EVIDENCE AXD THE CILAEGE IGNORED
Since the acquittal of Critchlow, or
rather, after Mr. Erwin made his great
speech, the "Western lawyer and his col
league, Edwin Argo, have been the recip
ients of a good deal of attention. Their
callers at the Monongahela House have
been numerous, and letters and telegrams
of congratulation have poured in on them
from all parts of the country. A few are
from friends, but the bulk of them came
from strangers. Business men and some
capitalists join with the army of workmen
and the labor organizations in expressing
their satisfaction over the result. At times
the rooms of the "Western cyclones were
jammed with people who called to shake
hands and congratulate both for their fine
work in the case.
"While the lawyers were receiving their
share of the thanks the officials of the
Amalgamated Association have been over
whelmed with congratulatory telegrams.
Many of them were sent by people who are
unknown to the organization, but they tell
the same story. All consider the acquittal
is a telling victory for organized labor and
thev are overjoyed with the outcome. The
officials of the association are greatly
pleased and surprised at the lively interest
laken by the people of the country in the
trial. The nation was silent while the case
was in court and patiently waited for the
verdict.
How Amalgamated Officials Reason.
The Amalgamated officials reason from
the numerous telegrams received that the
masses are satisfied. Thisview is also ac
cepted by the lawyers for the defense.
Last night Attorney Argo returned to
Sioux City. He doesn t expect to come
back. He said during the afternoon at the
Monongahela House that he was given to
understand that all the Homestead cases on
the calendar would be dropped and both
sides would cry, "Hold, enough." He was
not positive that this would be done, but
his colleague, Mr. Erwin, will start for
home this morning, and he will know for a
certainty what conclusion is reached. Mr.
Argo was called "West by urgent business
that had been neglected, but he felt confi
dent that he would not come back to assist
in the trial of any more Homesteaders.
"If the cases should come up," he con
tinued, "Mr. Erwin and myself will be here
to lend our aid. And I want to say that
the indictments against people on the
other side will be pushed with vigor. I
think we would give Mr. Prick the worst
wrestling match he ever had. We are not
receiving a cent of pay. We did not come
here for glory or money, but becuse we felt
it was our duty. "We are willing to stay
fclx months if it is necessary. Only Our ex
penses are paid by the labor organizations
of the Northwest, and it was at their re
quest that we came.
"But can indictments for murder
be
dropped without trial?" was asked.
Rests With the District Attorney.
"Yes. It rests entirely with the District
Attorney. If he is satisfied that convic
tions are impossible it would be a waste of
time. The District Attorney is the judge
before the trial Mr. Burleigh hasn't said
a word on the subject He hasn't even
hinted at it, but several people have been
to Eee us with certain uropositions looking
to this end, and we have every reason to be
lieve that they represent the other side. I
think the welfare of this community de
mands that all prosecutions growing out of
the unfortunatenflair at Homestead shonld
ceae. I feel sure, also, that every Home
steader now in the county jail charged with
murder would be acquitted, but I am not so
sure about people on the other side. It
wouldn't surprise me if a jury should hold
them guilty for'some crime, tosavthe least.
"I never doubted for one minute that
Critchlow would not be acquitted. Ton
have no idea the feeling that existed in
favor of these men. Good substantial busi
ness people, strangers to us, often stopped
us on the streets and said: 'We don't care
to express our opinion publicly, but we
hope to God you will win.' "When I saw
how many of the best people felt about the
case, I was not afraid of the average jury,
for I keew that the common people held the
6ame views and with more tenacity."
"Will Critchlow be released on bail?"
"I think so. Mr. Brennen. the chief
counsel, is out of town and we didn't like
to do anything without consulting him.
He will go into court this morning and ask
lor his release on bail. My opinion is that
all the Homesteaders will be admitted to
bail in a short time."
TMiy the Jury cqultted.
Bnt the great surprise of the case was the
ground on which the jury acquitted the
prisoner. This should have been published
several days ago, but the 12 men live in the
country, and they were so anxious to get
home that a cyclone could not have stopped
them. As soon as they were discharged
they made a break for liberty and steered
straight for those who are nearest and dear
est to them. Pour of the jurors wandered
into the Monontrahela House yesterday
afternoon and called on the "Western law
yers. The first question Mr. Erwin asked
was: "How did you come to acquit Critch
low?" What followed is detailed by Mr.
Argo, who repeats the conversations.
He said: "It took the jury about half an
hour to come to a verdict. When the 12
men went out they took a secret ballot first
It stood 8 for acquittal, 1 lor murder in the
first degree, 1 for murder in the second de
gree and 2 for manslaughter. Then a for
mal ballot was taken and it showed 9 for ac
quittal, 1 for murder in the first degree and
2 for manslaughter. A third ballot followed,
when the 12 agreed on acquitah Up to this
time no opinion had been expressed by anv
body, and then the foreman asked for a dis
cussion of the verdict and why each had
voted not guilty. They all agreed in dis
regarding the evidence on both sidesy The
only witness they believed was Mrs. fcoyle,
the Irish woman, but her testimony alone
did prove an alibi. The jurymen frankly
told us that they thought our alibi was
without foundation, and they were con
vinced that Stewart and Beese for the other
side were mistaken.
Wouldn't Believe the Pinkertons.
"As for the Pinkertons, their testimony
had no weight with them from first to last.
The jury took the position that the pres-'
euce of an armed band of Pinkertons atj
Homestead was unprovoked and an un-i
authorized invasion, and that the people!
were justified in their resistance. That part!
of Judge Kennedy's charge where he said
that any man with a gun who was on thd
grouna at me lime 01 the riot is guilty, w;
ignored altogether. The jury did not fe
tfl
that this interpretation of 'the lair would
stand, and certainly it would not if the in
vasion was unauthorized. In short, ihe
jury accepted the argument made by Mr.
Erwin, audi think they were right in do
ing so. It was on this ground that they
acquitted Critchlow."
Mr. Erwin regards the outcome of the
case with extreme satisfaction. In dis
cussing it yesterday he said: "My mother
often told me when I was a boy of the con
science of the Pennsylvania people. I
never saw it and did not realize it so much
as when I came here last summer. This
State was founded by the Quakers, and they
hare instilled into their descendants it
strong sense of right and wrong. It was
the most striking peculiarity of the people
that I first noticed, and I felt then that
Critchlow would not be convicted. The
Pennsylvanians are also Terr inde
pendent ahd they will resent oppression.
"It was your people who checked Lee's
army at Gettysburg and saved the "Union.
It was the same spirit that actuated the
men at Homestead. I am not afraid of mob
law in this State. Your citizens are too
well grounded, but I would advise every
body, and Pinkertons in particular, not to
tramp on them unless they want to be
hurt Pennsylvania is a great State, and
its people are respected all over the land as
extremely just and law abiding."
ONLY SIX WANTED TO BETOBir.
Miners Kefase to Accept the Redaction and
Are Determined in Their Demands.
The Globe mines, in the fourth pool.have
been purchased bv Jones & Laughlins.
Both railroad and river coal is run at this
place. Since the miners' strike was de
clared last September little work has been
done. As soon as the mines had changed
hands "a meeting of the striking miners was
ailed by Superintendent Druin, who in
formed the men that the company intended
to start the mines at the 2 cent rate, or on
the 3 cent basis.
A conference of miners was held and the
proposition of the company considered.
Only six out of 130 voted to return at the
reduced rate. These miners will hold an
other meeting to-day, when the matter will
be further considered. It is thought there
will be trouble should the company try to
start the mines without the consent of the
miners, as the men are verv determined.

A POLITICAL DINNER.
Washington Conntj Democrats Drop
Into Pittsburg to Eat
THEY TALK ABOUT THE OFFICES.
Senator Dnnlap's Programme in the I egis
lative Session.
AFTER THE UNIONTOWN P0ST0FFICE
A rather distinguished coterie of Demo
cratic politicians from the country met in
Pittsburg yesterday, by accident, so they
said. The same fate led them to take din
ner together at the Monongahela House. It
is not known whether each man paid his
bill, or whether there was a host for the
party. But that is a small mattsr. Wash
ington county was well represented. The
crowd was headed by John C Bane, the
county chairman. The others at the table
were Senator Dunlap, of Bridgewater; D.
F. Patterson, the criminal lawyer and a
close friend of Congressman Sipe; L. Mc
Carrell and R. L. McCarrell and B. W.
Irwin, of Washington.
The conversation drifted into soeial
channels and then out into the broad field
of politics. When asked what was done
they all protested that politics was not dis
cussed. It was not even a dinner party,
but the gentlemen finding themselves in
the hotel concluded to dine together, and
they invited D. F. Patterson, who used to
be a Washington county man. It was sus
pected that they met to fix up a patronage
slate, for Washington to be presented to
Coneressman. Sipe, but this was stoutly
denied also.
Defending the River Banks.
Senator Dunlap said there was nothing
new in politics, so far as he new. He is
getting ready to defend the river banks
again this winter against men like Senator
Flinn and others, who would like to estab
lish a huckster market on the Allegheny
whtrf.
Mr. Irwin said: "The fact that we dined
together does not mean anything. It was a
social party. We are not after the patron
age of Washington county. I am not
posted on the other counties in the Con
gressional district, but I know several can
didates for the postoffice in Washington.
Thev are J. V. Boyd, J. Edgar Brady and
J. Carter Judson. The office is a good one,
and the candidates are all first-class Demo
crats. Any of them would make an excel
lent postmaster. Each has his friends and
is circulating a petition. IP is hard to say
which one will be successful.
Chairman John C Bane has been men
tioned in connection with the United Statas
Marthalship. He denies that he is after
anything. Mr. Bane is a stanch anti
Harrity man and is devoted to the Guffey
faction. If the National Chairman has any
influence with the administration, he is ex
pected to wield it against Mr. Bane. The
latter, no doubt, knows it.
Talking Abont Federal Patronage.
Mr. Irwin added that the Washington
county Democrats had had several talks
with Mr. Sipe about patronage since the
election, but nothing was done. S. L.
Mestrezat, a prominent Democrat from
Uniontown, was at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel, but he evidently did not know of
the party at the Monongahela House. Mr.
Mestrezat was here on private business.
P. S. Newmeyer, S. M. Graham and
Charles M. Fee, three veteran Republican
politicians from Connellsville, were noticed
also in the lobby of the Monongahela
House. Mr. Newmeyer was acquainted
with the Democrats and shook hands with
them, but they didn't divulge anything to
him. Mr. Kewmeycr said there was a great
scramble for the postoffice in Uniontown.
The candidates number a dozen or more.
Among them is the Irrepressible ex-Senator
T. B. Schnatterly, who is backed by Scaright.
Mr. Newmeyer thinks Searight is the man
who has the ear of Congressman Sipe. In
Connellsville the foremost candidate for
the postoffice is P. J. Hanigan. Mr. New
meyer says he is a clever man and ought to
have the place it party work is taken into
consideration.
FOLEY'S CASE ON TEIAL.
The Jury Secured and Evidence Will Be
Heard To-Day.
The Foley-Laird libel case was called up
yesterday afternoon in the Greenburg
Criminal Court and a jury was secured, af
ter which the court made the usual adjourn
ment till noon. In the afternoon the case
against Sitman was taken up and finished,
with the acquittal of the defendant. The
trial of the libel case will probably proceed
without interruption to-day.
The Anti-Tammany Preacher.
Rev. Thomas Dixon and wife, of New
York, were at theDuquesnefor a short time
yesterday. Ther had been in Chicago and
were going home. Dr. Dixon is the great
anti-Tammany preacher who made it hot
for Croker and his lieutenants. He
thanked God after the election that the re
sult was not due to the work of Tammany.
He returned thanks again. that New York
was no longer a pivotal State.
James B. Scott for Mayor.
James B. Scott is being urged to run for
Mayor in Allegheny. It is said Mayor
Kennedy would be glad to see him elected ns
he is a good business mat and will carry out
the city improvements projected. Council
man Hendricks is laid ut with rheumatism,
and is reported to have given up the fight
for the nomination. Mr. Scott will accept
if the nomination is offered to him. He
won't go into a contest for it.
Bather Pointed Letter.
Recording Secretary McCrickart, of the
Randall Club, has issued a letter stating
that the only opposition for his re-election
will come from the men who "have almost
destroyed all chances for Democratic suc
cess in the county, and now seek to do the
same thing in club affairs."
Grlpp Will Succeed Burleigh.
The indications are that Jndge Gripp
will succeed District Attorney Burleigh as
chairman of the city committee in the com
ing mayoralty canvass.

ductors east of the Ohio. The freight con

general wakening up on the question of re
stricting undesirable immigrants irom com
ing to this country. Representative citizens

HE WAS SEABF.
A Soliciting Agency That Did Not Pay as
Well as Was Expected.
George R. Evans yesterday entered suit
against George Sharp before Alderman Mc
Masters. Sharp was charged with false
pretense. The Alderman held him for
court
The testimony of the prosecutor, George
R. Evans, shows that last September he and
George Sharp entered into a partnership
to solicit orders for shirts and underwear.
Sharp had been in the business lor some
time, and representing that he had $300 in
money and about $300 worth of orders, in
duced" Evans to advance $100 for a
half interest in the business, assur
ing him that he could make no less
than $50 per month out of the agency.
During the first weekbut ?8 worth ot busi
ness was done, and Sharp spent about $85
of the money Evans put in the agency in
fitting up an office. One week was enough
for Evans and finding Sharp had no money
he agreed to sell out to him. Sharp gave
him four notes, one due November 3, and
the rest monthly. November 3 rolled
around and Sharp not paying the note
Evans entered suit for false "pretense.
Sharp denied under oath that he repre
sented to Evans that he had $300 or any
money, or that he had more than $75 worth
of orders.

TRUE EVEN TO DEATH.
A Noble Wife's Devotion to a Hus
band Who Once Cast Her Offi
POVERTY IS BRAVELY ' FOUGHT,
Though at I ast 'William 'Beach Ties in the
City Toorhonse.
A SAD ST0ET OF LIFL'S HARD STRUGGLE
William Beach died yesterday at the City
Farm of erysipelas. His death brings to
light a sad story and a noble wife's devo
tion. Beach was employed on the new Carnegie
block. Fifth avenue and Cherry alley.
On November 15 he was badly in
jured and taken to his boarding
house on Lacock street, Allegheny. He
laid there for several days, receiving treat
ment from an Allegheny physician. For
some reason he and his pretty wife were
separated. Beach had not been all that he
should have been, and his wife left him.
She lived in shabby quarters away out
Second avenue, and was eking out an exist
ence as a clerk at a small salary. As soon
as she heard of her husband's illness she
flew to his bedside. In her desire to make
him comfortable, she had him removed to
her own rooms.
Nursed Him With Wifely Devotion.
There for three days she nursed him as
only a true wife could, but Beach rapidly
grew worse. Money ran out, and the poor
woman was in awful straits. All the hos
pitals were visited, but each one was full
and eould not take another patient.
Mrs. Beach had no friends in Pittsburg,
and when she could not get her husband
into any of the hospitals she was at a loss to
know what to da The only recourse left
was the Poor Farm. The thought of one she
loved so dearly as her husband having to go
there was bitter to her. She hoped against
hope for another dav, but Providence
had not visited the shabby quarters of the
Beaches. Chief Elliot was at last visited
and he heard her story with compassion.
There was nothing he could do, however,
but send the husband to the Home. This
was done.
Cared for Him to the Last.
From the time the doors of the charitable
institution closed on Beach until death
claimed him the little woman stinted her
self that her loved one might have any
luxury her small means would buy him.
Every day and oftener she visited the de
partment to ask after Beach's health.
Yesterday morning she received the
official notification of Beach's death. It
was a hard blow to her she had hoped that
he was going to recover. Erysipelas bad
set in and death was inevitable. When Cor
oner McDowell arrived at his office yes
terday afternoon, he found a pretty little
blaok-robed figure sitting in his private of
fice. It was Katie Beach. Her pale cheeks
were stained with tears, and a great sob
choked her voice as she accosted the Coro
ner. She wanted Mr. McDowell to get her
husband's body. Mrs. Beach was very much
afraid that the remains would be turned
over to the Anatomical Society. Amid
tears she told him her sorrowful story, and,
although nearly penniless, she wanted to
give him a decent burial Coroner Mc
Dowell immediately sent for the body, and
the little woman departed with at least one
load lifted from her burdened hjiart.

LISTED IHE MERCHANTS.
Beaver Falls Ex-Strikers Do Not. Peel Too
Kindly Toward Certain Merchants.
A special from Beaver Falls says: The
men recently on strike here -are- evidently
not at all disposed to let bygones be by
gones. A circular made its appearance yes
terday, giving a full list of the names of
the merchants and others who signed the
petition to the Carnegie Company to re
sume operations here. It is being placed in'
the hands of every workman at the mills,
and is evidently intended to post them as
-to whom those petitioners are.so they can re
fuse to deal with them. The merchants
make light of the matter. Said one promi
nent business man: "We, the merchants of
Beaver Falls, are fighting no labor organi
zation. We had no snch purpose at the
time we signed the petition. We are con
fident now that the mass of the working-
men of Bearer Falls have too much sense
to be influenced by any such vindictive
spirit."
