When the representative of this Senatorial
district undertook to set up game upon his
fellow-citizens, in order to steal offices for his
henchmen, no considerations of what was
due to his position, to the people or his
party, or to common fairness was permitted
to stand in the way. The trick by which the
people were to be deprived Of deliberate
choice Of two borough officers, filing the
most important function in loca, government,
was of the most despicable character it was
carried out by underhand methods belonging
to the very lowest level of politics Like
most tricksters, however he failed to cal
culate properly with the law, and with the
force Of public sentiment when aroused by
such practices. The final disposition of the
Borough Justice cases. by the decision of the
Attorney General is n matter of great graft
tication 10 the people of this place, because
1t is Il triumph for good government aud
viudication of law 1t was foreign, also to
the sense Of right that two offices, the pur-
pose of which is the administration of JUS
rice, should be held in defiance of law, by
persons who had never been legally chosen
to fill them Credit is due to the Justices to
whom the commissions will issue for the
determined aud successful battle made to
secure their rights in the premises.

Grating Three Hours.

The end of the trial of Poor Director Neri
Dietrich, charged with accepting bribcs from
employees at the almshousc, was reached at

we earnestly recommend mercy from the
COURT
Dietrirli's counsel made a motion for a new

The jury was out three hours and five
ballots We're taken. The fist was 9 for con.
viction, three for acquittal; second, 10 to 2;
third 10 10 ?; fourth II to I; and the fifth
unanimous for the conviction The statutes do
not fix any term Of years sentence for the
offence Of which Director Dietrich has been
found guilty. This rests in the discretionary
power Of the court, together with sentences
in similar case as guide.
The conviction does not include the second
count i'm the indictment as to the alleged pay
meut by George Heiiner, the butcher, of $50
A nolle prossequi was entered on that count
in court yesterday.
While ON the stand yesterday Dietrich
testified that about two weeks after Dr.
GHys appointment the latters brother, Dr.
James Gray, stopped him ON the road, while
on his way home, expressed his thanks, and
invited him to visit him, since he desired to
see him. He accepted the invitation some
time aftor and was invited into the parlor by
Dr. Gray. The doctor declared he had per-
formed a great service for his brother and
since he had been under heavy expense he
would help him out. DR.. Gray then gave
him $500, and told him to call again At
oppf bpp tfr,n l,o vssac tyfvop GooO yYpta U7ho
witness said he told the doctor that he did not
/ like to take the money. DR.. Gray suggested
chat receipt be made out in the name of
his son, Frank. lie never made demand
upon the doctor for money One night at
the almshouse DIR. John Gray handed him a
roll Of bills. He placed it in his pocket with
out counting it. Nothing was said about a
note. He did not know whether or not he
had the $500 not given him by DR.. james
Gray. The money due on the note, S10O was
paid by DR.. John Gray and he doubted if the
latter knew anything about the note.
Seycnty-fve dollars and $25 was handed him
by Dr. Gray at the almshouse without con
versation, The note was made payable one
/ day after date. Asked why he gave a
receipt for the money if it was a gift, he said
| he supposed that DR.. Gray wanted the receipt
| to give to his brother John.
'If you wanted DIR. Gray, and your minis
ter and all your neighbors wanted him, why
did you take any money from him2' asked
District Attorney Bechtel.
IF a man wanted to give me a thousand
dollars as present I'd take it any day,
answered Mr. Dietrich.
And give receipt too?" asked Mr..
/ Bechtel
Yes" answered Mr. Dietrich
