leing coiivi -UM of assault and battery.
He was sentenced to pay a One of ?:.(!,
theMsts of prosecution and to undergo
thirty days imprisonment in the county
jail. Neiderheiser, when on tht witness
stand, admitted that ho had struck young
Hochstetler a blow that bounce 1 him ten
feet and deimsito : him on a stone pile,
but declared that he had used no unfair
means and that the light was a fair one.
Hochstetler averred that Neiderheiser,
who was known throughout the region
as "Ike Puddy, the champion of the big
survey," and who claimed that ho "nev
er was licked," had struck him on tho
head w ith a stone. The jury evidently
accepted Hochstetler' statement of tho
light.

A F&iihfal Ofilcer.
Sunday night the star of Mayor Ycl
Iley set and on Monday morning the reign
of Mayor "Tucker" began.
For a period of 11' years Mr. Weliley
has faithfully and efficiently served tho
pec-pie of the municipality of Somerset as
their ch:ef executive oiiietr, having been
elected Burgess fifteen times, his hist
election licing for a four year l"r,ii. Not
a breath ol scandal has attacked u. y of
his various administrations, during the
last one of w hich he successfully carri.sl
out the most important pul.lii work the
oinstru.-tion of water works ever under
taken by the town Much of ihe credit
for this enterprise is due to tho untiring
enTorts of Mr. Weliley. To his watchful
ness and business tact the tax payers are
largely indebted fr tho economic con
struction of that woik and to its being al
ready on a firm paying b:Lsis. If the pol
icy adopted by his administration is ad
hered t in tho future the lsirough's in
delness w ili spts'dily be w iped quL In
all public matters oflicially corning Is fore
him Burg.-ss Weliley acted for w hat he
tieiieved to lie for the lest interests of the
town, and it is pleasure to thus recognize
the services he has rendered.
His successor has a high standard be
fore Iii but there is every rea-on for
Is-lieving that ho wiil carry out the jsili
cy adopted by his predei-esssor and that
the people of the town will not sulfer by
reason of extravagant and unnecessary
expenditure of ptiblie funds during the
next four year.
Successfc! Business Hethods.
The trite maxim "nothingsuoeee lslikc
success" is well illustrated in the busi
ness life of Somerset by the steady grow th
and pet ularity of the dry goods, notions
and millinery establishment of Mrs. A,
F I hi, which from its inception has
been c-on.-eded a place among ihe lead
ing mercantile hotises of tiie county.
Several things have conspired to devel
op ami popularize the Uhl store, among
which may bo mentioned a thorough
knowledgcf the homeai d foreign mark
ets, sound judgment of values acquired
by long familiarity w ith g.Hds, a stock of
the finest staples and the latest patterns
iu dress fabrics" and white goods, secur
ing for their customers every new novel
ty that is accepted by the public, judicious
selections in fashionable milliuery, and
an undeviating rule of selling at a legiti
mate profit. In addition to the features
mentioned the I'hl store is centrally
located and oi-eupios more floor space
than any similar establishment in town.
The clerks are all trained to their duties
and arc uniformly eourteoin. Their an-u)iins-i!i

ICS. MITCHELL GQMVICTEO
TICE OR SADIE . BEAL.
Motion for a New Trial Filed.-Th Dr.
Eeleaeed oa Sail Fending Argument.
Ir. William F. Mitchell, cn educated
and ejiltnred gentleman, w ho Iiils attain
ed high rank In his profession during tho
thirty years of his continuous practice at
Addison, a mem tier ol the local iH.srdof
pension "examiners, a man of honorable
ancestry and excellent -social ssiLiou was
on Friday found guilty by a jury, of
having performed malpractice upon Sa
die 11. Beal, at the Hotel Vannear, on
Ieeember 30th, and who died seven days
later in tho Allegheny General Hospital.
Tho trial of tho case consumed the
greater part of three days and was ably
conducted by skillful and experienced
members ofthe liar. The jury retired at 10
o'clock Friday morning and at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon rendered their verdict.
When the court house lell rang an
nouncing that the jury had agreed upon a
verdict there was a wild rush on the part
of the people on tho streets for the court
home. Ir. Mitchell and his brother,
Bev. feiis Mitchell, of Braddock, Fa.,
who sat by his side throughout the trying
ordoal, were among the first to arrixe.
The Ir. took a seat at his counsels able
and faced the jury. His expression was
unchanged and he lictrayed no sigu of
nervousness during the painful minutes
liefore the members ofthe liencu came
into court. The grave countenances of
the jurymen Khl ill fur tho lioclor.
When Jude Iongenecker directed the
clerk ofthe courts to Pike, the verdict
there was deathlike silence throughout
the court room, and when the (juestion,
'Gentlemen of the jury have you agreed
iion a verdict ?" was asked, several of
the jurors replied in an undertone, "Guil
ty." The clerk then read the formal
question "In the case of the Common
wealth versus Ir. W. F. Mitchell, what
say you, guilty or not guilty ? to which
the jury replied iu chorus "Guilty."
Counsel for tho defendant asked that
the jury bo jsdled and each juror atose
as his name was called and in reply to the
usual question by the clerk, said "G uilty."
Counsel fr the defendant then asked
leave to file a motion for a new trial and
Judge Longeneeker made an order giv
ing them ten days in which to do so.
Holrt K. Boss entered Loud in tho
sum of .?l,onn for the defendant's appear
ance at court, and the Iioctor left tho
court room and returned to his hotel,
w here he remained until Saturday morn
ing, w hen ho left for his home.
Bev. Mitchell was greatly alTecled
when he heard the verdict, and was as
sisted to the library room. He is retort
ed to have expressed his w illingne:ss to
be substituted for bis Brother and bear
the penalty the Court will impose, in
case the verdict stands.
Br. Mitchell stmlly maintains his in
nocence, and has many friends who be
lieve that tile testimony offered in his de
fense should have created sulli.'ient doubt
in tho minds of the jurors to warrant an
acq'iitlal.
SKl.KCTIXU TIIK Jt'RY.
The time ofthe court from Monday
until Wednesday morning was consum
ed with the trial of petty criminal cases,
and the large number of w itnesses and
spectators were anxious that th trial of
Br. M itehell should b gin. At H o'chs k
Wednesday morning the decks were clear
ed fr action and the w ork of selecting a
jury in the Mitchell ("aso was liegun. The
caution that is usually oliserved in sift
ing a jury in an oyer and terminerenso
w as not lacking on this occasion and it
was 1J o'chs-k ls-fore twelve ofthe hoiie-t
yeomar.ry of the county had passed
muster.
District-Attorney Col born and F. J.
Koeiser, F-sq., ctmductcd the case for the
Common wealth, while Cor! roth Jt Hup
pel, Koontx A Ogle, John It. Scott and
John II. Chi appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Colborn opened the casein a fifteen
minute address to the jury in w hieh he
fuithfully outlin.i l the facts w hich the
Commonwealth expected to establish and
oa which they would ask for a conviction.
Mrs. Maggie E. M adore, a pretty young
matron, clad in black, was the first
witness called. She testified that
Sa le I'. Beal, her sister, came to her
home at Scott Haven, Pa., on October Mh
and continued there until about half-past
seven o'chs-k on the morning jflecem
lierrMKb, w hen she left, saying that she
was goirg to a hospital in Allegheny for

THK bKPKSi PANT'S SIl'K.
At Wednesday night's session ef court
W. H. Huppel Ksip, opened the ease for
the defense. He said that much ofthe
testimony in the case w as uncontrovert
ed and that w hen all of the testimony
had !ocu heard it would put a different
light on aifairs and would firmly estab
lish the innocence of his client. Tho tel
cgrim sent from McKeesport, he said,
had suffered in transmission so that w hen
it was delivered to Dr. Mitchell at Con
fluence it was signed "Seh Andrews."
We will show, he continued, that the tie-
fetidaut never had any communication
with Sadie Beal prior to the receipt of
this message. He was in the habit of re
ceiving messages at Confluence, and
when he received the message iu contro
versy he thoughtlessly tore it up. He
waited for train No. 6 at Confluence, and
after ho had looked through the coach
and no one came forward to claim his ac
quaintance, he took a seat beside Judge
Horner. A little later, a woman, who
has since turned out to be Sadie Beal,
lxt-koned to him to couu. to where she
was sitting. She inquired if be was Dr.
Mitchell and if he was going to Somerset,
and ascertained that he stopped at the
Hotel Vannear. He afterwards went to
her roeiin w here she solicited htm to per
form a criminal operation which he firm
ly declined to do, Then she said that
she had recently sustained a heavy fail
and injured her abdomen, and later on
admitted that she had attempted to pro
duce an a bolt ion upon herself ami im
plored him to examine her, which he re
luctantly consented to do. It will I
shown by eminent physicians that Ihe
operation could have been performed one
or two days before he saw Mis Beal and
that it was performed by an inexpeii
en ed person.
Dr. Mitchell testified that he has been
practicing medicine for a period of thir
ty to or three years ; Is a member of ihe
Pension Kxaniining Brd, which calls
him to Somerset eier Wednesday. Wit
ness said thai he was accustomed to re
ceiving teltvrams at CotiIlncnsi and ad-
milted having reo-ived or.e shown hitn
on Inc. :nh, signed "Ncl Andrews;'"
had no knowledge of the one offered in
ei i'lenee by the Commonwealth until it
was produced in omit. Never received
a letter front Sadie I- Beal ami had no
know ledge of thee.ne testified to. Never
knew any person by the name of Bea'.
Was just aliut to step on the accommo
dation at Confluence when the message
was delivered to him ; rta.l it carelessly
and tre it up. Waited for train No. 1
and w hen begot on looked around to see
if there w as any one ho knew ; lock 3
seat ta-side Judge Horner, who shook
hands and called tl in) "lr. MiUv'.i.
Shortly afterwards he platerved a lady,
h-a ily veiled, w ho signified that she de
sired tospcak to him. Wheu the train
reached I'rsina he -approached the wo
man. She inquired if his name was Dr.
Mitchell, ami asked if ho was. going to
Somerset and souicthnu; in regird to the
hotels there, lie remarked that he di
not kuow her, when she said that hp
was "Mrs. Keim, ef Blk Lick." T",e Dr.
thought he was e.t dinner at the Iote
Vannear, when Mr. Lewis Yanncjr came
to him and said a lady in room No. 0
wanted to see him, to w hich ha re
plied, "All right." After dinner ho visit
ed the pension oll'ice, did some shopping
and visited the bank, w htm it occurred to
him that a woman wanted to see LIui at
the hotel. He went to her room, knocked
at the door ami was admitted j did not
then know that she was tho same woman
ha had met ou the train. She locked the
d sir and turned her back to IL The Dr.
did not introduce himself but asked "Are
you the lady who sent for me?" She re
plied that she was. He then saw the con
dition she was in ; she said a fiieud had
sent her to the Dr. and thai, hj -D,ihi
give her relief. II? rppliwd 'that the per
son who had sent her w as no friend of
his and that under no circumstances
would- be comply with her legucs',
(Witness wanted to tell how ;h? xi kiiu;(t
had implored hi o k.l4p lUT coimiiH-p
from the l,iPe U'd;e f her paicnu, but
; the court would pet ncruiit hitn to di so. )
She then told him that she had had UU op
eration performed hut that it hud uot becu
successful. He at last consented to make
an examination. He sa.d that he had
inquired if she had a mother and advised
her to go to her, as she was her best friend,
She then confessed that in her despera
tion she had performed the operation
herself. Sho was very much excited snd
frequently exclaimed "My God,' w hat
shall I do?" Afterwards she said that she
hail slipped aud fallen on a plank or
downstairs. The Dr. said that he was Ia
J the room about three minutes, and d.d
I Hot see the woman again until the train
arrived at IVickwood, w hen she touched
him on thti shoulder as be wus alx.iit to
leave the car, and said "I am sick and
would like to remain in Ihe car." and
that he had spoken to the nrwslmy aUcit

read "There is a woman (or Mrs. Keim)
on tho Flyer; wait for her."
Mr. Kooscr asked him if he had not
made the statement in the District At
torney's oUlee for tho purpose vf ih'eeiv
iug thoni or of preventing a prosecution
of himself. Witness at first refused to
answer the question without having con
sulted his counsel, but said, without th
ing so, that he ha 1 not, Tho sender of
the message signed "Seh Andrew.," ho
said, he supposed to 1 a man.
Miss Florence Tildesley, Superintei d
ent of tho Allegheny General Hospital,
testified that Sadie II. Ileal had t .Id her,
when first admitted to tho Hospital, that
her condition resulted from a fall, and a
day later sent for her and said that she
wanted t correct her former statement,
w hieh was untrue, and tint she w as suf
fering from a self inlli-twl injury.
Drs. Garinan, of Berlin, Mountain, of
Confluence, Carothers, of S mn rsd, all
testified to Dr. Mitchell's professional
standing and his skill as a practitioner.
The physians agree-d that it w as possi
ble for Miss B-al to hive ls-eu in the
condition descriled by Dr. Mit--:ie!J, f.,r
several days or a long -r p'.rlo 1, b .fore
she was examined by tho defendant, an I
that it was impossible to tell just how
long tho alleged operation might have
been performed.
Drs. Harrison and G-t'.y, of Meyers
dale, oorrotiorated tho testimony of tho
pre-ceding w itnosses for the defense, and
with their statements the defense rested.
I.N KKIII TrAL,
A. O. Beal testified that on January l.llh
Dr. Mitchell made a statement at the Dis
trict Attorney's office in the presence of
Messrs. A. J. Colborn, George Bongos,
H. J. Wilmouth, J. G. Ogle, Hob. K.
Boss and himself, iu which he said tint
the telegram he received at Confluence
read "Wait for the Flyer; there is a wom
an (or Mrs. Keim) wants to see you."
Witness also said that the Dr. hail there
descri'oed the condition iu which he h id
found his daughter in an entirely differ
ent way from the statement he had
made on the w itness stand. (This testi

M r. Beal was corroborated by Messrs.

Messrs. Ogle and B'ss ti-sliiicd that
tho four gentlemen who ha 1 precede 1
them on the w itness stand were altogeth
er mistaken as to what Dr. Mitchell had
said in regard to the telegram, as well as
in other matters which th--7 h-i 1 stated.
Tho case was closed at 3 o'clock, and
after counsel for defendant had submit

elesired the Court to instruct tli jury,
Mr. Ituppel liogan his arg iiiient f ir the
