Steel Workers Fay They Stayed iltd When the Whistle Illew. A TEEDICT WILL BE RENDERED TO-DAY Coroner McDowell yesterday afternoon continued hit inquest into the death of the ten men who were killed at Homestead or died as the result of wounds received there. He hopes to conclude the inquiry this after noon, when the jury will render a verdict The inquest yesterday was again attended by Attorney Cox, but outside of the wit nesses there were no other auditors. Phy sicians, steel workers and Homestead resi dents were examined, and little new lijlit was thrown on the tragedy of July G. All the Bteel workers put on the stand swore that they did not respond to the call of the team whistle in the morning and took no part in the effort to repulse the Pinkerton men. Only one man was found who con Jessed that he was at the river shore when the biirges were tied up, and he had mot worked in the mill for a year. Dr. A. JL Barton said that on the after noon ol July 6 he saw Thomas "Weldon at the home of a neighbor, and remained with him until he died, between 5 and C o'clock. "Weldon was shot in the abdomen and died of internal hemorrhage. Dr. A. P. Fogelman attended Stregel, Bitter and Peter Ferris, all of whom died. Stregel was carried into the doctor's yard about 8 o'clock in the morning and died there. He was shot through the neck, and the bullet fell out of the back of his neck when the doctor lifted his head. The ragced bullet of 44 caliber was shown. Dr. John Osborn attended three or four wounded men, but none of the men who died. Dr. John Purman also attended four wounded men, three of whom were Hun garians. He said that during the forenoon he saw many people on the streets with guns, but he was not near the milL The Doctor Was Somewhat Afraid. Dr. AY. A. McCaslin said he was called to the mill during the forenoon to see Silas "Wain. As he approached the mill he was met by a crowd of men running toward Homestead, who cried that the Pinkertons had broken loose and were coming. The doctor heard shooting and he retreated. He afterward saw Wain dead in an undertaking shop. J. H. Gillen, an undertaker, testiBedthat he cared for the bodies of Morris, AVain and "Weldon.' Joseph Mort, of Homestead, said he knew nothing about the fight at the mill and was not near the place until late in the dav. D. K. Calhoun, a farmer living at How ard station, below Homestead, said that he heard a boat going up the river between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning and looked out of the window at it. As he did so he heard eight or ten gunshots a short dis tance up the river. A few minutes after that the whistle commenced blowing at Homestead. Similar testimony was given by James Bacon, who lives near the river about half way between Homestead and Howard station. G. W. Crouch, a steel worker at Home ltead, raid that since the lockout he had moved to "Wilmerding. The nearest he was to the fight on July 6 was at Munhall sta tion, where he took a train to "Wilmerding. At that time. 9 A. 31., he heard firing at the river, but did not see any of it Harry Barnes, a McKeesport painter, knew nothing about the affair. Boy McCombs, a Homestead blacksmith, said he went up to the millvard about 8:30 A. M., but did not go to the river where the barges were. He saw two men carrving shotguns, but did not know them. "When the Little Bill came back down the river he ran away with the crowd along the Pemickey track. Steel Workers Stayed In Bed. Dennis Murphy, a steel worker, said that when he heard "the whistle blow before daylight be did not leave bis house. About 9 o'clock, after eating breakfast, he went down town, and then returned home and went back to bed. He did not go near the mill until 7 o'clock in the evening, after the Pinkertons had surrendered. Benjamin P. Boss, a steel worker, said he lived close to the mill on City Farm lane. "When he heard the whistle blow he got up and looked out of the window. He saw a few people running toward the river, but he went back to bed. He arose again about 6 o'clockt ate breakfast and then took a walk along Eighth avenue. He saw lour men earning Bitter on a stretcher. At the Pemickey station he saw a large crowd, and some whom he did not know were carry ing firearms. He went into the millyard in the afternoon and was present when the Pinkertons surrendered. He said: "When they came off the barges 1 saw a few get flanped a little alongside of the head, but nothing to amount to anything. There were a dozen or more trying to keep the crowd back and forming a line so the men could march through." John Edward, a steel worker, said that when he heard the whistle blow he did not leave his bed. He knew the whistle was a signal for the men to get together, that something was wrong. He left his house about 9 o'clock and went to the plate mill, where he remained about an hour. He was not near the river and could not see the. barges. He saw men with guns, but could not sav who they were. Isaac Bryan, a colored contractor of Homestead, said that he parsed throueh the millyard and over the river on a Pemickey train to Braddock about 9:30 A. M. He saw the barges and men in the yards, but there tias no firing at that time. n Man A ho Saw the Flclit. Elmer 11 Biel, of Homestead, said he had worked in the steel mill until July, 1K9L He was asked to tell what he knew of the fight at the river bank, and he said: "I heard the whistle blow about 4 o'clock in the morning and I ran to the river. I went np along the shore with about 800 other people. When I got to the river some of the people there were shooting off piktoK but apparently firing into the air. "I went with the crowd through curiosity. We could see the boat going up the mer a little ahead of us. When we came to the company's fence the crowd halted. Some of them said, 'bust down the fence.' I hollowed not to break the fence down but to run around the outside. The fence ran out into the river only 8 or 10 feet and the water was shallow there. Some few of the men waded around the end of the fence, and I did m self. Just as I stepped out of the w ater the fence was broken in three places; three boards were broken. oft I heard somebody say, 'stop that shooting.' . I didn't hear a shot bred on the shore from that time until I got up to the mill. "When I pot to the mill the boats had Just landed. They were tied up. I saw about 20 men standing out in front with rifles, dressed in blue clothes and with some sort of badges on. X heard one man on the boat say thev were coming out and coming t IS t T - J! t-t-!J 4u jj juiuuica. x was stauuiug uemnu a little pump house of sheet iron. I heard somebody on the Bhore hollow, 'Don't come out here, you .' Just after that I heard a shot fired from the boats. I didn't see a rifle or shotgun on the shore, and didn't see any revolvers up to that time. When that snot was fired everybody on shore that had revolvers pulled them out and shot Then the Pinkertons com nenced shooting irogi both ends of the barge. Had Enough for a Little "While. "I was pretty badly scared. I ran np over the bank and got.to Homestead u quickly as I Could. I got my breakfast, and1 then about 7 o'clock went up on the Pe mickey bridge and sat there. I saw shoot ing from thenv until 9 o'clock continually, from the shore and the boats, and then it got so hot I thought it was better to get off the bridge. I went to the CItv Farm ferry landing and stayed there until 11 or 11:30, went home, got my dinner, crossed the river and sat on an old coke tip ple on the other side of the rher until the surrender. Then I came back across the river and went up to the boats. I heard an order given to take the men to the rink and see that they were not harmed. I went with one man to the skating rink and the man was never touched." I saw other men hit with clubs, stones and fists. I don't know who the people were doing the hitting. The majority .of themwere women. After I got my man to the rink I shook hands with him and went home." Byron Leonard, of Hazelwood, was called, but knew nothing about the matter nnder consideration. The Coroner then adjourned the inquest until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Diarrhoea In Kentucky. "There has been a continued tendeney to bowel disease here this season," says Q. W.
