Pennsylvania Riot bribery Trials.

HARRIsDURG, PA, March 0.-After the court
met this morning Judge Pearson, in answer to
an inquiry from the district attorney, said
that KGmble's plea should bo strpped OF

that his protest would be allowed to 90 on file
as II statement for the benefit Of the defend
ant; but 1t would have no bearing whatever, so
far rs tho plea was concerned, and should not
be part of the record. The counsel for the
defense snid that they had certainly misundor-
stood the court when they presented this plea
yesterday. They retired for consultation, aud
were out for an hour before they came to a
conclusion. They then came into court with
plea of guilty and the protest In form as
directed by tho court. The corrected protest
is as follows: Commonwealth vs. William II.
Kemble. The defendant at the time Ol filing his
plea to the bill of indictment protests that
said plea shall not he construed MS an ndmis-
sion that he did corruptly offer any money or
thing OF value to either or any Of the said per.
sons named In the bill Of Indictment aud
that said plea TO said indictment is pleaded by
him pro forma, he being unwilling further to
contend"
The case oftho Commonwealth against Emile
J. Petroif was then called for trial. After the
