the virden Riots.
st. Louis. Dec. IA special to the
Republic from Carlinville. Ill. says:
The Virden riot grand jury made its
final report to Judge r. b. Shirley at
$50 this evening. Judge Shirley came
down from Springfield. where he was
holding court. and held a short half
hour session to receive this report. The
grand jury dealt pointedly with the af-
fair as far as II was able to ascertain,
and returned true bills against the par
ticipants in the tragedy of Oct. 12 at
virden. Ten indictments. Involving 54
persons, were returned. Against John
II. Tanner. governor OF Illinois. there
are three counts for palpable omission
Of duty and malfeasance In office. Fred
w. Lukins, general manager OF the
Chicago-Virden Coal company, IL
charged with manslaughter on two
counts.
With Lukins his deputies. Frank will
der. ]. Z. Sickles and J. II. Smith. are
indicted for the killing of Joseph Git
terele. a Mount Olive miner. Sixteen
Thiel guards are held for riot.
In the indictments against Governor
Tanner the complaining witnesses are
John Graham, Will Mitchell. william
Stewart. employees of the Chicago-Vir-
den Coal company. They testified that
they were intimidated and prevented
from performing their legitimate en-
ployment by an armed body of men
numbering 1000. who unlawfully and
feloniously were assembled in Virden:
that the governor had been notified by
the sheriff of Macoupin county that no
protection was to be had from the
county and was earnestly importuned
for state assistance.
Judge Shirley fixed Governor Tan
ner's bond at $500.
A. J. Roberts. the foreman of the
grand jury. who was also foreman of
the coroner's jury. Is a Virden police
magistrate. He was strongly opposed
to indfcting Governor Tanner. In each
of the indictments against Governor
Tanner the omission of duty was iden-
tical-faiiure and refusal to respond to
the call OF Sheriff Davenport
sof this county for military aid in sup
pressing the riotous demonstrations Of
the Virden coal miners. The -indict-
ments were, in brief. as follows.
First-Failure and refusal to send
troops to aid the sheriff in checking the
actions OF a thousand or more men who
were preventing certain persons
from entering on their duties In the
service of the Chicago-Virdeu Coal
Mining company
Second-Failure and refusal to send
troops on the call of the sheriff to pre-
vent the same men from doing bodily
violence to the same would-be employees.
Three-Failure and refusal to send
troops to aid the sheriff in preventing
the same rioters from conspiring and
combining to do injury to the would-be
employees.

Tanner Refused to Talk.

Springfield. ILL.,. Dec. 1.--When Cow
ernor Tanner was informed this even
ing of the action of the grand jury at
Carlinville he received the news with
Indifference and manifested no inter-
est in the particulars. He was asked
for an expression in regard to the mat
ter. but declined to talk about II, sim
ply saying that he did not consider II
worth while to discuss the subject.
Attorney General Atkin was asked TO
give his opinion regarding the legal ef-
feet OF the action. in view of the sup
posed fact that the chief executive of
a state cannot be proceeded against in
that way and cannot be prosecuted upon
the indictment returned. but he de-
clined to say anything about the mat
ter further than that he had not pre-
viously heard of the action taken by the
grand jury. and was not aware that
such action was contemplated.
