"A spirit," he began, "is said tq have appeared to everyone buried in that grave and to warn the family when ever anv of them is about to pass away. "Its appearance which is made in the following manner, is believed to be uni formly fatal, being an omen of death to those who are so unhappy as to meet with it. "When a funeral takes place the spirit is said to watch the person who remains last in the graveyard, over vl.rvn it possesses' a fascinating iu fluence. ne person be a young man the vpirit takes the shape of a fascinating female, inspires him with a charmed passion, and exacts a promise that he will meet her at the grave ard a month from that day.

He sinks into dtppair ard insanity mid dies. If, on the con'rory, tho specuv appears to a female, it assumes the form of a young man of exceeding ele gance and beauty." The padro showed mo the gravo of a young person about 18 years of. age, who was said four months before to have fallen a victim to it. 'Ten months ago," tho father said, "a man gave the promise and tho fatal kiss, and conse quently looked upon himself as lost. He took a fever and died, and was buried on the day appointed for th meeting, which was exactly a month after the fatal interview. "Incredible as it may appear, thf friends oi these two persons solemnly dtclared to mo that the particulars ot the interview were repeatedly detaileu by the two persons without the slight est variation. "There are several cases of tho same kind mentioned, but the two cases alluded tp are tho only ones that caiuo within my personal knowledge.

The crucial ropy or the governor's decision on the application for executive clemency was brought to Chicago by hi ion, and reached the therliT shortly niter v. At 10 o'clock, after all the condemned men had been Riven a drink of brandy, Fischer relieved the mental tension of hlnuelf and his associates by singing the Marseillaise bytnn. The otbert joined him, but their voice, thougn icuu, sometimes quavered perceptibly.

At Hilo luncheon wat served to the con demned men and at 11:30 the reading of the dentil warrants tegan, the sheriff taking 8tles first. Meanwhile, In the space In front of the callows where the spectators were gathered, the noise ot moving chairs and tables and the hum ot conversation went oa for some lime, but gradually died away and was suc ceeded by an almost painful stillness.

Ihe chief bailiff began ot 11:10 calling out therjamcaof tho nersons summoned ta juroi s, and bringing them forward to tho row of little stools directly In front of the gallons. No other sounds n era heard in the long, high corridor but the solemn, monotonous voice of the bailiff and the rustling of the jurors as they tiptoed fbrward through the crowd, By1 the United rress.1 Cook CootiTY Jail, Cihoaoo, Nor. 1L The hands of the clock in the tall tower in the Board ot Trade wero pointing to 5 when the vehicles containing tho representatives of the United1 Press rolled over the Clark street bridge and entered tho north division or the city. iiwa a clear, cold morn ing. The damp, penetrating atmo sphere of midnight had disappeared and the stars twinkled brightly. Very few people were upon the streets, and those whose business had called, them out at so early an hour moved quickly as the keen eyes of the solitary offi cers who were stationed at the intersections of tha cross streets were fastened upon them. As the vehicle crossed the bridge "the hoarse sound of tho police gongs were heard close behind, and a moment , later two patrol wagons, filled with police officers armed with rifles, dashed br. When the corner of Clark and Illinois streets, half a block from the jail,, bad been reached the carriage was brought to a suddon halt, and a stentorian voice that of a captain of detachment of firmed police that stretched across the streot com manded the newspaper men ito dis mount The command was quickly obeyed. The nermit issued by the sheriff was called for and rigidly scrutinized while another of the officers, looked suspiciously at the box relay which the United Press tele graph operator carried under his arm, as well as at the coll of wire that lung put of bis Docket The use and possession 'Of theso .materials were satisfactorily 'explained, the cassrjorta were Dronounced in proper lorra and the bearers were 'permitted to pass the cordon. Close behind them followed an officer. When the steps that lead to thi jail had been reached another cordon1 of police had blocked the way. Credentials were called for and examined a second time and the strangers were ordered' to pass in. Two raps were given upon the outer door, and as it revolved upon ita hinges the butt end of a musket fell on 'the floor with a suggestive rattle. A quick trot across the spacious corridor, down the1 steps, across the court yard, up more, steps, a whispered confab with the jauer, whoso lace .was pressed do tween the heavy Iron bars ot the Inner door, a clanking of keys, 'and the 'representatives of the United Press were within few feet of the men who. were so soon to die. Inside the corridor Were Tanged the cells where the condemned men were sleeping their last sleep. All was as stiUias death. The death watch in slippered feet morod slowly up and down, stopping ever and anon to peer through the, four barred doors and see that all was 'right It was a welcome relief to the oppressive stillness when the telegraph Instrument, which was located in the lawyer's cage within a dozen feet of the cell in which Parsons was con fined, began its "click," "click," "click." Outside in the jail office, where the jailers, bailiffs and turn keys, who bad been sitting up through the night, were watching for the break of tho event ful day, the air was hot and foul. PARSONS. Everybody moved on tiptoe and spoke in whispers, as though the slightest noise might penetrate the thick -walls and arouse the sleepers. Sheriff Matson arrived at 6 o'clock. There was a look ot intense anxiety upon bis face, and it was plain to be seen that he fully realized the terrible responst billty which in a few hours would fall to his lot He made bis way through the crowded room to the inner corridor, joined the death watch and paced up and down with him for several minutes. Satisfied that all was veil be retired again and closeted himself with Jailer Folz in the private office of the latter, A moment later Fischer awoke with a start He yawned, rubbed his eyes, looked up at the daylight that was now creeping in through the skylights, sprang lightly from bis cot and commenced to dress. There was a sullen look upon bis face and be only grunted when the death watch wished bim a cheery good morning. Almost at the same moment Engel and Spies awoke. Engel at once arose from bis bunk; Spies, however, stretched bis arms and lay still a moment, as if thinking. Parsons sat up upon the edge or bis cot and gazed at the opposite wall of bis cell Thep he sighed in a sad and weary way and slowly arose. Fischer expressed a desire to wash himself, and, guarded by six turnkeys, be was taken to the faucet at the farther end of tho cage. where for months the condemned men have held daily levees with their friends and relatives. As be emerged from the cell he stood still for a moment and looked in a strange. Inquiring way at the telegraph Instrument, which at that mo ment was sending his every movement throughout tho country. When he had reached the stationary washstand he turned the faucet with a sharp jerk, plunged bis bands into the water,' and besprinkled bis face and neck. Then he rubbed himself briskly with a towel, surveyed himself in the glots, and indicated with a nod to his keepers that he was ready to retprn. As the key turned upon bim the door of Spit' cell was thrown oiwn and he stepped out Spies' face was ale us death, but there was a look of bravado upon his countenance, and as be stool there, with his head planted firmly upon his tbouhlei and his eyes looking straight into those of the tall man before him, it was evident that be was making a strong and determined effort to bear himself bravely to the end. He wished the guards good morning in tin easy manner, and then. following Fischn's example, walked over to I the other end tt the corridor and washed himself, Allot he finished bi ablutions and Lod Uea """J" I"c.k'a UP "UJ rnr: I sons were Iroi'ut out in turn and given an opportunity to cleanse themselves, They manifested a Dimness oC demeanor, but said nothing in response to the questions ot the keepers regarding bow they felt Parsons, bowever, aspect for a hair brush, cud one was f jmlsbed bim from, the matron's quarters.

Dr. I Gray, the physician ot the Jail, arrived at 7:30 and visited each of the men. A few mlnutos later llev. H. W. Bolton, pastor of the , First Methodist church, arrived at the courtyard door and asked to be permitted to talk With the condemned. He had beon with them unto 11 o'clock last night, but bad encountered cool treatment from nil but Engel, Who remained passive and allowed the man of God to talk freely. Whether or not the effort to direct his min i to things spiritual was successful Is an opon question, for with the exception ot a "Good night" when the minister left htm he did not open his mouth, although be listened thoughtfully. 'Certainly, come in." was Sheriffs Watson s response to the request, and the minister, at bis own desire, was conducted to the cell oc cupied by Parsons, with whom ho com menced to talk. Meanwhile Spies bad called for paper, pen and ink, and was soon bu'lly engaged in writing. At '8:18 Mr. Bolton. having passed just eighteen mlnutei wun Parsons, left the cell. The Anarchist fol lowed him to the door, and then pulling It to stood with bis hands behind him, appar ently straining his eyes to determine the personnel of the crowd In the jailer's omce across the corridor. The preacher moved along the corridor and stopped at the cell where Spies was writing. The Anarchist looked up quickly, but without a word or n look of recognition he returned his eyes to the paper before bim and his pen to its work. After standing at the door for n few min utes' in the vain hope that Bples, after all, would consent to admit him, Mr. Bolton went to the next cell, which was occupied by En gel, Here he was readily admitted. Death Watch Osborne, who had become so much attached to the prisoners, come in at 8:80 and greeted all four in turn. Then be went up to the first tltr of cells and talked with Fielden and Schwab. At 8:10 the sheriff directed one of Ihe turnkeys tonsk the men whether they wanted any stimu lants. This was done, but all declined ex cept Engel, who oxproased a desire for port wine. A bottle was procured, and ho emp tied three- large rum glasses filled to the srim. Spies ceased his writing long enough to light a cigar, crossed his legs, and then resumed his work. He sat In an attitude of extreme ease. There was a self satisflod look upon bis face ss his pen flew over the pages, and as he blew the smoke of his cigar into wreaths he looked more like a contented and happy business man in his office than a criminal whose sands of life were nearly run out At 8:55 Spies quit writing, and, calling to the death watch, asked for a couple of envelopes, iney were furnished him; with great deliberation he folded the paper upon which he had beon writing, and placed three pages in one en velope and two In another. Theso ho sealed and directed, and then resuming his easy position and his cignr he gazed contempla tively through the bars up at the skylight Meanwhile Mr. Boltpn hnd taken his leave of Engel and was conducted to the cell upon the upper tier occupied by Schwab, who welccmea him cordially. At 8:45 letters came to the men. Parsons received ono from New York. There was one for Spies from New York; one dlrictcd to "Bro thels Llngg ami Spies and Parson, Knineraden," and rtlicrs to Citizen Knel. One re ceived from Mat loon, Ills., was ad dressed to con de mued Anarchists and was given to Spies. With eager bands Ihe men tore npe'i the envelopes KNOKL. and rend the communications inclosed. There was n momentiry cloud upon Spies' free as he threw oue of the letters he had re ceived upon the table. He sat another moment in deep thought and then requested the death watch to send for the sheriff. Mr. Matson responded with alacrity, and after a brief whispered conversation the ex. editor banded over tho two letters and the sheriff placed them in an inner pocket of bis coat. Spies also expressed a desire for a draught of Rhine wine and a messenger was dispatched across the street with instruc tions to procure a quart of the best quality. Returning to bis table, Spies again com. menced to write, wbjle Parsons, Engel and Fischer sat with a gloomy expression look ing out into the corridor. Word was brought in that Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Holmes and two children of Mrs. Engel, Mary Engel and Edna Mueller had come to the Illinois street guard and were refused admittance. They then went to the Clark street cordon of police, but not having passes, were not per mitted to pass.- Word also came that they indulged in some vehement yet tearful talk about the execution of innocent men. At Vila two new suits or clothes were brought in for Spies and Engel and taken to their cells. Tbey were run suits or plain black clothes. As tbey were taken in Schwab appeared on the gellery overhead and peered down Into tneir ceils. At 0:20 Sheriff Matson arranged the fol lowing guards around the scaffold, with Deputy Cahlll in chargei Frake, Halke, Bears, Uross, Moran, Hamilton, Foley, Scantan, Mcuariney, uroinerd, jiealy, (Jar- olan, Frelse, Lynch, Dooley, Welbridge, Wall, Kerns and Price. At 0:30 Dr. Gray arrived. He tarrird at the jailer's office a moment and then went to Spies' cell. The sun was now In a position where it streamed in through the skylight, and Parsons. Fischer and Engel were bathed In Its rays. At 0:85 Dr. Gray visited each cell and administered medical stimulants to the inmates. Word was brought into the jail that Mrs. Parsons, with ber two children and Mrs. Holmes, presented themselves at the Dearborn avenue entrance and demanded to see ber husband. Bbo was refused admit tance, and, declining to go away, the four were placed In a patrol wagon and taken to the Chicago avenue station. Spies drank the stimulant banded bim by the doctor almost greedily, while tha others accepted tho glasses without demur and drained them to the bottom, tben (:4U o'clock) Fischer, Engel and rarsons commenced to pace up and down their cells, while Spies leaned against the wall away ricr In bu cage, only tL edge of his cardigan jacket lielng v.sil)I from the ollloa of the lull, While Dr. Gray was with the men he wai joined by Dr. Moyer. who spoke words ol courage to each. When Sheriff Matson came out he stated that all the condemned hud written letters to the members of their families and other friends which bad bee: Intrusted to him for personal delivery. At iu o'clock Deputy Sheriir Uleason hurriedly entered the illlce with a letter, which h passed to Spies. The superscription was in itmlnine hand, tie read It without movement of his facial muscles. All thli time none but representatives At the press had been admitted to the jail office. Thi tickets ot admission notified the holders to present themselves at the Illinois street entrance at' 10 o'clock, but, In order that the reporters and there were near' a hundred of them should not be crowded, t was decided to keep the holders of the general tickets in the jail yard until the moment for the execution arrived, This arrangement was au ndmlrnblo one for the newspapers, who at previous executions iu tills building have been compelled to per form Ibeir duties under great difficulties. It was not relished, however, by the other Visitors, who stood and shivered In tha cold air and stamped their feet to feep the blood in circulation. At 10 o'clock two telegraph dispatches were taken to Parsons, Just as the ills- patches bad been taken In the sound ot sing ing in a guttural voice broke ,upon the ears of those gathered In the office. In an instant all was us still as death. The voice was that of' Fischer, and he was, standing at bis cell door singing the ''Marseillaise" with all the strength of bis powerful lungs. There was a smile upon his face, not one of cynicism, but a hearty. open faced smile, as that Of a man who was entering heart and soul into the sentiment of the words he was singing, He sang two stanzas ot Itouget de 1,'Isle's famous song ot the French revolution, and then subside! None Of bis' comrades joined in the chorus, although the facut ot J arsons and Spii brightened up and they listemd Intently until the notes bad died away, tsebwab, who many a time In days gone by had joined in the chorus at the meetings ol the Interna. tlonal association, was considerably exer cised by the episode, and paoed up and down bis cell with energy, Fischer was talking with his death watch. He said hist night he dreamed of Germany uud his happy child noon's noma. Just tben a loud noise was beard. It was a deputy testing the scaffold with sand bags. Engel came to the door of bis cell. He knew what the sound meant, and winked at his death watch. Rev, Dr. Bolton (10:15) again visited one after another of the cells. but from none of the condemned men did he receive a word of encouragement Deputy Sheriff Gleason called Capt Uonfleld aside and asked bim anxiously about Tha crowds on the outside and the probability of trouble. Th captain replied that all was qulst and that th polio wart fully abl to cop with any disturbance, ito folhTea to the roof at tho jail, which was literally studded with cillcera armed with repeating rifles. "When I get to heaven I'll put In a good word for Bill Btoble" (one of the guards), sold Fischer to his death watch. Btoble has been very kind to the condemned men. At 10:23 Fischer talked gayly with bis guard. Epios bad lit another cigar and also talked to his keeper. He exhibited signs of nervous. ness. He received n letter, and Parson a telegram. Engel walkod up and down his cell. He was offered some stimulant but re fused it At 10:50 County Physician Moyer took his leave of the men, to whose health he has been dally ministering for the past seventeen months. All of them shook hands, but not one ot them displayed the slightest emotion. From lOiDO to 11 Spies occupied himself In rending a paper. The other paced up and down their cells, stopping at every turn to look out through the bars like caged ani mals. The narrow corridor upon which the cells of the quartette look was filled with deputies. The scaffold. was not painted, and was brown wltb ego and usago. There was a space of about two feet be tween each of the ropes and the four nooses hung on a dead level. The rope was light, but ot substantial make. At 11:10 the jury filed In and took their places in the double row of chairs which bad been reserved in front ot the press tables. The spectators, of whom there are less than SW), were nJmltted to the roar. Altogether the corridor was not half filled. The cells on the first floor as well as those on the two upper tiers were emptied of their occupants. The gathering was quiet and de corous. Hats were removed and cigars thrown away. There was none of the crowd ing, pushing, smoking, swearing mob that disgraced the execution of the Italians two years ago. The names of the jurors were called, and each rose to respond. Then there was quiet deep, awful quiet It was as though every man had ctnseu breathing; as It the earth stood still; as if the blood was congealing In the veins of the anxious spectators. The stillness was broken by a wail a weird, grewsome sound It was only tho pet jail cat, but It poles the cheek ot many a man who at another time woulo make the event a source of hilarity. Tho nnimo), which had been secured in an djolning cage, is taken out, and again tha stillness of suspense. Through the high barred frames of glass directly back, ot tho scaffold a score of armed men were visible. They were os motionless as statues, their guns at their shoulders, and the muzzles bearing directly on the gallows window. The moments parsed on. A report gained currency that the sheriff was holding off until the last moment in expectation that something would be lird from Springfield. Suddenly the face of Deputy Gleason was seen at the entrance of the corridor leading to the scnllold. Ills race was white; he was trembling In every limb. He raised his hand. The moment had arrived. The shuffling of feet is heard in the corridor. It was 11 :4U to the minute. Shells Matson appeared, his back to the gathering; be was facing the procession. Spies came Into view, broad shouldered bailiff was on bis right; next came Fischer, then Engel. All tin re stepped from the second tier of cells to the scaffold; tho spectators drew a lone breath, "rarsons Is saved r was tho word that goes around, but It was not to le. A second later and Parsons appeared. The four men were placed upon the trap. All were ghastly pale, tspies' nair seemed to literally stand upon end. Eugel's shoulders seemed nearly to touch the top of his head. Parsons set bis teeth firmly together and looked down calmly upon the crowd beneath. His face was the face of a man of iron. A murmur of admiration for his unflinching nerve goes tbrougn the spectators. Engel turned around and said something Inaudible to thedeputy. It was evidently of a jocular character, ror the condemned man laughed heartily. Fischer looked at him a moment, and then he, too, put in a remark. Spies and Parsons, at either end of the scaf fold, maintained a stolid and dignified de meanor, but thero was a look of unutterable woe on the face or the ex-editor, wbich pierced the hearts of those surrcundbig the scaffold, ine shrouds bad already been ail- justed before the men left their ceils. Nothing remained but to encircle each neck with tlv noose, and to cover each 'head with. the can. Jailer Folz approached Spies. A quio movement, so quick that It could hardly be noticed, and tbe rone was around bis necK and being drawn taut There is n3t a moveV ment of a muscle. The same stolid look, th same woe begone look from the eyes. Foil moved a step, and In a moment the throat of Fischer was encircled by tho noose. Ho moved his head up and down as if it hurt him. Engel did not movo as the operatiob was being performed. Parsons riveted his gaze on tha ground and bis features were contracted. Au four were evident ly determined to die game, A deputy approached Spies with tbe cap in his hands. Tbe condemned man said something iu an undertone. He was evidently remon strating. The deputy wavered for a mo ment Spies spoke still more earnestly. The deputy loots at tho sheriff; the latter closed his eyes. It is enough. The cap was quickly drawn over tbe face ot the Anarchist leader. It has lieen seen for the last time In Ufa. Tbe head ot Engel was next covered, then V ischer, rarsons last Fischer's bead moved up and down In tbe direction of the theritl, who, with bis hands upon the iron railing of the gallery, was ready to give tbe signal. It was as though the Anarchist, as well as be could in his muslin covered head, was I eckoning the sheriff to approach him. That (fflcial, however, did not respond. There was a moment ot deathlike stillness. Tben clear and distinct came tho voice of Bpii His form straightens up. Tbe muslin ioems to move in harmony with his Hps. "Our silence is more powerful than speech." That was all, but there Was a ring to It that echoes for away down tbe corridor. Silence again for a second. Tben in a round. full voice a shout "Hurruh for anarchy 1" comes from Engel. Another pause, broken this time by the voice of Fischer. "This is the happiest moment of my life I" He has hail bis say. Then the clear, well modulated voico of Parsons broko the oppressive still ness. There was not that enthusiastic ring In it which inaikcd tho utterances of tbe others. It is not the voice of a judge deliv ering a decision. A scarcely definable pause betwien each word; "Shall be allowed to speak, O men nd women of dear America r1 The iLeriff shitted bis position a little. He was several feet away from the speaker, but tbe speaker must have seen tbe movement through the folds of the cap. There was rising inflection in his voice, not so much ot pleading as of demand. "Let mo speak of Sheriff Miitson," Is whnt he says, "Let the voico of the people be heard' Down nent the drop. The last words of Parsons bad died ujwn his lips. Four bodies swung in empty air, and the Haymarket massacre was avenged. OA1T, IILACK'S INTKUC1CSSION. lie Telegraphs Sheriff Slutson That th Mandate Is Illegal. Chicago, Nov. 11.
