""" u"us' nut AN very Innocen
Mayor Hanson Has Not srccecde.
In Finding Who Killed the Innocen
Pole. Hut Nobody Knows Anything
The Coroner Has no Better Success.
Mayor Hanson OF New Castle sat In In,
seat Of Justice both yesterday forenoon
ahu Yesterday afternoon trying to find
OUT wno nred the shot that tore the heart
cut OF Francisco Jankovsky early on
Sunday morning in tho DobbinvilIs
riot, but without success. In tho evening
Coroner Gamble took up the task, but
with no better success There were
plenty OF men who admitted that the,
nad guns IN their hands at the riot, but
Innocent men, according TO what they
say, they never fired q shot.
10 do 60 would be to implicate them
selves and they cansot be expected to DO
that. But the poor Pole was killed by
some one OF these men who carried gums.
There 10 not the least doubt of that. aud
whoever killed him did 90 purposely and
with malicious intent. Should neither
the mayor, the coroner nor the grand
inquest of Delaware succeed In uncoy-
cring tie guilty murderer, some one Of
taese men who carried guns will 20

nocence resting upon his soul.
During yesterday morning Mayor Han.
son had George Bratto-, Thomas Rogers.
John Barnes aud Albert Barnes arrr,tej
on suspicion OF being implicated in the
murder OF the Pole, and IN the afternoon
be saw cause TO have Edward CASEY.
Jacob Vandegrift, James HsrkIns aud
James Dougherty put under arrest for
the same cause. There are other men
who walked around that terrible mid.
night with guns In their bands who will
no doubt yet be arrested. 1t is now be-
iieved that about % persons were
wounded 10 the riot, but those most &C.
riously wounded were named In yester. |
day's RfPuBIIcAS. There are some
tears that Cavanaugh and Harklns will |
nave close race with death for recovery.
=, Ureat crowds rushed into the old Court |
House yesterday morning as soon AZ Il |
was learned that the hearing was TO be |
held there. A rope had TO be run across |
the building TO keep the crowd from en- |
eroacbing upon the space whore the
Huns, Poles and Americans, arrested for |
omliicity In the riot, were seated. A
NUMBER of witnesses were examined in |
the forenoon, but no testimony was
ELECTED to bring the man guilty Of firing |
the fatal shot to the front. These Wit
nesses had no hes tstion In declaring
their dislike Of the Iluagarlsus and Poles,
and Tor this certainly no fault can be |
found, as the latter were looked upon a

me price OF labor. The witnesses all 1
sRreed apparently not TO tell anything
