously on tliecigar. "Now, I never like to be interviewd on lawsuits, and most positively declino te talk on the subject. However, I will give you some news on the case. ] have served notice on the counsel foi the defendants that I have asked the court to take up tlie motion for anew tria! and final dittposition of the case on Friday October lst. You see I still clin;; to that lucky Friday. Wli.U will be (lone after that depends on the ruling of Judge Gary. In case a new trial is granted we will go over the whole business again. Should he refuse to rant a new trial the men will stand up and receive their sentence. I understand the counsel for the defense will then appeal to the supreme court for a new trial. The date oi the execution can not be fi.xed prior to a time when the supreme court shall have been in session ten days. "If the supreme court decides to grant the counsel a hearing, a stay oí proceodings will bc ordered, and, after reviewing tho evidence, a new trial will be granted, or, in caseitisrèfused, the sheriff will proceed to carry out his duty." "Do you tliink the condemned anarchists will be hanged?" "Yes I do. I see no reason either in law or as a question of facfc why they should not be. banged." "Do you think that in case they are hanged, they will become martyrs?" 'S'o sir," answered the enetgetic state's at torney,bi'n"ing down hissunbrowned hand on his desk so hard that it made anarray of paper weights dance about as if a mimature earthquakehad just occurred. "There never was a martyr where there was no principie. A robber who might be killed would never become a martyr even if he had died in order that more robbers might live. These men may claim to have a principie, but on their own statements it is one so cruel, so devilish and so antagonistio to the spirit of the best governmont on the face of the earth that it becomes a crime against all mankind. The robber makes it his principie torob, the murderer to kill and the incendiary to buin. None of these conld ever become martyrs. The anarchist is a combination of the whole, and yet some people pretend to say that they will become martyrs. Itis nonsense." "Then you are not afraid that the anarchists will be considered martyrs in case they are hanged?" asked the reporter. "No, sir, most emphatically I am not, because I have confidenco in the intelligence and patriotism of the people of this country."
