the best plays and some Of the finest
acting that has ever come to the town.
Mr.. Granger is surrounded by a com
pany that permits him to render this
romantic drama in a style and manner
that compels spontaneous and unstinted
outbursts of applause from the audience
The costumes were the most handsome
and costly ever worn on the local stage.
The management of the house gave the
people their guarantee that the play was
lirst-class and this claim was proven to
the satisfaction of all who attended.
The patronage accorded it is no induce
ment to book shows which require high
guarantees.

who was only a foot or two away, and
threatened to blow his head off.
"Jenkins and Wiscavage, who were
near, thinking that Comp was about to
shoot, rushed in and grabbed him and
took the revolver away from him. Then
Comp fled up the street, pursued by
jenkins, who desired to place him under
arrest. The evidence of the defendants
was corroborated by several other wit
nesses to the affair.
1T was also developed that on the
following evening Comp sent for the
defendants and that when they went to
his home he told them he was sorry
there had been any trouble and stated
that he had not sworn out warrant.
Three days after, at about O'Clock in
the morning, three coal and iron police
men came to the home OF Marshman and
dragged him away from the side of his
wife and baby and took bim before a
squire for hearing. Comp, it was
stated, while the nominal prosecutor In
the case, had not sworn out the warrant,
but it was sworn out in his name by
Karschner.
I'm charging the jury Judge Ferris
clearly outlined the rights of the work
ingmen and also the rights of the cor
porations. He said it was clearly the
right OF man to work or to quit work
If he so desired When man or a
body of men, he said, went out on
strike it was their right to use per-
suasion upon their fellows to cease
work and that it was clearly within
this right to address a man upon the
public highway and endeavor to induce
him by argument to quit work, but
that it was a violation of the law to use
threats or violence.
Comp, he said, had no right to draw
or to attempt to draw a revolver upon
the defendants unless they had made
threats against him and he believed he
was to be attacked, and If the jury be-
lieved the testimony of the defendants
and their witnesses they should be ac-
quilted as it was the duty of every citizen
when a misdemeaDor was about to be
committed to interfere and prevent it If
possible.
In instructing the jury as to the dis
position of the costs Judge Ferris said
that in case OF acquittal the jury could,

instead of the real prosecutor, place the
costs upon the real prosecutor in the
case.

ARE HAPPY
Arch Enemies Of Labor De-
feated in Court.
Signal Victory for Strikers
in Gases Which Grew Out
of the Shop Trouble at
Drifton.

The acquittal of John Ward and An
drew O'Donnell, who were arrested dur
ing the Drifton shop strike on charges
of assault and battery preferred by John
Birkbeck, was followed yesterday by
the acquittal of Robert jenkins and
Alfred Marshman, who were charged
with the same offense by Foster Comp,
The four young men took prominent
part in the strike, and in so doing in
Cured the displeasure of the clique who
have charge of Coke Bros. & Co. S affairs.
To intimidate them and their fellow
strikers the four were arrested on trump
ed charges and the agents of the Drifton
corporation boasted that they would
send the accused men to jail for long
terms. The verdicts OF the juries in
discharging the prisoners and placing
the costs OF the cases on the prosecutors
are therefore notable victories for or
ganized labor aud signal defeat for its
enemies.
The story of the trial, as given by
the Wilkesbarrs Record, is as follows:
1.-THE time before Judge Ferris ysster-
day was occupied in the trial of Alfred
Marshman and Robert Jenkins on
charges of assault and battery made
against them by Foster j. Comp. Pre-
vious to the recent strike of the ma
chnists the defendants were employed
in the shops of Coke Bros. & Co. John
L. Lenahan appeared for the defend
ants and assistant district attorneys
Williams and Farnham were for the
commonwealth.
1.-The plaintiff testified that during the
strike in July last he remained at work
and was annoyed by the defendants
who desired him to come out on strike.
One evening, he alleged, he was on his
way home from work and was met near
the depot by the defendants and third
man named Wiscavage. They stopped
him and when he refused to agree to
quit work assaulted him.
HE finally broke away from them
and ran down the street and was fol-
lowed by Jenkins and was forced to
seek refuge in the house of a coal and
iron policeman named Karscbner. Jen-
kins, he alleged, also threw stones at
him and after he reached the house in
vited him out to fight. Karschner and
other coal and iron police also testified
that the defendants had assaulted
Comp, although Karschner displayed a
remarkable lapse of memory when he
was confronted with his testimony given
at preliminary hearing of the defend
ants and at the injunction proceedings
brought by the company.
TIE DEFENDANTS SIDE.
"The defendants in their own behalf
stated that on the night In question
they were at the depot at Drifton and
met the plaintiff, who was on his way
home from work. Marshman went up
to him and endeavored to persuade him
to join the strikers and Comp at once
became angry and drew a revolver and
pointed it at the breast of Marshman,
