MURDER TRIAL BEGUN.
SHERIFF MARTIN AND DEPUTIES
ARE BEFORE THE BAR.
S.T.rnt of tlie Accu.pd H,re Kern Dltt-
Gh.rßed on Motion of tlio Ill.trlot
Attorney, Thero Being no Kvidence
A£ulQttt Thero— Tbo Jury Selected.
The trial of Sheriff James Martin and
seventjr-eight men who were sworn in as
deputies, charged with shooting and
kilting eighteen men and wounding
thlrty-livo others at Lauimer 011 Sep
tember 10, 1897, began on Tuesday in
the courts of this county. The brutal
crime which these men have to answer,
by the nature of the circumstances sur
rounding it, has obtained nut only a
national reputation, but has gone across
the seas and found a place on theachlves
of foreign countries. Newspaper read
ers the world over know the details of
the Lattlmer massacre, hence their re
petition is unnecessary now.
The case promises to be one of the
most interesting ever tried In Luzerne
courts. District Attorney T. R. Martin
is conducting the prosecutiori, assisted by
James Scarlet, of Danville, one of the
leading criminal attorneys of the slate;
ox-District Attorney John McGahren, 1
ex-District Attorney and Democratic
State Chairman John M. Garman, of
Nanticoke; E. F. McGovern, of Wilkes
barro, and P. F. Laughran, of Hazleton.
John T. Lonahan, one of the most emi
nent criminal attorneys In the stale, is
the chief counsel for the defendants,
assisted by ex-Attorney General 11. W.
Palmer. George S. Ferris. F. W. Whea
ton and George If. Troutman.
There are many questions of import
ance which will be settled at this trial,
chief among them the question to what
extent citizens can use the public high
way with demonstrative attempt without
being considered riotous.
There will, too, in somo measure he
settled the question of whether the
Austrian, Italian and German govern
ments have ground for a claim for dam
ages, citizens of those countries being
among the killed and wounded.
Extreme interest Is manifested in the
case throughout this county, and the
corridors of the court house are daily
thronged long before the doors of the
court room open.
When the trial began on Tuesday
morning, with President Judge Stanley
Woodward on the bench, the first move
ol District Attorney Martin was an un
expected one. lie moved for a nolle
prosequie in the case against Leonard
Habcock, Wallace Drum, John Dough
erty, John J. Gallagher, William Mul
hall, Fred A. Sleppy, William Costello.
William Seiwell, Calvin Pardee, Jr.,
John W. Crooks, Jr., R. C. Warriner,
Thomas A. Harris, Samuel Erinold and
Craig Anderson. He explained that
these deputies had not been present at
the scene of the shooting, and thorefore
the commonwealth would not ask that
they be held under indictment. It is
supposed they were in the vicinity ol
Lattfmer store, guarding that establish
ment, when the foreigners were shot.
Att.ornov Lenahan objected vigorously
to this, declaring the deputies hud a
right to demand a trial by jury, that the
stigma of guilt might be fully removed
from them. After argument the court
granted Mr. Martin's motion. Samuel
J. Gundry, another deputy, was also
given a nolle pros. 011 motion of Attorney'
Wheaton, for the defense, who said the.
man's wlfu was dying.
Each deputy answered to his name
when called and stood aside. The fol
lowing names on the list did not answer:
George E. Ruble, who is unknown;
Harry Dehl, who disappeared after the
shooting and may be running vet;
Thomas Brown, not present. Later
Brown appeared.
Contrary to general expectation, there
was no argmuont regarding the question
of trying the defendants altogether or
separate, the defense agreeing to the
state's proposal to try them as a whole.
The jurors were then called for ex
amination, and out of over forty examin
ed all but seven were rejected, having
formed opinions regarding the prisoners'
guilt. The seven accepted were; Eli
Weaver, laborer, Hunlock township; C.
R. Shaw, carpenter, Ross township;
Aaron Foliman, ropomaker.Wilkesbarre;
Alfred Stevens, clerk, Wilkosbarre; A.
If. Shields, carpenter, WHkesbarre; Her
man Crcggory, farmer, Huntington
township, and Adam Larvon, tinsmith.
Sugar Loaf township.
Among the jurors was A. W. Wash
burn, of Freeland, who was challenged
for cause, on the gronnd that he had
recently been employed by somo of the
defendants, lie was stood aside until
yesterday, when lie was accepted by
both sides after the entire panel of sixty
jurors had been examined. Mr. Wash
burn was the twelfth juror chosen.
Yesterday morning the first juror
chosen was C. C. Ransom, a contractor
of Plymouth. This made eight jurors.
The ninth was It. M. Rood, a farmer of
Ross township; the tenth was Jonas
Oxrlder, a carpenter of Sugarloaf town
ship; the eleventh was H. M. Wolfe, a
farmer of Ross township, and Mr. Wash
burn was twelfth.
After the jury box was filled court
adjourned until ibis morning.

OABTOHIA,
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Routine liuxlus Transacted at Last
Evening's Session,
All the members of the borough school
board were present at the regular meet
ing last evening, except Director John
sun. The following bills were ordered
paid: American Book Company, books,
$9.00; E. 11. Butler & Co., books, $30.44;
Ginn fc Co., books, $9.17; A. S. Barnes &
Co., books, $10.80; Cross Creek Coal Com
pany, coal, S3O; A. 11. Freas, hauling
coal, sl3; TRIBUNE, advertising, $1.53.
A bill from A. A. Bachman, painting,
SB, was laid oVer. The president voted
against the TRIBUNE'S bill because the
price was 30 cents higher than the
amount for which another paper had
agreed to publish the same advertise
ment. It passed by a vote of 4to 1.
The secretary reported that ho had
engaged Mrs. Donlin to clean Birvanton
outhouse. A motion to pay her $2 for the
work failed to receive the votes of a
majority of the board', and the matter
was laid over until she sends in a bill.
Principal E. F. Ilanion reported that
ho had placed Miss Katie Winter in
charge of the room taught by Miss
Dougherty for one-half day, also for the
same length of time in Miss Herron's
room. This was done rather than send
the pupils home during the teachers'
illness. The board did not take any
action on the report. The president
thought the principal had exceeded his
powers in engaging the substitute
teacher.
The statement of the bonded indebted
ness was read and ordered copied in the
minute book.
The secretary was instructed to pur
chase two dozen Hull's arithmetics for I
the primary grade in the Daniel Coxe
school.

on placing urinals in the buildings that
he had a hid from a local plumber to ;
place slate urinals of four stalls for the |
Daniel Coxe school, and two stalls for
the E. B. Coxe school, with necessary |
fixtures, for $54. It was decided to !
place slate urinals, they being more
suitable than any other, and the secre
tary was authorized to receive bids from
other local plumbers on the same.
Mut Send Children to School.
J. li. Clark, of Wilkosbarre, was ar
rested for not sending his sons, William
and James, aged 10 and 12 years respec
tively, to school. He claimed that the
hoys were incorrigible and played truant,
but Alderman Donohuc, before whom
the case was brought, fined (.'lark $5.10
and ordered him to send the boys to the
House of Refuge if they still refused to
attend school.
This is the first prosecution under the
new compulsory school law, which pro
vides that all children' between the ages ,
of 8 and Hi years shall attend school at
least 70 per cent of the term, except
those between the ages of 13 and 10
years who are employed at some useful
work.

conspirary to defraud W. B. Koons, of
Audcnried, were delivered on Monday

POLITICAL PICKUPS.
Edwin F. Warner, of Weatherly.
Democratic candidate for poor director,
paid a visit to town on Tuesday, accom
i panied by Percy E. Faust, editor of the
Weatherly Herald. Mr. Warner is one
of the most prominent merchants of his
town, has a thorough knowledge of the
poor district and is just the sort of man
needed bv the taxpayers to manage
the big institution at Laurytown. lie
served twelve years on Weatherly coun
cil and has taken a leading part in
the building up of that enterprising
borough. The candidate is engaged in
the furniture business, not a seller of
groceries and provisions, as some of his
unscrupulous enemies allege. The
nomination came to hint unsolicited, but
since the party has seen lit to make him
its candidate he is making a vigorous
fight for election.
James M. Ktauffor. burgess, and J.
Williams, tax collector, of Heaver
Meadow, have been appointed by the
court of Carbon county to continue in
ofiice until the regular spring election
in 1900. At a special election last June,
Messrs. Htauffer and Williams were
elected to oflico, but this is not in
accordance with the act of the legisla
ture, as these offices, under the condi
tions then existing, are appointive o&iees.
The politicians of all parties in Foster
concede that nothing but wholesale
treachery in Democratic ranks can
defeat the Democratic ticket. The
strife among the Republicans insures the
election of every candidate, and if any
other result prevails some men in Foster
should cease to be Democratic leaders.
Four of the five wards in Freeland
borough are expected to give majorities
for all the Democratic candidates in
these wards and more than half the
ticket will pull through in the other ward.
The Republicans have renewed the dis
sensions of a year ago and are sharpen
ing their knives for one another.
About twenty-five people were at
Wilkesbarro on Monday in connection
with the contest to determine which
faction of the Republicans in Foster is
entitled to the party column. The case
was not called, and the witnesses and
others interested.were notified to appeal
again on Saturday.
The nomination of two Republicans
for school directors at large, upon the
advice of a Democrat, and then the
withdrawal of their names from the
ticket, upon the advice of other Demo
crats. has disgusted Republicans with
the party leadership in Freeland.
Joint Cudish, of Beaver Brook, has
been placed on the llazle township
Democratic ticket to fill the vacancv
caused by the withdrawal of Frank
Fisher, candidate for treasurer.
