A LARGE CROWD PRESENT IT IS CHARGED BY THE C0MM0N- .. WEALTH THAT THE JURY WAS "FIXED." The Mock Trial of W. Camp No. 112, P.,. S. of A., Was a Great w Success, and May be Re peated Shortly. & t The beautiful room of Washington Camrj'No. 119, Patriotic Order feons ot Afiierlca, jfi the Egan building, Aimer Mojh and Centre strete, was crowfed to overflowingjlast eyfnlnV, and standing room was at a prifmlutr. BesldrJ mem- Aeri fromijhe tpree Weal camA, there fwere present lare delegations firom ad- jvenlnR wartlwlEock trial gotten up by he camp for the amuMement add edlfica. ilon of members of the order, fand to say that those present enjoyed themselves is putting it very mildly. From tho begin nlng to the close ot the trial the audience was In a continuous roar ot laughter. . The routine business of the camp was concluded at 8:00 o'clock, and the room was immediately prepared for the trial. The defendant, George Horatio Ktick, was charged with breach ot promise, uud the plaintiff in the case was Pearl It. Lake (Wm. Zimmerman.) The plain tiff was accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lake, the former being repre sentea by Evan J. Davies. Judge Horace Bradley Dengler presided, and propounded the law In an able and impariial manner. The other court officials were B. J. Yost, clerk of the court; John G. Thomas, court crier; Henry Aregood and Henry Sheeler, tipstaves j Harry Gable, sheriff, and Jo.-eph Temple, deputy. The jury was selected with but four challenges, and the twelve tried men and t-ue finally selected were Samuel Everett, foreman'; 5. W. Davis,- J. H, Smith, Christ. Foltz, John H. Danks, Eli Ram berger, Felix Ktock, IlobertLawsoa, John Abrams, William Horsewood, Samuel Brown and William Reeves. The array ot legal talent In the case was District Attorney Bert. Hook, Prof. J W. Cooper and Councilman C. T. Stranghn for the Commonwealth. The defense was looked after by L.. A. Bam berger, Esq , the Sulzberger ot the local bar, who was ably assisted by ex-Councll- man A. B. Lamb and School Director R A. Davenport. The District Attorney In presenting the Commonwealth's side ot the case to the jury, stated that plaintiff asked for 110, 000 damages, that she kept, steady com pany with the defendant, for five years and ,that(hp called .tbree and four nights eich week. She. interceded with her parents to obtain a loan of $3,000 from them for her dear Georgie, and subse quently when he came into possession of $50,000 he jilted her and dashed the plaintiff 'a fond hopes to the ground. The plea of the District Attorney was ably presented and he conducted himself all through the trial like a veteran ot long practice at the bar. The first wjtnes3 called was Pearl R. Lake, the plaintiff. She testified tbatshe met George Horatio at Lakeside on August 15ih, 1800. Kept company reg ularly with her thereafter. He often kissed her, and she liked it very much, He always left the house before 10 o"'clock. In May, 1893, he made a proposal of marriage and was accepted. Shortly after he came in possession of a fortune, and fhen became lukewarm in his inten tion, and subsequently broke off the engagement, saying he would not marry her, , This shock was too much for her nervous system, and she has suffered from nervous prostration since that time. She had no other gentlemen callers, but her deariGeorgle, and loved him devotedly. She 'Wlllnever marry any other. The Commonwealth here submitted a number of letters overflowing with loving senti ment from the defendant to Pearl, and also a che.ck on the First Nutlonat Bank ot town showing that the defeudaut had received J8.000 from Mr, Lake. In x the cross! examination tho wltnej.8 was a little contused as to dates, but the defense tailed otherwise to Impeach her testimouy. S. W. Yost was then called to testify as to the cashing of the check, and was subsequently recalled by the defense as expert testimony to prove the signature of the defendant. The attorneys here had a legal battle as to the admission of this .testimony, but the witness was finally allowed to testify. Dr. McKenzle Hamilton testified that he attended the plaintiff for nervous prostration. He stated that In the Inter est ot his patient he called upon George Horatio to try and have him recontlder his refusal to marry, but George Horatio Informed the doctor that he would not and further stated, "If you cannot cure your own patient, be 'gol darn' If I will help you." The next witness was Maud Green (B. F. Parrott), and she testified that she Introduced Pearl Lake to the defendant, and was intimate with Pearl. Shecorrob-I orated the testimouy of the plaintiff, ; and upon cross examination proved a tough witness for the defense, George Phllllp.,(John Hooks) submitted ft letter he received from George Horatio, in which he stated he Intended marrying Pearl Luke and that he loved her devot edly, George Lake (Evan J. Davles), father ot Pearl, testified that George Horatio asked for tho hand ot his daughter in marriage and that he gave his consent. He nKo loaned the defendant $3,000. On cro-- examination the witness answered que tlons right and left fired at him by the attorneys for the defense, but he varie.1 but little from hia first testimony. He stated that he was formerly n butcher, but had retired, and that Pearl could carve a steak. Here the defense tried to draw from the witness that at the time he said he was at Atlantic City, when the proposal,of marriage .was made to him by letter, t'iat he lived in Colorado, hut their efforts were unsuccessful. The eloqdent Bamberger, after the Conimomvenlth hud rested their case, presented the line ot detente to the jury, claiming that it was a clear case ot blackmail. The first witness called for the defense was F, C. Reese, who stated that he him self was 'In love with Pearl, and wanted to separate her and George Horatio. The dbject of the defense was to impeHch the character of the plaintiff, and the testi mony as given by the witness was favorable to the defense. Fred. Hooks testified that he and the defendant were in Philadelphia on ths day upon which George Horatio is said to have proposed to Pearl. Tho defense then put B. J. Yost upon the stand, but he was not allowed to testify, the Judge deciding that as a witness he was non compus mentus. William Davis said he was married to Pearl R. Lake, the plaintiff, in 1890, and that she was an adventuress. Upon cross examination this witness didn't know when he was born or how old he was. Rev. John G. Thomas swore he married Davis and Pearl, but would not tell what fee he received for testifying. S. L. Brown was called, but he proved a damaging witness for the defense. He was supposed to represent a ldy, but upon the stand stated that he was a married man, proving that he did not follow instructions from the attorneys. The Judge's charge to the jury was very Impartial, and he disposed of the legal questions brought out in the course of the trial to the evident satisfaction of the jury and tho opposing attorneys. The jury retired at 11:30, and at midnight brought in a sealed verdict stating that they could not agree upon a verdict. The reportoral staff represented wereW. J. Portz, of the HERALD; BenJ. Mansell, Republican, and W. G. Hess, News' Bud get. The committee is being complimented for their work, and have received numer ous requests to give another trial of a similar character. They probably will ac cede to the demand in the near future. "Five " ".Five!" Mere Mention. The representatives to the Legislature from this county were divided on the Judge's Retiring bill. .

His Father Took Him to the Wild West. He Is Now Having a Good Time. Knows a Reporier When ever He Sees One. All the Philadelphia and many of the Inland newspapers today contained a dis patch dated ut Shamokln and reading as follows; "W. N. Moore, who claims to have been stolen by a gypsy 2G years ago and taken to Mount Pleasant, Ohio, re turned Monday night to visit his aged mother andHwo sisters at Shenandoah. It is alleged, a year ago, the gypsy died leaving to Moore, property worth $50,000. Moore was taken trom home when four years old and knew nothing of his family until his captor revealed the secret at his death." Ab stated In the dispatch, Mr. Moore came to this town, but the story he told a HERALD reporter is not In accord with that which has been given so much circu lation. Mr; Moore cannot imagine how the story got out and says he did not talk to any reporter tin his way to Shenandoah. Ho says he knows a reporter when he sees one, and as evidence of that fact he pointed to the reporter who was inter viewing him for the HERALD and said to his friends, "Sartinly I know a reporter ; this is one of 'em." Moore is stopping at present at his mother's house in Rohbius' row, on Eist Line street. The story about his being kidnapped and having beeu left $50,000 by a defunct gypsy Is a take. The truth is this : "About SO years ago Moore's mother and father parted and the latter went West, taking with him Moore nnd his sister, who subsequently became Mrs. Charles Long, of this town, and Is now Mrs. Charles Billings, ot Scranton. Moore remained West for thirty years and did not meet his mother ttntll he came to town 'yesterday. There was no kidnap ping business in the cane aud Moore has not received a $50,000 legacy. Moore's mother is now Mrs. Charles Bellz. She married twice atter the separation from her first husband, and tho latter married in the West. The son, who has just re turned, has a wife and four children at Mt. Pleasant, Ohio. He will return to them after spending a few days here and paying a visit td Scranton. The Beltz home on Line street is now the scene ot a grand re-union. , Mr. .and Mrs. Charles Billings came here from Scranton last night in response to a telegram telling ot Moore's arrival, and now all handslare comparing notes on their experiences ot the past thirty years. .....
