The Amnesty Association.

Illinois Staats-Zeitung, July 12, 1893

p. 6.. The Executive Committee of the Amnesty Association of Illinois held its meeting yesterday, at 225 Dearborn Street, to make the necessary arrangements for its dissolution which has been scheduled for next Thursday, at the behest of the members. On this day also, steps will be taken to publish a pamphlet, giving the story of Altgeld's executive clemency for the anarchists and the society's participation in securing their liberation.

The booklet will be printed in English and German. The proceeds from the sale of about 50,000 copies will accrue to the families of the liberated men. (Explanation: Neebe, Schwab and Fielden. Translator.)
