TRIAL OF JOHN J. coYLE.
\ Sensational Scene in the Court
Room, mt Harrisburg.

HARRISBURG. Pa. March 24.-State
Senator John J. Coyle was put on trial
today for an alleged attempt to hribe
Representative john Engler, of Lyeoming
County, TO support the McCarrel jury bill
in the last Legislature. The most sensa-
tional episode Of the day was the en-
trance of Michael ]. Costello. He bas
been a fugitive from justice since last
September He is wanted in Lycomlns
County. where he has been Indicted or a
charge of corrupt solicitation on oath Of
Representative Engler. Costello was also
much wanted by the defence today as on
his testimony largely depends the case al
Coyle.
After the testimony of Representative
Engler. in which he recited the story that
he told before the investigating committee
of the House last winter, Charles II. Berg
ner. special counsel for the prosecution,
announced that the Commonwealth rested.
Then former Representative George Ken
KEEL. of counsel for COyle, arose to address
the Jury In the opening speech for the de-
'ence He declared that 1t would be shown
that the conference between Engle. Coyle,
and Costello, in Coyie's room al the Lochiel
Hotel on February s. last year, was III
the interest OF Costellos brother. vino
was then under Indictment upon several
charges. He was about to proceed when
the door was burst open and Costello was
swept into the room with an excited mob.
Costello took the stand and for more than
an hour was subjected to questioning ana
cross questioning by the lawyers on both
sides.
Meanwhile Deputy Sheriff Miller. OF VII
Transport, wanted Judge Simonton 10 re-
lease Costello TO him so that ne niishe

train insisting that the crowd III the Gun
ridor outside had taken the pilsone! iioii
him Costello denied emphatlcally tHdt ne
was a fugitive from justice anu uecidreu
hat Inc had never been served with any
legal papers. All that ne knew ABOUT the
WilIiamsport case was what he had seen
IN ,b,. newspapers. lie said he had recently
hasu in New York. but that he had more
man once visited his home in Philadelphia.
The burden of his testimony was that
III. had come to Harrisburg during the
last session of the Legislature TO help
along the passage of the McCarrel jury
hill in the hope that a change in the sys
tenn of selecting jurors might help his
brother in his approaching trial. COstel-
los story was an entirely different YER
sion of the visit 10 COyle's room from thai
given by Engler. who had not only testi-
fled that $500 was offered TO him to vote
for the McCarrel bill, but that Coyle had
agreed to let him into other good things

When Costello had finished his testi-
mony the lawyers for the defence invited
him to- a seat near them and again the
tumuit arose over Deputy Sheriff Miiier's
claim. II all came to an end. however.

advantage of the visitors errors.
Hillebrand pitched the first five innings
for Princeton. and although Rutgers was
able to pound out six singles, he managed
to keep them well scattered. In the sixth
inning, with the bases full, Steinwender,
