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

Jehn H. Zcller, Justice of the Peace
Rebert McFadden, cx-Corenor Alex

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

tion. Supposed Burglar Shet.
