naturo bearing upon tho course of the fugitive
Last night Deputy CoronerThomas Manley
aud a jury held an inquest in the case. Tbo
ry was composed of Patrick Connors, Peter
tinghciser, John Heady, J. J. l'lynn, J. J.
Powell aud A. J. Flaherty. Deputy District
Attorney M. P. McLoughlin conducted the
examination of witnesses aud Martin Mooro,
one of the court stenographers, took the
testimony.
The first witness called was Edward Older.
His evidence was qui to the same as tho state
ment ho mado toa Herald reporter after tho
shooting on Saturday night, with tbo addi
tional important statement that when Sa-
duskey entered his houso beforo tho tragedy
ho remarked to tho witness, "I am going to
fix Kinghciser," which makes the evidence
of premeditation stronger. Gider also testi
fied that about ten minutes expired between
the time that Eaduskey and Kinghciser met
the last timo and the shooting, but in
this respect it Is believed that his idea
as to time is somewhat disarranged. He
stated Saturday night that about ten words
wero exchanged between the two mon just
before the shooting, but he could not toll
what was said, as he was not close euough.
However, tlio point is not of great importance,
as tliero is no evidence that Saduskey was
placed on his defense during the interview
Gider said he believed that Saduskey and
Uiughcisur had some difficulty about a week
or two ago. The grounds for this belief were.
tho witness testified, that Saduskcy told him
last Friday night that he would stab King
hoiser, but did not say why.
Martin Dowling, the young man who was
with Kinghciser at tho timo of the shooting,
testified to meeting tho deceased twice eu
Saturday, at 2 and S p. m. They spent some
timo on the hill and thr.n walked down to
tho timbor pile at tho Shenandoah City col
liery. Saduskoy joined them. lie aud
Itlngheiscr had a few words about a pipo and
Kinghciser struck Saduskoy. The latter
left. Witness didn't know where ho went
to. About half an hour later witness and
Itlnsheiser started for supper and met
Saduskey coming down from tho end of
Dowers street, from Morris stable Saduskoy
and Kiughcisor had words again, but witness
did not know what was said. He saw Sa
duskey shoot Kiughclscr when about a yard
from him. Witness saw Uiugheiser fall, but
said he was too full of drink at the time to
know much about the affair. Saduskey, he
said, was absent about half an hour, betweon
the timo that he left the timber pile aud the
time ho agaiu met Ringheisor. Tho shooting
occurred about 200 yards from tho timber
pile. Witness thought about five minutes
elapsed betweon tho meeting of Saduskcy
aud Ringheiscrand the shooting.
Dr. Spalillne testified that ho was
called to attend Kinghciser at 0:30 o'clock
Saturday night and found him In the Yedkois
saloon, lying. near the stovoand breathing
heavily. Ho caw at a trance that the man
was in a dying condition. Tho doctor said
ho commenced toprobo aud located the bullet,
Ho sent for Dr. Stein, who rame ten minutes
beloro the man died. The cavse of death
was hemorrhage from a bullet wound. Th
victim was in splendid physical condition.
Dr. W. N. Stein testified that he was called
to see tbo victim at 0:45 o'clock and fouu
him at his homo. He described the course o:
tho bullet. Tho point of entry was at tin
top of tho left ear and the bullet rested be
tween tho skull and skin about an inch
above the right car. Tho skull was fractured
by the bullet on the right side. The doctor
produced the bullet. Ho said tho hair ou the
leftside of the head was singed. The cause
of death was loss of blood and a gun shot
wound.
Tho verdict of the jury was as follows:
That tho said Charles Riugboiser's death
was caused on the 10th day of March, 1608,
by a gun shot wound. Said wound was in
flicted by a revolvrr In the hands of Charles
Saduskey ."

Pottsville, March 22. The closing 6ccnes
f tlio trial of Charles Moyers, ono of the
rcsont board of County Commissioners, was
enacted yostorday afternoon when Judge
Bcchtel charged tho jury, and at 5:30 o clock
they retired for deliberation.
Tho closing addrosses by counsel attracted
largo audience, and each took advantago
of tho opportunity for oiatorical display.
Mr. Wadlingor, for tho defense, mado an elo
quent appeal for acquittal and spoko for
nearly two hours. Ho was tollowed by John
Whaleu, Esq., in the closing speech lor
tlio prosecution. Tho speaker's sarcasism
was blttor when directed against the Com
missioners, and in his opening remarks out
lined tho work dono by the Taxpayers' Asso-
iation. He emphasised tho mannor in
which the county funds had been recklessly
squandered, and closed with a strong appeal
for conviction.
Judge liechtol's chargo was delivered in
a clear and distinct mannor. Ho said it
would bo improper for you as jurors to be
governed by what counsel has said on cither
sido in tho performance of your duty. You
must, continued tho court, bo governed alono
by tlio law aud tho testimony as heard from
the witness stand. Tliero are twenty-two
counls for your consideration. For your con
venience I havo placed theso counts properly
numbered on n piece of paper. Any count
not thus numbered you need not cousidcr.
Tho Controller's Act and all its requirements
were dwelt upon at great length. In this
connection tho division of contracts was
referred to so as to mako the payments under
100. thus evading tho 10th section of tlio
Controller's Act. Whether this was inten
tionally dono for this purpose is a matter for
your consideration, not for the court.
His Honor referred to tho printing of the
contest court testimony, and called to the
payment of $1.00 a page, which was subse
quently given out by bids at 37 cents per
pago. After defining what constitutes mis
domtanor in oflice the court instructed tho
jury to givo all the evidence fair and honest
consideration and do their duty as houest
men.
Tho jury returned a verdict before Judge
Ilechtol at oxactly 12 o'clock, noon, to-day
and found tho defendant guilty ou nine
counts of tho two indictments. Tho jury
was polled by Deputy Clerk of tho Courts
John Duffy aud each approved the vordict,
Tlio verdict reads :
"We, tho Jury in the case of tho Common
wealth vs. Charles Meyers, find tho defend
ant guilty as to counts Nos. 1, 0, 7, 8, 10 and
12. and not ffulltv as to counts .os. 2. a. u. u

Washington, March 22. The short
Bosslon of the senate yesterday was
quite unusual for the first working" day
of the week. Thot no one was prepared
to bo on with the pending measure
was given as the explanation, but
privately the opinion was stated by
soino of the senators that while the
Cuban question remained In such sus
pense there was no desire to take up
Important legislation. The outlook as
to Cuba was discussed among senators
almost to the exclusion of other topics,
and the belief was quite decided that
the administration Is preparing to take
a positive position within the next
week. Several senators made the pre
diction that the United States would
Intervene. Being pressed for a reason
they stated that they had reached tin
conclusion after more or less confid
ence with executive officers, but at
the same time saying quite emphati
cally that they had no positive in
formation on this point. Other sena
tors thought the recognition of Cuban
Independence more probable than in
tervention. Almost all expressed the
view that some action surely will fol
low the report of the Maine court of
inquiry regardless of Its purport.
A press dispatch from Key West is
given considerable credence in nfllclnl
circles. This dispatch states that Judg-'

of inquiry, came ashore at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon accompanied by an
armed orderly trom tne Iowa., who car
ried a bulky package of official docu
ments, which was handed over to Hear
Admiral Sleard. It Is believed the
documents are the full findings of the
court of inquiry. Lieutenant Com
mander Marix, when questioned on this
subject, refused either to deny or to
confirm, but an officer from tho Iowa
said tho documents were the long ex
pected report on the Maine disaster.
The papers were immediately examined
by the rear admiral and Commander
West. It Is presumed that If these
documents are the anxiously expected
report they will bo taken to Wash
ington today by Lieutenant Com
mander Marix.
The procedure In connection with the
submission o the report of the court
of Inquiry by the president to congress
Is now clearly outlined, und a cabinet
officer today explnlned the general line
of action at present intended to be pur
sued. A copy of the report will be laid
before the Spanish government very
early, and as soon ns enn be consist
ently done the report will be sent to
congress and made public at the same
time. The report to congress will be
accompanied by a message from the
president stating that, after receiving
the report, the conclusions were laid
before the Spanish government and
appropriate action from that quarter
asked.
It is stated positively that no part
of the report and no Intimation of the
findings has reached the executive au
thorities at Washington as yet. At the
same time, it is a notlcenble fact that
the current of official opinion 1b be
ginning to follow that of the unofficial
opinion expressed so positively and
persistently at Havana nnd Key West
that the cause of the explosion was
oxternal to the battleship. Opinion ex
pressed by the Maine survivors who
reached here last Saturday doubtless
has contributed Inrgely to this view In
official circles. In this connection u
Is understood that one of the officers
who arrived on Saturday stated, not as
opinion, but as his personal observa
tion on the night of the disaster, that
there wore two distinct explosions.
The tendency of this Is to support the
theory of oxternnl cause, as this Is
based on the idea that the first ex
ternal explosion was followed by a
Becond Internal explosion.
The Intense Interest In the report wa
manifested yesterday at the White
House and at the state, war and navy
departments. The president received
a number of congressional leaders,
among them being Speaker Heed and
Chairman Hitt, of the house committee
on foreign affairs. The visit of Mr.
Iteed naturally attracted much atten
tion, as he seldom leaves the congres
sional sphere to make culls on the
executive brunch, and it was naturally
Inferred that the purpose ot his visit
was to confer upon the Cuban situa
tion and its future before congress.
though neither he nor Mr. Hitt was
communicative. Secretary Long also
had an extended conference with the
president, but so far as It could be
learned It developed nothing additional
relating to the Spanish question.
