| pear at next term of Quarter Sessions-sen-
tence having been deferred
| This prosecution grew out of an occurrence
at political meeting at Curwensyille, pre-
viOus TO the October election; at which time
Geo. 4. Bloom, the prosecutor, struck Will
liam Addleman and broke open a-fresh Sc
we're wound received at sburg-Addle-
man having had his lower jaw badly shatter-
ed by ball at that hotly contested battle.
| It is alleged by the prosecutor, that the de-
PENDANTS after the fight III Curwensvlle went
to the house of Bloom with the intent OF
tarring and feathering him, for this assault
upon wounded and sick Soldier-and hence
the prosecution for riot Upon the trial Of
this cause, We are told, that the defence
clearly proved by number OF persons that
the prosecutor, George A Bloom was OF
bad reputation for truth, and that the testi-
mony Of himself and wife was conflicting
and contradicted in material points by other
evidence IN the case-that it was clearly es-
tablished by evidence that s. e. Pyles could
not nossiblv have been at Bloom house, as
he was at home and in bed ~ the hour fixed
by the witnesses for the Commonwealth, as
the time Of the occurrence OF the riot. We
are also informed, that the counsel Tor the
prosecution endeavored TO excite the politi
cal preiudices and feelings OF the jurors
against the priSoGers-the jury being diyi
ded o TO , politically-and that but for this
effort. at least Pyles would have been acquit-
ted. if not the others. We have deemed it
but due TO the defendants to make this ex-
platatieH, since the cause seems 10 have as
sumed more the character Of a political cru
sade, than the vindication Of our criminal
statutes. .-ED Journal.
