A. W. Schalck, Esq., Says Our State
ment Was Correct.
BOGART DID NOT DELAY THE TRIAL
The Pottsville Attorney Emphatically Re
pudiates the Statements of the Persecu
tors of Professor Bogart The Re
sponsibility for Delay Placed
, Whore It Belongs.
Tho HEnAi.u has no dcsl'ro in contiiiuo n
newspaper discussion oT the schotd trouble,
but as a newspaper that lias n high regard
for th6 truth and as strongly Opposed to sell
satlonal journalism, wo cnunot ullow the
misstatements that have been inndo by the
persecutors of Prof. Ilognrt as to tho real
causo of tho postponement of the trinl at
Pittsburg last week go unchallenged and un
contradicted." Tor that reason wo have so
cured, not without much hesitancy on his
part, a statement from A.-W. Schalck, Esq.,
of Pottsville, as to the truo' causo of the post
ponement. Sir. Schalck was connected with
tho casu as ouo of the counsel, and his state
ment will not bo questioned, even by tho
Man-without-a-job or tho long-haired foot
ball newspaper fake.
Tho letter of Sir. Schalck is BUbjcct to but
one Interpretation, and sustains in every
detail the statements made by tho Herai.ii
representative. If it were deemed necessary
tho District Attorney's vciification of tho
matter could bo published. Mr. Schalck's
letter, however, is sullicient, and it is as
follows :
1'ottsvili.i:, l'A., Nov. 2.1, 1890.
KniTou of thk Km:nino IIkuai-d:
It is mJ rule not to become Involved In news'
paper controversies, nnd especially so touching
cases In which I nm professionally concerned.
I'ut under nil the circumstances I feel that I ow e
it to Prof. Ilognrt nuil his friends to make the
first exception to this ride, nml to comply with
your request, and to affirm in n general way the
correctness, of tho report in your issue of so-
vembnr .nth., as to the circumstances wmcn leu
to n continuance ot the Professor's cose Inst
Thursday nt Pittsburg.
The case had tiecn flxeU lor trim lor iiloiulny,
November ICth, lint owing to other engagements
here I felt unntile to ho there before Wednesday
or Thursdny, nnd therefore lind my collengues
nt Pittsburg ask for a few days delay; but the
District Attorney was inexorable, and Insisted
on leaving the case on Mondny'fl list, with
peremptory orders tlint it would certainly be
enlled for trial at tho opening of tho court ntO.ai)
n. in. on Tuesdny morning, November 17th, nnd
my colleagues telegraphed me accordingly on
Saturday. So I hait to leave home on Sunday,
travel through that night, reaching Pittsburg on
Monday morning, nnd spent Monday in consul
tation with my collengues, nnd making the
final prepurutiuns for the trial.
On Tuesdny morning, bright nnd early, all
the counsel nnd all the witnesses forthe defence
were on hand at the opening of tho court, rca y
nnd anxious for the trial of the case.
We then learned that the District Attorney
had turned our ense over to Mr. nrlon tho
prl ate counsel employed by the Shenandoah
people who nro the pr4'cntors in this case, nnd
Mr. Marlon, for reasons unknown to us, pre
ferred not to tnke Up nnd to try ourcase, though
peremptorily set for trial the first thing that
morning, but called up and tried another case
at minor importance in which he was also in
terested for the prosecution, nnd this ease con
sumed tiiat day.
In tho meantime, my Pittsburg colleagues
had lcnrned of certain matters which rendered
it ndvlsable In their Judgment to demand a full
panel, so ns to mnko sure ot securing n
thoroughly unprejudiced anil acceptable Jury,
and thus securing a fair trial for our client. If
the case had been called on Tuesdny morning
ns flxed, we wcro prepnred and ready to go on
without having a full panel (a hoinlcldo trial
being then In progress); but by Wedncsdey
morning my local colleagues had found It pru
dent to demand a full panel ; nnd yfct, notwlth
stnnding their suspicions, In order to nvold
further 'delny. as our witnesses Were getting
restless nnd anxious to get home (sonic of them
liavlngcome hundreds of miles), my colleagues
were willing, and offered later on in the day, on
Wednesday, to waive a full panel, and to go on
with tho ense-, but Mr. Marlon then declared
that ho would not call the case before Thursday,
because, as I understand, ho bad some other
engagements on Wednesday.
So we were again on liand on Thursday morn
ing with our witnesses, but then Mit. MAmox
STATED IN OPKS COUKT THAT HE WAS ILL, AM,
usable to go on with the case j but (I frankly
admit) ho did say tlint, If the case was to go on,
ho would go out anil try to secure somo other
counsel to take his plnee. Kvery Judge, and
every lawyer, knows how dilllcuU and unsatis
factory to court, counsel and jury it is when one
counsel lias prepared n ease, ami has thus fn-
millnrlzed himself with it, tu call in nnothcr
luwyer, wholly unfamiliar with tho ease; and
for him, nro moment's notice, to tnke charge ot i
the case, cspeelnlly of nn important one, such
as this The District Attorney himself had left
the preparation ami the trinl of tho case to Mr.
Marion.
H wns then near noon on Thursday, anil no
certainty when our case would be called and
tried; nnd, moreover, It wns the well known
lesiroof the court nnd ot tiio District Attorney
to wind up their Jury trials on the followlig
day. Under those clicumstances it would m.t
nave neen jusi 10 iuc rrmwiur, wurura win.
one of the most heinous of crimes known to the
law, to have the raise cnlloil on Thursday after
noon or Friday morning, nt tho risk of being
railroaded through, to say iiothliigoi liicincon
venieneo of counsel and witnesses so fnrniwi. I
from home all of whom bad alroudy been
nwny from their business for duys, tube kept
there, running Into the following week, when
nil of us had expected nml arranged our nffairs
enlciilatiug to bo home by Saturday.
Then tho District Attorney, after consulting
the court, decided to continue the case to the
next term; but it must bo distinctly understood
tlint such continuance was not at our instance.
I trust this statement will bo satisfactory to all
parties concerned. If not, I can't help it; for.
as remarked at the outttart ot this letter, I shall
have to decline further correspondence ei en to (
please my friends on the other side of this case,
whoso version of ttiis matter I havo not tven
seen, nnd therefnro do not know whether it
agrees ur disagrees with my statement. 1 say
"friends," pecnuso my personal rehitlonsv.to
these gentlemen have "UjylV been friendly, and
1 have no personal fevsrng or Interest in this
matter; nnd therefore want nu controversy with
them. Yours truly,
A, W. Schalck.
Tho above communication from ono of1
Schuylkill county's leading attorneys clearly ,
shows that the persecutors of theSuperintcu- j
tlont the prescntj Incumueur, we mean oro
not only practlclne deception towards tueir ,

sweet land of Nod, dreaming, porhnps, of the
I many snares set for one that is "new" to

We reproduce tho following from tho H KH
ALI) Of Friday last, showing that our version
of tho nll'.ilr was a correct ono :
Wednesday afternoon (he Dlstrlit Attorney
mado the' Announcement that the case would he
onlletl Thursday morning, and a full panel
would be rendy. This wns satlsfnctory to the
defense, but subsequent events showed It wns
not agreeable to tho other side, who clonrly
showed the whltofenthcron Thursday morning,
when their lawyer, John Marlon, Kbii.,' stated
tlint he wns sick nnd could not go mi wtyhthe
cns'o'nt that time nnd did not know when ho
would be able to proceed. He nlso stntcd tlint
If tho' court insisted upon the rlnl proceeding
ho would endeavor to procure another attorney
to take his .place. Those familinr with legnl
prnctlcts know well what that means, nml the
Distrltt Attorney, In view of tho statement of
the tprlvnte counsel for the prosecution, an
nounced that tho ense would go over until the
next term of court.

HELD FOR BURGLARY.
Alispnch and Zclliici (liven u Hearing and
Committed
List night William Anspach nnd William
Zolliicr, two of tho four men charged with
committing burglary at Sain Illock's clothing
store last Sunday morning, were given a
hearing beforo Justice Cardin. M. M. Iturke,
Esq., represented the accused and John
Whaieu, Esq., nppenred for tho Common
wealth. Patrick Hums and Itobert Gibson
were not present. Tho former had previous
ly been committed and put under 1,500 bail
for trial and Gibson stands committed.
Anspach and Zollner. it appears, set up n
claim that they woro lnuie und in bed from
11 o'clock on tho night preceding tho bur
glary antl at tho tluio y was committed.
Policemen Tosh nnd Stanton testified last
night reciting tho details as aheady pub
lished in the ImtALii and btauton sworo
positively that at about an hour beforo tho
burglary ho saw Anspach, Zollncr, liurns
and Gibson in a group in tho alley at the
rear of Goblin's clothing store. A bartender
in Schmickor's saloon named Knccht swore
that at about eleven o'clock Saturday night
Anspach left tho saloon saying ho was going
home, as lie felt ill, and Zollncr, Hums and
Gibson left about three-quarters ot an hour
later remarking that they nlso weru going
homo. Miss Nancy Anspach, a sister of one
of tho accused men, was present and said she
would swear that nt tlireo o'clock Suuday
morning, tho time tho burglary is alleged to
have been committed, her brother was at
homo and asleep in his bed, and she knew
this In cause ut that hour sho went into his
room and took a match fioiu his-pockct.
Justice Cardin said tho evidence was sulli
cient to hold tho accused and they wcro com
mlttcd to tholockup. This morning they woro
taken to tho PottsVlllo jail by Policemen Leo
and Goodman and their counsel will make
an application to tiio court for their admission
to bail pending trial. In discussing tho case
before Justice Cardin last night beforo the
commitment, Mr. Whaieu intimated that on
tho trial tho Commonwealth would show that
tho mysterious man known ns Meyors who
leased a small farm at East Mahanoy Junction
which had been shown to bo a "fence" was
none other than Anspach. Ho also intimated
that Anspach was tho fourth man implicated
witli Kline, Zollncr and Eowthcr lu tho
robbery in which Daniel E. Itrcunan lost
ifl,fe00 about four years ago.

Collection Made For the

Tho Union Thanksgiving services held In
tho Methodist Episcopal church this morning
wcro vers fmpressivo and interesting and
were attended by a largo assemblage repre
senting nil tho Protestant churches of the
town. liov. Alfred Heebner, pastor of tho
church, oiiened tiro service and prayer was
olfcrod by liev. I. J. Hciu, pastor ot
tho Hcthnny I'nlted Evangelical church,
after which Itcv. Itobert O'ltoylc, pastor
of the Trinity Reformed church, read
tho scripture lesson. After tho sermon
preached by Itcv. I). I. Evans, pastor or tho
Welsh llaptist church, Itcv. James Mooro,
pastor of the Primitive Methodist church,
otl'ercd prayer, which was followed by an
nuthem by tho choir under tho leadership of
Mr. J.J. Price. Itcv. Heebner then read an
appeal from tho l'ottsvlllo hospital and while
tho congregation sang a hymn a collection was
taken up for the benefit of the institution.
Tiio collectois wcro : Dr. G. V. Matter, of tho
Methodist Episcopal church ; John P.
Williams, of tho Welsh Itaptist chinch ;
Itobert A. Glover, of tho First Presbyterian
church, and It. Stocker, of tho Hcthnny
United Evangelical church. The closing
hymn of tho service followed.
Itcv. Evans delivered a sermon upon a tozt
taken from Exodus XIV ; 13 : "Speak Unto
tho Children of Israel, that they go forward."
Tho sermon was an able one and delivered
with equal ctTect. During tho discourse, Itcv.
Evans said ; "Never, perhaps, was tho
fortitude of man so severely tried as that of
Moses, tho Hebrew leader in this crisis, ex
posed as ho wns to various and inevitable
dangers, tho most formidable of which was
the veugeanco of a seditious nnd desperate
multitude. Hut his meek, unrulllcd and great
composure presents ono of the subllmest ex
amples of moral courage to be found in
history. And whence did ids courage arise?
Ho saw tho miraculous cloud stillncconipany
ing them and his confidence aroo solely from
tho hope of a Divine interposition, although,
perhaps, ho might have looked for the ex
pected deliverance in every quarter, rather
than in the direction of tho sea. The spot
where Pharoah and h is hosts oveitook
tho Israelites was near tho lied Sea.
Tho hearts of tlie people melted with fear.
Itefore them was a watery grave, behind
them a powerful army ready to destroy them.
Escape from both seemed impossible. Hut
what is impossible with men is possible witli
(.nil. .Moses turned to God in prayer. Tho
ellectunl fervent prayer of a righteous man
aVaiieth much." And the Loid said unto
Moses, 'Whcieforo eriest thou unto ineV
'Speak unto the children of Israel that they
go forward' and onward they went, God
opening a passage for them through tho
mighty waters, while Pharaoh and his host
woro overwhelmed by them, so that not one
of them remained to carry back tho tidings
of their complete ruin. Iiellovers nro on
their way to their heavenly Cannon. Enemies
will pursuo them, dillicultics oppose their
course, fears often intimidate tiiem, but the
Captain of our salvation has ono watchword
for all his folloncrs and it is contained in tho
text: "Go Forward." Our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ called upon disciples to practice
heroic virtue. They wero to follow tho foot
steps of their leader through evil and good
report, honor and dishonor. Nor wero they to
disregard only tho applauses and frowns of
tho world. They wero also to show an
attachment to tho interests of truth
and mankind, which was stronger
than all temporal consolations and would
even reconcilo them to tho most paiuful
death. What could induce tho Lord Jesus
Christ to expect that thpy should renounce
their ease, comfort and good name on His ac
count? And why Bhould they voluntarily
make such expensivo sacrifices? This,
surely, cannot bo accounted for upon any
other principle than a full conviction, both in
tho Master and in His disciples, of tho truth
of their cause. And if they were convinced
that their cause was true, wo also are con
strained to ackuowledgo tho truth of their
doctrines, unless, indeed, wo admit tho im
probable supposition, that thcywcredecciving
themselves witli respect to tho facts of whicli
they had the clearest evidence of their own
concurring senses. Hence it appears that the
state of silllcring in which Jesus and His
apostles wore placed is a powerful argument
to prove the truth of tho religion which they
taught. Hence, also, do wo discover the
meaning of tho Apostolic oxclnmation, 'God
forbid that I should glory, wvo in tho cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom tho
world is crucified to mo, and 1
unto tho world.' Tho advice the
Lord Josus Christ gavo his disciples
is tills, 'And I say uuto you, my friends, lie
not afraid of them that kill the body, and
after that have no more than they can do.
Hut I will forewarn you whom yo shall fear ;
Fear him which, after lie hath killed, hath
power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you,
four him.' Jesus Christ nulls upon all his
disciples to practice heroic deeds and virtues
His word of command to-day is 'Fear not:
Go Forward.' First, the command here
given: Tlie roasou wo should obey this oom
luiuicl is that God is tho spoaker. Ho com
mands. The command here given "Go Fur
ward." We miist go forward in tho iwth that
loads to God and eternal life. We must go
forward iu a diligent search for knowledge.
