WAS SUGGESTED
BY LOCAL CASE
ORIGIN OP ONE OF THE PRO
POSED AMENDMENTS.
Was Drafted by Judge Archbald to
Relieve a Difficulty in Criminal
Proceedure Proposes to Make It
Possible to Try a Man for Second
Degree Murder If When on Trial
for First Degree Murder the Jury
Disagrees Discharge of a Jury
Will Not Work an Acquittal.
In the Philadelphia Press, of recent
date, appeared tho following editorial:
The Init legislature, which did much
evil, passed omc noteworthy monsuros
which wcro so overshadowed by ripper
mid kindred bills that thoy attracted I It
tlo attention. The two constitutional
nmendments now being advertised aro of
this character. They propose Important
changes hi our fundamental law, but
neither when In the legislature nor slnco
have they enlisted the Intelligent Interest
of tho people.
One proposes to cure n defect In crimi
nal practice that somo Judges have en
deavored to euro for themselves, but
which still remulnn as an Impediment In
the path of Justice. Tho bill of rights
says that "no person for the same of
fense shall be twice put In Jeopardy of
llfo or limb." This Is a very ancient prin
ciple, as It's phraseology Indicates, ns no
one Is now In peril of limb. Wo have
passed the era of cropping cars, splitting
noses and cutting off hands. AVe still de
mand a life for a life, but Insist that
one accused of murder shall not be tried
repeatedly. If lie is acquitted on the llrst
trial ho must not a second time ho put In
Jeopardy.
I But when does tho Jeopardy begin?
Tho courts have held that as oon as a
person Is put on trial before a compe
tent court and the Jury Is sworn, the de
fendant Is In Jeopardy. If the Jury Is
discharged for inability to agree It re
leases the prisoner In this state ns com
pletely as an acquittal. If tho trial Is In
terrupted by some accident, ns the Illness
of a juror or the judge or the absence o
the witnesses, and the jury Is discharged,
the old rule of jeopardy Is that It re
leases the prisoner, slnco he has been In
jeopardy. In this state the discharge of
a jury before verdict for some Imperative
reason docs not relieve the prlsonor from
undergoing a .second trial. This Is com
mon sense, but there Is room to doubt
that It is common law. Somebody given
to reflection thought It was desirable to
incorporate this rational principle In tho
very text of the constitution. The legis
lature acquiesced probably without car
lug a penny about it, and if Its successor
taken tho same view a popular vote will
bo had upon it In 190X
The amendment proposed In this sub
ject, If adopted, will make the constitu
tion read: "No person shall for the
same offense be twice put In Jeopardy of
life or limb, but a discharge of the jury
for failure to agree or other necessary
cause shall not work nn acquittal." This
rule has become by Judge-made law th
prevailing rule of procedure in most of
the states, but as It has never been tho
established rule In Pennsylvania, the pro
posed amendment Is a desirable one and
ought to be adopted.
THE HILL, OF RIGHTS.
As the bill of rights now stands, it
provides that: "No person for tho
same offense shall be twice 'put in
jeopardy of llfo or Hint)." In a case of
murder this has been very strictly con
strued by the Supreme court. Although
It Is held in ordinary criminal cases
where there is in reality the same
jeopardy as In the case of murder, that
the court may In Its discretion dis
charge the jury from the consideration
of the case, If they cannot agree upon
a verdict, yet where the indictment Is
for murder, this cannot be done, and
it has been decided in several cases
that if It is, It works an acquittal of
the whole charge.
This is somewhat ancient law, hav
ing been llrst laid down in n very long
and learned opinion In the case of Com
monwealth vs. Cook, 6 Sergeant &
Itawle, 577.
It is recognized In that and other
cases following It that a Jury cannot
be kept together until they agree at
nil hazards, so that If one fall sick or
go insane or bo otherwise Incapacitat
ed, such u state of events!, has arisen
as will warrant the court from reliev
ing the jury from the disposition of
tho cnFP.
The distinction which is made, how
ever, Is that these present matters of
absolute necessity, whereas u disagree
ment does not. A verdict, however,
arrived at by the coercive process of
keeping the jury together until they
agree, whether they can or not, how
ever It may seem to the judicial mind,
strikes that of the ordinary man and
juror as hardly promoting justice,
But as the matter stands today, It
Is the law, and, as the Supreme court
has made the constitution read' that
way, the only remedy Is by amending
It to read another way. It Is there
fore proposed to change this part of
the bill of rights so as to declare that:
"No person shall for the same offense
be twice put In jeopardy of life or limb,
but a discharge of the Jury for failure
to ngree, or other necessary cause,
shall not woik an acquittal."
TWO LOCAL CASES.
This community has In two Instances
at least had the prevailing view of the
low forced upon It to Its detriment,
however much the defendants who es
cuped punishment by means of It, muy
think otherwise. In the case of Com
monwealth vs. Thomas Durnan, some
fifteen or sixteen years ago, a very ag
gravated homicide was committed,
with respect to which It was the sense
of very many In tho community thnt
a capital offense had been committed.
Much to the surprise, however, of those
who had heard the case, a verdict of
murder In the second degree only was
returned. It subsequently transpired
that this verdict was brought about
by two of the Jury who would not
agree to any higher verdict, and the
rest were obliged to come to It, be
cause, upon'thelr reporting to the court
that they could not ngree, ns they at
first did, they were charged that they
must do so 'or It would work an ac
quittal. Subsequently the ease of the Com
monwealth vs. Fitzpa trick, et til., was
tried In this county. It was for the
killing of James W. Balrd, of Oakford
court. The llrst time the case came
up, the Jury reported that they could
not possibly agree, They were sent
buck, however, with the Instruction
that they must, and were kept together
until the lust day of the term, when,
having again leported their Inability to
reach a verdict, they were discharged,
me court reeling justified notwith
standing the decisions, because the
end of the term had come. At the next
term the case wus again called, and
the defendants pleaded that they had
been in former Jeopardy and were
therefore not again liable. There were
two counts In tho Indictment, one for
murder and the other for voluntary
manslaughter, and the district uttor-

ney announced that ho was satisfied
not to press for it conviction of mur
der In either degree. Relieved of this
feature the case merely stood as a
charge of voluntary manslaughter, and
It was earnestly contended thnt the
rule laid down by the Supreme court
In the cases referred to, did not apply.
DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED.
It was held otherwise by Judge Hand
L however, und the defendants were dis
charged.
From this an appeal wns taken, Judge
Kdwards us district attorney repre
senting the commonwealth, and Judge
Gunster, who was then nt the bar, the
defendants. The Supreme court, while
doubting the wisdom of tho constitu
tional provision In ts existing form,
felt constrained by the construction
which had been given to It by previous
decisions, und the judgment of Judge
Hand was affirmed.
The doubt so expressed by the Su
preme court, and tho local result ex
perienced In the two cases referred to,
may be said to have prompted the
amendment proposed. It was drawn
up last winter by Judge Archbald, and
introduced Into the legislature by Sen
ator Fox, of Hurrisburg, who was at
once Impressed with Its merits and
took pains to see that It was carried
through. It remains for the profession
and the people to say whether It shall
become a part of the fundamental law.
LIZZIE THOMAS TOOK
DOSE OP CARBOLIC ACID
The Fact That Her Drother-in-Law
Was at Work in the Oxford
Was the Cause.
Uecause her brother-in-law, Andrew
Swift, who Is working at the Oxford, is
permitted to live nt her mother's house,
17-year-old Lizzie Thomas, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Evan Thomas, of North
Ninth street, quarreled with her mother
last night, lett home and took poison.
After brooding for a couple of hours
over her mother having" told her she
could leave the house if she didn't like
It there, Lizzie went to Dawes' drug
store and secured two ounces of car
bolic acid. Walking up Main avenue,
and then nround the corner of Swet
land street to Evans court, she drew a
'few steps Into the dark court and pro
ceeded to takc the poison.
Evidently she did not know that car
bolic acid is very unpleasant stuff to
take or else her rash determination to
do away with herself 'weakened nfter
she took a sip from the vial, for It
developed afterwards that only a small
amount was swallowed.
She was found In tho court by a
passerby, and the police took her to the
West Side hospital. Dr. Paine said her
most serious hurt was the burning of
her lips. She will be able to be about
in a couple of days.
She was very attractively dressed,
part of her attire being red-laced Ox
ford tics. Two packages of cigarettes
were found on her person.

TWO EQUITY CASES.
They Were Heard Yesterday Before
Judge Dunham Purcell Case
, Will Be Continued Today.
Tho hearing In tho equity suit of Mrs.
Mary Lyden against her son, Anthony
Lydcn was resumed yesterday morning
before Judgo Dunham. Attorney
James E. Watklns was called and tes
tified that Mrs. Lydcn stopped him oh
the street several times and asked him
to call on her and draw a deed convoy
ing the property in question to her son.
Slio said ho had always been good to
her and gave her more than anyone
else and that she wanted him to have
the property. When the deed .was
drawn he read It to her and asked her
if she understood It fully. She said she
did. '
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Price who
rented the house which Mrs. Lydon
deeded to her son testified that she
told them to pay the'ront to Anthony;
that she bad deeded the property to
him. Thomas Hesslon said he knew
Mrs. Lyden in 1895 when she deeded
the property to her son. At that time
she wns a hale, vigorous woman whose
Intellect was strong. Daniel Hayes,
Martin Judgo. and James F. Judgo wit
nessed the acknowledgment of the deed
and said that the contents were made
known to her and that she fully com
prehended the contents.
At the conclusion of the Lydon case
the equity suit of William L. Purcell
against T. J. Dougherty was put on
trial. Both men own properties front
ing on Drinker street in Dunmore.
Purcell has owned his property for
about eleven years and during that
period there was an alley leading to it
In tho rear. After Dougherty bought
a nearby property sometime ago he
closed the alley In the rear of his place
thereby preventing anyone from getting
to the rear of the Purcell property.
The owner of the latter brought suit
to compel Dougherty to open the alley
again claiming that it had been dedi
cated to public use by kmg years of
service.
The defendant T. J. Dougherty wus
the first witness called up for cross ex
amination. He wns followed by A. D.
Spencer, W. L. Purcell, and William
Derby. The latter was on the stand
when court adjourned for the day. At

TEN PER CENT.
STORY DENIED
E.
E, LOOMIS SAYS THERE IS
NOTHING IN IT.
Telephoned to Superintendent Phil
lips of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Coal Department That
tho Story Was Not So and That
tho Position of the Operators Re
mains Unchanged Interview with
Superintendent Phillips on tho
Phillips
Local Situation.
Rumors of a strike settlement fought
furiously with tho rnln for n place In
tho air yesterday. One nfter another
thoy came wafting along only to bo
dashed to pieces on the rocks of In
vestigation. One story had It that tho operators
on or before Monday next would post
notices at all their collieries announc
ing nn advance of five per cent, to all
employes, without reference to strikers,
tho union or anything else. This the
local heads of the companies declared
was without foundation In fact.
Another rumor told of Wall street
having been given a "straight tip" that
tho miners would be given a ten per
cent, advance and. that the strike
would surely end this week.
Superintendent R. A. Phillip's of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
coal department was called on the
long distance 'phono from Now York nt
4.15 o'clock by General Manager E. E.
Loomls, and told thnt a story of a ten
per cent, advance was being circulated
in New York as authoratlve and
that likely It would be In Scranton be
fore the day was over. "When It does
come," said Mr, Loomls, "you can say
to anyone who Inquires that there is
absolutely nothing in It. The position
of the operators Is the same as it has
been from the first."
GOOD AUTHORITY.
The fact that the coal presidents
met yesterday In New York and that
Mr. Loomls is In closer touch with the
coal presidents than nny other ad
ministrative head of a coal company
makes his utterances worthy of cre
dence. Regarding the local situation Super
intendent Phillips of the Delaware,
Luckajvanna and Western company
said, yesterday:
"Everything looks encouraging to
'dny. Quite a number of men have' re
turned to work, and we have materially
Increased out tonnage over yesterday.
Evidently these men realize that our
employes having voluntarily left our
services and continued out of It for
four months, and many of them (as
announced by the leaders) have sought
for and secured Work In the soft coal
regions, we do not, regard any of them
as still in our employ. Consequently
they do not hold any privileges or ad
vantages In regard to chambers or
gangways. Those who are returning
to work, naturally, select the best
places, and they have assurances from
us that they can retain them after the
strike Is over.
"The companies position is the same
now as It has been 'from the start, and
all I have to say Is just merely to re
Iterate what I said sometime ago, that
we will open up our mines and employ
any men that may pply, giving the
best places to the first that come."
