New York Deputy Sheriff Comes!
Here After Some Important
Witnesses.
T IS A CASE OF POISONING.
MAN AND WOMAN FOUND IN SHENAN
DOAH WHO MAY CONVICT A HUS
BAND OF POISONING HIS WIFE.
A Philadelphia Officer Comes to Town
and Arrests Jones, the Clothier,
Who is Put Under Heavy Ball
For Appearance at Court.
Deputy Sheriff William Methven, of
Flushing, Queens county, New York,
arrived in town yesterday and, after
spending several hours in the Polish and
Lithuanian quarters, located a man and
woman who are to be two very Important
witnesses in a murder trial at Flushing.
The witnesses are John Shock and his
wife. They ore strangers here.
Methven told a very interesting story
of the case before starting for New York,
with the witnesses, on the six o'clock
train this morning. He says that about
six months ago John Wotjenki and wife,
Polish residents of Flushing, became
victims of poisoning. The wife died, but
the husband recovered after a violent
illness. The poisoning appeared mys
terious at first, but circumstances sub
sequently developed that led the authori
ties to believe that the husband had plied
the poisou. The Shocks, who were taken
to New York this morning, were residents
of "Flushing at the time and friends ot
the Wotjenkis. They moved from Flush
lag suddenly, the wife coming to Shen
andoah and the husband going to New
Jersey. The wife brought her household
effects to this town. The desti
nations of the couple remained a
a mystery to the Flushing police until
recently, when Shock betrayed his friend
because the supply of hush money was
cut off. It is alleged that the Shocks
know all about the poisoning. Shortly
after the death of the wife they were paid
money by the guilty husband to make
themselves scarce. About six weeks ago
Shock wrote to Wotjenki for $15 and
failing to receive it he made his location
known to the Flushing police. Deputy
Sheriff Methven went to New Jersey and
arrested Shock and brought him here
yesterday to locate the wife. Methven
says that in conversation with the couple
last night he learned sufficient to very
materially aid the prosecution to bring
about a conviction in the case.
Methven had some trouble in getting
Mrs. Shock to accompany him to New
York, but he was so anxious to get them
away that he bought their tickets, spent
money in treating them royally, and oven
paid $3.47 to have the furniture released
from a levy for one year's taxes made by
Tax Collector Scanlan.

CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
A. T. Jones, the Clothier, Arrested and
Put Under Heavy Ball.
Charles Otto, a tall, good looking man
of commanding appearance, representing
the Philadelphia legal authorities, was in
town yesterday and spent several hours
here. He is a constable In the Quaker
City and occasionally takes a hand in
detective work outside the city. Upon
his arrival here he met and had a pleasant
conversation with County Detective
Amour, who had occasion several times
to call upon Mr, Otto on official businebs
in the city.
The visitor's rounds about town and
the fact that he was a Philadelphia officer
led to considerable speculation, and when
he was seen making several trips to Jus
tice Shoemaker's office with A. T. Jones,
the clothier, whose place was recently
sold by the Sheriff, the speculation In
creased. Towards evening developments
were made in the case. Otto came here to
arrest Mr. Jones on a charge of fraud
and false pretence preferred by Kohen,
Rosenteimer & Co., wholesale clothing
dialers of Philadelphia, who haven cloim
against Mr. Jones amounting to $1,500.
The details of the case have not been
learned, as there was no formal hearing
before Justice Shoemaker. The procets
.was issued at Philadelphia and to avoid
the Inconvenience of accompanying the
officer to the city Mr. Jones made ar
rangements to furnish bail here. Justice
Shoemaker fixed the ball in the sum of
$1,600, which was furnished by E. B,
Brumm, the jeweler.

BREWERS COMPLAIN.
A Meitlng at Reading: Results in Reports
i of Cut Rates.
On Thursday there was a gathering ot
beer men in Heading, nil wholesalers and
brewers and their agents. Representatives
Irom Pottsville, Shenandoah, Ashland,
Mahanoy City and other places were In
attendance. From several who were there
It was learned that they had a general
talk on beer. The subject ot legislation
was touched upon, and the matter of keep
ing out of the territory brewers from n
distance, but the principal topic was the
cutting of prices that is to go on in Shen
andoah and the surrounding territory.
It is alleged that the Columbia Brewing
Company, of Shenandoau, has been cut
ting prices, and thus spoiling the trade for
the twelve or thirteen Bales agents of other
beers doing business there. It was also
reported that one of the stockholders of
this company is a Reading Coal and Iron
official, and that the miners and other
employes are being urged to use the
Shenandoah beer, and patronize only those
saloons where it is sold. This is equiv
alent to making a man's position in the
mines depend on the kind of beer he
drinks. One man states as an instance
that one woman, who runs a saloon, was
told that it the Shenandoah beer wagon
stood in front of her place twice a day
her business would greatly increase.
Mr. Brewer, of the Columbia Brewing
Company, of town, stated today that he
knew nothing of any beer war and his
company was not participating in any,
nor was he aware that any P. &. R. C. &
I. Co., official held stock in his company.
He added that the brewing company
transacted its own business on strictly
legitimate principles and knew perfectly
well how to do it without outside assls
tance. Mr. Brewer also emphatically
denied that his company has cut rates in
any manner. The company has at no
lime spoken in an ill manner of its com
petitors, but has always tried to treat
them with the greatest fairness and
courtesy.
