Hecause of tho Intel tuption to the

Judge P. W. Uinister's death, the casi

d.iy, Friday and Satutday Of last week
have been attached to this weok'a list
nnd an effort Is being made by the
court to dispone of both lists In one
week. WednibUay's cases wete placed
at the end of csterilay'sllst: Thurs
day's casts will follow today's list; Frl
day'B cases will be at the foot of to
ntoi tow's list and the sutety cases for
both weeks will be heard next Satur
day. Judge Hdwards Is presiding In the
main eouit loom and Judge Untold Mc
Clure in court room No. 2. Judge i:d
winds intormed the Juiots yestetday
moinliig of the purpose of the court to
clear up both weeks' lists, If possible,
befote m.vt Satutday, and asked them
to lend tlulr co-opetntlon. District At
torney Jones and Assistant Dlsttlct
Attorney Thomas' buttled thu buslnesrj
along as t.ipldly as they consistently
could and tho other attorneys, taking
the cue from the commonwealth's rep
lesentatlvis, shortened their speeches
and made their examinations us brli f
as possible.
The plea of guilty by the burglars,
tepotted at length in another column,
was welcomed as u big relief to the
congestion. The non-appeatancu of
sevei.il piosectttors In ttivlal cases per
mitted of their b.'Ing summ.ullv dls
pouel of and this further encouraged
the court In Its big undei taking.

trolley wire In the gangway, was icn
deiecl unconscious and lost his watch
In the dark. The fact that Tavlor had
confessed to Foreman Smith that I.y

a man named Williams, living In Hyde
Paik. Ho knew Williams, but could
not tell whete he lived or worked. As
theie is mote than one man named
Williams living in Hide l'atk the nollee
I thought It best not to accept Smlth'n

wan ant for the arrest of the three
arrived soon after this and was kept
by Chief Ttobltng.
Mrs. Crow was yesterday taken to
the central police station by Mounted
Ot'lcer Joseph Bloch, and will be hoM
there until omo one arrives from
Shamokin to take her to the latter
place. The police depat tment has been
notllled nnd it is expected that the
woman will soon be called fcr.
SHE 'AS RESIGNED.
Mrs. Crow took the matter of her
arrest In a quiet and atolc-llke man
ner, manifesting no excitement at all.
She offered no lcslstanco and seemed
perfectly icsigned.
The watch belonging to Rev. Mr.
Rue, which was found in her posses
sion, contained the clergyman's Ini
tials. These wete scratched nnd
criss-crossed so that It was scarcely
possible to decipher them. In itself
this was very suspicious, but Mrs.
Crow would not admit it to be such.
She told the police that the Initials
weie those of her maiden name and
for a reason she did not make known,
she wished to destroy any and every
thing that might tend to disclose her
maiden name.
It now develops that tho police had
the Crow gang under surveillance be
foio the hurglailes were committed.
They wore here during the trial of th
Mayneld burglars, who are also from
down Shamokin way. and wen. seen
In the court room en several occasions
during the progress of the trial.
Ciow and Salmon have each served
three terms In the Schuylkill county
Jail for buiglarles, and Crow was n
leased only a year ago ftoin a five
oars' term In the penitentiary for a
similar offons.
County Detective Johnson, ot Lu
zerne county, was also here with a
wan ant for Mrs. Crow's an est. She U
accused of having had a hand In thu
