first three were general delegates rep
resenting all the city's building trades.
Mr. Thomas yesterday was inter
viewed by a Tribune reporter concern
ing the league. He said:
"Within a year the league will pos
sess 100,000 members In this state, quite
a body of men who can make it decid
edly Interesting for any political candi
date who does them an injustice. We
made a hit at Pittsburg by holding
public sessions. The people came to
see us and the papers printed columns
about our doings and had nothing to
criticise. The meeting was the result
of a call to all local unions fiom the
United Labor league of Western Penn

furthering good legislation.

now. The executive committee selects
three of its members to do the lobby
ing both nt Harrisburg nnd Washing
ton. Among the bills to be pushed Is
that giving labor claims precedence In

to prevent Intimidation of laboring
men by employers on account of af
filiation with unions; amendments to
the factory laws muking fourteen
years the nge when minors may be

law; providing for guarded machinery

LEMON DID NOT
COMMIT SUICIDE
Coroner's Jury Decided That lie Was
Foully Murdered.
WALTZ PLACED UNDER ARREST
It! Denies Having Shot I. onion, but
Says lie Knows Who Did--Evidence
Heard Before tlio Coroner's Jury,
'i'lii! Verdict That Mas Itolimiud.
Wall, lias Been Lodged in the
County .lull 'tit .Montrosu--Tlu
(Sriuiil Jury Will I'robu Into Case.
Developments of yesterday Indicate
that Jabe? Lemon, of Forest City, did
not commit suicide, but was foilllv
murdered. John Waltz, who lived
with hint, was yesterday placed under
arrest to answer the charge of having
murdered Waltz.
Lemon was over 00 years of ago and
conducted n pool room In the Hlgglns
building on Depot alley, Forest City.
He lived In apartments In the rear of
the pool room, which he shared with
Waltz. Early Sunday morning the lat
ter notified the neighbors that Lemon
had committed suicide. He said that
during the night he heard a sharp,
cracking sound which awakened him.
Healing no further noise he acaln fell
asleep, supposing that a bottle of soft
drink In the pool room had exploded.
When he awakened again he found
Lemon dead, siting bolt upright In a
chair with a revolver lying at his feet
and a bullet hole In ills forehead.
A Jury was empanelled by Justice of
the Pence D. It. Brenian, which viewed
the 1-emnlns and adourned until Mon
day at 2 p. in. Considerable testimony
was heard then and ut fi o'clock the
jury udjourned until 7 p. m., when fur
ther testimony was heard.
RESULT OF INQUEST.
Tho result of the Inquest was a most
startling one. From the evidence giv
en the jurors were convinced that
Lemon did not take his own life, nnd
brought In a verdict to the effect that
he met his death by some unknown
hand and recommended that Waltz be
arrested to await further developments
of the case.
There were no powder marks on the
face and the fact that Lemon was un
able to move on account of sickness
caused a little suspicion.
The doctor who attended him pre
vious to his death claims that he could
not live but a few days, his condition
being so critical. Waltz made a state
ment some time ago that Lemon had
willed his business to him when the
end of life came. All these Incidents
were the cause of suspicion, hence Un
close examination of the witnesses.
One witness testified that he heard a
quarrel ill the pool room previous to the
shooting. Another stated that lie posi
tively heard Lemon beg AYnltz not to
hurt him. Other witnesses produced
evidence equally as startling.
AYultz swore that he called his land
lord, William Hlgglns, at I a. m. on
Sunday, but Mr. Hlgglns testified that
it was at S a. in. When the veidlct
was given AVnltz was Immediately
placed under arrest. Ollicer Ledyard
accompanied him to the lockup, and on
the way down Main street the prisoner
told the ollicer that he did not shoot
Lemon, but lie knew who did It.
He made the same statement yester
day morning while at breakfast In t li
Davis house to Mrs. J. R. Davis, nnd
mentioned the name of the person who
did It. He wept when he departed for
Montrose and lepeatedly proclaimed
To"Prss Counterfeit Bills On U5 '."
his Innocence. He will bo taken before
the grand jury at Montrose, where the
mysteries of the case will be further
Investigated. It Is the general opinion
that Mr. Lemon was shot while in the
chair In which lie slept. He was too
weak to go to bed.
.ANSWER TO GANNON'S SUIT.
Another .Hove in the Now ruinous
ttjectment Suit.
Mary Kiel, through her attorney, C.
It. Pitcher,' yesterday made answer to
tho declaration in the proceedings for
a new trial for James Gannon, tin- man
who has been in the county jail since
June, IS'JI, for contempt of court.
Gannon's attorneys, I. 11. Hums and
Richard llusted, Jr., on January 8, last
asked for-a new trial on the grounds
that the verdict was rendered through
fraud, accident or mistake. The trial was
brought under the form of an amicable
ejectment with conditioned verdict. It
came to Gannon's attorney's ear recent
ly that this form of proceeding was
udopted at their i-eques t. Such was not
the case, they say, and they now be
lieve they should be given a new trial
under the usual form of u common law
ejectment and without any agreement
as to conditional verdict.
In the answer of Mrs. Ttlel It Is set
forth that Gannon's attorneys did
openly and unreservedly aaree to the
form of procedure which was followed
and that a new trial was refused once
before on an application based on the
same grounds as the present one.
The principal object of Gannon's at
torneys at present Is to secure his re
lease from jail. Ho will never obey Un
order of court, which refusal keeps him
In Jail, and the present proceedings
are as much as anything to give him his
freedom without compromising Gan
non or the court.
