the crouching men, scared speechless.

A Day With the Court.
Before Judge Lynch Joseph Yusha
wicz, who was convicted last week on a
charge of manslaughter growing out of
the killing of Martin Cawlev in tho de
fendant's saloon at Duryea on the night
of May 20 last, was sentenced to pay a
fine of SSOO and tho costs and to an im
prisonment of two years at labor in tho
county jail. M. 11. McAniff, the de
fondant's attorney, made a motion for a
now trial on the ground that tho verdict
was against tho evidence and tho law
and not in accord with tho charge of
the court. In denying tho motion Judge
Lynch said tho verdict of the jury was
not against tho charge of the court.
The jury, he said, was composed of in
telligent men and they had tried tho
case fairly. One of tho reasons, he said,
for so much crime in this county was
the carrying and tho reckless use of
deadly weapons. Tho court could soo
no reason why a man in this county
should have a loaded revolver, knife or
deadly weapon on or about his porson.
The defendant, lie said, admitted that
ho kept a loaded revolver behind tho
bar within easy reach. Yushawicz had
no right to take tho life of tho deceased.
An pdd shoo was the means of con
victing James Courtright, at Wllkes
barre, and sending him to jail for two
years. 110 was accused of receiving
stolen goods, the case being based on a
shoe found in his house, the mate of
which was in a box at tho Lehigh Valley
depot, which thieves had broken Into.
Joseph Vite, of town, ploadod guilty
to killing Ralph Salvadore, at llazleton
on June 29 last, in court yesterday, lie
was sentenced to pay a lino of SSOO and
undergo imprisonment for twelve years
in Eastern penitentiary.
A Suit for Damages.
A suit in trespass for damages in tho
sum of $5,000 was entered on Saturday
by Joseph Long against tho Ifazloton
and Wilkesbarro Railroad Company,
which is now laying the tracks for a
new trolley lino to connect Wilkesbarro
