Judge Hechtcl yester day afternoon adjourned court at an earlier hour than usual, to allow somo of tlio jurors to go to their homes. His Honor took ad- antago of the opportunity to speak to counsel nbout the tcchni al points raised by Mr. I'.yon un the statement presented to court nbout tho county iudchtedncs? and permission to erect tlio new buildings at the ilirsliouso.

Mo?er, of l'ottsville, formerly typewriter in the Commissioner's ollico from March, 'IU, until August, '1)7; was clerk and typewriter; I did copying, transcribing aud tc. ; was authorized at times by the Com missioners, other times by Mr. Connell, to prepare notes for loans ; tho outline was al ways written for me ; made carbon copies of notes and resolutions: original note was igned and taken to tho bank : carbon cotdes wero filed away in the vault ; the resolu tions were also taken to the bank. Havo no recollection of tho note of July 3rd, 1895, for $15,000, negotiated with the Safe Deposit Hank. THOSE nitAbl'IlES. Tho witness was asked in reference to several notes and loans, but he invariable answered ho could not remember. The original notes of Janaary 8, 1896, and April 1890, with alterations, wero shown witness. and ho explained ; Thcro was an error in drawing this note up. It is for $10,000, but should ho for $5,000 J I made the erasures or changes ; it is my writing ; the erasures were made before tho noto was signed, I think ; tho resolutions call for f",000 ; resolutions were first passed, aud the notes prepared afterwards; the chief clerk gavo mo tho resolutions ; can't say if I wrote the resolu tion of Juno 0 ; (the carbon copy of this was shown witness); it was iu the line of my duty; tho resolutions of June 0 and 8 inst, 1895, are ilillerent ; tho noto of Juno 0 seems to correspond with tho carbon copy of the resolution of thati date; don't know any thing about the original resolutions ; have no recollection of tho transaction with the Safe Deposit llauk on Juno 0 ; can't say what bo- came of the carbon copy of the resolutions of Juno 8; I droit money from the Schuylkill i rust company on loans, out never got any cash from tho Safe Deposit Hank j think I got checks there, but cannot give any partic ular dato ; I delivered them to tho county treasurer. On cross-examination, tho witness said ho took no receipts from the treasurer for money turned over to him ; never copied any minutes in tin minute book ; besides myself, Mr. Connell, Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Coogan used tho typewriter ; I took my vacation iu August, 1890 : never used uuy private marks for identification. WltOTi: THE MINUTES. Joseph Schmidt, who was witness aud docket clork. said ho did general work, was directed by Mr. Connell in 1895, iu tlio latter I part of tho year for a period of two or three months, to hack tho minutes in the hook ; my ontrees began January 3, 1891, and I also entered minutes lato iu 1895 and some in 1896. 1 never attended the Commissioners' meeting ; tlio back minutes wero in an onvelopo and wero given me by Mr. Connell ; never wrote notes and resolutions, aud knew nothing about the transactions of Juno 0 or 8, 1890; had nothing to do with loans, resolu tions or notes. Clerk Schmidt was recalled this morning aud cross-examined by Mr. Marr. The mluute book was iu the drawer at times and often laid in the drawer. Council's desk was for a long timo without a lock. Tha clerks uied the seal whenever necessary. It always stood on Council's desk, and could be gotten without the asking. He never knew of the Commissioners using the seal. I went up to tho Grand Jury room to write out the minutes because it was quieter thcro and I would not be bothered. Charles O. Uecd, now first assistant clerk in tlio Commissioners' ofilce, said the $10,000 receipt was, to tho best of his knowledge, found on tho Moor by himself aud (1. A. lierner, Esq. He also told of the maimer iu which papers wor or wero not filed away. CONNKIX ON THE STAND. Phil. J. Connell, was called aud sworn. He said: I entered the Commissioners employ Jan. 1, 1888. Was promoted Chief Clerk January 1st. 1892. Was familiar witli the method of negotiating temporary loans Tho Deputy Treasurer would notify mo when tho funds wore low and I would notify the Com missioners. They would instruct mo to con fer with the banks by telephone or other wise. Sometimes they would confer with banks at their rcspectivo homes. Allen at Tamaqua, ItenU at Ashland, and Martin at Piuegrovo. They negotiated loans with tho said banks. They also would instruct mo to negotiate loans by word of mouth, naming the amount, time, bank aud rate of Interest. I would pro pare resolutions and notos according to the forms in use before 1 took olhce. 1 would dictate tho form to the typewriter. If they were busy with a crowd of people, they would not formally organic", but simply tell me to prepare the rusolullons. 1 lie type writer during my time was Mr. Moscr. He camo iu during 1891. At first I wrote out tlio forms, but after u while he heenmo familiar with tho forms and I would simply tell him the amount, time and rate. When prepared he handed ino thu notes ami rcsolu tlons. Tho originals wero used and signed tho carhou copies wero lllod away; wo kept carbon copies of all olucial business. It was Mr. Moser's business to file carlion ! copies. Mr. Moscr was tlio only one ever in structed to writo notes aim resolutions, Others ustd tho typo writer, iucludlng Clerks Coogan and Schmidt and myself. I don't know that Clerk lielicr never used tho typewriter. The witness then explained tho load poncll notes on tho carbon copies. "T. h." stood for temporary loans aud indicated it was to be filed Iu tho temporary loan lllo. Mr Schalck railed hU attention to the carbon copies of Jau. 0, 1890, and he ex plained the note lu ink to be in Clerk Mosor's writing. Tho "T. L." iu pencil was in his handwriting. Ho Identified the hand writing of Moser and himself on other car bon copies. Moser's writing showid the amount of loan, note, time, rato mid bank. To tho best of his know ledgo a carbon ropy of ovcry noto and resolution was kept on file. Thoy wore kept to keep tho temporary loan account straight and for reference when a bank demanded payment of a noto. We never had any dilliculty with any bank. When a bank olllclat called us up by tele phono and said a noto was duo I told Mcisor to look up the carbon copy and lu every case hu fouud It. llli.S'TZ OUT IN Till: CO 1.11. It was not my practice to write out the resolutions in full lu tho minutes, and 1 simply took notos on a piece of foolscap for reference. During tlio first year everything was carried out legally, but after that everybody seemed to grow careless, myself included. The Com missioners depended on me lu keep every thing straight. It was our practice. Q. What caused the laxity or carlessnosB aftor 1891? A. During 18!) I Messrs. Allen and Martin worked together and Itcntz was left out in tho cold. During that time ho was very par ticular to havo his objections entered on tho minutes, and to keep everything in accord with the law. After the year 1891 all tho Commissioners were moro friendly and everybody gradually grow careless. It was our custom to lay all notes and resolutions upon the tabic or desk of Mr. Allen, president of tho Hoard of Commissioners. It will bo remembered that in January, 1S94, Allen, Hepublican, aud Ma'tin, Demo crat, made a deal in Helecting appointments, and left Mr. Itcntz, tho other Hepublican, out in tho cold, as stated. lly direction of Mr. Schalck, Mr. Connoll read from tho minutes of March 2, 1891, showing that tho resolutions were written iu full on tho minutes, aud also a copy of the nolo. He did not know what cained the Commissioners to becomo moro friendly iu 1895 and afterwards. Minutes of other dates in 1891 showed that the notes and resolutions were spread upon the minutes fully. Tho notes were drawn on l'ottsville aud Ashland banks. He then read, by contrast from the min utes of July 3, 1S95, which simply recite "a resolution negotiating a temporary loan with tho Safe Deposit Hank was adopted." The carbon copies of the noto and resolution ought to bo on file in tho vaults. This $15, 000 loan was negotiated in tho usual way, and after I put tho seal ou the note and reso lution I would deliver them, (the noto and resolution) to the Deputy County Treasurer, ono of the Commissioners, to any one of the clerks who was not particularly busy, or my slf. If the loan was ou an Ashland bank, IJentz would take it; if at I'iuegrove, Martin; if Tamaqua, Allen; if in Pottsvllle, myself, the Deputy Treasurer or auy ono of tho clerks. RECEIVED CASH. Q. Did you receive money from any of tho banks ou notos. A. Once, and once only. I can't tell when, aud I remember saying to the County Treasurer, "This is a dangerous thing to dii; you might be held up anil knocked down, and I'll never do it again." I never" did. All tli money 1 got from tho banks I handed over intact to the deputy County Treasurer. This money was wrapped up aud sealed iu the shape of n brick. I did not count it and can't remember what amount was in it. I novar heard a thing about tho transaction until August 13th, 1897. Never heard a whisper. So. That was the time the com plaint was made about tho missing $10,000. I cannot bring to mind anything nbout the loan of $15,000 on July 3rd, 1895, whou, it is alleged, $5,000 was missed. Judgo Bechtel : Who was tlio Deputy Treasurer to whom you remarked, "It was a dangerous tiling, etc. ?" A. If it was during 150l,-'5-'0, it was .Mr. Kline. Witnoss could not bring to mind what be came of the original resolution of Juno 0th, 1800, of which a carbon copy was produced. Neither could he tell where the carbon copy of tho resolution of Juno 8, 1890, is unless it is in the vault. Ho read from the minutes of Saturday.Juno Utli,1890,which recited that a $5,000 loan with the Safe Deposit Hank was renewed. The minutes of June 8th, 1890, re ferred only to fixing tlio price of post mortem examinations at $10, except when bodies wero exhumed, in which case $15 was tho price. These minutes wero iu Clerk Schmidt's hand writing. X POSITIVE STATEMENT. Q. By Schalck. Did you receive those $5,000 on Juno 0 or 8, 1S90, or at auy uther timo? A. I did not; and, furthermore, I believe no one connected with tho Coiuniissiontr'.s ollico ever received it. To further questions he said, "I positively and emphatically swear that neither myself nor.to my belief, any ono connected with tho ollico ever got a penny of this money." I might havo cancelled this note with the circular punch. My desk was open for two years ; tho key was lost aud tho lock was broken. Thcro was no use in keeping tho desk locked. Wo had a little earthen vessel there in which wo kept the money gotten for postago stamps from other otliccs, and I would often find this money missing. Other things were stolen from the desk, so I decided to leave it open. Carl Coogau, formerly warrant clerk, was In chargo of the bills from which ho drew the warrants. He would preseut tho warrant mid bill form to tho Controller. Ho had no particular remembrance of the transaction of December 7th, 1800, when tho note of June Otii, 1S90. was filially nald. fCsuuell's testimony points out new possi bilities iu this remarkable trial, and there may be a colord geutleman or two now in the woodpile, who may be rooted out before tho thing euds.J CONNELI.'li CROSS-EXAMINATION. On cross-examination by Mr. Marr ex Commissioner Clerk Council said Commis sioner Itcntz had frequently urged him to havo tho mlnutos of tho previous meetings written out before tho following meetings; aud admitted that Commissioner Keutz had complained that tho minutes wero not complete, enough during 1891.

TW0 TAX RECEIVER CONVENTIONS The Leaders League Members, Falling to Secure Recognition For Legally Elected Delegates, Leave the Hall-Martin's Arbitrary Ruling. Philadelphia, .Inn. 13. Although re ceiver of tuxes Ik the only city olllce to be chosen at tho coming municipal elec tion in Februaiy, with one police mag istrate to 1111 a vacancy, the struBKlo of the past few months between factions of the Iteimlillcan party to obtain con tiol of the nominating convention has been the fiercest political contest ill this city for many years. This fight cul minated yesterday in two Hepublican candidates being placed In the field. There was a bolt In the Republican con- 1 vention, one faction nominating 'Will iam J. Roney, the present Incumbent, for receiver of taxes, and the other , Harvey K. Newitt. For magistrate the Roney following nominated David T. Hart and the Newitt faction left the magisterial nomination open for a few t days. The Democrats, In a harmonious convention, nominated Charles P. Don nelly for receiver of taxes and James E. Gorman for magistrate. The Republican conventions were very turbulent, and there was much , disorder and considerable fighting out- ' side the halls, caused by the exclusion of delegates who were said to bo not 1 properly accredited. t The factional trouble among the Philadelphia Republicans dates back to 1 the spring of 18;iG, when Doles Penrose, I now United States senator, wus, as he j averred, "turned down" for 'he nomi nation for mayor by David Martin, ex national committeeman and the recog- nized leader of the Republican party In the city. War was declared on the leadership of Martin, and in the fall of 1S9G there was a split In the shriev alty convention, and Alexander Crow, who was nominated by the bolters and also received the endorsement of the Democrats, was elected sheriff over Samuel Ashbiidge, the regular Repub lican nominee, f-lnce then there has la-en continuous fighting for party con tiol. .vit-filalliTc'ureV Bean soup will bo served, free, to all dur ing and between the acts to-night.

Mrs. Florence McCusker, r hinged with the murder of her husband, Michael, by shooting him on Nov, 0 last, was acquitted by the Jury in Judge Garrison's court yester day afternoon. The trial for the life of the first woman so Jeopardized in this county was dramatic throughout, and ended with the appropriate climax. The Jury spent one hour and a half de liberating, and w hen they returned and announced the finding the handsome young prisoner uttered a convulsive Oh!" swayed to and fro, while the tears rained from her eyes, and then toppled over In a faint.

When the verdict was announced his old mother Bobbed aloud, and his sister cried out: 'She may go free, but she Is a murder ess Just the same."
