Names Thirty-one Men for Trial.
PITTsBURG, Oct. 12-The grand jury sit
ting in the treason cases against Home
stead strikers and the murder and conspir-
acy charges against H. c. Frick, various
other officials of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany and the Pinkerton detectives, has
brought in true bills in all the cases.
After the charge to the grand jury by
Chief Justice Paxson in the treason cases
it was thought that the murder charges
would be postponed, and when the jury re-
ported on them also it came in the nature
of surprise. Chief Justice Paxson, of
the supreme court of this state, and Judge
Kennedy, of the county court occupied the
benchwhen the jury entered the courtroom.
The courtroom was packed with spec
tators Foreman Berlin presented the find
ings, which, after examination by the
judges, were handed to the clerk of the
courts.

The bill in the aggravated riot cases
against the Carnegie officials differs very
little from that in the conspiracy action, ex.

the alleged conspiracy the alleged unlaw-
full and riotous acts were committed.
