rough in places and finally ascends by
paths too steep for wheels. Part of the

MARYC C0WAN'S
STORY.
She Tells of Jim Pierce but
it Does Not Impress
the Grand Jury.

Chester. March 7.-Solne OF the impor-
tant witnesses in the case against james
and Amos Pierce, charged with he murder
of George B. Eye. aro In revolt against
the dilatory proceedings of the Delaware
county grand july, now in session in
Media
The jury has now spent parts Of two
days In hearing the witnesses, and 1t is
still far from being satisfied that prims
tacie case against tho Pierces has beon
made out. The.inquiry Is to be continued
to day.
Evidently the Chester policemen and
the county officials who have been Of tho
opinion that tho grand jury would indict
without considering half OF tho evidence,
do not know what to make of ths deiay.
Mary Ccwan, the woman OF Whining
ton. told her sensational story of james
Piercos dream and confession Of murder
without ising the jury in the least.
She WAS heard OH Monday and was called
second time yesterday. On her reap.
pearance before the jury she was directed
10 give her testimony over again. She did
so. only to bo bluntly told that she had
varied in many important particulars
from the version presented to the jury tho
first day
Ihon the woman was cross uestlcned.
She WIS cajoled, upbraided. worried and
finally made to feel her unfortunate po.
siton SO keenly that sho quite broke
down.
Manifestly the jury Is not in that con-
ditlon Of harmony with the prosecution
that tho attorneys for the Colnlno on wealth
might dosire. This, OF course, Is not au
Indication that the billA against the
Pieroes will be dlsregarded. II is, how
ever, enough to make those persons who
have watched the progress of the case very
doubtful about the outcome.
1t was intimated yesterday that If the
Delaware county grand jury fails to in.
dict the Pierces, proceedings will be be-
gun at once in Gloucester county, N. j.,
where tho body was found, and where,
presumably, the murder was committed.
Possibly ho grand jury at Media may be
considering this feature OF the situation.
The expense OF trial such as that OF the
Pierces would make quite an item In the
County Tseasurer's books for the year.
1t is of interest In this connection that the
grand jury in Gloucester county has been
held over for week, and 1t is very likely
that the Judge who decided not to dis
charge the jury had some emergency in
mind.
For two days seven New Jersey witness
ses have been in attendance on tho grand
jury sessions at Media without having
been called. Late in tho afternoon yas-
terday John Carney, who found tho body
cfEyro, Went into the jury room. He Is the
only one of he New Jersey men who has
had chance to say any thing to tho jury.
These witnesses all went away indg-
nanG yesterday. They declared they
would no6 return to Media. Dr. Laws,
particularly. was enraged. He missed the
Delaware River Railroad tho day before
and had to get tug to land him in G!ou.

City Court Cases,

Before Judge Ball in the city
court this morning Emanuel Brown,
colored, was charged with assault
and battery on Laura Brown. She
appeared on the stand with small
baby in her arms. She testified
that he got up yesterday morning
and lighted the fire. When she
was dressing Emanuel cut her
eight time across the face and back.
AS she was going out the door he
struck her with his fist. Jealousy
is the cause of the etrouble, During
her absence to get the warrant he
took the two children from the
house with nothing on but their
night slips. For the defense Mrs.
Jane White was called to the stand
Her testimony was 10 the effect
that the trouble was over another
man. The case will be investl-
gated by Agent Stout.
