What the current week of criminal court ending today has been specially r.otd for is the way in which the juries disfHised of the cases. In a majority of the sixty-six cases on the list verdicts of not guilty were returned and thecosts were equaly divided between prose cutors nnd defendants. District Attor ney John K. Jones Is entitled to much credit for the business-like manner in which he facilitates the business of the courts. The first case tried In the main court room yesterday was against Joseph K. Osgood, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. Charles H. Clause was the prosecutor. District Attorney Jones and Attorney George D. Taylor represented the commonwealth and the defendant's attorneys were John P. Kelley, Joseph O'Urien and W. . Hn.vlor. Mr. Kelly, when the case begnn, moved to take It from the Jury for the reason that the Incitement as made out. charged the defendant has obtained money, when lie did not receive any at all. He simply seenred the signature of the prosecutor to a paper. Judge Punly ruled tliHt the case should be tried nnd let the evidence be heard. Hoth parties live In Moscow. The testimony showed that Osgood got Clause to sign a Judgment note as Indorser. The beneficiary of the note was a New York Arm. It was for $.1.".(. The prosecutor did not recelv the money, but the New Y'ork firm did, and although Clause was that much out. the cour; directed the Jury to find a verdict of acquittal, because the prose cutor had not received the money him self. Immediately another warrant was issued fnr Osgood before Alderman Wright by clause and he was held in $.-00 ball to appear at court. I.. A. Os good, of Jul-ilee, tills county, become his bondsman. rnllcd Him n Vile Name. Tame migiillon was next trld for assault nnd battery on Jacob liioh. a Hebrew Mr. .Jones nnd Atto.ney Nathan Vldaver were for the common wealth, nnd although Mr. Oilgallon con dueled his own case, he did not have a fool for n client. The two men were employed in the construction of tl.- ad dition to the Hmiqimit Hllit factory cm the; South Side. The defendant said the prosecutor called him a vil name and for that remark he struck Klch wilh a shovel on the bead. The jury brought in a verdict of acquittnl and divided the costs equally. A verdict of not utility was returned In the ense of Mary Mahalko charged with assaulting Pauline Dchofskl with a broom, a lire shovel and a coal scut tle. The costs were equally divided be tween the two. tieorge AV. Decker, jr.. of the West Side, was found not guilty of aggra vated assault and battery upon lhird unrenmn C, I..- Ileers, of North Main avenue, but the defendant was directed to pay thecosts. Louis Thomas of Win ton, chnrged with assault and battery pleaded guilty nnd was sentenced to a line of (1 and costs. Unil was forfeited In the case of Martin Sula. charged with aggravated assault and battery upon Charles Sutler; the defendant's father. Henry Sulz, Is bondsman In the sum of JfiOO, The surety case of Miss Mary Uobb against W. J. Uobb was settled and stricken from the list. Joseph Olcheskl nnd frank Zalcfskl were sentenced to the cMits and so was James Gllgallon and Mary Mahalko. The case of as sault and battery against Robert Turn bull, of Dnlton, by J. C. Kronier. of the sane vllluge, was tried. The district attorney and Attorney C. Comegys represented the stnte and Attorney It. H. Ilolgate, the defendant. lie fore the store Committee. I,nst March the trouble occurred In the store of C. K. Finn at Dalton. They had some words on the street about each other's character. Turnbull Is a baker and he charged Kromer.who Is an engineer on the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western, with owing him 65 cents for bread, and that he had to turn In a bill to the railroad company against Kronier to get Ills money out of him. Kronier then made serious charges against Turnbull. The jury returned the defendant guilty of simple assault. Mr. Holgate asked the court to take the case from the Jury for the reason that Turnbull was tried before a Justice of the peace and a Jury of six and the Jury disagreed. Judge Purdy let the ense go to the jury and Is holding that question under advisement. John Haggerty; jr., was tried for as sault and battery upon Mrs. Daniel Haggerty. Attorney John R Edwards wns for the iKimmonwcalth and Attor ney Joseph O'HHen for the defendant. The charge was that one day last sum mer the young man struck her with n picket on the head and severely Injured her. The defense wns that the woman's husband nttneked him and thut he had to defend himself, but did not strike Mrs. Haggerty. Itoth parties live on the West Side. The Jury went out at 4.15 to find a verdict. Abner Pisner was put on trial for stealing a gold ring set with pearls nnd a ruby from a young man named San--ford Kngel on March IS last. Stella Clayton figures as prosecutrix. Kngel got the ring from Fannie Truesdell. his cousin, and was wearing It. . He and Posner were employed as table waiters at Hroad llros.' oyster house on Penn avenue. Kngel went Into the kitchen to wash his hands and took the ring off his finger, laying It down on a shelf near by. After performing the ablution he turned around to cet the ring and It was gone. Only One in the Kitchen. Posner was the only one In the kitchen nt the lime and ha was afterward seen In Green's shop on lower Lackawanna avenue; he Is-charged with the theft. The testimony of Kngel was all that was heard. District Attorney Jones represents the commonwealth and At torney George 8. Horn the defendant. - Two cases were tried In No. 2 before Judge McCl'ure. The lirst was the one where L. Freedman waB the defendant and Schuyler C. Gernon prosecutor. Assistant District Attorney John AJ. Harris and Attorney George M.

Mr. Gernon questioned him as to his finan cial condition and the defendant said that he only owed J3M). and upon the strength of this statement they shipped to him $600 worth of goods. About four days after the defendant was closed by the sheriff of Wyoming; county on a confessed Judgment note to a Philadelphia firm. The defendant testified that when Mr. Uernon and he were talking about the purchase of the goods he told Mr. Gernon that he had purchased that day about $00 dollars worth of goods from pther Scranton merchants, but that he did not state that ho only owed $200, and that tho confessed Judgment note upon which he was closed by the sheriff was given for prior indebtedness. Sheriff Knapp. Dr. Wells and other prominent citizens of Wyoming county testified ai to the good reputation of the defendant for ' honesty and fair dealing. The case went to the Jury about 3.3U o ciuck. Struck Mm a Suino. case of the commonwealth The against Michael Varshnock was next tried. John Soperskl, the prosocutor. testified that In September last the de fendant struck him with a stone on tho head without any provocation.

E. C. Newcomhe, attorney for the prosecutor, strted that two persons in formed Mr. ltoche that the defendants boasted on the night previous to the burglary that they were going to "do" some place down the street. These two Informants could not be found, and as the only other evidence was that Mornn and McAndrew had been seen going down Lackawanna avenue nn opposite sides of the street within a few minutes of each other, Mr. Newcombe did not ask to have them held for court. .
