THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

Charles h. STRAIN, railroad engineer,
was convicted of misdemeanor under the
railroad act yesterday. The case is the
second tried in many years in
this county, the other being the case Of
Superintendent Starr, of the Pennsylvania
Company, for the Federal street disaster

bly,, consists of al employe of railroad

the company whereby such disobedience
person is injured or killed.

Mckeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad and
on May !, 1899, was. running engine No. "a.
At West Newton he received orders to run
the engine, light, TO CHARTERS for repairs.
The second section of No. 81, an east-bound

the right of way; the first section
had gone by carrying signals showing that
another section was following and he should
have looked at the train register which
would alone have showed the second sec
tion had not passed. The telegraph opera.
tors testified to the sorders given Strain
This closed the prosecution.

me. My father always wrote with
a good pencil, and if he placed the thin
paper upon his pocketbook 1 might find
traces of the numbers. Hastily taking
from nv own desk small microscope /
carefully examined the leaves of the book.
Here was what I sought. The numbers
stood out plainly, and I carefully copied
them into my own pocketbook. So much of
the difficulty being solved, 1 next turned
my attention to the safe The question had
still to be answered, "Hew had the thief
opened the safe?'' L obtained as good a
light as possibly could and made minute
examination of the safe. There seemed to
be no marks of rough usage, and it was
evident that it had not been forced
open. A duplicate key, then, must
have been used. But, as nothing
further seemed capable of being
found out from the safe itself, 1 locked it
and, proceeded to examine the desks of
Richardson and Hall, which were in an ad-
joining room. In the latter found few
loose slips OF paper-'tNightshad 20 to 1,
Everett;" Eagles Wing, 80 to l." ETC.,
etc. What did these mean? Evidently it
was connected with betting. L folded them
up and put them in nv pocketbook beside
the number of the notes. There seemed to
be nothing. else which would throw any
light on the affair in either my fathers
room or that OF the two chief clerks, so
turned out the lights and went home
The next day Hall was brought up before
the Magistrates, and, the evidence of the
detective having been given, he was COM
mitted for trial to the assizes, bail being re-
fused. He reserved his defense and was re-
moved to Jail. 1 asked for and obtained
permission to see him. He seemed very
much cast down and troubled by the
thought of the pain his arrest must have
caused to his mother and sweetheart. "But,
Mr.. Meredith" he said to me, 81 am ut
terly innocent of the theft. I hope you, at
any rate, will believe me. The matter of
the money standing to my credit in the
bank can be easily explained, though felt
that I could not urge it in my defense to-
day. In fact my Solicitor advised
me not to bring it forward, as at
present there is only my own unsupported
evidence for it. The assizes come on in
week, and by then hope further corrobora-
tion will be available. 1 received certain
information about fortnight ago that
rank outsider, as he was con-
sidered, stood a good chance for the st.
