The true bill in the treason cases sets
forth at great length that the defendants
and other persons, names unknown. to
the number of one thousand and upward,
armed and arrayed in Warlike manner
did "feloniously and traitorously
join and assemble themselves together,
and then and there did dispose them
pose themselves against the said COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania, and did or
daln, prepare and levy war against said
commonwealth OF Pennsylvania, to the
END that the Constitution. laws and au-
thority might be, and were defied, re-
sisted and subverted by the said defend
ants and their armed allies, contrary to
the duty of allegiance and fidelity of said
defendants, to the evil example of all
others in Ike cases offending contrary to
the form of an Act of the General As
n md 3oy3
against the peace and dignity of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania
The indictments against the Carnegie
officials for murder read as in the case of
Silas Vain: That said defendants. on
the sixth day of July, 1892, with force of
arms, did make assault on Silas Vain,
and felonlously, maliciOusly and of their
malice aforethought did kill and MUIR
der, against the peace aud dignity of the
commonw of Pennsylvania
The indictments against Prick and his
associates for conspiracy set forth, among
other things, that said defendants did
unlawfully, falsely and maliciously con-
splre, combine, tederate and agree to-
gether TO depress, lower, lessen and di-
mlnlsh wages, prices and compensation of
labor of divers persons employed by the
Carnegie Steel Company Limited to then
and there close up the steel mandatory
and cease work and operations therein.
anu thereupon convey and caused to
be sent 200 men and upward armed with
guns, ETC., TO overawe, intimidate and
1rlghten divers persons in said township
OF Mitftin, who were there lately before
employed by said Carnegie Steel Com
pany, to invade said township of Miffiin
and 10 attack and to shoot off and dis
charge said deadly weapons against said
persons lately employed by said Carne-
gle Steel Company. )Limited).'
In regard TO the hight on the morning of
July 9th, the bill says: 1.-The defendants
did counsel and advise the shooting"
The Grand Jury's action did not cause
much excitement among the public gem
orally, and defendants themselves took il
quite coolly. The Carnegie officials.
however, declined to be interviewed on
the subject Of the charges.
