Barnick, Superintendent "VOLUNTARY " MANSLAUGHTER" WILKES-BARRE, Sept. 25. Peter Dietrich, on trial ill this city since Monday for the killing of James A. Joues.was convicted of voluntary manslaughter. The caso was given to the jury at 11 o'clock this morning. At 8:15 this evening a verdict was returned. Judge Lynch occupied about an hour in his charge, which was considered by all who heard it most clear and im partial. He went over the evidence aud deiiued murder iu the first and sceond degrees as well as manslaught er. The judge told the jury that if in view of all tiie testimony it believed beyond a reasonable doubt that Diet rich was insane at the time he fired the shot that killed James A. Jones it was its duty to acquit him. A man,he explained.might be insane on one sub ject and still be conscious of his acts. The judge urged with great emphasis tnat before the jury could acquit for insanity it must be convinced from all the evidence that the defendant was insane to the extent that he did not know what he was doing. If from the evidence the jury be lieved that when the tatal shot was fired Dietrich was handling his re volver in his place of business in a criminally negligent manner it was its duty to convict him of voluntary man slaughter. In conclusion the court explained to the jury that it might find the defend ant guilty of murder in the second de gree, of voluntary manslaughter or it might acquit him. The maximum penalty for voluntary manslaughter is twelve years' imprison ment, there being no minimum, by which it is implied that the court im posing the sentence may name any term of years under twelve. When the jury returned Judge Lynch was at his summer home at Harvey's Lake and Judge Fuller sat while the verdict was taken. EASILY DECIDED.

AN ATTEMPT AT MURDER Continued from Ist Page. her assailant. She fought as best she could, but slie was unable to parry the stunning blows that fell on her head from the iron tube, tSy covering hor face with her bunds she not only shut out the infuriated gaze of the man that was trying to kill her, but she protected her eyes and face from the blows. The poor woman fought heroically and thus managed to avert the full force of many of the blows, hut the blood each time the iron descended upon her skull flowed from a fresh wound aud not only covered her own body but left its tell tale stains on the would-be murderer's clothes. The floor of the room where the struggle took place, with its pools of blood, pieseuted a horrible sight,attesting to the desperate nature of the struggle. Mrs. Bentield pleaded with her as sailant. Once she said : "Why you'll kill me." The reply, she says, that Welliver made to this was: "That's what I iuteud to do." Soon after this Mrs. Benfield heard the welcome sound of Mr. Yoguetz's approaching wagon. Welliver heard j it also and it disconcerted him for a moment. Mrs. Benfield managed to escape tot lie door aud ran down to the front gate. Her assailant, still carry- I ing the iron weapon in his hand, ran out of another door and, by a circu itous route and leaping over the fence, caught Mrs. Beulield in front of the house and renewed the assault. At this spot three times lie struck her 011 the head with the steel tube.lt was at this juncture that Mr Vognetz appear ed in sight and Welliver leaped over the fence aud ran away. Hurley Benfield at once telephoned into Danville for Chief Mincemoyer, who hurried to the Benfield farm. Meanwhile the township constable aud citizens started out in search of the would-be murderer. Welliver was found working in the buckwheat field. He disclaimed all knowledge of the affair aud said that he had been working in the field all the morning. He followed the party to tiie Benfield farm, where even the scene of the crime did not move him and his protestations of innocence were so loud as almost to disarm suspicion. When Officer Mincemoyer reached Benfielrt's, Welliver had not been ar rested and, along with others, sat up on the fence, apparently by no means the most concerned. Officer Mincemoyer asked him how he had gotteu the blood stains upon his clothing. | "Oh," was the reply, "my nose i bled." I The officer requested Welliver to J take him to the spot where his nose | had bled. Rather reluctantly the fel ! low turned to comply,when a thought j struck him and he said : ; "Oh, you cau't see the blood, I cov | ered it up. " J The officer asked him why he cover led up the blood ana he replied that that was liis custom when his nose | bled. I "Well,"we'll go and see tiie spot any i how," tiie offioer said. Welliver seem ed to realize that lie would have to comply and lie went along. Before i they readied tiie field the officer had J the boy hopelessly tangled up. Final ! ly.he broke down aud made a fulloou- I : fessiou. He went to the Benfield | house, he said, for the purpose of kill ! ing Mrs. Benfield and that he would have killed her had help not arrived. ; Ho said he wanted "to get even with her" aud concluded his confession with the remark : "I don't want to hang for it." Officer Mincemoyer brought Welliv i er into towu aud placed him in prison. Before leaving, however, lie was tak en to the Benfield homestead, where he was fully identified by Mrs. Ben- | i field. The two physicians found Mrs. Ben field iu a pitiable condition. There were fifteen separate gashes cut iu her ! head, indicating that many blows witfi j tiie heavy steel instrument. Ou the top of her head the skull was laid bare for the size of a man's hand. Else where from her forehead to the back of her head the scalp was cut and bruised over nearly every inch of the surface. It required 35 stitches to sew up the wound and the hair had to be shaved off the woman's head. An unfortunate feature was, owing to the woman's condition, it was not deemed advisable to administer an an aesthetic. She stood the ordeal brave ly, however. The physicians found no fracture or depression in tiie skull to indicate any serious injury to the brain aud,if the woman overcomes the effect of the fright and sohock, they see no reason why she should not re cover. At last accounts she was do ing as well as could be expected. Arthur Welliver, the accused, is a sou of N. B. Welliver,of Valley town ship. Saved His Boy's Life.

In fact, it was one I of the banner harvests on record. And 1 yet we have dollar wheat. This is the I more noteworthy, since the average | price of all commodities has fallen j considerably from the high point reach- I ed daring the boom period that culm i inated last year. It is true that in i some countries wheat was a partial j failure in 1908, so that the demands | for the American cereal are greater, i But it is also a fact that the world is | not overstocked with breadstuffs, and ; it seems incapable of ever attaining | that condition. Dollar wheat may ap pear high for the consumer, but it has | its redeeming quality for the Ameri- J can nation, which exports from 100,- i 000,01)0 to 150,000,000 bushels a year. ! It is one of the chief commodities that ! swell this country's trade balance to j suoh splendid proportions.

The lives and limbs of chil dren are particularly jeopardized by the riding of bicycles on the side walks, and the practice ought to be promptly restrained by the police. Transfer of riarble Works.
