LONG TERM
FOR MORGAN
TWELVE AND A HAI,F YEARS'
IMPRISONMENT.
(Was Convicted, on Threo Charges of
Forgery and One of Fnlso Pretense.
Is Now 47 Years of Ago, Is Well
Educated and Regarded by the Au
thorities ns a Very Dangerous Man.
Tho Sentonco "Was Imposed by
Judge Nowcomb Harry Williams
on Trial for Buying1 Car Axles.
Fred Morgan was yesterday found
KUllty on three charged of forgery and
one of false pretenses, nnd was sen
tenced to twelve years and six months
In tho Easturn penitentiary. lie was
Klven three years and six months) on
rach of the chartres of forgery nnd two
years for falsa pretenses.
Morgan Is considered one of the most
dangerous men that has been tried In
Ihe local courts for many years. Ho Is
highly educated, extremely cunning,
find, nccordlng to his own admissions,
hns lived by his wits for twenty-five
years. He Is now forty-sewn. Ho
knows all the details of the banking
business and Is an expert penman.
Although nothing definite Is known
nbout his past career, It Is probable
that this Is not his first venture In this
forgery line. It Is known that his right
name Is not Fied Morgan, that being
the name of n friend of his who lives
at Long Branch, Jv. .1.
Morgan had a long statement con
cerning his case written, which covered
eighty-two pages of legal cap. This he
wanted to read to the jury Monday,
but by advice of his counsel the jury
was saved the necessity of listening to
It. It is an exceptionally well written
document, and the defense constructed
In it is most ingenious.
Morgan and the Judge.
After the jury returned Its verdlot of
guilty yesterday morning. Judge New
comb called tho convicted man before
bltn, and this dialogue followed:
fourt My Impression Is (hat your true
tin mo is not. Morgan.
Prisoner Your impression as to my.
name being other than Morgan Is quite,
correct, but owing to my excellent fam
ily I would prefer not (o disclose my
identity. I am keenly sensible to my un
fortunate position, and I pray your honor
in my ploa tor mercy, that you will call
nil your friendly and brotherly, and I may
add your fatherly feeling, to my assist
ance. I appreciate tho fact of tho privi
lege accorded mo by the court and tho
jury and the learned district attorney. T
do net think that I care to Bay anything
further.
Court Q. Have you ever been In the
penitentiary? A. No, sir.
Q. Did you servo a term In the peni
tentiary at Trenton, N. J.? A. No, sir.
Q. Sure of that? A. Yes.' sir.
Q. I think you have held rather im
portant portions in your day. t shou'd
not bo surprised If you havo been a bank
clerk some day? A. Never.
Q. Possibly you havo been a telegraph
operator? A. I followed that occupation
for some time years ago.
Q. You write an excellent hand, a good
clerical hand You have had somo advan
tages, you have had somo education. May
I ask you where you attended school?
A. I attended i.ehool for a little less than
nine months during all my life. My
learning has been gathered by being buf
feted about.
Q. Whore, did you learn telegraphy? A.
f picked that up myself from a manual I
nnd.
Q. You have been arrest ed before? A.
Onee for being Intoxicated.
Q. Have you ever. been arrested for any
thing like stealing, like forgery or for
cheating by falso pretenses? A. Never.
Q. "Where was your last placo of em
ployment? A. At Silver Creek.
Q. Can you now tell in how long ago
that was? A. I cannot: It Is over twenty-five
years ago, ;ind since that time I
have had no regular employment.
living by Has Wits.
Q. You hnvo been living by your wits?
A. .It depends upon .iut what you mean
by that.
Q. I uso It tu Us bad sense, and you
understand what, that means? A. If you
mean that, no sir. If you mean I employ
my wits to come here to Summon mid
beat any one out of money. If that is
what you mean, no, sir. in tho employ
ment of my wits I havo been endowed by
good common senso by tho Lord God Al
mighty and I have employed them to
good advantage.
Q. And for that reason wo cannot re
sist tho conviction that you aro a very
dangerous man, and I hope I do you no
lnjustlco In entertaining tho strong con
viction "that you havo served time be
fore, because a man of your talents nnd
of your proclivities could not escapo the
law's long grasp at tho ago of forty
seven, and I may say to you that It It
not without an acute, senso of pity and :
sorrow that I fool called upon to Impose
such sentence as tho law demands in a i
enso of your kind, h. sentence that must '
lie measured largely by tlio stress or
public security. You aro a man of super
ior ability, you nro a clever perpetrator in
your lino as yet your exact lino is some
thing of a mystery-but you certainly
have had a career and It has not been
nt all times an honest career. As I say
1 nm convinced, nnd I do not believe that
any good citizen could fall to be con
vinced from what has developed on tho
trial hero that your being at largo In
society will be a constant menneo. and
while we will not Impose tho full penalty
of tho law upon you, we fool In duty
bound to Impose such sentence upon you
nn will afford society somo protection
from your further enterprises for a con
sldoroblo time, with tho hope, slight us
it may be, that when your term of Im
prisonment expires you will como out
prepared to dovoto your gifts and talents
nnd ability to hotter uses than I fear you
havo been accustomed to. .
Williams Tried.
Havry Williams was tried before
Judge Edwards for buying car axles
from Robert Marshall and John Koeley,
boys aged 14 and 15 respectively, tho
axles having been stolen from tho Bulls
Head Coal Company. Tho transaction
occurred last August. Tho boys went
on the stand and admitted stealing tho
axles and selling them to 'Williams.
One of them, Keeley, said that Super
intendent of police Day told thoin to toll
the truth about tho case and they
would let up on him. ThlB tho defense
tried to construe into an elTort on the
part of the police department to build
Itp a fictitious case against Williams.
1le latter denied absolutely having
purchased 'anything from tho boys who
accused htm.
There were n number of junk dealers
In court and In charging (ho jury Judge
l'dwards made some remarkB that were
probably Intended for them as well as
the jurors. He said that Junk dealers
ought to be more cautious In their pur
phases from boys and' when tho latter
offer any articles of valuo that have not
been discarded they should Inquire who
tho owner Is and buy from the owner
rnther than the boys. When boys find
It so easy to dispose of articles that
tome Into their possession it Is an In
ducement for them to steal. The Jury
bad not returned Its verdict at the hour
i adjournment.
Conotabla M. J. Gaughan, of Oly
phant, Chief of Pollco James MoHale,
of Archbald and Poter Williams of the
Ridge at Archbald wcro tried beforo
Judgo Nowcomb for committing nn as
sault and battery on Mrs. Mary Lavln,
of Prlceburg. Williams had lost a. cow
and Mrs. Lavln was charged with hav
ing it In her possession. GaUghnn had
a search warrant for the cow, Mctlnle
a warrant charging Mrs. Lavln with
the theft of the cow and Williams was
taken along to Identify tho animal.
When they wont to tho stable to search
for the cow It Is alleged that the three
men handled Mrs. Lavln very roughly.
Mrs. Xavin Opposed Them.
The accused men testified that Mrs.
Lavln did every thing In hor power to
prevent them from carrying out tho
duties they were there to perform and
that she struck them with such articles
as she could reach. The verdict was
not guilty and the prosecutrix was di
rected to pay two-thirds of tho costs
and tho defendants one-third.
Patrick Murray, of Prlceburg, an old
man S3 years of age, who Is known as
"Paddy-keep-off-tho-grass," wus tried
before Judge Newconib for Btrlklng a
neighbor, Mrs. Mary Ann Lewis, with
a broom In August last. The defendant
Is a strange looking old man with long
white hair that reaches below tho
shoulders. A green patch over the left
eye adds to tho oddness of his general
appearance. His story on the stand
was that Mrs. Lewis was tho aggressor;
that she had thrown a pitcher of water
in his face and pulled him around the
floor. The jury wus out at adjourn
ment. William Whlthesly was tried for com
mitting an assault and battery on Geo.
W. Decker. The parties live In Urown
Hollow. It appeared from the testi
mony that Decker was responsible for
whatever assault was committed upon
him and a verdict of not guilty was re
turned and the costs divided.
When court adjourned Mrs. Kllen
Welch of Evans' court, West Scran ton,
was on trial beforo Judge Newconib
charged with being a common scold.
Mrs. Dinah Menegus Is the prosecutrix.
Michael Dully, who lives at the Ridge
In Archbald, was tried for. mlsdemean-
or in office. It Is alleged that while
taking Anthony Ch iwlnsky 'to the coun-
ty jail on June 15 1902. he told his prls-
oner ho would release him for $10. He ,
received tho money but
nevertheless
landed his man in jail.
It appeared that Duffy is not an of
ficer and that he was merely doing a
favor for the constable connected with
Justice of the Peace Munloy's officio at
Archbald in taking the prisoner to the
county Jail. Duffy admitted having re
ceived ?1 from Chllwiniskl. Judge Ed
wards said Duffy could not bo convicted
of the offense for which bo was In

For tho Last Edition.
An amusing story Is told of tho editor
of a go-ahead London evening news
paper, who, In the eternal rushing to !
press 10 gei nneau or tlio opposition, was
constantly Impressing upon hl.s reporters
tho necessity for condensing all news.
A tenlllo boiler explosion bad taken
placo on board a big ship lying at Ports
moutlu "Get down there an hard as you can,','
he said to ono of his men.' "If you catch
the 11.40 from London bridgo you'll bo
thoro soon after 2, and can juBt who us
something for tho fifth edition, but boll
It down."
And tho reporter went. Soon nfter 2
o'clock that aftcrnoii they got a wire
from him;
"Torrillo explosion, Man-o'-wnr. Roller
empty, Dngincer full. Funcrul tomor
row." A Timely Suggestion.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Rvlow.
, Now York, Dee. 0. Today's transactions
In stocks wore smaller than those of
yesterday, only n. few got as much as a
point away from last nlght'B closo at any
tlmo during tho day. There was a slight
odvanro In tho morning In oympathy with
speclsl movementi In ono or two stocks
but a reaction In the afternoon carried
thn lovel of prices a fraction below Inst
night all around and tho market closed
easy but very dull. Quito an active
rpeculatlon In Sugar was tho principal
lnOucttco In saving tho day's doollngs
from actual Htagnatlon. Tho movement
was accounted for by tho announcement
during tho day of an ndvanco In prices
of rollncd sugars. Aftor this onnounr.o
lnont tho stock reacted. Tho emphatic
disclaimers of recent rumors of a com
promise amongst the warring copper fac
tions and a Into reaction in tho London
copper market today combined to calisu
a reaction in Amalgamated. Tho move
ment of these (wo stocks had an Impor
tant sympathetic effect on tho whoio mar
kut, owing to tho preponderance of tho
dealings In them. In tho Into weakness
Louisville was conspicuous tor a drop to
l'4 below last night. Tho day's develop
ments In tho monoy market offered no
prospect of early relief and until that
prospect appears no revival In specula
tion Is expected. Tho dlfilcultlca of bor
rowers vary with tlio grade of their credit
and of their collateral. Holders of stocks
aro very loath to market securities owing
to the poor absorptlvo power of the mar
ket. On the other hand there Is little In
centlvu to pay nbovo 0 per cent, for
money to hold rallrond stocks at prices
which yield generally less than 5 per cent.
