One Of the most novel ami sensational
reasons that has yet been advanced In
the local courts as the basis of a petit
ton for n new trial, is that which Jes-
sup & Jessup make their grounds in
applying for a retrial of the damage
case of Patrick Malta ct al. against the
Scranton Traction company in which
a verdict for $3.50 was rendered in
favor of the plaintiffs at the recent
special term of common pleas court.
Ii is no less than an allegation that
a Juror drawn on the case allowed
another man to substitute for him in
the trial. Daniel f. Finnegan. of Pros
pect avenue is the juror who. it is
claimed tried the case by proxy, and
Patrick Mack, a resident of the same
neighborhood, is alleged to be the SUBJ
stitute.
According to depositions filed with
the application. the deception was dis
covered the day following the render
ing of the verdict and was disclosed by
Thomas Melvin, an office boy in the
employ of j essup & Jessup.
He was present during the drawing
of the jury aud when he heard his en-
ployers discu ssing the verdict he vol
unteered the information of the irregu-
larity which is now alleged.
He says that when the name of DAN
iel f. Finnegan was called another
man, Patrick Mack, stepped up and
took place in the box.
THE BOY WAS SURPRISED.
He knows both. men we'll and was
greatly surprised no see Mack represent
himself to be Fin negan, but, possibly
believing that he was not supposed to
see such things he did not mention it
until the verdict, perhaps suggested to
him that he should speak of it.
At all events, he started an investi-
cation by the agent of the Casualty
company, which was the real defend
ant in the suit, and this investigation
satisfied the attorneys that their office
boy was not mistaken.
Finnegan was visited and questioned
closely. He claimed tn at he had serv-
ed on the Malta case, but when pressed
to tell what position he occupied in
the jury box he gave evasive answers.
1t is also alleged that when asked
about Patrick Mack being juror, Fin
negan made the claim I hat Mack also
served on the jury whic h however the
records deny. A visit to the county
commissioners office showed that Fin
negan's fees had been reCeipted for by
Daniel II. Finnegan," while Juror Fin
negan has IF" for n middle letter ac-
cording to his own admis sion.
ATTORNEY POSTS AFFIDAVIT.
In the depositions, there is also an
affidavit of Attorney Charles j. Post.
who claims to have closely watched
the progress Of the case, that no one
resembling Finnegan served as a juror
on the case while Mack, who has been
since pointed out to him as Mack, was
juror.
Some interesting arguments are eX-
pected when the matter comes up for
a final hearing O'Brien & Kelly were
attorneys for the plaintiffs.

zerne County.


In the prothonotary's office today
there registered as a law student, Ju-
liam Czurka, an eminent legal practi-
tioner, of Austria, who is honored with
the degree of LID. Mr.. Czurka now
resides on Carey avenue, this city. and
is undoubtedly the first Doctor of Laws
to register in this country as law
student. He passed the preliminary ex-
animation and will study in the office
of Attorney p. A. O'Boyle.
Mr.. C2urka was seen this afternoon
by Times reporter and said he re-
ceived his degree of Doctor of Laws
in the University of Lemberg, Austria.
He practiced law in that country and
was also a judge of the Superior court
there for time. He came to this
country several years ago and hopes to
do well among his countrymen here.
He expects to be admitted to the Lu-
zerne county bar in November.
Mr.. Czurka is a gentleman of middle
age, of pleasing address and gentle
manly department. There are only a
few attorneys in this city who have the
degree of LID after their names, but
law student who is also a Doctor of
Laws is novety.--Wilkes-B Barre

Political Fight in West Virginia.

After the certificate of election was
awarded to Mr.. J. d. Logan, Democrat,
from Monroe, the Judge of that Circuit
recounted the ballots, and entered an
order multiplying Logan's certificate and
granting one to the Republican, Via.
Logan asked for and obtained an ap-
peal and s1perseadeas from the supreme
cont, and this cannot be heard and
settled before the legislature meetr, the
a ALTON OF The supreme court Saturday
in granting writ of error and super
seadeas in the case of Via against the
county commissioners of Monroe cOun-
ty, at least allows Logan, the Democrat,
to hold the certificate till the case can
be heard, which may be any time with
in the next year. In the meantime Mr..
Logan, having received his certificate
of election. will take his seat in the
House Of Delegates and serve out his
term. The attorneys for Via might
have proceeded by mandamus and had
d speedy hearing of the case, but it
seems they did not want speedy hear
ing of it, and so choose another mode
of procedure, that of certiorari. This
looks like a blunder.

Republican Set Back in west virginia.

Charleston. w. Va, Dec. S.-Geo. w.
McClintic and Gen. Edgar P. Rucker,
counsel for G. M. Via, Republican can
didate for the House Of Delegates from
Monroe county, moved before the court
of appeals Yesterday that the Gaze of
Via against the county commissioners
of Monroe and Joseph d. Logan, Dem
ocratic candidate, be taken out of It's
regular order and heard Immediately.
The case was taken to the supreme court
on a petition by Logan 3 attorney for a
writ of error from the rulings of Judge
Now horter, who decided that 73 votes
the county court refused to count were
lawful and ought to be counted. OF
these Al We're for Via and 80 for Logan.
Under the decision Via was entitled TO
have his name entered upon the rolls by
the secretary of State as a member Of
the legislature. The supreme court on
Saturday last. granted the writ of error
prayed tor by Logan's attorneys.
Ordinarily writ of error, taking its
regular course. will not be reached for
argument within six months, but the
exigencies of the case require speedy
hearing. A motion was made that it
be taken up at once. This the court de-
clined to do by divided court, Judges
Dent and English holding that a writ OF
error could not be taken up out Of its
order except by consent of all the par
ties concerned, Judges McWhorter and
Brannon taking the opposite view. Ac-
cording to this ruling the case will not
be settled by the court until after the
adjournment of the Legislature.
