AlteT blc testimony nad been printed on
atype-writer it was read to him, and he
signed it in the presence Of witnesses.
After making the confession the cook
begged that he should not be placed in
Jail, and his wishes were complied with.

III The employ Of the firm night and day.
A BODY EXnrMED
Charles CLOSER died two weeks after
going 70 Homestead. II is said that since
the confession made by the cook the body
was eNhumed and the stomach submitted
to a chemist for analysis. The result of
the analysis is not known, but it is said
the chemists report will be submitted in
evidence when the case comes up for trial.
reporter called upon Mr.. Frick to
learn if possible the Carnegies account of
the crime, but that gentleman positively
refused to be interviewed.
THE STORY PRONOUNCED RIDICULOUS.
At Homestead the story was pronounced
ridiculous.
II. !. Breck, Esq, counsel for the Carnegie
Steel Company, Limited, was seen tonight
and confirmed the story of the poisoning.
He says his information is that at least six
deaths resulted from poisoning.
Homestead druggist and physician are
implicated. The powder was given to
dog and it died in few minutes num-
Der Of arrests will probably be made in
few days. Coroner Mcdowell has not vet
been notified: He will 80 TO Homestead
Tomorrow, however, To investigate the
cause of the death of Isaac Jures, who
died suddenly about two weeks ago. Juries
was witness in the Critchlow case. The
coroner is of the opinion that death was
due to alcoholism.
PITTsRuRG, Dec. .12.--Informatinns are to
be made shortly against persons implicated
in thealleged poisoning plot against Home
stead steel-wOrkers and sensational devcl-
opments are expected AS yet the attorneys
for the Carnegie Steel Company are reticcnt
as the publication came h.fore their plans
had fully matured.
The alleged conspirac was the principal
topic of discussion here to-day, The
strikers discredit the story and claim they
are being persecuted, while counsel for
the Carnegles asserts that they will be able
to substantiatc the charge.
KNEW NOTHING or 1T.
Secretary Killgallon, of the Amalga-
mated Association, was seen this morning.
He said: ''fhe idea that the Amagamated
Association would take part in such n plot
is prepoSterOuS. do not know this man
Beatty and never heard of him before. /
assure you the Amaigamated Association
has had nothing whatever to do with this
case in any shape or form.n
SECRETARY BREcK TALKS.
Secretary Breck, one Of the attorneys
for Carnegie, was averse to talking on the
subject but finally said
THE idea as to Beattv's statement in
Louisville, that he was arrested to prevent
his testifying who fired the first shot on the
morning of the riot is nonsense. He was
arrested because Of his completely in the
poisoning plot and he knows it.
"rhe company" he added, sis gathering
more evidence against the leaders, and
every day adds something to the chain
being forged around them We think our
case will be made the strongest by few
days waiting. We are sure none will es-
cape"
ADVISORY BOARD HAD NOTHING TO no WITH 1T.
William II. Caches, treasurer of the ad-
visory board, came down from Homestead
to-day, and, in an interview, said The
charge that any members of the advisory
board was n party to any plot to poison
non-union men is as false as 1t is ridicu.
lous. 40 sane man will believe that any
member of the advisory committee clothed
in his right mind, would enter into such
plot. Murder will always ont, and this
fact alone would prevent even the hot
headed men i'll our ranks from entering
into Il conspiracy with men like Beatty, of
whom very little is known in Homestead.
If poison was administered to the nom
union men--and | do not believe there
was-the guilty parties were in no Way
connected with the lockedo ont men Some
individual may have done it, but you can
rest assured lie did not act in accordance
with instructions from the advisory com
mittee. If anyone mad come to the COM
nittee with such II plan of getting the
non-unionsts ont of the mill, he would
have fared badly at the hands of the
lockcd-out men.
Hugh O'Donnell was seen in the county
Jail. lie said he did not believe any Home
stead man was Il party to such vilainous
conspiracy, that if any non-unionsls had
been poisoned the drug had not been adj
ministered by any of the locked-Gut men.
Mr.. ODonnel told Mr. Caches who called
upon him this morning, that it was the
duty of every union man to assist the
Carnegie officials to investigate tho matter
thoroughly.
