P1TTsBuRaH. July 22--All those who aret
keeniy interested in tho Homestead strike arg
specializing to-day over tho meaning OF q Z.
visit OF nine men. who are supposed TO bet
Pinkerton detectives to the jail here TO iden-
tifv Hugh O'Donne Tho hearing in the APPS
plication which Lawyers Brennan and Coz
made before Judge Mngee had Just been con-
cluded to-day when Mr. Cox said to several
reporters that ODonnell would like to 500
them In the Jail. Tho reporters hurried over
and were met by Warden McAloesc. who te-
clned to admit them. They saw through tho
grated door nine men sitting in the Wardem's
Office. While tho reporters were there the
Warden called Deputy Sofrcl aside and said to
him: ALLOW no two Of those mon to go in nc
once. Take them In one at time. and when
they have identified their man show them out
In the same manner"
Tho men were taken inside ono by on,.
O'Donnell was called from his cell by son"l.
A dozen prisoners. whose offences range from
pitch and toss" to manslauChter were ranged
in line in the corridor. O'Donnell standing
third. After the first OF the nine men had
passed along the line and had re, urned to the
Wardens office Warden McAleese stopped
him, and said:
Did you see any Of your peoplet"
II did,"
How many?"
Just one. the man with the straw hat on"
AS each man left O'Donnelrs place in the
line was changed. and his hat exchanged
with that OF some other prisoner. Each OF the
rioters hit the same man.
Several Of the nine men were intercc,tci N
leaving the Jail. and were asked il they were
not members OF the Plnkcrton force. to which
each replied ovasively. but not one denied it.
1t was apparent that each will come to the
witness stand tomorrow or the hearing to res
lease O'Donnell on bail.
Warden McAecse said that although ODon-
nell's attorneys might have wished him to see
the reporters. tho man himself certainly did
not want to say ANYTHING in print and then ne
smiled in a way that made the reporter W o
was interviewing him think that Lawyer CoN's
message had been intended to get them to the
jail at lust tho right time.
While this inspection Of O Donnell was going
on Mrs. ODonnell was in the Warden ofli.e
awaiting a chance to see her husband. She is
1uick-wittod woman and che suspected what
was going on. She asked great many ques-
tons. but none OF them was answered.
Lawyers Brennan and Cox began proceed
ing similar to the proceeding in the McIuckie
case when the court opened this morning.
The lawyers for the Carnegie Company asked
that tho hearing be postponed for day and
Judge Magee fixed 0:aO o'clock tomorrow
morning as tho time.
The impression prevails that strong effort
Ia to be made to prevent O'Donnells reiease
from jail on bail tomorrow. 1t is believed that
the Identification by tho Pinkerton men to day
had something to do with tho case TO- morrow.
ODonnell has been one OF the most offensive
men to the Carnegie Company but the COM
pany says very positively that that makes no
difference so far as the prosecution in.this ease
is concerned.
This matter" said Secretary Lovejoy yes
terday. is entirely out OF our hands We
care no moro for the prosecution OF O'Donnrl
than we care for the prosecution OF any other
OF the rioters"
Lawyer Brennan says that he has no doubt
whatever but that O'DonnelI and Ross will be
released in the morning. He said no could not
imagine Of what use the identification by til,
Pinkerton men was. "ODonnell has never
denied" he said. that he WAS on the field the
day OF the battle. There is plenty Of evidence
to prove that he did not have a gun. and that
he did counsel the men to peace"
III O'Donnell is admitted to ball he will ge. n
rousing reception on his return to Homestead
The strikers say tho town is not under martial
law. and that Provost Marshal Graen or Gen.
Snowden has no right to interfere with any
demonstration that may be made. They say
they will show that tho people OF Homestead
are not to be trinad with. This is buster or
