Title: The Chicago Prisoners Author: Freedom Press Date: September 1, 1887 Language: en Topics: Freedom Press, Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism, Haymarket, Chicago, letter Source: Freedom: A Journal of Anarchist Socialism, Vol. 1 -- No. 12, retrieved on August 29, 2019, from http://www.revoltlib.com/?id=2972. Notes: Freedom Press, London
An American correspondent writes: "I have but recently returned from
Chicago, where I left our comrades in good health; though confinement is
telling somewhat upon them, they none exhibit any signs of weakness. The
outlook for them is somewhat gloomy, I am afraid. We confidently
expected a decision from the State Supreme Court ere this, and the delay
is ominous. The September term will, however, settle the question, and
whichever way it goes, Anarchy will reap the benefit."
Another remarks: "What a giant mushroom-growth is the class privilege of
this republic, when it costs the subjects of malicious aspersion 20,000
dollars to get a chance of a trial between them and the gallows, while a
present of 100.000 dollars to a packed jury for their verdict against
them is published with effrontery!"
Our American friends are asking for help in meeting the heavy expense of
the appeal to the Supreme Court of Illinois against the infamous death
sentence passed upon our comrades for their opinions. We shall be very
happy to forward any subscriptions which may be sent us for this
purpose.
