B9 v l' N 1 1 r V GRIER JURY NOT AGREED Concluded from l'ge 3.J their time In leisure, If they paw fit, arc cngiiBCd In reforming those vicious, unlawful uots eolely for the general welfare. After a defense of the detectives and commendation for thslr cleverness, Mr. Torrey proceeded to ko over the list of the defendant's witnesses and teh .wny ho arraigned some of them was bitter Indeed. When It camo to Attorney McCllnley's testimony, Mr. Torrey said: "It amounts to nothing, nrler was safe In giving It to Mo fJlttlcy for what he Buld was sacred nncl the law could not compel Mr. McOlnley to tell what! wns given. Ills evidence counts for nought. Mr. Oder's hank account was dwelt upon at length by Mr. Torrey and It was pointed out' as significant that the store which Mr. drier purchased n Jialf-lntorest In was Inventoried ut $2,800. After rovlowlng tho testimony and fitting it In with remarkable adroit, ness to the theory of the (prosecution, Mr. Torrey pointed out that the money was taken with a corrupt motive nnd It tho jury believed this it would have to convict tho defendant. Tho charge of Judge Kdwnrds was one of the best ever delivered In u criminal case In this county. It was as follows: Jtinni: umvAniw rn.imi:.

The section of the act of assembly defining- the offence was read by the Judge, after which lie continued: You notice that Hie terms of tlie scrlion I liae read aic coinpii'liciiMic in their character, . rinbr.it ing nlmunt etcry possible phase of tlie crime de.-enbed in it wliirli the mind of man ran conceive.

Having i.illed jour atlinlion In the act of assembly 1 will now consider tho indictment, 'll'o iiidiclmint in this i.iv contains two loiints.

Tlie seioucl count (haigis lh.it the sime aiiiouul, forty doll.us, was solhiii'd mid uirivrd by the defend ml, not for hlm-elf, but foi some other loimiilmcn, with the same cm nipt purpose. If the evidence ulUties jou bejond n reasonable doubt, tint Hie defendant imlvcil Hie sum of forly dollais for himself, for the puipo.e I have staled, lie tuij be lonvlttcd on I he llisl toiint uf the In iliiliiiiul, 'I IIU riJIITV JiOI.I.AItS. If, on the other hind, jou find that he re ceived or solitlted Hie foily dollais for some nHiir coiiniilman, for tlie purpo-u 1 hive staled, and not for lunt-.ell, the difcndant may be ion dieted on the eioud toiinl m Hie indictment, If ho solicited or leeelved thu foily dollais nienlioiiiil, for himself and for other t-aLin il ium for the puipo.se- of iiilliiencing his niuUf,lielr ofliiial action, lie may lie innvlilul on bolh counts of the Indictment, or in manner and f en in ns he Minds indicted. If ho iccelved Hie caiil sum of money for Hie purpose staled by him, mid nut for a coirupt (impose, lie should bo acquitted, I have now- explained In jou Hie indictment nlid Hie law upon which It is based. before proceeding to lomidcr the evidence I vunt to icfer In u few picliinlniiy questions whkli are at tho ilucslihold of this case, The evidence on behalf of the couuiionvvealth, in pail, is to be found in the testimony of the detectives. It is claimed on the part of the roinmnnvvcallli that for somci time past, it was rumored on the itieets and charged in the public press that legislation in favor of certain corporations, by which valuable franchises were secured, was obtained from the councils of tho city of Bcranton by corrupt methods, and that in order to find out tho liutli of these cluugca nn association was foimed Icnmvn as the Munici pal League, of vvhlili the iirosetutor in this rase and other citizens of Scranton are mem bers. I think It Is proper for me to stale, in this connection, that such organizations aro to be commended and not condemned. Citizens of a municipality have the right to watch their public clllcials, and it they believe them to be corrupt and can support their belief with farts, they have a right to associate together, and tn use proper and legitimate means to prevent corrup tion In tho councils or elsewhere, The com monwealth says, that in order to accomplish this purpose, the league was formed, and the services ol detectives were secured. LICENSE OnUIN'AN'CK. Another tact which it connected with what I have stated is that there was a license ordinance before the councils, a section of which taxed tho gross receipts of the Scrunton Hallway com pany, known also as the Scranton Traction com pany, at three, four and five per cent, for dif ferent jears. before the organization of the new councils on the first Monday of April of this year, the ordinance failed to pus. A new ordinance was introduced in the com ftvvB council imposing ths tune tax e the litcct railway company. This ordinance, It II claimed by the commonwealth, furnished the opportun ity which was aclced upon by the Municipal League to Ascertain whether any members ot the Scranton city councils were or wcf not cor rupt nnd the proposition was made to tho de fendant anil other couuellmcn, If you believe the evidence of the commonwealth to rcduco tho tax from three, four and lite per rent, to one per cent, by an amendment to the ordinance, and It la claimed that in prcliiff this propo sition the agents of the league were met with demand (or money from the defendant and others. I have referred to these mailers becauso they lead us naturally to a consideration and dis cussion ot the evidence. I Hull not attempt to go over In detail the tftlmony In the case. I gather, from my observation of your conduct during tho trial, that jou have paid close atten tion lo the testimony on both sides. It Is jour duty to consider all the evidence. You are the sole judges of the tacts. Nevertheless, It la my duty to assist Jou, at far as II Is in my powir, by classifying the evidence, bringing together the testimony relating lo each salient feature of the case, Instructing you as to the relevancy nf portions of the testimony to certain phases of the Issue before you, and by Informing j-ou nf certain principles of law which should guide jou lit considering and weighing the evidence ml In judging ot the credibility of the wit nesses. Till! CI'.NTRAL KHATUHE. All the evidence Is lo be considered by yoij In Its relation to the central feature of Hie rase, vl,, the motive which animated the defendant when he received the forty dollars from the witness Harris) Was his purpose corrupt or was It on honest one? Did he solicit and receive the money to Influence his olllclal action os a councilman, or was It obtained by him for the purpose of obtaining evidence ngalnst Harris so as tci piosccule him for bribery? These are questions that you must answer for yourselves. After a most Impartial review of the testimony for the commonwealth and defense, thu judge continued his charge as follows: I have now briefly but In substance gone over the testimony of the defense in relation to the transactions between the defendant ami the wit ness Harris, and as I have already stated tn jou the question for j-our determination is largely If not altogether a question of motive. Did the defendant when he admittedly received the money from Harris receive it for an honest purpose or for a coirupt one? Was It received for the purpose of entrapping Harris and prosecuting him for bribery or was It received in further ance of a corrupt Fcheme lo secure money for himself and oilier counellmen for his unci their otllel.il favor? In order to judge rightly as to this question jou mu-t consider some of the tads nnd tlrciimstances of the case so far as they are in evidence and determine what the actual motive of the defendant was. As nn important circumstance in this case j-our attention has been called to the letter produced by the defendant, in which Harris requested him to call at the hotel. The defendant says it Is the only letter he received from Harris. The lime when this letter was written and the tune It was received by the defendant have a mateilal bearing in connection with the pay ment of tlie forly dollars. The defendant snjri he found the letter in bis house on the evening nf M-iy S, and that he mentioned the fact that he handed such letter to several witnesses on May f, while on his way to keep the appointment. DATC Ol' TUG LETTKIl. If this letter was not wiitten and sent until May II, it would lie, of couise, impossible for the defendant lo have hhovvn the letter to nnj--body. You probably recall the evidence ns to the letter. The defendant sajs he wus In pos session of it on May 0. He tells others on that diy tint he had such n letter. I don't think the other people mw the letter so as lo know its contents. Hauls and Whitney both testify thai I he letter was i-ent on May 11, and that this fact was icported to the agency ill New York at the time. Mr. Itecis testifies thai In- leeched from Now Yoik n copy of a icpoit a few dajs after M.i.v 11. .showing that the letter was written on Miy II and not on May V. You have heaul the testimony on this point. If you believe thai this letter was. not sent until May 11, then j on cannot help coming to the conclusion tint the defendant is cither mis taken or is not telling the liutli, and that the asseitinn of his pinpose in going lo Harris' room on Ma- 0 is seriouslj' discredited. If on the other bind, jou believe the letter was sent on May S, then it may he consideied by j'ou as a coiroboration of Hie defend int. I now refer to tho alleged pajment of the fourteen one hunched dollar bills on May 11. The defendant denies this transaction. You heard the testimony of Harris, Whitney and An derson on this point. You must remember that wo an- not trying the defendant for leeching the !, 400, but if you believe that the defendant took this hum of money fiom Harris on Miy 11, jou have a right to consider this fact in judging of his motive in taking the forty dollars on May a. Kveiy man is judged by his acts, by his conduct. If he took the $1,400 and kept it without pioilucing it as he did Hie forty dol lars, it is Important evidence as to the intention of Hie defendant in taking the forty elollars. It is,dillleiilt to reconcile the existence of an hon est inutile on May 9, and a coirupt one on M ly 11. If jou believe that Hie defendant did not receive the 91,4110, jou cannot use this transaction against him in this cao RELATIONS WITH HAIUtlS. Your attention is called also tn Hjo conduit of the defendant in icl.itlon with Hauls and in lel.ition to his assellloii under oath tli.it his attlons were honest and his motive not corrupt. The commonwealth edalms that (ho conduct of the defendant has been Inconsistent Willi his cunli-ntiiin that he was Indignant when he was eiffcied money nnd that ho took the forty dollars for the purpose of prosecuting Harris for bribery. If tliat was his pinpose, say lliej-, why did he not arrest llairis? Why elld he not expose the attempt at biibery In the councils, or to the pioper officials? Why did he not lodge an information before a magistrate ami cause tho an eit of llairis? Ile sajs that be submitted Hie matter to his attorney and ,vou heard tho testimony nn this point. The defendant saj-s his attorney told him tn gel more evidence, to lning certain witnesses, naming them, to the ofllce. The defendant sajs he did not try lo get ninie evidence, that lie made no particular rtTnit in Hut direction and that Harris was not aiiesleel. Whatever the reason was, you luve a light lo consider the defendant's lalliuc to piiiseciite Han is in judging of the honesty of his uintivrx in his traii-ai'lious villi Hauls. You must consider tho d, fondant's explanation also, in discns-liii,' tills point. Vim have a unlit al-n to consider lhe oflltial action of the defendant 111 connection with the ordinance I have refouid to. He voted in tavor ol the iriliutioii ot the tu' on the Mi ret railway compiiij-. Did he do this fiom an honest convic tion, nr was it the u-siilt of baigaln and Kile? Consider the evidence nn both sides in consider ing this point and ghn II its pi ope r weight. Hofercnie has also been uiadn to the defend ant's bank deposits beginning .Ian. 'J, with n deposit of $-o and the subsequent deposits as trstiuVcl In, You heaul Hie explanation of the d"fuid.int as to his earnings, his accumulation of money unci his living expenses, Hefore you can use these deposit to the detriment of the defendant or to his illscidlt, jou must be satis lied that they weie, at least In part, the pro ceeds of rnriiiption In connection with his offi cial conduct and this infeiencc must bo based upon facts in the evidence, CIIAUACTEIl OP M0T1VK. These are some ot the facts and cireuinstantes which may throw some light upon tlie centi.it point in the case. You have a right to consider any other facts which aie based upon pioper testimonj-, although not referred" to by me. I state generally that as a' help to asceilain tho motive of a ,iiiau in connection with a particular act you have a right lo scrutinize hU conduct subsequent to (lie act so as to determine thu character ot the motive. I will now give you some instructions as to the credibility of witnesses. The juiy am the sole Judges of their credibility. In weighing the testimony of vvitncs.sc the jury may consider tlie conduct of a witness upon the stand, the interest ho may have in the case at a party, the relation of tlie witness, fiiendly or other wise, tn the parties concerned, and the charac ter of the witness himself, The purpose in view li to ascertain the truth. Most of the testimony on bchalt of the com monwealth comes from the detectives. Some comment has been' made upon this fact. In Judging of the credibility of the detectives as witnesses you have a right to consider the nature of the crime which they arc investigating, bribery is a crime that is committed in secret, behind closed doors, and not in the presence of witnesses. To ferret out this crime detectho service U not improper. If a detective enters into communication with an official (or the purpose of ascertaining whether or not lie is corrupt and the detective 'does toll without criminal intent on bis part and acta tluoughout with this original purpose, he cannot be regarded as on accomplice and hl testimony Is to bo treated Just as the testimony of any other witness, and you should give It such weight as Jou believe It is entitled to and Judge It by the rules norrnlng the ircdlblllty of witnesses. It Is claimed that Harris Is a briber, This would bo true If ho associated with the defend ant and others with a criminal Intent and not (or the purposo of delecting corruption. The (act that a pirty la deceived by n detective Into a violation of law Is no Justification (or the of fence. Tho question Is! Did tho defendant so licit and receive the money lo Influence, his olllclal action? Nevertheless the credibility of the detectives is for you. wi:iin tiihy iiisciti:i)tTi:i). The commonwealth also ilalms that several of the witnesses sworn tor the defense have been discredited by certain facta 'ellsrloscel by the testimony, particularly tho counellnianlu wit nesses, Coleman, Cojnc nnd Calpln. Coleman and Coyne were asked upon the witness stand whether at any time they bad solicited and re ceived money from tho witness Harris to In fluentc their olllclal action ns counellmen. This they ilenlcd. You heard the testimony In con tradiction of their denial. Coleman, ncconling to the testimony of Harris, iccelved tfin onto and $50 at another time, nnd Coyne, as early as March 21 received $100, and arrangements were made with Cojnc to pay him $1,400 for use In the select council. You have heard Calpin'a testimony In which he saj-s that he mode no intimation to Harris that he wanted money and you heard Ihrrls' testimony that on May V, Calpln mid that lie would not vole to reduce the tax until his suit was settled, nnd that It would cost the com pany more than $200. It Is for you to consider this testimony In Its bearing upon the credi bility of Ihese witnesses. If you believe that they solicited nnd received the money as testi fied by Harris, then jou would have a right tn conclude that such conduct is not to their credit as witnesses, lint if 'you believe the witnesses themselves, that they were not gtilltj'of sucb. corrupt practices, j-ou should not use It against them. Many witnesses have been sworn to testify to the good reputation for chararter of the de fendant previous to his arrest in this case. Good character or reputation is a substantive fact and must be proven like any other fact In the case. The terms character and reputation are sometimes interchangeably used, but speak ing stilctly, character consists of those qualities which distinguish one man from another, while reputation is the opinion of others with regard to those qualities, or in other worels character is what a man actually is, and reputation Is that which his neighbors and the people believe htm to be. MATTER OF REPUTATION". You must consider the evidence on this point and first ascertain whether the defendant lias proven u good leputatlon, especially in his offi cial cliai.icter. Tills depends to some extent on Hie knowleilge the witnesses for character have of his official acts and conduct. If you arc sat isfied lh.it be has pioven a good leputatlon j-ou have a right to consider it with the other ci elencc in the tase in determining the guilt or innocence of this defendant. Hood character inaj- of itself bj- the creation of a reasonable doubt produce an acquittal. If his good char acter or reputation has not been pioven lo j-otu- satisfaction In jour judgment, then, of coiiise, it lias no place In this case. If it has, jou must give it the weight that 1 have indi cated. I The case is now in your bands. The responsl-bllitj- of a erdict rests upon jou. The import ance of the case, both to the defendant and the commiinltj' has been extcnshclj- commented upon in jour hearing. Let your erdict be such ns will s.ilNfj- jour own coiistlenccs and bo in accordince with tlie law and the evidence. If j'ou think tills defendant should be acquitted saj- so by jour verdict; If ,vou believe that he is gaiiltj" it will be jour duty to so icturn him. If j-ou acquit liim j'ou Ime to dispose of the costs. If jou eonviel liim on cither count of the indictment jou have nothing lo say on that question. In connection with his charge the judge passed upon n number of law points presented by the defense. Dr. Jnincs' Headache) Powders. HEADACHE?
