A Reduction in Price, but
not in quality
This week we have reduced the price of our
popular 30c. Blended Coffoo to 25c.
This coffee is a blend of the highest grades of the
best coffees, combining strength and richness of
flavor, and is really but little more expensive than the
common, low-priced goods in the market, requiring
less coffee on account of its greater strength.

It must be remembered that'.Commissioners
Kentz and Allen are being tried for otleusrs
committed during tho previous term. It is
nrobable that if they consent to ouster from

Another Day in the Pamotis Murder
Trial at Wllkesbarre.
THE STORY OF A LADY TEACHER
Declares the Strikers Were Peaceable and
Bays She Rebuked the Deputies After
the Fatal Volley Evidence of
Premeditation Ruled Out.
Wllkeslmire, Pa., Felt. C The wit
nesses in the trial of Sheriff Martin
and his deputies are brought Into court
only as they are required to testify, the
others being kept In an upstairs room.
Many bear reminders of the Luttlmer
massacre in the shape of glinstly
wounds, missing legs and arms, etc.
Charles Guscott. the school teacher,
finished his testimony yesterday, and
pointed out several of the deputies as
among those he had seen just before
and after the massacre. Some of the
deputies endeavored to avoid recogni
tion, but were required to come for
ward where they could bo easily seen.
.Dr. H. M. Kellar, who attended many
of the wounded strikers and viewed the
remains of the dead, testified that
many of the strikers were shot in the
back, thus bearing out the allegations
of the commonwealth that the dep
uties fired when the men were run
ning away. Forty-six wounds on 39
men were Inflicted by a Winchester
bullet, and only a small number were
caused by buckshot. The classification
was as follows: Shot directly in front,
E; Indirectly in front, 0; directly In the
side, 15; Indirectly In the side, C; direct
ly In the rear, 3; Indirectly In the roar,
8. Of the 30 patients seven died In the
hospital, two aro still there and slowly
recovering, and 30 have been dis
charged, all of them cured except one,
who Is now in a Philadelphia hospital.
Of two who were wounded the bullet
had entered Just above the heel and
lodged near the kneecap. Only a man
running at full speed could be shot In
that manner.
llcv. S. E. Stafflett, pastor of the
Emanuel Reformed church, of Hazle
ton, told nbout going on the electric
car from Mllnesvllle to Lattimer, and
passing the marching strikers en route.
They were marching four or five
abreast, were quiet and orderly, and
the only demonstration they made was
to cheer the car as It passed. The wit
ness said he saw them carrying no
weapons. Returning on the same car
from Lattimer, he again passed the
strikers Just as they wero approaching
the sheriff. As the car neared the end
of the column he saw the strikers there
running, heard a cheer, and immediate
ly afterward the shooting.
Miss Grace Coyle, the young girl who
Is Principal Guscott's assistant at the
Lattimer school, proved to be the most
Important witness of the day. She was
very brief In all her answers, and ex
ceedingly nervous at first. She said she
was standing on the porch of the
Echoolhouse and saw the deputies line
up along the roadside. Then the strik
ers approached quietly and orderly. The
sheriff stopped them, and some of them
gathered around him, but she did not
see any of them attack him. Some of
them cried, "Go ahead," and a few
strikers pushed past the sheriff. At that
moment a shot was fired; then came
another, and In an Instant a crashing
volley.
"I saw men fall," said Miss Coyle.
"Some of them ran toward the school
house, and when they had got half way
they fell. I do not know whether they
were shot Just before they fell of If
they were wounded by the volley and
ran bo far before their strength failed.
The shooting continued for about two
minutes, and after the first vullev It
was scattered.
"I helped many of the wounded strik
ers who fell near the schoolhouse. I
bandaged the wounds of some of those
who were shot through the arm or leg,
and we carried two men Into the school
house, gave them water to drink and
tried to make them comfortable. There
was blood all over the schoolhouse
floor; It was a horrible sight.
"I helped about 12 or 15 of the wound
ed, and did not see any weapons on any
of them. While I was helping them a
deputy named Hess laughed at me as
he walked about smoking a cigar. I
said, 'You ought to go to Cuba.' Dep
uty Clark laughed, and I said to him,
'Do you think you've done a glorious
deed today?' I called two more of them
bums."
Miss Coyle made a good witness for
the commonwealth In her recital of all
this, but in the cross examination she
also made a good witness for the de
fense. The defence will try to prove
that the people of Lattimer were very
much afraid of tho strikers, and be
came much alarmed when they heard
they were coming. Miss Coyle said on
this point Just what the defense desired
to get at. She said:
"Shortly before 4 o'clock Miss Cora
Ilelnbach came to the school und said,
'The strlkeis nre coming, and I want
my little sister to go home with me.'
1 excused the little girl, nnd then
thought It best to dismiss the class, so
they could get home before the strik
ers came."
Dr. John J. Corrlgnn, of Hazleton
testlf ed to the fact that he dressed the
wounds of some of the strikers as they
were being takpn to Hazleton In a trol
ley cur. Feveral deputies were In the
car, but said nntlilug to him about the
affair. Then the commonwealth called
Stephen T. Adams, a traveling man, by
whom It hoped to prove that some of
the deputies while Journeying to the
scene of tho shooting made threats
that they would kill some of the strik
ers. Tha witness said he could not
identity nny of the deputies on the
car. As he was proceeding to tell hie
story the defense objected on the
ground that he could not identify any
of the deputies and it was not proper
evidence for him to state whut wus
said. There was a long argument, and
tho court finally Hiisiuiiied the objection
of the defense, and the evidence will
not be heard.
Court then adjourned until today.
The trial Is exnected to take four
weeks at least, as there nre about 150
witnesses to be hi ,iil by the common
wealth and neurly 200 for the defense.
