rHg INQUEST CONTINUED.
Witnesses in the Piukerton Killing Inves-
tigntion Are More wary.


PTTsBuRG, Aug. 3.-The inquest as to
the killing of the PinSerton detectives and
a steel worker at the Homestead riot on
July was continued at the Office Of Cor
oner Mcdowell yesterday afternoon, and
after a score Of witnesses had been exam
ined another adjournment was ordered
until this afternoon. Since the arrest Of
Capt Coon and O. W. Mansfield, who
testified to seeing the woll,meu shoot at
the Pinkertons i'm their barges, the wit
nesses subpUuaed have grown wary, and
while all admit seeing or hearing shooting
uoue will swear who are the guilty par
ties.
Anumber of Homestead physicians and
the undertaken who had charge of the
remains of Morris aud Sias Vain were
called but told nothing of Importance.
Elmer b. Begle was the last witness and,
although guarded i'm what he said, gave
some important testimony.
lie stated that he was aroused on the
morning of July 6 by the blowing OF a
whistle, and heard shooting. Afterwards
he went to the river bank with about 900
others and heard more firing. Some one
commanded the men to stop shooting and
it ceased for while. Shortly afterwards,
he said, about ~ armed men in blue coats
came out of one of the barges and stood
at the bow. One advanced to the gang
plank and called out that they would
land in 10 minutes Somebody on the
bank cursed the blue-coats and told them
not to come ashore.
Then the leader of the men on the boat
shot at the crowd and the firing was re-
turned by the mill men. Beale further
stated that at a. m. the Pinkertons be-
gan picking Off people who stood ON the
bank, and he became frightened and ran
away. 1t is not likely that any important
testimony will be brought out to-day.
Coroner Mcdowell states that he will
have something to say to the jury, and it
is expected the charge will be a scathing
one

JUDGE TAYLoR's DECISION.

JUDGE TAfL0R'S DECISION.
On last Wednesday, Judge S. L.
Taylor handed down his decision in the
case of the State vs. John Lake and
his sureties This opinion held tha!
the recording of the sheriff's bond
was a mortgage on all the property
acquired by that officer during its
existence 1t Likewise recognized
the claim of the State in the sum of
S26,512,31 with interest at 5 per cent
per month on Sl0,665,81 frOm July
30 1891, and on Sl2,S26,51 from July
80 1892.
Under this decision all property ac-
quired by Sheriff Lake, during the
existence of the bond must be ex-
hausted to satisfy this judgment be-
fore the sureties can be held to.pay
any amount, and this. no matter into
whose hands the real estate may have
passed.
The right was granted the owners
of oil such property to come in court
and show if they can, why their
portion is exempt from
the ruling in this case.
Aisuy pi. ces of property have been
handled by Mr.. Lake, aud 1t may be
that the pro rata of each may not be
so mnch after all. For the bsnefit OF
all parties and Mr. Lake as well, We
sincerely hope that the burden will

ton to render him every assistance
possible to thoroughly prosecute thi,
case. Let the law be rigidly enforc-
ed, no matter on whose shoulders
