The government executed George Engel, Albert Parsons, August Spies and Adolph Fischer for Conspiracy in that event but admit that they do not know the identity of the bomber himself. There is a long list of possible suspects, all of which are long dead and gone. Eight Police Officers and an unknown number of civilians were killed and someone had to hang. That was simply how Chicago was in 1888.

The causes of the incident are still controversial, although deeply polarized attitudes separating business and working class people in late 19th century Chicago are generally acknowledged as having precipitated the tragedy and its aftermath. The site of the incident was designated as a Chicago Landmark on March 25, 1992.[8] The Haymarket Martyrs' Monument in nearby Forest Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark on February 18, 1997.[2]

What was one effect of events in haymarket square?
The speaches at the Haymarket Square Rally were aggressive and red hot, but broke no laws and the crowd was orderly. They were about to end the rally when the police arrived and ordered everyone to leave. Some one threw a bomb which killed seven policemen and injured more than 60 others. The police opened fire and four workers at the rally were killed. News of the incident caused anti-anarchist and anti-union hysteria in Chicago and in other areas of the nation. People were rounded up and tried for no other reason than they were suspected anarchists or union organizers. Four were hanged as a result of the trial. No proof was presented that they were guilty of the bomb throwing. They were tried because of their beliefs. This would cause many union supporters to fear for their safety and marked a decrease in the number of union workers.
