THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1900. MORE LIQUOR CASES CALLED FOR TRIAL WOMAN CONVICTED OF KEEP ING A SPEAKEASY. Charloti rind John Rfiino of tho First Weird Answer for Soiling Liquor Aftor Court Had Twico Refused to Grant Them a Liconso Nicholas George, of Providenco, Chargo hy His Son-in-Law and Saughtor with Violation of tho Liconse Laws Other Matters. Three more liquor cases were called for tilal yesterday In quarter sessions. Mrs. Bridget Cooke, of rear of C2S Min eral street, was convicted of keeping a speakeasy, on testimony furnished by Agents Wilson and Ileld of the Men's union. Tho case against Charles Halite and his son John, in which K. H. Sturges Is the prosecutor, and the case of Nicholas Ocorge, prosecuted by hla son-in-law", Anthony Ituddy.wcre given to tho Jury Just before adjournment. It was the general opinion that there would be n conviction In each case. Mrs. Cooke did not go on the stand and offered no defense. Her nttorney, Joseph O'Brien, had to be content with seeing that no Irrelevant testimony was introduced against her and with watching out for some technicality on which to trip up tho prosecution. Tho case was submitted without argument. James II. Touey and P. J2. Beers as sisted In tho prosecution. It was tried before Judge Archbald. The Jury ac companied its finding with n recom mendation of extreme mercy. Tho Ralnc case occupied all of the afternoon before Judge Aichbald. Mr. O'Brien, with George M. Okell, looked after the defense. Assistant District Attorney Thomas, Mr. Torrey and Mr. Beers represented tho prosecution. Agent Boboit Wilson, of tho Men'H union, occupied the prosecutor's usual place, while the nominal prosecutor, E. 15. Sturges, sat among tho onlooklng attorneys, within the Dar enclosure. Occasionally he walked over to the prosecutor's table to confer with the counsel for the Men's union. BUILT A LARGE HOTEL. Tho Raines, three years ago, erected a large hotel building at the intersec tion of the Boulevard and Olyphant road and littcd it up with an expensive bar and other accoutrements of a hotel. At the 1839 session of license court they applied for a license and were re fused, mainly because of the opposition of the residents of tho neighborhood, headed by I. 1 Carter. This year the application was te newed and again refused, the opposi tion, this time, coming not only from tho Immediate neighbors but the Men's union. Despite the fact that court had twico refused to give them a license, It ap pears, they sold intoxicants all alonj;. March 31 last, Edward Wilcox, acting nt Mr. Carter's suggestion, engaged William Trelbel, a nineteen-year-old boy of Elmhurst, and William Van Buskirk and Clarence McLean, of Madlsonvllle, to accompany him to the Raines' place and secure drink. They slept over night in Mr. Carter's house, and the next day, Sunday, April 1, re peated their visit nnd. besides buying and drinking beer and liquor on the premises, bought nnd carried away a pint of whiskey. This quartette related these things yesterday, and produced tho bottle of whiskey. None of them testified to having seen the older Ralno about the place on either of their visits. On cross-examination, McLean ad mitted that he had said recently he was sorry for the part lie played In tho affair, as ho realized It was a put-up Job, concocted by Carter. Ho also ad mitted that Carter had given him some money and told him that he would get more than his witness fees after the trial. TALKED WITH RAINES. In answer to questions by Mr. Tor rey, the witness further admitted that Robert Ralne, a son of one defendant and brother of the other, had been In troduced to him the day before as Rob ert Williams and had talked to him about the case-while they were having a glass ol beer together. Robert Reidy, of 1432 Sanderson ave nue, was put on the stand to tell of having fiequented Raines' hotel and drank there. He began to equivocate from the very first question and Mr. Beers was despairing almost of get ting the witness to tell anything, when Judge Archbald camo to the rescue with "Well, if the witness isn't sure about the identity of the Raines place suppose you let the sheriff take him up and show it to him." Tho squirm ing witness wns handed over to a deputy sheriff and escorted to Raines' hotel. When ho returned, nn hour later, he udmltted having visited the place once but could not recollect hav ing drank anything there. Judge Archbald acted several times as if lie vns on the point of saying something to Mr. Reidy, but desisted, possibly because of the danger of prejudicing the defendant's case.

Ho took his brother to Raines' BalQon Enstcr Sunday to show him the fancy bar he had built, and had a dim recol lection of having bought a cigar, but nothing more. He could not remem ber ever having admitted to Agent Wilson, of tho Men's union, that ho bought intoxicating drink nt Raines' place. DEPOSITIONS READ. Depositions from Internal Rcvenuo Collector T. P. Penman were read by Mr. Torrey, showing that nn effort had been made to sec ire tho records of his oiUca or a certified copy thereof to prove that John Ralne, tho younger defendant, had taken out two revenue licenses, and that tho effort was un successful, because tho treasury de partment strictly crjolns Its collec tors not to tnko the records out of their offices and not to give a certified copy of them to any one except on an order of tho secretary of the treas ury. Attorney P. E. Beers then took the stand and testified to having examined the records and found thut young Ralno had taken cut a license April 1, covering the remaining part of the fiscal year, which cost him 47.05, and unother on July 1 for tho succeeding year, for which ho paid J25. Agent Wilson then teMifled that on the tlrst Sunday after tho Raines' license was refused, last March, he saw four men go Into the barroom at 10 o'clock in a perfectly sober con dition, itud come out at 11.30 o'clock In a state of intoxication. He also saw a little glil come from tho bar-room with a pail containing what looked and smelled like beer. The defense was that the defendants, of course, were wholly Innocent; that P. P. Carter, becatso of some trouble over tho land on which tho hotel wns built, was using E. B. Sturges and the Men's union as a tool to work vengeance on the Raines; that tho son leased the lower part of the house to conduct a soft drink nnd Ice cream establishment; that tha father had no connection whatever with the busi ness and that the son served In the Spanish war. SON'S EXPLANATION. The explanation which the son made of the Internal revenue license mat ter wns Interesting. He was given to understand by some one that a rev enue license was necessary if he want ed to sell cigars and tobacco and he proceeded to get one. Mr. Torrey asked him what he call ed for when he went to get the license. He replied that he asked for a license to sell cigars and tobacco. The reve nue olileers gave him a paper and charged him at tho rate of $25 a year for it. This was done on two occa sions. He did not read the paper and ali he knew about it was that it was a revenue license. Mr. Torrey, in commenting on this thing In his summing up, said tho wit ness was either the most barefaced liar or biggest idiot that had ever reached manhood's estate. In his closing argument Mr. O'Brien fairly raised the roof with a vocifer ous arraignment of the prosecution, for having lent Itself as a cloak to hide Mr. Carter's "mailed hand." Mr. Tor rey in reply likened the defense to a cuttle fish, which, when it is attacked, exudes from a sac an Inky fluid that darkens the water all about It and permlt3 It to escape. Mr. O'Brien, he said, was hired to press the sac. Judge Archbald gave no Indication in his charge of having been very deeply Im pressed with the reasonableness of tho defense. He, however, advised the Jury to acquit the older Raines, as tho evidence was hardly sufficient to war rant his being held for the crime. Tho son, however, could be convicted on all three charges of selling without a license, selling on Sunday and selling to minors. The Jury returned at C o'clock. ANOTHER LIQUOR CASE. The third liquor case embraced one of three charges preferred against Nicholas George, of tho North End, by his son-in-law and neighbor, An thony Ruddy. The parties have been lawing for about two years and in most every term of every kind of court sees them as litigants. The trouble re sults from the fact that George's daughter married Ruddy against her father's will. earning concealed weapons and assault and battery were the other two charges on which George wns tried yesterday. Ruddy's wife testified against her father in all three cases. The evidence In the liquor case was of the usual kind, the two Ruddys and Benjamin Walker presenting it. George denied that he kept a speakeasy, but made tho probably fatal admission that he occasionally received consignments of beer from Stegmelr and whiskey from Philadelphia. The case was given to tho Jury by Judge Cameron Just before adjournment. Other Quarter Sessions Cases. Louis Rosar admitted tho charge of felonious wounding preferred by Chief Robling. Rosar. while drunK, stabbed his foreman, Thomas Irwin, at tho Cliff works, inflicting a painful, though not serious, wound In his breast. Ho will be sentenced tomorrow. S. A. Gllby, tho Carbondnle constnblo who succeeded In having Polly Smith convicted for keeping a disorderly house, was himself convicted yester day of offenses committed In gathering evidence against the place. Nora Bryden and Carrie Stiles, who wero inmates of the house, were the prose cutors. The girls In turn were ordsred held In $100 ball on their own recogniz ance to answer at the next session for perjury. Tho charge Is founded on dis crepancies In their testimony at the two trials. The costs were divided In the assault nnd battery case In which Sablna Mur phy, of the North End, was prosecutor and her neighbor, Bridget Hnnahoo, defendant. Murphy's goose went Into Hanahoo's yard and Mrs. Hnnahoo went after it. Norman Anderson, of Blakely, was returned not guilty of the charge of assault and battery preferred by Wil son Bridges. A verdict of not' guilty was taken In the perjury case from Taylor In which David J3. Evans was defendant and Obadlah Day, prosecutor. Jushnla Reynolds was declared not guilty of assault and battery and John W. Hil ton, who failed to prosecute, was di rected to pay the costs. Tho assault and battery case preferred by Mary Radigan against her son, Thomas, was withdrawn. S. B. Dawson and Nellie James, charged by Constable Jack Tlerney with keeping a disorderly house, wero found guilty. A verdict of not guilty was taken In Jhe assault and battery case pre ferred by Patrick Loftus. against his wife, Bridget1 Loftus, the parties hav- lng settled tho matter out of court. Three New Trespass Suits. Nine-year-old Ida Steinberg, pf Rlchter street, by her next trl'end and uncle, Levern B. Lyon, brought a $5, 000 trespass suit yesterday against Clarence E. Reynolds, who wns one of the candidates for register of wills In Monday's primaries. A similar suit was Instituted by tho glrl'B father last fall. Tho young plaintiff nnd her younger "brother nnd sister were watering their father's horse, which was turned loose on the commons near their home. Rey nolds, it Is alleged, came along and for a Joke placed the three children astride the horse nnd started him olf. They fell oft and Ida, who had a pall on her arm, had tho arm badly frac tured. She was In a hospital for seven months, undergoing fourteen different surgical operations. Her arm has stiffened In a crooked position nnd her general health has been impaired.

A committee representing the Insur ance agents of the city waited upon Mayor Moir yesterday morning for the purpose of protesting against certain clauses of the license tax ordinance now pending In councils. The certain clauses above referred to are those providing for a tax on insurance agents. The committee was armed with a copy of the act of 1874, gov erning third-class cities, by which tho taxation of Insurance agents Is pro hibited. The mayor, however, produced a copy of the net of 1887, In which under the section defining the corporate powers of a city It Is provided "that such city may levy and collect a license tax from Insurance agents, etc., etc." Tho mayor also referred them to a Supreme court decision In which this section of the act of 1887 Is held to repeal the prohibitory clause In the act of 1874. This seemed to convince the mem bers of tho committee that their po. sltlon was not tenable and they with drew.

COMMITTEE ON CONTESTS. After the resolutions were adopted Chairman Penman announced that the committee on contests would meet nt once. He said In the absence of any special form of procedure In the mat ter of hearing contests he was unable to give much Information on the sub Ject until the committee had a meet ing. For tho purpose of weeding out the unnecessary contests C. E. Chittenden moved that none of tho contests ba considered where the vote did not ex ceed that cast for McKlnley In 1S96 and where at least live Illegal votes were not specified. Attorney W. J. Douglas at this point claimed the attention of the chairman and started to make a speech about abuses at Monday's primaries. Frank M. Spencer stood beside him. Somp one whispered to Mr. Douglas that ho had no right to speak in the conven tion for the reason that ho was not a return judge nnd he npologlzed and subsided. The committee on contests retired at 11.30 and tho convention ad journed until 2 p. m. to await the report. Promptly at 2 o'clock Chnlrman Vosburg called the convention to order ngaln nnd the task of compiling tho vote was begun. Attorney James E. Watklns acted as reading clerk and Secretaries Davles and Williams as recording and comparing clerks. A few minutes after the convention opened John R. Edwards, of the con tests committee, came in nnd tendered his resignation for the reason that his district was contested. J. H. Seward, of the Thirteenth ward, was named by Chairman Vosburg as his succes sor. CONTESTED DISTRICTS. Fifteen minutes later the contest committee camo Into the convention and through Chairman Penman pre sented Us report. He said contests hnd been present?d from tho follow ing districts: Archbald Second ward. Plakely First ward. Second ward. Dickson City First ward, Second ward. Dunmore First ward. First nnd Second dis tricts; Second ward, Tlrst and Second districts; Third ward, First, Second nnd Third districts; Fourth ward, Fifth ward, Sixth ward, Second district. Jcrmyn Third ward. Mayfleld. Old Forse First, Second and Fourth districts Olyphant First ward, Tlrst district; Second ward. Third ward, First and Second districts; Fourth ward. Taylor Second ward. Third ward. Wlnton First ward.

First district; Eighth ward, First and Second districts; Ninth ward, Second and Third districts; Fourteenth ward, Second district; Fifteenth ward. First and Second districts; Six teenth ward, First and Second districts; Seven teenth ward, First district; Twentieth ward, First, Third and Fourth districts. Mr. Penman said that after the com mittee organized It proceeded to con sider the contests which were ex cluded by the rule adopted by the convention to the effect that no con test would be considered where more votes had not been polled than for McKlnley In 1896 or where. It was not alleged that there were at least five illegal votes. Under this rule the con tests from the following districts were excluded: niakclv Second ward. Dunmore Third ward, Second district. .Term) n Second ward. Maj field. Old Force Fourth district. Oljuhant Third ward, First district. Scranton-Second ward. Fourth and Fifth dis tricts; Ninth ward, Second nnd Third districts; Fifteenth ward, Second district; Sixteenth ward. First nnd Second districts; Seventeenth ward. First and Second districts; Twentieth ward, First and Second districts. ENTERED PROTESTS. Frank M. Spencer, who began all of tho contests, appeared before the com mittee with his attorney, John F. Scragg, and entered a protest against the legality of the exclusion rule adopted by the convention and also tho membership of the committee. It was contended that a convention of return judges could not legally appoint n com mittee to consider alleged Illegal acts committed by these judges, and it wa3 further objected that two members of the committee, the chairman and John R. Edwards, represented districts that were contested. Mr. Edwnrds there upon resigned, but the chairman said he did not, because under thi rule of the convention the contest from his district wns not a valid one. After entering their protest, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Scragg withdrew from the com mittee room, offering no evidence to sustain any of the contests Instituted. Therefore, Mr. Penman stated, the committee agreed to report in favor of counting the votes handed in by the return Judges of contested districts, nothing having been offered to chal lenge their correctness. This report was adopted without a dissenting voice by the convention. William Corliss, of tho Fifteenth ward called attention to the confusion that was caused Monday by using the regular official ballots and the official ballots issued to candidates, as pro vided for by the rules. He asked tho convention to put Itself on record ns to the kind of votes that should be counted hereafter, with a view to avoiding in the future the uncertainty that assailed the members of Mon day's election boards. Under a sus pension of the rules, after some de bate, Rule 19 was amended by striking out tho word "olllclal" and Inserting the word "specimen." Hereafter can didates can get specimen ballots by applying ten days before election, but these ballots will not be accepted by the board. Only the regular, olllclal ballot will be counted. Mr. Chittenden suggested that as It would take until far Into the night to complete the work of compiling and computing tho returns, that the work be delegated to the officers of the con ventlon under suitable reservations. C R, Smith, of Elmhurst, objected on the ground that this could only be done by a change of the rules. Later, Major Penman offered tho fol- CouHofljSWallac SCRANTON'S SHOPPING CENTER. i The New Hosiery Men's, Women's, Children's The preference of them sold already than in any previous season.
