week since. Three years ago
Dempsey was sentenced to seven
years IN the penitentiary, having
been convicted of completely in
the poisoning of non-union men
in the Homestead mill after the
strike of 1892. Beatty and GAL
lagher, who are now in prison,
testified against him, but, Gala
CHER has since said that his ties
timony was false. There was
no doubt about a poisoning con
spiracy, scores of men having
been made i'll by croton oil that
was put in their food, many of
them dying, but there was room
for doubt as to the part Dempsey
had in it. H. G. Prick wrote a
letter to the board of pardons,
saying he would not oppose the
pardon of Dempsey if it were
given as an act of clemency.
