Pottsville, Nov. SO. Tho misdemeanor
case sgalnst tho School Directors of West
Malianoy Township entered upon its third
day this morning with about seventy prin
cipals, witnesses aud lawyers interested In
attendance. Considering the nature of the
case the Commonwealth is progressing at
good speed, but the trial must run ovnr into
next week, aud some of the counsel seem to
think that it may possibly extend to the
latter part of the week. Interest In the case
increases each day and the spectators are
multiplying, although nothing of what may
bo termed a sensational character has thus far
dovoloped. It is tho opinion of many who
'avo given the case attention, however, that
counsel for the prosecution have thus far
succeeded In placing some of tho School
Directors in a light that leads oue to reflect
upon the provision of the school laws which
prohibits School Directors from receiving re
muneration directly, or indirectly. It is also
thought by many that tho School Board will
bavo to purge itself of auy responsibility for,
or acquiesenco in over charges for material.
For instance, a witness from Lost Creek paid
only 40 cents for window glass of the same
size that a witness from liaveu Kun charged
75 cents for. Tbo board passed the bill and
asked no questions. From statements made
last evening, However, It appears that tho
defendants are not worried by any of the
testimony thus far adduced and that they are
confident of beiugable to fully explain any
discrepancies that have or may appear. On
mo omer uanu, Messrs. Whalen, iiaercher
and Wilbelm smiled when they heard of this
confidence, but said nothing. One of these
gentlemen was heanl significantly remark
ing yesterday, "They seem to bo very confident."
lho most damaging witness to tbo deCentm
yesterday was that of Michael Carey. Sr.,
tuo coal hauler, ana it is there, no doubt,
where tho prosecution is collie to lv inun
dation for ouo of its strong points. This
was evidenced towards tho close of yester
day's session, when Mr, Whalen commenced
to call witness to show how much coal Mr.
Carey really purchased and furnished to tho
school district under liis $030 or $700 contract.
tin mis point Mr. uary was quite vague It
is understood the Commonwealth still has
about forty witnesses to call.
Patrick McGratb, carpenter, residing at
Lost Creek, was among tbo witnesses called
yesterday for tho prosecution. Ho is married
to a sister of tho late Martin E. Dixon.
Order No. 41 was drawn In his favor on Sep
tember 6, 16U0, for $32.55, Ho said it was in
payment or labor aud material. lie fixed
doors and porches and cleaned tho yard of
tno ijost t;rceK scnool bantling, no was
school janitor and at the samo time worked
in tho mines. His salary as janitor was $1
poruiouth. Hemadoa charge for 10 days
woik, but on the witness stand could only
account for 0 days. lie said bo guessed he
did 10 days' work, but could not remember.
He can't read or write He couldn't remem
ber what ho did for order of Dec. 1800. for
L$!i0 50, but afterwards said au item of $15 was
tur janitors' services tor a year and a hair.
Ho said he received payment of tho order iu
cash. Mr. Whalen called attention to the
fact that on the back of tbo order was the
endorsement "paid by cheok." Witness
couldn't remember what work he did for
order No. 305 of Mar 0, 1607, for $7 30. Ho
first said P. M. Noon paid him tho money on
the order, but subsequently stated that
Martin McLaln paid him. Mr. Wlialen
called attention to the endorsement "Fatilck
McGratb. per P. J. Foreuson." on tho back
of the order. WitnosB would not say that ho
over saw the order before it was shown him
in court. McGratb said ho did the repair
work at the school houses when the collieries
wero idle and after returning home at nlcht.
On cross-examination by Mr. Wadlinger
witness said for the last four years he has
worked as carpenter at the Lehigh collieries
and that ho has done repairs at tho school
bouses for tbo past ton years. Thomas
Dixon, a school teacher boards with witness.
McGratb said he performed all tho work and
supplied materials to the amount of all the
bills ne presented to tne uoaru, anu tnat ins
labor and materials wero necessary. Repairs
aro frequently occasioned by the sinking of
tho ground s sunace about the school build
ings, duo to the workings in the mines. Mc
Gratb explained that he was not the janitor
of tho Lost Creek school building, biit only
of the Directors' room. He said ho made a
mlstako on his direct examination when ho
testified the $15 item was 18 months' service
as janitor. It was on account of that service
anu tho full amount duo was $18 for the
period. When ho needed lumber for the
school repairs he bought It from. Michael
Moon, a brother or the Bchool Director, but
bo did not do so because P. M. Noon was a
Director. Ho bought lumber from Michael
Noon before the tatter's brother became a
Director aud bought lumber for his own
house from Michael, who la a dealer in
lumber.
Ou re-direct examination by Mr. Whalen,
Modrnth said he was olected janitor by the
School Board. P. J. Ferguson asked him to
tako the position. He couldn't say when that
was. or how long bo had been aclinc as
janitor. Ho didn't know who fixed his
salary, umui Know wnen tne wages were
talked about in that connection.
You told Mr. Wadlinger that everything
in au your puis was correct?
Yes. sir.
Then why couldn't you tell this jury, when
1 asked you, what you did during the ten
daysr
I couldn't remember exactly.
Henry Joyce was next called. He lives at
Raven Run and is a brother-in-law to Tbos.
E. Flauigan. Witness is a laborer and has
got soveial orders cashed for fixing doors.

amount. The work was done at intervals.
Charged pi per nay for his wort. He was
gettine f 1 25 a day for ills work at the cob
liery. Witness was. shown a bill and said he
thought it was iu his handwriting. He
guessed it was for that bill that he received
order .no. sm. The Items on the bill amount'
ed to 130.05.
How does it oonie that you get an order
for $80.05 ?

time?
I don't know whether I did. or not
Witness said he paid Deddalt A Bra.. 75
cents each for panes of window glass 18x84
used in the Raven Run building. McQrath
had sworn that he paid 40 cents a pane for
class of tbc same size. Mr. Wbaleu wanted
to know the reason for the difference, bat
witness said he didn't know, only that lie
had been cbaraed the amount.

You have In your bill two locks. What did
yon pay for them ?
Twenty-five cents each, I believe.
Yonr bill says 50 cents each.
Well, I guess I paid 50 cents each then.
Were yon ever called upon by Thomas E.
Flanlgan, or any other member of tbe School
Board, to explain any item of either of these
two bills 1
No, sir.
You charged $2 per day for working at the
school bouse five days 7
Yes, sir.
Did you work auy harder there than at the
mines?
No, sir.
Yet, you only got $1.85 a day at tbe mines T
Yes, sir.
On cross-examination hy Mr. Marr witness
said he did not oharge extravagant prices be
cause he was working tor the sohool district.
Joseph Donlan next called, but railed to
respond. Order made that he appear in the
morning.
Frank Oarvoy, R. H. Cox and M. Donahue
also called and failed to respond.
John Haulev responded when Mr. Whalen
called his name. Lives at Wm. Pen n. Miner
by occupation, not a carpenter. I did work
tor west Mauanoy township.
Did you over get an order for the work you
did for the school district?
Yes, sir.
Did you put in a bill for tbe work t
Yes, sir.
You never cot an older and never endorsed
an ordor?
No, sir.
Mr. Whalen : I produce order No. 153, Nov.

school. It is endorsed "John Hanley, per
P. J. F." Mr. Hanley who made out this
bill? asked Mr. Whalen, producing a paper.
i aon i kuow.
Do you know how much that bill is ?
No, sir.
Do you know it was for $10.05 ?
I don't remember.
If your bill was $10.05 and you got an
ordor for $11, how do you account for that?
I don't know anything about that. What
I sent in I got paid for.
Then it you Bent iu a bill calling lor $lu.Uo,

Who gave you tho money?
Some times P. J. Ferguson.
Whero?

OPINION BY ATTORNEY GENERAL I

in Full Blast.
He Says the United States AS Supreme
Within Its Sphere of Aotfcn, and a
Postmaster Is Not Required to
Pay a Tax Upon Ills

I
Washington, rfov. W. The laaue as
to whether a. state or municipality oan
levy an income tax on the salary or
compensation of a poatmaster, a sub
ject of broad interest to the federal
service generally, waa decided yester
day in an opinion rendered by Acting
Assistant Attorney General Harrison J.
Barrett, for the postofflce depaTfoient.
The case arose on an Inquiry front the
postmaster at Oastonia, N. C. It Is
held that a state has no authority to
tax the emoluments paid to any offi
cers or agents which the United States
may "use and employ as necessary and
proper means to execute Its sovereign
power." Mr. Barrett says: "The gov
ernment of the United States Is su
preme within its sphere of action, and
any act of the state or municipality
which attempts to tax the emoluments
paid to the officers of the government
is unconstitutional and void. The post
master at Gastonia cannot be required
to pay a tax uyon the income of his
office either to the state of North Caro
lina or to the municipality of Gastonia."
I got that one time.
Tbe
en you didn't get the amouut of this
order $80.85?
Yes, air; I got that at another time.
Mr. Whalen then produced a bill for $10.35
and order No. 95, Dec, 5, 1808, for $15.35.
Witness wasn't sure whether he put iu
more than these two bills.
Order No. 05 was endorsed "II. Joyce per
T. E. F." Witness didu't know the hand-
Mr. Whalen had conducted the lattor part of
his examination bo stricken out, as thero was
nothing in tho indictment concerning it.
Judgo Bechtol granted the motion.
Joseph ueddall called to testily in regard
to orders issued to Michael Gary, Sr. Mr.
ISeddall lives nt Win. Penn and is employed
as bookkeeper for the Wm. Penn Coal Com
pany, lie said tho amount charged agaiust
tbe township school board for coal delivered
to Michael Carey, Sr., between September 25,
1S0U, to Mar. 11, 1807, was $05.05,
Witness said on cross examination by Mr".
Wadlinger ho never issued coal orders to
Caroy written on pieces of blasting paper.
Jio could not tell whether John 11., or John
M. Hughes, other clerks in the otfico, had
issued such orders. The prices of coal change
at times.
J. J. O'Neill was called. He testified that
he was time keeper and clerk in tho Lehigh
Valloy Coal Company's olllcs at Lost Creek.
Between Sent. 25. 1880. and Mar. 20. 1887.
thero was purchased by tho West Malianoy
Township nt the oilice 03 tons of coal to tbe
amouut of'$144.74.
Tho examination on coal purchases was
directed to show bow much coal was pur
chased for the West Mabanoy Township
during the time Michael Carey had the con
tract for coal hauling.
William Buckley, of Raven Run, outside
foreman at Oirard Manor colliery, testified
that from Sept. 20, 1800, to March 15, 1387,
West Mabanoy Township was furnished with
$13.50 worth of coal and that was all that
was furnished Mr. Carey during that period.
