I PlTTSBrKO, Xov the lawyer from 22. George W. Argo, ' Sionx City, was chosen ! by the defense in the Critchlow ease to make the opening statement, the prosecn- lion having ressted. He said, referring to the arrival of the Pinknrtons at the nrivate : landing of the Homested mills Jury 0 last: ! "We say this was an invasion by a foreign ! armed force; an assault on the county; an 1 assault on the commonwealth; an assault ' ., . , . tL lir T r?" 1 the people of th eounty and state. This armed body of men who invaded this state were not employed as laborers; they were men who could not have been made dep uty sheriffs; they were emissaries for what purpose? When they reached Home- stead they made an attack on the people of this county and this stale. So far as has ; been shown thev were not there to nrotert property; no evidence to show what they ! were doing there. Had a I:ight To Me a Mob. "We say all persons on the banks of the river when this armed body attempted to land had a right there; that eaeh had a right to defend himself 'and all others present; that a'.l had a right to use deadly ' weapons when attacked by such weapons. as these people on shore were attacked; ! they had a right to defend themselves and each other; that Critchlow had nothing to do with the death of Connors." The ora- ' tor then declared the Critchlow defonse to he an alibi; that he was riot there at all; ' that it was a Critchlow, but not this ! Critchlow; this one leing at Braddock half the day and at home the other half; that he had a gun when seen Joly 0, but it 1 wasn't loaded, and, indeed, he even did not have any ammunition. After Argo was through the court took recess. Swear tbe Flnkertona Fired First. Upon reassembling the first witness called for the defense was Captain O. C. Coon, of Homestead.

I asked bim if he was a deputy sheriff, he said no; I asked him if he was a guardsman, he said no, 1 then said, 'You are a Iinkerton.' He replied that he was, and holding up his gun said his party was goin to enter the mill in fifteen minutes. The hoy on the shore oontinued to call the man on tha barge and the latter raided his gun and aimed at 1 the boy, lmt some one pushed his nun down. ievrr Saw Critrhlow Kefore.

The committee has gone to Pit tsburg. As to Those Treason Proscruiions. Referring to the effect of the investiga tion, especially on the proserntions for treason, at Pittsburg, na'or Peffer said: 'I thiqk the committee will make some recommendation to bring altout a termina tion of the struggle, lo continue these prosecutions will only euilritler the feeling all round, and Senator Galiingvr and my self are so thoroughly in accord on the subject that I think we will r port some what on the lines I have indicated. For the rest, the first result of our labors will be to cull the general attention of tbe peo ple to the whole stibji ct of the relat ions between capital and labor.
