street to collect an amount due for bill
of goods sold him. Karpowskl stated
that he had more than enough money in
the Merchants' Bank to pay the account,
but that he wanted to use it to
purchase some real estate, and that
he would like to keep the money for tha
purpose; that in case he did not buy the
property he would send a check on the
first of the month for the amount of the
bill. He then gave to Reynolds an ordii
for more goods amouutlug to about 150,
This order was reduced to writing by
Reynolds, the agent, and on his return to
Ea-Jtou later in the week win submitted
to the firm, together with Karpowskl'a
statement as to his ability to pay. The
goods were shipped via the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company's lines, according to
Kurpowskl's instructions. During the trial
ot the case at Easton the cashier of the
Merchants' National Bank of Shenandoah
proved from the books of the bank that
Karpowski's statement was false and that
instead of having 52SS in bank on Febru
arj 23, 1694, he had 530. The essential
elements of the offence the prosecution
proved werejehat Karpowskl ui:idea state
Jteut which was false and fraudulent
that he made it with the intent of deceiv
lug; and Unit the firm, upon the faith
the statemont, agreed to sell and th
goods were delivered to the carriers desig-
nated by him and no piyment was made
On the facts as ab ive stated the ques-
tlcm on aiipetl was the offence committee
in the jurisdiction of the Nirthampton
county courts, or if not entirely and com
pletely committed in their jurisdiction
were any of the constituent elements of
the crime done within the jurisdiction to
warrant the court in taking jurisdiction
The counsel for the prosecution claim
the offence was wholly committed within
the jurisdiction on the argument that the
essential purpose of Karpowski's false
statement was not to deceive Reynolds,
the salesman, but Hay & Sons, Reynold's
employers. The testimony showed that
Reynold's had no po.ver to sill; that he
could only solicit orders, and altertaktug
them and admiring Information us to the
We received tO-day a fine lot of I buyer's responsibility he submits it to his
House anu tney uecmo wucmci uc
order shall be filled. Reynolds, tht
prosecution claims, was simply the
means by which Karpowski's state
ment was conveyed to Hay & Sons. Had
he, by long distance telephony made the
statement to Hay & Sons nnd transmitted
his order, it is claimed, the fact that at
the time ho was standing in Schuylkill
county could not deprive the court of
Northampton county of jurisdiction.
The judge at the trial reasoned : ''Had
Karpotvskl written a letter to J. Hay &
Sons containing the statement osmadeto
their agent, could it be successfully con
tended that because the letter was written
iu Schuylkill county the false pretense
had been made in that county f Could it
be contended that if he had sent a tneti-
seuger from Schuylkill county to repeat
verbally the statement which he made
through Reynolds to J. liny & Sons, n 1
it had been so. repeated to them by his
messenger, nnd upon the strength of that
the goods had been delivered to a common
carrier, addressed to Karpowskl, that the
offence was not completed within this
jurisdiction r Whether the messenger
was one employed by himself, or one em
ployed by J. Hay & Sons, could make no
difference."
Both sides In the case say that the
Supreme Court ought to settle this ques
tlon of jurisdiction. The prosecution says
that not pnly the bench and the bar, but
the merchants ot tho Commonwealth,
ought to know whether they can sa'ely
deal with a man In an adjoining county ;
whether when by making false represen
tatlons to Induce them to part with their
goods, a man succeeds In cheating and
defrauding them, no punishment can be
meted out for such violation of the penal
code.

There has been a surprising change in
the weather, but the circumstances sur
rounding the coming re organization of
the Borough Council remain un
changed. Everybody, even the Council
men Interested, seem to be as much in tl e
dark as to the Bhape the organization will
take as they were a week ago.
The report that there was a caucus last
night Is without found itlon. Several of
the Councilmen who will form tho
maiorlty In tho new body havo been
together in twos and threes, but at no
time have they met In a body, nor has
there been any attempt to lorm a slate.
A caucus to night is not expected. To
day being pay day at the Reading col
lleries and several of the Councilmen who
nre to caucus being in business, makes a
formal meeting to-night quite lmprob
able. One of the interested Councilmen
said to-night that he was quite sure a
caucus would not io he'd to-night. It
would not be surprising if the caucus
should be held to-morrow.
The postponement of the caucus has a
favorable aspect from tho Citizens party
standpoint of view. It is believed that
the delay is more intentional than other
wise, and that the object Is to keep the
Democratic members ns much in the dark
a3 possible ns to the slate, so that they
may not have any lines upon which to
direct efforts for a break. It would not
be surprising if the Blate should be kept
a profound secret until the very minute
for making nominations in open Council
arrives. The Democratic members profess
to be perfectly reconciled to a fate of no say
In the re organization, but they have also
been meeting In twos und threes during
the past few days and will not be nt a lois
for a plan of operation should a hitch
make Itself apparent in nny part of the
Citizens ranks. There is said to be a
tandlng offer of five of the best appoint
ments to any member ot the Citizens
pary who will jump the traces and give
the remaining three appointments to the
Democrats. The ostensible object of this
big bribe is to save three of the present
police force from the sinking ship, but
the real object Is to get a hold on the np
polntmont of the superintendent of water
works after Council is re organized.
