VARDON WENT OVER
THE GOLF COURSE
Was Getting Acquainted with the
Links Preliminary to Today's
Exhibition Men He Will Meet.
AVltat promises to be the most brll
Ilan golf week in tho history of the
Scranton Country club will open to
day with the Vnrdon exhibition match.
Not even the most devoted agricul
turalist in this section has prayed for
rain with more Intensity than has the
Pcrnnton golfer for the past few days.
Therefore, the little, down-pour of yes
terday has done a world of good to the
Country club course, and has gladden
ed theu hearts of the greens committee
to a corresponding degree.
T-.ast year we had a visitation of fog
for the tournament, an Immemorial
damper for Scranton. This year there
is a strike, while the prospect of links
parched and dusty loomed gloomily
before the local players. The rain has
changed all that, and today will pro
ably see the largest gathering follow
ing the match that has ever been ap
parent in this region.
The tournament preliminaries prac
tically began yesterday, when Mr. Var
don went over the course In a four
some with C. S. Coxe. of New York.
against Clayton Dixon, of Philadel
phia, and J. H. TSrooks, of this city.
The former won, four up. The match
was played simply that Mr. Vardon
might go round the links and become,
to some degree, familiar with his work
ot today, which will be tremendous In
the heavy handicap of playing two to
one against .fuur of the best golfers
of the Scranton Country club. In the
round yesterday, ho made some drives
which fairly took away tho breath
of the onlookers, so wonderful and so
accurate were they. He plays a phen
omenal long shot, having almost su
perhuman strength in his massive
wrists and hands. Oddly .enough, he
laps the latter In the grip on his club,
and seems to gain some additional
force by this method.
air. Vardon's victory last week in
Chicago makes him, for the fourth
lime, the champion of the world,
three times having now this distinc
tion in England, and once in Ameriear
the greatest record held by any golfer.
Hc "is about 33 years old, and started
liff on a farm at Ganton, Kngland.
where he and his brothers had a golf
course. Prom caddie to world's cham
pion is a big stride, but that Is what
this muscular young man has accom
plished. 1'erhaps his chief aid to suc
cess hns been a mlraculouly true eye,
which never misleads him in a match.
The famous medal received at Chicago
Is on exhibition at Florey & Brooks
The- morning match of eighteen holes
will open at 10 o'clock, when Mr. Var
don will play the best ball of T. II.
Wiitklns or A. 55. Huntington, In tho
afternoon at 2.30 he will play a simi
lar match against J. II. Brooks and
F. C. Fuller.
Not only the Country club members,
but the public is Invited, to witness
the .great exhibition match. A fee of
$t will be charged adults; fiO cents for
those under 15. Jnmes ninlr, jr., is

The entries for the open tournament

are already numbered and the

Eight beautiful cups and two meer
schaum golf pipes are offered as
prizes, and are In the window of Flor

about 8,30 tomorrow morning. Tonight

VERY BUSY DAY IN
CRIMINAL COURT
TWO OP THE MEN'S UNION
OASES WERE TRIED.
t
Fleas of Guilty Were Entered In Four
Others and the Defendants Were
Sentenced to Threo Months Each.
The Sensational Ames Case Is on
Trial Beforo Judge Archbald in
the Main Court Room Judge Love
Reprimanded Jurors in n Liquor
Case Who Ignored Evidence.
The October term of criminal court,
which will prove perhaps tho most Im
portant ever held In this county, open
ed yesterday with a rush. Judge B.
W. Archbald Is presiding In tho main
court room; Judge Cyrus Gordon, ot
Clcurflcld county, In the Superior court
room, and Judge John G. Love, of
Centre county, in No. 2.
Tho liquor cases In which Robert
Wilson, tho agent of the Men's union,
Is prosecutor, occupied considerable of
the attention of the court. In the af
ternoon, a Jury was being callcdv for
No. 2 to try the case of the common
wealth against Anthony Dunlcavey,
when a mild sort of a sensation was
caused. There were not enough ot
Jurors of the regular panel left to
make up a jury, nnd tho court, as is
the usual custom, named a half dozen
of the spectators In the main court
room as talesmen.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien, who was
defending Dunleavey, would have none
of these. He charged that most of
them are professional talesmen, who
are noted for their verdicts for the
commonwealth and he demanded that
the sheriff draw tho talesmen. This
was agreed to and Sheriff C. E. Pryor
drew a new set of talesmen.
DUNLEAVEY ON TRIAL.
Dunleavey was then put on trial bo
fore Judge Love and Messrs. Keene,
Reed and Dodge, agents for the Men's
union, testified that on Juno 22 and
25 .last they purchased intoxicating
beverages at Dunleavey's place, at 728
Cedar avenue. Agent Robert Wilson
testified to admissions Dunlcavey made
to him.
Dunleavey denied having sold In
toxicants to tho agents for the Men's
union, or nnone else. He runs a gro
cery store, not a speakeasy, he said.
The case was submitted to the jury
without argument, on the charge of
the court, just before court adjourned.
The prosecution was conducted by
Colonel F. Ij. Hitchcock and Attorney
F. E. Beers, counsel for iho Men's
union.
The first of tho Men's union liquor
cases to be put on trial was that
wherein Mrs. Catherine Cannon, of 417
Christ court, was tho defendant. The
evidence of the prosecution was to the
effect that on Sunday afternoon.July
29, intoxicating beverages were pur
chased by agents of the Men's union
In Mrs. Cannon's place. She has no
license.
No evidence was offered upon the
part of the defense, and after the
jury had been out for a time. Judge
Love sent a messenger to tho jury
room to ascertain the cause of tho de
lay. Soon after, the jurors tiled into
court and said they could not agree.
"There was a difference of opinion
among them," the foreman paid.
JUDGE'S REPRIMAND.
"A juror has no right to have opin
ions," replied Judge Love. "They are
sworn to try a case according to the
law and the evidence and return a
verdict according to the facts. Here
Is a case where there is considerable
evidence that liquor was sold without
a license, and this evidence is not
challenged, nor Is there anything of
fered by way of contradiction by the
defense. It seems to mo your duty
is plain. You ought to have ho difil
culty to agree. You may retire again
and I might say to you that I will not
discharge you In a case of this kind."
Fleas of guilty were entered In the
following Men's union cases:
Thomas Coyne, selling liquor with
out a license; Robert Wilson, prosecu
tor. Sentence, $300, costs, and three
months In county jail,
James J. (Settings, West Scranton,
selling liquor without a license, Rob
ert Wilson, prosecutor. Sentence, $M0,
costs, and three months in county
jull.
Michael Thornton, South Scranton,
selling liquor without a license, Robert
Wilson, prosecutor. Sentence, $500,
costs, three months in 'county jail.
John Edwards, Luzerne street, sell
ing liquor without a license; Robert
Wilson, prosecutor, Sentence, $500,
cots, nnd three months in county
jail.
Thomns Norton. M. H. Llnnen and
Hugh Price, Carbondaio men, charged
with selling liquor without a license,
by Consiablc Henry H, Pierce, did not
appear and capiases were issued' for
them.
THE AMES CASE.
Before Judge Archbald In the main
court room the case of Dr. C. R,
Knapp, of Forest city, charged with
adultery by E. F. Ames, was put on
trial just prior to tho adjourning hour.
The case is one that caused a profound
sensation hereabouts several months
ago.
Dr. Knapp was a prominent physi
cian of Forest City several months ago
and E. F. Ames was tho banker of the
village. It was noticed that tho doctor
was very attentive to the banker's
wife and that sometimes they wero
away from home at the same time. On
one of these occasions they wero traced
to this city and found occupying the
same room at a hotel here.
The arrest of Mrs, Ames and the
doctor followed and both were Indicted,
AVhen the case was called yesterday
it was proposed to try both at the samo
time, but Attorney John F. Scragg,
who, with Attorney L.,P. Wedeman
represent the doctor, objected and It
was ruled by the court that they should
be tried separately, Mrs, Ames then
retired from tho defendant's table, She
Is a slight, pale woman with a re
fined face, distinctly out of keeping
with quarter sessions couVt. She now
lives at Wllltes-Barre. Her husband
,haB retired from the banking business
and now lives at Waymart. Tho dis
trict attorney will bo assisted In tho
trial of the case by Attorney Joseph
O'Brien and Attorney T. D. Shea, ot
Nantlcoke. The work of taking testi

orr case was heard. The defendant Is
William H. Relghard, of Ninth street,
and the prosecutrix Mrs. W. B. Dug
gan, agent for the board of associated
charities. The chnrge against Relg
hard Is that on Aug. 17 he had his 10-year-old
daughter, Lulu, remove her
clothing until sho was entirely nude,
nnd ho then whipped her with an In
strument of torture made of strands
of copper wire, which he wielded with
such vigor as to cut the child's flesh
in a terrible manner.
Mrs. Relghard, the girl's stepmother,
afterwards applied turpentine to the
wounds as an ointment, which caused
frightful suffering. The boating is not
denied by the father, but in extenua
tion he says he was enraged over the
conduct of his daughter with her broth
er. He had warned and chastized her
several times, he said, for immoral
acts, and on the night in questlon.when
he returned home, he heard of acts by
the child so revolting as to decide him
to take heroic measure and in his rage
he inflicted punishment upon the child.
The case was on trial when court ad
journed. The audience that heard the
sickening testimony was made up
largely of women.
BAILS FORFEITED.
J. B. Roberts, the young man who Is
charged with having attempted to as
sault Alice M. Sweeney on the boule
vard one night several months ago, did
not appear for trial and his ball was
forfeited and a capias issued for him.
The same action was taken In tho case
of Patrick O'Donnell, malicious mis
chief.
A verdict of not guilty was taken in
the case of William Robinson, charged
with felonious wounding, Chief of Po
lice Robllng, prosecutor.
Charles Sweeney, of Waverly, was
tried before Judge Gordon for assault
ing Ira Mitten, of the same place. The
jury thought both men had a hand In
the affray and returned a verdict of
not guilty and divided the costs.
James J. Carden was tried before
Judge Love on a charge of having as
saulted und battered Mrs. Edward Rob
bins. The verdict was not guilty but
tho defendant was directed to pay the
costs.
Charles Miller was the first person
put on trial before Judge R. W. Arch
bald. It Is charged that on August 16
last he struck Stove MorkofskI In tho
face wIHt a beer glass, cutting him
badly. Sillier was convicted and was
sentenced to pay n line of $10 and
spend thirty days In jail.
THE TAl'PAN CASE
Warren Tappan was next put on
trial, charged by his wife, Elizabeth
Tappan, with having assaulted her at
their homo In Carbondale, Juno 27
last. The Tappans have been married
forty years and their union has been
blessed by twelve children. One of
them Is Lizzie May Tappan, a gor
geously bejewelled young woman, who
was on the stand yebteiday as a wit
ness for her mother.
Miss Tappnn attained some dis
tressing notoriety sevoinl years ago
through the exhibition of u young man
of Carbondale of what purported to
be n photograph of her In the nude.
It was claimed that the photograph
was made by grafting the head of a
photograph of Miss Tappan upon tho
body ot a nude figure. Wallace Mc
Mullen, a prominent young man of
Carbondaio, was arrested on tho
charge of exhibiting this photograph
and was convicted.
Tho troubles of the Tappans seems
to have been caused by tho attention
of Tappan to a Mrs. Henry Gilbert.
Mrs. Tappnn said her husband, on tho
day In question, picked up a but
cher's knlfo and threatened to cut her
with It, and then laying that down,
grnbbed a ham bone and struck her
several times with it and bruised her
severely. Lizzie May Tappan corrob
orated her mother and said that her
father frequently threatened to kill
her mother, saying ho was tired of her
and wanted to get rid of her. Several
letters wore produced, which It wns
alleged Tappan wrote to Mrs. Gil
bert. MADE DENIAL.
When he went on tho stand, he de
nied having written the letters In ques
tion, nnd, ns to tho assault, denied
having used either tho knife or ham
bone against his wife. Ho admitted
having struck her, but ho apologized
for this. The trouble between them,
ho snld, wns not duo to Mrs, Gilbert,
but to his wife's extravagance. Sho
was constantly running him Into debt.
Ho denied very positively having pur
chased shoes for Mrn. Gilbert. The
latter for soveral yeari was a tenant
In one of Tnppun's houses In Car
bondale, and now resides In this city.
Mrs. Tappan was recalled to the,
stand In rebuttal, and told of tho re
lations between her husband and
Mrs, Gilbert. On cmo occasion,
when Mrs. Gilbert Jived In Car
bondale, she fouud her hus
band In the former's bed room.

EVERHART CASE

HE HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM

Son Go to Prison and Will Give
Him nn Opportunity to Make a
Fresh Start Common Ball Allowed
in the Breach of Promise, Case Bo
gun by Miss Williams. '
Edwin E. Everhart will In all prob
ability never be tried on tho chargo
of conspiring to kill his father, Dr. I.
F. Everhart, Who lives on Franklin
avenue near Spruce street. Everhart
wns yesterday released on bnll and
will join tho United States marines.
Today ho will leave the city for' one
of tho mnrlno mustering stations. Ho
will probably be sent to the Philip
pines. The ease against Everhart was at tho
head of tho list for yesterday In crim
inal court, nnd when It was called At
torney I. H. Burns, who represented
young Everhart, asked for a continu
ance. Ho said Everhart was In Jail
since his arrest and had been without
moans to employ counsel or summon
witnesses. Ho had only been called
Into the case recently and wns not pre
pared to go on with the trial at this
time. Judge R. W. Archbald allowed
the motion for a continuance and later
Everhart entered ball In the sum of
$800 beforo Judge John P. Kelly and
was released. M. P. Flynn became hi3
bondsman.
Everhart has been In the county jail
since June 22 last, when he was ar
rested on tho charge of hiring John
Lewis, of North Scranton, to kill his
father. For weeks prior to that date
Everhart had been drinking heavily,
and had become estranged from his
father over his connection with the
Rlnsland divorce case, In which ho was
named as the co-respondent.
HE "WAS DESPERATE.
He had reached his last dollar, he
saw no means of replenishing his
pockctbook, and in this dilemma he
hired Lewis to kill his father.Dr. Ever
hart, hoping to at once come Into tho
Everhart estate which Is one of great
value.
Everhart gave Lewis minute Instruc
tions as io the manner, in which he
would bo best enabled to got into the
Everhart residence to commit the mur
der, and as a reward gave him a note
for $5,000.
Lewis was not prepared to engage
in such a desperate enterprise and in
formed tho authorities with the result
that Everhart was arrested. The ac
cused presented a neat, well groomed
appearance when brought into court
yesterday morning with a batch of oth
er prisoners by Warden Simpson, of
the county jail. His term in prison
had wrought a great improvement in
his personal appearance.
Dr. Everhart was in the court room
earlier In the day, but left before his
son came In with the string of pris
oners. It Is the father who has made
it possible for the son to again breathe
the air of freedom. Greatly as he was
hurt and humiliated by the youth ho
could not steel himself to the point of
sending his own flesh and blood to
prison.
BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.
Before the criminal case was con
sidered the cqurt heard arguments on
the question of admitting Everhart to
common ball in the breach of promise
case, begun by Miss May Williams, the
divorced wife of City Assessor Phil.
Rinsland, who alleges that Everhart in
New York promised to marry her.
Attorney M. J. Martin appeared on
behnlf of Evernart and Attorney A.
A. Vosburg for Miss Williams. Attor
ney Martin alleged that the action
could not stund for the reason that un
der the act of 1815 a person divorced
for adultery cannot marry again during
the life time of the person from whom
she was divorced. -Miss Williams hav
ing been divorced on that ground could
not enter into a compact to marry any
ono. It W11.S also, alleged that the papers
were defective Inasmuch as they spoke
of the plaintiff as May Williams In
one place and May Rlnsland in another.
On this ground Judge Archbald de
clared the papers defective and grant
ed tho motion for common ball or
in other words released Everhart on
his own recognizance.

Initiation of illurts to enforce the laws, tliould
indicate their picsent Inteicst by being in the

go en.
If jou are not strongly represented there, your

us upend an hour, as we may, even by Hie sac
rlflce of other bmlnets, in upholding justice, Let
our witnesses when any attempt is made to dis
parage truthful testimony, look into the sym
pathetic faces of friends who appreciate tiutli

tured that thoe whom they uprei-eut, are at
hand, Let the Judges be aware, by our atten

community which seeks, in impartial Justice, the
best social order.
'Let the Jurors feel that, without partisanship,

as In the church.
To good men, good laws and their enforce,
ineiit are a part of their business. Let us sup
