dc.description.abstract |
On May 4, 1886 a group of anarchists organized a meeting
at Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois to protest police
shootings of strikers the day before. As Samuel Fielden was
concluding his speech, Chicago Police Officers arrived and
ordered the anarchists to end the meeting. As Fielden
stepped down from the speakers stand a bomb was hurled into
the ranks of officers and a riot ensued in which several
police officers and civilians were killed. Although the
bomb thrower was never identified, eight anarchists were put
on trial and found guilty of the murder of Chicago Police
Officer Mathias J. Degan.
Given their political views it would have been difficult
for them to receive a fair trial anywhere in the United
States. The media convicted them in print long before the
trial began and inflamed the passions and prejudices of the
public. Even the American court system was conservative and
reflected the views of the press and public. Yet, Judge
Joseph E. Gary was especially prejudicial throughout the
trial. This study has investigated the objectivity in the
trial of the eight anarchists with and emphasis on the role
of trial Judge Joseph E. Gary. The question, "What rulings
did Judge Joseph E. Gary make during the trial that
contributed to the guilty verdicts and harsh sentences passed
upon the eight anarchists?", has been answered. |
