DEPUTIES Must NOT TALK.
Pinkerton Compels Them to Observe
Silence--Onc Tries to Shoot "a Reporter.
PlTTsBuRG, July S.--Several pinkert on
officers including the redoubtable Captain
Robert Iinkcrtun, came to Pittsburg this
afternoon, The captain declined to talk to
any person. His sub0rdnates were equally
discreet in all matters relating to their IN
tentions but two of them who called at
the West Penn Hospital, where 20 of the
wounded PinkCrtonS are being cared for,
made an ugly scene. No sooner had they
been seated than the spokesman demanded
to know why the names of the wounded
had been given to the newspapers
WAS there any objection To their names
being given out for publications. inquired
Superintendent Cowan.
"ics, there was lot Of objection We
don't want to be made monkeys Of" said
the Pinkerton man.
Then another Pinkcrton officer, accom-
| panied by a representative Of the Car
| negies, entered the room, and the whole
| party visited the wounded men, These
| men were cautioned not 10 say ANYTHING
| for publication or to diyulgc anything re-
garding ME working of the agency. The
| men insisted on Superintendent Cowan
| excluding all newspaper representatives
from the ward, which Mr.. Cowan agreed
| to do.
10 REMOVE THE WOUNDED PINKERToNs.
They informed Mr.. Cowan that they had
arranged with the railroad company for
| the transportation of all the injured to
| their homes and that they would be re-
moved tonight. A newspaper man in
| quired il they were connected with the
| PinkcrtOn Agency.
! what is that Of Your business" replied
the elder of the two men, with an oath.
II simply asked the question for in
formation" replied the reporter.
| lOu re one OF those newspaper re-
portcrs, and ii you do not make tracks
/ quick I'll blow your head Off
Suting his action 10 his words he thrust
his hand into his hip pocket and partly
drew some weapon, which he exposed to
view.
| Dir. Murdoch, one of the staff surgeons
of the hospital witnessed the act and called
the man to hold. The detective then re.
placed his weapon. and the two started in
the direction OF TWenty-Cirhtl street
where they boarded an inbound car.
The fact that the Pinkcrtoms were at
tended by representative OF the Carnegie
Company and that this person made
several visits during the day to the room
Of Captain PinkertOn, GSCites the sus-
piciun that the Carnugies may make
another attempt TO get Pinkertun men
into the Homestead Steel Works, nDtwith-
standing the fact that all rnmors concern.
Ing the coming OF Pinkcrtons since the
first lot arrived have thus far been shown
to be without foundation.
