FIERCE RIOT IN PENSACOLA
IMPORTATION OF STRIKE BREAK
ERS CAUSES BATTLE.
Street Car Men from ST. Louis Are At
tackled and Fifteen of Them
Are Beaten.

Pensacola, Fla.-The bringing of
carload of strike breakers from
ST. Louis Friday afternoon by the Pen
sacola Electric company was the sig
nal for rioting and disorder which re.
suited in the injury of Is of the i'm
ported men.
No sooner had the strike breakers
arrived and started for the car sheds
than fight occurred between them
and the sympathiZers of the union
men and from the corner of PalafoX
and Wright streets, where the first
battle occurred, there was a continual
riot in which bricks, bottles and shells
were hurled at the strike breakers,
and in turn the latter fired shots
and used heavy sticks and
bricks. For over an hour the riot
continued, tic. strike breakers gradu-
ally getting uyLrer to the car barns,
but before they reached there Is had
been wounded.
When near the car barns, so fierce
was the onslaught on the body of i'm
ported men, that they separated and
fled 80 running into a negro's house,
while the remainder reached the car
barn and barricaded the doors. The
30 men in the house barricaded the
doors and it took the police over an
hour to dispense the mob and remove
the men to places of safety.
All night there were great crowds
on the streets.
The mayor has issued a proclama-
ton closing all saloons and the board
of public safety has ordered the mar
shal to swear in a sufficient number
of deputies to quell the disturbance.
Seventy strike breakers we're
marched to the city Jail, where they
were kept in safety all night
Benjamin Commons, vice-president
of the International Association of
Street Railway Employees, made an ad-
dress, urging the strikers to disperse
and so to their homes quietly.

DETROIT JURY is SCORED.
Judge Angered by AcquittaI of Self
Confessed Murderer.

Detroit, Mich.-"This is one of the
vilest miscarriages of justice that
has ever been heard of in this COM
munity," said Judge Phelan in the
recorders court Thursday afternoon,
when jury found 1S-year-old Percy
Bowin of Woodville, Ont, not guilty
of the brutal murder on January Z of
63.year-old Mrs. Cornelia Welch, pro-
prietress of disreputable place on
Congress street eas: which Bowin
had frequented.
Bowin had admitted his guilt and
made detailed confession of how he
killed the old woman and stole and
pawned her diamonds. This confes-
sion, signed by Bowin, was placed in
evidence. Then Bowin took the stand
and repudiated it absolutely, saying
that Capt. Mcdonnell induced him to
make it by talking of the strong case
against him and promising to help him
to pardon later. This the captain
and other officers denied absolutely
The police offered a great deal of evil
dence to confirm the statements in
BoWin's confession.

Mrs. McGonnigle. Thomas, she testi-
fed, had fixed a bottle of wine with
poison in it to give to Mrs. McGon-
nigle, but witness had destroyed the
wine. Then they wanted her to shoot

they gave her some poisoned cake to
give to her. Mrs. Jane Burnett, the
witness said, had told her that she
would kill Mrs. McGonnigle.
