The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-03-25

was AtIOweu TO lTue
and Ignored Bills Returned.
+. II. c. Maloney, after spending a
night in the county Jail, was brought
down to the court house at Q o'clock
yesterday morning by deputy sheriff.
He was taken before the grand jury
and after that body got through with
him he was allowed to go. No further
penalty was imposed upon him for his
conduct of Wednesday.
All but two of his bills charging ille-
gal sale of liquor were ignored by the
jury in its report to court yesterday,
verifying the prediction made in yes
terday's Tribune. The ignored bills
number about forty and in all but four
of them Maloney was directed to pay
the costs. In the remainder the county
will pay the costs. The prosecutor sub
poenaed many of the most represen-
tative citizens of North Scranton TO
testify in the cases and not a few of
them swore that they had never even
been in the houses where 1t was al
legged liquor was being illegally sold
and in which they were expected to
testify that they had partaken OF Ill
toxicatng drinks.
The only cases in which Maloney sue
ceeded in getting true bills were those
against Andrew Kominski and John
Jezierski, of North Scranton. The
total amount of the costs placed upon
him yesterday is over $500.
Following are the persons charged by
Maloney with the illegal sale of liquor,

by the grand jury:
