The sheriff has enlisted a heavy force of deputies to aid in the dispossess proceedings and a strong force of the mounted state troopers will back them , up. The men have sworn they will not permit their families to be put on the streets and the whole force of strikers is be hind them in their determination.

Doctor Holds Ttiat Suicide Was Impossible (By Leased Wire to The Times) Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 12 A striker was killed at McKees Rocks early to day when the 7,000 striking workmen of the Pressed Steel Car Company broke Into rioting, standing their ground under several volleys, which were fired over their heads by state troops and hurling rocks at the sol diers in return. Some of the troop ers aimed too low and three or more of the strikers were hit by bullets, while their missies laid more than one soldier low. In the confusion at tending the fighting it was not deter mined whether the slain man had been shot to death or not. The strikers took complete posses sion of the street car lines in the vi cinity, allowing none but those of their own number to ride and pay ing no fares. The state troops were repulsed several times in their charges but succeeded in dispersing the strikers for the time being. Be sides those who were wounded by bul lets and other missies, scores were se verely clubbed by the troopers as they rode through the crowd at a gallop. Twenty men were arrested and marched in a hollow square of mount ed troops to a box car prison within the stockade around the works, where they are now held. The strikers reformed immediate ly after they broke before the final terrific charge of the cavalry and are now marching through the streets, carrying red flags and gathering hun dreds of recruits, who, it is feared, will join them in another and more determined attack on the plant be fore the day is ended. Liquor, ti is said,, is being freely dispensed and the mood of the strik ers and their adherents is becoming more threatening every hour. At the plant preparations are under way to withstand another attack and further lighting is expected. The crisis of the day will come, it is expected, when the company attempts to carry out its threat to evict the families of fifty of the strikers from houses belong- gument to submit. The government despite the astounding allegations that have been made that efforts have been made to conceal testimony and cover the trail of criminals, has used every means in Its power to bring be fore this court every witness known of which, it In any way, heard. ; : ' "Officers have been brought from the plains of northern China, from the jungles of the Philippines, from Smyrna, from almost every port in the United States and from all points of the world to testify. "The government has laid before the court every scrap of written testi mony and every scrap of writing that would produce any clue or that gave j the promise of producing any clue, and they have all been followed to get every line of evidence that bore upon the Issue. "Having placed before the court all the evidence in my possession, as was my duty to do, I have now to say that unless counsel in their remarks should make statements to which I deem it necessary to reply, I have no other argument to make in this case. "The department and the judge ad vocate have been .. notified of facts they desire to prove. With me the sole object that has actuated every move was to produce in public and to lay before the eyes of the people of the United States everything that bore in any way upon this most un fortunate incident. "I do not feel disposed now to fur ther waste the time of the court in setting forth a position that must have been apparent to every unbiased observer. "I feel now that the people, the de. partment and all parties to the in quiry should now be called upon to state whether they or any one in their knowledge knew anything further in the way of evidence that may be brought before this court by the de partment or the judge advocate which relates to the subject matter. "If no such person appears I feel that he should forever hereafter hold his peace." Then the judge advocate asked that he be permitted to retire as soon as the case goes into the court's hands. The relations between the Sutton attorneys and the judge advocate are known to be strained, especially since the question of confidential letters from Mrs. Sutton to one Harry M. Swarz, of Washington, at which time Attorney Pavls accused Leonard of acting in bad faith. The Sutton attorneys made no com ment on the judge advocate's inten tion to wash his hands of any respon sibility for the verdict. Mr. Davis asked the stenographer to read the opening portion of Leon ard's remarks concerning "astound ing charges" against the governmentj which was done. Then the Sutton lawyer suggested an adjournment un til tomorrow in order that he might prepare his speech. The request was granted. ffilMttiljo PASSENGERS III SAFE ATTEND BEEI ii First 10 Legation Be a KfANV IVIIL SPEAK n. .
