INJUNCTION
IS DISSOLVED
OLD FOUCIE RAILWAY FRAN
CHISE LEGALLY GRANTED.
It Wbb Alleged in the Dill of Com
plaint in the Equity Proceedings
That the Franchise Was Procured
Fraudulently and Corruptly by
Means of Bribes and Gifts Distrib
uted to tho Councllmon of Old
Forge In His Opinion Judge Ed
wards Divides tho Costs.
Judge II. M, Kdwnrds yesterday
handed down nn opinion In the equity
cane of Charles J. Keogh and others,
piopcrty owners of Old Forge, against
tho l'lttston and Hcranton Street Hall
way company. Tho purpose was to pie
vent the company from operating a
trolley line through Old Forge, It being
alleged thnt the franchise was obtained
from tho councils by bribery. The
criminal charge of bribery against Gen
eral Manager Sllllman of tho Scranton
Hallway company, tried some months
ago and resulting In an acquittal, was
an outgrowth of this same transaction.
Iho opinion of Judge lid wards follows:
Tho plaintiffs' bill of complaint attacks
UIO tight of tho defendant rnmnnnv tn
construct mid operate a street railway
in tho borough of Old Forge, Lackawanna'
.uuiiiy. several gioumls of attack are
set forth in the' bill, but the rvldcnco on
the final heating relates malnlv to tho
charge that the ordlnnnco giving the com
pany tho authority to construct tho ald
street railway was procured fraudulently
and corruptly by means of bribes and
guts distributed to tho councllmen of the
borough of Old Forgo by tho agents of
tho.tlefcndant company,
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO AMKND.
After tho evidence on both sides wni
closed, plaintiffs' counsel moved to amend
the bill and tho record of the caso by
adding tho name of the Scranton Rail
way company as n. defendant, and by in
cluding the ordinance of August 2Sth,
1S0S. Defendant objected and wo held tho
motion under advisement, reserving our
ruling. The petition praying for tho
amendment was not supported by nfudn
vit nor was there accompanying it, cither
orally or In writing, any explanation of
tho delay In presenting It, tho subject
matter of tho amendment being evidently
known to the plaintiffs' counsel since 1809,
especially after the several hearings on
tho rulo to continue tho preliminary In
junction, had before tho Into Judge Gun
stcr. Under the equity rules anil under
all tho decisions, tho motion 'for tho
amendment was too late and was objec
tionable also because It was not sup
ported by affidavit.
But, subsequently, at tho argument of
the case before me, tho argument having
been postponed for tho convenience of
court and counsel, defendant's counsel
agreed that the bill bo amended so as to
cover and include the ordinance of Au
gust 2S, ISDfl, although still objecting to
the addition of the Scranton Railway
company as defendant. This agreement.
In my judgment, amounted to a waiver
of any Informality In tho petition to
amend, ns well as of lheilelay in pre
senting It. I am, therefore, disposed to
allow the amendment as prayed for. And
thl action Is highly desirable In this
eas-c, because It brings upon tho record
tho whole subject of controversy, as well
as all tho parties in Interest. An excep
tion to this ruling Is hero noted for tho
defendant.
FINDINGS OF FACT.
Counsel on both sides havo presented
numerous requests for findings of fact. 1
shall answer each request specifically In
tho pioper place. It will not bo neces
sary, therefore, to repeat hero all tho
details net forth In tho lequests and in
the answers thereto. It may bo stated in
a broad and general way that ono speci
fic finding of fact controls and determines
tho controversy between tho parties to
this case. Was the passage of the second
ordlnnnco, tho ordinance of August 2Sth,
1S30, procured through bribery? All other
questions In the case uro Incidental to
this main Inquiry.
1. The first ordinance giving the Pitts
ton and Scranton Street Railway com
pany the right to construct a street l all
way In tho borough of Old Forgo was
passed Juno u, 1830. This Is tho ordinance
attacked In plaintiffs' bill. While tho or
dinance was pending in tho council, tho
company's agent dlstilbuted pusses to nil
the councllmen. Tho passes were books,
each containing tickets for ono hundred
five-cent lldes. After tho passage of the
ordlnnnco and while tho defendant com
pany, through its agents, was preparing
to build tho road, tho plaintiffs, on July
IS, filed their bill In this caso and secured
a preliminary Injunction restraining tho
defendant from proceeding with tho con
struction of the railway. At tho hearing
of the rulo to contlnuo tho preliminary
Injunction beforo Judgo Gunster, the evi
dence as to the dlstilbutlon of tho passes
to the councllmen was substantially the
same as at tho final hearing. Judgo
Gunster held that tho giving of the
pasess to tho councllmen, under the cir
cumstances, was sulllclcnt proof of brib
ery to Invalidate tho ordinance, and he
therefore continued tho Injunction. I
tnko tho famo view of the matter as my
lato learned colleague did, and I adopt
his finding, which was In substaneo that,
me ordinance or juno d. iioo, was pro
cured through corrupt means. Rut It is
Immateiial now what tho Influences weio
that secured the passage of tho ordlnnnco
In question, beeuuso It was repealed by
tho council on August II, 1SO0, nnd tho
defendant company acquiesced In tho ac
tion of council repealing tho ordlnnnco by
presenting tho subsequent ordlnnnco of
August 2S, 1S00, to Judgo Gunster, nnd
abking for a moillllcntlou of tho Injunc
tion, on tho ground that this second or
dinance was frco from all taint of bil
bory. Thcieforo tho ordinance of Juno S
Is a dead letter, from whichever point of
view It may bo considered.
Till; ORD1NANCK.
2. This bilngs us to tho consideration
of the ordinance of August 28, 1890, here
inafter, fur convenience, called tho sec
ond ordinance. It was under thlH ordi
nance tho street railway was constructed,
Tho plaintiffs claim that tho second ordl
nnnco U void, like tho tlrbt and for tho
same icihon: that tho two ordinances aie
substantially alike; that they wero passed
lly tho Kimo coimcllmou; that tho In
fluences which bccurcd tho pubsago of tho
first ordinance continued to nperato In
connection with tho second, and that the
repcul of ono ordinance and tho subse
quent passage of another was only a sub
terfuge. To tubttantlato tho plaintiffs'
contention, certain ovldeuco has been of.
fercd .which will now bo considered.
A. Tho distribution of tho free passes
to thp uiimcllmon while tho ilrst ordi
nanco was pending. It appears thnt uf
ter Judgo Gunster condemned this piap.
tlce, tho passes wero called In by the
company uml sin rendered by tho coun
cllmen when the tickets bad only been
partly used. This wus douu mio time
bcfoio tho Introduction of tho second or
dinance. U. Tho paymept of fifty dollars to
Councilman Kilcoyno. This money was
paid by P. W, Gallagher, claim ugent of
tho Hcrapton Railway company. It Is
not clear when this money wus paid,
Kilcoyno suys It was paid after tho pub.
eago of tho second ordinance, P. W, Gal
lagher is tho main witness upon whom
the plaintiffs rely to prove tho payment
of money to councllmen for tho puipoto
of Influencing their official action In con
nection wth the mdinance. Hut Galla
gher himself testifies that tho money wus
paid for expenses. Gallagher says: "1

kindly Interest of yourself and faculty, and nssttre you of
my intentions to have her contlnuo under your tuition,
Yours truly, J. H. BISBINa.

down there on ono occasion. I had con
siderable money In my clothes, nnd I had
to go through tho country down thcio
looking for tho secretary, and bo came
with mo, and at vnrlous times ho came up
to Seianton, hut nt no time was thcio
any undcrtnnd!ng thut he was to receive
any money for his vote. Mr. Kilcoyno
told mo that his expenses wero t.'0. I
said, 'They arc very small, Tom, nnd I
don't think Sllllman will have any hesi
tation at all In paying them.' " .Kilcoyno
also testifies to tho samo effect.
Till: AVITNESS FEES.
C The payment of witness foes to
couiiellmcu. Several of tho councllmen
received from tho agent of tho defend
ant each fifteen dollars witness fees nnd
mileage, five dollars nt ono tlmo nnd ten
dollars nt another time. They attended
several hearings, tho number of days
varying, accoullng to the testimony, from
four or five to fifteen days. It appeals
that this money was pnld before the first
ordinance was declared Illegal. There Is
no evidence connecting the payment of
said witness fees with tho action of tho
councllmen In their official capacity.
D. The alleged payment by P. AV. Gal
lagher of the sum of five hundred dollars
to three councllmen beforo tho passage
of the flr.'t ordinance. Tho testimony of
P. AV. Gallagher Is tho only evidence In
the case of a direct bribe paid to tho
councllmen. This testimony Is given
without equivocation. The witness tes
tifies that ho not only paid money to tho
councllmen In order to secure their votes
for tho ordinance, but that he received
the money from Mr. Slllmnn, tho mana
ger of the Scranton Railway company,
to bo used corruptly. What docs the evi
dence show as to this posltlvo chargo of
'bribery? In considering this evidence. It
must not bo forgotten thnt the answer
positively denies the allegation of bri
bery as set forth in tho plaintiffs' bill,
and that In consequence of this respon
sive answer the law requires a certain
standard of proof from tho plaintiffs. But
apart from this, the three councllmen In
volved emphatically deny tho bribery,
and so does Mr. Sllllman, the manager
of tho Scranton Railway company. It is
a caso of four witnesses against one.
AVbntever may bo said as to the degreo
of proof necessary to sustain plaintiffs'
allegation of bribery, It is certain that It
would bo unsafe to find that the allega
tion Is true when It is so emphatically
denied, ns -well as so Inadequately proven.
I therefore find that the plaintiffs hac
failed In their contention charging brib
ery, so far as the passage of the second
ordinance U concerned, and thnt the tes
timony of P. AV. Gallagher and all tho
circumstances disclosed by the' evidence,
are insufficient to warrant n finding thnt
tho sum of five hundred dollars was paid
to Influence the olficlal action of the
councllmen In conenctlon with cither or
dinance. FREE PASSES.
n. As to tho free passes and tho payment
of witness fees referred to in the second
finding and tho bearing these matters
have on the second ordinance, I adopt
the finding of Judge Gunster in hU opin
ion modifying the Injunction, wherein ho
suys:
"As soon as the giving of passes by the
company, nnd the acceptance thereof by
members of tho borough council had
been declared illegal and Improper, tho
councllmen who had passes Immediately
surrendered them to ,tbo company, and.
ns far as I can judge, tho ordlnnnco of
August 2S, 1899, was Introduced and passed
because a majority of the borough coun
cil honestly thought It should bo done for
the benenllt of tho community. Tho fact
that they wero paid their witness fees
and expenses at the former hearing by
the agent of tho company, does not ap
pear to have anything to do with this
ordinance. That was all dune In con
nection with tho first ordinance, and was
done beforo that ordinance was declared
Illegal. I have examined tho testimony
carefully, and while the councllmen who
voted for tho present ordinance are the
snmo councllmen who voted for tho first
one, I cannot find that their votes In the
present caso wero cast from Improper
motives or procured by Improper menns."
4. It may bo well said that many sus
picious circumstances nro disclosed by
the evidence, and thnt soma things have
been done which deserve condemnation.
The employment of a councilman to do
work In itself legitimate, when ho Is in
n position to grant official favors in re
turn, opens tho .door to criticism and sus
picion; tho payment of fees to councll
mon who nro witnesses, in excess of the
amount allowed by law; donations to
churches, under tho circumstances the
donations wero made, or attempted to ho
made, by tho defendant's agents In tlilu
case these are matters that thould bo
avoided. They arn some of tho circum
stances relied upon by the plaintiffs to
corroborate tho testimony of P. AV. Gnl
lagher In tho chargo of direct bribery
contained In his testimony. Nevertheless,
tho most that can bo said about these
circumstances Is that they tend to create
suspicion and doubt. As a general con
clusion of fact, based upon u considera
tion of all tho evidence, I find that it has
not been proven that tho passage of tho
ordlnnnco of August 2S, 1899, by tho coun
cil of tho borough of Old Forge, was pro
cured by bribery or uny other unlawful
means,
CONCLUSIONS OF LAAV.
Thero arn no legal questions Involved
that require discussion. I find:
J, That tho ordinance of Juno 5, 1899,
known as tho first ordinance, Is Invalid,
,:, That tho oidlnauco of August 28, 1899,
k'pown as tho tecum! ordinance, has not
been successfully attacked, and Is valid
and Is binding upon tho boiough of Old
Forge.
3. That plaintiffs' bill of complaint
should bo dismissed uud thu Injunction
dissolved,
After considering the plaintiffs' nnd
defendant's conclusions for findings of
law and fact, tho opinion closes with
the following decree;
Now, July IS, 190.', this cause having
been heard at a regular term of equity
court, and having been nrgucd by coun
sel, t Is ordered, adjudged nnd dcCieed
that tho plaintiffs' bill of complaint be
