CONFESSED MURDERER
TELLS OF HIS CRIME.
WYATT HAIRLESS SAYS HE KILLED
MISS MAUD PAILEN. THEN
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
SAYS 1T WAS THE GIRLS WISH.
TALK OF LYNCuING HAS BEEN
ABANDONED AND LAW WILL
TAKE IT'S COURSE.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 12.-The
correspondent has just returned from
Brownstown. where he saw Wyatt Har-
less. the young nan who ten days ago
shot and killed his sweetheart. Miss
Maude Pauley. and then made al un-
successful attempt to take his own life,
and got from him the first public state
flent he has made of the tragic affair.
The young man was found at the
home of his father. In bed, with his head
bound up and his eyes covered, for II
is still a question whether the sight OF
the one least damaged can be preserv-
ed. He was perfectly rational. as he
has been most OF the time since the
shooting. and can recognize the voice
of anyone with whom he is we'll ac-
quainted. He showed no ~indisposition
to talk. and readily answered questions
addressed to him.
"Maude and | had made up our minds
that we would die together" said he
rand the time set for ii was the even
ing before the day the attempt was
made. ] went for her that evening, but
there were some young lady friends oil
hers calling on her at the time. and she
could not go. Next evening. however
We went. We walked up the creek some
distance past the bridge. and as we
came back Maude said: the bridge is
as good a place as any II we went
up on IL and sat down. | sat down first
and she sat down beside me. We talked
about ten minutes. and then | took my
pistol out inc shot her. according to
our agreement, and with her consent. ]

| didn't succeed.
I'VE were the best of friends. had not
quarrelel. and | had nothing to Kill
her for except that we had agreed thai
we would both die together. She was
as good a girl as | yer knew, and as
virtuous as a child. | wrote the note
found in my hat myself, but with her
consent"
The bullet which Hairless fired into
his own head entered the right temple
on a line with the eyebrow and came
out about three inches above the cor
ner of the left eyebrow. 1t cut the
cord of the right eye, which hangs out
on the cheek. the sight gone entirely
There is hope for saving the left eye
md he will be brought here as soor
as 1t is safe to 10 him, for an op-
GRAFTON.
There was a good deal of talk about
lynching, but that has about blown
bver, and. although there are few who
take any stock In the idea that the
girl was cognizant OF Hairless intention,
IT. Is now believed that the law Will be
Ss{owed to take its course.
A peculiar thing in connection with
the matter is that although the Pelleys
lived within four hundred yards OF the
place Of the shooting, and on the same
lot with the Harnesses, the girls father
was not informed OF the killing until
an hour and a half after 1t had oc-
CURED.

officials DO Not Wish to Talk.
The third day of the contest between
the Amalgamated Association and the
United States Steel Corporation has
been comparatively a quiet n here.
The mill officials worked all night
and produced about sixty tons OF steel.
The usual product of the works ranges
from $50 to 500 tons Of steel billets.
The engines were mostly in charge of
salaried officials holding high positions
in the works here and at Mingo.
The men were shifted from one de-
partment to another in order to finish
the product before it became chilled.
The following resume will Indicate the

H I APPEAL.

LIE MUM = al G1AA.
ITO the members of organized
labor, Brethren:-As you are I'M
loubtedly aware the United States
Steel Corporation are now waging a
war against organized labor by
making the Amalgamated Associa-
ton the subject on which to begin
operations. At our last convention
it was unanimously decided to ask
the United States Steel Corporation
when settling their annual scale
with the Amalgamated Association,
that they sign or recognize the
scale of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton in all their mills. When the
matter was preached, the matter
was peremptorialy refused. After
the holding of several conferences
the demand of u organization
was modified so as to take in only
the mills Of three Of their constitu-
ent companies, viz: The Ameri-
can Sheet Steel Company, the
American FIN Plate Company, and
the American Steel Hoop Company
where local lodges had been form
ed, and where the men were very
desirious of being union men, and
we are now out on strike for recog-
milton.
In the conferences which were
held by the representatives Of the
United States Steel Corporation
and the Amalgamated Association,
the representatives of the United
States Steel Company's only argu-
ments we're that they did not desire
the Amalgamated Association to be-
come too powerful, and that they
should hold the balance of the pow
er. Later conferences were held
with the heads of the United States
Steel Company who submitted a
proposition that we only sign for
the mills signed last year, with the
exception Of the sheet mills in
Salisbury and Scottdale, which were
signed for the year previously.
Their proposition was rejected, as 1t
meant that the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION would merely have to re-
main in a q~uiescent state, While
they were expanding and adding to
their non-union possessions.
They are waging a fight for the
determination of the Amalgamated
Association and for the working
men to combine, a principle, which
they have demonstrated to the peo-
pIe of the United States, they desire
themselves, and so persistently re-
fuse to grant us. This blow is not
alone directed at the Amalgamated
Association, but at organized Ia
Dor in general and should they
succeed in defeating the Amalga-
mated Association it will AFFECT
every organized body in the United
States.
To succeed in this struggle it VIII
be necessary to seek the aid OF ev-
ery organized body as well as the
general public, whose sympathies
we know are with us in the present
struggle. To this end We ask hat
O give us your more than finan-
cial aid. A liberal response imam
cially will materially assist US in
conducting a victorious campaign
for a principle which is the una
lienable right Of every American
freeman.
II you desire to aid the Amalga-
mated Association in the present
struggle financially, all money
should be forwarded to John Will
liams, Secretary-treasurer, Bisseil
block, Pittsburg, Pa.
Fraternally yours,
T. ]. SHAFFER.

Wheeling Is a storm centre of a great
social and business struggle. A great
combination OF capital is in conflict
with a mighty host of associated la
Dor. It is a battle for supremacy-man
against ~money-and each side has given
notice that no quarter will be given.
On one side is the United States.
Steel Corporation with 81. 900, 90. 900 in
capital stock, 10000 stockholders and n
war fund of 5000, 0o0. 900. On the
other side is the Amalgamated Assoela-
ton OF Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
with a capital stock Of muscle. Drawn
and intelligence. about 100. 900 members
and a nominal war fund outside of the
support of Its working members In in-
dependent mills. and that of %sympathiz-
ers in other labor organizations, which
may compromise the 100000 men who
W allegiance to the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor.
In the preliminary skirmishes. the
Aaughlin tin plate mills, the LaBelle
tin plate mills and Aetna Standard plant
we're captured and held. The other side
made no move. There were conferences
Sbetween the generals of the opposing
forces at which propositions and
ter propositions were made for pre-
venting a general engagement. At n
final conference of the commanders 1t
was stated by Mr.. Schwab that the only
possible end to the conflict was the
driving of the Amalgamated Association
from the mills controlled by the United
States Steel Company.
Then the A~malgamated moved up the
main column, and last Saturday night
assaulted the enemy In its works. All the
other local mills OF the great corporation
were stormed. The Riverside plate mill,
and then the Riverside National Tube
Works were captured and are held un-
der guard. The Riverside Steel mill
was moved on yesterday, but not cap
tured, as the men there will not strike
at present, and the Siege will con-
tinue.
The Bellaire steel plant-a very
strong ~position-was attacked on
Sunday evening, and about two-thirds
| OF It's garrison captured by the Amalga-
mated men. But the plant will not sur
(render, and 1t is thought a relieving
force will soon reach 1t.
None Of the managers had a word to
say for publication yesterday as to their
intentions. The local National Tube
officials state that President Frank j..
Hearne of the company Is the only per-
son who has authority to speak for
It, and that gentleman also states that
the manufacturers are keeping cool and
letting the other side do the talking.
There are persistent rumors that car
loads of men are coming to take the
place of the strikers, but none OF these
have materialized thus far. The Associ-
! alton men have pickets out on all rail-
way lines and about the mills.
Independent mills, as the wheeling
Steel ar Iron Works, the LaBelle Iron
Works and others in this vicinity, are
unaffected and will without doubt re-
main so.
The real struggle is anticipated when
the employers bring in new men to OPP
crate the plants, but there Is a strong
conservative element among the AS
sociation men that is opposed to any
violation of law or civil rights.

President Shaffer said: I'VE

the situation in the west. | do
not believe Vice President Davis,
OF Chicago, has accepted a super
lntendency from the trust as re-
ported. My only regret is that

strikers. | will not take any part
IN calling out the American Fed

has not lost anything but has made
gains"
Secretary Williams said: Il
think the greatest surprise Of the
strike will come to the steel Off
Gals when they find we have in
vaded the Carnegie plant. We
have reliable reports to the effect
that the Lower city mill is tied up

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-08-13

PIrTSBURG, Pa, August 1.-THE
struggle for mastery between manufaet-
urers and men in the steel industry is
now fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage Is with the
former.
The general strike order issued by
President Shaffer, of the ~Amalgamated
Association, has so far been obeyed by
only about $4,000 men according to the
best figures obtainable here. The first
two preliminary calls were answered by
about As, 900 men so that the total num-
Der now out is in the n~elghborhood of
60. 900.
The strikers made gains here to-day
over the showing of last night and their
prospects for further accessions at both
MeKeesport and Wheeling during the
week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men
at Chicago, Joliet and Bay View in re-
fusing to come out and their failure to
secure any recruits in the Carnegie
group, throughout the Kiskiminetas
valley, and the big plants at Youngs-
town and Columbus, Ohio, have been
markedly disappointing to them. They
are keeping up the fight, however, in a
sF..ited manner and claim that they
have strength in reserve which will sur
Prise their opponents.
They assert that they have gained a
foothold in the Carnegie mills in this
city and at the time desired the men
Will come out. They are pressing their
advantages at McKeesport and Wheel
ing and their organizers are still at
work in those two cities. President
Siaffer has decided to
Personally Visit Wheeling
and will go there Wednesday to adj
tess & mass meeting of his followers.
He plans to spend o-morrow here di-
2ecting the fight and comforting with
his assistants as to plans for the future.
An appeal for financial aid has been
made to organized labor and the gener-
al public and it is expected that the re-
| Sponses to it will be liberal. The
Amalgamated leaders were not disposed
10 do much talking to-day. They would
rot discuss the desertion of their west
eTu fellows, although Mr.. Shaffer made
what was evidently intended for a brief
reference to them in a short statement
he gave out at noon. Another declar-
ation in the same interview was re-
g3rGed as highly significant here. 1t
was to the effect that no effort would
be made to call u members OF the
American Federation of Labor and that
any action en- their part must be vol
urt2ry.
