the sheriff We're not to fire unless he
gave the word. or unless his own life
was in danger, and he was so situated
as not to be able to issue an order-or,
unless the deputies themselves were in
danger of losing their own lives by an
assault upon them. The settlement of
these disputed points by the jury may
be important, as will appear when we
come to pass upon the legal points sub
mitted by the counsel for the defense
and for the jury upon the question
whether the posse comitatus, originally
a legally constituted body, did or did
not become an unlawful assemblage, by
reason of any subsequent determina-
tion to disregard the law and commit
crime.
I'm conclusion, gentlemen, you will
say by your verdict whether the de-
PENDANTS, or any of them, are guilty or
not guilty. If you find all, or any of
them, guilty Of murder, you will also
say whether of murder in the first de-
gree, or of murder in the second de-
gree, or of manslaughter. If you de-
termine to acquit them both of murder
and manslaughter, then you will rem
der a general verdict of not guilty.
The duty of the court has now been
performed and the case is i'm your
hands"

IS A POOR STARTING POINT
Evidence That the Congressional
Aspirant for Gubernatorial Honors
in PENNSYLVANIA Has the PrepOn-
derance OF Precedent to Contend
Henry Hall in Pittsburg Times.

Henry Hall in Pittsburg Times.
Three members of congress from
Pennsylvania, G. w. Stone, of Warren;
w. "A. Stone, of Allegheny, and William
Connell, of Lackawanna, are avowed or
mentioned candidates for governor,
and two others, w. S. Kirkpatrick, OF
Northampton, and NJ. L. Olmsted, of
Dauphin, are prominently mentioned as
dark horses. This would go to show
that in Pennsylvania, at least, congress
is just now regarded as a good vantage
point from which to enter the race for
the highest state office in the gift of
the people. And yet the records show
that only four of the governors chosen
by the people went to that office by the
congressional route. Thomas Miiilin,
the first governor under the constitu-
tior- was a member of the Continental
congress, but never served in the con-
gress of the United States. William
Findlay, the fourth governor, was in
congress from 1871 to 1899 and from 1903
to 1917, going from there to the COVER
norship, where he served from 1917 to
1920. Joseph Hester, the fifth in the
line, was in congress from 1897 to 1907,
and again from 1915 to 1920, when he
became governor, and held that posi-
tion until 1928. George Wolf, seventh
governor, was in congress from 1923 to
1929, and was elected governor in the
latter year, serving two terms, or six
years. The last occupant of the office
who had previously been in congress
was James Pollock, the 18th. in the list
He was in congress from 1913 to 1S49,
and was elected governor in 1854. Three
of our governors served in congress
after the expiration of their guberna-
torial terms. These were William Find
lay, who after having gone from the
house to the governorship, went direct
from the latter position TO the senate,
where he served from 1921 to 1921,
Twenty eight years later William Big
Ter left the governorship in January,
1855 and entered the senate on March
4, 1855, where he served until 1861, An

upon the gubernatorial race, but it is a
question whether the experience of past
aspirantS will dampen the ardor of the
gentlemen who are now in the field for
the nomination. 1t is only those who
have no superstitious regard for pre-
cedents who ever succeed in breaking
them While on the subject of COVER
nors and congressman, it may be said
that there is a very good representa-
tion of ex-governOrs in the present
congress. In the senate there are eX-
Governors Berry, of Arkansas; Perkins,
of California; Hawley, of Connecticut;
Shoup, of Idaho; Cullom, of Illinois;
Gear. of Iowa; McEnery, of louisiana;
Davis and Nelson, of Minnesota For
aker, of Ohio; Wetmore, of Rhode Is
land; Tillman, of South Carolina; Bate,
of Tennessee; Proctor, of Vermont,
and Warren, of Wyoming. Senator
White, of California, was lieutenant
governor of his state. The house is not
so well supplied, having but two-Ding-
ley and Burleigh, of Maine. 1t has,
however, two former lieutenant gov
ernors, Sayors, of Texas, and Stone.
OF Pennsylvania. So far as the
administration is concerned 1t is long
on ex-governors. First and foremost
there is eX-Gov. William Mckinley, of
Ohio, president. In his cabinet there
are three more-Alger of Michigan,
secretary of war; Long, OF Massachu-
setts, secretary of the navy and
Griggs, of New Jersey, attorney gem
eral. SO, taking it all around, the eX-
governors seem to have been pretty
well taken care of in late years.

ders me to stop, / do so at my peril.
OF course this obligation of obedience
to the authority of the peace officer of
the county, is not confined to laboring
men. It extends to and embraces all
the inhabitants of the county, rich and
poor high and low. A company COM
posed of the most wealthy and most
prominent men or a community, if
marching upon a public highway at "A
time or under circumstances which, in
the judgment and discretion of the
sheriff rendered such a demonstration
dangerous to the public peace, would
be bound to disperse if ordered so to
do. And compliance with the order
should be prompt and complete.
POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION.
If you are satisfied. gentlemen, from
the evidence, that the purpose of the
sheriff and of the posse, was to pre-
serve order and prevent riot, then it
would follow that their intent and OBJ
ject was not criminal or unlawful
one, and the rule Of the law which
makes the act Of one the act of all, has
no application to the facts of this case.
If, on the contrary. you are convinced
DY the GNlucIlCC tiietN lhC III was
not actuated by desire and intention
TO preserve the peace, but that he sum-
moned his posse with the idea of in
fiicting upon the body OF men known In
the case as strikers, wanton and un-
necessary outrage, and injury, without
reference to their action and conduct
If, in short, his purpose was base
a malicious and wicked one, then SO
far as he was concerned, and so far
as the deputies were concerned, If they
understood his motive and acted with
the same intent. the fact of criminal
and unlawful combination would be es-
tablished, and then all the defendants
might be convicted. although the shot
which took the life of the deceased was
fired by single one of the defendants,
The act of any one would, in that
event, be the act OF all. IL under all
the evidence In the case you are not
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt,

pose then the doctrine of the law
which, the commonwealth invokes, that,
which there are many defendants the
criminal act of one Of them is under
certain circumstances to be regarded
as the criminal act of ALL has, as we
have already said, no place in this
case.
AS TO THE SHOOTING.
1T is claimed by the commonwealth
that after the firing of the Volley some
one of the defendants left the line of
deputies and continued to shoot at the
strikers as they fled to the rear. Some
of the witnesses for the prosecution
swore that such was the case But
this is strenuOusly denied by all the
witnesses for the defense, who were on
the ground, and there is no undisputed
evidence Identifying any one Of the
defendants as the party implicated in
any such movement. We say to you
that if the purpose. of the posse and of
the sheriff, was originally a lawful
purpose, and one of the deputies in
obedience of the sherlff's order, in ref
erence to firing, did continue to fire
after all necessity for so doing had
identified as the slayer of the deceased
he ought to be convicted of one or the
other of the offences charged in this
Indictment, as the jury might decide.
After a careful examination of all
the testimony, l am prepared to say
that the most if not the only material
questions in respect to which the wit
nesses differin their statements as tothe
! occurrence at Lattimer, are first, as to
the number of men who surrounded the
sheriff after his effort to arrest one of
| the strikers. Second, as to the firing
was it continued after the ranks of the
strikers had broken and We're in re-
| treat, or did it cease when the Volley
was fired. 1t is alleged by the COM
monwealth that those Of the killed and
wounded who We're shot in the back
received their wounds while in the act
of running away, and from shots de-
| livered after the main volley had beer
| fired, IL is claimed by the defendants
| that the evidence shows that the firing
ended with the volley while the strik'
| ers, or some of them at least, were
still advancing toward the line Of depu'
ties. And that those of the striker.
who received wounds in the back were
among those who surrounded the
sheriff when he made the arrest, and
was pushed from the main road TO tn,

d to congress in 1880 and served three


terms.
Several men have run for the guber-
material office while in Congress and
met defeat. Frederick A. Muhlenberg,
speaker of the First and Third con-
crosses, was candidate in both 1893
and 1896, and was twice defeated by
Thomas Mifliin. James Ross was in the
senate from 1894 to 1903, and was an
Unsuccessful candidate for governor in
1899, 1902 and 1908. Andrew Gregg was
in the house from 1891 to 1907 and the
senate from 1907 to 1918. He was de-
feated for governor by Simon Snyder
in 1928 John Sergeant was in congress
from 1915 to 1923 and was defeated for
governor in 1926, but he seems to have
been elected to congress the same year.
as the records state that he was a
member of the Twentieth congress,
which was chosen in 1926. Joseph Heis-
ter was in the house when he was de-,
feated by William Findlay in 1917, but
succeeded three years later. Henry A.
Muhlenherg was in the house in 1885,
when Governor George Wolf, running
as an independent Democrat, defeated
him by dividing the party and elected
Joseph Ritner, anti-Mason. John Banks
had been two terms in congress when
he was defeated by David r. Porter
in 1S4l. James irwin had the same rec
ord when Francis r. Skunk beat him in
1S47. David Wilmot, of "Wilmot
Proviso" fame, left the house in 1851,
after serving six years and was de-
feated in 1857 by William f. Packer,
last in the line of Democratic governors
until Pattison defeated Beaver in 1882.
Wilmot succeeded Simon Cameron in
the senate when the latter resigned to
| go into Lncoln's cabinet in 1861, and
served two years. Henry D. Foster had
been in congress two terms when And
rev G.. Curtin beat him in 1860, and
| Charles r.. Buckalew had served six
years i'm the senate when John F. Hart
ranft defeated him in 1872, after a cam
paign which was the preliminary and
| decisive test of the popularity of Hor-
ace Greeley as a Democratic candidate
| for the Presidency. Two other unsuc-
cessful candidates for the governorship
George w. Woodward, in 1868, and
Hester Clymer, in 1866, also served in
congress, but not until after they had
been defeated for the other office.
According to this, congress is not a
