protect the mill of the Carnegie Steel
Company were not sworn in as deputy

said that he had no authority himself
to take such action and that Sheriff
McCleary had not authorized him tc
do so.
The Pinkerton men claim that they

came from different towns, were
strangers to one another and had heen
told that they were wanted as watch
men. In proof of this each guard wore

authority to carry lilies or fire ON the

strikers. This is a broad question
