Luckie has been released on $4,000 bail,
but the decision in this case will not apply
to Hugh O'Donnel and the rest of the
strikers for whom warrants have been
issued but who have failed to surrender,
aud all of them will be compelled to take
their innings before tue court. Jndge Ma

this morning by laboring mon o. this city
and Homestead. and Burgess McLuckis:
who was brought scross the Bridge OF
sighs" from tho county Jail and placed in
the prisoners box, held something ap-
proaching levee until Judge Magse. who
was accompanied by Judge Porter. took his
seat upon the bench.
II had been anticipated that counsel for
the Carnegies would resist the application to
give McLuckie his liberty, aud there were,
consequently, many murmers OF surprise
when. 90 soon as the case was called, Dis-
trot Attorney Burleigh arose and said, that
having carefully gone through the evidence
with tho associate counsel for the state,
he conceded that MoLuckie was entitled TO
his liberty. Inssmuoh. however. as the OF:
Tense was one of considerable gravity. and
in view Of the present situation in the To-
cality. he felt justified in asking that the
bail should DO ample.

consequences whether they be destruction
of property or life. Where life Is DESTROYED
he becomes answerable in the degree Of

whether il DO first or second degree.
But II the Commonwealth wishes 10
make any OF these cases those OF tho
first degree IL will have 70 show wilful
premeditation. On behalf of the defense.
Attorney Cox suggested that the decision
IN McLuckie's case should govern all the
rest of the accused men. IN order that they
might surrender and give bail. Neither the
district attorney nor the Judge. however.
were willing To oonoede this much. The
former said that the other men were. so Tar:
