Idtlgntlun In the Cornelius Smith dls
bniinent cue Is now at an etui The
lust cmiit of appeal, the supiome bench
ot Pennsylvania, yesterduy handed
down an opinion nlllrinlng the dueling
of the local court and dismissing Jlr.
Smith's appeal, bilnglng to an end the
most sensational ense that has ever
come befoic tho T.aeUawnnna courts.
Iu September, 189::, the case of .lames
Jennings against the Lehigh Valley
liallioad company was called for tilal
COHKCI.U'S SMITH.
befoio the late Judgu John F. Connolly.
Ji linings' son was in the Mud Hun dls-ast-i
and lecelved, It was claimed,
permanent Injuiles for which compen
sation was nkod. The company al
leged that the Jennings boy had not
been Injuied but was sulTeilng fiom a
malfoi uintioii of the In east. After lis
tening to conlllctlng expoit anil other
testimony for Keveral days the Juiy
In ought In a veidlct for $5,000. which
Judge Connolly Immediately set aside
a being unrea'onable and cxhoibltant.
Then it was the sensational featuies
ot the case began. Cornelius Smith,
the attorney for Jennings, In moving
for a new tiial chaiged Judge Connolly,
who hnd died in the meantime, with
having entered Into an agi cement with
I. II. Hill ns by which the veidlct afore
said was to be set aside. He was lepri
manded seveiely In open couit for this
nttatk but blib'-equently he lepcaled It
in nrlous foims on diffcicnt occa
sions among otheis in a petition to the
supreme coutt In the year 1S93 when
hi chaiged: "That tlletc and then Ira
II. Horns, solicitor, hud proem ed ft 0111
the Honoiable Judge Connolly an
ngi cement to set nside any veidlct
which the jury should render In favor
of the plalnlifi." For this attack, Mr.
Hums In libel pioceedings, seemed n
veidlct foi $15,000.
AVHOLHSALr; ACCCFATIONS.
Mr. Smith nlso made a wholesale at
tack on everybody connected with the
case by bilnglng pioceedings In his cli
ent's nnme against tho Lehigh Valley
company Judge It. Vv Aichbald, Major
Hveiett Wan en and Ira II. Hums, the
nttotneys lor the comiianj ; K, N. Wll
laid, who was Mr. Wan en's law patt
1111, Hon. Lemuel Ainetinan, who act
ed ns the shet Ill's attorney; Piothono
taiy Clatence H. 1'rjor; Deputy l'io
thunr,tat Myion Kasson and Detec
tive Thomas K. Heynolds.
In the declaiatlon In this case, Mr.
Smith declaied that "the defendants
well knowing the ptomlses, but continu
ing and liit"iiding to Injuie the plaln
tllf, conpIied to defeat the action
ntoiesnld, and In puisunnce of snld
combination and conspliacy the defend
ants fabricated and procmed false and
tinlidulent tesllmony against the plaln
tlli' and pioctlicd the veidlct in favor of
th6 plaintiff to lie sot aside "
The case was called and nnnuonce
munt made that It would be tiled be
fote Judge McPheison, of Dauphin
county. Mr. Smith nindo a motlun lor
a change of venue, but his was denied.
He then lefused to ptoceed with the
prosecution of the case and a non-suit
was accordingly enteted.
It was the libel suit Instituted by Mr.
Hums that immediately led up to the
dlsbdiiuent proceedings. Mr. Smith
filed an appeal Horn the awnid of the
aiblttatois In the case, paying the pto-thonatuiy's-
lee with a check. When
the twenty days allowed foi taking an
uppeal lino, elnpsed, the point was
lalsed that no legal uppeal had been
taken ns the fee had not been paid In
cash, as lequlied by law. Mr. Smith
was notified that no valid appeal had
been taken, whereupon he cauied the
matter to aigllment couit. Theie wete
two rule's argued, one to stilke off the
uppeal and the other 1o bet aside the
aw .ml of the aibltiators. Judges Gun
bter and Hdwhids sat on the case.
While waiting for a decision It ap
peals Mr. Smith was led to believe that
Judgu tlunster, on December CO, 1VJ5,
had handed down an opinion favoiable
t,o hlni and aftei wards tecalled It at
the solicitation of Mr. Hums. Mi.
Smith (luestlonod Judge Gunstei on tho
matter and was ussuied that he had
been misinformed. The veiy next day,
Deeembei 31, Ml. Smith sent the tot
lowing lettei to Judge Clunster
LHTTHIl TO TUB JUDGE.
Hon. P. Vv Gunster.
Dear Sli : I confes3 I was puzzled when
youi honor told me you had not handed
down the opinion In the uile to show
taiibe why the appeal should not be stilck
en off. A lespectabie. member of tho b.u
Infoiined me that on lust Monday youi
honoi handed down an opinion dlseli.ug
Ing the iiile, and upon a stutetnent being
mjde by Mr. Iluuu and Mr Kasson, your
honor took baek the opinion for fill titer
lonslderatlon. Hut as oil say uthcivvUe,
I suppose I have been nilsiiifotuied.
Yonts tiuly,
U. Smith.
The membei of the bar refotied to
was Attorney W'edeman, who after
waul testllled that the only Infoimatlon
ho tmvo was that such an opinion had
been handed down nnd that he had
said nnthliis nbout any opinion being
lecalled. Then- wits an oplnionn hand
ed down on the day iu ciuostlun In
which M'. Smith was defendant, but
It was nn entliely diffeient case. Theie
was also an opinion of Hoberts against
Frothlnghnni, Involving the same point
as that upon which the Smth-HuinH
case hinged and that was recalled.
Thus, It is suposed, Mr. Wedeman
made his mistake.
Tluee months later while the case
1 was still In the hands of the judges Mr.
f M
IL y A n)y
Smith wrote nnothor letter to Judge
Gunstor, of which the following Is a
copy:
ScuMon, l'n., March 13, 1S9'5.
Hon. V, W. Climstnr.
Dear Sir lb lug your frloiul from the
ery fit st tlnj of my Intiodttctlon to you,
It would scent that I might ut least cl.ilm
fnlr tlfultnuiit at your hands. Mote tli.111
this 1 do not mint, nor hue elnltnod 111010.
It being stated to 1110 that In open coin t
you announced jour opinion In the case
ot Hut lis vs. Smith, et ul discharging
the rule to show cnuo why the appeal
should not bu stilcken off, and at tho le
quost of Mr. Knson and Mr. Uinni, Iu my
absence, you took the opinion luielt. Upon
fuillier Innuliy this statement was con
llnned by other gentlemen who were then
pirsent In com t. Now, If you oneo hud
the case, and onre decided it, It does not
seem to me to ho either just or fair for
j oil to turn the case over to another
Judge. Ittspectrullv youis,
r smith.
Mil. SMITH UIKHAHUKD.
In view of these lettois and his pie
cedlng com 80 of conduct In the ense,
a rule was on toted upon Mr. Smith
Maich 2.1, 1S0G, to show cau"e why he
should not be dlsbaiied. At the argu
ment of the case Ml. Smith was ropio
sented by Attorney James Mahon, and
he also plead In his own behnlf, lolter
ntlng with etiiphnsls the charges ho
had all alung piefened The common
wealth was lepiesented by Attoineys
James 11. Tone, S. U. I'llce and V.. C.
New comb. The finding of the coutt
was that Mr. Smith had been guilty
of unpiofesslomil conduct nnd dls
coui tesy to the com t and he was on
Juno 1, ISM, declined dlsbaiied.
With Attorney A. 11. McCullom, of
Monti ose, he appealed the case to the
biipreine court last fall nt Us session in
1'lttsbuig. Attoineys Ptlce and Xew
comb aigued against the appeal. Yes

colli t wns announced In Philadelphia.
It was "deciee alllimed and appeal dis

BOX OFFICE ROBBED.
The Academy ot Music Kntoied It) n
Thiol Some Time Sundiiv Night.
Some time Sunduy night the Acnd
emy of Music was enteted by a sneak
thief and about $1 In cash and a num
ber of tickets taken fiom the box of
lice. The btcallng was undoubtedly done
by some one Well acquainted with
the pieinlses. Kiitiance was gained
tin oligh a enal-hole In the lour of the
building. Fiom the cellar the thief
found his way to the stage and then
tlitough the house nnd down the foyer
to the box olllce, which was enteied by
In caking the glass panel of the dooi.
The cash diawer was emptied of the
$4 change It contains, and some tickets
weie taken ft 0111 the lack, but how
many cannot be told until the week
Is over. Fifteen tickets for last night's
pctfotmnnce aie known to have been
taken. The safe was not tampeied
with, but the desks wcie thoioughly
ovei hauled. The floor was stiewn W ith
papots and evetythlng about the loom
indicated that the thief had woiked in
a buttled and excited manner.
The supposition of Manager H.uvoy
Long is that some hanger-on about the
Academy Is the guilty purty. He does
not expect to be able to appiehend him.
