O.Donneu and RIOS. on Trial.

PITTsBURG, July 23.-The hearing OF
Hugh O'Donneu and Hugh Ross is now
in progress before Judge Magee at the
court house. The prosecution is MAX
ing n strong effort to hold the accused
men without bail. Judge Magee, how
ever. indicated that evidence must be
presented to establish the charge of
murder in the first degree.
Superintendent Mcconnell, OF the
Carnegie Steel company, Captain Con-
nor and another Pinkerton man, who
were on the barges during the battle,
have testified TO O'Donncll's presence
on the shore. They have not yet
proven that O'Donnell participated in
the riot or that ltc did anything to en-
courage the men engaged in it.
After three homs of continuous ar
gument and taking OF testimony in the
application for the admission to bail of
Hugh O'Donnell, the court at 1925
took n recess till 1 =. m. Whom ODon-
nell and Ross were first brought into
the court, they were placed in tho pris-
oners' dock. BY order of Judge Magee
they were brought before the bar OF the
court. The district attorney said that the
commonwealth had decided TO resist
the application for bail and that 1T
was therefore the duty Of the defense
to show u why its client was en-
titled to bail. This position was Wig
orously antagonizcd by Attorney Bren-
man,, on behalf of O'Donnell, ON the
ground that when the prisoner gave
himself up it became the duty OF the
commonwealth to show why he should
be hold. In the long and technical
discussion that followed, Dis
trict Attorney Rurleigh, and
Messrs. Robb anu PatterAOn
made speeches. All of them took tAe
ground that having waived a hearing,
the accused had no right to call on the
commonwealth 10 show its baud and
indica,e what it had against him.
Finally the court decided that the in
formation did not charge murder in
the first degree: that the mouth of de-
PENDANT was closed until his trial and
that the question was whether or not.
under the information, he had nm alb
solute right to bail.

Brrcmln stlii IA Mystery.

PITTsBURG,, July 2&-AleXander
bergman mot Berkman) the would-be
assassin of Fricl, is still a riddle.
None of the detectives or newspaper
men who have been talking to him
have got anything but contradictory or
trivial information SO far He said today
that when he was ready, which would
not be until after his transfer TO the
county Jail, he would make n written
statement for tho Associated Press,
and until then would decline to an
swer any questions. That he is Sc
cretly pleased with the notoriety he
has gained is evident, but that he is a
fanatic who has become cranky over
anarchistlc literature also seems
certain. lie stated today that
he never worked for Herr
Most's paper, tho Freiheitu, and
says that he has done only book
work. lie had 10 regrets, he said, for
what he had done. Nothing has been
learned as to how long he has been in
the city or anything else. lie seems
to have deliberately taken every pre-
caution to conceal his identity, and had
his plan of committing suicide
like Lingg not been frustrated his
face would have been blown away,
leaving the matter a complete mystery.
Much to his own surprise and that of
everybody else Bergman was trans
ferred from the central station to the
Jail tonight. The officers thought to
make the transfer quietly, but a couple
of sharp gamins at "A corner recognized
Bergman and before the Jail was
reached %severa! hundred people were
crowding up to get u glimpse of the
anarchist.

New YORK, July 90. - Complying
with a request for a statement in re-
gard to the Homestead trouble, Hugh
O'Donnell writes, under date of Home
stead, July Is, reviewing the negotia-
tions between the Carnegie company
and the Amalgamated association
which ended in the lockout. He at
tributes the rupture of good relations
to the fact that Mr.. Prick, the new
head of the concern, was determined
to break up the labor organizations,
and for this purpose made u%nreason
able conditions. Mr.. O'Donnell then
describes the formation of the advis-
Dry committee, and says:
"All vent well until Tuesday, July
6. The story Of the arrival of barges
loaded with men bearing the brand of
pinkertonism, and their attempt to
enter the works in the silent hours OF
the early morning, is already known
in every household in this broad land.

"The Homestead outbreak was not

only to accomplish injury to life and
