Fate of the Township Directors In tbe
Hands of tbe Jury.
COUNSEL MAKE THEIR ADDRESSES
Mr. Wadllnger Opens For the Accused
Directors and Was Followed by Mr.
Wbalen For the Prosecution.
Jury Deliberating.
Special to ltVRNljm llmui.n.
Poltsvllle. Nov. VI. No little Burnrise was
occasioned by the sudden resting of the de
fense In tho West Mahanoy Township case
yesterday afternoon. John F. Wbalen,
Esq.: counsel for the Commonwealth, was
wholly unprepared for it. The "we rest"
from Mr. Wndllugcr and "Any rebuttal?"
from Judge liecbtel seemed U fait like two
claps of thunder upon the ears of the bril
liant lawyer who has made out of the ease nil
that any lawyer could with the material at
hand.
When Mr. Whaleu said be was obliged to
ask time until this morning to put iu re
buttal ovldeuco, becauso nono of tho wit
nesses to be used wero present, Judge liecbtel
did not fall to hido his impatience. Ills
Honor declared that tbe case had interfered
enough with tho civil court aud be did pro
pose to have it run into next week. sir. Marr
throw In a few words on tho same strain,
saying "Wo cut our defense short for tho
very purposo of closing tho case .this week,
and getting rid of it."
Mr. Wbalen felt piqued by this remarked
and retorted, "You bad other reasons for
cutting yon case short, and 1 know it." Mr.
Wbalen then stated to the court that he re
gretted the situation as much as the court,
but it could not have been anticipated. He
felt sure that in an hour or so he could get
In all the rebuttal.
"What do you want to prove?" asked the
court.
"Wo propose to contradict these defendants
on material points," replied Mr. Wbalen.
On what points?" interposed Mr. Wad-
linger.
'On the question of money given to them,
and also on the subject of character." Mr.
Whaicn answered.
Judgo Bochtoh Wo willmcot heropromptly
at niuo o'clock to-morrow morning, ready or
not ready with witnesses, and go ou until
this case is ended. I will not run this court
into next week, if wo have to' bold a night
session to cud it. I am determined that thi;
case shall not break up the civil list noxt
week. Now, bow much time do you want
forsummlug up? Will an hour each do?
Mr. Wadllnger (sharply) No I
Judgo Bochtcl : Then an hour and a half?
Mr. Marr: O, two hours, your Honor,
ploaso?
Judgo Bechtel (warmly) : Cicntleincu, you
aro punishing somo of tho jurors in tliiscase.
I have been appealed to by jurors in this
caso. You can go on punlsiuug tnem an you
liko. I am not being punished.
It was finally agreed that ouch side take an
hour and a half.
Then Mr. Marr asked tho couit to direct
that tho Commouwealth flrstaddross the jury
and outliuo what tho defense must answer In
tho summing up. This is the practice in
Philadelphia, be said.
Judgo Bochtel said bo wuuld havo no ob
jections to that course, but if the counsel for
tho Commonwealth objected bo would make
no direction, but allow tho practice of tbe
Schuylkill county courts to prevail, Mr.
Wbalen objected.
Before leaving tbe witness stand yesterday
Director McLaln said, In answer to Mr. Marr,
that ho heard that the School Directors of
airardvillo got paid for attending the annual
meeting ot me uirectors' association anu
Major R. C. Wagner was a member of tho
Board. Ho also understood it was tbo cus
tom of tho Ashland and Qlrardville Boards.
Mr. Wbalen : Did you make inquiries as
to what districts paid directors for attending
county Institute?
I may havo.
If you thought it was right what diflerouce
did It make to you whether other places did
It, or not?
It was after that I inquired, 1 had hoard

present treasurer of the Board the witness
said he redeemed the Flannigau $75 order.
Mr. Whaleu : When was it paid ?

were very good." Tbe lest of theoxamiua

of Lost Creek, testified in a similar manner,
with the exception kof bis answers to the
"boodlers" questions by Mr. Whaleu, when
tbe witness said : "That has beau a charge

bear that talk almost all tbe time. I bave
also beard the rumors about tbe institute

BUT SHE MAY TESTIFY LATER!
Tbe Prlserjer's Ccunsel Declares He
"More Than Positive" That the Jury
Will Aeqult His Client When
All the Evidence Is
Presented.
New York, Nov. 27. Lawyers Itowe
and Moss, wrvo have dillg-ently defended
Martin Thorn, met yesterday with a
serious and unlooked for obstacle when,
after a brief adjournment. District At
torney Youngs informed the court that
the people rested their case.
It was generally expected that Mrs.
Nack would be put on the stand to re
iterate her confession, and the lawyers
who had been assigned to look after
Thorn's Interests thought she would
repeat her statement of two weeks ago.
This seems a clever move on the
part of the prosecution," said Mr.
Howe, "but I am more than positive
that when we Introduce our evidence
the Jury will acquit my client of the
crime with whiclfTie is charged."
l-ater in the afternoon District At
torney Youngs said he was not pre
pared to say whether Mrs. Nack, who
had made such a famous scene in the
first trial by her confession, woiltd
be produced or not. The case, as tar
as the district attorney's opinion went,
was fully proved without the woman's
testimony. Later on, however, one of
Mr. Youngs' advisers said that In case
the defense put Martin Thorn on the
stand the prosecution would certainly
produce Mrs. Nack In rebuttal.
The evidence adduced yesterday by
the prosecution showed a possible In
clination on the defendant's part to
get rid of his enemy, Guldensunne.
Bach was the admirer of Mrs. Nack,
and it was proved that they had a
Berlous row last March. From current
report Gttldensuppe had evidently very
much the better of the argument when
It came to fisticuffs. Thorn confessed
later that he had discharged a re
volver accidentally, but a few minutes
afterward told another friend of his
that he had shot at Guldsnsuppe, hut
missed hie mark. All these things were
brought before the Jury, and when It
was about time to renew the sensational
story of Mrs. Nack the prosecution,
after a whispered conversation, inform
ed the court that the people had rested
their case.
Thorn WSJ less surprised - than his
lawyers when this statement -was made
by Mr. Youngs. Thorn took in the sit
uation at a glfince, and bent forward
In earnest conversation with his law
yers. Mr. Howe, for the second time dur
ing the trial of his client, apepaled to
the court for time. "I shall, with your
honor's permission," said he. "try to
get through with my defense on Mon.
day, but if it should exceed that time
I am sure I can get, in all my evidence
In a couple of hours on Tuesday."
Justice Maddox, after a conference
with both lawyers, decided to postpone
further consideration of the case until
Monday.

GENERAL MARMADUKE'S CLAIM.
North lrimticl South "Without a
Silicic DuoIkIvo Vlotory."
St. Louis, Nov. 27. General Vincent
Marmaduke, of Sweet Springs, Mo., who
was recently appointed by the ex-Confederate
veterans of Missouri as chair
man of a committee to write an au
thentic history of the part Missouri
and MIssourians took in the civil war,
yesterday Issued a remarkable address.
It was addressed to the ex-Confederate
veterans of Missouri, and said In
part:
'The honor and glory of this great
struggle was with the south, and
southern soldiers ought, In Justice to
themselves and the dead comrades,
preserve the memory o It. While the
porth am! northern soldiers are in
veighing against all manifestation ot
sectional feeling, they are erecting
monuments to their successful leaders
and telling the story very much to their
credit and to our detriment. The north
had more than four soldiers to one in
the south. Its armies were reinforced
and assisted by 800- ships of war, man
ned by 36,000 sailors. It had unlimited
credit, factories to manufacture every
thing needed, railroads running In
every direction and. Intercourse with
the whole world, lint notwithstanding
all Its advantages It took the north four
years to crush the south, and then it
did It by a grinding process, and with
out having gained a decisive victory.
