Our Pottsvllle Correspondent Says

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FOR BOODLE
is Upon the Lavish Expenditure of
Large Corruption-Fund That they
Hope For Success The Re
publicans Are Confident.
Special correspondence to ilr.RALn.
I'ottsvilli:, Nov. 2, 1893.
Thrco days before llio battle, the Republi
can organization is in bcttershnpo than it lias
been since tho ticket was nominated. Around
headquarters thcro is an air of confidence
that is gratifying to tho party workers who
havo Occasion to call upon the county chair
man and his lieutenants. This confidence is
not without reason, cither. The fact that
tho Democratic managers are engaged in
raising large sums of money in every pre
cinct in tho county is prima facie evidence
that they see tho utter hopelessness of their
cause, and are becoming desperate. Kvery
move mudo by County Chairman Shepherd
has been checkmated by, tho Republicans;
the party papers are handicapped, nnd can
produce no argument why their boss-ridden
candidate should receive tho votos of honest
Democrats; one faction has gravo doubts as to
tho sincerity of tho other all those elements
of weakness havo culminated in a haphazzard
contest with evory man for himself, andasa
result there will bo considerable scratching
done on Tuesday.
It is a sad commentary upon our form of
government where the people are supposed
to rule when tho managers of a political
party depend upon a corruption fund for
success. I havo it upon good Democratic
authority that within tho past week between
$2,000 and $3,000 havo been raised. This
money will bo used to corrupt the voters,
and in an endeavor to stem tho tido that lias
been setting in tho Republicans favor. It
therefore behooves every Republican to be
watchful. Makoita point to seo that every
vote is polled. From now until the evoning
of November 5th impress upon your neighbor
the great necessity of voting. If this is done,
tho Democracy will receive tho greatest
rebuke it over received.
In my last letter I noted tho fact that tho
friends of Dunn were sacrificing tho balanco
of tho ticket in his favor, and it lias occa
sioned Mr. Rcchtel many sleepless nights, and
his supporters are retaliating. It is acknowl
edged to be tho ono aim of Mr. Dunn's life to
occupy a scat upon tho bench, and he will
naturally strain a point to accomplish that
desire. I hardly believo that tho gentle
man himself is a party to tho means that arc
being used by It is friends to secure his elec
tion. Thero is no question but that tho word
has gone fortli to work solely in his interest.
The Polish paper in this, county is flooded
with Dunn literature and a cut adorns its
pages. There is a strong effort niado to turn
tho people of that nationality in line for tho
Democratic ticket, and money is being freely
used for that purpose It is well known hero
that this will bo the lino of battle in Maha
noy City and Shenandoah, whero these people
predominate.
I cau see no good reason, outside of per
sonal ambition, in displacing a man of T. II.
II. Lyon's legal attainments for ono not his
superior. Reviewing tho judgeship in all its
bearings, I am firmly convinced that the
people of Schuylkill county will ratify tho
choice of Governor Hastings. Thcro are a
number of men of high position in the ranks
of the opposition who aro on record as en
dorsing Judge Lyon as ono of tho most
loamed, impartial and host judges upon tho
bench in this county. As a practitioner at
tho bar ho has brought honor and distinction
to tho members of that profession. Ho is iu
tho prime of life, and received an almost
unanimous endorsement for the positiou by
his colleagues at tho bar. Where is tho
necessity for a change, except from a party
standpoint. Tho Democrats now have threo
judges upon the bench, and the conservative
members of tho party will vote to continue
a minority representation in tho person of
Judge Lyon, Tlioy aro using that argument
to securo tho election of their candidate for
Poor Director; why wont tho same reasoning
hold good in tho selection of a judge a
positiou thousand timos of nioro importance.
Iu conversation with a German Democrat
from north of tho mountain, I find that the
peoplo of that nationality aro being daily
importuned to support Dunn, even if tlioy
cannot voto tho balanco of tho ticket. 80
you seo my statements aro liased upon facts
and not manufactured fur political ellect.
This kind of electioneering is acting as n
two-odged sword. Here iu Pottsvllle, tho
home of young Iteehtel, his friends are
resenting the treaehory and threaten to cut
and trado tho entire ticket. Their reasons,
too, aro vury good ones in more ways than
0110. Tlioy aro aware ot tlio great Inroads
being made by his opponent iu the ranks of
the Democratic party; his connection with
tho District Attorney's olllco tho past threo
yearn, tlio ojllcials 01 winch have quietly
pigeon-holed indictments against election
olHcers and criminals with a political "pull,
is acting aa stone about his neck; nil those
force at work in opposition to tho young
man's ambition is enough to dishearten a
btoutor heart. It will, therefore, not siir-
prito tho reader to bo told that Mr. lioehtcl
has adopted tho sumo tactics as tlio friends of
Dnnn, but tho former Is .using it with little
more discretion. At tho county seat very
little but Iteehtel Is hoard among tlio Domo
crate, and his uncle's popularity in being
worked for all It is worth. The Dutch
farmors havo quietly been given tho wink,
oud It Is ainona the latter ho is putting in
most of hia time.
Judge Rcchtel has many warm friends
among tho Republicans, who would be pleased
to sec liltn on the Superior Court bench. liut
between him and his nephew there is ns
much dlfl'orcnco as between night and day.
Mr. IJrockons, tlio Republican nominee, is
honored by the support of those who believe
In a proper administration of tlio law. Ho
is a lawyer of recognized ability, and will
receive the voto of a large number of Demo
crats. When young liechtel has had a few
more years of experience at tlio bar and
burnt tlio midnight oil a little longer, per
haps he may bo honored with so important a
position but not this year.
I am Informed that tlio Senator from tho
30th district is doing very little in the present
campaign. Tlio reason given is that a can
didate Upon tho ticket refused to bow to his
dictatorial spirit in matters of business Tho
ways otj somo politicians aro past finding out.
In closing, Mr. Kdltor, allow me to impress
upon tho minds of tho Republican voters the
great necessity of going to the polls on Tues
day. With a full voto every man upon tlio
ticket will lie elected. So tlio issue now rests
with you. The county committee and can
didates havo performed their part.

A HOST REMARKABLE PROPOSITION
The Prisoner's Lawyers, Declaring That the
Prosecution Has Not Made Out a Case
Against Their Client, Will Depend
Wholly on the Argument.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Mrs. Pltczol
Was tho first witness in tho Holmes case
yesterday, being recalled by Mr. Graham,
who asked her It thcro were any cuffs to
tho shirt which she had identified as her
husband's, and sho replied that IIohnc3
had tnken them from tho trunk nnd de
stroyed them. Tills was tho only question.
On cross examination Mr. Shoemaker rig
idly questioned her conccrnl'iR her travels
with Holmes and her subsequent nrrost
for conspiracy. Ills apparent Intention
was to show that Mrs. l'itozel had boon
tho controlling influenco during tho ram
bles throughout tho country, nnd that sho
carried Holmes about In on attempt to
ovndo arrest.
I'.dwnrd H. Cnso, Chicago ngent for tho
insuranco company, testified to nu inter
view with the "Mrs. Holmes" of Will
amette, Ills.
John King was called by tho district at
torney to identify "Holmes' Own Story,"
n book purporting to hnvo been written by
tlio prisoner. Mr. Graham dragged from
I1I111 tho information that ho had charge
of tlio manuscript of tho book, and. had
read tho proofs.
Amy Long, a typewriter, said slier re
ceived tho manuscript of tho book from
Mr. Shoemaker. It 'was in pencil, and
tho handwriting was unknown to her. A
(specimen of Holmes' handwriting was
shown her, nnd sho Identified it as. tlio
snmo ns that in tho manuscript.
Agent Perry, of tlio Insuranco company,
was recalled to identify Holmes' hand
writing. Detective Geycr, recalled, paid ho had
been sent down to Holmes' cell about flvo
weeks ago to seo If thero was nny poison
concealed there. While- making search ho
canto upon tho mnnuscriptof tho bookand
brought it to tlio district attorney. Geyer
nlso found In Holmes' cell n letter to John.
King about tho salo of tlio book.
Tho cominonwonlth offered in ovldeneo
tho letters nnd papers, picture and tho
Holmes book, and rested its case. Mr. Re
tail mailo nn unsuccessful attempt to rule
oat tho Holmes book and all pertaining to.
it, and endeavored to show that thero was
other matter in tlio book rntlior than that
furnished.
Tlio prosecution then switched back to
tho medical and scientific phaso of tho
Pltczol case, with special referonco to in
ternal physical conditions in cnso of death
from violence or from chloroform. Dr.
Henry Leffmnnn returned to tho stand,
nnd Holmos' medical knowledge was again
lu ovldeneo by tho frequent and exhaustive
instructions to ills counsel ns to their lino'
of cross examination. Dr. Mnttern, of the
coronor's office, followed Dr. LolTmann.lmt
after a few questions from cither side, was
dismissed.
The defense hero recalled Miss Yoke.
Kho testified that she married tlio prisoner
under tho name of Howard in Denver on 1
Jan. 17, 181)1. Sho knew of tho woman
lu Willamette, but believed sho was not
"Howard's" legal wifo. Ho told her mother
that bis undo had died and left him cer
tain properties in tlio south, tho west nnd
in Fort Worth, providing lie took Ills un
clo's name, Henry Maucill Howard. Ho
explained his taking tho namo of Pratt in
Fort Worth by saying his business com
plications required it.
After nn hour's recess Mr. Rotnni. ad
dressing Judgo Arnold, called his atten
tion to what ho claimed was tho common
wealth's failure to provo a case. Housked
tlio court to settle tho caso by instructing
tho jury accordingly. This Judge Arnold
declined to do, but instead Instructed
counsel to go on with tho ease, uftorirrant
iug their request for a short time to con
fer with tho prisoner.
When tills time had elapsed they sur
prised tlio court, jury, pro-.eeutii)ii, wit
nesses and spectators by saying they
would offor no def6nso, but would rely
Finiply on argument. Court then ad
journed until tills morning.
When tho trial began last Monday
everybody anticipated a sioge of at least
two weeks, but Uio decision ot Judgo Ar
nold thnt.no testimony would be admit
ted other than thai boorlng directly on tlio
murder of Benjamin F. Pite.ol had tlio
ofTect ot keeping out a group, of gruesome
exhibits and silencing about thirty wlt
i.ob;os brought here from. Canada, New
Kngland auil the west, and; supported for
six days at tlio commonwealth's expense.
The judge's decision also prevented tlw
