"HUGH Ross"
Attorney Cox Wednesday morning
said it was not their intention to arrest
Mr.. Fricll at present, or do anything to
endanger his life or his health. 1--WE will
not arrest all of them at present." said
he 1--WE have delayed this matter, not
because we doubted our position, but to
get the necessary evidence"
1t is probable that information will
be made later against the same persons
for conspiracy to depress the wages of
workmen and conspiracy to incite q
riot by bringing force of armed men
to Homestead.
The attorneys say the suits were held
off on account of the shooting of Mr..
Frick.
The warrant for the arrest of Super
intendent Potter was placed in the
hands of Constable Stewart, who left
for Homestead on the 1910 train and ex-
poets to bring back Mr.. Potter Wednes-
day afternoon. on the 4 o'clock train.
The warrant for the arrest of Secre-
tary Lovejoy was placed in the hands
of Constable Walls. 1t is understood
Mr.. Lovejoy will surrender, waive a
hearing and ask the court to fix the
amount of his bail.
The fact that only two warrants
were issued Wednesday does not mean
that more will not be issued. The
others will be issued Thursday.
At 2:9O Wednesday afternoon Secre-
tary Lovejoy, Leishman and Curry, of
the Carnegie Co., proceeded to the
courthouse and presented themselves to
Judge Ewing, asking to be admitted to
bail. No warrants had been served on
either of the three up to this time. The
court refused to hear the cases of Love-
joy, Leishman and Curry, telling them
to go and deliver themselves up, as did
Mr. O'Donnell and Ross.
Alderman King was sent for, and it
is the purpose of the men to surrender.
A Homestead special says that Yard
master Dovey has just been arrested by
Constable Stewart on the Rharge of
murder.
