STRIKE CASE IN COURT.
GRAND JURY IS DELIBERATING ON
THE LATTIMER AFFAIR.
An Attempt to OUBHII the Venire on
Technical Ground* Fail*—Judge Lynch
(■ivert Lengthy I nut ructions to the Jury.
Murder Defined by the Court.
It) quarter sessions court Monday af
ternoon before Judge Lynch, Attorney
John McGahren, representing the Citi
zens' Benevolent Committee of Hazle
ton, organized for the purpose of prose
cuting Sheriff Martin and his deputies
for the recent shooting of the strikers
at Lattimer, made a motion to quash
the venire of grand jurors who reported
to the court that afternoon. In support
of this motion Mr. McGahren read the
deposition of John Neinith, of Jlazleton.
to the effect that the sheriff assisted the
jury commissioners in drawing the jury;
which act on the sheriff's part, Mr.
McGahren contended, was illegal, as
the sheriff is a party to the issue, being
one of the defendants in the Lattimer
case. Mr. McGahren stated that the
record signed by Jury Commlsssioners
Dohl and Taylor states that the sheriff
had a part in drawing the jury. Asso
ciated with Mr. McGahren on the case
is John M. Gorman. The motion caused
considerable excitement in court and
tlie bar enclosure was
CROWDED WITH ATTORNEYS
anxious to hear the outcome of the
motion.
District Attorney Fell opposed the
motion of Mr. McGahren, saying that he
had Information from the sheriff and
one of the jury commissioners that the
sheriff was not present at the drawing
of the grand jury. He also opposed it
on the ground that he has sufficient
evidence, he claims, to find a true bill
against the sheriff and his deputies. A
lively tilt ensued between Messrs. Fell
and McGahren. Attorney John T.
Lenahan appeared for the defense.
Judge Lynch said the court was pre
pared to hear evidence on the case.
Jury Commissioners Dohl and Taylor not
being present the case was continued
until next morning. Judge Lynch told
the jury that owing to the motion ho
WOULD NOT YET SWEAR THE JURY
and told thorn they wore excused until
Tuesday.
Judge Lynch next morning heard the
argument of Attornoy McGahren. Jury
Commissioners Dohl and Taylor were
called to testify and said that the sheriff
was not present at the drawing of the
grand jury and in 110 way participated
in it. They said the sheriff was at Haz
leton at the time the jury was drawn.
Judge Lynch thought their evidence
sufficient to refuso Mr. McGahren's
motion. The jury was then sworn in
and instructed by Judge Lynch as to
their jurisdiction in dealing with cases
brought before them. Referring to the
Lattimer shooting the court said:
"I may add. gentlemen, that the dis
trict attorney may lay before you a
number of indictments charging felon
ious wounding and murder. Thogravitv
of these charges warrants me in placing
before you some of the facts regarding
the charges and incidents leading up to
them."
Ho reviewed the facts of the case up
to the
TIME OF THE SHOOTING,
saying, however, that the jurymen must
determine what was the attitude of the
strikers by the evidence presented. His
Honor then added:
"It seems, from the testimony sub
mitted to the judges at the preliminary
hearing, that the accused fired upon
these workmen and killed and sorioush
wounded many of the inarching work
men; that after the latter began to run
from the dangerous lire a number of
shots were fired by the sheriff's party
which took effect in the backs and sides
of the fleeing men.
"It is sufficient for the present purpose
to say that murder is an unlawfull kill
ing. accompanied with malice afore
thought. and that malice in the sense
here used, means not only spite, agrudgo
or particular ill-will, but also a case
where there is wickedness of disposition,
hardness of heart, cruelty, recklessness
of consequonces and a mind regardless
of social duty.
"A citizen, or any number of citizens,
HAS THE LAWFUL RIGHT
to pass and repass either afoot or by
carriage, over the highway. If it ap
pears that the workmen were peaceably
walking upon the highway toward Latti
mer for the purpose of persuading the
men thereat work to quit and join them,
and that in no manner by word or act
had committed a breach of the peace or
threatened to do so, then the sheriff or
theso with him would have no right
whatever to fire upon and wound or kili
any of the marching men.
"If there is a riot or danger of one it
is the duty of the local officers, the con
stables and other peace officers to do
their part, going personally to the scene,
commanding the peace, arresting all
who disobey and railing on all good citi
zens for aid.
"Should these officers neglect any
legal means of enforcing order they are
liable to indict merit, and if they Hud or
• anticipate their measure unequal they
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1897.
must Immediately
GIVE NOTICE TO THE SHERIFF
of the county. It is bis duty to sum
mon the power of the county or in less
number if sufficient. If the riotors are
armed or too numerous to be overawed
by the moral force of numbers, he must
command evey man he summons to
bring his arms. In such a supposed state
of affairs, the legal means which the
case requires the sheriff to use are every
moans, physical and moral, which lie
has at command and the occasion
requires.
"It will be your duty to examine all
the witnesses whose names appear on
j the back of the bills of indictments. It
j is not your business to try the accused
parties. All you have to do is to ascer
tain from the evidence whether a prima
facie case has been made out sufficient
to send the defendants to trial before r.
petit jury."
GRAND JUROR EXCUSED.
George Maue, of Hazleton, who was
drawn to serve 011 the grand jury now
In session, was permitted to withdraw
on Monday. Ho was a juror on the
coroner's inquest held on the Lattimer
victims and was one of the two who
sustained the sheriff and deputies In
their work. This, however, would not
have interfered with his services on the
grand jury. Ho was excused because,
having been awarded the printing of
the election ballots of the county, these
required his persona) attention.
Charles Guscott, the principal of the
Latiiiuer school, who was an eye witness
of the shooting, is in town attending
institute. Ho states that lie has not
been subpoened as a witness to go before
the grand jury. Why he is not he does
not know.— Newsdealer.

Temperance Society Organized.
At Eckloy 011 Sunday another Catholic
temperance society was organized. The
town bad already one good society, but
it was thought that the total abstinence
movement could be strengthened by in
ducing many who were not on its rolls
to join the now one. Permission to or
ganize was obtained from Rev. Titos.
Rrehony, and the society started out
with sixteen members. The name, adopt
ed is the St. Aleysius Young Men's T. A.

CONSTABLE'S STRANGE DEATH.
Upper 12nd Officer of the Law liies from
.SiiHpicious tVoiiiiih.
Philip McGuire, aged 05' years, was
arrested at l'lttston on Tuesday night,
charged with the murder of Constable
Thomas Delaney. He was committed to
jail by Alderman English to await a
hearing. Colonel Thomas Cook, the
general superintendent of the Pennsyl
vania Coal Company, while on his way
from his home to a trolley car late Mon
day night, was horriliod to find the body
of a man lying on the Lehigh Valley
tracks, directly back of Port Blanchard
hotel. Colonel Cook carried the body to
the side of tlio road and summoned as
sistance and secured lanterns.
The party found that there was still
life in the body. A close investigation
showed that the head was badly crush
ed. AH of the clothes of the unfortunate
man were saturated with blood and there
were pools of it on the railroad track.
It was thought he was struck in the
head by a train and rolled through the
dirt for some distance, judging by the
looks of liis clothes and person.
The injured man, who presented a
ghastly appearance, was finally identi
fied as Thomas Delaney, a well-known
resident of Port Griffith and constable
of Jenkins township. Ho was at once (
removed to the Pittston hospital, where
the surgeons found that his injuries
were fatal. His skull was fractured and
one side of the head was crushed in.
There were numerous cuts and bruises
on other parts of the body. He died at
7 o'clock Tuesday morning.
It was at first supposed Delaney had
been struck by a train and killed, but
later developments have aroused the sus
picion that he was murdered and his
body placed on the track. What these]
developments are the police will not say.
McGuire was arrested because lie was
last seen with Delaney near the point
whore the latter's body was found, and
because, though it is thought almost im
possible for him not to have known of
Delaney's death, he had not mentioned
it to friends nor volunteered any infor
mation.
Delaney was about 41 years of age.
He was married and leaves a wife and
eight children.

Cost of MarCtn'rt 111 under.
Governor Hastings lias drawn a war
ant for $15,000 on the state treasurer in
addition to the three warrants for $115,-
000 previously announced for tlio pay
ment of the expenses incident to the
calling out of the Third brigade and the
Philadelphia City Troop to suppress the
"insurrection" in this region. The ag
gregate cost of tlio strike to the state
will probably run higher than the $130,-
000 already drawn from the treasury to j
pay tlio troops, subsistence, trausporta
aud other military expenses.
