But little headway was made In the
Won Storch ejectment case yesterday
owing to the almost constant wrangiing
over technicalities among the ten at
torneys engaged In the case.
The first witness called was A. p.
Dunning, jr., who identified a map OF
the premises In dispute. The defendant
at this Juncture made a demand for
a certain sheriff's deed of transfer from
the PLAINTIFFS attorneys. The latter
denied all knowledge of any such In
strument. The DEFENDANTS attorneys
thereupon asked for an attachment to
bring the plaintiff, william Won Storch,
into court, but when DR.. ]. X. Bentley
took the stand and testified that MIR.
Won Storch was too i'll to leave his
bed, Judge Archibald declined to issue
the attachment Permission, however,
was given to take the sick mans testi-
mony at his home.
Ex-Judge Garrick M. Harding, OF
Wilkes-Barre, was on the stand all
afternoon, and will be called again this
morning for cross-examination. Judge
Harding was the law partner of Henry
M. Fuller, who it will be remembered
from yesterdays story, was mixed ur
In nearly all the legal transactions con-
cerning the estate.
1t was proposed to show by Judge
Harding that when Attorney Fuller
purchased the property in dispute al
sheriff's sale he was acting for Ferdin.
and Won Storch; that he held the
property in trust for Ferdinand. ant
consequently title derived from hin
is not regular.

THOSE WHO HAVE ARRIVED.
The members of the legion who had
arrived in the city last night were:
General Theodore S. Peck, Burlington,
VT; General st. Clair A. Mulholland,
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-06-09
ENTITLED TO FOUR.

One of the most interesting members
of the Legion is Major Moses Veale, Of
Philadelphia, who is a member of the
bar of that county and was health off,
Ger of the city for a number of years.
He was wounded five times during the
war and had two horses shot from un-
der him. He won his medal by an act
of bravery at Wauhalchie, Tenn, in
planting cannon which kept the rebels
back and probably saved the lives Of a
large number of the fourteen hundred
men in his command. He was wound
ed in the shoulder while planting the
guns but refused to leave the field un-
til the engagement was over. This
fight occurred at the foot of Lookout
mountain.
Later during the war he was shot
through the lung at Pine Knob while
in front Of the Union lines trying to as
certain the number of the enemy and
the proposed movement. He was sup
posed to be fatally wounded and was
carried to the hospital in the rear of
the lines by ex-Chief of Police Simpson
and William Gardner, OF the One Hun
dred and Forty seventh Pennsylvania
volunteers. Major Veale was entitled
| to a medal for four different acts of
heroism, but the one at the foot of
| Lookout mountain is the one for which
the distinction was awarded.
AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
One Of the interesting Incidents that
occurred last night at the reception
was the meeting of Patrick II. Doody,
| of New York, and Charles Sheridan, of
| Winton, who served together in the
Irish Legion, but have not met since
the war. Doody was only a private,
but he was selected for the hazardous
work of ascertaining the position of the
enemies line at Cold Harbor on June
| Z, 1864. He afterwards led the skirmish-
ers out and captured the rebel rifle
pits and wound up the days work by
| sending to his eternal reward a rebel
| sharpshooter who was picking off the
| Union skirmishers in the rifle pits.
Before Petersburg a few days later
his name was read on the roll of hon.
or, and later the medal was conferred
| upon him by congress.

Elizabeth, N. j., a command that has
united nearly every state and terri
tory and city in the United States. In
1886, the zouaves made a tour of the
American continent being absent from
New Jersey over a month, and six
years ago General Drake and his Zou-
aves made tour of the Southern
states, New Orleans being the objec-
tive point. General Drake has been
a newspaper publisher for forty-two
years, and is still in the harness:

DATES ELUDED HIM.


The venerable judge had the whole
story Of the case at his fingers ends,
but at is reaches back half a century
he could not remember dates or places
and rs the law requires that oral tes-
timony of an agreement shall be iden-
titled as to time and place, little CT
the judges story could be adduced.
Judge Jessup tried in every way
known to cunning examiners to draw
out what his side wanted Judge Hard
ing to tell, but at almost every step
he was blocked by an objection from
Major Warren and Mr.. Farnham. and
as consequence, the witness threw
little if any light on the case.
Judge Harding frankly admitted that
it was impossible for him to tell in a
regular way what had occurred at the
various meetings between the Won
Storchs and their attorneys. He knew
what agreements had been arrived at
but could not tell how they were ar
rived at. He was present at all these
meetings, but as they took place half
O cenlury ago he could not even at
tempt to give the substance of the con-
versations. He knew the results, but
these did not establish the dealings
leading UP to them, and as that was
what he was called to give evidence of.
he was consequently poor witness.
Just before adjournment the defense
was given permission to call ex-Attor-
ney General Henry M. Palmer, who
wanted to be saved the trouble of COM
ing uo again tomorrow. He stood up
alongside the witness box, where Judge
Harding sat tilted back in his chair,
and during the twenty minutes that
he was testifying there was an al
most continuous run of merriment, re-
sulting from rich exchanges of rep
artee.
PALMER WANTED TO KNOW.
Once when Major Warren interposed
an objection, General Palmer said:
You object to that?"
Eyes, I object" with emphasis.
"You do?" rejoined the witness in
tone ~ surprise.
EYES"
'Well, what's your objection?" At
this usurpation of judicial powers by
a witness everybody present, including
Judge Archibald, burst into a hearty
laugh. General Palmers apparent in
genuiousness made the incident all the
more comical.
When the laughter had subsided,
Judge Harding, in a half-undertone
and well feigned grumble, told General
Palmer: go home, they won't let you
tell anything" Again the group within
the enclosure enjoyed a hearty laugh.
Another incident provocative Of
laughter was Judge Harding's reach
ing over and taking from General
Palmer a paper which had been handed
to him for Identification. After In
specting it closely he handed it back
and allowed the witness to proceed, re-
marking as he finished his inspection.
"Yes, that's mine. but it was Henry

who charged that s1,25O fee" There
were any number OF such little Incl
dents during the day, ana as q conse-
duence the attorneys and court had all
in all a rather pleasant time, consld-
ering the natural dryness Of the case
itself.

OHIO FELL IN LINE.

ing the Good
Work Along.

Thousands of the Buckeye States
best citizens have been proclaiming
for over twelve months in all the
Ohio daily papers, what residents OF
the older states to the east of Ohio
had been proclaiming for years. Al
first it created considerable excite
ment and residents of each city and
town became anxious and curious to
know who would be the next as the
testimony from representative citi.
zens was daily published in the local
papers. Week after week went by
and the good people of Ohio settled
down to the fact that what theil
neighbors said must be true; that
local testimony and statements from
people they knew must be reliable.
It will be the same in Indiana about
the preparation endorsed by Judge
Clark. of London, Ohio.
What was appreciated by the pub.

union; what was carefully read BY
the residents of every city, town and
village from the Atlantic westward

nony for every place like Judge

pie is bound to force the result. The
