ARGUMENTS IN
JENKINS CASE
THEY WERE HEARD YESTER
DAY BY THE JUDGES.
Mr. Watson, for City, Contended
That ns E. J. Robinson Had a Bond
in the Sum of $80,000 on File with
tho City When He Was Appointed
Delinquent Tax Collector, It Is a
Substantial Compliance with the
Law Contention Has No Merit,
Mr. Carpenter Says.
Arguments were heau! yesterday
afternoon In Argument court on excep
tions to the report of the referee, M.
W. Lowry, in the case of George W.
Jenkins ngalnst the City of Scranton.
Mr. Jenkins sued to recover salary for
thirteen months ns tux collector of
Scrunton, nnd Referee Lowry, befom
whom the ciiso was heard, decided In
ills favor. City Solicitor Watson tiled
exceptions to the report of the referee,
and these were argued yesterday by
Mr. Watson, for the city, and former
Judge J. W. (.'nrpentor, for Mr. Jen
kino In a former suit Mr. Jenkins collected
salary for the mouths of April, May
and Juno, 1901, the Supreme court ile
I'ldlng that lie was the legat collector
of delinquent tax. In his argument yes
terday Mr. Watson said that the up
polntinent of City Treasurer K. J. Rob
inson to the ofllee of tax collector on
July S, 1D01, worked a removal of Mr.
Jenkins from Hie office. His bond lu
the sum of $SO,000 for the faithful per
formance of his duties as clly tiejs
urer, which prior to the passage of the
"flipper bill" also included tho collect
ing ol delinquent taxes, was, Mr. Wat
son thought, u substantial compliance
with the act, which says a man must
qualify before he enters upon the duties
of his ofllee.
Judge Carpenter contended that the
only question in the case was whether
or not there had been a removal of Mr.
Jenkins. It was admitted by the city
Unit there had not been, save by the
appointment of Mr. Robinson. This was
not sulllelenl, since Mr. Robinson had
taken no oath of ollice and had not
tiled u bond. It was ridiculous, he said,
to urge that a mall could file a bond
for an ofllee that did not exist until
two years after that bond was ap
proved. There was no merit whatever,
he held, In the contention that the fact
that Mr. Robinson had given a bond to
the city was a. substantial compliance
with tho lequirements of law.
The following divorce cases were sub
mitted: George H. Trauger against
Vira Trauger, which was told before n
Jury and a verdict rendered in favor
of Mr. Trauger: Thomas P. Durr
against Annie Durr, R. A. Courtney
against Mary Courtney. Anna M. Low
ery against Charles S. Lowery, Ira
Mitchell against Ida S. Mitchell, Bar
bara Ii win against Jacob Erwin, Annie
Munday against Charles R. Mimday,

BEATEN WITH
STOVE LIFTER
FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL RAN
AWAY FROM HOME.
Florence Thomas Dcclnrcd That Her
Aunt, Mrs. Joseph Kiefer, of Chorry
Street, Brutnlly Mnltrented Her
nnd Her Younger Brother Mrs.
Kiefer, When Arrestod, Admitted
Having Beaten the Girl with a
Broomstick Children Sent to
Home for Friendless.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kiefer, of Cherry
street, were arrested yesterday at the
Instance of Mrs. W. U. Duggnn, agent
of the board of associated charities, on
the charge of having cruelty treated
their little niece and nephew, Florence
Thomas, aged 14 years, vj'J George
Thomas, aged 0 years.
At a hearing held before Alderman
Ruddy last evening, It was deduced
that the two Thomas children have
been In the care or the KlefciB for
some time. The ll-ycar-old girl works
lu the Siutquoit mill and tho case wus
brought to tho attention of Mrs. Dug
gnn yesterday through her. She ran
away from home because of the cruel
ties which she said were Inflicted upon
her and she sought Mrs. Duggan'a aid.
She swore on the stand at the hear
ing that her aunt beat her brutally n
few days ago because she accidentally
stepped In front of her while she was
sweeping. Mrs. Kiefer, she said, struck
her repeatedly with nn iron stove lifter,
a broom handle and the back of n
bread knife, she said.
She showed big, black bruises on her
arms and body ns evidence of tho truth
of her story. On another occasion, she
said, her aunt threw her through a
screen door, badly lacerating her arm.
She bad also abused the boy on fre
quent occasions.
The boy was made to show a big,
ugly looking red wound on his arm, but
lie seemed to be afraid of his aunt and
would not admit that she had inflicted
II. He had sustained It by falling on si
rock, ho said,
Mrs. Kiefer took the stand and admit
ted beating the girl with n. broom
handle, but denied having struck her
with the stove lifter. Alderman Ruddy
ordered the children taken from the
Klefers and removed to the Home for
the Friendless. He reserved his decis
ion as to Mrs. Kiefer, but ordered her
husband discharged.
