ONE OF THE BURGLARS.

cntlon of ti Suspect.
Michael Wills, alias Jack Spade, alias "The
Spider," is a prisoner in the lockup, charged
with being one of the burglars tt ho entered
and robbed tho church and parsouago of St.
George's Lithuanian Human Catholic congre
gation at three o'clock on Sunday morning,
last, and with having threatened to kill the
priest, Hov. 1'cter Abromaitis, If ho uttered
an alarm or refused to tell whero his valu
ables wore.
Wilts is a rather good looking man of 30
or 35 years of age, but there is In his coun
tenance that sharp, shrewd, Hashing look
that characterizes tha counteuance of an ex
perienced anil desperate crook. He wears a
well-worn pair of pantaloons, a light colored
but considerably soiled overcoat with a
much worn brown velvet eolar and a dark
blue cap. Wills was arrested in a
winter shanty at llrownsvllle yester
day mornining by Policeman Thomas
Hollo and Chief Iiurgcss Tabor, lie
was kept prisouor in tho lockup until this
afternoon pending ellbrts to arrest othcis sus
pected foi the same burglaries. The prisoner
is tall and well put together. His coolness at
times herders oil defiance "Whero do you
lite?" asked the Chief Hurgess this morn
ing. "Your duty is to make arrests and not
ask questions," was the prisoner's answer.
Wills was taken to tho parsonage at two
o'clock this afternoon. Several suspects had
previously , been taken before Kov. Abro
maitis, but he failed to identify them. As
soou as be saw Wills ho was positive in bis
identification. Wills was just as positive in
protesting bis innocence. I!ot. Abromaitis
was positive that Wills was the
uian who asked him whoro his
his money and watch wore, searched his
pockets and threatened to blow open the safe,
lie also said Wills was the man who threat
ened to fill bis heud with bullets if he gave
an alarm. His identification of Wills by ap
pearance and voice was very positive. Wills
protested that ho was never in the parsonaje
before and never saw tho priest before.
"Look again l" oxclaimed tho prisoner.
"Look carefully. You may be sending an
innocent man to prison." To this Kov. Abro
maitis replied, "Yes; I know you."
Wills was returned to the lockup rending
arrangements to give him a hearing. He
reiusos to tallc about himself, except to siy
that his right namo is Michael Wills, that he
was raised in this town, and it is useless to
try aud hunt up any of his friends hero be
cause they don't want to havo anything to do

RESIGNATIONS NOT PRESENTED I

Taxpayers Association Meets and
Decides to Prosecute all Cases and

on Behalf of the
Accused.
Special to Kvknino IIkiiald.
Pottsville, .March 4. Much interest was
manifested to-day In the argument before
Judge liechtel on the motion for a now trial
in behalf of County Commissioners Itentz
and Martin and ex-County Commissioner
diaries F. Allen, found guilty at the last
term of court of misdemeanor In olb'co.
Counsel for tho Commonwealth and defen
dants were on hand in force.
It was oipectcd that 11 proposition from the
defendants with a view to the settlement of
the easo would he submitted to the court,
but It failed tn materialize.
The rumored proposition was to the effect
that the prei-ent County Commissioners
Kontz, .Martin and Meyers and Controller
Severn would tender their resignations from
their lespective offices, provided tho Tax
payers Association would withdraw the civil
and criminal prosecutions against theso offi
cials. The proposition also carried with it
the payment of all costs by the defendants.
1 he reason for tho failure of a sottlemont
is the refusal of Commissioner Meyers, whose
trial has not been reached, to resign. Somo
of his friends have urged him to stand trial,
while others think ho is making a mistake.
The Taxpayers' Association hold a meet
ing last niglit and, in view of tho refusal of
Mr. Meyers to resign, has decided to co
ahead with all prosecutions and will refuse
to entertain any proposition of a similar
character. It is believed, however, that
within the next few days the resignation!
will be filed. An intimation to this eUect
was given out this afternoon from a reliable
source.
Tho argument before Judge liechtel began
at ton o'clock this morning aud concluded at
13:30. John O. Ulrich and W. A. Marr. L'ins..
spoke for the new trial. A. W. Schalck and
John F. Whalen, E,qs appeared for the
Commonwealth.
Beforo the argument opened Mr. Ulrich
mado a strong appeal for a continuance on
the ground that tho defendants had not seen
the charge of the court. Judge Bochtel re
plied that it had been written out and placed
in tho hands of tho proper officials. Further
more, his Honor said, It was agreed that tho
arguments would bo hoard to-day aud so far
as the court was concerned no postponement
would he allowed.
Mr. Ulrich then proceeded to make tho
argument for a new trial on the grounds that
the verdict was contrary to the law and evi.
dence. Also that tho matter alleged in the
indictment was a proper subject for the
County Auditors and they should have been
indicted Instead of the Commissioners. That
the County Auditors filed their report and it
stands approved by tho court as a judgment
on the acts of tho defendants. Tho Commis
sioners, continued Mr. Ulrich, have always
acted upon the advice of their Solicitor and
if they made mistakes it was ouly human
nature. They wore not charged with fraud
ulent or criminal neglect, nor has any county
money been traced to thoir pockets. They
spent money judiciously and the buildings
they erected are there to-day. At tho same
time Mr. Ulrich declared that the verdict
was that of a fool jury.
Mr. Ulrich made a severe attack upon
Judge Pershing during his address, saying
that his (Mr. Ulrich's) testimony mid that of
tho defendants was as worthy of belief as
was Judge. Pershing's. He added that Judge
Pershing was an old man with his mind im
paired and ho had forgotten many things
that transpired between him and the Com
missioners. Mr. Schalck followed Mr. Ulrich and bad
very little to say. He replied to one or two
law points submitted by Mr. Ulrich and said
he could do full justice to the case In a few
remarks, as counsel on the other side had
simmered down to tho old question of argu
ing that the verdict was against the law and
evidence. He said this point had been
argued nil through the case.
Mr. Whalen followed briefly and Mr. Marr
closed tor tho defense, making a very strong
argument. One point he mado was on oue
of the indictments in referenco to painting
the inside of the court house. He said that
during the trial tho Commonwealth acknowl
edged that they had no ovidence to sustain
tho count and dropped it, and that they told
defense that they need not produce any evi
dence on that point, mid they didn't. Not
withstanding that the jury brought in a
vordict of guilty on that count. Mr. Marr
claimed that was sufficient for a new trial in
itself. He also claimed that there was no
court that would sustain a vordict in view of
the fact that the Commissioners, in all their
acts, had acted in accotdance with the advice
given by their Solicitor; aud that If the
Commissioners had gone contrary to the ad
vice of their Solicitor there would have been
a great howl, but whero they had acted offi
cially upon the advise of their Solicitor no
court would find them guilty.
Judgo liechtel has reserved his decision.
It Is expoctcd In a day or twe. The general
impression is that a new trial will bo
refused.

In the Trial of She-lff Marlln and His
Deputies.
THEIR LIYES WERE ENDANGERED
Only One of the Deputies Has Admitted
That He Fired a Shot at Lattimer,
and He Fired But Once, With
out Intent to Kill.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., March 4. The trial
of Sheriff Martin and his deputies I'm
the shooting of the strikers at Lattlnn i
on Sept. 10 progressed very slowly yes
terday, all the witnesses being ex
amined at great length.
Deputy Hess was recalled to th
stand and his cross examination was
continued. He said that he kept hi?
Etin after tho shooting for his own pro
tection, but would produce it in court
If necessary. He was sure he did not
fire a Bhot. He had heard no command
given to fire and does not know what
men of his company did shoot. Al
though the life of the sheriff waB In
great peril, the witness claimed he did
not order his company to lire upon tin
strikers, as he was afraid that the
sheriff might possibly be shot Instead,
as he was in the midst ot the bunch of
strikers.
John A. Salem testified to being for
four days a deputy sheriff. He said
he never fired a shot. He saw tin
sheriff assaulted as other wltnessis
have testified, and saw the main lnd
of strikers rush towards the deputing,
who were all on company property
when the volley was fired.
"I fired one shot," said Charles J.
Hacns when brought to the stand. He
was the first of the deputies to admit
that he had shot. He told how ho had
seen at West Hazleton Deputy Piatt
level his gun at a striker who was pirl:
lng un a stone. He also rode In tn
car with Thomas Hall and did not hear
him making any threats against the
strikers. "At Lattimer," he said, "I
saw tho sheriff hold up both hands to
stop the strfkers. In one hand he held
a paper. I saw him grab for a mail
and also saw two strikers with revol
vers thrust them at tho sheriff, while
another made a dig at him with a
knife. Then they rushed upon us, and
when they got within ten or fifteen feet
of us I raised my gun and fired. 1
thought my life was In danger, and felt
If they got at us they would kill us."
On cross examination the witness said
he did not fire at any particular point
of the men's body; that he did not take
aim, and that he did not desire to kill
and did not think he shot to take life.
Thomas Hall, who organized the
posse for Sheriff Martin, testified that
the sheriff had Instructed them not to
shoot unless their lives were In danger,
and said that he would tell tho strikers
to disperse, that If they refused lie
would make an arrest, and If thev re
sisted the deputies should shoot. Thu
witness continued: "When I saw the
sheriff surrounded I thought he was
gone, and when the strikers charged
on us I thought they would at least
disarm us. I did not shoot."
On cross examination witness said
that he hud organized a posse of coal
and Iron policemen on the Saturday
before the pherlff reached Hazleton.
This was at the request of Superinten
dent Zerbe of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company, whose colliery had been at
tacked and the men driven out.
Sheriff Martin was recalled at this
point and asked If he observed any
weapons on the strikers at West Hazle
ton. He answered that he saw three
men with revolvers In their hip pockets.
On cross examination he said he did
not converse with any of them nor did
he arrest them. Asked If any of tho
men In line at Lattimer had not been
sworn In as deputies he said: "Well,
there were not many who had not been
sworn In." He could not toll how many.
T. M. Coniff, a tlpstave. sdld that on
the night of the shooting he met
Sheriff Martin In the court house about
8 o'clock. The sheriff had a bruise on
his cheek and a scratch on his cheek.
This was the last witness for the de
fense and when he left the stand At
torney Lenahan announced the closing.
This morning the prosecution Is pre
senting evidence In rebuttal.
