Greason's petition contains some
startling charges as TO how his case
was juggled with while he was on trial,
and this feature has caused a sensa-
tion. Greason's appeal proceeds TO re-
view the various steps in his case, and
then says:
Kate Edwards now exonerates your
petitioner. but insists to her attorneys,
oliver Lentz and e. II. Deisher, that
inducements were held out to her, to
the effect that II she would tell the
truth by placing the responsibility Tor
the commission OF the crime upon
your petitioner, that leniency would
be shown to her by the officers of the
commonwealth when she would make
her APPLICATION before the board of par
dons for commutation OF sentence tC

"Your petitioner is further informed
that oliver Lentz and Abraham II
Rothermel, the district attorney went
TO see Kate Edwards with a view Of
ascertaining the truth as to the guilt
or innocence OF your petitioner. In
said interview with the said Kate Ed

and the then district attorney that she
should tell the truth. whereupon she
told the said Lentz and Rotherme
that she and her daughter, Mary, hac

COASTERS DASH INTO TRAIN
Three Persons Killed and TWO Dying
at New Briuhton Pa.

at New Brighton Pa.
New Brighton, Pa, Feb. 11.-A man
and two boys we're killed. two boys
are dying and three more were slightly
injured as the result of a bob-sled car
rying 16 boys dashing into a train. All
the others on the sled almost miracu-
lously escaped with hardly a scratch.
The dead: Reed H. Mcdaniel, who
was steering the sled. head cut open
and body cut to pieces; Charles Far
row. aged II years. skull crushed,
chest crushed and leg cut of, and
Merl SAVERS, aged 10 years, skull
crushed, lived 10 minutes.
The dying: Marvin Drury, aged Is
years, chest and skull crushed; Rob-
ert Farrow. aged years, skull frac-
tured, chest crushed, foot taken off.
The Sixth street hill was a glare Of
ice and was thronged with coasters.
Boys to watch for approaching trains
we're stationed at the railroad crossing
and saw the train coming They cried
10 the occupants Of the bob-sled to
stop, but their cries we're unheard in
time to stop the big sled. 1t was the
Beaver Falls accommodation into
which the sled dashed. It struck the
rear steps Of the second coach, break
ing them. The accounts Of the boys
who were on the sled and escaped in
Jury vary in the details of how the
accident occurred. Reed Mcdaniel was
guiding the sled, which came down
the hill at terrific speed, and it was
almost at the crossing when the train
dashed up. Not until then did the
coasters see their danger. The older
boys made frantic efforts to escape
by trying to capsie the sled. which
they succeeded in doing just as the
front struck the train.
Mcdaniel was hurled head foremost
between the cars, and the wheels
passed over his limbs and body. The
rear OF the sled. through the efforts of
the boys to upset it, swung around
broadside and struck the iron support
Of the safety gate on the corner with
great force. This hurled several Of the
boys into and under the wheels. Many
of the others on the sled the instant
they realized their danger threw them
selves OFF the sled, some OF them
grasping the smaller boys and pulling
them off as they themselves rolled to
safety.

ANOTHER LABOR UPHEAvAL
st. Petersburg Again Face to Face
With General Strike.

ct. Petersburg Again Face to Face
With General Strike.
st. Petersburg, Feb. list Peters
burg is again face to face with a re-
newal Of the labor upheaval. the inn
mediate incitement being the failure
Of the workmen to secure payment for
the time they we're out on strike ad-
ded to the fact that there has been no
adjustment of the demands which led
TO the strike last month. The Putilof
Iron Works. where the former strike
originated. is playing the principal
role. There are 10000 workmen al
ready out within the metropolis, and
the workmen at the torpedo factory
in Kolpino Is miles distant, have also
Joined the strikers. There is a strong
prospect of the movement extending.
Only energetic measures by the
troops and police prevented the re-
sumption OF the former tactics of the
strikers, marching from factory TO fac
tory. and inducing or compelling en-
ployes TO lay down their tools. Thus
far there has been no disorder In st.
Petersburg, and the authorities ap-
pear to have the situation we'll in hand
in this respect, and It is generally be-
iieved that such precautions have
been taken as will preclude the repeti-
tion OF the scene Of bloodshed of Jan
uary 22. However, circumstantial re-
ports that the revolutionary element
is about to join with the strikers and
resort to bomb throwing are causing
grave apprehensions.
Reports from many factories show
that the hands are ripe for trouble
and liable TO strike.
Father Gopon's organization is re-
ported to have appointed 83 delegates,
who are to request Governor General
Trepoff to permit the workmen to
send another representative delegation
