When we went to press last week the Commonwealth hud just closed their case. Seouten was put on the stand and testified that he had no ill will or malice towards Judge Kraus while he was writing the many articles introduced in evidence, disparaging to Judge Kraus. That he had noth ing to do with the cut for the pict ure called "A judicial rush," that Hugo, his partuer was the one who urnisiied the idea ect. On cross ex amination he admitted he had taken the draft of it to Williamsport with photographs of the two Judges and consulted and devised with the art ist as to it. Joe Kester the star witness, whom Seouten swore it would be impossible togo to trial without, testified that I)r. McHenry called on him Tues day morning and. gave him some medicine. He took one spoonful and it made him throw up, and that he would not take any more of it. The rest of his testimony was some what similar to that given in the former trial. Piatt and O'Boyle closed for the defense before the noon adjournment on Thursday. In the afternoon Mullen closed for the Commonwealth, and the Judge charged the jury. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, recommend to the mercy of the court, apout 7 p. m. Thursday.
