Twelve men retired at $50 yesterday
afternoon to decide the fate of Jacob
Erin, of North Scranton. At adjourn
ing hour there was no sign of an early
agreement.
Erin is charged with having assaulted
Jennie Sinner, the 12-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Sinner,
who were neighbors of the Erins. The
case was called Tuesday afternoon and
practically all of the testimony for the
commonwealth was heard that day.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing DIR. d. II. Jenkins and DR.. G. o.
Caldwell were called by the common
wealth. They examined the girl after
the assaults and testified to her condi-
ton. What they said went to corrob-
crate her story
The commonwealth rested with that
and Attorney A. A. Nosburg opened
Tor the defense. He stated that his
client is guiltless of the charges
brought against him. They were pre-
ferred because he would not give Mrs.
Frederick johnson $50 and ten pounds
of meat a month.
Erin went on the stand and denied
absolutely having committed the Of
lenses charged against him. He said
he put up swing near his house for
the children of the neighborhood and
frequently played and romped with
them there. His conduct was always
of the most innocent nature. He then
denied specifically each of the offenses
Jennie Sinner charged him with in her
testimony.
DR.. Herman Bessey testified that the
child's nervous system would not be
in the condition it is now if she had
suffered as she said she did and after
wards William Lintner, p. j. Jordan,
John Michael, John Schroeder Louis
Webb and George Burkel testified to
Erin's previous good character.
Barbara Erin, daughter of the ac-
cused testified that she was with her
father and Jennie Sinner on one of the
occasions when Jennie swore she was
assaulted. They We're not out Of her
sight at any time and nothing Of the
kind described occurred.
The closing addresses to the jury
were made by District Attorney Jones
and Attorney Vosburg. Judge Ed
wards charge to the jury was a model
Of what a clear, comprehensive, un-
biased charge should be. He closed by
reminding the jury of the Importance
of the case he was about to place in
their hands. Deal with it," he said,
"as your consciences shall dictate af-
ter an intelligent consideration of all
the evidence"
He affirmed the law point offered by
the defense which set forth that if the
jury decided on the guilt of the defend
ant they could convict him only of the
lowest count in the indictment which
is punishable by a fine, if they decided
that the girl was not of good reputa-
tion. The judge told the jurors that
in considering the question of good
reputation they must keep her age in
mind and whether or not she was old
enough to have formed a reputation Of
any kind.

LOOKS FOR A BOOM.
Secretary Atherton, of the Board of
Trade, Very Enthusiastic About
the Prospects for the Elec-
trio City for This Year.

Il look for a big industrial boom for
Scranton, this year." said Secretary
Atherton of the Board of Trade yester-
day, in discussing the work that the
board and particularly its energetic
manufacturing committee is doing. II
never saw so many good things coming
this way. 1t used to be that we had
to go out for them, and offer them all
kinds Of inducements to bring them
here. Now they come to us unlimited
and with very reasonable demands in
the way of inducements. The generous
and very judicious advertising this city
has received through the affairs of it's
board of trade is having it's effect"
This morning at 10 o'clock, Mr.. Ath-
erton states. representatives of the
board of trade viii meet with repre-
sentatives of big manufacturing con-
Germ which has under consideration the
advisability of moving it's plant from
Trenton to this city. It is something
new to Scranton in the way of a manu-
factory and If secured will he one Of
the biggest industries of the city.
Five other big manufacturing con-
Germs have made propositions to locate
here and. it is thought three OF them
at least will be secured.

DocKsTADER's sENs1BIL1TY.
How a Quaker Audience Out West
Hoodooed Funny Feature.

\ few years ago when Lew Dock
stader was at the head OF his own
minstrel orgG Gnization, he opened the
season at Dayton, O., where the com"
pany rehearsed. The show really open
ed at the little town Of Richmond, Ind,
made up principally of Quakers, sixty
miles distant. They went there to TRY
it on the dos" as the saving is.
Dockstader is nothing IL not original.
He had studied out u speciality which
he called Beau Brummel."
He believed IL would make a hit, as
1t gave the comedian the advantage
of being exceedingly funny. AS a gen
eral thing Dockstader never makes q
mistake in his ideas of what fun really
is in the minstrel line. The costume
he designed for this monologue was a
novelty in its way and not of the beat
en- line. II was quite a costly affair
too. He had gone to great expense in
getting out special posters for this fea-
ture and he rather prided himself on
the fact that it would be a glorious
success. He is man of strong i'm
pulses, however, and is easily cast
down when things don't go just right.
The premier presentation of the show
at Richmond proved this beyond all
reasonable dispute. Lew was, of
course, the bright, particular star but
he had no conception Of the solemn
character Of the audience gathered on
the evening in question. As stated.
they were Of Quaker descent and not
given to any manifestations of approv-
al or disgust at stage entertainments.
There We're a good many things to
. IL.
casion and on that account he was not
in the best of humor. He didn't pay
particular attention to the apparent
silence of the people in front of the
footlights. In fact he didn't notice it
at all until he made his own appear
ance in his new character of Beau
Brummel"
When he thought he ought TO get o
hand or two there was profound peace.
He did his hest to wake up his auditors
but all to no purpose. They preserved
their stolid equanimity to the last He
left the stage without n murmur of
applause following him. This was
something new for him and he couldn't
understand it. He was the worst hu-
mOred man in the show that night. A
few friends who knew a good thins
when they saw 1t, and had come down
from Dayton to see the opening enter
tainment, among them three or four
newspaper critics, couldn't understand
why in the next night at Dayton, after
the show, and especially Dockstader's
new feature, had been given fine send
off. Beau Brummel' was not among
the things given.
The truth Of the matter was that
Dockstader conceived the idea that it
was frost and he could never be in
duced to repeat it. He buried his cos
tune and whenever any allusion was
made to the character he would reply
with a groan the memory of that first
night put a hoodOo in it." 1t is un-
necessary TO say that he has never
returned to The sombre town of Rich
mond, Ind, since.

Malicious Burglars.

from Colonel Courscu the committee
proposes to remain inactive.
AS an inducement TO the soldiers 70

that a special through train he secured

gives the soldiers a mileage allowance

BY securing special rates on a special
