HERALD WHOLESALE POISONING. An Allege'.! Plot Discovered Kill Non Union Men. to HE MADE A CONFESSION. The Poison Said to Have Boon put In tha Mons Food by Hired As-sasslns-Union Njn Im plicated in the Plot. PlTTSHi'Kc, P.., Dec. II. A Sun day paper published a startling story today of a conspiracy to pois on by wholesale the non union men at theCarnegie steel plant at Home stead, and as a result of which it is alleged several person lost their lived while scores of others are suf fering from the effects of poisonous drugs. Developments made, im plicate members of the advisory committee, tneinbetsof the amalga mated association and officers of the other labor organizations sym pathizing with the locked out men at Homestead. Today niueormore persons are under arrest, ostensi bly on less serious charges, but really for the purpose of averting suspicion until others in the nl leged conspiracy can be apprehend ed. The only name given i that of Robert Heatty. who was arrested at Louisville last night. It is stated that the chief cook in side the Homestead mills confessed to having placed poison in the food prepared for the non-union men; that he did so at the instigation of the striker's committee, and that he is also under pay from them, as well as from the Carnegie company. If he caused deaths and sickness sufficient to frighien the non-union men from the mill and compel its closing he wasto receive $T,000. Two assistants whom he engaged to aid him in his plot, it is stated, became frightened and informed Mr. Frick of the crime. This led to the arrest of the chief cook, and as stated above he made a full confession. The matter was kept quiet. The workmen were instructed to get their meals outside. The cook and two assistants were kept in the mill under close surveillance. During the time that meals were prepared in the mill a number of workmen became sick and Charles Glossier died two weeks after going to I Ionie stead. Mr. Frick positively refused to be interviewed on the subject tonight. E. L. Heck, counsel for the Car negie Steel company, was seen to night and confirmed the story of the poisoning, lie says his infor niation is that at least six deaths resulted from poison. A Ilotues stead druggist and physician are implicated. The powder was given to a dog and it died in a lew min utes. A number of arrests will probable be made in a few days Coroner McDowell has not yet been notified. He will go to Homestead however, tomorrow, to investigate the cause of the death of Isaac lur ries, who died suddenly about two weeks ago. Juries was a wittness in the Critchlow case. The coroner is of the opinion that the death was due to alcoholism. km i:i Ki) no siren casks. Pittsdukc, Pa., Dec. 11.

Cincinnati, o Dec. 13. A female footpad is operating in this city. She is desperate and bold and lias a male accomplice. Isaac J. Loch, a tailor, reported to the police today that Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, he was walking in the West End at Eighth and Mound, when a woman who had been walking in front of him suddenly turned, and siezing him by the wrist, dealt him a vicious blow with her fist, and then gave a quick signal, which was re sponded to by a man who emerged from an alley. The man struck Leob, and they were about to rob him, when he cried for help, and several pedestrains came up. The man and woman lied and escaped. The woman was of medium height, heavily built and rather respectable looking. She wore a black dress, cloak and hat. Two other young men living in the neighbor of the attempted robbery have had a similar experience with the woman and her male confederate. Those who have seen the female footpad are certain! t is not a case of a man in woman's attire, but a genuine female. A SHOOTING AKFKAY. wiuuta. ian..
