After the pleadipgs, the Court took up

The criminal business OF Cumberland
County Courts for the October term, be-
gan on Tuesday, in the old Court House
on the hill. The room in which judicial
actions were to take place, was filled with
spectators, probably because it had been
mede known that the celebrated case of
the State VS.. Sarah Munyan was to come
before the tribunal of justice; or, perhaps
1t was because the morbid curiosity of at
tending Court brought the crowd out, the
former, no doubt, the reason.
Ihere was quite an array of legal talent
on hand when Judge Ludlow said to
Court Crier CIevenstine, "Crier, open
Court!"
MISS Munyan, as she sat in the audi
ence, was the center of attraction for
most OF those in the Court room. She
was dressed in black silk, with beaded
lace in front. She wore a hat trimmed in
the latest style, with large black and
white feathers and a Swiss dotted vel
and white kid gloves. AS she sat there
her large bright eyes would glance furi-
lively around the room.
Agnes katz, the star witness in the
case, was taken out home to change her
toilet, and when she appeared in Court,
she wore neat fitting suit of gray and
green hat. She acted rather nervously
while the list of jurors was being called.
She took seat in the aisle back of Prose-
cutor Logue.
The first case called by Judge Ludlow
was No. of the Circuit Court issues,
Thomas Deluca VS.. Anthony Decker, on
contract, mechanics lien. A jury was
drawn and the case proceeded.
This did not seem to suit the average
spectator, as they thought the Munyan
case would be the first on.
