rendered nearly ten years ago by james A.
Logan, who at the time was Presi-
dent Judge of the Westmoreland
County Courts. He was trying a case of
aggravated riot against Armstrong and
Others Armstrong was the owner of coke
works. During a labor dispute he en-
ployed Italian workmen. While endeavor-
ing to put the non-union men to work riot
occurred and two men were killed. Judge
Logan, in charging the jury, instructed
that the owner of the works who had ar

was party to the killing, and the jury so
