District Attorney John It. Jones cleared
tho record of over thirty case yester
day, which lias not been surpassed or
even equalled any one day heretofore.
J. W. Uardner, the insurance frau.1.
who went about representing himself
as 11. A. Luce and who was indicted on
ten different charges for carrying; on a
wholesale system of swindling; roor
people, was called tip for trial, and he
made up his mind It was bettei to ilend
guilty. Judge Archbald asked the pris
oner the reason for his crimes, and the
court was for over five minutes reftaled
with nn elou'nt confession. fiardii-r
admitted that he wns bad: that the
evil spirit lurked In his bones for over
twenty years and Impelled him to com
mit sins mid erinies without number,
but a chungre has come about ami
things are ili!Yere"t now; the anprel of
light hits crossed his path, he said, and
the evil habits are put aside lor new
resolutions and an entirely different
life.
The court Inquired of Gardner how
many times the same story had been
told before uiuler similar clrcumstan-es.
"I think 1 have seen you here before. "
said the court. "I wns here once."
"Have vou not been here more than
once?" asked the court. "I have been
here twice," said tlardner, solemnly.
"1 was twice . in the penitentiary.
"Have you not been here belore when
vou were sentenced for horse steuliiiK-'"
"That was my tlrst offense." "It seems
to me. snld Judge Archbald, "that at
that time vou had a pretty bad record.
"Hut," snld Gardner, "I have since re
formed. 1 have changed my life; 1 have
given my heart wholly to iod."
"it seems to me," said the court,
"that the lirst time you were sent to
the penitentiary you mode a similar
plea " He was then sentenced to

Hastern penitentiary.

with the threat that If they did not
, ie with him he would shoot them,
at the sume time taking the weapon

doing.

next culprit. He was Indited for lar
ceny and Attorney John T. Martin
defended him. The charge ngalnst

lifted the stone out of its place. A
Bible, Jiyinn book, and a list of the
names of church members was under
the stone, but no money.
He denied in detail every part of the
charge except that he pried the tttone
from its position. He acquiesced lit
this allegation but eiidenvered to con
vey the lmprcHHlon that he took noth
ing when he found no money. The
Jury found him guilty and when he
was called up for Sentence It uppeured
that be was in Jail before for stealing.
The sentence In this event was a line

quarrelsome. He was put out by f!lb
bons and out of revenge he broke lx

Before the testimony of the common
wealth's witnesses was heard the de
fendant withdrew his plea of not guilty.
He will be sentenced Saturday.
Daniel I.angnn and Will Lynch rere
the next defendants. They were rep
resented by Attorney John J.
Murphy, John J. Schmidt, an
old veteran of the South Side,
was prosecutor. one night not
over three months ago the defendants
were out lnte as usual and so wan
Schmidt. The three were under the
inuence of liquor. The prosecutor held
a flask of whiskey In his pocket and he
alleged because he refused to give them
a drink of the liquor, they knocked him
down and beat him. The case went to
the Jury at adjournment. t
Workingmcn'n Hall Liijiiot Cane. .
In No. 2 court room Fred Stackel and
August Yobs were tried before Judge
(iinster on three charges; selling liquor
without a license, selling liquor on
Sunday, and selling it to minors. Mrs.
Phillopena Diesing was the prosecutrix.
Attorney Charles I. Hawley and As
sistant District Attorney John M. Har
ris were for the commonwealth and At
torney John- F. Scragg represented the
defendants.. The Jury went out to de
liberate at adjournment.
Stackel and Yobs are the custodians
of W'orkingmen's hall. Prospect ave
nue and Alder street. South Side, and
Intoxicating liquor was ken on tap
there for the private use of the mem
bers of the organization renting the
hall. A ball was run and so much was
charged for tickets of admission. The
ticket entitled the holder to participate
in the dance and enjoy liquid refresh
ments furnished.
. Mr. Pcragg held that a chartered or
ganization, such a the -one' renting
Workingtrten'a hall bad the right to
have drink on hand and dispensing It
to guesta was not a violation of the
et se laws. .'Judge!' Ounster . did Hot
take this vb w of th law and cbalged
the Jury that a conviction under the
evidence of the defendants themselves
was the only logical result. The men
admitted they furnished liquor to those
who came to the hall and paid to get in.
The court held that this was receiv
ing1 money for drink Just the same as
if It were sold lii the ordinary speak
easy. The right of on organization to
have liquor on hand and dispense it to
assembled guests was not denied, but
It is a violation of the law where ud
mlssion is paid for at any price.
Very I ngallaiit liscort.
Michael JIcLoughlln, of the West
Ride, was convicted of robbing: Katie
McDavitt of a pocketbook containing
$11. Attorney M. J. Walsh defended
him and the commonwealth was rep
resented by Mr. Harris. On October 19
last defendant and prosecutor were at
a ball in M cars' hall and at 11. 30 they
took a walk out, it being very balmy
weather. Down West Lackawanna
avenue they came to Seventh street
and from there they got on Love road
that skirts the Lackawanna river.
They sat down to hear what the
waves were saying and it was here
that McLaughlin robbed her. btit she
did not miss her pocketbook until after
she grot home. McLaughlin went on a
big drunk and snout the $11. Kvery
chalice was given to hint to restore the
money but he made no attempt to
settle up. He will be sentenced on Sat
urday. COKSE lAYTON COMPANY.
Last Night's Splendid Performance at the
I'rotbincham Thcotor.
The Corse Pnyton company which
last night opened a week's engagement
at the Krothingham theater is entitled
to a crowded house at each perform
ance, and the company will surely be
accorded such a reception throughout
the week if last night's production of
"The (lalley Slave" is any criterion.
Of the many high-priced attractions
which have visited Seranton this sea
son many have not compared with the
Payton company In Its elaborate scen
ery, beautiful electrical effects and
splendid stage arrangements. Appar
ently to the Payton company, a draw
ing room or garden scene means some
thing more than cheaply painted scen
ery which the audience can never take
for granted is meant to represent the
drawing room or the garden. Kvery
detail of stage setting, even to the most
pivi.-riillcant article, lacking In all but
good attractions, Is used and a special
car transports them from city to city.
Aside from the staging the merit of
the company as a wholc-nnd individual
ly is much better than any seen In
Seranton this season for a low price of
admission. Kach iierformnnee contains
some good specialties, and between the
acts a stereoptieon entertains the audi
ence. Last night's production saw Kirk
Brown, an actor of no little promise, as
Sidney .Vorcott, the galley slave. Mr.
Payton essayed the comedy role of
Kranklln Kitts and shared with !raco
Kos. ns Psyche t!uy. the applause of
the Inrgre audience ,1'or the two parts,
companion to ench other. The other
members of the company creditably
portrayed their respective characters,

aence In five divorce proceedings being

The tlrst hearing" was the case of Jen
nie Chromes against John L. Chromes,
an ex-member of the Seranton nolice
force. They were married on March
26, 1S7B. and lived together until three
years ago, when Chronics went away
nnd has not returned to his wife and
home since. She heard he came buck
to .Seranton since, but he did not call on
her. The last she heard of him was a
short while ago, when the Information
came that he was In the Luzerne coun
ty prison, for what offense she could not
state. Attorney John F. Scragg rep
resented the libellant.
The second case was that of John
Chase against his wife, Kmma O. Chase.
Attorney li. H. Holgate appeared for
Mr. Chase. They were married in Iowa
In li:K. Chase came to La Plume, this
county, in ls0, but his wife did not ar
rive until nearly two years later. On
July 11, ISM. she informed him that the
country hereabouts did not suit her and
she left him. Notwithstanding several
efforts to get her buck, she refused.
Mrs. Nicholl Left Her Home.
Samuel Nlchoils against Priscllla
Nicholls. was the next case. Attorney
Scragg represented the libellant. This
couple lived happily together down near
the Sibley, along the back road, In Old
Forge township, until two years ago.
The husband did not know what year
lie was married to her, but two children
were born. They are now dead, how
ever. One evening when he came home
from work, he found her absent. She
was away three days, and Investiga
tion taught him that she had forfeited
all right thereafter to preside over his
household. He refused to condone her
action and she then went to live with
an Italian saloonkeeper named Mike
Boss nt the Sibley, whose wife was
dead. She left I loss and took up with
a shoemaker named Joe Williams.
Testimony was offered to prove that
she has since been leuding a very dissi
pated life.
Maud Churchill wus the next un
happy person complaining of married
life. She Is seeking separation from
her husband, William Krltss. The libel
lant needs no introduction to Seranton
folks. Sin was a very pretty young
lady and she still retains her beauty,
when she went away with Fritz and
was married to htm in the city hull.

tion from her husband'John F. tlchllng.
to whom she was married nearly u
years ago. They lived on the West
Side und one evening three years ago
he went out ufter supper without say
ing a word. She ilid not mind that,
but when he did not return ut the usual
time, she got worried, linking about
the room she suw a note lying on the
table bidding her good-by. No Infor
mation was contained in It Hlutiu;;
where he was going or when he would
be buck. She has not seen him tiiice.
