Affiant Thomas J. Morgan states that he knows T. E. Denker, a juror in the case of Illinois v. August Spies et al., and that on May 6, 1886, he heard Denker state that the "whole damn crowd ought to be hung," referring to those arrested in the case. Affiant Thomas S. Morgan, the son of Thomas J. Morgan, who had been with him and T. E. Denker during this conversation, confirmed his father's affidavit.

Affiant Michael Cull, who knows G. W. Adams, a juror in the case of Illinois v. August Spies et al., swears that shortly after the Haymarket bombing, Adams conversed with him and said that "the police ought to have shot them all down and that if I was on the jury I'd hang all the damned buggers."

CAPTAIN BLACK: Touching the matter of the jurors we submit three affidavits.

Thomas J. Morgan, being duly sworn on oath says; that he is a citizen of the United States, and of the State of Illinois, residing at Woodlawn Park, Cook County, Illinois, where he has resided for about four years past, having lived in Illinois since 1869, except two years of residence in the State of Michigan. That he personally well knows T. E. Denker , of Woodlawn park, who was one of the jurors upon the late trial of August Spies, Michael Schwab, Albert R.Parsons, Oscar Neebe, Samuel Fielden, Adolph Fischer Louis Lingg and George Engel, for the murder of Mathias J. Degan. That on the morning of May 6th 1886, on the depot platform at Woodlawn Park aforesaid, affiant was conversing with his son, and referring to an alleged protrait of August Spies, printed in the Chicago Herald, which was printed in connection with the report of the arrest of said Spies, Schwab, Fielden, Fisher and others for alleged responsibility for the Haymarket massacre, so-called, of May 4th. Affiant stated to his said son that said picture did not look any more like said Spies than it did like affiant; whereupon said Denker stated with much feeling and emphasis, in effect as follows: It don't make any difference whether it is like him or

not--- he and the whole damned crowd ought to be hung-- referring to those reported as arrested as above mentioned.

Affiant further states that he is not and never has been an Anarchist.

That said G. W. Adams evinced a good deal of bitter feeling against said defendants.

That his affiant did not in any way inform said defendants or their counsel as to the feeling entortained by G. W. Adams. And further affiant saith not.
