In addition, 4 civil suit viii be en-
tered against Allegheny county for
10000, as a result OF Abbott's death.
according TO Attorney William 4.
Coleman. who is TO press the case.
This suit. the first OF it's kind ever
instituted. is based on an act OF the
last session OF the legislature. which
makes a county II which a person
meets death by rioting liable TO a for
reiture Of 10000 for the use OF the
dependent family OF the victim. The
case against the county must be
brought in the name OF the state and
entered IN a county other than that
IN which the death occurred.
All Cf the members Of the mob who
attacked the marching Klansmen in
Carnegie could be held for murder
