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. ?<I. J.
Phillips have been duly elected by the
qualified electors of said county, judges of
said county, duly commissioned as such
judges, their terms of otlice for which they
were elected have not expired, nor have
they been removed for any cuise whatever
and are now duly qualified by law to sit in
all the courts of slid county, armed by
their constitutional right so to do.
(4). Wyoming count yis the most pop
ulous county of this judicial district and if
the Governor hud the constitutional right
to convene this court, anywhere, it was in
Wyoming and not in Sullivan.
(5). Section 0 of the Act of General
Assembly of the 19 of May A. I)., 1874,
under which this proceeding was com
menced is unconstituti >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;a in
defence of his motion, lie was ask
ed many questions by the learned
Judges on the bench, liut in every
instance had a ready answer to sus
tain his motion. Mr. DeWitt dwelt
and quoted quite extensively, .Sec. 5,
G and 7ot the Constitution, urging
that these sections did not permit of
this court presiding in the case; that
Associate Judge*—Yonkiu and Phil
lips with a President Judj;e of either
of the counties were the proper tri
bunal to here tho case. The speaker
said he had with much care, read the
Constitution from top to bottom and
was unable in a single instance to
find wherein this court was properly
convened by the Governor. With
Mr. DeWitt's remarks over Attys.
Little and Piatt for Judge Sittser
appeard before the court and argued
that in their opinions the Governor
and Atty. General had made no mis
take and quoted Sec. 17 and IS of
the Constitution to sustain their re
marks. Either fide were grasping
at straws, and they made the water
bubble for a few minutes. W itb the
arguments over on this motion court
adjourned until Friday morning at
0 a. in.
Fill DAT MOANING SESSION.
Court convened at 9 a. m., when
the Judges gave the following decis
ion in the above mentioned motion.
The reader will observe that the
three Judges were not of the same
opinion, regarding the matter. Here
are the words of the court:
BY KICK, JUDOK:—"The majority of the
court agree in over ruling the motion to
quash.
HY ARCIIBALD, JCDOK:—"I think that
the motion ountil to bo sustained, only on
the ground that this court of Sullivan
county is clearly not the court intended,
and rliat the respondent now being fhst
brought into court, has the right to raise
that question."
Our readers will observe that this
was a pretty close shave to a quash,
but much to the disappointment of
all it did not win, however, the nttor
niea for the respondent were tinned
to tbe shoulder with papers to this
end and presented this, the second
motion to quash. This was present
ed by Judge Ingham, assisted by
Parsons and Jorden, viz :
MOTION TO QUASH, NO. 2.
Now to wit, January Bd, 1895, Edward
M. Dunham, the respondent comes into
court and moves that the petition tiled in
this case he dismissed for the following
reasons:
(1). Because this court has no jurisdic
tion to hear and determine the case, because
under Act. of May i Oth, 1874, upon the
presentation of a petition to the Attorney
General, and after he had certified it to the
Governor of the Commonwealth, the said
Governor should have convened the Court
of Common Pleas of Wyoming county.

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.
