George e. Patch applied for new
trial of his case against the city, which
was decided against him last week.
Patch and his wife, 1t will be recalled,
sued for injuries which the wife sus-
tained by reason of being thrown out
of a carriage on the Notch" road at
q point where a ditch had been con-
structed by the city to turn off the
water. One Of the reasons given by
Attorney Soper in his petition for
new trial was that Judge Lynch erred
when he said
Gentlemen of the jury, excuse me,
but this whole case hinges on the ques-
ton of whether or not the water in that
ditch was muddy. If it was clear the
defendant could have seen the depth
of the ditch and he would be guilty of
contributory negligence in driving over
it -

CHILD DEAD WHEN BORN.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly Sue TO Recover
Damages for the Loss of Its
Services--A Unique Case.

Whether or not parents can recover
for loss of services Of a still-born child,
whose premature delivery was
consequent upon the act Of
the defendant is a question now
before the local courts. 1t is
claimed that, in New York state, in the
case of Butler against the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad company, the court
of appeals decided, indirectly that sl,ch
recovery was possible, though in the
case In question the plaintiff was un-
successful.
plaintiff was that the condition of the
child precluded the possibility of de-
termining, whether or not it would
have had an earning power had it
lived, and, if it was capable of earn
ing, what Its capacity would be.
In the local case these obstacles do
not exist, the child having been deliv-
cred physically perfect with the excep-
tior of life being extinct, and it is
argued that the New York finding is
per contra a decision in favor of the
local case.
The case Is that in which Mrs. Eliza
beth Kelly and her husband, Thomas
heily, are INC pldlHllllS anu lne oCrdH-
ton Traction company the defendant.
Mrs. Kelly boarded a car and was
about to sit down when the motorman
started the car with a jerk and she
was thrown heavily upon the seat, with
the consequences above indicated. She
sues for suffering and debiitation, the
husband claims for the loss of her SER
vices and both claim for loss Of the
services of the child.
The case was yesterday heard before
Arbitrators c. b. Gardner, ]. w. Wall
ker and E. w. Thayer Attorneys 1.
II. Burns and C. l.. Hawley appeared
| for the plaintiff and II. E. Hand for
the company. Mr.. Hawley, who made
the opening for his side, said that as
| far as could be learned the claim fea-
lures above was never before made in
| this state.

WAS A CROOKED TUBE.
Attorney stanton Couldn't Converse
Very Well Through PAUL. PazazakO.

Donnatta Pennate, Dunmore man,
was before Alderman O. B. Wright
last evening to answer a charge Of
desertion made by his wife, Conchita
Pennatte. She alleges that he has left
her alone for six whole weeks.
TO get out the fact of this neglect
ex-Judge Stanton, who was counsel
for the prosecutrix, met with an awk-
ward handicap, Mrs. Pennatte could
not talk English and no intelligent in
terpreter could be secured. Finally
one of the womans male friends, PAUL.
PozaZako, was used as an Interpreter.
He persisted in injecting opinions
of his own and never repeated what
Mrs. Pennatte said. The defendants
friends objected to this. They de-
manded fair play" 1t became neces-
sary to adjourn the case until an in
telligent interpreter could be found.
Pennatte was committed to the county
Jail until last evening.

L. B. FINCH KILLED.
His Body Was Crushed Between a Car
and a Wall at the Mar
vine Breaker.

Leander b. Finch, a well-known res
ident of CIR, ven Ridge, met death yester-
day mornin by an accident at the
Marvine COLI cry, North End. Mr.. Finch
was in charg of a gang of men en-
ployed in low rering the tracks under
the chutes at the breaker The work

dations.
In lowering the ira cks it was found
necessary to replace the ira cks closer
to the stone foundation. n. Yesterday a
car was run under the chu tes to see
whether or not it would clear the wall
The first car caught the wall and was
blocked.
Mr.. Finch gave orders this t another
car be run against the blockt d car and
force it through. This was done and
on getting out of the second cars way,
part of Mr.. Fipch's clothing caught
in the trestle and held him. The car
came along under the chute and Mr.

of the car and the stone wall. He was
rolled almost eight feet, his body being
terribly crushed.
REMOVAL OF THE EODY.
The workmen hastened and pulled
| the body from it's position, but life
| was gone. Finchs features were aw-
| full to behold. The blood had been
| forced to the face until it was black
and the flesh appeared to be burst

The body was first removed to the
breaker office and afterward to d. d
Jones' undertaking establishment, on
| North Main avenue The undertakers
wagon removed the body to the resi-
dence, 1928 Capouse avenue, where a

at the house last night. He found
upon examination that death was di-
rectly caused by the bursting of the

charged with brutality whipping his
stepdaughter. Is years of age, with a
buggy whip. At the examination 1t
was brought out that for two years the
girl had been subjected to almost I'M
haard-of inhumanity. Winebrenner
was sent 10 Jail, but public indignation
was further heightened when it was
learned that his victim was in pitt
able condition as a result of harsh
treatment
Shortly after midnight mob of 100
men, all masked, entered the Jail yard
from the alley. An attack on the Jail
was made and in twenty minutes an
entrance was effected. During the pro-
gress of the work Winebrenner sat
with his hat on. apparently uncon-
cerned Winebrenner was quietly APP
preached and told he was wanted,
when he began to protest feebly ut

to call for help.

grasped him firmly over the mouth.
He was taken from the yard on a run

big fence around the Jail being broken
down In the rush. Down Fourth street
to the railroad tracks and thence to
