It began with a strike on May 1 in pursuit of an eight-hour workday by local labor unions, along with several non-union social radicals. While the police were breaking up a rally in Haymarket Square on May 4, a bomb explosion killed eight officers. Although the bomber was never identified, eight prominent union leaders and radicals were tried on dubious charges. Seven received the death penalty, one was given fifteen years in prison. The court held that the "inflammatory speeches and publications" of these eight incited the actions of the mob. The verdict was upheld by the Illinois and U.S. Supreme Courts. In 1887 four of these men were hanged, including Spies. Another escaped the noose through suicide. The sentences of two others were eventually commuted from death to imprisonment for life, and in 1893 Governor John P. Altgeld pardoned the three remaining prisoners. Worldwide appeals for clemency for the condemned Haymarket rioters led to the establishment of May 1st as an International Workers Day, or May Day. Though it is a h. Seller Inventory # 84761

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the individual cases of eight men found guilty of murder in connection with the infamous Haymarket bombing of 1886 in Chicago. The case made headlines as the first involving conspiracy charges in the United States. It also quickly became a flashpoint in the debate over labor rights and the growing tension between industrialists and the working class. Through an examination of the evidence presented during the trial, the author meticulously reconstructs the events leading up to the deadly explosion. He carefully analyzes the state's case and concludes that the prosecution's evidence was weak and in many cases fabricated. The book delves into the broader historical context of labor movements during the Industrial Revolution, providing insights into the motivations of the defendants. The author also explores the role of the media in shaping public opinion against the accused. This book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, shedding light on the flaws within the justice system and the social and economic factors that contributed to the tragedy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332945986_0
