Helms' Birthday .Celebration, and Says

Character.
Pottsvllle, Jan. 23. The cross-eiamlnation
of ex-Cuniiilnioner Allen, one of the de
fendants, yesterday afternoon, was the oc
casion for another encounter between counsel.
Tho court was forced to rebuke them in strong
language. Tho encounter occuricd near tho
close of the afternoon sossion, when Messrs
Whslcn and Schalck objected to Mr. Marr's
method of rc-exitiniuatlon, lelcrring to
matters not prevlotis'y refened to in his
examination in chief,
"If Mr. Allen," said Mr. Whalen, "did not
know on his cross-examination about matters
he is now testifying to, how was his memory
refreshed. Perhaps Jir. Marr was speaking
to him."
This brought Mr. Marr suddenly to his
feot with this remark : "That's none of your
business, whether I was talking to Allen or
not. He lms.a right to advire as our client if
ho ehoses."
A fierce cross-fire then occurred, until tho
court insisted that It should cease, to which
Mr. Marr replied very angrily: "I won't
allow .Mr. Whalen to point his finger at me.
This examination Is propor, even though it
does re-opon the cross-examination on the
part of tho Commonwealth."
The Court: "I tell you now that I wont
allow it. It is reversing tho order of ex
amination and puts tho Commonwealth to a
disadvantage. If you havo an oiler, mako it
aud let tho court rule upon it ; but I repeat I
will not allow that line of examination to
proceed." This cudcil the discussion.
Tho cross-examination of Mr. Allen con
tinued on tho lines of the deal by which the
quo warranto proceedings against the witness
were stopped in consideration that the Con
troller's salary aud that of his deputies, to
gether with $300 counsel fees, were to be paid.
Tho commonwealth alleges that thu mouey
was takeu from tho county treasury to pay
theso claims, but iu his ttbtiinony Mr. Allen
denied that such was tho enso and said it
was his own funds. Ho said : "The money
was not drawn out of the county treasury by
others aud given mo to pay the fees aud costs
in tills settlement aud caso; I don't remem
ber that any of tho bills wero held up by the
Controller."
"Refer to tho minutes aud refresh your
memory," suggested Mr. Whalen. Tho min
utes cited that the Commissioners would not
recognize Mr. 11. K. Severn as Controller.
Mr. Whalon inquired, how was it that all
these bills that were hold up wero ptid but
n few days after the agiceinont, but the wit
ness could not ansvtor. The hills of Philip
Yedinsky for services to the Controller, as
interpreter wero read and was among those
held up.
The witness was then shown a warrant
drawn September 25th, 1601, in favor of B.
It. Severn, for $300, and signed by the three
Commissiouers, and asked how ho icconciled
this with tho miuuie book which showed
"no hoard piesent." He could not explain,
but said the clerk may have meant there was
no meeting. Warrants wero also drawn tho
sme day iu favor of F. C. Beeso and Goorgo
P. Waluer. On tho 2Sth of September a
warrant was drawn in favor of J. O. Ulrich,
while the minute book again showed "no
board present.'' The witness could explain
this ouly by saying the clerk may have.uuder
instructions, prepared tho warrant.
Mr. Whalen, after showing several other
bills whicii tho witness could not explain,
read from tho minutes of the Commissioners
that $300 be paid to Win. Wilhelm forservices
In the Supremo Court iu the Auditors' case,
and a warraut drawn Iu favor of Thomas E.
Samuels.
LAWYERS LIKi: HEM:.
A hill from Helms and Woll, dated May
9th, 1MJ0, was shown the witness, and asked
whore credit was given Helms for $5 for
palutiug doue on May 2nd, for which a bill
was presented. Witness said ho could fiud
no credit. The witness further stated ho
knew there was beer iu the court house base
meut on tho occasion of Mr. Helm's birth
day, hut the beer didn't last loug. The
lawyers wero the ilrst on hand.
Mr. Alleu thought the cmployos painting
tne court liouso could not have lost much
time. They slipped down stairs, took a
drink aud went back to work. No one got
uruuk, the warraut amounting to $380,
paid B. 1. Severn for back salary shown
witness datod September, lb91. Witness
could not tell why tho minutes showed that
ouly ordinary business was transacted. Tli.it
matter was in the hands of our chief clerk,
Mr. Cunnell.
Charles G. Retd first assistant clerk nf Urn
Commissioners, was the llrst witness called
uy me ueieuso mis morning. Jlo was
questioned by Mr. Wllliclm with tho purpose
oi snowing mar no maue auuolatlons and ex
planations iu writing upon the notes and
carbon conies of notes and resolutions with a
view of showluc that there were other nivi
of keepiug the minutes besides on the
minute books.
On cross-examination by Mr. Whalen ho
admitted he had made some of the indorse
ments testified to no earlier than yesterday,
and since this suit was instituted. Ho was

tious hy chief clork Beber, but he did not
know whether Iieber got them in tho "T
