NO TRACE OF WHERE
MONEY CAME FROM
Last Night's Session of the Council
manic Investigation Was Barren
of Results The Wit
nesses Examined.
Last night's hearing before Alder
man Fuller In the city hall bribery
charges failed to develop anything
sensational. Efforts were made to
show by the local reiiresentutlves of
the Barber Asphalt company that
money was paid to Carl W. McKlnney
to bo used in furthering the passage
of the repair contract, and a lot of
questions were put to General Mana
ger Edward JI. Stack, of the electric
light companies, with a view to di aw
ing out an admission that money or
some other valuable consideration fig
ured in securing the passage of the
electric light contract, but the inquiry
totully failed of its purpose in both in
stancies. ,
George P. Griffiths, superintendent of
the Barber Asphalt company, was the
llrst witness. In response to questions
by Mr. Torrey he said he did not know
positively that C. W. McKlnney was
employed by the Barber company. He
knew nothing of any of the company's
money passing through Mr. McKin
ney's hands for any purposes.
J. C. Rock, J. M. West and A. W.
Hartwell were In turn general agents
of the company in this city, from the
spring of 1S9S till May, 1S99, when Hen
ry A. Sheldon, the present agent suc
ceeded to the position. Witness was
in charge of the operating department
and has no knowledge of any dis
bursements except for material and
labor in the construction department.
Mr. Sheldon was next called. He
produced the "record" book, contain
ing entries of every item of debit and
credit of the company's Scranton ac
counts since it began business hero
and also the check book covering the
period In which the money Is supposed
to have passed to Mr. McKlnney. An
examination of the books was made
by the witness at Mr. Torrey's request
and with Mr. Torrey looking over his
shoulder ho ran over each Item in
search of something that would look
like a payment to Mr. McKlnney, but
tno search was in vain.
Mr. Stack, the next witness, was
closely questioned by Mr. Torrey as
to the transfer of the Scranton Elec
tric Tjp;ht and Heat company's stock
from the Scranton Gas and Water
company to the Electuc Company of
America. From the tenor of the
questions, it was to bo inferred that
tlu prosecution wanted to learn if it
whs possible that home of ho stock
went to councllmen. Nothing of In
terest was elicited.
Mr. Stack admitted that his com
pany had secured an option on the
Scranton Electric Llglit nnd Heat com
pany, and that the closing of the op
tion was conditional on the securing
of a renewal of the city contract. The
option was closed April 6, 1800.
Mr. McKlnney Interested himself Jn
securing the contract, but did It, so
the witness wan informed by Mr. Mc
Klnney, because of his having been a
life-long friend of Mr. Scranton. the
president of the Scranton company.
TCiuuiiuuu .muivin unci I'onimonor

regarding the terms of the hid and h
supplied them with this information,

WESTCOTI CHARGED
WITH BLASPHEMY
WAS PUT ON TRIAL BEFORE
JUDGE ARCHBALD.
Ho Mado on Effort to Have the In
dictment Quashed but the Paper Ho
Filed Did Not Allege Anything
Against tho Validity of tho Docu
mentCourt Assigned Attorney C.
Ballantino to Defend tho Accursed.
District Attorney's Opening of tho
Case to the Jury.
Edmund Stono Westcott, n man
well advanced In years, ot marked ec
centricities, who Is one of the noted
characters about town, was put on
trial late yesterday afternoon before
Judge R. W. Archbald, In tho main
court room, on the charge of blas
phemy. County Detective Thomas
Leyshon Is the prosecutor.
Westcott was at one time a lawyer
nnd Is noted about town for his ar
guments against Christianity. He
boasts of tho fact that he In an Infi
del nnd he has repeatedly stated that
when he was a practicing attorney In
the Eastern state he frequently of
fered a reward to any person who
would prosecute him for blasphemy,
nnd apparently what Is his dearest
wish Is now being gratified, although
he has not seen lit to offer n reward
here.
When the court opened In the morn
ing, Wescott usked permission to con
duct his own defense. This the court
granted, but later In the duy the
permission had to be revoked by the
assigning of counsel to look after
Westcott's case. He was bobbing up
before the court every time there was
a lull in the proceedings with some
motion, which he dellveted himself of
In a loud tone of voice. It required tho
combined efforts of half the court offi
cers to keep Westcott in a seat and
likewise to keep him from disturb
ing the court.
WANTED IT QUASHED.
When Westcott appeared before the
com t in the morning, he asked that the
Indictment against him bo quashed,
for the following reasons:
Believing that a man of conviction, wliu is
loady to answer and bo responsible for cery
word be ever uttered, bus a right to fiir tee.it
nient in any couit when words he never uttered
are put in to Ids mouth. Believing this he nsks
for this nile. Because, on the face of this indict
ment, the wolds and their meaning were never
spoken on the face of this cirth by anv man or
dreamed to lie spoken of In the brain of any
man. except soino buse infouner of the old in
fiiisltlon, as by a detective living low enough for
the vvork.
Further, because in the manifest perjury on
the face of this indictment, the highest woik
cf the court at this time in this case is the
work of placing this informer where lie can have
no advantage of his own wrong; and inquiry into
his methods, and tho removal of such ii menace
to tho liberty of Lackawanna county and this
state.
Because (although the defendant never uttered
these words) there is nothing in these words, in
any sense, to constitute the crime a blasphemy.
Therefore our petitioner pra.vfe the court to
grant a rule to show cause why this Indictment
shall not be quashed.
Dated at Scranton, Lackawanna county, tlil3,
Olh day of Octobei, 1000.
Edwin Stone Wescott, Defendant.
This paper, the court said, contained
a statement of the way the defendant
looked at the charges against him, but
contained no reason why the Indict
ment should not stand, and tho motion
to quash was therefore overruled.
THOUGHT HIM UNBALANCED.
Toward the close of the afternoon,
when Westcott's case was called for
trial, he was again before the court
and read a request that witnesses be
subpoenaed In his behalf at the ex
pense of the commonwealth. Judge
Archbald directed that the desired sub
poenas be issued. Westcott continued
to talk, and Judge Archbald said:
"This man seems to be unbalanced,
and I believe I ought to assign some
ono to assist him in the trial of the
cate." Ho thereupon named Attorney
C. Ballentino.
Westcott was on his feet in an In
stant, and In his deepest tones was de
dal Ing that If he must have a lawyer,
ho wanted to select him. Activity on
the part of court officials landed West
cott In a chair, wheie ho continued to
piotest that he wanted a say In select
ing the lawyer who should defend him,
Mr. Ballentine was anxious to be 10
lleved of the responsibility, but the
court said it would be pleased to have
him perfoim tho duties Imposed, and
the work of selecting a jury was taken
up, Mr. Jones had completed his open
ing to the jury when court adjourned.
"That old gentleman, Instigated by
the devil, went out in the public streets
and uttered the most blasphemous lan
guage," said Mr. Jones. "He takes
pilde in saying he Is an infidel and n
blasphemer, and he has become a
nuisance In this community."
Want Grading Stopped.
Attorneys Joseph O'Brien nnd M, J.
Martin began an action in equity yes
terday for Thomas Brown, William
White and Thomas Judge, of Spring
stieet, Mooslc, against Grant Brown.
John E. Williams, Thomas Crogan and
Nelson Ross,
They allege that tho defendants are
at piesent engaged In grading Spring
street, cutting down two or three feet
in front of their properties, gieatly
damaging them. They nsk that tho
grading bo stopped. Judge Kelly
granted a rule to show cause why a
preliminary Injunction should not bo
gi anted, returnable October 15,

m
PLAN TO TAX THE
TROLLEY COMPANY
Was Discussed at East Night's Meet
ing of Select Council Committee
to Confer with the Company.
The far-famed license tax oidinanco
was again taken up by select council
at a special meeting of that body held
last night. Tho whole discussion cen
teied about the question of taxing tho
Scranton Railway company.
Mr. O'Boylo called the ordinance up
on third reading and moved that coun
cil go into committee of the whole to
amend It. This was done, and then
Mr. O'Boyle offered an amendment pro
viding for a tax of $100 on each car, In
lieu of the amended clause providing
for a tax of five per cent, on the gtoss
receipts. He said that the city solicitor
told him that as the act of assembly
allows the taxing of street railway
companies ?100 per car, a tax on the
gross receipts, which would amount to
more than such a tax of $100 on nil the
cars of the company, would be illegal.
Mr. demons thought that taxing the
cais would tend to have the company
reduce the number of cais and thus
cripple its present Incomplete service.
Mr. Roche thousht that all discussion
about taxing gross receipts was idle,
inasmuch as the state reserves the
light to tax gross receipts and says
that municipalities shall tax wires,
poles and cars.
At this juncture Mr. Chittenden sug
gested a plan which seemed to moot
with the general approval of everyone
present. He thought that If a tux of
live per cent, wore placed an the gross
receipts in lieu of all other taxes, and
that if the citv would agree to use
one-half of the money thus deilved for
park Improvements, that the company
would agiee to the proposition without
demur, inasmuch as the Improving of
tho parks would be an incentive to
tiavol on its Hues. The amount to he
leallzed from taxing gross leceipts five
per cent., he said, would bo about $22,
000 a year.
It was decided to direct the license
committee to submit this proposition to
the ofliclnls of tho company and sub
mit a report at tho next regular meet
ing. Mr. Vaughan called up tho ordinance
reoiganizing the fire department and It
passed third reading without a dissent
ing vote, which was a big surprise.
Tho ordinance providing for the open
ing of Poplar street across the Dela
ware and Hudson tracks, and appoint
ing viewers to assess tho damages, was
Introduced, referred to committee and
passed on Hist nnd second readings. It
was decided to meet on Thuisday night
to pass It on third reading.
The contract for the construction of
the big sewer In the Sixth, Fifth, Fif
teenth and Eighteenth wards was
awarded to R, A. Malono, of Lancaster,
who was the lowest bidder.

TRIAL OF THE CASE
AGAINST DR. KNAPP
TESTIMONY OF THE COMMON
WEALTH CONVINCING.
Only Evidence Presented in Behalf
of the Defense Was with Roferonco
to the Good Character of tho Ac
cused Jacob Ellman Tried Before
Judge Gordon Anthony Dunleavy
Returned Guilty Jury Was Out
Twenty-four Hours Miss Mar
garet Burns Convicted.
Nearly all of yesterday was con
sumed with tho trial of tho case of Dr.
C. R. Knnpp, of Forest City, who Is
charged with unlawful relations with
Mrs. Anna E. Ames, the wife of E. F.
Ames, of that placo. The case was
called Monday afternoon before Judge
R. W. Archbald and tho large tnaln
court room wns crowded with those
anxious to hear the details of the cose.
Mrs. Ames was present, but ap
peared to be far from well. Dining tho
nfternoon she sat most ot the time
leaning over with her head resting on
tho adjoining sent. What caused her
to remain in the court room was some
thing hard to understand. She was
not wanted as a witness, nnd the story
of her relations with Dr. Knapp, as re
lated on the witness stand, must have
been anything but pleasant for her
to hear. The case was given to tho
jury about 4 o'clock and It was still
out at adjourning. There Is little rea
son to doubt that the verdict will be
unfavorable to the doctor.
When the case was resumed In the
morning, Miss Alice Price, Emll Fold
man, John Maxey, C. E. Taylor, John
Alexander, M. J. Lnngo and Benjamin
Mnxey testified that they knew Dr,
Knapp at Forest City. They met a
woman there who wns Introduced as
Dr. Knapp's wife. They believed she
was the doctors wife and ithat the two
children who lived with them wete
their children. This evidence was of
fered for the purpose of proving that
Dr. Knapp was a married man at the
time of his offense.
AS MAN AND WIFE.
Patrick Walsh, the night clerk at the
St. Charles hotel, testified that on the
night of May 2, last, a man came to
the hotel and leglstered us D. S. Davis
and wife, of Blnghamton, N. Y. He
had a woman with him, und they were
assigned to a room on the second floor.
Detective M. F. Ferrell, of Wllkes
Barro, testified to shadowing Knapp on
May 2 from 9 o'clock In the morning at
Forest City. The doctor arrived In this
citv at S o'clock that evening on the
Delaware and Hudson road and went
at once to the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western station, where he met
Mis. Ames. They talked for a few
minutes and then separated, Mrs.
Ames going to the Rudolph and the
doctor to the St. Charles. Soon after
tho doctor went to the IRudolph, got
Mis. Ames and the two went to the St.
Charles and he saw them start up the
stairs to their room.
Lieutenant John Davit, of the city
police force, testified to finding the doc
tor and Mrs. Ames together In a room
in tho St. Charles at 2 o'clock In tlie
morning of May 3. It was about fif
teen minutes after they knocked on the
door before thev got Into tho room.
Mrs. Ames' hair was down and she
was not fullv dressed. Neither was
the doctor. The bed looked as If it
had been used. Patrolman Fied Kaiius
testified that on the way to the station
house, after his an est, Dr. Knapp tnld
him he was a nviiiied man.
The only evidence offered on the part
of the defense was to show good char
acter. The following neighbors of the
accused testified that his reputation
had always been good, so far as tbev
knew: Benjamin F. Maxey, Samuel
Jennings, W. J. Maxey, M. Hlniller,
Eugene Stephens, J.'V. Smith, William
Reynolds, E. J. Wells,, W. J. Wllden
borger, Geoige Taylor, John Alexander
and Norman Brundage.
CLOSING ADDRESS.
The closing address was made to the
jury by Attorney John F. Scragg for
tho defendnnl, and Attorney Joseph
O'Bilcn for tho prosecution. In h's
chaige to the jury, Judge Archbald
said the undisputed fact that Dr.
Knapp and Mis. Ames were In the
.same room in tho St. Chailes for five
