a most disgusting case was tried be-
fore Judge II. NJ. Edwards in court

the court room was crowded goes With
out saying; it always is when a case
of salacious character is being heard.
Jacob Erin. a man forty years of age.

on trial for criminally assaultinG Jen-
ME the 12-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Sinner. The SINNERS
and the Erins were neighbors and re-
sided near the Driving Park.
The girl is rather large for her age,
and has a sweet, innocent face. As
she related her terrible story yesterday
she was unconscious of the horror her
words inspired in the breasts of those
who heard her. Apparently her knowl-
edge of the world is limited, even for
a girl of her tender years. Her mother
testified that Jennie was u years oC
age on Jan. 4. The offenses with which
Erin is charged were committed last
summer.
In the same community in which the
Erins and Sinners reside a man named
Grant Shafer lived last summer. He
is a single man and was friendly with
Erin. Early in the fall Shafer was
found near the Driving Park in COM

ERIN IMPLICATED.


1t appeared that Shafer had attempt
ed to assault Minnie Johnson and had
assaulted Jennie Sinner several times.
The girls at the hearing told that Jacob
Erin had acted towards them in the
same manner as Shafer. The latter has
been indicted for the offenses against
both girls and the cases are on the list
for this week. Erin was indicted for
his assaults on the Sinner girl and
warrant was also sworn out for him
at the instance of the JOhnsons, but
has not yet been served 1s Erin has
been in Jail since his arrest at the in
stance of Jennie Sinners mother.
When Erin was called for trial yes
terday afternoon he took a seat at the
defendants table with his attorneys,
Vosburg & Dawson. His victim sat at
the commemorative table with her
mother and District Attorney Jones,
who conducted the prosecution. Erin
is butcher by occupation and decent
enough in appearance. His wife and
one of his daughters. who is about L.
years of age, sat directly behind him
during the trial. Mrs. Erin seemed to
feel the disgrace much more keenly
than her husband, and nervously bit
at her finger nails all afte"'oon. Her
face was a picture of ama4oment as
the damaging testimony against her
husband was unfolded.
Jennie Sinner was the first witness
examined by the commonwealth and
she told of five different assaults Erin
committed upon her person. on two
occasions he gave her five-cent pieces
and he told her she would incur his
displeasure and wrath if she told any
person about what he had done.
THE OTHER WITNESSES.
Other witnesses examined were Mrs.
Sadie Sinner, mother of the child :
Mrs. Frederick Johnson, Charles Shi-
mer and Alderman Fidler. They tes-
titled concerning admissions the ac-
cused made about the time he was ar
rested, He paid a visit to the homes
Of the Johnsons and SINNERS and asked
them to forgive him. He had done
wrong, he said, but if they would prom
Use not to prosecute him he would be
the best of men from that time on.

cause of the absence of DR. Jenkins, of
North Scranton, who examined the girl
