The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-14

Another chapter of the Rosenbluth-
Schwartz fcud at Old Forge was de-
veloped yesterday in a habeas corpus
| hearing before Judge Archibald.
Some days ago one OF the Schwartz
faction swOre out q warrant before
Squire James Foley. of Rendham,
charging Mrs. George Dulange with
| disOrderly conduct. Constable Tim
| Jones and Special officer George Davis
went to Dulangc's home Wednesday
last to arrest Mrs. Dulange, but not
| finding her in, took her husband along,
| hustled him to the 'squire's office,
swore out n warrant charging him
| with disorderly conduct, served it up
on him and had him forthwith ar
| raigned for a hearing. They alleged
| that he carried on in a threatening
| and disorderly manner when they en-
| tered his premises to arrest Mrs. Du-
| lange. He said it was not so, but his
| denial was unavailing.
The squire fined him So and costs,
| $12.5l in all, and upon his failure to
| pay. made ou. a commitment and di-
| rected the officers to take him to the
| county Jail.
| On the way up the priIner asked a
| reprieve, saying he could and would
pay the money if given a little time.
| The officers placed him in the West
| Side station house, intending to call
for him the next day and take him on
to the county Jail, if the meantime he
| failed to square himself with the out
| ragged peace and dignity of the Old
| Forge end of the commonwealth.
BY some msChance not yet explained
| the officers did not call for their man
the next day and the prisoner, being
unable to make himself understood in
! English, was as good as lost to the
world.
| Some of his friends wanted to go
his bail and sought him Thursday aft
| ernoon and long into Thursday night.
But they sought in vain.
| The jail authorities vowed there was
| no such man there and every time the
| anxious friends would inquire the an
swer would have to be given that he
| had not arrived yet.
| Police headquarters was asked to
| look him up, but no such man could be
| found on the station house records A
| telephone message was sent to the Luz
| Zerne county Jail, but the missing Du-
| lange was not there
| Finally Attorney p F. Loughran
was called into the case and, hunting
up one of the fOrgetful officers, learned
| that the lost Dulange had been i'm
INJURED in the West Side station house
for thirty-siX hours, but at the time,
yesterday morning, was in the county
Jail.
| At once the attorney instituted ha-
| beas corpus proceedings. The follow
| ing aitdaNit was prepared and sub
mitted to Judge Archbald:
| live in the borough of Old Forge. this coun.
| ty. ON Wednesday, July II, 1900, / was in the
| yard Of my premises milking my cow when two
| men came to me, saying they had warrant for

| dcrly conduct. | told them | could not toll
| where she was. ] was then taken to the Of
flee Of the Justice Of the peace in the village of
| Rcndham without a warrant or any other writ
| beng served on me. While there in the hands
| OF these two men, one Timothy Jones sworc
! TO an information charging me with ds1rlcrlv
| conduct. ! was then given hearing. and
| while the evidence produced did not show me
| guilty of any oIcnSe whatever, in default Of
| fine | vas committed 10 the county jail. Said
| commitment directed 10 an officer Davis
| Instead Of being conducted to the CountS A il

| release thcIcircm demanded. | have evidence to
prove that the whole affair was a conspiracy on
| the part of certain parties to eXtort money

The judge, after a brief hearing, yes
terday afternoon allowed an appeal
from summary conviction, and dis
charged Oulangc on 500 bail, fur
nishcd by Max Rosenblcth.
Attorney LOLghran is taking steps to
bring an action ,gainst the officers for
their unwarranted conduct in confn-
ing Dulange in the suburban station
| house.
