was suggested as a graceful way of
distributing the bonus and Mr. Gal
lagher was entrusted with the delivery
of the money. One of the pastors will
testify to the receipt of the money.
The other declares he refused it. The
company did not know of bis refusal
until ltmg afterwards.
The story was told In detail In the
equity case brought by Mr. Itopp to
annul the franchise 011 the ground ot
fraud. Judge (lunster annulled the
franchise because of the uncontradicted
testimony that pass books were given
the couiiLilmen, The pass books were
taken up and an ordinance similar to
the original one was passed. Pro
ceedings to nntiul this second franchise
are now pending,
INDICTMENT ATTACHED.
All of yesterday morning was taken
up with an unsuccesfful effort to de
feat the indictment on a demurrer
based on the same ground taken In the
motion to tjunsh the Indictment made
at a previous term before Judge Ed
wards, iind refused,
The afternoon was devoted to the
selection of a Jury and the opening ad
dress of Mr, Hannah. The jurors select
ed are;
John Cleiaud, merchant, Scranton.
Matthew Cawliy, superintendent,
Scranton.
AVIlllam M. Fowler, clerk, Scranton,
John D, Hughes, bookkeeper, .Seran
tou. Jacob S. Kirkpatiiek, clerk, Scran
ton. Harry Palmer, cleric, Scranton.
William T. Peel, engineer, Carbon
dale, Aaron P. Huberts, timekeeper, Scran
ton, Itev. A. D. Hauler, clegynuiu, .Scran
ton. Daniel Uegun, miner, Vandllng.
John A. Hiveiiberg, farmer, Green
field. William J. AVIIIIains, mason, Scran
ton. '
One of tlio principal contentions of
the defense will be that the Jury can
not convict, under the law, on the
uncorroborated evidence of one claim
ing to bo an accomplice. Tlie law does
not say they can pot convict on tills
testimony, but tho supnuu' court has
declared that it Is the duty of the judge
to cuutlon tho Jury to be slow in con
victing on such testimony.
