DEMPSEY IS GUILTY.
The First Homestead Poisoning Case
Results in Conviction.


Pittsburg special: Hugh Y. Demp-
sey, district master workman of tho
Knights of Labor, was found guilty OF
administering poison with intent to
commit murder. To this end has come
the sensational trial for the alleged
poisoning of non-union laborers in the
Homestead mills at the time Of the
great lockout, which resulted, it is
claimed, in scores of deaths and
hundreds of cases of sickness. The jury
brought in verdict of guilty on the
first count-charging the defendant
with administering poison to w. L
Griffith.
When Dempsey heard the verdict the
color left his face and beads of per-
spiration stood out upon his forehead
With bowed head he left the court
room in company with Attorney
Porter. Once outside the doors
Dempsey was surrounded by crowd
OF sympathizers, prominent among
whom were several members of the
old advisory committee of the locked
out Homesteaders.
The extreme penalty of the crime
Of which Dempsey has been convicted
is fine OF $500 and 10 years imprison-
ment.

Dec. IS, 1885, and graduated from Har-
ward go years later. His theological
education was secured at the
seminary at Alexandria, Va, and
in 1859 he was ordained, his first
charge being the Church of the Advent,
in Philadelphia. In 1862 he took the
Church of the Holy Trinity in the same
city and in 1869 went to Trinity church
in Boston. Mr.. Brooks was noted for
his low church views, his commanding
physical presence, his power for good
especially among young men, and for
the extraordinarily rapid delivery of
his speech when preaching. lie de-
clined many calls, including pro-
fessorship at Harvard and the Office of
assistant bishop of Pennsylvania, and
until his appointment as the bishop of
Massachusetts, he preferred to remain
with his Boston parish.
Mr.. Brooks was regarded as one of
the most brilliant orators Of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church, and also as a
writer of many religious works. He
published Lectures on Preaching"
sermons" 1.-The Influence of Jesus"
and Baptism and Confirmation. As
a clergyman of the Episcopal church
Phillips Brooks was perhaps more
widely celebrated than any other; not
only at home but in England, where
he had experienced courtesies and re-
ceived distinctions never before vouch-
safed an American clergyman who had
not yet reached the rochet and lawn.
