had before him dvsen attorneys ana
about flfty spectators In the hearing for
the release on bah Of Sylvester Critcn,
low and James Close. the Homestead
strikers charged by the Carnegie steel
Company with murder. Three PinKer-
ton detectives sat In the audience
J. N. Nixon, plate worker IN 'ne
Homestead mill, and H. II. hervey.
assistant paymaster, testified to having
seen Critchlow on the morning OF the
battle with a gun over his snouiuef
going toward the Pinkerton barges
Samuel Stewart, clerk in the Home
stead Office, who furnished his company
the names of all strikers who carrrieu
guns on that day says he saw Critch-
low with gun In the morning and at
o'clock he saw him behind the strikers
barricade, lying on his face, peeping
through a port hole. Stewart saw MN
aim, press the trigger and fire, and So"
the smoke from his gun.
Critchlow's lawyers tried TO oreah
this testimony, but Judge Magee inter

case is different from ODonnelrs. The
latter's association with the rioters was
solely for the purpose of preserving
peace" ,.
Can't. Cooper, Pinkerton detective,
testified that Connor was shot at IL
o'clock.
Attorney Brennan then demanded the
release of Critchlow, but Judge Magee
. decided otherwise. He said: VI Will re-
: fuse to accept bail and hold the prison
l or for murder in the first degree. An
r awful pallor overspread Critchlow'f
t face at these words. He trembled vio
Q leutly. He had firmly expected NJ
t would be released as was O'Donnell anc
the others.
James Close was at once admitted u
o s1O, 1000 bail, the prosecution not object

= produced.
h 1t is asserted by many conservative
l. thinkers that the policy of the Carne
gies with regard TO the prosecution o
r. the strikers is not only to prosecute ou
Ie to persecute the locked out men. Pec
y pie who should know say that IN
st wholesale prosecutions will be contil
le ued until tho strikers exhaust oil thel
c. resources OF securing bail or becom
sulleriy obstinate and refuse to furnis
bail.
