Testimony HearJ . vstcrday Before
Alderman Miliar.
ACCUSED IX A VRKY BAD PLACE
lie Admitted That He Cannot Hoed or
Write and Had No I'.xaet Knowl
edge of What Was In the Af
fidavit lie Swore To.
The hearing In the case of Henry
Bchlents. charged with perjury in
swearing out a warrant accusing Henry
Slmrell of Irregularities while acting on
the election board in the First district
of the Twentieth ward, was re-opened
before , Alderman Millar yesterday
morning. It continued from 10 o'clock
a. m. to ?..?.( p. id., with hii Intermission
of an hour and it half for dinner, and
was attended throughout by an audi
ence which tilled the otllce to overllow
Ing. As the case irosres'sed It became
very evident that the prosecution was
niuking nut a strong case and the as
sumed nochalunce of the defendant and
his Instigators, which was so apparent
at first, gave way to a noticeable feel
ing of nervousness and alurm. -Major
Kverett Warren conducted' the pToaeeu
tlon and George M. Watson, of the linn
of Wuison & Zimmerman, appeared for
the defense.
A host of reputable witnesses called
by the jirosecutlon testified that there
were m irregularities at the poll, and
of the few pluced on the stand by -the
defense ttchlenlz himself was 'the' uuly,
one who swore positively of having any
direct knowledge that crookedness tXfik
pluve. He also- weakened on -cross-ext-"
ainliiation uud by his own udmiasioiHi
explained away the greater part A(,the
alleged Irregularities.' One thing
brought out by Mr. Warren "which
caused a smile to play over the faces
of the spectators, and which brought
the defendant's attorney to hls.feeti-wlth
a string of futile objections, was, that
Schletite can neither read nor write and
c'liisequenLly did not know what was
on the affidavit he swore to. except as
he was told, und further that he Hid not
engage .Mr. Watson to dereiid him, and
hud no knowledge of who his attorney
was to be unt'l directed to Mr. Wat
son's office.
, i)Vhut tho Testimony Showed. . ,
The testimony otfered by the prose
cution tended to show tljat matters
were so un anged that every voter could
see the election board and the ballot
box and that his ballot was tallied und
placed In the box und that a fair count
whs mude before witnesses. It was
also brought out that Schleiita admit
ted lifter the election that a fair count
laid been made.

that they had attended the election,
saw no Iregularities. heard no chal
lenges made by tfchlentst and that
everything was carried on peacefully
and In an orderly way.
Julian Cooper, - the successful dele
gate, was present at the poll from 3.4."i
o'clock till the election was over. One
vote was rejected to his knowledge,
but he did not remember whose It was.
Schlentx and himself, at the request of
Hon. Alex T. Connell. witnessed the
count of the votes. The votes were
counted In their presence and they
could see everything that was going
on. He did not see Mr. Slmrell going
out with the box but saw him coming
back. So far as he knew iio tickets
were tnken from the box and no rules
of the party were broken. On cross
examination, in answer to Mr. Wat
son's question, he stated that he heard
Mr. Schlentz make some remark about
taking the ballot box out of the room,
but he saw nothing wrong In that. He
denied any knowledge of Schlentz hnv
Ing said "I have nothing against you,
but will settle with Slmrell later."
Mr. Jones, who was Mr. Slmrell's col
league on the election board, was re
called by Mr. Watson and stated that
they had rejected the vote of Joseph
Kuane and his ballot was not placed
in the box.
Schlents Placed on the Stand.
The defense opened at 11 o'clock by
putting Schlonts on the stand. He re
Iterated his alleged perjury contained
in the affidavit and described the Irreg
ularities which he claims he saw.
He said that he saw Slmrell take
three tickets out of the box and when
he expostulated with hlni, Slmrell de
nied the accusation. He testified that
Slmrell went out of the room .with the
box and was gone three or four min
utes. After the -count he claims he
said to Cooper, "I got a square count
here. You and I are friends, but I. will
settle with Slmrell later."
Major Warren thea took Schlentz on
cross-examination. He asked him
among other questions if he was not a
candidate In the interests of Moir.
Westpfahl and Davles. Mr. Wutscn
objected, whereupon Major Warren ad
dressed the court, explaining thut he
wanted to show that Bchlentx had been
trapped Into making the false affidavit
by a wing of the party which aimed at
Its destruction.
"Don't you know thnt Slmrell and
Jones conducted the election' fairly?"
asked Major Warren.
"No, sir."
"Ho you swear that they didn't?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you swear on your oath that Plm
rell and Joufcs were dishonest that
day?"
"1 think they were."
"In what respect?"
"In taking the ballots out of the box.
I was about four feet from Slmrell. and
saw him take three ballots out of the
box. The ballots stuck half way in the
slot, and Slmrell drew them out."
"Isn't It the time that Mr. Ruane
came there to vote, that Slmrell took
the ballot and had it half way in the
box when Mr. Jones stopped him. say
ing Ruane was not a Republican, and
hud no right to vole; and that Mr.
Slmrell then drew the ballot out?"
Mr. Sehlentz Didn't Know.
"I don't know whether it Is or not."
"Do you know of any man who came
there that day to vote and the board
would not let him vote?"
"Yes, sir. Kugene Menllet."
' "Why didn't they let him vote?"
'"Because they Huld he wus u Demo
crat." "Do you think It is wrong for them to
stop a man wbu In a Democrat?"
"Not if he Is a Democrat. Hut he said
that he split his tickets and voted on
either side." i
Major Warron after this succeeded
against the strenuous objections, of Mr.
Watson In making: Hchlentx admit that
he did not hire Mr. Watson and Hint
Charles Westpfahl accompli nted him to
Watson & Zfmineimpn's otllce. (in re
direct examination after th- recess Mr.
Schlentz admitted to Major Warren
that he did not know the nilos of the
Republican party whb'h in liis utililnvlt
he swore had been violated.
John Miller said he dlil not see Mr.
Slmrell shove his ballot nil Hie way
Into the box but had no cause to be
lieve that It did nut eventually go in. .
Charles Asperwhlauer tlioUKht the
election was tllnhouestly conducted.
Major Vvarren showed that Axper
schlnger was on enemy of Slmreirs.

Crime of . I'ortjery.
HR IS DIREC1ED. TO PAY COSTS
Treasurer of the I'efunct Olyphan
Uank Wus Very fortunate-Proprietor
Uhyta of Hotel Terrace Not
Guilty of Assault aud Putloi j.
At S.4S festerday afternoon a verdict
of "not guilty but pay the coats" was
rendered by the Jury In the ease of the
commonwealth against Treasurer M.
J. Stone, of the defunct Olyphanl Trust
company.- The finding of tho Jury was
generally commended and many felici
tations were accorded to the defendant.
District Attorney John It Jones
made out a very strong: case. The de
fense held to the line thut Mr. Stone
hud been guilty of nothing more than
an error of Judgment. The case was
resumed at 9 o'clock In the morning
when court convened und us charac
ter witnesses the following persona
were called: Attorneys M. W. Lowry,
II. M. Streeter and Frank T. Okt-ll; L.
M. Ilorton. J. L. Stelle. 11. G. Dunham,
C. M. Whlttemore, Frederick Shear
and City Solicitor Jumeu II. Torrey.
They testified to the honesty aud up
rightness of Mr. Stone and to the con
fidence reposed In him.
Mrs. Nettle A. Stone, the defendant's
wife, went on the stand and testified
that her husband hud absolute power
to sign her name In any transaction
that he chose. She had an Individual
deposit In the Olyphant Trust com
pany's bank and he had permission to
sign her name in the use of that amount
or to an unlimited amount. But he did
not tell her of the note of $3,000 to
which he signed her nume until after
the bauk want into an Insolvent con
dition. Kvidcnee Was Huled Out.
Hon. John P. Kelley, assignee of the
bank, was called by the defense and
it was offered to prove by him that the
notes drawn by Mr. Stone in the names
of other persons, worked no harm to
any person coticernoxl. Judge Arch
bald would not allow the evidence, sus
taining the objection of Mr. Jones to
Its admissibility. The defense then
rested and no testimony was offered in
rebuttal.
Mr. Comegys made an eloquent ad
dress to the Jury for the defense and
was followed by District Attorney
Jones for the commonwealth, whose
argument was clear, logical and easy
to grasp. The charge of Judge Arch
bald was finished at S o'clock In the
afternoon and in one hour and forty
rive minutes the verdict was brought
In. There Is a case against Mr. Stone
charging him with embezzlement but
It will likely be nolle prossed In view of
the verdict of the Jury In the forgery
cuse.
Superintendent Theodore Wolf, of
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany, was the next defendant. The
charge against him was assault and
battery upon Thomas Green, a boy
about sixteen years obi, living with his
parents on the South Side. District
Attorney Jones represented the com
monwealth and Attorney Joseph
O'Brien the defendant.
If ,Mr. Wolfe were defending himself
In a court of equity Instead of the crim
inal court where statute covers the ac
tion, he would undoubtedly receive a
reward rather than punishment. Ills
offense consisted of slapping an Inso
lent boy with the hack of his hand
when the circumstances Justified ad
ministering a good kicking. Judge
Archibald's charge to tho jury was as
follows: "Gentlemen, it, Is unnecessary
for me to charge you In this case.
Bring in your verdict In the morning."
Tried Bcforo Judgo Unnstcr.
The first case tried In No. 2 court
room before Judge Gunster was against
Joseph It Osgood, charged with false
pretenses. Charles II. Clause was prose
cutor. Attorney George D. Taylor rep
resented the commonwealth nnd Hon.
John P. Kelley the defendant. The
facts In the case are as follows: The
defendant got the prosecutor to sign
a note for ?3a0 as security and It was
alleged that he represented that he was
worth t.iOO. Before the note was due
the sheriff seized Osgood's property and
sold him out so that lie was not able to
meet the obligation for which the note
was given as security and Clause had
to pay the money. It was a New York
firm to which the note wus payable.
The parties live In Moscow. The Jury
had not brought in a verdict at adjourn
ment. In the assault and battery case whore
W. H. Whyte, proprietor of Hotel Ter
race, was defendant and Charles Perry
prosecutor, a verdict of not guilty was
found and the costs were divided in
equal proportion. Mr. Whyte was
charged with using more force tliun
waa necessary In dealing with impu
dence on the part of the prosecutor.
Verdicts of not guilty were taken in
the following cases: August Julo, as
sault and battery; Frank Kavlolu.
prosecutor; Robert Turnbull, assault
and battery; J. C. Kromer, prosecutor;
George F, Anthony, violating game
laws; S. J. Hinds, prosecutor.
