PfrrsEura, Pa, Jelly 1s.--This afternoon
informations were made before Alderman
McMasters for murder against hugh
0'Donnell. John McLuckie, Syl. Critch-
low. Anthony Fiaherty, Samuel Berket,
James Flanagan. and Hugh Ross.
These men were all leaders OF the strike at
Homestead. and they are charged with the
murder of T. }. Connors and Silas Wayne,
two of the Pinkertor men killed IN tne
riots. Warrants have been issued, and II
Is probable the men will be arrested To-
night, with the exception or hugh ODon-
nell, who is out of the city.
The intormations were made by L. i. L:
Lovejoy, secretary of the Carnegie steel
Company. The constables left at once for
Homestead, and are now looking for the
imen. The news created a great deal OF
excitement among the strikers, as 1t had
been believed by them that nothing would
be done for the present at least.
= The constables returned from Home
stead this evening empty handed. Ihe,y
were unable to find any OF the accused
and will go up again tomorrow.
A short time later BURGESS McLuckie ap..
peared at Alderman McMasters ofiice and
announced that he was ready TO answer
the charge OF murder he had against him.
M'LucKIE IN JAIL
The Alderman then had commitment
issued and he was placed in jail. Io-mor,
row his attorneys will 60 before court and
ask for his release on bail.
Before going to Jail. McLuckie said he
courted thorough investigation. The
other defendants, he said. had
not left the city to escape arrest,
and all but 0'Donnell would be on hand
tomorrow. Buikett. he said. was col
ored driver, and was sick in bed on the
day of the riot. and was not present at any
time during the fight. Critchlow is But:
ler-county farmer, who formerly worked
in the mil, but was at home July 9Th.
1--WE PROPOSE" said he, ITO gave Mr..
Frick dose of his own medicine, and in
formations against the officials OF the COM
pany are now being prepared"
COUNTER INFORMATION PROBABLE
II was learned later that William J. Bren-
nan, counsel for the Amalgamated Associa-
tion, was IN conference with President
Weihe. and that il was probable that in
formations against Messrs. Frick, Lovejoy.
and Potter would be made within the next
twenty-four hours.
If it was decided to take such action the
charge would probably be conspiracy.
THE CARNEGIE PLAN.
From O source close to the Carnegies II
was learned that the firm have the
names OF $50 strikers against whom
they believe they have enough evil
dence for their conviction as accessories
to the murder OF Connor and Wayne. IL
is the intention of the firm to enter in
formations every day until the entire 2l5
have been arrested.
DAVID Patterson and John s. Robb. two
Of the best criminal lawyers in this coun-
ty have been secured to conduct the
cases for the Carnegies.
McLuckies's hearing has been set for
next Friday.
