FREED At Los ANGELES
Three Am srican Railway Union
Leaders Released From
Prison.
Pardoned by President Cleveland
After Nearly a Year of
Captivity.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 9.-The de-
termined and persistent efforts of organ
lied labor of Southern CalifI mia in be-
half of Philip Stanwood, William H. Clune
and Isaac Ross. convicted of OBTAINING
the United States mails here during the
railway strike of 1894. confined in the Los
Angeles County Jail. have been crowned
with success.
Scores of petitions had gone to the ex-
ecutive department. of the Government {
at Washington without producing the
slightest result. The last petition was
given in charge OF Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent OF the National Federated Trades,
and was addressed to the Department of
Justice. This petition seems TO have bee n
effective and to-day an order for the re-
lease of these men reached this city, the
President pardoning all of them.
The pardoned men had been in Jail here
fof nearly year, after a memorable trial
in the United States District Court, Judge
Ross presiding. The sentence he i'm posed
had afterward been confirmed by the
Supreme Court. The sentence was fine
of 81 and eighteen months in the County
Jail of Los Angeles County
The men were all mem bers OF the Ameri-
can Railway Union, Stanwood being presi-
dent of the local lodge of the order. They
were employees of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company as trainmen, and
were pursued with relentless rigor until
convicted. Their guilt, if guilty at all,
consisted of constructive" obstruction
of the United States mails in refusing
to handle trains partly made up of Pull
man cars, although it was then and is now
well known that no mail OF any descrip-
too was ever carried on Pullman car.
None OF these men took part in any
overt act against the road or any empIoye,
and their sentence for sconstructiye'' guilt
is probably without parallel in the his
tory OF Jurisprudence in the United States.

able to get away after the killing.
The ten Chinese under arrest testified
