PITTSBURGH July 2a-On Monday morning
when District Attorney Brhleieh announced.
after the reading Of the opinion In tho
case OF Hugh ODonnell. that he WAS sat
istled to let the cases Of the other defend
ants then in court stand on tho Same
1nlipg and to permit the men to be re-
leased on bail. the opinion was expressed that
there would BIO no prosecutions ut all for MUIR
der In the first degree. The hope that this
opinion engendered in the hearts OF the Home
stead men who took an active part in the riot
and who. under the ruling OF tho Judge. made
in the case of Burgess McLuckie. are guilty OF
murder in the first degree. was dissipated to-
day when bail was refused in the case OF
Samuel Critchlow and he was held on a charge
Of murder In the first degree
Crtchlow was one OF the men named In the
first batch Of lnformations made by Secretary
Loveioy. but he succeeded in eluding arrest
until a late hour on Tuesday night. He was
caught in Homestead then by Constable Nor
rs. and was brought to Pittsburgh and locked
w in the county Jail. Through Lawyer Bren-
nan. the counsel of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. he asked yesterday to be admitted to bail.
He believed. and all his friends believed, that
his arrest was merely a matter Of form. and
that he would be admitted to bail at once. His
case came up this morning In the Court Of
Quarter Sessions before Judge Magee. There
were not more than twenty persons In the
room when tho court was called to order,
Critchlow was brought over from the Jail by
two keepers. and was taken to a seat in
the prisoners pen. He is not pre-
possessing looking. He is tall and
slender with dark hair. sandy NOUS
tachc. and an unnaturnlly red face. His
n1,a boz Al.
James Close was with him. Close was arrest
ed yesterday by the same constable who ar
rested Critchlow. District Attorney Burleigh
and two lawyers representing the stool COM
pany wore on hand. There were three Pinksr-
ton detectives in the room, who had been sub
pdnacd as witnesses They were some OF tho
men who were on the barges while the strikers
were shooting during the riot.
District Attorney Burleich announced at
ones that he would resist the application OF
SritchIow. LAWYER Brennan looked surprised.
ana the announce ment nearly took the breath
away from Critch low. Ho was plainly sur.
Irised and shocked; he leaned over and whis-
self. Critchlow's case was called on the an
