TIE PITTsBURG BURGLARS.
Partially Identified as the Men who
Killed Grocer Kahney.


Pittsburg, April 16.-The real names
Of the two men who are suspected Of
the Mount Washington murder and the
killing Of Detective p. E. Fitzgerald
have been discovered to be Edward
and John Biddle, instead of Wright,
the name they gave the police. They
are brothers Of Harry G. Biddle, OF
Knoxville, and of William Biddle, a
Consolidated Traction company con-
ductor. William Biddle was arrested
yesterday just after he had resigned
his job on the traction road prepara-
tory, the detectives thought, to leav-
ing the city. He had in his possession,
the officers say, goods that he admit
ted getting from his brother.
The most important development in
the case yesterday was the identifica-
tion of Robert Wilcox and Jack" Bid
die, alias Wright, by Mrs. Thomas d.
Kahney and her son. wife and son Of
the murdered grocer. Mrs. Kahney
said that while they tailed exactly
with the men who stood at the foot of
her bed when her husband was shot
she would prefer to see them fully
dressed before she would make q posi-
tive statement. Her son Earl, IL years
old, had no hesitation in picking out
the two men.

IMPORTANT TO LABOR UNIONS.
Penn"yivnntn's Supreme Court Sus-
tnins the Decision Of an Allegheny
County Court in . Case Against
Members Of GlasswOrkers' Union.

Philadelphia, April 16.-The supreme
SQUIRT, in an opinion by Justice Brown,
yesterday continued the injunction
granted by common pleas court No 2
OF Allegheny county restraining the
Interference by officers Of trade unions
with apprentices. The title OF the case
Is Charles l.. Flaccus against w. j.
Smith. NJ Branin. John Kunzler, w
j. Glare, T. w. Rowe, p. J. Skelly and
J. d Beatty.
Flaccus is proprietor OF glass works
at Tarentum, Allegheny county In
1884 he established his factory on an
Independent basis, stipulating that en-
ployes should not be connected with a
labor union. Flaccus declares that the
appellants, who are connected with the
American Flint Glassworkers' union,
enticed number OF his employees to
JOIN their organization. Flaccus Sc
cured an injunction from the Allie
gheny county court, and in the opin-
lon sustaining that injunction Judge
Brown says:
"The appellee had an unquestioned
right, in the conduct oe his business
to employ wOrkmen who were indie
pendent Of any labor union, and he had
the further right to adopt a system OF
apprenticeship which excluded his ap-
prentices from membership in such
union. He was responsible to no ons
for his reasons in adopting such a sys-
TEN, and no one had right to inter
fcre with it to his prejudice or injury.
Such an interference with it was an
interference with his business, and. II
unlawful, cannot be permitted. The
court found that the interference was
Injurious to him, and, If allowed to
Continue, would utterly ruin his busi-
ncaf. The damages resulting from such
an injury are incapable of ascertaining
at law, and justice demands that spe-
cific relief be furnished in a court Of
equity"

New York, April l6.-Polics Captain
Josiah A. Westervelt, in command at
the Charles street station house, was
served late yesterday with a summons
Hirecting him to appear before Magis-
1rate Cornell in police court today. The
summons was served by w. H. Broder-
lex, chief OF the county detective staff,
and was from the district attorneys
Office. 1t was obtained by Assistant
District Attorney Schurman from Mag
istrate Cornell few hours before.
The formal complainant against the
captain Is John X. Wood. a detective
for the Tammany committee of five.
The formal basis for the charge rose
ont OF the raid of the committee Of
nve on the Parole club en- Dey street
several weeks ago. Wood was the de-
tective who obtained most Of the evil
deucc which led to the raid. OF tho
SO men caught in this raid eight were

The conclusion reached by District
Attorney PhIbiN and his assistants is
'hat a police official who knowingly
permits a disorderly house or gambling
place to exist in his precinct, even
though he has not been apprised of the
existence of the places referred to by
citizen, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The procedure against Captain Wes-
c.Fe.t IS entirely new. If Magistrate
Cornell thinks that the complaint in
the cHse has been sustained by the
prosecuting officer he can hold the cap
tain Tor trial before the court of spe-
Clal sessions, which is presided over
by three justices. The punishment
provided for by the code in case OF a
conviction is that the person convicted
shall be imprisoned for period not
exceeding one year or fine Of not ex-
Ceeding $500 or both
The summons served upon Captain
Westervelt docs not make it impera-
live for him to appear in court. In ef-
feot it is nothing more or less than an
Invitation for him to present himself
before the court. He may decline to
do so If he sees fit
II is stated, however. that IL he pur-
sues this course, then, upon a new
statement Of facts and the presentation
OF an affidavit to the court by COM
arrest could follow. Captain Wester-
welt said last night that he did not
know of any reason why he should not
apDear in court.

TAYUOR'S STATEMENT

Frankfort. Ky. April 1.-THE trial
Of Garnet Ripley. charged with CON-
plicity In the assassination Of william
Goebel. was resumed yesterday. Put
upon the witness stand. Ripley did not
deny that he made the statements At
tributed to him BY Ex-Governor Brad
ley and Judge w. H. Yost concerning
Ex-Governor Taylor's remarks to him.
but said that while he thought that
they were substantially correct in their
evidence they had misunderstood him
or he had failed to convey the proper
impression on them at the time.
Ex-Governor Bradley and Judge Yost
will not be recalled as witnesses, and
the jury will have to decide as to
whether they or the defendant is cor
rect as to Ripley's statement OF the
Taylor incident.
Ripley stated that he had never
known Governor Taylor till that day,
and never saw him but once after that
(Jan. 25) till after his company was
called out. He said he never knew
Powers or Youtsey till some days after
the shooting; never saw Berry How
ard at all; had seen Jim Howard only
since they had been in Jail together,
and never knew either Culton or Whar-
ton Golden. Taylor gave him the order
Jan. Is for the organization Of the
company and on Jan. rs Ripley came
here and secured equipments for It.
This was the day on which he had the
conversation with Taylor, and his ver-
sion of it, which varies materially from
that stated by Messrs. Bradley and
Yost, was as follows:
Il went into the governors Office
and found Governor Taylor looking
very badly. | told him | was sorry to
sec him looking badly, to which he re-
piled in substance: In these horrible
times anybody would look bad. Some
irresponsible fool or crank Is likely to
kill me or Goebel, and cause riot
around here in which there will be
many lives sacrificed Then told him
l did not think this would occur, and
went on talking to him about my COM
pany, which l was getting equipments
for. My God, said he, haven't you
got that company ready YETI That
was what I was trying to tell Governor
Bradley and Judge Yost, but l may not
have stated it to them as clearly as ]
intended to-"
Ripley denied that he ever said to
Ferguson and Crawford that Goebel
would be killed, but admitted that he
warned w. P. Thorne on Jan. 20 to
keep his son away from Frankfort,
claiming he did 30 because OF the dis.
turbed conditions here. and not from
any knowledge Of what was going to
occur the next day. He maintained
that there was no secrecy about the or.
ganization and equipment Of his COM
pany, and said that Governor Taylor
told him that It was not necessary to |
apply to the county judge for authority |
to organize it. The company, he said
was organized for pleasure.
Witness said he received a special
delivery letter from Governor Taylor
late in the afternoon Of Jan. 30 or.
dering the company out. The letter did
not state that Goebel had been shot
and did not give the reason for calling
them out.
