J A RLNGING BEBUEE TO AIDEEMEN. f lHaX Investigation of Dimmer's Jurors Blows a Strong Breath. tTHE HAZLETT ESTATE IS ESCHEAT " The trlml o. Mt suit of Dr. W. L. Penney against William Murdoch, Q. P. Perkins, E. B. Todd nd S. P. Anderson for $20,000 for false arrest and imprisonment proceeded yesterday before Judpe Stowe. The plaintiff showed by Alderman Cassidy that he was arrested on an information made before the Alderman against Colville et 3l, To this Judge Stowe remarked: "They had no more right to arrest Dr. Penney under that information than they had to arrest jne. "We have been trying to teach some people for a long time how to conduct cases, but it seems th'r will never learn until some of these days they will find themselves in a nice fix." The plaintiff closed his case and the de fense, in opening, claimed that the informa tion was made upon what seemed to be probable cause, and if it was upon such belief there could be no recovery against the defendants. Attorney Bobb pointed out that if conclusive proof of jruilt were re quired before the arrest of offenders were permitted, in a vast number of instances justice would be pitifully defrauded of her dues and the criminal statutes would be come practical mockeries. Detective Fred Kochendorfer was sworn and testified to his trip along Grant street with Sir. Murdoch, when the latter pointed out to him the house 2Co. 315 as the place where he was robbed. Samuel Anderson testified to making the arrest, and denied that ha heard any conversation between Mr. Perkins and Dr. Penney about '-fixing the matter up." lira. Lena Quip, of 80 Washington street, was sworn and cave some testimony that is new in iRTcrv narMenlax. She said that, dnrinc the 'afternoon of the day on which the robbery oc curred, she saw a wagon stop in front of 315 Grant street. A small table and a box were Eat into the wagon and it was driven away, tie lived next door at that time and wondered if Dr. Penney was moving. That eveninesbe spoke to Mr. Bamett about the matter; She testified that be replied: "Hush, Mrs. Gulp; don't tell anyone about this; I'll have it all fixed up in the grand jury room, and then whack up with yon." Mr. William Murdoch, chief defendant was then called. He said he was 78 years of age, and that be lived in the Twenty-second ward. Ho told the story of his case over again in the same droll manner in which be has told it sev eral times before. The cool regardless manner in which be spoke of ?10,000 of which he had been robbed, provoked considerable humor amonr tba ocennants of the court room. Jndce Stowe, tho court attendant and all the lawyers and spectators held their sides with laughter at the amus!?;, child-like, credulous manner with which the old gentleman de scribed bow he must have struck terror to the bunko hearts by threatening to send for bis lawyers unless the rogues gave him the $10,000 and the $5,000 additional for which be bad played the bicger boodle. He was still on tho stand when court adjourned. It is expected the case will be finished by noon to-day. THOSE JURORS DRAKE. An Officer Swears That Fonr of DImmey'g Deathly Censors Took Whisky A Note That Another Officer Carried. James Piatt and wife were taken before Judge Collier yesterday and sworn for the par pose of examination on the alleged conduct of one of the jurors in the Dunmy murder trial, in banding out a card, bearing a note to one of the court officers. District Attorney Porter asked Mr. Piatt if he could identify tho officer to whom the card had been banded. Piatt pointed out Officer Frank O'Brien and said that jnrorDnnlevyhad handed the card to him. O'Brien in turn handed the card to Piatt. It was Intended for some one of Dnnlevy's family, and bore these words: "William, I am on the jury and cannot get borne." .Mrs. Piatt was sworn, and testified that she was present when Officer O'Brien handed the card to her husband. Further testimony was then taken before the Commissioner in the matter of the application for a new trial. Officer George Hoerr, one of the officers who had charge of the jury while the case was being tried, was called. He said that on the morning before the charge was made fonr of the jurors bad ordered whisky at breakfast at the Central Hotel. He knew of no others having any intoxicants to drink dur ing the trial. These only bad a small drink apiece, and be did not noticti that any of them were affected by it. Officer Hoerr knew noth ing about the card being handed to Officer O'Brien. He admitted on cross-examination that the jurors could have been served whisky in cups without his knowledge. Officer Frank O'Brien, the other officer, was sworn. He was with the jury all the time dur ing the trial, except when they slept, and knew -othing about them having whisky. Officer "Brlensaidbehad never neard of the card ctil after the present investigation .bad com jenced. He denied having received the card om Juror Dunlevy, and says it is a case of Istaken identity with Mr. Piatt. The case was adjourned until this morning at J o'clock, when the jurors will be examined as o the effects of the whisky which they drank. HAZLETT ESTATE ESCHEAT. jZitigntlon to Transfer the Property, Worth 838,080, to the State. !; Charles F. McEenna, Esq, yesterday com menced proceedings in the Orphans' Court to escheat to the Commonwealth the estate of Mrs. Mary McD. Hazlett. The estate Is a Valuable one, and has been the cause of much litigation. It consists of two farms In West Deer township, one of 120 acres and the other '. of GO acres, a house and lot in Tarentnm, the whole valued at about 140,000. and personal property worth about 18,000. Mrs. Hazlett4or Several years before her death, was of unsettled mind and had been declared a lunatic Thomas VMurdy was appointed commissioner to take charge of ber person and e state. Mrs. Hazlett died in March, 1888, and Mr. Murdy presented a -will, leaving him and his wife the bulk of the estate. Register Conner refused to admit the will to firobate on the ground that Mrs. Hazlett was nsane when it was made, and that it did not how a reasonable disposition of the property. The case went to the Supreme Court, and the Register was sustained. .A second will was then filed, which bad been made prior to the Murdy testament,leaving the estate to the relatives of Mrs. Hazlett's de ceased husband, Joseph Bosh, James F. Haz lett, John K. Hazlett and G. W. Hazlett. This will, though also made after Mrs. Hazlett had been declared a lunatic, was admitted to probate by the Register, it having been shown that it was made during a lucid interval, and that the disposition of the property was made in reason, the estate going back to ber bus band's family, she having obtained it from her husband. The action of Mr.McKenna yesterday will put the estate through another course of liti cation. Acting under authority from the Auditor General of the State, he filed an ap peal from the Register's decision in admitting the will to probate, and asks that the estate be escheated to the Commonwealth on the grounds of lunacy, fraud, imposition and un due influence.

Our Special Commissioner Concludes His Travels and Reports FOtJR COUNTIES WITH A STAHD-0FP Delaware and McKean Counties Ire for Prohibition, White H0HTG02LEEY AHD BUCKS WANIBEEB. Serenl HnaentJ WMcbEender His Eesnlt of tts Campaign Doubtful. With this letter The Dispatch's can vass of counties on the Constitutional amendment is completed. Our special commissioner has carried his investigation into every county of Pennsylvania except those of Philadelphia and Allegheny. He concludes his series of letters to-day with the three counties of Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware, and the extreme northern county of McKean, which had been over looked until now. Of these four, Mont gomery will give an overwhelming majority against prohibition; Bucks is In a doubtful position with the odds favoring the liquor interests; Delaware may probably add a small majority to the temperance ranis, and McKean will be a camp for the Prohi bitionists. A resume of the canvass will follow later, CTBOlt OCa EFXCLUt cojwissioheeO Nokeistown, February 27. Of the five 'counties in Pennsylvania which gave the largest majorities against local option in 1873, Montgomery was one. And there seems to be every indication now that she will be one of the five next June to give the hardest kicks at the Constitutional amend ment. It is true that the Prohibitionists are doing some brave work, but their efforts ara directed toward reducing the majority against them, for they have no hope of win-J nlng the whole county to their side. If or ristown is a beehive of industry, and it was here where Lees & Co. were recently charged with importing foreign labor. The woolen and cotton manufacturing interests are extremely large, but, on the whole, they are operated by domestic laborers. In other parts of the county iron manufactories fur nish a rougher class of workmen, the ma jority of whom are expected to vote against the amendment. Representative Taggart, of Montgomery, told me that the county would surely give a majority of from 4,000 to 5,000 against pro hibition. There are many of the Pennsyl vania Germans in the agricultural region, and they are opposed to the law. A BATTLE GROUND. Besides that the county lies between Phil adelphia and 'Berks county, both of which are expected to do tremendous battle for liquor. That they would have an influence on Montgomery with the important line of railroad extending clear through its terri tory, is altogether natural to suppose. And as Montgomery's majority against local option 15 years ago was 4,206, Mr. Taggart thinks he has ample grounds for his present prediction. On the other hand, the temper ance workers contradict the gentleman, and aver that the majority may be kept down to about 1,500 or 1,800. The whole county has a population of 120,000, which means a very considerable increase since the last census, and since the previous vote on the license question. There seems to be a decided change of sentiment in the county of Bucks, and it is for the abolition of the liquor traffic. But it is doubtful whether it has gained suf ficiently to win the day there -in June. When local option was voted upon this county gave 3,285 for license. I was sur nrised when one of her principal poli ticians told me that this big majority will be found to have melted into insignificance. He explained that the northern' section of the county Is populated bv the old Pennsyl vania Dutch, and the southern half by the Quakers. It would be naturally supposed that the Quakers would offset the influence of the Dutch in this contest, but with the part the Quakers are going to take they will also have the sympathy and aid of a large percentage of the Germans teo. THE LUTHERAN VOTE. The Lutherans appear to be heart and soul in the movement. Hev. Mr. Melchoir, of Bucks, is preaching and speaking in favor of the amendment. He is one of the leaders of the Lutherans, and it cannot be denied that that denomination, in this county, at least, is doing a powerful work, for the cause. On the other hand the Menonites are stubbornly opposed to it in Bucks. It will, therefore, be seen that peculiar causes are operating in this county. The largest towns there are Doylestown and Bristol. In Delaware county is one large town which will have mnch to do with the election next summer. It is Chester with a population of close upon 20,000. The other important centers of population in little Delaware are Media, Slid die town and Clifton. While there may be a majority in these places against the amendment the probabilities are that the Quaker contingent in the country districts will offset it. Senator Cooper recently said that he be lieved the county, which is his home, would give from 500 to 1,000 majority for the issue. This opinion is indorsed by J. M. Sogers, Chairman of the Republican County Com mittee, although the Chairman of the Dem ocratic County Committee, J. L. Garrett, is reported to have said that he believed Dela ware's majority would be that much the other way. He did not think the rural vote of the Quakers would be strong enough to counterbalance the cUy vote of Chester. Chester is a manufacturing seat. WITH THE' NOETHEEN TIEB. In writing up the situation along the northern tier The Dispatch almost over looked McKean county. Since then I have learned that there does not seem to be much doubt about which way that county will vote. There is only one element of doubt, and that is the large increase in population in the last 15 years.

Bradford bas since then become one of the important cities ot the State. It Is general ly conceded that the city will not favor the amendment. But the balance of the county probably will, and in some quarters I hear the estimate made that the whole county will give somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 majority for the cause. The Prohi-. bitionists argue that the increase in popula tion is made up of oil well drillers and lumbermen. They say tbatthe men in the lumber camps are of a floating disposition, and that very few of them have a vote; and that, as these articles have already shown, the great bulk of the men at the petroleum rigs are steady-going and ready, to give, their vote and influence for prohibition.

These cold spells, which may be looked for every now and then during' the latter part of February and the stormy month of March, will afford us our last chance to get rid of the balance of our' Overcoats- Sharp blasts from the North or West and sharp reduction! in our prices form a combination against which no man without ar Overcoat dare rebel.
