Ojrn aa.i Tom uoea.
It was assorted that tile late cold
Spring of 1907 would; mean a poor
tomato crop, but tho lateness of frost
in the 112 »li enabled the tomatoes to
ripen and giv« the largest pack ou \
record. In Maryland more than 5,000,- j
000 cises were packed last year, moie
than one-third of the total tomato
pack of tho United States. Second
came Delaware, with 1,300,000 cases;
then California, Indiana and the two '
All these packed upwards
of 1,000 000 cases each, and New Jersey 1
packed 914,000, no other State reach- I
ing half a million. The total for the
United States wns 12 930,185 cases,
compared with 9,074 965 cases in 1896. |
Cana la's pack aiuouuted to only 525,-
000 cases iu 1907, against 725.000 iu
1896— further evidence of tho chilli
ness of the summer in the north. The \
grand total tomato pack iu the United
Status aud Canada for 1907 was 13,-
445,185 cases which was an increase of
37 p->r cent over the pack of the pre
ceding year, tho latter beiug the trifle,
above the average
To offset the iuerease in the tomato
pack, there was a serious shortage iu '
the coru pack, which amounted to only I
7,000, 044 cases against 9,561,000 cases !
in 1906
How far the short p«ck of canned
coru will operate to stiffen the price
of that article aud thus nullify its
competition with canned tomatoes— !
how far the general trade depression
will cut dowu the pressure for canned
vegetables, necessitating the lowering
of prices to effect sales —no oue cau at
present predict.
The fact that there will be plenty
of canned tomatoes at reasonable
prices, will be welcomed by house
holders aud all concerned in the pur
chase of table suplies, for canned to
matoes are very generally relished aud
have become a staple articlejof Ameri
can fare.

Wednesday's Proceedings.
After reconvening yesterday morn
ing court attached the case of Com
monwealth vs. Harry Hiushelwood.
The twenty-four men called to the
jury box were sworn as a whole alter
which each one was interrogated sepa- '
ratelv as to whether he had been im- |
properly approached, had formed au
opiuiou iu the case or was a patient
of the defendant. On request, the
twelve men challenged, retired, which j
left the following jurors iu tlie box to
decide on the case:
W. T. Madden. C. C. Moyer, Wil
liam Messersmith, Jacob Holdren,
Elmer E Keuu, Samuel Hiluei,Thom
as Woods, Joseph Wintersteen,William
Rcgert, William I. Dyer, George Van
ordstrau aud Jacob Hatman.
The charge iu this case was procur
iug an abortion, which resulted iu
death.
William H. Treas, father of Salome
•Tones, wife of Arthur Joues, the vic
tim of the alleged abortion, was the
| first witness. He merely testified as
i to the marriage of his daughter, the
j fact of her death aud physical condi
tion prior to it, which he said was
good.
Mrs. Mabel Pursel, sister of the al
| leged victim, was called to the stand,
j She testified'as to tier sister's coudi
! tion, which had been delicate for ov
er a month prior to her death.
| Dr, Curry, who was called to atteud
j Mrs. Jones on the Sunday before her
| death, was called to the stand. He
, found the womau suffering with symp-
I toms of peritonitis, which might have
| resulted from au injury. He gathered
! from what he had learned from the
husband what had occurred, a state of
affairs, which frequently results iu
I peritonitis. Ou the afternoon of the
day following Mrs. Joues died. The
woman was taken ill the Wednesday
prior to the Sunday that Dr. Curry
| was called.
! Mrs. Eliza Treas, mother of Mrs
.Tones, was the next witness. She saw
I her daughter ou Wednesday.November
I JOth, at the home of the latter. She
j was then suffering very much with
j paius in the ah otuiual region. On
I that day she was obliged to take hex
bed, which she kept until death fol
lowed.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Jones,
the alleged victim, made a statement
to her mother confessing what had oc
curred aud incriminating the defend
ant. The sick woman's mind then wa
clear aud she was perfectly rational,
j She said she felt sure that she would
not get well, as she had been hurt in
j temally
The details of Mrs. Jones' state
| nient as testified to by Mrs. Treas
! were not of a sort that could appear
lin the public prints. Iu effect the
statement set forth that on Tuesday
night, November 19, Mrs. .Tones accom
panied by her husband went to the
residence of the defendant in this
I city. She was taken into the house
where instruments were employed by
j Dr. Hinshelwood. She endured great
j paiu during the operation. With the
| process still in continuance she return
[ I'd to her home with her husband and
I the noxt day became very ill as above
j explained. The defendant, the wit-
J uess testified, called at the Jones resi
lience aud made his way to the sick
j chamber closiug thejuoor on the wit-
I ness.
j Mrs. Jones, according to the testi
| mony, told her mother that she was
i cautioned to keep the operation a pro
! found secret—that the defendant had
| cantioued thorn that they must come
jto his place after night, as he was
watched, and that even the mother of
I Mrs. Joues must uot know what had
i taken place. Mrs. Treas said that her
daughter had informed her that her
husband had paid the defendant five
dollars and had giveu her teu dollars
additional to pay iiim. In cross ex
i amination the witness explained that
| she did not iuforni Dr. Curry of the
i import of tier daughter's statement
when he was called to see the latter
on Sunday morniug.
The next witness was Mrs. ,T W
Treas, a sister-in-law of Mrs Jones,
I who testified as to the mental oondi
| tion of the alleged victim on Friday,
| Nov. 22nd,the day on which she made
j her incriminating statement. The wit
ness declared the woman's mind then
was clear and she was perfectly ra
tional.
Miss Moeschlin, who was witli Mrs.
, Joues during her last illness and made
some observations about the house, was
an important witness.
Miss Moeschlin was corroborated by
Mrs. Pursel, sister of Mrs. Joues,who
was recalled to the stand.
Dr. A. T. DeWitt was called to the
stand. He was the physician of Mrs.
Jones, but was away from home when
j her illness and death occurred. He
testified iu support of Miss Moeschlin
1 and Mrs. Pursel.
i At 2 o'clock the Common wealth rest
ed. Up to the hour of noon W. Kase
I West had charge of the defense unas
sisted. During tlie afternoon session
lis was assisted by A. W. Duy of
Blooinsburg. Hon H M Hinckley
as private counsel rendered valuable
assistance to the Common wealth.
William Kase West in outlining the
defense to the jury made it clear that
an attempt would ho made to disoredit
the alleged dying statement and to fix
the responsibility of Mrs. Jones' death
upon the woaiau herself.
The first witness called by the do
feuse was Dr. Harry Hiushelwood, the
defendant. He explained that he is a
graluate of Haliuiieman medical col
lege and has been practicing medicine
since 1895. For some three years past
he has been located in Danville. He
did not deny that Mrs. Salome Jones
appeared at his office on the evening
of November 19 and that subsequently
lie visited her at her home as testified
to by the Commonwealth He denied,
however, that there was anythng
criminal in his treatment, of the pati
ent. Mrs. Joues came to his office on
tho above date, stating that she was
suffering from a female trouble and
requested an examination. She was
alone on the occasion. Her husband,
Mrs. Jones explained to the doctor,
had gone to the barber shop. Dr. Hin
shelwood's wife was in the front office.
He made the examination and ex
plained to the jury the nature of the
trouble that existed in Mrs. Jones'
case, which he described as a common
one. Desiring to make a further ex
amination he requested Mrs. Joues to
return to the office during daylight.
On November 21st, he received a tele
phone call, in response to which he
called on Mrs. Jones. He did not find
the symptoms alarming. He continu
ed to visit her until dismissed from
the case On one of his visits he found
evidence that an operation had been
performed Mrs. Jones, he said, in
timated that this was a matter which
she wished kept secret.
Mrs. Hinshelwood, wife of the de
fendant, was called to the stand. She
corroborated tne testimony of her hus
band on some points.
Arthur Joues, husband of the alleg
ed victim of malpractice, was called
to the stand. He swore that he did
not accompany his wife to Dr. Hin
shelwood's office on the night of Nov.
19; nor did he know that she had
I made suoli a visit, until she told him
! about it on the way home. His testi
-1 uiony exculpated Dr. Hiushelwood and
[ fixed the responsibility of his wife's
| death on the latter, herself He denied
I that he had employed Dr. Hiushel
wood or that lie had ever paid him
any mouey.
I)r W. K. Paules was the next wit
ness. He offered expert testimony in
support of the view that there was
nothing criminal or injurious in effect
in the treatment that Dr Hiushelwood,
according to his testimony, had given
Mrs. Arthur Jones.
Dr. Paules was followed by Dr.
Harpel.Dr. Newbaker, Dr. Stock, Dr.
Patton, Dr Sliultz, Dr. A T. DeWitt
and Dr. Curry, who testified to the
same effect
The testimony closed last evening.
1 The case will be given to the jury this
morning.

wealth vs. Harry Kiuu.whioh was in
structed by the court to return a ver

THE MIDWINTER OUTING.
This is the time for the midwinter outing. A dash of
summer in the midst of winter is an agreeable variation. It
makes for health and pleasure and stimulates vitality.
For the extended trip, Southern California,the fruit and
flower land of the Pacific Coast, offers unrivaled attractions.
For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of
the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sun
shine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life.
For the ten days' outing, Pineliurst, Camden, Aiken,
Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine
belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many inducements.
For the short trip—the week-end outing—Atlantic City
is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the ther
mometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers
great hotels on the ocean's edge, out-of-door life on land and
sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter severity.
Before deciding on jour midwinter outing consult a
Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylvania
Railroad Winter Excursion Book. Whether you select Cali
fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the Pennsyl
vania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, reasonable
rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best facilities that
modern transportation methods can provide.
