County Seat.
Pottsvile, May 1O.-One Of the reasons
why court was adjourned so early in the
week was that John f. Wbalen, chief coun-
sci in a great many cases, was unable to ap-
pear owing 10 the death Of his brother-in-law.
Another source of delay was the non.appear-
ance Of prosecutors, defendants and wit
nesses and the failure Of officers 10 locate
them Probably the late Grand Jury has
scared most Of the prosecutors out Of the
law business. Many of these cases will be
mol pressed or dismissed at the cost Of those
responsible for the delay.
