no place in our

SCRANTON'S SHOPPING CENTER.
The trial of Powell retiuit, of this
city, for perjury, before Judge It. W.
Archbald, In cilminal court yesterday,
developed one of tlioy exasperating
holes In the law by which men fre
quently escape the penalty that would
follow their misdoings.
In March, lftS, IVmtEt conducted a
boarding house on Lloyd street In this
city, and one oC his boanlers w.ts
Alexander Smith. Tho latter was ar
rested for some tiivinl offense and
Potrust became his bondsman. Before
the case was called tor trial Smith
started for New Mexico and Potrust
had a ball piece ii-sueil for him, but
was unable to get It served before
Smith started for the southwest.
Smith could not be brought back
from another state on n ball piece and
1'etrus.t decided to resoit to a. little
scheme ho had thought out.
He went to I'hlrf-of-Police Holding
one dav and told him that Smith brolM
into his room, forced upon a trunk,
stole $300 from him and had fled to the
southwest. The authorities nt Kansas
City were connnunicati d with and
Smith was nrrested as soon as he
reached there en route for New Mex
ico. SMITH HROUOHT HACK.
Detective .lohn Molr was senn after
Smith and In ought him back to this
city. It then aipeaied that there was
no truth In the chat go that Petrust
lodged against him and the case was
dismissed.
The police department did notj tako
kindly on being sent on such a wild
goose chasp and Chief Holding had
Petrust Indicted for perjury. After
many delays the case was called yes
terday for trial. Utorney C. W. Daw
son, who appeared for Petrust, was not
In the court room when the case was
tulled for trial yesterday nfternoon.
and Judge Archbald directed that the
Jury be sworn nnd told District Attor
ney Jones to proceed to open tho caso
to the Jury.
While this was being done Attorney
Dawson appeared and entered a very
vigorous protest ngalnst tho selecth n
of ayjury In his absence. He was not
pleased with the twelve men In the
box and wanted the privilege of assist
ing In selecting another Jury.
Judge Archbald finally allowed an
other Jury to be called and tho trial
was proceeded with. The Common
wealth put witnesses on the stand to
show that Petrust had notified the
police of the alleged theft and that he
subsequently made an affidavit before
District Attorney Jones, setting forth
th. facts In the case. It was on thl.i
affidavit that the requisition was
granted.
DAWSON OBJECTED.
Sir. Dawson, when this affidavit was
offered In evidence, objected to Its ad
mission and after extended argument
on the part of Sir. Dawson nnd Mr.
Jones, court excluded it and directed
a verdict of not guilty.
It was ruled by the court that Pet
rust could not be held for perjury for
the reason that a perfon can be con
victed of swearing falsely to an aill
davlt only when such affidavit Is re
quired by an act of assembly. There
is no act of assembly which makes It
necessary to have an a'TUlavlt to se
cure lequlsltion papers. It Is merely
a rule of the secretary of the Com
monwealth's department at Harris
burg. As Petrust hail not offended
against a statute ho was allowed to
go his way.
The embezzlement case against At
torney George Heale met with nn un
usual obstacle yesterday. Mrs. Lu
clnda Cook, an Important witness for
the defense, was not present and an
attachment was Issued for her. Pend
ing her arrival the jury was stood
aside and other cases taken up. The
sheriff had not succeeded in bringing
Sirs. Cook In up to the time that court
adjourned.
Mux Suravltz did not appear to
answer n charge of fuaault nnd bat
tery preferred by James Nolan and his
bail was forfeited A nol prosequi was
entered In ihe case of Griffith Itlchnrdi
e barged with assault and battery by
his wife, Jane Rlchnrds.
NORTON AND DKPUY CASE.
The case against SI. J. Norton, tho
Penn avenue hotel keeper, and Mrs.
Annie Deruy of Fianklln avenue,
charged with unlawful relations, wai
called, but the prosecutor, Thomas
Norton, did not appear nnd the sheriff
was dliected to bring him In. Ho la
a son of SI. J. Norton, the defendant,
and runs ,i saloan at Olyphant. Nor
ton, the defendant. Is separated from
his wife and boaids with Sirs Depuy,
who Is srpaiated from her husband.
Just before court adjourned for the
day a 1ury was sworn in the case of
William V. Fuller, of Carbondale,
chniged with larceny and receiving. It
will be tried today.
This and That.
The work of erecting tho new Oxford
breaker was begun Wednesday. The
new breaker will be about 200 feet to
tho rear of the shaft, and the coal will
be conveyed to It over a trestling.
President Clark and General Slan
ager Silllman, of the Scranton Hallway
company, went over the new extension
to Lackawanna yesterday, and were
well pleased with the improvements
made on that line.
George A. Hayes, of Harrison ave
nue, yesterday signed a contract with
Harris Hros.. of Cleveland. Ohio, to tear
down twenty old locomotives belong
ing to the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western impany, which the latter
firm has purchased. The work will be
done In the yards and will be com
menced at once. When tho locomotives
are taken apart the material will bo
shipped to Cleveland.
