hrraigned before Recorder Henry w.

duct preferred by the Pennsylvania

Broad street, told the court that he
had nothing to do with hanging about
the Pennsylvania railroad property,
and was discharged. Some of the
others partially admitted and others
did admit that they occasionally
lounged about the terminal in State
street. AS the recorder asked each
prisoner what he had to say there
eame all sorts of excuses as to why
they just happened to be on the prop
srty when the raid took place. One
was just coming from work, another
was just going home and some others
wanted to meet friends there. They
were warned about using the COM
pany's property for a lounging place
In the future.
