Adduced in the
Case Against Thomas HoliLam.
W. J. MVIntyre, general agent for the
Industry Savings and Life Insurance
company, of Phlludelpihlui, lund sub
agent for tho Columbia Loan and In
vestment company, of Washington, 1.
C was put on trial before Judge Peck
yesterday, churned with conspiracy
and obtaining money under false pre
tenses by C. W. Coleman, janitor or
iho Second Presbyterian church. J. '.
Harris, who was Indicted with Meln
tyre.has lied the city und Mclntyre had
to go to trial alone yesterduy. Their
plan of operation wan set. forth lu de
tail In The Tribune ut the time of the
urrest of Mclntyre, early in May.
The present prosecutor is only one of
a large number of peraon who make
similar charges against them. City
Solicitor Torrcy und ex-Dlst rlct Attor
ney John I. Kelly conducted the prose
cution yesterday and Attorneys J.
lOlllot Ross und Nathan Vldaver de
fended Mclntyre, who Is charged with
Illegal acts In connection with the Col
umbia concern only. Harris was the
iigeiit for the company and lie up
pointed Mclntyre ns his assistant to
make collections and look after the
business generally In Ills absence.
Concern llecninc Insolvent.
Last December the Columbia com
pany became financially involved and
a receiver wan nppointed by the su
preme court or the District of Columbia
and the company restrained from col
lecting anything- farther on Its stock
save that on which money had been
loaned. (Mlviuan had three shares of
stock In the concern on which he paid
$:i a week. He swore yesterday that
nothing wus said to him about the con
cern becoming Insolvent, and that Mc
lntyre continued to collect from him
regularly. Several times Coleman made
inquiries concerning the company and
was assured by Mclntyre that it was
in splendid condition.
H. Bragdon. who was with Coleman
at Mclntyre's office, on Spruce street,
during one of these Interviews, cor
roborated this testimony. L. B. Smith,
aiiL'lher stockholder of the company,
was called to show that he had experi
ence similar to that of Coleman, but
the teisitimony was ruled out.
Mclntyre oti tho Stand.
W. J. Mclntyre was put on the sliand
as the mainstay of his own defense.
He said that on Dec. 20. 1S94, he was en
gaged by J. F. Harris as clerk und col
lector at a salary of $10 a week. HI
duty was to collect from the stockhold
ers of 'Ihe Capital Maturity ai'.d Invest
ment company, to Which concern he
said the stock of the Columbia com
pany was supposed to have been trans
ferred after the latter went Into a re
ceiver's hands.
Harris has left "the city, but the wit
ne.: produced letters from him writ
ten at Philadelphia and Washington,
D. C. Checks were offered lu evidence
showing that money collected by Mc
Iiutyre had been forwarded to Harris
und by him endorse! and the unoney on
them collected. The witness declared
that he conducted the business for Mc
lntyre in good faith and accounted for
all the money collected. He denied that
he hairver told Coleman, after 'the re
ceiver was appolinted, 'that the Colum
bia company was In a good llnanclal
condition.
He Contradicted Mclntyre.
Mclntyre said that he notified Colo
nial! and the other i-itockholders after
the company went Into the receiver's
hands, but this statement was positive
ly deniied by Coleman, who jvas called
in rebuttal. A book kept by Mclntyre
was offered In evidence to show that
the stock of the prosecutor was trans
ferred to the Capital Maturity com
pany, al'jhougih no change wad made Im
the stock certificates. Mclntyre was
of the oplnlor. that It was not his duty
to see (that 'the stock was transferred.
Harris told him it had been done and
he took It for granted that the state
ment was Urue. Altogether Colemun
paid to Mclntyre $i:a
Attorney J. Elliot Ros argued to the
Jury that the defendant should be ac
quitted, for if any unlawful acts had
been committed Harris was the guilty
man. Mr. Kelly made a forceful and
convincing argument for the prosecu
tion. After Judge Peck's t'hurge the
Jury retired at 3.45, but did hot return
with a verdict while count was In ses
sion. Hewitt Jury Disagreed.
It was Impossible for the Jury in the
case of the commonwealth ugalnst F.
II. and W. H. Hewitt to agree, and
after court opened yesterday morning
they were discharged from further con
sideration of the case by Judge Peck,
having been together for twenty-two
hours. The Jury stood nine for convic
tion and three for acquittal. Those
who favored conviction were Andrew
Zophle, K. A. Lane, William L. Jones,
W. J. Landls, Jacob Kempher, L. E.
Giles, Patrick Ruddy, Stanley Day nnd
John Long. Those who thought the
Hewitts should be acquitted were: P.
H. McCann, Miles McDonald and Alex
ander Starkey.
Patrick McDonald, James McGowan,
Thomas McGowan and Henry Murray,
of Dunmore, were found gullfy of hav
ing stabbed Joseph J. Sheeran, but werp
recommended to the extreme mercy of
the court. A nolle prosequi was en
tered on payment of the costs In the
case of Michael Costello, John Lally,
Peter Lynch, James Goughen and
Michael Barrett, charged with mali
cious mischief bji Jamea H. Reap.
Very Snlnolous Cnso.
The main court room was crowded all
of yesterday by an audience that gath
ered to hear the unwholesome details
of the case against Thomas Holtham,
the I'enn ovenue'llquor dealer, who is
on trial for alleged criminal acts with
Mrs. Mary Robb. That lady wan in court
ull duy but she did not occupy a seat
alongside the defendant as on Thurs
day. She remained In the rear of tho
court room.
Her husband sat with District Attor
ney Jones, Attorney Po-wderly and the
prosecutor, Special Officer TIerney, at
the commonwealth's table, while De
fendant Holtham sat a few feet away
with his attorneys, Richard Busteed,
Valler E. Davis and John F. Bcragg.
A number of young women who worked
for Mrs. .Mnihon, of lOakford court;
swore that Mrs. Robb and Holtham
frequently met there In dimly lighted
rooms. One witness, iMaggle Langan,
who peered through a key hole into a
room occupied by Mrs, Robb and Hol
tham swore that Mrs. Robb -was pro

Vn In the top story of The Globe
building where the typesetting and
other machines do everything but talk,
says the Boston Globe, there is a pleasant-faced,
clear skinned, light complex
loned man of 02, who has been with The
Globe ever since the birthday of that
great paper. He Is the night foreman
of the composing room, und looks fully
in years younger than he reully Is. His
name is Charles Rolte.
Nervous headaches that well-nigh
drove him to distraction first Intro
duced him to Palne's celery compound.
That was live years ago, and until thnt
time he way one of the most pronounced
opponents of prepured remedies to be
found In the city.
Just how Palne's celery compound
was first brought to ihis attention he
does not remember, but It has done him.
so much good that the compound has
no more enthusiastic champion living.
He is as happy is any one lu the en
joyment of good health could be, anil
for that happiness he gives full credit
to Palne's celery compound. Read What
he has to say about the medicine:
"I am always ready to recommend
Palne's celery compound when I hear of
a case similar to my own. Home live
years ago I was suffering; from head
aches which were sometimes so severe
during working hours of the night that
I would clap niy hands over niy head
to 'hold the top on,' the pain being ex
cruciating. These attacks would occur
sometimes ns often us three times a
Week. Sleep was out of the question,
the pillow seeming but a block of wood.
"Just at the time I was suffering
most 1 bought a bottle of Palne's celery
compound, began at once to take It,
and before a week had passed the
headaches began to disappear. I felt
almost a new mun before the buttle) was
emply. I purchased more, and for two-
Paris when she saw her. Officer
TIerney and others who shadowed the
couple testified to criminal acts be
tween Mrs. li'.l'b und Holtham on the
night of April 24 ill the Alahoti house.
An Alibi Is the Defense.
Attorney Davis opened the case for
the defense, which pins its faith on an
alibi. .Miss Annie Sllverstine, a bru
nette, with a predillctioii fur frowning,
curling her lip and saying, "N'aw,"
Instead of no In answer to questions,
swore that she was with Mrs. Robb on
the night or April 24. Air. Robb was
away from home and she slept with
his wife at the latter's request. Hol
tham was not in company with Mrs.
Robb at any time during that night.
Manuger Breehtpl, of the National ho
tel, Hotiesdale, was put on the stand
anil swore thut Holtham was a guest
at that hotel from noon on Tuesday,
April 211, until Thursday morning. April
2.". Holtham'H nam.' appears on the
register on Hie llrst line under date of
April 2:i. It appears ugaln us the hist
nu.me under the date of April 2-1. The
commonwealth will argue that the reg
ister wus doctored to usslst ill curry
ing out the alibi.
Why They Will Say It Was Doctored.
If Holthum was a guest. at the hotel
continuously It would not be necessary
for him to register twice, the com
monwealth will argue, and the fact
that the name does appear twice is evi
dence that It was put there recently
to assist In establishing the theory set
foi'th by the defense. The common
wealth also claims to -be able to show
that Holtham was In this city on April
24. This morning the defense will rest
and then evidence In rebuttal on the
part of commonwealth will be heard.
A verdict of not guilty was returned
in tho case of William Edmunds, of
Arohbald, charged with carrying con
cealed weaqwiw, und the costs placed on

Hugh Gaffney was found guilty of ns
nault and battery, and his wife, Mary

directed to pay the costs.

feeling of general weakness, she being
at that time much 'run down' and never
feeling well enough to perform the
work of the home. Within a week she

ever in her life,' nnd similar reports
came f(om all our friends to whom we
had recommended It.
"I feel confident that In nervous head
aches and a "run down' system the
compound will be beneficial every time,
If not a perfect cure.
"In some instances we have not only
recommended It, but furnished It to
very aged friends, and the effect of one
bottle has seemed marvelous, one par
ticular old friends of mine telling me
that 'before one bottlo Jiad 'been used
he 'feilt at least ten years younger, and
certainly had not felt as good for ten
yea rs.'
"During1 the last live years I have
used a great many bottles of the com
poundthat Is, In my home. I am
positive thut it is a sure cure for ner
vous headaches and a, broken-down
feeling, especially in the case of elderly
persona.
"There Is one case In particular I call
to mind, in which Palne's celery com
pound asserted Its good qualities. We
had a young married lady friend, who
was nursing her 4-yenr-old child, nnd
found that she could not perform her
household duties on account of the
weak condition she seemed always to
be In. On the recomhmendatlon of my
wife und myself xhe took one bottle of
the compound, nnd before two weeks
had passed was able to do her own

Figures Compiled by Secretary Atberton,
of tho Hoard of Trade.
' In looking through the columns of
"The Ohio -Valley Manufacturer," pub
lished at Wheeling, W. Va., Secretary
D. B. Atherton, of the board of trade,
observed the following table of the cost
of mainenance of electric lights, street
arc lamps, giving the expense of each
light of 2,000 candle power burning all
night and every night for the year:
Albany, N. Y.. $182.50: Brooklyn, N.
Y.. $182.&0: Buffalo, N. Y $146; Phila
delphia, $177; Cambridge,' Mass., $180;
Lowell, Mass., 5)82; Boston, $237; Wash
ington, D. C, $211); Worcester, Mass.,
$200; Bcranlton, $S0; New York city,
J127.&0.
It shows that the Electric City dis
counts them all. Mr. Atherton's opin
ion, and It Is one that commands at
tention, Is that the relative profits of
these companies, .has nothing whatever
to do with the disparity In the prices
of electricity. By the figures It will be
not-Iced thut BufTulo and New York city
are next to -Scran torn In cheapness of
lights, and Mr. Atherton bases that
condition on the cost of fuel at these
places. Both of them ore, lu fact, the
distributing coaling stations of the
country, and they have the advantage
of cost prices in the coal market.
Scranton's cheap el'triclty, he says,
is due to Ihe low price of fuel, which
can be had at from 25 to W) cents a ton.
Ha Is ojilhuslastlcally rmidy to pro
claim that -eledtrlolty can be manufac
tured here rlM-aper than In any other
part of the country outside of north
eastern Pennsylvania. Not electricity
nlone, but also any other manufac
tured product, and he points to the
new Industries that have been attract
ed here by cheap fuel to prove out Ms
assertion.
