JUDGE R. W. ARCHBALD.
After the Juiy In tho murder case
was tiled Constable Joseph Woolk
cis, of tho Eleventh ward, was
put on trial rhntged with blasphemy
by Robert Wilson, the agent of the
Municipal league, who was reviled In
an oti'ttgeoUH manner by Woelkers, It
Is alleged, one day last summer while
Mr, Wilson was cniiylng on his work
as agent of the league In South Scran
ton. Only the opening for tho common
wealth had been made nt adjourning
hour.
A Conditional Finding.
Judge Kd wards yesterday handed
down Ills finding In the case of George
II. Wlnans against the Sanderson Oil
and Specialty company. He gives a
conditional verdict for the plaintiff.
The put pose of tho suit was to com
pel the company to transfer to the
plaintiff on the books of the company
twenty shaies of the capital stock and
Issue to him n now ceitlflcato of stock
on the stirtender and cancellation of
the old one.
The defendant company bought out
the flini ol' Samlet son & Rlchart, the
consideration being "10 shuies of the
capital stock of the now compiny. Mr.
Rlchart sold twenty of his 120 shares
to Mr. AVlnans. When Mr. Wlnans
some time later sought to have the
stock transfer! ed on the books, the
company Ignored his demand, claiming
that Mr. RIchatt was Indebted to the
company and that the debt was a lien
on tho stock, or, in other words, that
the consideration lecelved by the com
pany for Mr, Rlcbatt's stock had failed
In part.
It appears that when the Sanderson
& Rlchart firm submitted its Inventory,
pi ev Ions to selling out, It omitted from
tho list of liabilities a number of un
cancelled obligations by a mistake In
bookkeeping oi something of that sort
ovet valued the assets.
Judire Ddwards finds that the Ttlch-
init stock is liable foi one-hatf of tho
omitted liabilities, or JI08.39, and dir2cts
that this must be paid by either Mr.
Richait or Mr. Wlnans befoie the com-
i pany is obliged to issue to Mr. Wlnans
the now oei tiflcate he demands.
The vsheteabouts of the other hun
ched shaies of the Richait stock does
not come to light In the evidence.

of an axe having been used was suUl
clent to wan ant the submls.sslon of the
question to the jury. Another question
raised by the court at this time was
whether, In case the jury simply be
lieved that the defendant had only dis
posed of the body that Is, had taken it
to the culvert In his wagon the de
fendant could then be convicted un
der tho ptesent Indictment.
CHARGE TO THE JURY.
The charge to tho jury was begun
at 2.30 o'clock. After giving general
instructions as to the law peitninlng
to cases of this character the court dis
cussed t'be evidence on tho part of tho
defendant, tending to show that the
death of Mlskus was due to an acci
dent on the railroad at or near the
culvei t, and that of the commonwealth
tending to show foul play.
"The delay Is one of the strong things
against this case," said the court. The
fact that the case was instituted by a
piivate prosecutor, which in connection
with the delay and other clrcumstanes
seemed to suggest that there was
something besides a mere desire to
I have justice meted out, was leferred to
as well as the ctltlleuitics ot inorougn
investigation owing to tho fact that
the tiaities dltectly interested were all
foh igners.
"Theie Is veiy little evidence, in my
mind, to sustain a veidict of murder
of the Hist degiee," said the court. If
Goidon was to be believed the killing
was, appaiently, the result of a quar
lel, and in this view of the case, the
(Hint! would be voluntaiy manslaugh
ter. If the juiy believed that the de
fendant only assisted in taking away
the body be would then be guilty as an
"aecessoiy after the fact." Should this
be the view taken by the jury the court
instructed them to leturn a special
Uncling to that effect. The evidence on
both sides was levlewed in detail and
the case given to the juiy at 4 o'clock.
RETIRED AT 10 O'CLOCK.
The juiy retlied at 10 o'clock, but
nothing leaked out as to whether or
not they had ugieed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wonder how many pages
of a good newspaper it would
require to catalogue all the
good things there are here in
the gift giving line?
Choosing here is easy,
however, for everything is
arranged to your conveni
ence. We don't mind helping
you with the choosing, if you
wish it.
There's nothing but what's
here, that ought to be here.
Nothing but what we can say
to you frankly and candidly:
"It's the best we know of for
the money,"
Come and "look." Costs
nothing; very satisfying, very
appetizing, especially if you've
presents to make and your
thinker won't work.
