YERNOW'S ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
He Has Become Sadly Tangled in
the Meshes OF tho Law.

Conrad Vernow, of Archibald, is lam
gushing in the county Jail, but he
threatens to make somebody jump
when he gets out, and that will be to-
day. Squire Gildea was down yester
day to get him out on bail, but had to
wait on account Of circumstances.
Three or four weeks ago Vernow
went before Squire Antony Duffy, Of
the same borough, and swore out a
warrant for a woman for stealing his
wash boiler. The defendant was dis
charged, and the costs were put on the
prosecutor. The amount was 81 and
some cents. He paid it.
A few days later some one told him
that an alderman or justice of the
peace cannot put costs on either party
in a criminal suit when the evidence is
not sufficient to require bail for ap-
pearance at court. The county pays
such costs.
Vernow then went before Squire Nc
Cafferty, of Mayfield, and had war
rant issued against Duffy for eXtOr-
tion. Duffy retaliated by swearing out
a warrant against Nernow for false
representations in the eXtOrtiOn case
before McCaffertya Squire Dougher,
of Archibald, before whom NernOw was
brought, sent him to jail, where he
now Is.
Vernow is a Woodworking old Ger
man, and is possessed of quite a little
property, He has many things to learn
about the intricacies of the law as it
is interpreted in the northern section
Of the county. Squire Gildea investi-
gated the case and finds that the
transcript in the eXtOrtiOn case is sent
in and that NernOW VIII be unable to
appear before the grand jury and the
bill will be ignored unless he gets him
out of Jail today. That he intends to
do
Squire Gildea thinks that Vernow
was buncoed in another case. y war
rant was sworn out against him for an
alleged debt of 81 for meat, and he was
taxed with a big bill of costs, which
he paid rather than so to Jail, although
civil proceedings instead Of criminal
should have been brought.

Welcker, proprietor Of the Fashion, was

whether to swear out warrants or
not for the arrest Of Wade NJ, Finn,
Willard T.. Perry and Suthard $. Vert
on the charge of perjury was the ques-
tion discussed at a consultation yes
tcrday afternoon among Attorneys e.
G. Newcomb. |. II. Burns and Senator
NJ. T.. Mcdonald at the latter's office.
They decided to meet again this morn
ing and agree then upon what action
to take.
The criminal action against these
three would be based upon their afii-
davit to the bill Of particulars in the
Langstaf f. Kelley contest Senator Nc
Donald stated to a Tribune reporter
that there are over thirty districts
where more illegal votes are alleged
than Mr.. Kelley received. In one dis
trict of the Twenty-first ward the bill
alleges 144 illegal votes and Mr., Kelley
received all told only 81.
Other districts Mr.. Kelley received
fewer votes in than the number OF
illegal ones cast for him alleged in the
bill are the four districts of the Nine
teenth ward, the four districts of the
Twentieth ward, two Nistricts in Car
hOndale, one in Dickson borough one
in the Second ward, and one in the
Sixteenth ward.
This is no hearsay, he said, but can
he seen in the court records contain
ing the returns of the election. Further
more. the total number Of alleged lille
gal votes is about 10500, only a few
thousand below half the entire number
pOlled.
If they do not begin criminal pro-
ceedings, he said. it will be because
the court will quash the bill; and they
propose to argue today to have it
quashed. When the hearing came up
Monday they only pressed one reason
To quash and that was predicted upon
the new rule handed down by the cour;
before the case was called, requiring
bills Of particulars in future contests
to be sworn to by at least three of the
signcrS of the petition.
They propose today, he said, to move
to invalidate the affidavit on the
ground that the bin possesses rcpug-
nant features that no man can swear
to. The court will be asked to declare
the bill unworthy of an affidavit.
