LUTz GETS A
new TRIAL
Accused Wife Muri. .erer Has
Another Chance.
Judge HaIsey Comedies the
Claim of the Prisoners
Counsel That Former Ver-
dict Was Illegal.

The first-degree verdict of the notori-
Gus "blue ribbon" jury was pronounced
ineffective by Judge Halsey in court on
Saturday morning, and the alleged mur-
derer, Lutz, will get new trial. This
was not expected, as Halsey was the
looked forward to taking the case to the
higher court.
This is the case in which Juror f. A
b. Rooms held out for sixteen days for a
second degree verdict, while the other
jurors, having cast q first ballot for first
degree, subjected him to numerous in
dignities, one of which was the wearing
of blue ribbons, to show the people who
were watching them each day that
Rooms, who wore none, was the man
who was holding out.
He is an old man, and sixteen days of
the close confinement broke him down,
and he signed the verdict. Even when
called up in the jury box to give his
verdict he protested.
81 signed the verdict against my con-
sent, believing that the man was ire
sponsble when he,' he began.
The court interrupted him with "What
is your verdict?"
81 signed it," he started.
"What did you find?"
"Guity of murder in the first degree" !"
he stammered.
Itwas on the ground of this opposition
to the verdict and the coercion of Rooms
by other jurors that the application for
a new trial was made.
Judge Halsey, in the course of his
opinion, says: because of the dou BIT in
our minds as to whether that which
was done at the time the verdict was re-
turned, was the verdict of the con-
science of the whole jury, based upon
the circumstances incident to the long
confinement of the jury; and because of
that.which may have been in the mind
of Mr.. Koons at the time he desired to
make statement that it was not the
fciuiSp vi COUSCleuCe, OuU one rem
dered necessary because of physical ex-
haustion on his part, and as all reason
able doubts under circumstances sur
rounding criminal cases are, under the
law, to be given to defendants, we have
concluded to allow the motion for rule
for a new trial in this case, and at the
same time to make it absolute"
The deed was committed on the night
of November 2s last, an axe in the
hands OF Lutz inhctng the wound on
the head that caused his wife's death.
Lutz afterward attempted suicide by
cutting his throat with a jack-knife.
The principal witnesses were the chill
dren of the unfortunates Jealousy, it
was said, prompted the deed. The Jury
held the case in their hands for sixteen
days, the longest period of deliberaton
on case on record in the state. Juror
Rooms, of Huntingdon Mills, favored
second-degree murder verdict, on the
ground that the man was insane. The
other jurors favored verdict of guilty
in the first degree

Trolley Accident,

Roger McShea, of Lattimer, received
an injury to his knee yesterday while on
his way home from the ball game here.
He was standing on the rear platform of
car No. 3s, which was followed by a
trailer. AT Ebervale the car stopped,
but the trailer rushed forward and
crashed into 3s, breaking the glass in
the cars and throwing passengers from
thoir seats. McShca was dashed
against the seat ahead of him. He was
the only person injured.

Injured Bow Dies.

August Maths, the sixteen-year-old
boy who was injured by rock falling
upon his head and fracturing his skull
at No. ? breaker, Highland, on Tuesday,
died Friday night at the Miners hospl-
tai. When admitted to the institution
it was believed by the physicians that
ever, there were signs of improvement
and hopes of his recovery were enter
tanned. A change took place Friday
afternoon and death followed.

Ringing of Bells.

The prolonged ringing of church bells
at all hours of the day is complained of
by the people of town. No one finds
fault with short ringing of any bell,
but of late the practice of keeping, the
bells going from ten to fifteen minutes
at stretch has become the common
rule and gives much annoyance to per-
sons who are sick.
A little thought for the peace of mind
of others exercised by those in charge
of few of the church bells would cor
rect a practice which is rapidly reach
ing point which will resolve into a
nuisance

Fire on Saturday.

The double dwelling on North Centre
street, occupied by the families of Mrs.
Jennie Wilson and Mrs. Jacobs, was
discovered on fire at IL o'clock Saturday
morning. An alarm was sent by Officer
Cnlp from box so, at Centre and North
streets. Two of the Citizens Hose Com
pany's carts were rapidly taken to the
scene, but neighbors had extinguished
the blaze before the firemen arrived
The fire originated from sparks from
a wood fire in Mrs. Jacobs stove falling
upon the dry shingles of the roof. The
damage done was slight.

Lucky Teachers.

Frank Hindson, of Sandy valley, has
been appointed by Foster directors to
teach at Sandy Run, and by Halle
directors to teach at Lattimer. The
Foster appointment is nearer his home
and pays more per month, and he will
likely resign the position at Lattimer.
Miss Hattie Cunningham, who was
appointed to teach at Conyngham by
the board of that township, has also
received from Halle directors school
at her home in Drifton and will accept
the latter position

Beaten at Berwick.

The Stars base ball club gave the
people of Berwick a fine exhibition of
ball playing on Saturday afternoon.
Berwick, however, put up slightly
0. This was the first game the Stars
have played this season, and with a
little more practice strong nine can be
formed from the material at hand
Berwick turned out large crowd to
see the game. The visitors were adver-
tised as the Freeland Tigers and the re-
putation of the team drew people from
miles around.
