SECOND TRIAL OF
THE GETZ CASE
Some of lis Puzzling Features Laid Dc
fore Hie Jurors.
AGREEMENT REACHED LAST NldllT
On 1'ormcr Trlnl the Jury Dlxngrccil.
I'rlcdmiui Mill Itnvo to I'nr the
Costs In the Cnso AgnliiNt Ilccil.
Defense I'uls n Different 1'neo on
the .1Intlcr--.Stiibborn Jurors Who
Would Not Knt.
For the second time a. Jury Is now
wrestling with the puzzling Getz false
pretense case. Umma Qetz, the de
fendant, Is a comely German girl who
has been In this country about three
years, and from her appearance and
actions, Is the last person In the world
one would fuspect of the serious felony
she Is eharged with, which Is no less
than forging her father's name to a
$10 check and cashing It at D. D. Hv
an's store on South Main avenue.
The check was mode on the First
National bank and was signed and en
dorsed with the name of the girl's fa
ther, Hdward Getz. When It was pre
sented Mr. Kvans locognlzed the clrl,
he says, because her father trades at
'lie store and s-lie frequently came
there for goods. He took the check to
the West Side bank for collection and
was surpilsed In a few days to have It
ictuined to him with the Information
that it uns a forgery. He called Mr
Getz's attention to the matter, but the
latter avowed that his daughter could
not hae committed the crime, as she
was sick In bed on the evening when
Mr. Kvuns alleged she had It cashed at
his store. Mr Hvans thereupon
brought an action against the daugh
ter, charging false pretense.
1DI2NTIFIHD THE GIRt..
Mr. Hvans, his bookkeeper and one
of his clerks nosltlvely Identified the
defendant as the girl who presented
the check and ieceled $10 for It. The
entire Getz family and a ti allied nurse
who was attending the defendant's
brother on the eenlng In question,
swore just as positively that Miss Getz
was home and so sick that It was Im
possible for her to leae her bed
At the fall term of court the case
was tried, but the Jury disagreed. Hon.
John P Kelly and It J Hourke are for
the defense. Assistant District Attor
ney Thomas conducted the prosecution
The Jury agreed early In the night and
will hand In Its erdtct this morning.
Alter the defendant's story of the
Heed-Filedman udllcultv had been
told, the matter appeared In an alto
gether diffeient light, and in n light bo
favoiablo to the defendant that the
Jury not only found him not guilty,
but substituted Iouls Friedman as
prosecutor In place of Chief of Police
Ilobllng, and directed that he pay all
the costs.
Ieed and his father-in-law, A. Wink
ler, testified that they went Into Fried
man's store on Penn avenue to buy u
pair of pants. , Winkler selected a
pair that suited him and asked the
nrlce. Friedman said $2. Winkler de-
muited. whereupon Friedman came
down r.0 cents. Winkler stated that he
neer paid moic than 73 cents for
woiklng pants, and this brought Fried
man's price down to $1.
REMARK CAUSED TROUBLE.
The son-in-law Interrupted at this
juncture with the remaik. "Come on,
this man can't fix a pi Ice on his cloth
ing. I'll take you where ycu can hi
tieated light " At this Friedman came
from behind the counter and planted a
blow between Keed'rf eyes knocking
him i'ottii. Reed In a dazed condition
wim led out by his fathtr-ln-law.
Reaching the sidewalk Reed stopped
and taking out a percll nnd sciap-boolt
(tailed to take a note of the name anil
number on the vtoie sign.
Filedman rushed out in a great pas
sion and seizing Reed by the thtoat
started to maich him tow aids the police
station. At the comer of Penn avenue
and Spiuce street Reed broke away and
ran down Pcnn nenue. Filedman fol
lowed and In eiosslnjr the atieet car
Hacks, slumultd and fell, receiving the
Injury to the shoulder which he alleged
was causi-d by a blow from Reed
It was also shown that Filedman had
the father-in-law auested for assault
and lottery and when toth defendants
were In Jail visited them with a piopo
sltlon to settle.
The rlnlntlff also alleged ovcitures
for a settlement coming from the de
fendants. One of Mr. Re.vl'f. 1 iwyei s,
he said, came to him and olfeied $30 to
efftrt a settlement. ReodV attorneys,
Mr shi h Ho: le and Be tie stood up and
asktd Filedman which of them It was
tl.nt made the alleged overtutes. Fried
man couldn't rcmcmljcr which It was.
CASEvWAS SETTLED,
lllchtel Smith, c barged w Ith aRsnult
and 1 tttcry on Simon Schoen and Ja
cob Ilenty, of tUcilWo&t Hide, escaped
pioscrutlon thii'UR'W th'e goodness of the
prosecutors who settled the case upon
Hmlth igrei'in-j to pay the costs.
Martin Mull ill and Uow.ud White
were returned guiltv of highway job
bery as chaiged by George F. Smith.
White wes also found guilty of pointing
(lie arms.
John How ley, who stole fish from
Jeimyn & Duffvs stoie. pleaded guilty.
He wi's lenmnned for santence. Ball
was fctfclted In the cases of Edwaid
F. Keating and Thomas Kane, Jr, the
former charged w Ith assault and bat
tel y and the latter with pointing tiro
aims. (
Waller O'Connor, of Park Hill, was
called before Judge Edwards during the
afternoon, to answer two charges, as
sault ind battery and dlstuiblng public
worship. The piosecutor was J. T.
Whiting, who Is usher at the Hampton
Street Methodist Episcopal church, and
also a special oflieor. It appears that
on the eenlnir of Sept. 13 last, some
boys wciv rolling a wagon wheel up
and down tho sidewalk In front of the
church while bervices were In piogrpsa.
Mr. Whiting gao chase to the boys
and to.ok possession of the wheel.
'I he wheel belonged to tho atep-son
of Mr. O'Connor and when his Iwy came
home ctylng and complaining that a
men had taken his wheel away from
him ho staited out to look for the
man. O'Conmr and Whiting met Just
in front of the church as service waa
over. O'Connor demanded the wheel.
Whiting refused to ulvc It up unless
O'Connor would give him the names of
the boy who had been rolling tho
wheel In front of tho church. They hU
omo woids and finally grabbed hold
of each other, but separated wlthuut
exchanging any blows.
ONE CHARGE DEDUCTED.
Cm motion of Mr. Reedy, attorney for
the defense, Judgo Edwards took tho
rhargo ot disturbing a public meeting
nwny from the Jury as there waa no
evidence to rhow that O'Connor was
connected in any way with tho rolling
of the hoops. The cass went to tho
Jury at ,30 o'cjwk and at, Jj o'clock
lal nlcht they had not ngrocd, Bomo
three or four of the Jurymen were de
termined tt bring the others around
their wr.y of thinking and tultd Ihey
would not even consent to go to supper
unlll on agreement was utaehod. As
the night wore on the Jurors' stomachs
commenced to think there mouth had
Robe on Btrlke, thieats were nindo
against the stubborn ones that com
plaint would be made against them In
the morning and the like but It had no
effect on them.
Tipstaff Tlerney was appealed to at
10 o'clock Hnd he quoted low to those
who refused to go out to cat, showing
that It was the duty of the minority
to bow to tho will of tho majority In
fixing the time and place, ele., for eat
ing. They didn't care for tho law they
said. They were there to stay until tho
others agreed with tnem and the soon
er they agreed the sooner they would
net supper. Ar they are compelled by
law to remain together and there being
no law to compel a man to eat when
he doesn't want to, the only thing the
hungry Jurois could do was. to go to bed
and try to fall asleep. Rut this was
useless and just before midnight they
got together for another session. A
compromise of seme kind was effected
for they soon after sent Tipstaff Tler
ney down to Jordan' with orders to lay
covers for twelve.
The Geti! Jury agreed at supper time
and will hand In their verdict this
morning.

Progressive Dunmore business men
have teccntly performed a piece of en
terprise In their boiough on a par with
the commendable and masterful strokes
which, made but a few years ago, gave
to Scian.ton the now widely known
name "Electric City " There lias re
cently been erected In Dunmoro by
that borough's capital what Is said
to be the most modern electric 1'nht
!ng and power plant In these legions.
It lias been running now for two weeks
and furnishing boiough lights and
commercial light and power. On Mon
day night the plant was kept i mining
at a point way above its promised ca
pacity and with a highly successful
result
The company Is Incoipoiated ns the
Dunmore Electric Light, Heat and
Power company. Its olllccrs nip M. J.
Muriay, president: Hary Winters,
vice-president; P. D. Manley, trensuter;
and A. T. Irwin, secretary. There are
altogether twenty stockholders, each
one of whom Is a resident of Dumnoiu,
a fact which attests the botough's con
dence In Its own prospeilty nnd which
Invites In letutn a geneious local pa
tronage. The power house Is located near Mur-ray'-s
bleaker and north of East Drink

where there Is a pond supply of water
for all wet searons of the year. To the
heart of the borough a mile distant
theie leads an absolutely new poie line
which reaches eery point In the town
limits. " .
A DUPLICATE PLANT.
It does not require nn expert mind to
appreciate the splendid facilities of the
plant and Its modem machlneiy. It Is
a duplicate plant, consisting of two
engines and two sets of machlneiy. In
caso of an accident to either set the
other can be started within n minute.
thus avoiding more than a s-carcely
perceptible break In the company's ser
vice. If It Is desired the two sets of
engines nnd dynamos can be uin to
gether, but such a contingency Is not
apt to arise, as the capacity of cither
set of machinery Is above the demand
that can be made upon It for several
yen i s.
There are two 223-horsepower engines
of the powerful Russell 4-valve tvpe;
three 150-horsepowei boilers- two S0
llght dynamos for arc lighting mndo
by the Western Electric eompnny; two
45-k. Westlnghouse civ namos, each
a machine that cieates an altet
nntlng cunent for 2,000 incandes
cent lamps, and two "exciters"
for the dynamos last r.-jntloned. One
of ench cf the engines and machines
mentioned nnd one or more of the
thiee boilers will furnlsn the powei,
one set of equipment relieving the oth
er every few days. To the equipment Is
added a 500-horsepower Cochran feed
water heater, a duplex pump, a, sepa
rate Injector for ute in case the :mmt
Is disabled, and a modern sw Itch board
and cither appliances found In llist
clats electric plants.
Leadlrg Irom the power house to
cwry pait of the boiough Is a new
pole line 59s miles In length. The poles
bear 4s mile.-, of wlie. These wlics ni
now cai lying c ui rents for CO boiough
aic lights, 8"0 Incandescent lights nnd
a total of 40-hoise power for motors.
Should a bip.ik or any other Interfer
ence to the wires occur It Is automati
cally recrrded and Instantly on tho
switchboard at the power house. ThK
appliance makes it possible to tell with
in fo feet of where the trouble Is lo
cated. ALMOST NOISELESS.
A simple method of construction at
the power plant makes the machinery
uin almost without noise and with ab
solutely no vibration to the building.
This is accomplished In this way: Each
dynamo, engine and the ttandaid.s
which 3Uppoit the shafting tiom be
