LOOMS AT COUNTY JAIL.
Prisoners Will Bo Put to Work Mak
ing Carpet and Bough Cloth Ho
port of Special Committee.
After the consideration of the report
of. the special committee appointed to
investigate the eystems for employing'
prisoners in county lalls in various
counties of the state, the local prison
board lias di-clded to proceed at once
to Install a weaving establishment nt
the Lackawanna county 'Jail. Two
looms for the manufacture rf rag oar
pet and for weaving rough cloth
will be set up at first as an experiment.
County Commissioners S. W. nnd Giles
Roberts were directed to Investigate
and report upon the best teems for the
purpose. The board wilt meet again
December If.
The report of tho special committee
was as follows:
To the chairman and members of tho
prison board:
The committee appointed by tho
chairman to visit neighboring counties
and study the methods of .ini.loylns
mule prlsoneis, respectfully submit tho
following report:
We Mist visited tho prison at Potls
vllte, Schuylkill county, nnd there we
found that they employed their prison
ers Inside of the Jail only, making rag
and Ingrain carpet, socks and clothing
for tho Inmates of the prison. We
found all the work done by hand-power
machinery, of which th cos' i "-nil.
tho three knitting machines cost about
$u0 apiece, and the weavi g inaciiiir -i
cost about $60 each. They employ ten
per cent, of the number In the prison.
A day's work for each prisoner mak
ing socks Is two dozen, for which they
receive a pront of seven cents per dozen
after paying for all material used.
For the rag carpet they receive forty
five, fifty and fifty-five cents per yard,
which leaves them a net profit of five
cents per yard. They employ a weaver
at an oxoerse of J50 per month, who
Is called superintendent of the Indus
trial department. Finding nothing
further of Interest, we went to Read
ing. Uerks county, where we found
about the fi.vno method used for -in-ploylng
prisoners as at Pottsvllle.
Then we went to Allentown, Lehigh
county, finding nothing new, only tho
management.
In the year 389S they had an aver
age of seventy-four prisoners. The pro
ducts of the Industrial department was
2,728 yards of rag carpet and 1.000 dozen
socks, which was sold to the home
market at a profit above all expenses,
Including superintending of the work
nnd material, repairs to machinery, etc.,
of $612.16. Having concluded our visit
here, we went to Sunbury, Northum
berland county. Here we found about
the same work done as In the other
county prisons.
We found nothing of Interest In these
counties In regard to road work, and
no one seemed to know of nny counties
that are working their prisoners on tlu;
roads. Signed by

MAYFIELD BURGLARS
MAY GET OFF EASY
EVEN IF CONVICTED, PUNISH
MENT IS LIKELY TO DE LIGHT.
Commonwealth Will Havo to Con
vince tho Court That tha Bunk
Boom on the Second Floor of tho
Power Station Gave It the Char
acter of n Domicile, Before tho De
fendants Can Bo Convicted of Com
mon Xaw Burglary Jurors Who
Were Selected to Try Case.
It was not until 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon that tho twelfth Juror was
accepted to try the Mayfleld robbery
case. O'Brien & Kelly, attorneys for
tho defense, elected to choose on oyer
and terminer Jury and exhausted nine
teen of the twenty challcngesyallowud
before tho last mnn took his seat in the
box.
The unusually extreme care exerclsod
by the defense In tho selection of the
Jury gave strong grounds for belief
h'r ; ,, " ," '"", !
... ,., ...... v.ww n .... ...... ,
the defense will develop something in
tho nature of a surprise
This -act tends to add extra Interest
In the proceedings, especially among
the attorneys, who waited about In
large numbers to hear tne cross-exam
inations and get a Tine on the defense. I
Only one witness was examined be- i
lore adjournment. This was Patrick
Dempsey, the fireman at the power
house, who was first attacked by th
robbers. From the questions which
were put to him by Mr. O'Brien tho
Impression was gained that a main
effort of the defense will be to reduce
the grade of the crime.
CRIME CHARGED.
The Indictment charges In the first
count commnn law burglary, for which
a penalty of ten years and $1,000 fine
may be Imposed. To convict of this
crime it will be necessary to show
that the burglarized premises were a
domicile, or, as tho books have it, a
mansion house, and that the entrance
was forcibly made at night. Statu
tory burglary, the next count In the
Indictment, has a maximum penalty of
only four years nnd $300 fine. An en
trance effected to any sort of building
with Intent to commit larceny, Is sub
stantially, what Is covered by statu
tory burglary. Larceny, tho next low
er grade, Is Just stealing.
It could be fairly gathered from Mr.
O'Brien's questions that If his cllcnt3
should suffer conviction It Is his pur
pose to reduce the crime to larceny, If
possible, and at least to statutory bur
glary. Tlo fact that there Is a 1)unk room
In the upper floor of the power station
would tend to give the building tho
semblance, at least, of a domicile. These
bunks are used nightly by the crews ; to get away. Leach and Miller ran
that take out the early morning cars ; around tho engine and called to them
and on the night of the crime there to halt. The burglars for an answer
were ten or twelve men sleeping there, formed In a semi-circle and at a given
Mr. O'Brien was zealous In bringing command from the leader fired a vol
out the fact that these bunks were not . iPV of nlstoi wa nt iri, Wh i.n.i
used by nny of the crews regularly:
that Is, that all thoFe who occasionally
used them had lodging houses other
than that the barn.
DOOR WAS NOT LOCKED. -
A strong effort was also made to
gain an admission from Dempsey that
the flreroom door, by which the bur
glars must have made their entrance,
was usually left open nnd was open
on this particular night. Dempsey,
however, would only say that the door
was not locked and that he didn't know
whether or not It was swung open, but
believed he had pulled It to before re
turning to the engine room, where he
was seated, reading, when the bur
glars entered.
When the case was called yesterday
morning tho four prisoners were
escorted from the dock to the
defendants' table by Warden Smlp
son to an accompaniment of a
buzzing conversation and general cran
ing of necks from the crowd, which
fairly packed the big main court room.
James Gaughan, alias Kelly, tho
youngest of the quartette, a boy not
over eighteen years of age, took the
seat nearest tho Jury box and ex
changed a few words with his brother,
a line appearing, middle-aged man of
portly build, dressy attire and carry
ing a gold headed cane, who was at
tho defendants' table early conversing
with the attorneys. Young Gaughan
Is the one who was shot through the
upper part of the right breast and
who It was at first thought, could not
live, lie Is. however, none the worse
physically for his dangerous ordeal.
When taken Into custody ho insisted
that his home was In Ashley. It de
velops, however, that he, Zollner anJ
Dalton are all from Shenandoah and
of the towns adjacent thereto.
APPEARANCE OF MEN.
Zollner, who sat next to Gaughan. Is
apparently next In seniority. He Is
quite boyish In appearance and thoush
somewhat dissipated looking does not
show In his fTce any marked criminal
Instincts. The same, however, cannot
be said of the other two, Patrick Dil
ton. alius Joseph Leonard, and John
Cummlngs, alias "Western Red. '
Nethers' photogrnph would be marked
by contrast If encountered In a rogue's
gallery. They are about of an age,
apparently 28 or 30, nnd their faces
evidence cunning and daring nt being
nmong their chief characteristics.
Zollner comes from a good Schuylkill
county fimlly. It is said, but Cum
mlngs' home Is not krown, further
than that ho says himself It Is in
Logansport, Indiana. Cummlngs earns
his sobriquet from his glnger-cored
hair and the fact that In his chosen
profession ho Is known to tho com
panions of his calllrg as having conr?
from the west. He Is the one whoso
right arm was so badly Rhattsred by
"Bill" Leach's ritlo that it had to bo
amputated near the elbow.
At the prosecutor's table, with Dis
trict Attorney John 11. Jones, were E.
J. Neary, the Carbondale const-blo
who Is named as prosecutor, und Gen
eral Manager Flymi, of the C'nrbonditle
Traction company.

fugitive robbers as best ho could with
a small revolver, and forty other wit

which they were selected, are:

A mild sensation was caused when
District Attorney Jones was examining
into the qualifications of M. J. Cannon,
nne of bo patented lurora. It nnneurs
Cannon was f,cnt to the county Jail In
default of ball on some trivial charge
and while l-icarccratcd was drawn ni
n Juror for tills term T!t defcndnnti
heard of one of their fellow-prisoners
being likely to bo cnlled upon to try
them and talked with him about tho
case at every opportunity. Cannon ad
mitted all this, but denied that tho
case was discussed to any great length.
They merely remarked, he said, that
ho wns to be n Juror and lie answered
that this was true.
District Attorney Jones opened tho
case for the i rosecutlon In a forty min
utes nddrora. in which ho connectedly
aid concisely tide1 the story of the
cr
tr
crime as the- commonwealth expected
prove It. Briefly outlined, It was us
follows:
STORY OF THE CRIME.
At 1.15 o'clock on the morning of
March 27, 180S, six men, wearing masks
and dlsn'aylng revolvers, entered the
boiler room of the Mayfleld power
house of the Carbondolo Tuirtlon com
pany nnd snea'i n,r through to the en
gine room, held up r.nd ovet powered
Fireman Patn:lt Pcmprey and En
gineer Frank Cogglna. put Night Clerk
W. R. Brok-ns'.ilre 'o 'light with a vol
ley of pistol shots, when he appeared
at tho office door with a revolver, kept
a dozen motormen nnd conductors at
bay In tho second story with more pis
tol shots, broke the ensh box, contain
ing $C0, loose from Its fastenings on the
wall and made away with It, heading
towards Carbondale.
Telephone messagrs to Carbondale
started a squad of olllccrs on their trail
nnd about 7.30 o'clock they were located
on the Jefferson branch of the Erie
road, making towards Susquehanna.
A message to Ararat Summit had
brought out "Bill" Leach, tho hotel
lieeper; Jesse Vail, the miller, and four
or five other men. Leach had a 3S
callbre Winchester rille, and Miller a
revolver.
TRIED TO GET AAV AY.
When the train slacked up the gang
scrambled out of the box car on tho
side opposite to tho station and started
ndvanced to within a snort distance of
'" ,-..". ..' ,., ..J.u HUM
where they stood.
He returned the fire and at the first
shot killed one of thei gang, who was
later identified as William Brady, a
noted New York crook. A second shot
laid Conghan low and a third shat
tered Cummlng's arm.
The other three had by this time dis
appeared in the woods. Two of them
were overtaken and captured by Con
stable Neary and John Woodmansoc,
but tho other Is still at large.
Cummlngs and Gnughan said they did
not know tho others, and Zollner and
Dalton persisted in claiming that they
were traveling singly nnd only fell In
with tho others when the train started
out from Carbondale.
A revolver, dynamite cartridges,
package of dynamite, bottle of nltra
glycerine, five feet of fuse and three
small chisels were picked up in the
snow along the trail which Dalton and
Zollner took. through tho woods.
Six Pleas of Guilty.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing six of the defendants whose cifos
were set down on the tlrst day's list
asked to bo permitted to plead guilty.
Five of them were granted the per
mission. Owen Moran, who has been before
court on some previous occasions fo
petty offenses, plead guilty of the
charges of burglary and obstruct'ug
the execution of a legal proress. On
Sept. :." he entered the apartments of
Joseph Newschek, who lived upstairs hi
the house of Moran's mother on
Hampton street, and abstracted $3
I from the trousers of the tenant. When
Constable John Lance attempted to ar
rest him a few days later ho assaulted
the officer, took his revolver away from
him and gave him a severe trouncing.
Judge Edwards was moved by Moran's
promise to reform and let him oft with
six months In tho county Jail.
John Burke was drunk on Oct. S and
tried to get away with an overcoat
and suit of clothes that were displayed
on a lummy In front of Collins' cloth
ing store on Lackawanna avenue. He
was given thirty days In the county
Jail.
George A. Richards, charged by Mis.
A. Mahon with defrauding i hoard
bill, admitted his guilt and tried to ex
cuse It on the ground of poverty. As
he had tit-en In Jail six weeks tho Judge
thought he had been sufflclent'y pun
ished and allowed him to go free
Alex McDonnell, upon admitting that
he stolo three lubricators and a brass
valve from James Flynn. of Provi
dence, by whom ho was employed us
a driver, was sent up for slxtv d.is.
He said ho was drunk when he com
mitted the deed.
Michael White, of Robli.ioT street,
admitted the truth nf the charge that
he stolo nlno chickens from John Plt
vlsch, on Nov. 19 last. In considera
tion of tho fact that he hal been In
Jail for three weeks and tint ho was
evidently very penitent, he was loft oft
with ten days.
F. W. Miller, of Lafayntto htreet,
who was arrested on two different oc
casions for receiving stolon goods, plead
guilty, but accompanied tho plea with
the claim that he did not know 'ho
goods were stolen. Ho says he bought
the stolen goods carpenter tools from
Sam Morrison nnd a man named Mor
gans, paying the former $2.h0 for on
set and tho latter $3 for a'loihrtr ret.
Court refused to accept his plea of
guilty and directed that ho man 1 trial,
to give him an opportunity of proving
that ho did not know the goods we.o
stolen.
In tho afternoon when M))ler wns
called for trial before Judge Diddle In
court room No. 2 ho again plead guilty,
this time without any qualifications.
Judgo Diddle sentenced him to pay it
fine of C cents and spend ninety days
in the council Jail on each charge. Hit
terms to run concurrent and credit to
be allowed for time already served.
NEW TRIAL IK THE
SHURTLEFF CASE
JUDGE SAYS VEBDICT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC.
In tho Suit for Fee3 for Profes
sional Services in tho Celebrated
Bussell Ejectment Suit, Judgo
Purdy Sets Aside tho Verdict nnd
Awards a New Trial Will of Jos
eph Chase Admitted to Probate.
Another Case Growing Out of the
Olyphant Sewer.
Judgo George S. Purdy, of Honesdale,
yesterday transmitted an opinion con
taining a decree awarding a new trial
In the case of E. II. Shurtlcff against
Thomas Davis, which wns tried before
him the weelc before In nimraim pleas.
It Is n suit brought by Mr. ShurtlclV
to recover $2,000 for professional ser
vices performed for the defendant In
the Russell ejectment suit, covering n
period of six years. The defendant al
leges that tho fee wns exorbitant and
besides a contingent one nnd that, al
though ho won the case, tie has not
yet realized on the Judgment. Tho Jury
accepted this view of the case und
awarded the defendant a verdict.
In granting a new trial Judge Turdy
says:
"It Is true that tho defendant ad
mitted that the plaintiff's claim of
$2,000 for services was asserted to by
him, and. In the charge to the Jury tho
full question as to the fee being estab
lished was eliminated from the case,
as to any defense being shown as far
as wo could do so. And had the Jury
returned a special verdict, stating the
ground of their finding, there would
would ppem to be no cause for
a retrial. This we should have in
structed the Juiy to do But tho ver
dict being a general one, for the defen
dant, we are not certain that a Judg
ment on it would not ho conclusive
against the plaintiff In a subsequent
action.
Will of Joseph Chase.
The will of Joseph Chase, late of
Benton township, .was yesterday ad
mitted to probate and letters testa
mentary granted to his son, Aaron Au
gustus Chase, of this city.
The document was signed April in,
1S97, and witnessed by Laurtou V.
Sweet and Dewllton Sweet. The -ie-cedent
directs that his daughter, Clara
E. Brlggs, shall have a home at the
homestead, the use of her present
apartments there and the prlvelege of
maintaining on the premises her horse
and carriage during the remainder of
her natural life. She is also to re
ceive out of the estate $50 annually
for twenty years or during her natural
life.
The remainder of tho estate Is left In
trust with the decedent's daughter-in-law,
Elizabeth C. Chase, for his son,
Aaron Augustus Chase, and heirs. Tho
estate is not to be liable, however, for
any debts the devisee may contract.
Tho successorshlp in trust is to be
fixed by the orphans' court.
That Olyphant Sewer Again.
Attorney James J. O'Mnllcy, for
Caleb Jones, brought o suit in tres
pass yesterday against the borough ot
Olyphant and Contractors Flanaghan
& O'Hara. to recover $1,500
for damage done his properly, through
which the First district sewer was ex
tended. He says that by reason of the negli
gent manner In which the sewer was
built his trees and shrubbery were de
stroyed, fences broken down, cellar
walls cracked, house thrown out of
plumb nnd cellar flooded with water.
He further avers that It was not neces
sary nt all to construct tho sewer
through his lot, another route being
readily available.
