Hoodk JEW TRIM ASKED FOR Arguments Made in the West Mahanoy Towushlp Cae. COURT GRANTS AH AMENDMENT Judge Koch Allows the Commonwealth to Supply a Word Upon Which the Counsel For the School Direc tors Based One of Their Main Objections. Tho argument on tho motion in arrest nf judgment In the case of the Commonwealth vs. the WestvMahanoy Township School Di rectors was Heard before Judgos Bechtel and Koch In court room No. 1 yesterday. Win. A. Marr and George J. Wftdllnger appeared for tbo motion, and Messrs. D. W. Kaercher, McII. Wllhelm and J. F. Whalen against. The argument was oponod br Mr. Wad. linger who contended that as to tho ordor to the Directors" for Institute, there was no evidence ot it's being issued by the defend ants, and that as tills money had been paid the directors before the order was Issued, there should have been no conviction. Mr. Marr contended that the fact that tho prac tice of directors in other districts taking money lor instituo, ought to havo some bear ing on the action of the court. Tho lawyers fur tho prosecution arcued that the question was fairly submitted to the jury, and that there was evidence ofthe is suing of tho order and its being endorsed by aH tho dofeudants, and that tho conviction was fully warranted. Other points, such as the omhsion of the word "Foreman." on tho back of tho indictment after the name of thoToreman, and that the record did not sliow that the foreman was sworn, were discussed. Tho Commonwoalth, at the con clusion, asked for an amendment bv adding the word "Foreman" aftor tho namo Ben. Kauffniau, Ac, which tho court allowed, nnd to which tho defendant excepted. Amone the reasons assigned was that it was too lato after trial and tho vordlct to allow tho amendment. There were 00.counts in tho indictment. CO were stricken out by the court, loavinc but 39 and tho jury convicted tho directors on the count, charging them .with illegally taking $30 from the treasury ofHho. school uisinci ior ine purpose ot attending DirBal tors Day at tho County Institute.
