President Mitchell and his corps of statisticians, lawyers, socioligists and practical miners reached Scranton last evening. Siuco the termination of the strike they have been working day and night gctting'a mass of evidence in shape for presentation to tho commis sioners. Every detail has been care fully attended to and Mr. Mitchell and his co-workers are confident that they will present a case that the operators and their attorneys will find It difficult to break down. It is the belief of Mr. Mitchell that most of the miners' testimony will be taken in Scranton, as many of the min ing towns in tho region have poor hotel accommodations. Should it be decided to have the greater part of tho work done in Scranton miners will be sum moned there from all over the region. The members of tho commission have engaged fourteen rooms on tho second floor of the Jennyn hotel for the use of themselves and their secretaries. All the big corporations and the in dependent operators are represented by counsel at tbe hearings. Ex-Judge Al fred Hand aud J. E. Burr is associated with John B. Kerr, tho general counsel of the Ontario and Western. James 11. Torrey is associated with W. O. Wilcox, vice president and general counsel of tbe Delaware and Hudson. Major Everett Warren will look after tho in terests of the Erie Co. John T. Lena ban, of Wilkesbarre, aud Joseph O'Brien, of Scranton, are engaged to present tho case of the non-union men. . The miners will also havo a number of able lawyers, among them being Mr. Weyl, of Washington; Mr. Darrow, of Chicago; James L. Lenahan and John and James F. Shea, ef Wilkesbarre, and John J. Murphy, of Scranton. Trial Suddenly Ended. The trial of the case of John Smith, one of tho murderers of the Watchman Daniel Sweeney, atNanticoke, suddenly terminated, when the prisoner, acting under tho advice of his counsel, with drew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty, the degree to be fixed by tho court. Owing to the circum stances of the case and the fact that the evidence against the defendant was mainly circumstantial, the district at torney and Judgo Wheaton agroed to the change of the plea and the degree of the crime was fixed as murder in tho second degree. Michael Yushkis, another of the four men charged the murder, was then call ed for trial before Judge Halsey. The prisoner hold a short consultation with his counsel aud when the indictment was read to him by the district attorney and be was asked to plead he entered a plea of guilty through his attorneys and agroed that tho degree of tho crime should be fixed by tbe court. In order that Judge Halsey could have an understanding of the facts connected with the case Paul Torachek, one of the men who was tho first to attempt to clear his skirts of the crime, was called to the stand and examined. His story was a practical repetition of the evidence ho had given iu the trial of Smith. After hearing some more testimony Judge Halsey fixed the degree ot tbe crime as murder in the second degree FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1902. and tho prisoner was remanded to the jail to await sentence. The trial of Ignatz Sbukls, the third defendant, was then set down for Mon day next, and at its completion Tom chek, the fourth man, will be called upon to face the jury. Those who have followed tho case and who are acquainted with inside facts are satisfied that It was not tbe Intention of the defendants to kill Sweeney, but that they were aDgry because ho remain ed at work during thestrlke and Intend ed to beat him. Selecting Assistants. County Treasurer-elect John J. Moore does not believe in keeping any one in suspense regarding the appointments he has to make In his allien. His official family will be made up as follaws: Chief deputy, George T. Kirkendall, of Dallas; clerk, J. P. Mundy, of Wilkes barre. Mr. Kirkdenall is at present a clerk In the office. Mr. Mundy is a member of Wilkesbarre select council. It is understood that Commissioners elect Finn and Scbappert have decided to appoint James VV. Holman, of Hazle ton, who was dofoated for register of wills last week, as chief clerk iu their office. W. J. Devaney, of Wilkosbarro, Is said to bo in Hoe for the asslstaut chief clerkship. With regard to tho other appoint ments nothing has yet been definitely decided upon and may not be for some days. There are a number of candi dates for clerkships, among them John J. NcNells, of town, whose application Is endorsed by practically tho entire local Democracy,. Mr. McNeils Is one of Coxo Bros. & Co.'s blacklist victims and deserves to bo recognized, not alone for his heroic stand during the strike but for his unswerving loyalty and fidelity to Democracy in every local and general campaign since he entered politics. Ills appointment would be a tribute to party work which has been well earned and would meet with the approval of every lower end Democrat who believes in re warding those who have given years of honest service for the ticket. Register of Wills Mainwaring, who was re-elected, is said to be contemplat ing some changes in his force. One of the names suggested as likely to be chosen for deputy register is that of W. J. Morgan, of town. His appointment would be pleasing news to his many local friends. The Spring Election.
