Refused to Sign a Deed in Favor of
His Sister, Mrs. Mary Roil, as Di

The Property in Dispute.
"I'll never sign it, not if I stay hern
until I rot," said Jamss Qannon tan
Tribune reportr t the count? jail as
he brought his clinched right fist down
on the open palm of his left hand with
a resounding noise that- disturbed the
siesta of the prisoner in the next cell.
"No one can make me eigu away the
property. There is not a judge or a
jury in the world that cm do it and
I'll prove it to them " Then Mr. GrAll
uon becoming oxcited, proceeded to
volubly discuss hie cue" and the condi
tion of nlTsirs that lodged him behind
prison burs.
tie was committed to the county jail
on June 10 by Judge Edwards for con
tempt of court in refusing to obey tbu
ordvr of the onart and make a deed to
his sister, Mrs. Mitry Reil, for a valu
able property located in Swetland
street on the West Side. It is the
second time that Gannon has been In
jail for contempt in refusing to sign
tho deed. On .March 14, 1892, he WM
committed before, and remained incar
cerated until April 11, when his at
torney, ex-Judge W. II. Stanton, sne
cueded in securing his release. The
case wss afterwards taken to the hu
rme court, which bodv decided that
Gannon most sign the iWad. He reso
lutely refused to do so,
NKARLY A QCARTRR OF A CENTURY.
The case wliib lias rosnltod in the
incarceration of Mr. Gannon, who is a
man fully 00 years of age, is in many
respects a most peculiar one and was
began in 1870, almost a quarter of a
century ago.
Mrs. Margaret Gannon, mother of
Mr. Gannon, and Mm Mary lieil, along
in the '80 1 ma le a contract with Will
iim Swetland and wife for the prop
erty in dispute ugreeing to pay (250 for
it. James Gannon obtained a deed for
the same property, but it was alleged
on the trial of the case that Mrs. Gan
non's contract uuteilatod tho deed held
by her son. When Mrs. Gmnon died
her interest in the property through
the contract, became vsted in her
daughter, who had become tho wife of
Thomas Rieil.
She was in possession of the property
and in 1870 James Gannon brought un
action in ejectment in the old mayor's
court of this city to obtain possession
of the land. Tho case was referred to
Attorney Isaac Post by the court but
no further steps were taken in the case
until June, 18S1, when it was certified
to the court of common pleas of this
county which bud been created a few
years before. On Jan. 18, 1887, the
action was tried before Judge Hand.
It was shown that the original con
tract between William Swetland had
teen destroyed by fire and its contents
were proved by parole evldonoe.
VKRDICT FOR MRS. REIL.
The jury rendered the following ver
dict in the ease :
The jury find in fnvor of the plaintiff for
the land described in the writ in this case,
the verdict to be set asido nnd entered for
tbe defendant upon condition that the de
fendant pay tho sum of S.71 on or before
the first day of April, 1887, with interest
from this day, With costs of suit into tho
hands of the prothonotory of the court of
common pleas of this county for tho use of
the contract made by William Swetland to
Margaret Williams at the time the legal
title was conveyed by said Swetland to
the plaintiff in this case ; said sum of
money to bo drawn out nfte tho said
plaintiff shnll have given the said prothon
otory a good and sufficient deed in fee sim
ple to Mary Reil her beirs and assigns, the
defendant in the case, saia died to be
drawn out by Baid Mary Reil after pay
ment of said money as aforesaid.
It will be noticed th at the verdict
contains the words "MAry Williams."
Tbe court decided that it was an error
in writing the verdiot, and that it w is
meant for Mar? Gannon, and tho ver
dict wont into effect ns if it hud been
bo written. On Maroh 20, 1887. Mrs
Reil pnld the required amount of
money into contt, bat Gannon refnsed
to sign the deed for the land. He held
that tho verdict was not mandatory
and that he could not be compelled to
sign the deed if he did not choose to do
AO.
He was frequently appealed to dur
ing the nextthree years to comply
with the provisions of tbe verdict, but
resolutely refused to sign. On Feb. 20,
181)2, a rule was granted on him to
sbow cause Why an attachment should
uot issue for contempt of court on his
part.
GANNON GOES TO JAIL.
On March 14 the rnle was made ab
solute and Gannon committed to jail
utter again refusing to sign the deed.
His counsel, ex-Judge W. II. Stanton,
applied to Judge Ganster for Gannon's
release on the ground that a verdict
such ae that obtained by Mrs. Kiel
could not be enforced on the law side
of the rourts, that the equity court
nrhst be resorted to if the signing of tho
deed was to be enforced. Judge Guns
tor agreed that the position was cor
rect, and on April 11, 1892, Gannon
was roleased from the county j til.
In accordance with the decision nf
the court, Mrs. Riel on Jan. 20, 180:t
filed a bill in equity praying tho on
foreeinent of the conditional verdict,
rendered in the equitable notion nt
ejectment for the spooific performance
of contract by compelling James Gan
non to file the deed.
Attorney George S. Horn was ap
pointed master and examiner, and he
recommended to court a decree that
Gannon should exrcnte tho deed
prayed for and oonvey the land in fee
simple to the defendant.
Judge Gnnster overruled the finding
of the master and in his opinion said:
The evldendl offered by the defendant,
what little there is of it, tended to show
tint on the trial he clnime I to ho the
ownor of the land in foe. There is no evi
dence at all to show why the conditional
verdict was rendered. There i.s not even
any allegation m the bill why it wns done.
Tho record of the ejectment suit Is e-' gon
eral Jthat I am not able to say with reas
onable certainty what was litigated In
the case. If these matters had been al
leged in the hill there enn be no doubt but
it would have been competent to show by
extrinsic evidence what they were. As it
is, I do uot think thn allegations or the
proofs warrant a decree compelling the
defendant to convoy In feo simple to the
plaintiff the land described in tho bill.
AJTEAM'.n TO BUPB1MS court.
From thin decision an appual was
taken to the supreme court which re
versed Jndge Ounstsr in March of the
present year. Justice Green, who wrote
the opinion in the case, said it was an
equitable ejectment suit, and accord
ing to former decisions of the supreme
court the docree eoald be enforced by
equity.
Gannon still persisted in his refusal
te sign tbe deed notwithstanding the
decision of the supremo conrt, and on
Jane 15 he was for the second time ar
raigued for contempt. Jndge Edwards
gave him until the following day to
decide to sign the deed, but Gannon
appeared iu oonrt on the following day
with his mind quite unobanged. He
wus sent to jail and from present indi
cations will remain there for some
time to come.
He is strong willed and nothing can
shnke his determination not to sign
tbe deed.

The target at the regimental rango is
being kept hot these Warm days by the
bullets of the regiments marksmen
There sesms to b a disposition upon
the part of all tho company oomuand-
ers to carry out the suggestion of
"Critic, namely to have ovory man of
the regiment qualified before going to
camp Aug. 11 This can be done just
easy as to wait until the middle of
October. Company E qualified its
entire membership for toe past four
years before camp, and it will do the
satuo this year. Now if one company
can do this surely all can.
The men who keep putting OH qualify
ing in the hope of obtaining a sharp
shooter's scorn generally wind up at the
end of tho souson by qualifying as a
marksman witn a less score than they
tnailo in practice. A sharpshooter is a
phenomenon, and it ought not to take
more than throe or four trials of the
luurksmen in practice to demonstrate
if he be one of tb. se phenomena. A
grout deal of expense will be savad to
the regiment by closing the range ex
copt for team practice by Aug. 10, and
the regiment would be tho first in the
history of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania to go into camp with
every member quulifiod for the current
year. As the Thirteenth leads in
everything else why not in this.
FIVE COMPANIK9 WILL QUALIFY,
From the present Indications at least
five companies will qualify every man
before camp, namely: B, C, E, G and
H. The Field Aid staff will alsb qual
ify its entire roster before camp. Com
pany Ii thus far takes the lead in the
number qualified, nnd it sets a good ex

A little effort upon the part of the
company commanders will undoubt
edly insure tbe qualification of every
man before camp. Tuesdays and Sat
urdays of each week aro days set aside
fbr "all comers match," which are
good days to test one's ability to he a
sharpshooter; tbey are also good days
for qualifying. The rango master
very properly suggests that recruits
remain away from the range on the
above days unices accompanied by a
commissioned or non-commissionod of
ficer to instruct them, as tbe range
master cannot spare them the time
generally required for instruction.
COMPANY C'S NEW OFFffERS.
Cotupanv C elected throe bright and
capable officors last Tuesday evening;
Herbert Li. Chute, captain; Frank Ro
bling, jr., first lieutenant; William A.
Raub, second lieutenant. These youug
sters will, no doubt, render a strict ac
count of their talents. Company C
lost an exceptionally good otlieer upon
the retirement Cf Captain Moir, yet it
is fortunate in the possession of the
above three officers, who have had a
long experience from tbe ranks np in
the company. It will be their aim. to
bring Company C to the front. We
prodict (or them a pleasant and suc
cessful administration.
Captain William Kellow is the rank

first lieutenant, And Lieatenant B.

Major Whitney reports that the non
coms, of Company G,examined by him
last Monday night, passed a very credit
able examination. The major will ex
amine tin non-coms of Companies V
and H at the Scranton City Guards'
armory tomorrow ovening.
Guard duty and "extended" order
should receive tho undivided attention
of company commanders from tbe pros
ent time up to going into camp.
Be sure and get those "new buttons"
sewed on before camp. Tho inspectors
