Many of Them Refuse to Go
Back to Work.

Pittsburg, Sept. 16.-There was no

Analgamated headquarters was crowd
ed this morning with committees from
the different local mills and out Of town
plants anxious 10 learn the terms OF
the settlement of the big strike.
None have been officially notified that
the strike has been declared off and a
great deal Of indignation was express
ed by the different delegations on the
announcement made that President
Shaffer, who had arrived early would
see the committee from each mill sepa-
rately and explain the result of the
New York conference and the terms OF
settlement. From the sentiment of the
tin plate workers today they will not
return to work, but continue the strike
Dissatisfaction over the ending of the
strike on terms said to be 50 unfavora-

nearly all the plants in this district The
employees of Painters mill, of the Amer

will not return on the conditions i'm

that they viii remain out. The situation
at McKeesport was different There
was general rejoicing that the strike
had been settled. Five thousand men

PARDON FOR ASBELL.
Famous Murder Case Before Cover
nor Stanley.

Chief among the pardon applications
before Governor Stanley today is the
case of Marion AsbeH now serving d
life sentence for the murder OF his wife
in Labette county.
Governor Stanley gave a period to the
hearing Of the case this morning. and
then continued it until afternoon.
Col w B. Glass, for the petitioners
reviewed the history of the case, and
how the supreme court had twice de-
MED a new trial.
It was given out from Parsons be-
fore the delegation reached here that
the testimony Of a chief witness would
be impeached. Mrs. AsbelPs stepdaugh-
ter is now alleged to have admitted
that her testimony at the trial that her
stepfather had wronged her was given
under pressure, and that it was not
true.
This was not brought up at the pre-
liminary hearing of the pardon case
this morning. The discovery of the new
evidence to show that the revolver shot
was fired close to Mrs. Asbel's head,
supporting the suicide theory, and con
tradicting the evidence adduced at the
trial, was more dwelt upon
Governor Stanley informed the petit
toners that 1t was not his practice in
pardon cases to review the evidence
and reverse trial courts unless there
hand the hearing was continued till
after dinner, when both the new evil
dence will be submitted and further
allegations offered.
In the petitioning delegation are the
attorneys in the case, W. B. Glass,
Judge J. D. McCue, j. H. Creighton, Mel
son Case and Judge G. W. Hendricks;
also Lee McCfi1l, editor of the OSwegO
Independent, Register of Deeds Arch
Swanwick J. W. marley and B. f.
AsbelI, father of the prisoner.
Former County Attorney F. NJ.
Brady who tried the celebrated case,
and County Attorney ". S. Hyatt are
here opposing the pardon.
This afternoon DR. W. S. Liggett, who
was one Of the corps of physicians
which exhumed Mrs. Asbells body at
the time of the trial, gave a microscopic
demonstration of the new evidence be-
fore the governor. Portions OF the brain
were shown with powder marks and
hair attached that had been blown in
by the discharge of the pistol.
DR. Iiggett, strangely enough, was
not a witness in the trial There was
a mix-up of two Drs. Liggett. DIR. E.
E. Liggett was named in the informa-
ton, but was not competent to testify
as he had made no examination The
proper DR.. Liggett was not named in
the information and SO he could not
testify.
Asbell's defense claims the woman lay
down in the cellar and shot herself;
theory Opponents claim Asbell shot
her and carried her in the cellar, where
she was found.
Brady and Hyatt have a petition to
which the Murphy boys. brothers of the
murdered woman. secured 3S1 signers
last Saturday night to present, pleading
that the pardon be not granted
