UNIoNrowN SOLDIERS ORPHAN SCHOOL,
JUNoNvILLE, PA, April Il, 1884.
EDITOR HERALD On Friday, March 18th
we had in our school what might be called
mock trial 1t was the trial of a horse thief
and had been gotten up for the purpose of
| linstructing the pupils here as to the manner
! of conducting trials in court Ii had been
arranged beforehand that a man should go
/ to a neighbors barn and steal horse. The
/ trial was to De on Friday, the l4th, and
/ therefore a few days before the time the thief
went on his errand On going to the
ueighbors barn, he passed by 4 stone church
where boy was chopping wood. He told
| him toget ont of bis way, and tried to strike
! him. He was disguised by wearing false
moustache. and an overcoat turned inside
out. lie carried something in his hand,
which the boy thought to be a revolver. He
then went to the neighbor's barn and stole
the horse, and while pretending TO escape he
passed through the village, and was seen by
many. He afterwards sold the horse for
$500 and watch "a Il man who was sta
toned some distance from here for the pur
pose of buying it, On Friday evening we
all assembled in the school room for the
purpose of seeing the trial. The lawyers and
officers necessary had already been chosen,
aud everything was ready for the trial. The
prisoner was then brought in, and the trial
began. An hour or more was spent by the
lawyers in questioning witnesses, and then
Jhejury, of which your correspondent was
one, was called npOn to decide the fate Of
the prisoner. We could not a. rec, and SO We
agreed TO disagree. We, the prosecutors,
had a majority ftwO but for the sake the
small children who were becoming very
sleepy, We let it pass as an acquit,al
although We did not agree on such. The
court was then adjourned, and think that
all were not only pleased, but also instruct
cd by it.
We are now preparing for the State exam
ination, which will be held on the 18th of
May. We will be examined by State Super
intendent DR. L. E. Higbee and State In
spector. Rev SayerS, Of Harrisburg. We ex-
pect a large number Of professionals here to
witness the examination and we hope they
III be pleased. We have all studied hard
during the past year and think there is no
reason why we should not pass a good eX-
animation Our examination begins with
August. We will then have All opportunity
to see our dear friends at home once more.
