The Vest Mahanoy Case

AffAln Before
WILL GO TO THE JURY THIS EYENING
School Teachers, Directors, Contractors and
Others Tell What They Know About
Township School Affalrs-The
Defendant on the Stand
ThU Afternoon.
Tlio enso of tlio Commonwealth against
J. Jerome O'Neill, charged with libel on oath
of P. J. Ferguson, president of the Sehool
Hoard of Wost Mahanoy township, was called
lata yesterday aftornoon, and will closo this
evening. Judgo Savidge mado this an
nounccmont this morning, stating that ho
must be at homo to-morrow as his own court
opens on that day.
Martin JIcLain, school director of West
Mahanoy township, followed Mr. Colo as
a witness. Uo testified that tlio contract for
tho upper Win. Pcnn school building was not
given to the highest biddor. Thoro was ono
hlghor bidder than Tim. Mahoncy, tho one
who got tho contract. Mahoncy always
gave satisfaction, and that was the reason he
got the contract. Witness had no knowledge
of incompetency on tho part of any of tho
bidders who didn't get tlio contract. Tlio
contract for the Colorado building was given
to Uallagliur & Doo because they included a
porch and painting, Witness did not know
whctlicr thero wero any extras, lie would
not swear thoro were none.
At this point Mr. Marr raised the point
that Jw could not sco tho reason for Inquiring
as to extras. Judge Suvidgo thought the lino
of examination pruporas bearing upon that
part of tlio libelous articlo which alleged that
Uoublo the amount of bids had been drawn
through orders.
Continuing witness tostlfied that ho never
instructed tho secretary of tho School Hoard
to draw orders for tho teachers' institute pay
and give them to him, witness. They wero
not given to him to his knowledge. I don't
know that I took back on institute order
drawn in favor of Miss Jennie Ilcaton and
putting It back in tho book. The only Insti
tute orders I received wero those I cashod as
treasurer. I got somo from tho teachers aud
Mr. Gallagher, ono of the teachers, brought
a batch of ordors to my house. I can't say
whoso orders they wero.
Mr. Whalon : Do you rcnicnibor, about two
years ago, paying a freight bill of $3.45 and,
in turning It over to the Hoard and getting
credit from tho Hoard, as Treasurer, you
changed tho bill to make It read $310?
No, sir. ,
Did it read $340 ?
No, sir.
Don't you remember anything about that
transaction.
No, sir; Ihatnintso.
Don't you remember that Mr. James F.
Gallagher threatened to havo tho Board ar
rested at that timo on account of It.
No. sir.
Did Miss I'llio Garvoy, now Mrs. Cava
uaugb, givo you money to procure her a placo
as a teacher?
Never in my life, as I can recollect.
Did sho not givo your wife.
Never directly, or indirectly, to ray knowl
edge. Did you not, as secretary of tho School
Board, chango the minuto book so as to make
your son's salary fl3, instead of $35 per
month ?
No, sir; novcr. I refer you to tho minutes.
Why havo you posted yourself about these
minutes?
Bocauso I was told that some parties had
said I had raised my son's salary, without
consent of tho Board. My son's salaiy was
advanced according to his advance in tho
grade of teaching.;
Don't you know that the Board advertised
for P. & It. coal because tho haul from the
P. & It. collieries was so long that local
haulers would not hid ; and that after Carey
got tho contract ho didn't supply P. & R.
coal, hut Wm. Penu and other coal which
was more convenient to tho schools?
I couldn't say where ho got his coal.
John F. Finney was culled to the stand
and stated ho was manager of tho Miners'
Journal. J. Jerome O'Neill, the defendant.
has furnished tho paper with items of news
occasionally from Lost Creek. Ho was not
tho regular correspondent. Wo had uo regu
lar correspondent there. O'Neill received no
pay for nows he furnished. I authorized tlio
publication of tho retraction of tho article
on which the libel suit is based.
Anthony O'Donnell, of Lost Creek. I
have known defendant O'Neill since boy
hood. I heard O'Neill say about two months
ago, since this snitwas started, that ho would
get square with Ferguson before he would
dlo. IIo also said soma timo during the past
summer that ho thought Ferguson put
Murphy up to Jiavo O'Neill arrested in a suit
that Murphy brought against O'Neill.
Andrew J. Murphy, of Lost Creek swore:
I havo known O'Neill, the defendant, since
boyhood. When I worked for O'Neill about
two years ago ho told rao I was foolish to go
to Ferguson's saloon, as Forguson was only
good for himself and nobody else. He told
mo about his sister being knocked out of a
sehool. Ho Bald Ferguson fixed It up with
County Superintendent Weiss, so that his
sister could not get a certificate. Ho said he
would get rovonge. O'Neill told Mrs. Franey
at Shenandoah that ho was glad Forguson
had been defeated in an olection.
On cross examination witness admitted
that lie bad trouble with O'Neill a few
months ago; O'Neill owed him money and
hadn't paid him yet. They also had trouble
about tools.
You proseeuted O'Neill for larceny and lost
the suit? Objected to and objection sus
tained. Mr. Ferguson did not encourage me to sue
O'Neill and I was never offered money to do
so. I did not toll O'Neill I was offered to do
Mr. .Whalen : How old are you ?
I don't exactly remember how old I am.
Are you 40?
No, sir.
Aro you 20 ?
Yes, sir ; I guess about SC. I havo always
lived in Lost Creek.
THE DKFKNSK.
After tlits witness left the stand the Com
monwealth called fur Ileber S.Thompson,
William H. Lewis und K. 0. Wagner, but
they did not respond. The Commonwealth
then rested and S. U. Kaereher, Esq., opened
lor the ueiense, stating that O'NMll didn't
publish the article complained of, or cause or
ask its publication, and that ho simply gave
Information to Jacob S. Foster, of the
Minors' Journal, by telephone. In answer to
questions and only what had been common
talk through the township, and that the de
fendant didn't know that what he whs giv
ing Mr. Foster would bo published. Mr.
Kaereher also promised to lay before the
Jury pvldcneo of the nets in West Mahanoy
township upon which the talk through tho
township was based.
Tho first witness called for tho defenco wns
Miss Bridgot L. Burke, of Brownsville, who
testified that sho was a teacher In the public
schools of West Mahanoy township for four
yenrs up to the closo of the term for 18U5.
Sho remembered about tho timo of tlio pub
lication of tho articlo in question.
Mr. Kaorcheri Before that had you heard
talk In West Mahanoy township about Insti
tute orders being collected for the benefit of
iiio ouiiooi uireciorsT
Yes, sir.
Was tho talk openly and commonly among
tho peoplo?
Yos, sir.
Did you attend Institute during tho terms
you wore employed as teacher?
Yos, sir ; four tlmos.
What became or tho orders drawn in your
lavor for your pay while in attendance at
county Instituto?
Messrs. Wadllnger and Marr mado a vigor
ous fight against this question, but Judgo
savidge allowed tho witness to answor. She
said: Ono instituto ordor I cashed and re-
celvod the money ; ono I never saw and two
I endorsed and sent to u teaohor."
To what teacher?
Mr. M. It. Carey.
How did you happen to send them to Mr.
Carey?
I received a note atone time and at another
o message from tho tenchor.
What was tho inf stage?
Ono I don't remember : but somethliir con-
corning campaign. fund was iu It.
Wlioe campaign fund ?
For tho olection or the School Directors.
And you turned In your twoordersfor that
purpose at tlio request of Mr. Carey?
les, sir.
What became of the order that never
reached you ? -
I suppose it went into tlio campaign fund,
fiom a conversation I had after with Mr.
Carey.
What did ho tell you?
Something about this camnalim fund that
they wero giving the Instituto orders to it.
On cross-oxHinlnatlou by Mr. Marr Miss
Burko said sho remembered talkinc to Mr.
O'Nuil! about tho matter.
Do you know, of your own knowledge.
that any director gotauy of your Instituto
orders?
Only a remark Mr. Coyle, n director, mado
to me. He told mo that McLain told him to
write out tho Institute orders that they
wanted them.
Didn't Carey toll you the teachers wanted
to get up a campaign fund to take arrlntorest
m the election ?
I don't remember what ho said. I remem.
bor something being mentioned concerning
a campaign fund and tlio election of the
directors. I am a slstor of Mr. Burke, the
counsol for tho township, and sister-in-law of
Director Ikiylo. Mr. Carey, the teacher, is a
brother-in-law of Mr. Ferguson.
Mrs. Ella Cavanaugh, of Gllbcrton. was
tho noxt witness. Sho taught school in West
Mahanoy township eight terms.
Mr. Kaereher i Before you were annotated
did you know Director McLain?
1 CS, sir. -rrrt
Tell us how manr times yon attended
county Instituto?
I attended every1 jcar I was tremblim
eignt umes, -1 ;
Tull tho Jury whether you received tin
orders for your time In alte'iidlng-lnstituto?
Iho last tlino.terms I didn't.
Ouco Mr. Cnroy called mo to his school and
asked mo If 1 would endorso my instituto
order that they were having a camnalen
fund to help the directors out: that tho di
rectors had been spending long enough. I
paid money to Mrs. McLnin, wife of ono of
tho directors.
Was Mr. McLain In the room at the timo?
To tho best of my knowledge ho was In tho
room when I paid his wife $45.
You received a school after?
Yos, sir.
Was It in consideration of Mr. McLain so-
curing you a school ?
ics, sir.
Did you havo any conversation with Mrs.
McLain?
To tho best of my knowledge I said to Mrs.
McLain that I gave lior $25 and I might as
well givo her tho $45.
That mado $70 in all ?
Yes, sir. I endorsed thrco institute orders
and gave them to Mr. Cary, Miss Noon and
Mr. Uaungher. My 1805 order I gave to
Miss Noon, a slstcrof ono of tho directors.
Did Miss Noon ask If you wero willing to
contribute?
Yes, sir.
Judge Savidge: You wero in politics?
Yos, sir; It was necessary.
Mr. Marr: And you wore willing to help
tho sido win that would givo you an appoint
ment? Ycb, sir.
Miss Rose RolIIy, of Brownsville, was noxt
called to tho stand. Sho testified that sho
taught Bchool for six terms and attended
county institute each year. Sho testified
that sho recolvod the ordors for her pay, but
not tho.valuo of thom.
What did you do with them ?
I gavo them to the collector.
Who was he ?
I don't renumber. Tknre ware two. Tho
last one I believe was Mr. Oallaghor, the
principal teacher.
Tall ns whether or not Director Doulan.
one of the parties presto t, didn't UU you
that yon were refused a school because you
were not liberal enough? Objected to and
ejection sustained.
On cross-examination the witness was
asked if she endorsed tho instituto ordors
willingly and said tho last timo sho didn't.
Tho prinoipal reason fur her unwillingness
on tho last occasion was that tho directors
had no opposition for election that year.
She told tho collector that thoy could keep
tho money thoy held for two days from hor,
but sho objected to giving the order for the
institute pay.
Do you know what Gallagher did with the
monoy?
I'suppose it wont into tho campaign fund.
The next year I didn't get a school. I
taught first iu 1860 and for six successive
years. For three years I gave tho orders.
The last year I objected.
Riohard C. Joyce, called to tho stand testi
fied that he was a teacher in tho West Maha
noy township schools six years. Ho stopped
teaching in 1888. He attended tho county
institnte flvo years. Dldu't attend in the
last year. Ho received instituto orders lor
tlio flvo years ho attended. Ho gave up the
last two orders ho received, ono to M. II.
Carey and the next to Jamoi F. Gallagher.
Both were school teachers and representatives
of the School Board.
For what purpose did you givo up the
orders?
To further the election of the School
Directors to get them In oltlce.
Tell us what happened with reference to
tho lost Institute you didn't attend, for
whlah no order was drawn?
I was asked to contribute ten dollars. I

Wllkesbarro, Pa,, Sept 24 Sheriff
Martin and his CI deputies were given
a preliminary hearing before the oourt
yesterday charged with the killing of
24 striking: miners near Lattlmer on
Friday, Sept. 10. The deputies were
brought up from Hazleton under mili
tary eeoort. A large crowd met them
at the depot, but they proceeded unmo
lested to the oourt house.. Judges
Lynch and Bennett presided. Judge
Lynch announced that the judges would
Bit as justices of the peace to hear tes
timony In the case. John M. Garman
opened for the prosecution, and stated
that he was omployed to Investigate
the shooting at Lattlmer and Inquire
If the sheriff and his deputies were jus
tified In killing 24 men. He began by
referring to "Dictator Gobln," who re
fused to allow the deputies to be ar
rested when warrants wero Issued ten
days ago. The attorney also referred
to Coroner McKee being a major In tho
Ninth regiment, and his manner of pro
ceedure In the arrest of the deputies,
unu iu nis uringing mem nere sur
rounded by a military company with
guns and bayonets. Mr. Garman then
made a motion asking that the war
rants of 'Squire Gorman be given the
preference, and that the deputies be
remanded to the regular officers of the
law.
Attorney John McGahren supported
the plea of Mr. Garman, and said;
"Will your honor allow a military oin
cer to overawe the civil authorities?
As I understand It, the military au
thorities are subservient to the au
thority of the civil law."
Judge Lynch replied that the Judges
did not act hastily, but Issued the war
rants after due deliberation. The judge
said that this hearing has nothing to
do with the conduct of General Go-
bin. The court said that the witnesses
who wore not present should be brought
In, and that the hearing could be pro
ceoaeu witn with such witnesses as
were present. Attorneys Garman and
McGahren then notified the court that
they would withdraw from the case.
District Attorney Fell then took charge.
Sheriff Martin wosyonted at the de
fendant's table, sun. by three
lawyers. - -
John Welsh, of Hazleton, was the first
witness. He declared that when the
strikers started out somo of them car
ried clubs, but upon his advice they
threw them away. Walsh got on a car
going to Lattlmer, nnd Deputy Ed
Turnbach, who got on the car, said:
"I don't know what tho sheriff means
by taking us around like this without
ordering us to shoot." Welsh then de
tailed the meeting of deputies and
strikers, declaring that after a slight
scuffle between Deputy Hess and a
striker some one shouted "Fire." Then
followed a shot, then another, and then
a regular volley. The strikers began
to run, but the deputies kept on shoot
ing for Ave minutes. A few minutes
later Deputy William Bought deliber
ately shot at a man running through
the woods.
Jonathan Llchensbergor, a Hazleton
contractor, testified that Sheriff Mar
tin had a scuffle with the strikers, who
prevented him from using his revolver.
Then the shooting began.
Charles Gussrott, the school teacher
at Lattlmer, gave Important testimony
for the commonwealth. '
At this Juncture, In response to a
question, Judge Lynch said that each
man would be required to give ball In
the sum of $4,000 or else go to jail.
Joseph A. Sinn, trust officer of the City
Trust Safe Deposit and Surety com
pany, of Philadelphia, gave ball for
all of the deputies, the amount required
being $256,000.
After further testimony the court ad
journed until today.
It Is doubtful If the evidence submit
ted will be strong enough to hold tho
defendants for court. No witness has
yet testified that Sheriff Martin ordered
the deputies to shoot. The withdrawal
Bf Attorneys Garman and McGarhen
also weakens the case of the prosecu
tion. Peace has been restored In the an
thracite region and nearly every col
liery therein worked yesterday. In
cluded In these were the Lehigh and
Wtlkesbarre company's Audenrled
mines, employing 2,600 men. The Btrlke
was practically Inaugurated by them,
and their return to work on Monday
caused a stampede of the other strik
ers. Yesterday, however, the griev
ance committee of the Audenrled men
waited upon Superintendent Lawall,
and complained that they are receiv
ing less than the men at any. other col
llery in the region. He told them to

fearing to return. A squadron of cal
vary was sent over for protection, and
about halt of the workers went back.
Coroner MrlCee'a Inquest will begin
at Hasleton at o'clock this afternoon.
The Bvans breaker of A. S. Van
Winkle & Co., operated by Kennedy A
Warner, at Dearer Meadow, four miles
from Hasleton, was burned to the
ground last night. The operators are
convinced that It was Incendiary. The
loss will be about $80,000. The breaker
has been Idle since noon last Tuesday,
not as a consequence of the strike, but
on account of a lack of water. Tap
ping for water was to have begun to
day, and the breaker would have re
sumed work Immediately. The flames
srlglnaed at the top of the breaker, 80
feet above the ground. About 60 men
were employed In the breaker and sev
ral hundred In the mines oonnected
with It. All these men have been
working continuously since the Lattl
mer shooting. They were driven out on
two occasions about two weeks ago by
bands of strikers from Coleratne. but
returned afterwards. There is a well
founded theory that women had a
hand In the fire, as one was heard to
say yesterday: "If we can't get the
men out we'll fix It so that they cant
get In."
General Gobln knew none of the de
tails of the fire until told by a news
paper correspondent. He said: "If they
are beginning to apply the torch the
situation is grave Indeed. They are
di Ing the very thing that will prevent
mem working or obtaining the redress
they are asking. You see, they have
selected the breaker farthest awav
from my troops. The nearest soldiers
to that point are those of the Twelfth
regiment. To reach there the men will
have to march. There Is no means of
transportation."
Asked the effect of the fire upon the
proposed withdrawal of the militia, the
brigade commander said:
"The troops cannot be moved while
they are burning breakers. There Is
the danger of Imitation In other sec
tions." General Gobln sent a detachment of
cavalry to the burned breaker this
morning.
General Gobln this morning made
the revelation that for some days he
has been In receipt of anonymous let
ters warning him that the breakers
would be burned. The handwriting and
construction, he said, Indicated that
they were written by persons with
some education. Ho Ignored them be
cause they were anonymous.
