Of the Sheriff Office and submitted propo-
sition. He agree for 500 to hand over Nil
Ter and Pritts to the United States Marshall
This proposition was submitted to commis-
sloner Mason By telegraph. The commits
sioner replied early Thursday morning that

ward for commonwealth prisoners. In the
afternoon Mr.. Cuiberlson went before the
county commissioners and told that body
that he knew man who would agree to de-
liver Pritts over to the Sheriff OF the county,
providing they would offer reward for his
arrest. This proposition was refused. The
commissioners holding that the murder of
Hochstetler was brought about through
feud created by the Federal authorities and
that the county was no more interested IN
the capture of Miller and Pritts than the
Internal Revenue Department. Il can as
sure you the Department will not interfere
said Mr.. Colbertson, before retiring from the
commissioners office and should its officers
arrest Pitts he will be turned over 70 the
United States Marshall and not to the coun-
ty of Somerset"
Mr.. Culbertson left for Pittsburgh Thurs
day evening. Before leaving he expressed
himself as satisfied that illicit whisky max

msgnates for violation OF the anti-dis-

merce Law began in the United States
court here this morning. The defendant
was Thomas Miller, and the Chicago.

The charge was that during the sum-

Dy tue AssOCidteu fIess,i
PITTsBURe, Nov. 22.-Sylvester Critch-
lows trial was resumed this morn
ing. Critchlow, in his own behalf, tes-
titled that he was not on the company's
grounds and did not fire shot during
certain specified hours on the day OF the
Homestead riot. Mrs. Critchlow testi-
fed that when che reached her home at
pm, she found her husband asleep.
The defence then rested, and the prose-
cution called several unimportant wit
nesses in rebuttal. Arguments then
commenced.
Attorney Robb, for the state, in his
address to the jury this afternoon, BE-
verely scored the attorneys for the de-
fense for the line of argument followed
by them in opening the case. He said
if he were not a better citizen than to
advise Jurors to disregard their oaths,
as had been done in this case. he would
wish he were dead. He argued at
length to show that Critchlow had not
established an a]lbi.
Attorney Erwin of Sioux Falls, S. d..
for the defense, made an impassioned
address, in The course OF which be said
the battle of Homestead was the direct
result of an unwarranted inv aston OF the
peoples territory by Pinkertons. Un-
less the right of Pinkertons to be there
was made plain, the people should have

HARRISON HANGED.
A Young Man Executed for Wondering
His Sweetheart.

A Young Man Executed for Wondering
His sweetheart.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Nov. 22.-Allen
Harrison was hanged here this after
noon. The execution was in field two
miles from the Jail, and 10000 people
witnessed the hanging. Shortly before
the hanging he made statement. He
said he had no recollection of the MUIR
der, and supposed if he did it it was
while he was under the influence OF
morphine.
The crime for which Harrison was ex-
ecuted was committed in April, 1892.
He was 81 years of age, OF peculiar
habits and strong likes and dislikes. He
became enamored OF pretty Hettie
Adams, II years old, the daughter of
Frank Adams, a prosperous farmer liv-
ing in this county, and when che re-
PEELED his advances he determined he
wonld kill her and then commit
suicide. He purchased box of
laudanum and revolver. He
swallowed the drug at his home
and went direct to the home of the
girl. He found her at the kitchen stove
building fire. Stealing in close be-
hind her he fred bullet into her
heart, killing her instantly. He slipped
away quietly and went home to die.
But the drug had weakened by age, and
when the excited neighbors dragged
him from his home he was soon brought
out OF the stupor into which he had
fallen. He was placed under arrest for
murder. The affair created great ex-
citement and lynching was narrowly
aveIted. At the last term of the circuit
court he was tried and convicted, and
sentenced to be hanged.
