O'NETLL TO
PAY C0STSI
"NOt Guilty, But Pay the Costs" Was
the Verdict.
THE FAMOUS LIBEL CASE ENDED
A Sealed Verdict was Handed to Judge
savidge This Morning The Jury Con-
tinued It's Deliberations Until
After Six O'Clock This
Morning.


/ Speclnl TO EVENING HERALD.
PoTTsvLLE. Sept. 24.-The Jury in the
case of P. j. Ferguson, School Director of
West Mahanoy township, against j. Jerome
| O'Neill, Of Lost Creek, for libel, this morn
ing handed in sealed verdict of Not
guilty, but pay the costs.
The jury was out from 9:45 o'clock yester-
day morning until 6:30 O'Clock this morning.
Judge Savidge remained here until late yes.
terday afternoon and when he found the
jury had not reached a verdict he left direc-
tions that the verdict be handed in sealed
and went home. He returned here at ten
O'Clock this morning and received the YER
dict.
From present indications it appears that
both the Commonwealth and defense are
! satisfied with the verdict Mr.. O'Nein and
his friends claim to have learned that when
the jury started in upon its deliberations it
stood seven for acquittal and costs upon the
prosecution, and that the long deliberation
hinged upon the placing of the costs, culmin-
ating in compromise verdict
The prosecution, on the other hand claim
that the verdict practically means mot
guilty, but don't do it again." and is there
fore yindicatiOn.
To the disinterested parties the verdict
does not appear satisfactory, in view of the
charges that were made by the defense dur
ing the progress of the case. 1t seems to be
the general opinion that, owing to the grave
character of the case, ONeill should either
have been found guilty and saddled with the
oArI.
One thing is certain, and that is interest in
the misdemeanor cases against certain mem
bers of the West Mahanoy township
School Directors will be increased by
the verdict, Had the verdict been
unqualifedly against O'Neill there is
little doubt that the misdemeanor case would
never come up for trial. As the matter
stands now a trial appears to be certainty.
The misdemeanor case, which is brought by
Thomas Dee against certain directors of the
Mahanoy Township School Board, and the
perjury case against Dee, brought by the
directors he has prosecuted, have been post
pOned to the November term of criminal
court. II Is understood that the misde-
meanOr case will be tried first, although it is
fASD'''AS tiAeNV ah HEAOCAhSub VIII NC I6dCn6u
by which the result of both cases will be
allowed TO rest upon one trial.
At late hour this afternoon it was stated
that Mr.. O'NeilPs counsel will have sur
prise to spring in court tomorrow morning
in connection with the verdict The nature
of the surprise could not be definitely
learned, but it is expected that sensation
will be created
