THE INDUsTRIALs' LETTER.
Last evening representatives of the
confined Industrisls called at the
HERALD Office and requested the publ
cation of an open letter to Judge Ross.
The letter was signed by 172 OF the pris.
oners and reads as follows:
Los ANGELES COUNTY JAIL,
Los ANGELES, Cal, June Is, 1894.|
Hon. Erskine M. Ross. District Judge Southern
District of California;:
SIR The undersigned respectfully
represent that this day they were ad-
judged to be in contempt of an order of
the court, and q penalty of four months'
imprisonment imposed on us respective
ly; but before judgment was rendered
it was stated by the court that it had
received letter threatening violence
and murder by the use OF dynamite,
which letter reads as follows: You
send one of the Industrial army to Jail
and you will get some dynamite. By
order Of K"
We take this means of insisting upon
the discovery Of the person who wrote
the letter, and we urge that he be pros
ecuted to the full extent of the law. We
also most respectfully protest against
the use the court made OF the letter to
prejudice our cause in the opinion of our
fellow men. We believe and insist that
this is "a country and government of
law and order, and that remedy for
real or imaginary wrongs ana griev-
ances here can only by had by lawful
means" We 'call attention to the
matter that the people may see to what
extent the existence of bad laws, the
lax administration of good ones, and
absence of others that ought to be en-
acted. lead" and we unhesitatingiy say
that such conditions as breed contempt
for bad laws, the lax administration of
good ones and the absence of others we
wish enacted have led to and resulted
in our imprisonment.
ATTEMPT TO RELEASE THEM.
]. Marion Brooks, the attorney for the
Industrialists, last night prepa red a pc
titlon for rule of the circuit court OF
appeals to United States Marshal Covar-
rubias to show cause why writ of
habeas corpus should not be issued, un-
der the practice of the United States
courts. When a writ of habess corpus
issues it is permanent and final and the
petitioners are discharged from custody.
The petition will be heard by Judges
MoKenna and Morrow, at San Francisco.
and will be presented to them next
Monday by Mr.. Brooks, who will leave
for San Francisco tomorrow for that
purpose.
The defendants are very remarkable
body OF men, every one of them being
able to read and write. The petition
that will be presented to the circuit
court of appeals will DO remarkable in
this respect, az the ITO names to the
petition show more than average intel
ligence.
