1T ISN'T SUCH A SNAP
To Be a Constable as 1t Used to Be.
and Not So Very Long Ago.
THE FEES NOW CUT AWAY DOWN.
Great Saving of Costs to the County Under
the New Order of Things,
END OF THE MARCH CRIMINAL COURT

Ann Wilson. another of the defendants
in the McKeesport sloplifting case, yester-
day pleaded guilty to two charges Oh lar
ceny.
The trial of these cases has demonstrated
in a practical manner the saving to the
county that will result from the new system
inaugurated by District Attorney Johnston.
Under it, the arresting officers who serve
subpenas must have their documents ap-
proved by the District Attorney or his clerk,
before costs are paid. In the case OF Phoebe
Collins, who was convicted Thursday, there
we're ten indictments against her for lar
ceuy and receiving stolen goods. The con-
stable yesterday presented his papers for ap-
proval.
The District Attorneys clerk at once
poticed that subpoena had been issued for
each count of the indictment, making ten
subpenas in all for the case. On each were
substantially the same witnesses, ranging in
number from to II. On each subpoena the
constable's bill called for 30 cents for sub
penain9 each witness, 81 apiece for witness
So and $40 day each for some of the wit
nesses. The sum total was $96.
The constable was informed that but one
subpoena would have been sufficient, and ne
would not be allowed the costs on the others.
He objected strongly, and the matter was
referred to Judge Ewing. He Immediately
vetoed all but one subpoena. The one al
lowed contained seven names, and reduced
the costs to S12, which was paid. In this
one case SS4 was saved to the county. Under
the old regime the bills would simply have
been sworn to by the officers and paid.
In another case, yesterday, OF assault and
battery, the constable had II witnesses on
his subpoena, and was only allowed four,
saving the county S19 80. In many other
cases a few dollars are knocked off here and
there, making large amount in the aggre-
gate. By the end Of the June term the
clerks will be able to make a comparison
with former terms, of the time and money
saved in running the Criminal Court.

COULDN'T FIND IT MALICIOUS.
Verdict for Defendants in the Echo of the
Murdock Bunko Case.


Murdock Bunko Case.
In the suit of Robert E. Barnett against
William Murdock, G. B. Perkins, Fred
Kochendoerfer, S. P. Andrews and E. D.
Todd to recover damages for alleged false
arrest in connection with the Murdock
bunko case, a verdict was given yesterday
for the defendants. Barnett had been ar
rested and indicted for completely in the
robbery, but upon trial was acquitted and
sued for damages. He was the proprietor of
of plumbing shop on Grant street. MIR.
Murdock, after he had been bunkoed,
thought that Barnett's shop was the room
where he had been robbed, but its appear
ance was different and he was not sure.
Detectives Perkins and Todd then visited
Barnett and made a pretense OF buying his
shop. While negotiations were pending
they visited house in Allegheny, where,
it was claimed, Barnett while under the in
fuence of liquor, made remarks about hav-
ing money, etc., that led to his arrest. The
testimony yesterday was almost a repetition
of that heard in the Criminal Court. Bar
nett was represented by Attorneys Blakely
and Porter, and the defendants by Robb
and Fitzimmons.
Judge Stowe, in his charge to the jury,
laid stress on the point that to sustain q ver-
dict for the plaintiff there should be shown
want of probable cause for the arrest, or
maliciousness. The jury was out but few
minutes, and returned with verdict Tor the
defendants

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. OF St Paul. one Of
the foremost men Of the Catholic church in
this country, recently put himself on record as
to the negro problem as follows: "My solution
of the negro problem is to declare that there is
no problem to be solved, since we are all equal
as brothers should be, and we will in consist
ency with our American and Christian princi.
Piles treat alike black and white. / know no
color line will lac none am not
shall be deemed by many, upon whose opinions
] set high value, as rash and untimely Yet /
fear not to make it, for believe l am right.
Ay, untimely to-day my words will be to-mor-
row timely. My fault, If there were fault,
would be that l am ahead of my day. The
time is not distant when Americans and Chris
tians will wonder that there ever was q race
prejudice"
A PREACHER, who had great "liberty," was
preaching from part Of the thirtieth verse
Of the tenth chapter Of Luke-"A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. and fell
among thieves" He opened his discourse
thus: "My brethren, the Bible is very won
full book. 1t says SO much in q word. Now,
there is very little said here about the ctarac-
ter of this man that fell among the thieves; but
know Just what sort of a man he was And,
first, he was a sober man; second, he was q pune
tual man; thirdly, he was an industrious man;
and fourthly he was married man, And
learn all this about the man from one single
word that the Bible says about him: 1t says he
was certain man. Now, We all know that
there is no certainty in drunkard. there is no
certainty in man who is not punctual to his
engagements, no certainty in an idle loafer
and there is not bachelor in ~ that
you can trust"-BdptistI IndeI.
