Tcrc Discharged.
BAUBR DRANK RED ; LIQUOR
But He Could Not Convict the Dunraore
Grog Scllcry-Joscph lloltliam Acquit
ted of Perjury and the Costs Placed
Upon ilim- Peculiar Verdicts.
This week's panel of jurors In quarter
sessions' couft beats the record for
leniency. Of all the criminal cases
tried during the week only one defend
ant was convicted, and very likely he
would have been acquitted also, If he
had not admitted his offense on the wit
ness stand. , The solitary convict Is
Michael McKenna, of Carbondale who
acknowledged that he fired a stone at
old Michael Healey. Truly, It was a
practical illustration of the Divine doc
trine, applicable at this season of the
year; "Peuee, on earth, good will to
men.
At S.30 o'clock the jury In the Wiley
perjury case came Into court after
being out aft night. They could not
ngree upon a verdict and Judge Slttser
discharged them from further consid
eration of the case.
Considering the indubitable chain of
evidence offered by the commonwealth
against Joseph Holtham, charged with
perjury, and the additional fact that
he offered no evidence in his own de
fense, the verdict of not guilty and the
imposition of posts on the defendant, Is
regarded as a most remarkable verdict.
Two Tippling House Coses.
In the case against Michael L. Lan
gan, of Dunmore, tried for keeping a
tippling house,' the jury acquitted the
defendant and put the costs on Detec
tive Rauer.
Judge Slttser held court In No. 1, and
the nrst case called was another tip
pling house carse In which Detective
Bauer again was the prosecutor.
James Smith was the defendant, and
ex-Senator M. E. McDonald, assisted
by Attorney John G. McAskle, repre
sented him. District Attorney Kelly
conducted the prosecution. The detec
tive, It appears, was endeavoring to rid
Dunmore of her unlicensed grog shops
last summer and he disguised himself
as an agent with clothes wringers for
salt- He went into Smith's place one
sweltering day in August and asked
for the best In the house. There were
others in the barroom at the time and
Detective Bauer phllanthropleally In
vited them to step up to the American
timber and refresh themselves.

of
the others, whom he was positive drank
either the rod, fluid or something along
that line. The witnesses who were with
the detective awore that' It was rasp
berry ithey imbibed. The defendant
said his place of business was conduct
ed on a purely temperance plan; he had
a barrel of, beer In the house, but he
had It 'there for hl3 own use; his brother
sent It to him as a present and recom
mended him to take a few whirls of It
every day, as It was good for anybody
who suffered with stomach trouble. He
remembered the detective's visit to his
Lhouse, but whatever he 'had to drink.
like all the rest of the detectives, he did
not settle for it. Smith refused to take
the money which Bauer threw on the
bar.
The Jury 'retired and in due season
came back with, -a verdict placing the
costs on the detective and acquitting
the defendant.
Mrs. Ellen Farquahar, of Potter
street, Dunmore, charged with assault
and battery by Mrs. Sarah ' Diamond,
her neighbor, was the next one before
the bar of justice. The prosecutrix al
leged that Mrs. Farquahar struck her
little boy Peter, 8 years of age, on the
head with a broomstick and Inflicted a
painful ' scalp wound. The defendant
claimed that Peter Is an exceptionally
mischievous youngster and is up to all
manner of devilment. On the day she
Is charged with having assaulted him,
he was stoning her enow white kitten
and by way of reproof she let a broom
she had In her hand fly at him. She
did not know,, she said, whether the
article struck the sparkling young Dia
mond or not, her eyes were blinded by
he flashy lrrldescences of his audac
ity. The Jury had not agreed at ad
journment.
Does Not Like Bulldogs.
John Ryan was put on trial for ma
licious mischief In which his brother-in-law,
John Regan, of Greenwood, was the
prosecutor. Ryan has, It appears, a
very healthy appetite for the Juice of
the grape; and when the wine Is In, he
Is not very particular about being
peaceable. Ryan alleges that his
brother-in-law unflllally serenaded him
one afternoon last summer, by pelting
stones at the door of ihla house. Ryan's
defense was that he had Intended to
pay a friendly visit to his brother-in-law
and when he got close to the house

he saw a larga sized bulldog which he
thought would make a nice target. So
he began throwing stones at the dog
and one of them missed the brute and
struck Ryan's door. That was the head
and front of his offending.
The Jury had not agreed upon a ver
dlot when oourt adjourned.
John Klrby was the next one before
the court. He was under Indictment,
for selling liquor without a license and
this was another case In which De
tective Bauer was the prosecutor. The
prosecution was the same as In the
La n Ban and Smith cases and the de
fense was also similar. The Jury was
out deliberating on a verdict at ad
journment. Pulled Her Hair Out.
Michael Sebric was charged with as
sault and battery by Mrs. Rose Plck
nlck. Sebric used to board with Mrs.
Picknick at the Pyne company houses.
Oct. 10 he came home drunk and, with
the assistance of another boarder,
locked her husband in the bedroom.
Then Sebric, because she was going to
liberate her hubby, began to assail her
with blows; he also took a fist full of
hair from her scalp.
Her little boy went out and got a
warrant for Sebric and a constable ar
rested the defendant. He could not
furnish ball and was locked up In Jail
until yesterday waiting for trial. He
had no lawyer and court assigned At
torney J. Elliot Ross to defend him, but
after a short consultation Sebric plead
guilty and Attorney Ross made a plea
In his behalf. Judge Slttser sentenced
him to pay a fine of $5 and the costs
and warned him to keep out of court In
the future. That was the last case for
the week.
Other Cases In Court.
In the case of the commonwealth
against Mrs. Mary Moran, Indicted for
keeping a tippling house, a nolle prose
qui was entered. She Is serving a throe
months' term In the county Jail now for
a like offense.
A capias was Issued for Martin
Moran, who was not present when his
case was called.
Patrick Mangan, was sentenced to
one-half of the costs In the case In
which Thomas Casey prosecuted him
for assault.
In the case of Thomas Handley, Jr.,
charged with aggravated assault and
battery, the prosecutor was unwilling
to prosecute and Hundley settled tltc
costs.
Solraus Stolkcck was not In court to
prosecute Mary Kechmarlk for false
pretenses, and the jury which was
drawn to hear the case, at the direction
of court, placed the costs on the de
faulting prosecutor, and on motion of
District Attorney Kelley a capias was
Issued for him.
