Chas. Orion Stroll, attorney. Another View of Freeland Roys. Yesterday's Philadelphia Frees con tained a dispatch from Vilianova, from which tho following is extracted: The Vilianova base ball team, under the skillful direction of Coach Ilarley, is rounding into excellent form. The squad lias been reduced from twenty-livo to sixteen candidates, and it is probable that every man now at work in the cage will wear a Vilianova uniform, either as regular player or substitute, during the coming season. Although the regular players have not yet been officially selected, the filling of tho most import ant positions is virtually decided upon. When the men first reported for practice it was feared that the team would bo severely handicapped on account of a scarcity of pitchers. Breslin, whose phenomenal work in the box last season, was among tho candidates, but ho could not bo expected to do all the work. The management was not slow in recog nizing this deficiency, and immediately began a search for raw material. McFadden. a new-comer of colossal stature, was trying for second base, and his strong, accurate throwing soon attracted tho attention of Coach Ilarley add Captain Reilly. He was called aside from the squad and has since devoted himself to twirling under care ful instruction. He has a slow motion, but throws a speedy, deceptive ball, and possesses complete control of his arm. it will bo, a disappointment to Coach ilarley and all the team if McFadden does not prove one of the base ball won ders of the season. The shortstop will be Broderick, the only candidate for tho position. He iiatidies himself naturally, and as a ground coverer it will be difficult to find his superior among the college teams. CASTOILIA. TRIAL NEARLY ENDED. DEPUTIES' CASE WILL GO TO THE JURY THIS WEEK. Every Important Piece of Evidence Pro duced by the Defence Has lleen Con tradicted by the Prosecution—Only One Deputy Acknowledged That He Fired. The trial of Sheriff Martin and his de puties is expected to end this week. The evidence is all in, the law points of the case have been beard and nothing now remains to be given the jury but the closing speeches of the attorneys and the charge of the judge. On Saturday the legal battle on the points of law was fierce and long and every point was gone over carefully and in detail. Attorney Frank W. Wheaton, for the defense, occupied nearly two hours. He made a thorough argument of all the points, quoting numerous points of law from a stack of books as high as himself. He held that "a pri vate person inay lawfully endeavor to prevent those whom he sees engaged in a riot or rout from executing their pur pose, and lie may stop those whom he shall see coming to join thorn, and may arrest those who are not engaged in it. And for this purpose he may lawfully arm himself and make use of his arms in suppressing the riots." Attorney Scarlett, for the prosecution, made an able argument in reply to Mr. Wheaton, lasting for over an hour. 11c said that the deputies where hot the sheriff's posse, and were nut properly brought together to servo. Referring to the arms Mr. Scarlett said the sheriff should state how the men should be armed and said it would not be right for the sheriff to tell his men to come armed and they respond with a halting gun. He said they should guard against an excessive loss of life. He insisted there was no justification shown for the shooting and said the jury should be instructed for a convic tion. Mr. McGahren, Mr. Garraan and the district attorney also discussed tho mat ter briefly in support of Mr. Scarlott. At 12.45 o'clock court was adjourned until Monday morning, and the attor neys will make their closing pleas to the jury today. Mr. Scarlett will open for the prosecution. lie will bo follow ed by Mr. Lenahan and Mr. Palmer for tho defense, and District Attorney Mar tin will close for the commonwealth. The taking of testimony on behalf of the defense suddenly collapsed on Fri day. Less than a dozen of the men ac cused of murder were placed on the stand. Among the few who were called upon to testify to save their necks only one had the courage to acknowledge that be fired a shot, and he fired only once. Were It not for the seriousness of the case, the efforts of the defense to save tho defendants from punishment would be considered ludicrous. As it is, the high-priced attorneys who were paid to get tho sheriff and his posse clear were unable to produce evidence to justify the shooting, and a favorable verdict must be obtained some other way. Deputy A. E. Hess was captain of Company A, of the sheriff's posse, at Lattlmer. Hess swore positively in reiteration of his former statement that he did not give the order to fire, and that he did not fire. The commonwealth then tried to es tablish the fact that the deputies had made light of tho killing; that they held convivial parties and joked and laughed about the carnage at Lattimer. Hess admitted that the deputies met in re union, but it was purely social. Attor ney Garmau wanted to know the name of the deputies' organization, whether it was the "Deputy Sheriffs' Social Club." Iless said there was no name, so far as lie was aware. John A. Salem, of Ilarrlsburg, for merly of liazleton, testiiied to being a deputy for four days, lie said lie never fired a shot and returned his gun after tho trouble just as it had been handed to him. "I. fired one shot," said Charles J. liaens. He was the first and only one of the deputies to admit that be shot. He acknowledged that at West Hazle ton ho saw Deputy Piatt level a gun at a striker. On cross-examination the witness said lie did not fire at any par ticular point of the men's body; that lie did not take aim and that lie did not do sirc to kill and did not think lie shot to take life. Thomas Hall, captain of one of the companies, told about Lattimer and ap proximately tho same story as before re lated. He denied having fired. He did not assist witli the wounded, for he was detailed to stand on guard. When Mr. Hall left the stand Sheriff Martin was recalled. He testiiied that many of the strikers whom ho met at West Hazleton were armed. He saw three men who had their coats off witli revolvers in their hip pockets. The sheriff admitted that there were men in tho posse at Lattimer who had not been sworn in. Patrick ConnilT, one of the tipstaves in tho court, testified that be saw Sher iff Martin on the night of September 10 after he (Martin; had reached Wilkes- FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1808. ! barre and saw a scar on his cheek as | though made by a hard blow, and also saw scratches on his neck. Mr. Palmer said they would offer the testimony of several of the common wealth's witnesses, given at the pre liminary hearing, to contradict the evi dence given at this trial. Mr. Palmer said that at the previous hearing tin men did not refer to the meeting at Har wood in which resolutions were adopted not to carry weapons. Andrew Sivar, No. 2, was recalled and Lenahan began a cross-examination. "Did you say anything at the prelimin ary hearing as to the meeting at Har wood?" "No, sir, 1 was not asked." That was all, but Mr. (larman took the witness and he said Lenahan asked about it and he replied the crowd inet the night before and decided to go. Andrew Slvar, No. 1, was recalled and testiiied that he was asked nothing about the Harwood meeting at the hear ing before the judges. John Eagler and A. Novatine denied that they were ask ed anything about the Harwood meet ing at the preliminary hearing. These statements acted like a boome rang against the defense and their case collapsed at this point. They expected to show that the story .of the Ilarwood meeting and the resolution not to carry clubs or arms was not thought of at the preliminary hearing, but was tixed up afterward by the prosecution. This Ignoble failure of the defense brought a burst of applause from the spectators and caused even the jurymen to smile. Judge Woodward asked a significant, question of witness Joseph Costello as the latter was leaving the stand. "Wait a moment," said the judge, "I want to ask you something: Did you write me any letters during the trial?" "Me; why no sir," exclaimed Costello. What this means the judge would not state. Costello disclaims all knowledge of such letters, and is indignant at the judge's unwarranted question. The object of the commonwealth in recalling Costello was to have him give additional facts in regard to threats of violence made by Deputy Hess against Costello, who was helping a wounded striker. Counsel for the defense object ed to this evidence, but the objection was overruled. "I was helping a wounded striker," said the witness, "when Iless came up. I said: 'lt's a d shame to treat these poor fellows this way.' 'Shut up,' cried lless, 'or I'll treat you the same way,' and he leveled his gun at me." T. P. Ryder, I. 11. Strauss and C. E. Keck, three prominent citizens of the county seat, met the sheriff a few min utes after he reached home from the! scene of the shooting. They swore they ! saw no mark, discoloration or bruise on his face. This evidence, coming from such reputable men, flatly contradicted the fairy tale about the sheriff being marked about the face and neck. Eckley Man LOMI an Eye. John Campbell, an elderly man of Eckley, met with a serious accident at Hazleton on Saturday evoning. While visiting at the residence of his son-in law, Hugh O'Donnell, he called upon a neighbor with whom ho was acquainted. During his stay there he preferred a coin to one of the little children in the house, and the child, rushing towards him, bumped him and caused the old man to lose his balance and fall to the floor. A baby carriage, with the rim off one of the wheels, was standing close by. On this Mr. Campbell fell with force, and a spoke of the wheel entered under his eye-ball and forced that organ from its socket. lie was immediately removed to the miners' hospital and given all possible attention, but roports are to the effect that the sight will be lost. The Injury is exceedingly painful and lias considerably weakened Mr. Camp bell, who has lieon in ill health for some tiino. Ho is the father of Miss Sallie Campbell, of Walnut street, and is well known here. Llcenna Court Decisions. Court on Thursday handed down the decisions in regard to license applica tions.

Christ Kennedy, of town, and Patrick Dover, of Frooland. shot a match in the ball park yesterday. Both are good shooters, but neither came up to the expectations of their friends. Eight pigeons were shot at by each man, Dover killing four and Kennedy three. Out side the bound limits was an army of men with guns who banged at all birds which escaped the contestants. Among the recent changes of minor officials in the mines was the transfer last week of Ben Cross, the popular driver boss, to spare driver. Mr. Cross' position was filled by the appointment of Fire Boss Joseph Williams. The ladder of promotion in this locality is turned upside down. Work at the shops is slack again. j Several men in the boiler department | were suspended on Thursday until fur ther notice. Luther C. Smith, superintendent of the Drifton companies, is seriously IP. Ilis condition at present is considered dangerous. PERSONALITIES. Mrs. James McGlnty, of old Buck Mountain, will remove to Wilkesbarre next week.

It does business under a charter granted by New York state, and has received the approbation of all the Catholic bishops of this state.

Mr. Boyle received considerable en couragement in Freeland and expects to institute a branch here in a short while. St. Patrirk'H Day Parade. Representatives of the Catholic socie ties of St. Anu's parish met yesterday and agreed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, March 17, with a parade in the afternoon, starting from tho church at 1 o'clock.

County Controller Lloyd, who lias taken upon himself the task of minding the business of every other official in Luzerne county, was brought to time sharply last week by the commissioners. Since entering the office Lloyd lias made a nuisance of himself by interfering with other officials' duties, and in his efforts to economize and reduce expenses in all departments but iiis own lias in volved the county in ligitation on all sides. His policy of wasting dollars to savo pennies has brought upon him deserved critism from his own friends as well as from his political opponents, and his efforts to make a reputation which would insure his rcnotuhiution appear to have come to a sudden end through his negligence in failing to file his bond and oath of office, as required by law. County Treasurer Robinson, through Ills paper, the Wiikesburre Telephone. says that a few days ago the commis sioners discovered that, the controller had not complied with the law, as to recording and filing a bond, and imme diately took steps to ascertain the reason of the neglect, and if possible to compel that officer to at once comply with the law, or show cause why ho exercised the rights and privileges of the office. Mr. Lloyd at first claimed that he had delivered his bond to Commissioner Nor ton at the proper time, but Mr. Norton stoutly denied that lie had ever seen it. and after seme further controversy be tween the commissioners and controller, upon a written demand made by the commissioners, Mr. Lloyd produced the bond, and it was left at the recorder's office for recording. His oath of office lias not yet been filed, and it is also a question as to whether his acts as con troller are legal. It is a question if the controller would have allowed any other officer in tho court house to have kept posession of his own bond, and that not on record, until more than two-thirds of his term had expired. It is said that the deputy and clerks have not yet complied with the law as to their oaths, and that steps will be taken to have them qualify also. A Great Trunk Line. The Wiikesburre Newsdealer' * repre sentative in New York secured an in terview with Calvin S. Brico on Thurs day, and from him learned that New York capitalists are planning for another great trunk line from the metropolis to Chicago. The present arrangements are to run via the Jersey Central to Tutnaquu, over the Reading to Willianisport, and over numerous other lines to the Western city. Mr. Brlce, however, is further quoted as follows, and his remarks give local interest to this big scheme, lie said: "There may be one change in tho plan. A direct line may be run from the New York, Susquehanna and West ern tracks across Monroe county, reach ing to White Haven, l'a., where connec tion will be made with the Central and and then over tho Delaware, Susque hanna and SSeliillkill to Kuan, Pa., and then over the Reading to Tamuqua. This would make a lino 72 miles shorter than the Pennsylvania and 118 miles shorter tliau the Lehigh Valley.'* First District Delegates. The Democratic committee of the first legislative district, at Wiikesburre on Friday, elected tho following delegates to the state convention: M. J. Whalcn. Peter Forves, W. S. Gibbons and John T. Lenahan. The friends of State Chair man Garman claim that three out of the four delegates are friendly to him. Mr. Lenahan, of course, is Garman s enemy. Garman says tho result is a victory for the Democratic party, not for any fac tion. S. W. Boyd, one of Garman's candidates, was objected to by Lenahan. It is said he will make a contest. The chairman, who it is alleged, was friendly to Lenahan, threw out three of Boyd's delegates, and refused to entertain an appeal. Buying Up Democratic Papers. There is an unverified rumor going around that ex-Congressman John Leisenrlug, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is at the head of a syndicate which lias purchased the Pottsvillo Chronicle , ono of the oldest Democratic papers in the state. Mr. Lelsenring, it is also said, is also chief owner of the Wiikesburre Newsdealer, which last week passed into tiie man agement of John McCarthy. Mr. Mc- Carthy •fill have charge of the Chronicle. hut whether in connection with the Newsdealer or alone is not stated. The Chronicle has denied that portion of the rumor which relates to it being sold, and it is possible that the News dealer story is also untrue.
