Found Guilty Yesterday.
THE OTHER U. S. COURT WORK.
Judge Whites Instructions to Commission

A GRISF OF NOTES FROM THE COURTS

The trial of Edward Brisbin, of Stoyes-
town, which is one of the numerous counter
feiting cases that are to be taken up at the
present session of the United States District
Court, took place yesterday. Brisbln was
defended by A. II. Rowand, Esq. b. X.
O'Dwyer, the secret service agent who
worked up the case, testified to having hrst
met Brisbin at StoyestOwn, April IL, 1859.
The detective was introduced as Sam Grifnth,
= book agent. The witness and defendant be-
came close friends, slept together. and almost
at once began to negotiate for counterfeit
money. Brisbin only offered one counterfeit
dollar. but wanted TO sell the molds, dies, ETC.,
for making the spurious coin. Later the wit
ness bought IS SO worth of counterfeit coin
for S.
SPECIMENS IDENTIFIED.
Some specimens of the coin were submitted
and identified by the witness. Attorney
Rowand wanted the witness to admit that he
was drunk when he called on Brisbin but
0'Dwyer strenuously denied that.
Daniel McSweeney, chief of the Secret Service
of this section testified to the arrest of Brisbn
after the case had been worked up by agent
O'Dwyer. Brisbin denied to the witness that
he made anything but good counterfeit monev.
Mr.. McSweeney identified some of the money
and the molds found at Brisbin's residence.
William H. Speicher, who was arrested as an
accomplce of Brisbin, turned States evidence.
He testified that Brisbin always had plenty of
counterfeit money, and that the defendant
told him he could have plenty of money il he
would do as certain party wanted him.
THE DEFENDANTS STORY.
The defense was opened by placing the de-
fendant, Edward Brisbin on the stand. He
said he was stonemason and blacksmith. the
detective, ODwyer. was drunk when intro
duced to him; the molds found in his house had
been made by his father for William Raeger;
the metal found in his house he used for re-
pairing lamps, and had found it IN the ruins of
q hardware store that had been burned down;
the spurious money found in his house he had
found.
Several merchants of Stoyestown we're called
and testified to the defendants previous good
character. This closed the testimony, and At
torney Rowand made strong plea for his &C.
qulttal, laying considerable stress on the al
legged fact of Agent O'Dwyer being intoxicated
1t the time of the alleged deal IN counterfeit
money.
The jury, after being out short time, re-
turned verdict of guilty, as indicted.

SOME TALL HUSTL[NG
That Was Done to Keep Verona
Borough as Dry as Possible.
THE TELEGRAPH PLAYED A PART.
A Duplex Aim In Rushing the Matter
Through on the Double Quick.
ATTORNEY YOST VERY WE'LL PLEASED

There was some lively hustling in the case
of Daniel Ritter, who asked the Supreme
Court for a certiorari on the Quarter Sessions
OF this county. Attorney William Yost says
j. P. Hunter, attorney for Ritter, did not
serve him (Yos) with notice of application
until 2:30 o'clock P. M, Friday, but the
cold water man seems to have got there with
both feet. He telegraphed a Philadelphia
lawyer named L. D. Nail to be on hand. and
put sprag into Ritter's wheel, if possible.
Yesterday Mr.. Yost got telegram from
Nail, stating that the Supreme Court had
refused the petition, also had decided not to
take any of these cases up out of the regular
order, and would not advance them in the
list.
THIS was the case in which the License
Court Judges ruled that Verona borough
had inherited prohibition from Penn town.
ship.
Verona temperance people have been
clanking their chains ever since the bor-
ough was incorporated, and had no hope
that they could ever escape the thralldom
which had furrowed their necks for 10
years, until the idea was broached that
Penn being prohibition, at least that
part of Verona which came off
Penn should be so also. AS a part comes
from Plum township which was wet at the
time of the incorporation of the Veronese,
it might be argued that it should be fur
nished with booze. But there was only one
applicant from that side of the line, and he
was knocked out on general principles. The
town, that is the population, lies almost en-
tirely on the dry side of the line, that is the
legally dry side. so far as at present ruled.
Mr.. Yost says there was a double aim in
rushing the matter, the first being to get Mr..
Ritter's license and the second to get the
decks cleared so that effective work can be
done to have the Legislature do some re-
pealing next winter.

NO CRIME WAS MEANT.

Daniel Cornish Found Not Guilty In Very
Short Order.
Daniel Cornish was found not guilty in the
United States Court yesterday. on a charge of
removing letter addressed to another from the
postofice at Tryonville. Crawford county. The
circumstances of the case were rather odd. A
young man named Avery had quarreled with
Cornish. and bit his finger off. Cornish sued
him, and Avery left the town. Some time after
ward ne saw letter in the postofice addressed
writing and took IL out of the box to see the
postmark. He thereby learned where the how
was. ~
Suit was then entered against Cornish for
taking the letter, but as it appeared that he did
not remove II from the Office or omen If he
had not violated the act of Congress, The iury
gave its verdict of not guilty in tha boI'
the first on record for the term. IVA

CAN'T SEE THE CLAIM.
Judge AchesOn Hands Down an Importau
Infringement 0niniou

Judge Acheson Hands Down an Important
Infringement Opinion.
Judge Acheson, of the United States Court
handed down an opinion yesterday morning in
the case of Schuette & Co. against William
Anderson. The plaintiffs were assignees of R.
b. Thompson, an inventor of mantel frame
adjustable TO any size of fireplace by a slide
and groove. The suit was on an infringement.
but in review of the case Judge Acheson does
not see the claim. He says the mantel made
by the defendant company is of different con-
structlon, as is provided for in Thompson's
patent, and further, that the specifications of
the plaintiff fail to describe the manner of the
entire construction of the plaintiffs mantel
1t is also cited that previous patent for ad-
Unstable mantels was given before Thompsop,s
patent and il is therefore held that plaintiffs
patent was not of primary character The
complaint was dismissed, with costs to the
plaintiff.
