The Catholic Church, Father Quinn
said, IS also the protector of the af-
flicted and of women. He drew a
graphic picture of the treatment wo-
man had received and still receives in
pagan lands, and said the fame of a
woman, in those days, would be a
shame to a Christian woman now.
Father Quinn's lecture received the
closest attention throughout, and was
punctuated with generous applause.
At the conclusion of the lecture
Adolph Plucker rendered Hartman 5

cornet solo, and did exceedingly well.

Bodily Injury.

WILKESBARRE Pa.), Feb. %
Owing to the mass of business In court
Judge Woodford decided there should
be no holiday to-day But" he said.
Il deem it appropriate that we observe
the day by hearing Washington's fare
well address, and have requested Mr..
Scarlet to read it,
There was burst of applause at this
announcement, and the reading was
given careful attention.
The first witness of the day was Mrs.
James Edmundson, who lives at Har-
wood. She said that on the day of the
shooting she heard a neighbor shout,
Skin out, the strikers are coming!"
Il saw the men, they all had clubs,
she continued. They found my hus
band and tried to get him away. l
grabbed him, and after a lot of words
they let him go. A neighbor gave m :
a big stone, and i said / should throw
it if they tried to get my man again.
They did try, and / threw some stones.
They threatened to knock my brains
out. Some tried to get into my house
to take my sick son, but l told them
if they came in they'd be dead when
they came out. They went away then. :
James Edmundson, husband of the
previous witness, said he heard his
neighbor, Mrs. O'Donnell, shout to him
that the strikers were coming, and that
he had better get out
Continuing, the witness said: Il Went
with my two boarders, but hardly had
we got out before the strikers caught
US. They dragged me along couple of
hundred yards, until my wife rescued
me. All the strikers We're armed"
Peter Wolfe, a driver at the Harwood
colliery, said: "On Friday the strikers
gathered to march to Latimer. l went
down to the company store, and we
locked ourselves in. Afterward when
we thought the strikers had gone we
went out. One man chased me with
big club for long distance, and / fin
ally escaped by jumping through the
window of my house"
Charles Mullen and two friends were
pursued by the strikers, who shouted
I'VE will shoot you." and, finally, they
fired two shots at them as they got
into the bush.
John Ripple told how he was threat
ened by armed strikers, but they did
him no harm.
