Judge Tustin says: II am a new

FUSION MOVEMENT

In Its report of the meeting the Re .
public says on the question of fusion:
There was a good deal of talk among the
committeeman and visiting politicians in re-
gard to the question of fusion with the popu-
lists, and from an outside source an effort was
made to have it appear that the popuiists will
demand one place on the state ticket as the only
term upon which a fusion can be effected. The
committee, recognizing that it has no power To
act on this question, did not it Is said, discuss
it. 1t is matter that can only be decided by
the convention, and hence it was deemed best
not to cross this bridge until it is reached.
There is a difference of opinion as to whether
there should be u fusion the state ticket,
and judging from those who attended yester-
days meeting, the sentiment is not favorable
to splitting up the state ticket with the popu-
lists, and it does not appear that any consider
nble number of popuIists arr expecting as
much.
The committee, however, deemed it advisable
to recognize the national free silver party, and
recommend united action with it in opposition
to the single gold standard when joint recon-
mendations are offered by the properly-conSti-
tuted authorities of that iparty. AMI this was
only adopted at the end OF long debate

WuKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. Slime
Ease of Sheriff James Martin and ms
80 deputies, charged with murder ana
felonious wounding of a score OF strlk-
ing miners, at Latimer, this county.
September 10 last, will be called Tor
trial in the criminal court next Tues
day, February 1. 1t is expected that
the trial will last q week and 1t may
be longer before verdict is reached.
Able counsel have been employed on
both sides. District Attorney Martin
will be assisted in the prosecution by
John NJ. Carman. chairman of the DEM
ocratic state committee, and John Nc
Gahsin. They are employed by the
relatives of the men who were killed.
John Il. Lenahan, one OF the leading
criminal lawyers of this section of the
state, will be the senior counsel for the
defense The first battle will be over
the selection of jury. More than 100
witnesses have been summoned, but
not all of them will be heard.
The commonwealth will claim that
the strikers were only exercising their
rights as American freemen when
they marched on the public highway
unarmed. 1t will be contended that
offered no personal violence to anyone,
and that they were not bent on de-
stroying property. The lawyers Tor
the prosecution will quote decisions
from the higher courts to show that
such body of men had right to
move on the public highways while
engaged in a peaceful mission.
On the other hand, counsel for the de-
Tense will charge that the strikers were
riotous that they were armed, and that
their intention was to destroy prop
erty. They will call witnesses to show
that the people living in tho strike dis
trIct were fearful for their lives and
that some of them moved away for
safety. 1t will also be shown that the
sheriff had come in conflict with the
strikers ut Hazleton on the morning of
September 10 and that he then and
there warned them by reading the riot
act that they were violating the law
and that they should dispense and go
to their homes. Instead of accepting
this advice they jeered the of.
fcer of the law and pro-
ceeded on their march to Latimer.
The Latimer mine was in operation,
the employees had no grievances, so
far as known, and it will be averred
the only object the strikers could have
had in going there was TO intimidate
the men. The owners of the mine had
appealed to the sheriff to protect their
property, and in attempting to do his
sworn duty In the matter, his deputies
came in conflict with the strikers and
bloodshed was the result. The de-
Tense will contend that this was the
most natural thing in the world, and
that under the circumstances it would
be a travesty of justice to hold the Off
GERS of the law guilty of murder.
