TIIKKE MONTHS' SENTENCE.
Imposed on tho Man Who Counterfeited
a Trade Mark.
The Carter Medicine company has
been engaged for the lust month in
running down a gang In this city who
have iM-en mnklng and selling a coun
terfeit of Its trademark "Carter's Little
Liver Pills." 'Notices have appeared of
several arrests which the company has
made. For a week past one of these
cas?s has been on trial In the court of
special sessions, before Justices Jerome,
Jacob and Hayes. The prisoner was
Thomas U. Hughes, a druggist at 2S1
Tenth avenue. tin Wednesday the
prisoner was found guilty and sen
tenced to three months In the peniten
tiary. In delivering the sentence of
the court. Presiding Justice Jerome
said:
"Hughes, the court after a long and
careful trial, has come reluctantly to
the conclusion that you are a guilty
man. The whole value of ninny of
these articles lies In the trademark.
Thousands und hundreds of thousands
of dollars are spent annually In plac
ing them before the public. If the pub
lic cannot rely upon these articles, then
a fraud Is being practiced upon them,
and upon the proprietary rights of
those persons who own trademarks.
New York is a great commercial city
and trademarks are as important to
this city ns Integrity Is to a coiner.
This Is a class of cases which this court
does not look upon with any leniency
ut all. Tile sentence of the court is
that you be coniliu'd In the penitentiary
for a term of three months."
The Justice uiso intimated that but
for the prisoner's previous record and
the fact that he had been In Jail for
some time the sentence would have
been much heavier. New Y'ork Trib

r
illING WITH
McLaaghlin Wanted to Find Out What
He Knew About Huberts' Case.
SUCH WAS THE EXPLANATION
Judge Edwards Expressed Himself Very
Forcibly About the Effort to Tamper
with tho Witness-Mrs. Roberts
Seeks to Kocovcr S5O.O00.
Judge Edwards Is the trial judge In
the suit begun yesterday morning in
the main court room, wherein Mrs.
.Mary 'Huberts Is plaintiff and the Dela
ware and Hudson Canal company di
fendant. Attorney J. Alton Davis and
Major Kverett Warren represent Mrs.
Roberts and Judge Jessup und W. 11.
Jessup, Jr., are attorneys for the rail
road company. The suit Is for dam
ages In the sum of $."o,ooo.
On Oct. 18, 1X92. .Hugh Roberts, hus
band of the plainlin, then employed by
John Uenore & Son, lumber dealers,
was driving to Providence with a load
of lumber and at the Carbon street
crossing of the Delaware and -Hudson
company u passenger train struck the
wagon; he was seated on It. and he re
ceived such injuries that he died live
days lateral the 'Laekii wanna hospital.
It Is alleged by. the plaintiff that the
death of Roberts was caused by the
negligence of the defendant company
by reason of the failure of the watch
man ut the crossing to lower the gates.
The widow was the first one sworn;
she testilled to having been married to
Hugh Roberts ten months prior to Iris
death. Nine duys before the accident
happened she gave birth to twins, und
they were In court with her yesterday.
They are bright and pretty little girls.
Mrs. Roberts Is a handsome woman,
about 25 years of uge. Her husband
was 24 years old when ne got killed and
was earning 40 a month. Dr. 11. H.
Gurdner was coroner nt the time of the
accident, and the verdict rendered was
that "the accident happened because of
the failure of the watchman to close
the gates."
Mild the Crossing Un Dangerous.
Civil Engineer K. A. Rartl swore that
he made a map of Carbon street and is
well acquainted with the railroad cross
lug. He suid that ut a distance of
twenty feet from the track on the east
side of the crossing It would be totally
impossible to see a train farther than
sity-tive feet away on the Green Ridge
side, owing to the obstruction of the
houses on the right side of the street
going toward Providence.
Dr. W. G. Fulton, who nttended Rob
erts at the Lackawanna hospital, testi
lled that the deceased was a strong,
healthy man ordinarily, and that lie
died from Inflammation of the brain
brought on by an accident. Assistant
City Clerk Evan R. Morris testltled
that an ordinance had been passed by
tne jMty requiring the railroad com
puny to place gates at the Carbon
street crossing and ut the -New street
crossing. An ordinance regulating the
speed or trains, pussed In lftsx, was of
fered in evidence. It was signed by
Colonel E. H. Ripple, the muyor, and
provided that trains must not run In
excess of six miles an hour within the
city limits.
W. A. Rcnore, timekeeper for John
llenore & Son, testified that the de
ceased was a strong, healthy man, nnd
earned $1.55 per day. He had been In
the employ of the lumber firm fourteen
months prior to his death and was a
very steady man. A Mrs. Coar, who
lives near the crossing, testltled that
she observed on that day that the
watchman at the crossing wns not at
tending to his duty, that the gates were
not tjwered before the train cume ulong
and killed Roberts.
Johnson's Testimony.
Ben Johnson, the colored ashman
from Kelley's Patch, was the next wit
ness. One "Jack" MaLoughlln. of Olv
pliant, was brought up before Judge
Edwards to answer the serious charge
of having tried to loud the colored man
so full of Intoxicants that he would be
unable to testify. McLoughlin had been
following Johnson for several days amj
was very friendly with him, purchasing
nqnnr witnout stint.
MciLoughlln said that he had seen
the colored man at the instance of De
tective i.Martln Crlppen, of the Dela
ware and Hudson, and Judge Jessup
sant mat uetectlve crlppen had In
structed McLoughlin to follow the ash
man with no other object In view than
to see what he knew about the accident,
It having been noised around that
Johnson had a cock nnd bull story of
his own manufacture to tell when he
got on the witness stand.
Judge Edwards denounced the pro
ceeding of tampering with the witness
as outrageous.
Johnson swore that he was going to
the garbage dump on the other side
of the river and was driving with a
load of ashes right behind Roberts.
That Roberts wns on his own wagon
and when he came to the Carbon street
crossing stopped and listened for nn
approaching train. The gates were up
nnd Roberts, after listening nnd stop
ping for a minute and a half, started up
his team and drove onto the track.
Just ns 'Roberts was upon the tracks
with his wagon he was struck by the
passenger train. The witness was posi
tive that the watchman at the crossing
had not lowered the gates, but that he
was reading a newspaper la he shanty.
Wnnted tn Prove llhn n Thief.
In order to brenk down tho credibil
ity of the witness Judge Jessup asked
Mr. Johnson on cross-examination If
he had not once upon a time been con
victed on his own admission of stealing
chickens, nnd If at another time he had
not been arrested on the charge of
highway robbery for holding up a boy
and taking t- from him. objection was
made to these question. Judge Jessup
told the court thnt the purpose was to
show that the witness was a notorious
thief. Johnson denied all the Impeuch
ments throughout. His answers were
rendered throughout his testimony in
true darkey style and they created
much merriment In court. 'He was on
the stand when court adjourned.

Staples against the borough of Areh
