Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-07-07


the people away from the prisonesr.
Scenes that almost beggar description
were enacted all the way to the rink. 1t
was the general superstition that the
men would be given a speedy trial and
convicted by judge lynch jury.
While the men were being formed In
line for the march to the rink, = portion
of the strikers boarded the boats. They
ransacked everything, and secured $50
Winchesters. The men just took from
the boats what lthey thought was of
value and then burned the barges. In
one boat was found everything in the
way of edibles. There was enough pro-
visions to last q regiment q week. 1t
did not take the barges long to burn
after they were fred.
There was little pity expressed for the
captured guards.
The workers finally landed their cap
tives in the large skating rink and opera
house, where they were kept undeL
heavy guard. The leaders then sent
word to Sheriff McCleary to come in
person and take charge of the Pinker-
tons.
Sheriff McCleary is on the scene, and
will take them to Pittsburg, when they
will be charged with murder.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing it was rumored about Homestead
that the prisoners were to be taken to
Pittsburg on a special train brought up
by Sheriff McCleary.
About 1890 President Weihe of the
Amalgamated Asi 3ciation appeared in
the Opera House and ordered the hall
cleared of all outsiders.
Hugh O'Donnell, Of the Advisory
Committee, took charge and formed the
men in ranks
A few minutes later the procession
started for the depot.
The wounded brought up the rear,
several being carried in chairs, and no
demonstration was made on the way to
the station.
The trip down to Pittsburg was made
quietly.
On reachiug the station at Pittsburg,
Is wounded men were taken from the
train and removed to the West Penn
Hospital.
The train was then taken to the 28th
street station of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, another engine attached, and the
