RIOTERS CONVICTED.
More Than Half OF the Fifty y-eight Mans
field Miners Found Guilty.

hNAa AAAhtAa a1AAAJa
PITTsBURG, Feb. 17.-The fate of the 5s
Mansfield coal region rioters has been de-
cided. At the opening Of court the judge
delivered his charge, and the jury retired.
The judge was very severe on the defend
ants
He said; MANY persons think that a
strike excuses the commission of any
crime. Mobs and riots are usually COM
posed Of a small proportion Of knaves and
a large proportion of fools. That is the
case here. The knaves kept in the back
ground. Not a single American citizen
was in this mob, so far as the testimony
goes, but no prejudice against foreigners
should weigh with you. They should,
however be taught to obey our laws.
THE defense of alibi is looked on with
suspicion by courts. 1t is the rogue's de-
fense. It is the easiest defense manufac-
tured. IL Is not an honest mans defense
except under peculiar circumstances"
Late last night the jury sent in a sealed
verdict. The exact wording of the verdict
cannot be obtained, but it is reliably
known that IS Of the 5s defendants are con.
victed of riot as charged.
