O'DONNELL HOME.
How the Strike Leader Planned Successfully 70
Prevent Any Possible Excuse for the Militia At
tacking the People of Homesead-His Secret
Movements

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 25.-The de-
tails of the careful and secret manner
In which O'Donnell was brought away
from the Jail, avoiding the great crowd
which had gathered at the Court House,
and coming into Homestead without
knowledge OF any but few friends,
were planned by Mr.. O'DOnnell himself,
and were all meant to avoid any demon
Strations whatever.
When his bail bond had been arranged
Mr. O'DOnnell went back towards the
Jail, and everybody supposed that he
had re-entered that gloomy place. This
rumor was induStriOusly spread among
the crowd, which separated, while Mr..
O'Donnell was chatting there with a
number Of gentlemen. He passed
through q side exit and hurried over TO
Maloney'S restaurant, where he ate a
sandwich, drank a glass of ale, and
waited for the carriage that had been
sent for. This drew up in the alley be-
hind the restaurant, and Mr.. O'Donnell,
an Associated Press correspondent, and
two other gentlemen entered the We
hicle aud were RAPIDLY driven away.
BY a long circuitous route, the nata-
torium on the river bank was reached
and there being plenty Of time, the
whole party went in FOR swim. The
young leader Of the locked out men
frolicked like boy just out of school. He
took the showers, dived, raced, swan
under water and went into half dozen
ducking matches with the others in the
big basin.
Then he went to his valise, and after
deliberately throwing away everything
he had worn in Jail, he put on new I'M
derclothing throughout, saying he was
afraid the others had the jail flavor on
them, and that be was through with
them. The party re-entered the hack
and proceeded TO the Merchants Hotel,
whence the +. & O. 1905 train was
made. at about 12:4S, just as it was pull
ing out
The party left the train at the salt
works, came across the mononRahela IN
the regular skiff ferry and passed rapid
ly yup TO 0'Donnell's house, which is but
half a dozen blocks from the shore. In
the meantime the leaders OF the Anal
gamated Association, who had full
knowledge Of O'DOnnell's plans, had
taken pains to clear that part Of the
town. So that between the ferry and
home We met but eight people, most of
them women, who saluted the hand
some young leader with the most eX-
travagant expressions Of delight.
Then the pretty little home Of the
chief OF the Homesteaders was reached.
The door opened; "the little woman"
was there all smiles and tears; and
O'Donnell passed from view after having
successfully achieved every purpose he
had in mind this morning, which as he
frankly put it, was TO make il impOs-
sible for the military to find any just-
canon whatever for an attack on the
people here.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 25.-About
noon things began 10 liven up some
what. A prolonged whistle from a
passing steamer on the river drew at
tention Of the townspeople 10 the fact
that the transport Tide, with a load Of
non-uuiouists, had just rau in toward
the mills. Hundreds Of people flock
ed To the river bank, and for a
time there was considerable excitement,
but il soon spent itself, no one being
able 10 approach within a quarter Of a
mile Of the point Of debarkation.
1t was not until trains from PittSburg
brought the news and long after the
event itself, that anything Of O'Don-
neli'S release was known In Homestead
except by few. The company Of mill
tia at the Pennsylvania depot lined up
in readiness for an emergency. When
the first train came in after O'DOnnell
was made free, fewer than hundred
people were in the neighborhood and
there was absolutely no signs OF pro-
bable disturbance.
A friend on the train brought a mes
sage 10 O'Donnell'S wife from her hus-
band that he would be at her side at the
first opportunity in the afternoon. She
had already been informed by wire OF
his release and was seated at the door
Of their home smilingly awaiting her
husbands arrival. Vice Chairman Craw-
ford, who is the leader in O'Donnell's
absence, was the first to offer his con-
gratulations.

ALICE MITCHELL
startling Evidence In The Hearing OF Her
Case Yesterday.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 25. The usual
placidjty Of court was overcome, and
| the court and counsel were thrown into
a contention that developed large pro-
/ portions in the Alice Mitchell case to-
day.
Immediately after the opening Of
court, DR.. y. F. Turner was placed or
the stand. He has made diseases Of the
mind a speciality.
Ia O person with predispOsing in
fuence any aRgravation as liable TO Oc-
casion a violent outburst. Hereditary
tendency can show itself 10 almost any
emotional manner.
Tn answer 70 hypothetical question
fitting q part Of the history Of Alice
Mitchell and her mother the witness
SAID, z the facts were true, be would
say that the child inherited the same
mental deraugement manifested by the
mother in a more or less degree.
Concerning the history Of Alice Mitch
ellis idea and plan 10 marry Freda
Ward, the witness said that he would
regard it as q manifestation Of the same
tendency Of the mother, aud
would regard the killing as
an act OF insanity, adding that
he should regard said insanity as per-
mament although 10 might never be in
cited 20 evidence itself again, and then
If aggravated might break out al any
time
He had visited Alice Mitchell several
times. During his first visit he had In
formed Miss Mitchell she could not
marry Freda She said she could. He
asked her If she did not know that when
people married they anticipated having
children.
She said yes, but they did not expect
to have any. He did not consider the
relations between the defendant and
Freda Ward of a compromising charac-
ter he classified her insanity I'm
perative insanity"
Miss Lille Johnson was placed on the
stand, aud interrogated concerning
manifestations of love between Alice
and Frcda said once when the two girls
were in a hammock, at Gold Dust, hug
ging and kissing, Alice said:
"Freda, you ought TO be ashamed to
hug and kiss me in public Freda re-
piled. If you love me you ought not
% be ashamed to have me kiss you in
public, aud the osculatiOn proceeded.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.
More e1per. testimony will be in
trOduced.

Secretary Lovejoy says the Fight Is at
Homestead and There Is No Rush About
the City Mills.
PIrrsBURG, PA, July 25.-All ap-
proaches TO the Thirty-third street mill
OF the Carnegie Company are guarded
this morning by large detachment OF
police.
II is now about settled that an effort
will be made 10 put several hundred
men in this mill as soon as they can
be arranged for. No strangers have
vet arrived al tho works. Only the
hands employed right along since the
shut down, ten days ago, are on duty,
but everything about the interior Of tho
departments indicates that they are in
readiness for workers. The furnaces
are Lighted as they were for the past
several days.
The locked out men are taking mat
ters coolly. One said today that he
could not see why officers were needed
when no demonstration had been made
on his side so far. The man inferred
that the firm could put men In there
without fear Of moestation. On the
other hand several OF the present work
ing force think that precaution is one
Of the neceSSaries just al the present
stage Of affairs.
The statement that the city mills Of
the company were TO start to-day is de-
MED to-day by Secretary Lovejoy, who
stated that the company was la no
hurry with these works. Mr.. LoyeioY
said: The great fight IS at Homestead,
and to that we will give our undivided

''The attempt made in Plttsburg last
Saturday and its immediate effect to-
wit, the bloody punishment OF one OF
the most brutal American despoilers OF
labor, can only cause honest satisfac-
tion in the hearts of all workingmen
struggling for our great cause. If this
man Frick should pass in his checks as
a consequence Of the dose of his own

should not shed tear. His crimes
against organized labor have brought
him the punishment that he has mer-
tied a thousand fold. We do not de-

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July 25.-The

The fire originated In a store building

from town, escaped. As soon as il
became evident that the town was
doomed, all efforts were directed TO
saving personal effects. The 1900 in
habitauts are in the smoking streets
without shelter. A train Of freightcars
was sent out by the Northern Pacific in

complications from setting in.

sympathy were received from different
points OF the country. These were kept
away from him for a time, but after
wards be insisted on having them read
to MIN, and he dictated the answers.
