Probably a Conviction.

On Saturday morning court room No.

ending of the sensational Grand Cen
trail case. The case is one of the raclest
ever tried In this court, and Judge
Lynch was frequently obliged TO call
order and finally to threaten 10 have
the court room cleared II the untlmely
applause and laughter were not
stopped. The attorneys roasted each
others witnesses and added In no small
measure to the enjoyment o. .he crowd.
The defense, opened by Mr SC2a. set
forth that Mr.. Price did not know that
women of the class mentioned We're
running to his house. but Mrs. hIt,!e
schgoede. the prosecutriX. told how she
visited the Grand Central. ana t1uu.

described how on another occasion she
WAS given wine which WAS dragged.
She gave the names OF several we'll
known people in and about t1iS CiN
who were there At the time. Several
other girls of the same stripe testified
they frequented tile hotel In company
with men. Some Of these women are OF
the most degraded and notorious class
In this part OF the state. Again there
were younger girls. lot more than IL t.
20 years old. who had visited the house
for immoral purposes. Mayor Nichols
was also on the stand and he save the
hotel a bad name.

gene Butler. Sheriff Whitaker. +. Mar

praise Of Price and his hotel.
The arguments of the attorneys were
brief and in plain language. District
Attorney Fell did not spare Price. but
denounced him vigorously, as keeping
a place where none but the vilest per-
sons of the community would so. Dur
ing the part of the argument where
Mr.. Fell denounced Price. the latters
wife broke down and wept bitterly.
For the defense, John Shea referred to
the witnesses who had c,llited Price
with running an orderly house. and
roasted" Mayor Nichols vigorously
He asked the jury to discharge Price
and put the costs on the mayor.
Judge Lynch's charge w5s brief and
impartial, simply stating the Law and a
brief epitome of the testimony.
Court waited after supper until $50
O'clock, and as the jury had not then
come in. the verdict will not be rendered
until this morning.

ABOUT STREET CLEANING,

plain of on That Score
There are people in Wilkes Barre who
complain about the condition Of the
paved streets. They are mostly people
who do not visit other cities that have
asphalted streets. and therefore do not
know how little cause there Is for COM
plalnt at home. They do not appre-
ciate the blessings they enjoy AS q
matter Of fact. there is not another
city in Pennsylvania whose paved
streets are as methodically or as thor
oughly cleaned as are those of Wilkes
Rame. Visitors from other and less
favored cities note and remark this fact
constantly. There are times when the
streets are in bad condition, but never
when the weather Is such as TO permit
them to be cleaned No. Wilkes Bar
reans havelittle cause TO complain about
the cleaning Of the paved streets. They
are habitually as free from dirt of all
linds as can reasonably be expected.
They are kept in cleaner condition
than the streets of any other city in the
state
