Dee, was called for trial before Judgo uecntel at 2:19 o clock yesterday afternoon. John F. Whalen, Esq., of Pottsville; Mo- iicnry Williclm, Esq., of Ashland, and D. M. Kaorcher, Esq., of rottsvllle, appeared for tho Commonwealth, and the dsfendants were represented by W. A. Marr. Esq.. of Ashland, Goorgo Wadlinger, Esq., of rotts vllle, and M. M. Burko, Esq. At4:23p. m. tho following Jury was so- cared : William K. Kociier, West Pcnn, carpen ter. John K. IIousrb, Tauiaqua, carpenter. Jacod O. Snyder. Brunswick Township. farmer. Wellington IIeim.

Arthur Whomsley. Shenandoah, en gineer. II. C. DeHaven, Mlnersvillo, laborer. Samuel Bowman, Hubloy township. miner. Michael Moliok, Fottsvillc, laborer. Mr. Whalen opened tho case for the Com monwealth flvo minutes after tho jury was selected. lie commenced his address to tho jury by reviewing tho contents of tho lengthy bill of Indictmont, which covers 107 type written pages. In his remarks Mr. Whalen covered much of the ground re viewed in the O'Neill libel case, Btating that the Commonwealth would show that the school teachers did not receive orders for their salaries at certain periods, and that their orders for pay for attending tho county institute wcro withheld. Also that tho sec retary of tho School Board was paid more money than ho was legally ontltled to, and that In various other ways tho indictod School Directors illegally withhold and ap propriated money on several occasions for tbc-purposo of securing and holding political influenco that would result in their re election to the School Board, and keeping them there. Tho object of tho prosecution, Mr. Whalen concluded, was to show tho de fendants and all others in oflico that a public office Is a public trust and cannot be used with impunity as a sourco of private gain. I'. J, Magulre, of West Mahanoy township. said he would bo 23 years old next May. Ho worked for tho School Board of that district, taking books away from tho school houses at the end of tho school terms this and last year, and distributing books at the school opening. Ho used a team that belonged to. P. M. Noon (one of tho School Directors) and family. The team and wagon did not belong to Noon, any more than to the family. Noon and the witness aro cousins. Maguiro said he received his Instructions to work from tho secretary of the Board and sometimes from Noon. Witness had no contract for hauling tho books. lie also hauled tho school sup plies to and from tho school buildings. When asked concerning order No. 101 dated Oct. 3, 1600, to his order for $35 for hauling books, witness said ho thought ho wroto out an itemized bill for the amount, but could not tell where tho bill is no. Ho gavo the bills to Noon to be taken to tho School Board meeting, and sometimes Noon wroto out tho bills. Was not this order of Oct. 3. 1S00, for the carting of books to the schools 1 To and from the schools, I guess. Witness was then required by Mr. Whalen to detail just what time was required in tho work of taking books to and from tho schools and tho witness said that if tho books were packed tboy could be baudled in a day. hut If unpacked two days would be required. That was for taking the books away from tho schools. To distribute them would take two days also and both branches of the work would consume four days at tho outside. Did you put in a bill for four days? I put In a bill for what I worked. You said that at the ouUldo It only took you four days? But tho new books came in during that time. How many did you take that year The amount of days I put In, I guess. How many? I don't Just remember. This line of examination was conducted by Mr. Whalen for some timo without auy ap parent discrepancy appearing and Mr. Whalen bunched orders No. 101 of Oct. 8, 1800, for $86, order No. 158, Noy. 7, 1800, for $8, and order No. 443. May 1. 1807. for to. making a total of f 18 for hauling in the school term beginning Juno 1, 1807, and thon asked witness what work he did for the amount. Tbe witness replied that In addi tion to the Hauling of books he hauled all kinds of school supplies, such as chalk, buckets, scuttles, etc. The witness bad testified that he was raised by tho Noon family. When asked what dis position, he made of the (18 worth of orders he received he said be gave some of the money to Miss Annie Noone, in fact he gave her an wit fo ti the money, wwou he kept as spending money. Miss Noon is a school teacher, lie gave the money to her In pre ference to her mother because she was in charge of the house. School Director Noon brought the money on tbe orders from the School Board to McOulrc, Noon went around on the wagon with McQuIre when the former was secretary of tho Board. Witness said he never received an order for (7,30 for labor and material, Issued March 0, 1807, and never did auy labor around tbe schools except to deliver and collect sohool books and supplies. When oouit opened this morning Mr, Whalen called Thomas E. Flannlgau one of the defendant School Directors, to the stand Mr. Marr asked the object of calling Mr. Flannlgau and Mr. Whalen replied that It was for tbe purpose of examining blm as to or' , .. Issued in his name. Upon this statement Mr. Marr objected on the around that Mr Flannlgau was a defendant and could not bo called by the prosecution. Judge Ilechtet sustained the objection and Mr. Flannlgan retired. Mr. Whalen then offered In evidence tfre 1800 assessment of West Mahanoy Township, showing two horses assessed as the property or P.
