LEGALITY OF THE
BOARDJ0F CONTROL
Question Is Now In (tic Hands of (tic
Court.
MULBERRY STREET ASSESSA1ENT.
Wns Argucil Ycstortlnv ni Wns Also
Many Other Important Cines
Among Thrill the .llooslc HoroiiKli
.lliit(irNeu' 1'rint in tlio Assault
mill Hutlcry Caso Aguinst Simon
ltlco mul the Jury Agnlti Criticised.
Other .Hnttcrs Disposed ol.
Yesterday's secslon of nrgument
court wns the most tinpoitaut ot the
week and seldom, If ever before, was
theie so many highly impoitant mat
ters argued on one day. Besides the
Van Horn case, n repot t of which ap
pears under sepnrnte bending, a hear
ing wns had on the school bonrd case,
the Mulboir street paving assessment
matter, the Mooslc borough matter
and a number of otheis of not much
less piomiiience.
The pioceedlugs brought by John
Jermyn to declare the board of control
as now constituted Illegal, came up on
a tlemurier filed by the boatil through
the school dlstt let's solicitor. It. A.
Knapp, assisted by I!. C. Now comb
and e-Clty Solicitor Jaine.s H. Touey.
Messis Xewcomb and Touey made
the ntgunientp for the defense. They
contended that the matter of giantlng
or icf using the wilt and giving Judg
ment for or against the school boatd
rests in the sound disci etlon of the
court, that the commonwealth Is con
cerned In consoiUng the public good,
rather than In ptmluciiiB a state of
hopeless confusion, as would lesult
fiom the action contemplated by the
bill of the lelator. '
In pi oof the legality of the ptesent
board they held that the boaid as nt
pi cent constituted has been acquiesced
In by the community and the judicial,
liglslatlvc and executive blanches of
the state government for over twenty
years and that It Is consequently a de
facto board.
DISTRICT NOT ATTACKED.
The existence of the Scianton School
cllstilct is not attacked by the pio
ceecllng.s at bar; on the contiaiy, the
legitimate existence of the school dls
tiict of the city of Scianton Is ad
mitted by the lelatoi. This being tho
cas-e and the dlstilct having a do facto
boaid of dhectois, It would not be an
act of sound and w se discretion to
oveithiow that government, tho cruiit
not having power to substitute that
government with another.
A point which tho denunreis dwelt
upon paittculaily was the fact that the
Information upon which the proceed
ings aie founded doesn't suggest that
theie aie any peisons who aie entitled
to hold the offices In question As a
lesult of judgment against the school
board the school dlstilct would not
only be left without a governing body,
but It would thiow open eveij contiact
and obligation that Is outstanding
against the dlstilct and thiow eveiy
thlng Into a state of lncxtikable con
fusion. The confusion that would bo
caused In the coming municipal elec
tion was also pointed out and a sug
gestion wns made that court leftain
from passing upon the matter until
the election was over. Couit indicated
that the suggestion would not be
adopted
Mr. Hums, In arguing for tho wilt,
elaboiated on the contents of his bill,
pointing out that the law calls for a
boaid of six and that the act under
which the twenty-one membei.s pie
sumo to administer the nffalis of the
district Is unconstitutional.
Tho Mulbciij stieet paving assess
ment llgnt came up in the foim of a
case staled, the city being plaintiff and
Hon'- F. Kr.ehler defendant. City Pn
llcitoi McGlnley argued that the law
governing assessments for tich Im
piovcments picscilbed that the levy
should be made accoidlng to the foot
fiont iuIo.
MR. llimXS' CONTENTION.
Mr. Bums for the objecting property
holders, pointed out the evident un
fairness of assessing a man who has
a stieet car track In front of his piop
eity as much as a man with a lot of
the same fi outage who may be blocks
away nnd who has no stieet car tiacKs
In front of his propeity. In the case
In question Mi. Koehlcr pas as much
for the elghtj-slx square yaids of as
phalt In liont of his house ns a man
fuith?r down the stieet pais for ISO
squat e yards
The man who h'as to put up with the
Inconvenience and annoyance of stieet
ctr tracks, he held, should have the
benefit of the deduction which 1 inad-
through tho company paying for the
paving between its tracks.
Messrs. C. Comegs and M. J. Dma
hoe argued in support of the excep
tions to the Incorpoiatlon of the pro
posed borough of Mooslc. Only tho
technical exceptions vveie heard, the
court leservlng for further consld na
tion the meilts of tho case. On the
pan of tho exceptants It was contend
ed that the notice of the application
was defective for the reason that it did
not specify the lime and place of heai
intr, that tho boundary lines of tho
proposed borough weie not sufllclently
described; nnd that the ciuit having
failed to act on the matter dining the
toim following tho application had
lost Its jurisdiction. Judge "vVntd in
filled In support of the pioposec bor
ough and cited copiously fiom Judicial
decisions In his cffoits to bieuk the
foi co of tho exceptions.
Among the boundaiy lines of the pro
posed new borough are poitlons of Mill
Creek aim Spring Biook, which the ex
ceptants contended were too small to
constitute u stable and ceitaln boun
daiy. "Even the Lackuwanna tlver could
not be consldeied stablo boundary,"
FJld Mr Donohoe. "Only navigable
sti earns are acceptable, as has been
frequently decided "
"But you foig t," Intel posed Judge
Artiibald, smilingly, "that theie Is n
sieclal statute declailng tho Lacka
wanna a navigable liver," Others
Joined In the smile when the piepostei
ous statute was lecalled.
While Mr. Comegjs was nrgulng
Judgo Rdvvatds said, with a sigh: "I'm
sorry the leglslatuio made uh u giand
Jut y "
Said Mr. Comegys: "I think It Is a
good thing that this matter of creat
ing boroughs was taken fiom the giand
Jury It will, at least, prevent anoth
er Olenbum ITiough, vvheie there ai"
not enough people to fill the borourh
olllces "
NKW TRIAL ORANTED.
A now tilal was grunted without arg
ument In the case of the commonwealth
against Simon Rlee. It la an assault
and batt'ry case, and the evidence
vvai ranted an acquittal, according to
the Judgment of evervbodv who herrd
I the case, with the exception of tlio
Jurymen, Judge Archbnlil suspended
fctutencc and forthwith entered a rule
for n new trial. When the matter wns
toadied yesterday Judge Archbald Uv
,lng to IiIr associates, cnldi "If there Is
no objection, I will mnke the rule In
th' case absolute. I tried tlio case, nnd
1 am sutlslled that the Jury, In arriv
ing at a verdict, consulted their pieju
dices, rather than their Judgment."
The other Judges nodded ncqulcscenco
and Judge Archbald announced "new
ttlal hi tinted."
The rule to strike oif forfeiture was
made absolute lu tho case of the com
monwealth ngnlnxt 11. Berkovitz, nnd
the costs were tptultt'd In the cases In
which James o'Malley and Small nnd
J'mnm Dieyer were defendants.
In the case ot F L. Brown against
I' J Morris, exceptions to affidavit ot
defense, th rule wns discharged.

DID STENOGRAPHER
MAKE A MISTAKE ?
Or Did Judge Archbnld Make a Mis
statement ol Law?
VAN HORN'S HOPE RESTS ON THIS
Judgo Archbnld Snys "livery Unlaw
lilt Killing is Presumed to Be Mur-elcr"--Thc
Olliciul Itrniirt ol His
Charge! to the Jury Hut Ho Said
IWcry Unlawful Killing Is Pre
sumed to Bo .Murder in the I'irst
Degree."
Oeorge Van Horn's hope for a new
tilnl rests principally on n contest of
Infallibility between Judge Archbald'a
memory, supported by ceitaln circum
stances and St nogiapher Willis Cos
ton's report of the court's charge.
The ofllcial stenographic report
makes Judge Archbald say In his
charge to the Juiy: "Every unlawful
killing Is presumed to be murder of
the first elegref," which Is not the law.
Judge Archbnld does not remember
Just exactly what he did say, but ho
Is positive he did not say what the
stenographer nttt Unites to him. He
holds that he might have snld "livery
unlawful killing Is presumed to be
murder." ns his own notet of the
chnrgo read or possibly ho might have
said: "Kvery unlawful killing Is pre
sumed to be muider, though not of tho
Hist dest'eV
When Mr Thajer, of counsel for Van
Horn, mentioned this as on" of the
rensons for a new trial. Judge Aich
bald eiy quickly remaiked: "Mr.
Thayer, you know I did not say such a
thing."
"Well, I do not know for myself,
whether you did or not. Your Honor.
I do not remember of that particular
part of the charge All we hav- to
go by Is the olllclal report of the charge
furnished us by the couit .stenograph
er, and that says that you said, 'livery
unlawful killing Is presumed to be
muider of the llrst degre?."
ARIi NOT INFALLIBLE.
"But the stenographer's notes often
make us say things which we never
utter," rejoined Judge Archbald, and
In this the two othei judg s nodded
assent, "I had to help the stenoginph
er to complete his teport In sevcial
places where he was unable to lead
his notej. Som times wo talk too fast
for them to keep up with us, and they
get mixed In their notes. I slowed up
sevetal times In that chaige when It
occuned to me that I was talking too
fast for the stenogiaph r to take accu
rate notes "
Mr. Thnjer contended that there
was a doubt about It, and that the de
fendant was entitled to that doubt
"He Is entitled to a reasonable
doubt." Judge Archbald replied. "The
question here is whether- I made such
a mistake as that, and if I did make
such a misstatement of law Is It likely
that It would go unchallenged by the
counsel for the defense, or that th
district attorney would allow me to
go ahead without correcting such a
palpable eiror, or on the other ship,
did th- stenographer mnke a mistake?"
At the outset of the herring Mr.
Thayer asked that tlio rule ) ninrtcj
absolute without argument on the
strength of the depositions of Sailio
Halt ns, tho l.- ear-old gill v. hose stoiy
was heard before Judges Aieirlnld and
lidwards Wednesday. It vas sufficient,
Mr Thayer "ontended. to I'll.-i" a rea
sonable doubt In the mmd of any juror,
and of that he thought the rouit v oulel
be convinced irom a ccuiiileleiatlon of
lire depositions.
THP. AI.LKOHI) ERRORS.
Court indicated that the counsel had
better aiguo Its whole case. Mr.
Thayer then proceeded to set forth
the alleged en or of the ttlal judge
me ntloned above, and tho fm titer al
leged eiror of telling the Jury In the
oblige that theie weie no contradic
tions or Incmslsteni les In the com
monwealth's testimony regat ding tho
scene Immediately following the kill
ing, and also In tricing fiom the July's
consideration the question of Insanity.
It wns alMi hMd that court erred in
overruling the objection to the district
attorney asking Van Horn if he was
