E. J. MULLEN-, Jan. Ttb, 1895. Auditor. The Jtulgnlilp Content CM®. The Honorable Judges—Rice, Archbald,and Scarle, convened court at Laporte on Thursday afternoon last, to lake further action on the judicial contest case, in this the 44th Judicial District. The attorneys representing either side were pres ent including Mr. Parsons of Will.. iamsport who his recently been re tained by Judge Dunham, lhe case was spiritly contested; both sides were enthused and not a stone was left unturned that would be bene« ticial to either side. It was a lively expounding of the law. Atty. D. C. DeWitt of Towanda. representing the respondent, was the first speaker, lie made the following motion : In re: the matter of the | In the court of Contested Election of V Com. Pleas of 15. M. Dunham. » Sullivan county. Number 83 December Term 1804. MOTION TO QUASH. Now, January 3, 1895, E- M. Dunham by his counsel moves to quash the proceed ings in this ease and assigns the reasons following: (1). There has been, and is no vacancy in the judiciary of the Comity of Sullivan, caused by death, resignation, nor other wise that would give the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania the constitutional right to appoiut a judge or judges to pre side in the courts of said county. (2). 1 lonorab'o C. E. luce, President Judge of the County of Luzerne has not been elected as judge in the County of Sullivan by the qualified electors of said eonniy, nor by thequiHMed electors of the district of which Sullivan county forms a part; Hon. H. VV. Archball, President Judge of the County of Lickawanna has not been elected a judge in the Count}' of Sullivan, by the qua'ifled electors of which judicial d'atrict Sullivan forms a part; and Hon. 1). VV. Scarle, President Judge of the County of Susquehanna has not been elcct a judge for the County of Sullivan by the qualified electors of Sullivan, nor by the qualified electors of the judicial district of which Sullivan county forms a part. (8). Hon. Joliu Yonkiu and lion. ?nal, this court as authorized by thee institution, has no pow er nor jurisdiction and the whole proceed ing should be qua;.lied. (ti). The General Assembly can make judicial districts provide lor addition law judges, but it r. quirns the votes of qualiti ed electors, to make judges unless there be a vacancy by dentil, resignation, or other wise, in which case the Governor may ap poiut, as provided by the constitution." Mr. Do Witt made ft strong ] t in the form pre scribed by :ho Act of Assembly, approved May 19th 1874, towit: said petition shall be varltied by :,t least five of the petition ers by all!davit taken and subscribed lie fore some person authorized by the laws of this Commonwealth to administer oaths, setting forth that they vkiui.y believe the facts stated therein are true, that according to the best of their knowledge and belief, the election was undue or illegal and the return thereof not correct and that the petition to contest the same is made in good faith." (U). Because the affi -avit to the petition made in Sullivan county is not signed by any of the affiants. (I). Because the petition filed in this ease is not sufficient to briug it within the jurisdiction of this court. (5). Because the affidavits attached to the petition are not in accordance with the Act of 1814 and are not sufficient to bring it within the jurisdiction of this court. (f>). That the petition is not sufficient to give the court ju isdietion. (i)- That the General Allegation con tained in the first part, of the petition is not sufficient to give the court jurisdiction and require the respondent to answer. (8). '1 hut the alleged specific allegations f«oni the first to the twenty-second, inclu sive in Wyoming county is not sufficient tn :rive the court jurisdiction or to require the respondent to answer. (9). That the alleged specific allegations contained in the petition from the first to the fifteenth inclusive, is not sufficient to give the coart Juris iiction, or to require tho rcsponijput to answer. (10). That Iho concluding allegation in the petition in Wyoming couuty anl the 16th alle gation in the petition in Sullivan oounty, is in sufficient to give the court jurisdiction or to ri H'lire the respondent to answer. KDWAIII) M. DUNHAM. STATK OP PENNSYLVANIA. ) COUNT* OF SULLIVAN ) FS ' Enward M. Dunham being duly sw m tie— po-*es antl pay that he is informed by hie coun sel, and verily believes that the above motion and the reasons upon wliieh it is based, are well founded in law. Ho further swears that the above motion is not intended for de'ay. EDWARD M. DUNHAM. Sworn and subscribed before ) A. WALSH, mo this 3d day of Jan. 18Vi. j Prothonotary. Judge Ingham made a strong plea in favor of this motion to quash, lie dwelt to some extent on the words "to the best of ray kuowledge and belief," in the original petition and said the word "I varily believe," should have been inserted in the same, in place of"to the best of my knowledge ect." Mr, Ingham cited many cases as authority. During his remarks he hit editor Streby a hard one. He said that the law re quired that signets to said petition shall have voted at the election when the fraud, alleged, is said to have l>een perpetrated and a gentle man who signed a petiton of this kind without, the said qualifications, laid themselves liable for perjury. Mr. Ingham was followed Mr. Jor den who made a rery lorciable argu ment in favor of the motion. Mr. Parsoiiß enmo next anil held the attention of the court for about 20 minutes. He inside a splendid argu ment, and defended the motion to quash, in an able and pleasing mnn> tier. He said that were it possible to quash the contest on technicali ties, tho judges hearing the case, should not hesitate in doing so, as the expense to the ft ax payers of the county would be at least ten thous and dollnrs. Here he spoke of the Lycoming judicial contest and said it cost their people about twenty-one thousand dollars and that this did not include the salaries of t!?e judges who heard the case, which made a total of twenty-seven thousand dol lars. Flo further stated that the contest had left an unpleasant feel ing with the attorneys of his county, that perhaps never would be healed. With Mr. Parsons seated, Messrs. Piatt and Little who represented the contestant, argued that the motion was not ,well founded ttud cited, we think, only one case as authority. I'hey like their predecessors made good arguments and were of the opinion that the court should over rule (he motion to quash. At the close of Messrs Little and Piatt's arg ument, the court remarked as follows: "Wo aro not prepared to dispose of this motion just at this time. It is n ques'ion which we would like to consider a little before dispos ing of it.and vro have decide! to adjourn until next Wednedny when we will disposo of it." Before adjournment the following order was made by the court: ORDER OF COURT. That the Commissioners heretofjre appoint ed, towit: \Y. E. Little and Rodney (J. liardwell if Wyoming and J. O Scouten and A. J. Brad* ley of Sullivan forthwith, in their respective counties at the time to be fixed by them at which counsel for the petitioners and fur the respondent may be present, proceed to open the ballot boxes used at the election held Nov. Gth, 18 ( JI, and take therefrom tho contents o! tho same and that tho said commissioners thereupon put up in separate packages the "allots of each election district and securely fasten and seal the same, distinctly marking on each package the election district to which it belongs and deposit such packages with the Prothonotaries of the respective counties to be kept by tho said Prothonotaries until the further order of the court. .And that the said Commissioners further de posit. with the said respective Prothonotaries ;ho other papers, if any, relative to the said election which may bo l'outd in the said bal.ol b xes, taking a memorandum of the same lor oach election district, and making a return thereof to this couit; the s.iid papers, but not tho L aid ballots to be open to tho inspection of the counsel of either party at tho offices, respec tively of the said prothouotaries. By the Cuurt. Adjourned to meet at Laporte, on Wednesday, Jan. 0, 'OS, at 'j:3o p. m. WKDXKSTHY AVTEKXOOK SESSION, JANUARY 0, 1695. The Court over ruled the above motion to quash, hence the proceed ing of the contest, will goon, and no person chii foretell when the end wili come. The respondents rsquested the Court to order the contestants to lile a bill of particulars. The court will give their answer on this ques* tion this (Thursday) morning. Owing to space, we are obliged to omit several communications this week. \\ ill insert them next week. There are three applicants for the appointment of court crier, viz: Jno. K. Fan-ell, Cherry ; It. A. Conkliu, Laporte; and Geo. Rca, Davidson. The light to win, is on, and bids fair to reach fever heat. A Niiium«*r School ol Law. As early as 1836 a law school in connec tion with DicHnson College, Carlisle Pa., was established, and among its graduates were the late Gov Curtain Gov. P.emscv of Minn., and many other distinguished men. After a suspension of several years, this school was revived in 1890 by incorpo ration, the incorporators embracing many of the leading jurists ol this and adjacent states it has steadily increased in the number of students, tho efficiency of its work, and the perfecting of i?s instrumen talities.
