End of the Litigation.
The withdrawing of the equity case
of Benjamin S. Robinson, Silas B.
Robinson and Aaron McDonald against
John M. Kemmerer and William
Crelghton, Is likely to end the litiga
tion that followed In the wake of the
financial difficulties encountered by the
original Scranton Lace company. The
suit was instituted In 1900 and hung
fire until Thursday. An effort was
made to have the case continued until
the November term, but the court re
fused to continue It any longer, and
the plaintiffs withdrew the action.
The suit was Instituted by the plain
tiffs to recover money Invested In the
Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing
company, the defendants being mem
bers of the board of directors. The
company was chartered on May 18,
1896, and among the stockholders wero
the plaintiffs, B. S. Robinson holding
twenty shares; S. B. Robinson and Mc
Donald, ten shares each. In their suit
they alleged that the defendants,
Crelghton and Kemmerer, entered Into
a conspiracy and caused a Judgment
to be entered by AVllllam Crelghton and
M. H. Burch, doing business as Crelgh
ton & Burch, against the Lace company
In the sum of $75,000.
An execution was Issued and the
company's property was levied on. The
plaintiffs contended thift Crelghton had
no legal right to obtain preference as
a creditor; that the Judgment did not
represent a valid Indebtedness, and that
the company did not owe Crelghton &
Burch tho amount of the Judgment.
They further alleged that the execu
tion was Issued for the purpose of hav
ing a sheriff's sale of the property,
and having It bought In by the defend
ants and others, excluding the plain
tiffs. The cour.t was asked to make a
decree setting aside the sale, and com
pelling the defendants to account for
all profits derived from the business.
The defendants, in the answer, de
nied the allegations made by the plain
tiffs and asserted that the sale was
valid and that they were not responsi
ble for the plaintiffs' loss.
For a long, time the defendants have
been eager for a trial, but the plain
tiffs always sought a continuance.
AA'hen the equity list was called Mon
day, the plaintiffs wanted a contin
uance, on account of the absence of AV.
II. Burch, of Philadelphia, who was in
the South and could not be obtnlned.
As this same Burch nad been the
tause of many previous continuances,
the court refused to consider It an ade
quate reason, In the face of the warm
protests of the defendants.
Tho plaintiffs were, however, al
lowed until Thursday to get Mr. Burch,
They had not succeeded, but on that
day naked to amend the bill by mak
ing the Scranton Lac6 Curtain com
pany a defendant also. This was al
lowed, whereupon AVelles and Torrey,
nttorleys for tho defendants, having
anticipated such a step, filed a paper
entering their appcurunce for the lace
company, and also tiled nn affidavit of
defense for It, The case was aguin
ready for a hearing, but Attorneys
Burns and Dawson, who appeared for
tho plaintiffs, renewed their motion for
u continuance. It was refused by
Judge Kelly, and thereupon the attor
neys for the plaintiffs withdrew the
case,

conveying lot No. 2 Instead of lot No. 1.

Under this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accom
panied, for publication, by tho writer's
name. The Tribune does not assume re
sponsibility for opinion here expressed.
' The Eben P. Bavis Case.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly allow u& an Inch or two
of space to correct one tiling said by
your reporter In his notei on the cate
of Eben P. Davles ugninst the First
AVelsh Baptist church. AA'e beg this op
portunity, not that we think the er
roneous statement will have any effect
on the outcome, but because ninety-five
per cent, of even the church Itself know
absolutely nothing of tho case, except
what appears in the papers, hence our
desire to see the matter stated correctly.
It was said that Eben P. Davles "re
fused to apologize"; the truth Is this:
Those few persons, acting In the name
of the church, refused to accept an apolo
gy, though tendered to them more than
once. The members of the committee,
whom Davles said were ashamed of their
Inaction, admitted having spoken to him
on the matter, but contenaed that he had
misunderstood them, which contention ho
accepted, and for which be tendered an
apology verbally and written.
Both were satisfactory to 'the members
of the committee of whom ho nad spoken
and they all signed the written apology
as an evidence of Its sufficiency, but tho
leading spirits In tbo Instigation of the
case refused to accept either.
It was not an apology they wanted, but
an admission on his part that he had told
a wilful untruth, and this Is what he
"refused to do." Failing to get the said
admission, a charge was preferred and
a committee was appointed to Investigate
the charge, but this committee never
pretended to do anything of the kind,
but satisfied Itself with demanding a de
claration of sorrow on his part for that
which they had been appointed to Inves
tigate and had failed to do.
After his exclusion without any form
of Investigation Into tho charge pre
ferred, he appealed to a committee of tho
nearest four churches, and the decision
of this committee was the very thing ho
had already conceded, and for which
he had tendered an apology, viz., "A mis
understanding." This committee also di
rected him to write a letter of apology to
the members of the committee. This lie
did, and the same was signed by them. In
evidence of their satisfaction. Notwith
standing his compliance with tho terms
of said committee's decision und Its ac
ceptance by the uggrleven parties, yet the
three members having charge of tho case
rofusd to accept the said apology and
even rerused to report anything to tno
church concerning it. They never guvo
an explanation of their conduct until ono
of them was asked on the witness stand
why did they refuse to honor Davles'
written apology, and this was his an
swer: "lie used the words, 'I am
grieved,' when he should have said, 'I
am very sorry.' "
All we have said Is In evidence, nnd we
think, Mr. Editor, that wo have said
enough to prove that the statement that
"Eben P.. Davles refused to apologize" Is
entirely erroneous; and the above-quoted
a'nswer, given by tho church's chief wit
ness Is, In Itself, sufficient to Indicate the
spirit ho had to contend with until ho
was eventually compelled to bring his
case Into court.
DaMd AV. A'aughn,
John M. Uevan,
Deacons.
As proof that The Tribune did state
correctly the fncti In connection with the
hearing of the equity suit In question
bpfore Judge Kelly Inst Mnnduy, we
quote from the testimony of John T, AVII
Hums, ono of the deacons of the church,
who was very positive that Mr, Davles
had not apologized. Excerpts from the
evidence of Mr, AA'llllams follow;
Q. Do you remember a conversation
between him (Davles) and B, Hughes?
A. I do,
Q, AVIi.it did U. Hughes say? A. He
wanted him to make n apology, bo ho
could havo some report to take to the
business meeting,
Q. He utiked lum to make an npology
for what ho said? A, "Suythat you are
sorry for what you have done, and that
will do,"
Q. He would do It? A, He wouldn't
da It; no.
Q, You tried to got him to bo peni
tent and say ho was sorry? A. That Is
what we did; called him there and
talked to him a long tlmo there, and
Sir, Hughes said to him, "Just say you
aro sorry and we will take that to the
business meeting." and he (Hughes) said,
"I think that will covor it."
Q. Ho had already said that In the let
ter ho wrote, had he not? A. No.
Q. Didn't you ulways go at him with
tho proposition that all you would take
from him was the declaration 'that lie
was bony? A. No, wo even would take
that; wo were, willing to take anything.
That The Tribune did not mlstuko tho
facts Is shown by tho above Editor
Tl lUuhe.
The directors or the Young Men's
Christian association wore guests of the
association trustees at tho Scranton
club last evening. After dinner n Joint
meeting of tho two official boards was
held and the question Af completing the
new building was discussed. The trus
tees contributed an additional $15,000 to
assist In completing tho building.
Secretary George O. Mnhy gave a de
tailed statement of the entire building
enterprise, giving a complete history of
the last year's progress. Approximate
ly tho sum of $200,000 bus been raised
and contracts already executed for
$193,000. The building as It stands now
Is free from debt. It will bo necessary
to secure nn uddltlonal sum of $36,000
for various Items, ns follows:
Electric light plant and ventilating
Plant n.ino
Decorating .1,000
Seating for auditorium ..,, 3,100
Furnishing bed rooms s.OOO
Furnishing balance of building S.OOO
Electric light fixtures 2,500
$34,919
There are several other smaller Items
also. Two members of the board of
trustees, In discussing the matter of
securing this additional sum, volun
teered to Increase their subscriptions
from $10,000 each to $15,000 each, and
this was followed by other Increases
until In the meeting a sum approxi
mating $13,000 was raised. A number of
friends are to be seen during the com
ing week and a meeting will be held on
Friday evening next, when it Is hoped
that a large part of the amount remain
ing will have been pledged.
As soon as this Is done the furnish
ing contracts will be signed and the
building made ready for opening.
"Not a cent of debt," was tho watch
word at last night's meeting. Accord
ingly, no obligations will be Incurred
until the money Is on hand. For In
stance, as soon ns the first $9,019 Is se
cured the electric light plant will be
ordered; when $4,000 Is secured the dec
orator will begin work; the next $2,500
will purchase tho electric light fixtures,
and so on. It Is expected that the gen
eral contract will be finished in about
three weeks.

Body of Peter F. Roach Was
ribly Mutilated.
Peter F. Roach, who was employed
as a switchtender on the Delaware,
Lackawunnu & AA'estern railroad bridge
leading to the coal yards, was found
dead on the tracks shortly after 3
o'clock yesterday morning, his body
having been cut in two. (
Just how the nccldent happened no
one seems to know. He had placed tho
switch right for the fast freight, which
leaves the yard at 3 o'clock, and at 3.08
one of the yardmen notified the yard
master that man was lying on the
tracks dead, having been run over,
and his body cut In two above the hips.
The general supposition was that he
had been run over und killed by the
freight train as It 'passed out of the
yard.
The remains were removed to Cuslck's
undertaking establishivnt nnd pre
pared Tor burial. Coroner Sultry view
ed the remains, but Is undecided
whether or not an Inquest will be held.
He will continue his Investigation to
day. Deceased was 47 years of age, and
resided nt 928 Wyoming avenue. Ho
Is survived by his wife and five chil
dren, Maine, Thomas, Anna, Peter und
Margaret.
