Hazleton, Pa., March 22. - Despite the fforts of the opposition to discourage them, the prosecuting committee have decided to bring again to trial Sheriff James Martin and a. number of nis deputies for the shooting at Lattimer Sept. 10. This decisión was reached at a meeting held in this city. The money placed at the disposal of the committee for prosecuting the first trial was sufficient to pay all indebtedness. The sympathy of the country still Sfems to be with the miners, as contributions continue to come in. Treas■urer John Nemeth stated that he had jiow $1,500 on hand, and that each mail brougrht encouraging letters from different parts of the country. Rev. Father Aust wlll go to Chicago as a mis:sionary, and there endeavor to interest Tiis eountrymen. The lawyers who repiresented the defense at the last trial say that a retrial is out of the question. The last trial cost the county $10,000, and the committee paid out $5,000, while the defense expended five times this much. It is llkely that a ■change of venue wlll be asked for.
