Perhaps you think,“you’ll throw no more bombs”; but let me assure you
I die happy on the gallows, so confident am I that the hundreds and
thousands to whom I have spoken will remember my words; and when you
shall have hanged us, then—mark my words—they will do the
bombthrowing! In this hope do I say to you: I despise you. I despise
your order, your laws, your force-propped authority. Hang me for it!"

Years later scholars agree that Linng was not the bomber.
Radicals wanted a 40 hour work week!
This is Linngs closing remarks to the Court. If you goggle "louis
linng speech". You can bring up the entire speech. Quite brillant,
he destroys the State's case. Never the less, Linng was sentenced
to death. The day before the execution his girlfriend smuggled in
a small explosive device. Linng was a 23 yo German immigrant.
