SENTINEL TO BE TRIED
FOR KILLING A STRIKER

pOTTSvILLE. Pa, Oct. 13.-Private
wadsworth, of Company A, Eighteenth
Regiment, will have to stand trial in the
Schuylkill county courts on the charge
of killing William Durham. a striker,
on October 9. The coroner's jury today
rendered verdict that the shooting was
hasty and unjustifiable.
District ATTORNEY Mclaughlin was in
formed of the verdict here this morn
ing. and said that he would at once take
under consideration measures to secure
the custody of Wadsworth. 1t is expect
ed the military authorities will refuse
to deliver him up, but the civil authori-
ties will proceed under the section OF
the United States laws which provide
that when the courts are open and in un-
obstructed exercise of their jurisdiction
military officers cannot interfere. unless
martial law is proclaimed. The evil
dence showed that Durham passed the
guard line. and refusing to obey the
order to halt, was shot.
The strikers made gains today. and the
Reading Company made no effort to
start any additional collieries. Twenty
non-union men quit work at Lincoln col
liery and seventeen at Brookside.

vicious Interpretation of law was made
not because of any precedent or exist
ing statutes, but in defiance of them.
This astounding attempt to intimi-
date and persecute the miners will
meet with prompt resistance. We have
employed Attorneys James and Charles
B. Lannahan, and at the first attempt
to hold prisoner in the bullpen with
out trial a writ of habeas corpus will
be taken out, and the legality of the
action will be fully tested.
1.-THE governor has evidently arrogated
TO himself the right to make and exc
cute an emergency law at the behest OF
the coal trust.
ANY attempt to thrust bayonets
through the laws and constitution will
evoke mighty protest from the people.
