Considerable interest centers in the
trial of Fred Wall and Bert Pratt for
the murder of G. w. Waterman, which
will take place at April session of court,
sitting next week. The coroners jury
that investigated the case at the time
of the murder have been subpoenaed,
but their secretary, J. Wood Piatt. still
refuses to deliver to the district at
torney the notes taken in long hand at
the inquest, the only record of the pro-
ceedings that was preserved. The only
explanation for such a course is that he
has been retained on the defense, and to
turn the papers over to the prosecution

that would otherwise fail to be brought
out against the prisoners. His claim is
that he was merely reporting for the
Scranton Republican, and that the
court had no right to the notes. His
claim is an unjustiflable one. He was
in the employ of the county, paid by
al. Nj t,,,. l,A

vestigating body, the county had a
claim upon his services that no news
