Mr. BONFIELD: Yes sir.

Q (To Mr. GAUSS) What is that?

Mr. GAUSS: "Down with all laws".

Q Is it the same on the other side?

A. It is the same.

Q (To Mr. Bonfield) What are those? (Pointing)

Mr. BONFIELD: Small black flags.

Q Those are two red flags without any inscription?

Mr. BONFIELD: Yes sir.

Q Was that found at the Arbeiter Zeitung Office?

A. Yes sir.

Q (To Mr. GAUSS) What is that?

Mr. Gauss: That is a German expression. It means: "Boys, hold tightly to it." "Stick together." "Proletarians of all countries unite." "Club together". "International Workingmen's Association Sec. 5, Chicago."

Q Can you read the center?

Mr. GAUSS: "Dedicated by the Socialistic Women Society the 16th of July, 1875, Chicago."

Q (To Mr. Bonfield) Was that found at the Arbeiter Zeitung office?

Mr. BONFIELD: Yes sir. "Dick Oglesby, who murdered three poor workingmen in Lamont is not in this procession. You can see him later."

Mr. GRINNELL: Q. It is the same thing on the other side?

A Yes sir. "Carter Harrison who clubbed our citizens during the car men strike is not in this procession. You can see him later

Q That is the same on the other side?

A. Yes sir.

Mr. Bonfield,

Q How many banners of substantially the same pattern containing the motto that has been read, "All governments are a conspiracy against the people" and "Down with all laws"--- how many such banners were found at the Arbeiter Zeitung office?

A There were similar banners---I should think there was some ten or twelve that I could not read the inscription---it was in German.

Q Were not there a number of them that were inscribed in English?

A There were a number of those inscribed in English, the same as that one, but I cannot identify them as handling them. Those two I can. There are several more with different mottoes in English. Those I can swear positively to handling and marking some of them.

Q What part of the building did you get these banners in?

A I got them in small room off the library. It was a closet-- the same room I found the files of the Arbeiter Zeitung in. It was called a library. One side was a shelf which contained books, and the counters apparently was not in use at the time.

Q These files of the Arbeiter Zeitung that have been introduced here, are they the same you got from that room or from that closet where you found these?

A I think those are the same. I got a great amount that O got Mr. Furthmann to handle. I could read the name of the paper---that is all.

Q You gave those you did find to Mr. FUrthmann?

A Yes, I gave him a book full of them;--- helped him to get

them down. I think I carried the book over.

Mr. GRINNELL: May it please the Court, the State rests.
