Ono Physician, Who Is Health Offi cer, Holds That They Violated the Law, While the Other, the At tending Physician, Stakes His Professional Reputation on tho Statoment That They Did Not. Buried Two Children on Saturday and Dragged Into Court Monday. Whut, to say the least, is an action that ought to he tegietted, Is the an est which uitalgnod Mr. and Mm. John Ilobeits, cif Dickson City, before Alder man Millar, last night, on the charge of violating the Dickson City board ot health ordinance icgulatlng funerals, I.'isl Saturday they bulled their two Infant chlldlen In the one giave. Yes terday, while the husband was nui.sing his gtlef -prostrated frail oung wife they aro neither over twentv-one a coiii'tublc hi oke in upon their sorrow -stricken home with a win runt sum moning them to appear at Aldeunan Millar's ofllce lit S o'clock p. m.

Dining the lioui's wait that ensued, owing to prosecutor Health Olllccr W. P. Ken nedy, M. D., being detained ut Colonel Wuties' banquet, Mis. Hobcits leclined her head on the tailing enclosing tho space set off for litigants, unci gave evidence of gieat mental and physical sniffling. Dr. Kennedy, united In his icglmen tal". at lived a little befoie !l o'clock nnd the hiailng was piocecded with. Dr. Kennedy explained that he bi ought the piosecutlon as health ollicer on lu f oi mat Ion that came fioni tollable paitles, that Ml. and Mis. Hobcits' children had iUvl of illphlheila; that t public f uncial had been peimltted and that the caskets weie opened at the giave. He pioduced a leport cat el sent In by Di. J. J. Uellhelmcr, the attend ing physician, notifying him that one of the chlldlen had diphtheria, that the house might bo placaided and the other usual piecautlons taken. NOT A I'l'IlUC KUNHRAL. Ho then called I'lidoi taker Daniel T. Jones to prove the allegation that tho funeial was publi" and that the casket was opened at the giave. Mr. Jones pt oved the diairetiic opposite'. In a plain, straightforward, and ap paiently fair and unbilled desctiptlon of the funeial. There were soma adults at tho funeral, be said, but It w is not, according to his state ment, a public funeral. Pall-bcaiei.s even were dispensed with, the family being satis fied to ha" the coifln carried fiom t li - house to the lu'aises and fiom tlv houses to the giave, by the under take! and his assistant. The lid of each coflln was lifted at the giave, ho admitted. te penult of ,i last lew of the remains, but the cof fins, novel thele-ts, were not opened, for beneath the lid of each was a second lid, a glass panel, which was kept tightly sciewed down and which closed the caskets as tightly, almost as if they weie lieinietleallv sealed. At -all events, the witness said, a public funeral could have been held and the' bodies openly exposed to view, without violation of the law, as th" eleith citliirutcs showed no contag ious disease In one case It was ni'plultls and in the other paialjsK Tho fuel that one ot the dead childieil bad n.id diphtheria led t'i the piecau tlons th it weie taken it being dcemo 1 h -st to make assui.uuc doubly surd and be on the safe side. This was til oxti'iit of the testimony offered by the piosecutlon. doctor's stati;mi;nt. Dr. Rellheliner, who made the death eoitltlouto, was piesent ami was called upon by the aldciman to make a state ment The e hlld that had died of paialvsis, ho said, was tteated by him for el'iph thciia and cured. Thieo or four davs lifter eveiy vestige of the illphtheiotie inembiane had dlsappeaied, and .ill liability lo contagion was gone, the i hlld developed pataljsls and died. While the patalysls may have been con sequent upon the diphtheria, the doc tor said, the child did not die of diph theria. When the last trace of the dlphtheila dlsappeaied four days pio vious and the house and all its sur loiindlugs weie tlioioughly fumigated, which was done with foimaldehyde gas under his own supei vision, every dan ger ot contagion was icmoved. The paral.vsls, he went on to explain, had the same i elation to the dlphtheila that lockjaw has to a cut In the band which was its primal y cause. The paialsls was the tesult of an Inteime ellate atfectlon, ,i change or disturb ance In the nerve centers. Tho geims, however, weie gone and the state of contagion was passed. He made pai tleular Investigation, by cultuie ex periments, after the cuilng of tho dlph theila, to .satlsty himself that the genus weie no longer piesent, and was satlslled that the funeial us conducted was in no wise a menace to tho public safet. "On iiur piofesslonal leputatlon aio ou willing lo state that It Is our opinion that the funiial was not such a menace'.'" tho nldciman asked. "I do slate II, In all consc lenee," Dr. Hellheimei icplled emphatically. SOMU KHKMNCJ PISPLAYHD. Dr. liellheimer was fiequently In tent uptcd In his testimony by Dr. Ken nedy and sevrtal lively tills ensue 1. which tended to show that tluie is soma feeling between the boiough's only two physic lan.i. Dr. Kennedy persisted In dlsrrilltln Dr. Hollheliner's throiy icguidiug the? absence of any elanger of contagion under the clicrimstancch leclted. Dr. Rolllu'Inior asked him: "Do not jour pathological studies so teach you?" "No," tersely replied Dr. Kennedy. "Well, then," i Joined Dr. Kellhelmer, "you've studied the wiong studies."

They found tho couple and while they weio waiting for Molaskl to change his clothes, tho latter made his escape by jumping from a second story w Indow. The woman was placed under airest and agieed to nceonipany Kosloskl and Cole back to Scranton.

"so the constable uskod me it I would .stay at a hotel. We got away liom my husband and went there.

The husband, believing that tho pilsoner and constable had come through to Scranton, tetuined homo Satuidav and not finding theni, sought Colo for nn explanation.

Intimated Many Marriages. In the hearing before Judge Udwards In the desertion case of Elizabeth A. O'Hoyle against James J. Q'Boyle, of the South Side, the defense attemptel to Justify Its offense by showing that the plaintiff was a very much mauled woman. TheO'Boles were married March 22, 189S, and lived together a year less a day. Prior to their marriage they lived together In Philadelphia for about a year, and the marriage, according to the husband's story, was to escape prosecution threatened by hlswife for a certain offense and Its co-ielntlve Im pending offense. When they secuted a marriage license here, Mrs. O'HojIe stated that she had been mairled befoie to ono James Chester, of 313 Oakford court, and later of Poi Hand, Oregon, and that Chester was dead. Now she says that sho was never mauled to Chester and that while she believes him dead, sho avers she only told the maniage license clerk that she bad heaid he was dead, and did not state positively that he was. Chester, sho says, was only brought Into tho case because she had lived with him as his housekeeper and had to be known as Mis. Chester. Her Intending husband wanted tho matter set straight and as the most convenient wuy out of it she proceeded with the application as if sho icilly was Mis. Chester. At that time, she also pioduced a letter pui polling to be fioni Maltha Chester, her pseudo-husband's sister, stating Chester had been killed In Washington bv a falling tiee and that his lemalns had been hiought to Richmond, Indi ana, and there interrcM. Tho defense opened Its case by pre senting the copy of a marriage certifi cate issued by K. A. Slocum, a Justice of the peace of Clarke county, Wash ington, dated May 19, 1S91, In which James Chester and L. L. riemlng ap peared as groom and bildo, respect ively. Mis. 0'HoIe denied that she was tho biide In question, or that she had over been In Claike county, "Washington. She had heard Chester say, however, that he was mauled to a girl named L. L. Fleming In Clarko county.'Wash Ington, and that he supposed sho was dead, but didn't know for sure. Her owh name, she admitted, was Kennedy, but her Initials weie "L A.," Lllza Ann. Fho also admitted that she was sometimes addressed as Lottie, and further that sho was In Portland, Oregon, In tho early '90s with Chester. Clarko county, Washington. It was shown. Is Just across tho ilver from Portland. Oregon. In tho letter from Chestei's sister she was referied to as "Lottie." She denied that she knew a man named Arnold, or that she had passed as Mrs. Arnold, at Bolsby's boarding house, on Franklin avenue, or that she had ever been mauled to a man named Kennedy, though she admitted she had a young daughter who was known by tho nanio of Kennedy. In concluding Its case tho defense produced a letter fiom Mai thu Chester, of Richmond, Indiana, denying that her biother, Jim Chester, the husband of Lottlo Fleming Chester, had been bulled In Richmond or thut his family In Chester knew nnythlng of his where abouts. The letter pioduced by Mis. O'Bojle, and purporting to bo fiom Maitha Chester, was btauded as u for get y, Miss Chester denying absolutely that sho had had any correspondence whatever with Lottlo or Mis. O'Boyle, as she Is known. An Absurdity of the Law.
