Tlio Scranton Detective Gets Entangled in the Pliocnh Contract Case nt Wllkcs-Unrrc. Wllkes-Barre, Feb. 10 The case ngalnst A L. Spencer and Thomas Ali bi ey, of Scianton, who weie on tilul on choice of hnvlnir consulted to de fiaud Geoige W. Koons, continues to excite Intel est. The testimony for the piosecutlon closed yesteiday and Mi. Palmer opened for the defense today In the presentation of the case Mr. Pal mer held thut the conspiracy was all on pnit of Mllnlr, the man who ttiined state's evidence, and that Messrs. Spencer and Aubrey were dtawn Into the scheme by him. Thomas Aubrey, one of the defend ants, was the llrst witness called. He said ho wns a bookkeeper and nn ex pel t accountant. He 111 st met Mllalr In Novembei, ISO'i, at which time the foi matlou of the Phoenix Contract company was talked of. Aubioy said Mlluli pioposctl to him to become sec letaty and tieasu'rer of the new com pany and spoke of the money he would put Into the business. Mi. Aubrey In answer to questions of Mr. Palmer went ovei the foimatlon and the opci atlons of the Phoenix Contract com pany at length. Ho said tho concern hud been oigunlzed, us fat as he was concerned, for pei fectlj legitimate pui poses He descilbed the negotiations w lth Mr Koons lor materials and de nied that theie was any conspiracy or intention of fraud. On cross examina tion bj Mi. Fell Aubrey was conf tout ed with his coitespondence to Mllalr and asked to explain ceitaln para graphs. He was evasive, however, and many of his answers weie quite lame Altogether he did not make a good im pression on cioss examination. At one point Aubtey was shown a paragraph In one of his letteis to Mllalr in which lie said Koons was threatening to make trouble and that he had consulted a law j or, who told him to "allow Koons to stew in his own juice." He was also asked who the lawyei was who told him that and lefused to answer. After a wrangle between the attoinojs, Judge Dennett told Aubiey to answer, and he said It was Mi. Shuitleff. Aubrey was bi ought down to the $3,000 placed In bank by Mr. Spencer to the ciedlt of the Phoenix: Contract company and admitted that It was for the puipose of getting a rat ing. He coulel nut explain why the fact of the $3,000 debt to Spqncer was not put In the statement to the mercan tile agencies. He was asked to explain why $G,100 was paid Spvmcer when the debt was only $3,700 and said the excess was to pay some of Mllali's old notes. Aubiey was asked to explain how they expected to pay Koons at the time the contract for $1J,000 of muteiiuls was made with only $15 In bank, nnd said they" expected to sell the mateilal and get the pioceeds Witness said he hud known Spencer two yeurs, duilng pan of thut time was his bookkeeper and general managei. Spencer was a man ufacturer of nails and spikes. Among tho Sciantonlans who hnd been summoned to testify to Mi. Spen cers honesty wete Attorney John B.

After listening to some character tes timony Koons, the piosecutor, wns culled to the stand for fuither cioss iLxamlnatlon. He was asked by Mr. Palmer: "Did you say to Mllalr In the piesence of W. F. Cllffoul, 'It ou throw up Spencer and sign this paper I will give jou $1,000?" " "Absolutely no," lesponded the Wit ness. W. F. Clifford, a Scianton detective, was then called to tho stand and testi fied that he heaid the offer mentioned made by Kponb to Mllalr. He heaul Koons make the ofter thiee times, once at tho Hotel Jetmjn, once at the Dela waie and Hudson depot, and once on Wjomlng avenue near the Dime bank. Mllalr was under nu est at that time on complaint of Mr. Koons. "I was to airest Mllnlr," said Cllffoid, "on condi tion that he did not give up Mr. Spen cer. Later Mr. Koons offeied $t,000 to Mllalr." The witness said he was employed by John T, Lennhan, who Is private counsel for the piosecutor On cioss-eam)natloii he was asked If his instiuctlons weie not to unest Ml lnlr If he attempted to leave Scianton. He said probably that was collect. He denied that ho hud been ill Inking and that Mr. Lenahan had told him he was chunk. "Wasn't It join duty to'make a full lepott of what jou did on that day?" "Yes, sii." "Did you lepott about that money . ofierV" "I did not." "Was It not your business to do so'" , "I don't Know." ' Clirford tiied to evade many questions and upon the whole cieuted a bad Im- piesslon by his manner of giving evi- i elence. rPli, Inlrlm. nf thai l,-rinnr Itt Mia tttol ' was concluded today by a sensation which wus spiuiig by the attorneys foi the defense who contended that the al leged conspiracy was hutched In New Yoik and that the Luzeino county couit had no juilsdletlon.
