A IIiiiico Game. Tliat Is Puzzling Kev.
I.tturlsln.
Itev. Cornelius Laurisin, pastor of the
drcsk Catholic clmrcli.on West Centre street,
Is a Tery much puzzled man. Last Saturday
tho clergyman wns In Philadelphia and
ordered a cold watch chain at one of the
Jewelry store! of the city. He paid for it
and ordered that it bo snt to Shenandoah by
express.
While the clergyman was absent from his
home yesterday a strange man called thorn
and lu response to the questions of the
clergyman's wife as to the object of tho call
tho stranger said, "Your husband ordered a
geld natch chain in Philadelphia and I have
brought it. I happened to be coming to
Shenandoah and thought I would deliver
the chain lu person."
Mrs. Laurisin knew that her husband had
ordered tho chain and took tho ono tho
stranger produced. It was in a neatlr lined
jewoler's caso. After briefly examining the
cnain Mrs. L.aurislu leld tho strangor to
leave it and call again for the money. "No,"
said tho man, "I may lint come to Shenan
doah again for several mouths and I cannot
leave tho chain without getting the money."
This conversation took place in tho dining
room. Suddenly stepping to the sidehoaid
the stranger pulled open a drawyer which
contained a tin box in which there was $2.15.
The man took the money and Mrs. Laurisin
exclaiuiee, "What do you mean? Loave
that money alone." To this the stranger
paid little heed. Ho threw back the llfteen
cents and hurriedly left the house with tho
two dollars, Mrs. Laurisin rctalnlug tho
chain.
Eev. Laurisin cares little about the loss,
but he Is sorely puzzled as to how the bunco
man found out that he had ordered a chain
In Philadelphia. Mrs. Laurisin describes the
visitor as being a tall, stout man of English
or Araeiican nationality aud well dressed.
During the conversation with Mrs. Laurisin
the stranger said, "Our house sold a chain,
ring and other jewelry to your husband's
brother at Hraddock, Pa., about a ycaraio."
This is also puzzling to Rev. Laurisin. Ho
has a brother at Braddock, but how did this
stranger learn so mnch. The chain ordered
at Philadelphia has not arrived yet. The
one left by the stranger is pronounced worth
about ten or fifteen cents.

RETIRES
Judge Bechtel Delivers Ills Charge and
Defines the Law.
NOT AS SEYERE AS EXPECTED
The Trial of the County commissioners Has
Reached Its Last Stage and Those
Interested Await the Verdict
With Much Apparent
Impatience.
Pottsvillc, Feb. i. The long drawn out
case against the County Commissioners lias
at last reached the hands of the jurors and
many beside the principals mid lawyers are
relieved, as tho trial has been ono of the most
tedious and monotonous evor tried in this
county.
Ill closing his charge to the jury Judge
Iiechtcl said he would leave the wholo matter
to the jury, and intimated that he did not
wish to impress his opinion upon them. Talk
as to the mildness or, severity of the charge
is aliout equally divided.
It was 12:10 o'clock when tho jury retired
to deliberate ou its verdict.
wiiitkiiouse'h plea.
Mr. Whltehouse began at 3:30 o'clock and
charged that the corporations woro seeking
to overrule tno will ol tbe people. They
want the offices, and you have seen men out
of jobs here and on tbe stand who want ap
pointments. Tliey hare been giving infor
mation to the Commonwealth and at least
one of them has been the most disgraced
witness who left that stand. A man is not
made criminal because he makes u mistake.
If you did you'd have the jails filled. A
Justice of the Peace Is a sworn officer and
what do we do with him when ho makes a
mistake ? Do we indict him ? No. We ap
peal to this court, and if we bcllovo this
court to have made a' mistike we appeal to
the Supreme Court, and sometimes we appeal
trom that body to tho United States Suoreme
Court, and if the decision goes against us we
come away abusing tho Judges for what we
believe to be a mistake.
General Grant made mistakes and yet if a
man wero to charge him with doing anything
wrong he wouldn't live in Pottsville lone.
General McCIcllau, patriot and great general
though lie was, was removed from his posi
tion by the machinations and charges brought
against him at lha rear. Every corporation
about here was opposed to tbe new county
"HI and Issued passes to anybody whowauted
them and had influence. The money jnent
by tho Commissioners was not one-tenth of
the amount needed to defeat that bill. Had
the Orphans' Court bill pas.ed wo would have
lost one Judge and Judge Bechtel would
not have been on that bench to-day, because
his term would have expired.
Unless Senator Loach is very foolish he
would not have given that agreement into
the hands of the Commonwealth were it not
for the fact that he r''' .t" get even with
those Commissioners, because tlmy did not
appoint the Wuideu, Deputy Warden, clerk
and assistant janitor that he wanted them to.
They want positions and arc after them.
As evldeuce that thu law contemplates im
perfections iu ufficiuls the speaker cited an
act which provides that "if by accident or
mistake," such a thing occurs, it shall bo
remedied in a ceitaiu manner.
Mr. Whitebuuso referred to those who
worked up the French revolution of 1702 and
referred to Pontius Pilate, tho craftest politi
cian of his day, who worked un the
populace ugalust Christ to crucify him. He
compared Win. L. Shcafer, tho prosecutor in
tins case, to Pontius Pilate and asked not
only a verdict of not guilty but that tho costs
be put upon the prosecutor. It was 4:05
when Mr. Whitohousn closed.
Vt'IIALKN'S ELOQUENCE.
Mr. Whalen at once began the final speech
for the prosecution and said that instead of
Wm. L. Sheafer washing his hands of the
guilt of this prosecution, the defendants had
endeavored all through this trial to wash
their bauds of guilt, and put it upon tbe
heads of their clerks and others. He took
up the speeches of the defendants' counsel.
As to the decrease of expenses at the prison
he said Mr. Wilhelm had promised, in his
speech, to prove that tho county expenses
Had been increased; and aluug comes Mr.
Marrand says they have been reduced. The
fact 19 the total prison expenses have in
creased, but the cost per prisuner appears to
have been reduced about 8 cents per day. In
reference to bridge repairs he declared that
if there was a board loose up at Klingerutown,
they would start out on a tour of inspection.
The defendants had tried to make Judgo
Pershing responsible for their award of the
lighting contract. Mr. Whulon said he him
self owned a little shanty over on East
Market street, and some of the jurors had
their little homes in St. Clair and Pottsville
and other plares. His little place is as dear
to him as the home of Wm. Sheafer is to him.
and he wished to protect it from heiug taxed
out of existence. He described how Hill
said he had run a "simper" in a plaining mill
in Chicago, and he, Whalen, hasn't been ab'e
to get that word out of his mind yet. Both
lull aid Geary had been working that
"shaper" for three years and they were the
best pair of "sbapers" he know of, and it
was high time the county is protected agaitiat

Damafi-lng Evidence Against Ihc Accused
Murderous Deputies.
A SCHOOLMASTER'S TESTIMONY I
He Saw the Conflict From Beginning to
End, and Declares That the Slaugh
tered Strikers Were Feaceable
and Unarmed.
WUkeHbarre, Pa., Feb. 4. The tak
ing of evidence in the trial of Sheriff
Martin and his deputies was begun In
the Luzerne county court yesterday,
after Attorney Mrdahren had present
ed the case for the common woalth.
John Swar, the first witness, was se
verely cross examined by Mr. Lcnatian,
but lie made an excellent witness, kept
cool, replied slowlyand dellberatelyand
strengthened Ills stnry in chief by the
numerousdetalls which thp defenseello
lted. He remark d at one period of the
examination that lie could not under
stand high toned English, meaning that
he did not know the meaning of some
of the big words used by Attorney
Lenahun. This gave the defense an
opportunity to air Its humorous views,
and the commonwealth objected very
decidedly, saying to the court that the
case was of such Importance that It
should be conducted with dignity, and
there was no occasion for buffoonery.
The court reprimanded the defendants'
attorneys.
The defense attempted to show that
the witness had been engaged In ter
rorizing men who did not want to
strike to such an extent that they were
forced to Join the strikers through foar
of Injury, but the court would not al
low it, saying it was not cross exam
ination. Later the defense asked the
witness If he had not been engaged
In or known of sundry cases of vio
lence with the strikers 'as the aggres
sors on the day of the strike. This the
witness denied.
The second witness was John Ma
hala, who was at the time of the strike
the president of the Harwood local
union of the United Mine Workers of
America. He told how, after his men
had decided to march over to Lattlmer,
he had read the Instructions of the na
tional union cautioning them to at
tempt no violence, avoid threats and
destruction of property, and to behave
peaceably. The next day, he declared,
while 400 men were peaceably march
ing through West Hazleton they were
intercepted by the sheriff and his dep
uties. The sherlfT ordered them to go
home, and he Insisted upon their right
to visit their friends In Lattimor. One
of the deputies tore In half the Amer
ican Hag he (Muhala) carried, and
another struck John Euston with a
gun, breaking his arm. Burgess Jones,
of West Hazleton, remonstrated with
the sheriff, and the inarch proceedeu.
Mahala was In the rear of the crowd
when the shooting began, and by the
time he had run to the front it hud
ended, and ten dead men and a num
ber wounded were lying In the roau.
Rev. Father Richard Aust, pastor of
the St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic
church at Hazleton, who is chairman
of the prosecuting committee, was call
ed to prove that many of the strikers
were shot In the back. He said he had
examined a number of the dead, but
could not tell In detail what their
wounds were.
Rov. Carl Hauser, pastor of the Luth
eran church at Freeland, who num
bered among his eongregntlon several
of the dead and wounded, said that he
had examined several and found that
all of them were shot In the side or
the back. He boarded a car after tho
massacre. In which were ten of the
dead and several wounded. On his ex
pressing a fear that some rifles piled
In the corner might fall and explode
Deputy Frank Clark said: "You need
not be afraid: they're all empty now."
Harry Dryfoos, an amateur photog
rapher, who had taken several pic
tures of the scene of the shooting, tes
tified to so doing, and the photos wero
given to the Jury for their examina
tion. Charles Ouscott, principal of the Lat
tlmer school, a frame building about 600
yards from the scene of the shooting,
and In full view of all that took place
on tho eventful 10th of September at
Lattlmer, was the next witness. Gus
cott said he was teaching school when
he heard an unusual noise, and going
to the window he found that a num
ber of men, some SO, were alighting
from an electric car. They were the
deputies.
Miss Coyle, his assistant, also watch
ed them, and while their attention was
thus riveted the pupils rushed 'r the
door to get outside. He saw the dep
uties line up ncross the road and then
move over to the side of the road and
form there, with rifles readv. The
strikers were by this time coming over
the brow of the hill some two or three
hundred yards away, marching five
and six abreast, and were quiet and
orderly. Witness could not see that
they carried any weapons. They ap
proached slowly, and as they drew near
tho sheriff advanced to meet them. As
ho reached the first man a dozen or
bo formed a sort of half circle around
him. He did not hear the sheriff say
anything, nor did ho see him read any
paper.
A minute after the line first stopped
those behind pushed ahead to see what
was going on, ami got ahead of the
sheriff. At that moment one of the
deputies stepped out of the line and
advanced some ten or twelve paces,
as if ho was going to leave the other
deputies, wheieupon one shouted: "If
you do not come back we will shoot
you, too." The fellow Jumped back
Into tho line, and almost Immediately
after tho witness heard a shot. It
came from tho left of the lino of dep
uties. A moment Inter two more shots
were fired, nnd then camu the volley
Tho witness said that as soon as the
volley was fired the strikers ran In nil
directions, and between the road and
tho schoolhouso ID men fell, struck
down by Bhots fired after the volley.
He saw one man shot and killed while
running at full speed at n distance of
a hundred yards from the road. The
shooting continued for some two or
tlnee minutes. gouo o( the wounded
