1t will be remembered that year age
John R. Howard Of this city was in
dicted in Morgan County upon ths
charge of bribing Juror in case m
which the Great Northern road was In
terested. The trouble had it's origin IN

yersing the order OF the lower court,
The appeal went to the Supreme Court

ion.
State of Minnesota, plaittiff, VS., John
R. Howard. defendant.
First-Neither a misnomer at crime,
nor the omission to give it any name, in
the caption of an indictment affects the
validity of the indictment.
SecAnd-An indictmentfor statutory
offense is sufficient If it alleges the com
mission OF the crime in the words OF the
statute, if by that means all that IS es-
sential to constitute the offense IS direct
ly charged But If the statute does not
set forth all OF the elements necessary to
constitute the offense to be punished, an
indictment whIch simply follows the
words of the statute is not sufficient. 1t
must in such cases allege the particular
tacts necessary to bring the case within
the inteIt and meaning of the statute.
Thlrd-An Indictment fer the crime oi
offering bribe to juror, under the
provisions OF General Statutes OF 1894,
section 634S. must directly allege that
the person to whom the bribe was Of
fered was Juror. that the defendant
kne it, also what was offered, naming
it, and the fact that it was OF value. and
that it was offered with intent to IN
fluence the action of the juror as such.
Fourth-Held, that the Indictment n
this case which was for offering bribe
to juror is bad, because it does not di-
rectly allege the scientcr. or any fact
showing that the thing offered to the
Juror was OF value. Order reversed.

all the arrangements for the fair as much

modern improvements can to protect proper

in considerable expense recently and the
proceeds of the fair are depended upon to
help defay the cost. The small sums that
may be spent at the fair will be nothing more

i'm. The men advised him to 60 to the lookup

of the prisoners as being one Of the four
men.
John Smith, also a tramp, was the next
witness He was in the boiler house with
Downs when the four men entered and spoke
to Downs. Smith was positive that both
Gauger and Wilson were two of the four
men.

before arresting Wilson he had a conversation
with the proprietress of the house where
Wilson stopped in Riverside and the woman
told him that Wilson arrived at the house on
the 10th inst. and never left the place after
This testimony was adduced to show that
it was the morning after the burglary that
Wilson hurried to Riverside.
Justice Cardn committed Gauger and
Wilson to the Pottsville Jail in default of
$1,000 bail, each, to await trial.
