ficiaIs and Pinkertons.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch


PIrrsBuRo. Pa, August 9.-The threat
ened suits against the Carnegie officials
and the Pinkertons charging them with
murder were begun this morning, when
| warrants were issued for the arrest of the
| defendants. At IL o'clock Brennan Cox
and Hugh Ross, the prosecuting witnesses
| went to Alderman Kings office, on the
South Side. and made information, and
warrants were issued for Robert and VII
liam Pinkerton, the heads Of the Pinkerton
agency. j. a. Potter. and Q. 4. Corey,
superintendents at the works, and Messrs.
Frick, Lovejoy, Leishman, and Curry. Of
fcials of the company. and several Pinker-
ton men.
INTERESTING JUDICIAL REMARKS.
Judge Ewing said This information
is made by q man who himself Is charged
with murder. and is now on bail. IL would
have been better had il been made by some
other person. think, If the story IN the
newspapers IS true, that none of the men
charged in the information can be held Tor
murder, and certainly not for murder in
the first degree. The men on shore were
there illegally, and unless YOU can show
there was malicious end deliberate kill
ing there IS no use wasting any more time.
The men on the barges were there legally,
and the others were there illegally. There
is no equality between these two parties. 1t
was not very material who began the shoot
ing. The men in the barges bad the right
10 use all necessary force to MAINTAIN their
riqhtful possession of the property. Ii
there is o case here ! will hear IT, but you
must show me some wilful and uncalled-
for killing. One of these crowds was q
mob; the other was there legally. You do
not stand IN the same position take
your own statements and can see no paral-
lei case. The people on the bank were In
the wrong IRON the start. If this IS a case
Of retaliation would like TO know 1t.
poyKY AND MCCONNELL ARRESTED.
Messrs. Doyey and Mcconnell were ar
rested at Homestead by Constable Stewart
and brought to Pittsburg, but up to 0 late
hour tonight the trio had not reached the
jail. Ii is probable that they will remain
in the custody OF the constable and pre-
sent themselves at court in the morning.
SUPERINTENDENT Potter has not yet been
arrested. Ii is not at all probable that he
will surrender himself until tomorrow. as
il would necessltate remaining III JAIL over
night.
