LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGCEE. THUBS0AY DECEMBER 9, igSGL COURT OF O.UAKTKR. SESSIONS. The December Adjourned Term. Wednesday Afternoon. In the case of the cem'thvs. C. C. Scbnader, charged with selling liquor te miners, counsel ad dressed the jury. Ceth'th -vs. U. U. Ceble, accessory te larceny after the fact, three cases ; lar ceny, one case. In thelarceny case the de fendant was charged with stealing a quan tity of cigars, soap and drugs from the store of Dr. Blaugh, of Elizabethtown. He was charged with being accessory after the fact te the larceny of a fly-net and whip from David D. Courtney, a set of harness from Abraham Heisey and a blanket and whip from Jehn Hertzler. The defendaut is a stone-cutter and re sides in the borough of Elizabethtown. Allen Ceble, his younger brother, who was working for him, plead guilty te all the above cases of larceny- By the testimony for the commonwealth it was shown that en the night of Decem ber 13, 1879, the drug store of Dr. H. K. Blaugh was entered and robbed. A let of soap, patent medicines, brushes, hair pins, &c, were stolen. Seme days before New Years', 1880, the etore was again entered and a let of candy and cigars stolen. In February or March Dr. Blaugh received a postal card which stated that he could find his goods in a weeds near the town. The doctor went te the place designated and found most of the goods. On August 18th last the defendant told the doctor that he had sent him the pos tal card. lie also told him that his bro ther had stolen the goods and that they had taken them te the weeds, thinking that was the best place te put them ; en the same day the doctor found some cigars and candy in II. U. Ceble's shop. Allen Ceble confessed that he stele the goods. The defendant told one witness that Allen had stolen the goods and that he (defend ant) had sent a postal te the doctor ; he also said that they (meaning himself and father) intended paying Mr. Blaugh for the damage sustained. Several witnesses were examined in re gard te the accessory cases, but they were unable te connect the defendant with them. The commonwealth thereupon abandoned thci.i. "Allen Ceble was then called for the de fense. He stated that he committed all of these larcenies himself without aid from his brother or any one else. The goods which he took from Dr. Blough's store he had put immediately in the hay mew, but afterwards put them in his room, which he kept locked and te which lus brother did net have access. His brother finally discavcic.l sonic lozenges i his pocket and he (the witness) confessed te him. The defendant then wrote te Dr. Blaugh, and that evenins the goods were taken te the weeds. Defendant knew nothing of the affair until witness con fessed. The district attorney said that he thought there was tee much doubt in the case te ask for a conviction. The court was of the same opinion, and the jury was instructed te render a verdict of net guilty. Thursday Morning. In the case of C. C. Schnader, charged with selling liquor te miners, the jury returned a verdict of " guilty, with county for costs, and a rec ommendation of mercy te the court." The court told the jury that they could net impose the costs upon the county when they found the defendant guilty. The counsel for the defense then asked that the jury be polled. The first one who was asked what verdict he wanted te render, replied, '.' Net guilty." An explanation was then made by the court in regard te what polling the jury meant, and all the jury answered "guilty with a recommen dation of mercy. ' ' A motion for a new trial will be made in the case. Daniel R. Dener aud Adam Freclieli, supervisors of East Lampeter township, were charged with neglect of duty, in al lowing the refuse from the tannery of Jacob S. Shiik, near the Bird-in-hand, te flew out into the gutter along the public read. This gutter forms a water course and it runs through the properly of Henry Keen, after it leaves the read, te Mill crccck The water or refuse from the tannery, it is alleged, causes a nuisance by the stench te the public, and especially te Henry Keen, whose property it passes through, and who is the prosecutor in the case. The waste from the tannery reaches the gutter through an under ground pipe. A number of witnesses testified that they passed along the read during the summer mouths; they found the gutter full of grown weeds, filth, and lime from the tannery ; the smell was very obnoxious aud it was with great difficulty that horses could be get by it. After the testimony for the common wealth closed the defendants counsel argued that there could be no conviction as a tauuery is net a nuisance per sc. This point was argued en both sides and the court reserved their decision until this afternoon. The case of Jehn Miller, charged with surety of the peace, was dismissed at the cost of Gee. Bertzfield, the prosecutor, who failed te appear. All the jurors except these impanuclled in the neglect of duty case were discharged ' for the week, as that is the last case for trial. Thursday Afternoon. This afternoon when court met Judge Patterson decided that the indictment in the case of Daniel R. Dener, et al., charged with neglect cf duty, could net be sustained. A verdict of net guilty was taken, with county for costs. The surety of the peace case against Careline Greene was dismissed. Verdict ter the Defence. In the case of Hanover Junction & Susquehanna raihead vs. Michael Moere, which has been en trial before Judge Liv ingston for some days past, the jury Ircn dercd a verdict in favor of the defendant. They were out seventeen hours and agieed at 2 o'clock this morning. Smothered In lie.!. On Wednesday morning an infant daughter of Augustus Brayman aud wife, of 3Ieunt Jey, aged seven weeks, was found dead in bed between its parents, having been suffocated during the night. Dr. J. P. Zieglcr was hurriedly sent for with a hope that the child might be re suscitated, but it was tee late. Deputy Corener Henry Kurtz was notified aud empaneled the following named jurors te held an inquest : Clerk of Orphan's Cenit Jehn H. Zcller, Justice of the Peace Rebert McFadden, cx-Corenor Alex Dysart, Constable James Deaaghy, Abra ham Strickler and Jacob R. Grissingcr. Frem the testimony it appeared that the mother, Mrs. Brayman, nursed the child at about half-past 'eleven o'clock Tuesday night aud then went te sleep, net awaking again until 4 o'clock Wednesday morn ing, when she discovered the child lying between her and its father dead but quite warm, having unquestionably been acci dentally smothered. The jury rendered a verdict of death from accidental suffoca tion. Supposed Burglar Shet. On Tuesday night a man who was sup posed te have had criminal intentions was seen prowling around the house of Adam Flettcrer, en Lafayette street. Heat tempted te get into the house through the shutter, but he was seen by Mr. Flettcr cr's mother, aud he was frightened off. Last night Fletterer resolved te watch for the mau. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the stranger was seen coming into the yard. Flettcrer was watching him, but the man caught sight of him and started te run. Fletterer had a leaded gun in his hand and he fired a shot at the stranger who es caped without being hit. COLUMBIA NEWS.
