THE JUDGE AGAINST THE MEN.
Judge Ewing said: ''This information Is
made by man who himsslf is charged with
murder and is now on bail. It would have
been better had It been made by some other
person. l think IL the story In the newspa-
pers is true none OF theinen charged in the
Information can be held for murder, and
certainly not in the first degree. The men
on the shore were there illegally, and unless
you can show there was malicious and de-
liberate killing there is no use OF wasting
any more time. The men on the barRes
were there legally, and others
were there illegally. There is no
equality between these two parties.
1t Is not very material who began the shoot-
ing. The men in the barges had right 20
use all necessary Iorce 10 MAINTAIN tner
rightful possession of the property. IL
there is a case here will hear it, but You
must show me soms willful aud uncalled for
killing. One Of these crowds was mob,
the other was there legally. You do not
stand in the same position. 1 take your
own statements and can see no parallel
CASE The people on the bank were in the
wrong from the start. II this Is case Of
retaliation / would like to know It,"
TWO ARRESTED AT HOMESTEAD.
Messrs Dovey and McConnsll wsrs ar
rested yesterday by Constable Stewart and
brought to Pittsburg, but up to a late hour
tonight the trio had not reached the Jail
1t is PROBABLE that they will remain in the
custody Of the constable and present then-
selves at the court in the morning. Supt.
Potter has not yet been arrested. 1t is not
at all probable that he will surrender him
self until tomorrow, as 1t would necesSi
tate remaining In jail over night.
