GRAND JURYS
RECOMMENDATION
Alteration Of Ventilator On Court House
and improvements at Jail.

The grand jury presented its report to
the court in which the following i'm
provements were recommended:
Repair of cellar floor at Jail, removal
of ashes from cellar and the placing of a
cupboard in same for use of Sheriff's
family.
1t was also recommended that the
ventilator in the court house be altered
and improved by erecting upon it a
funnel-shaped fiue so as to prevent the
back flow of cold air.
With regard to the improvement of
ventilator on the court house, Judge
Little took occasion to remark that it
was recommendation with which he
heartily concurred, as the facilities for
ventilation of court room are inadequate
and occasion great deal of discomfort
when the room is crowded,
The public buildings were reported as
in good condition.

The following witnesses for the Com
monwealth were heard Yesterday after
noon: Franklin NJ. Taylor, William
Dyer, Andrew Kelley, Philip Boyer,
William Auten, Roy ShultZ, Alexander
Bilmeyer, Adam Smith, Morris Moser
and Daniel Morgan.
The testimony was mainly a reproduc-
ton of the evidence adduced at the
hearing, on May 2lst last, which was
fully reported in these columns at the
time. 1t tended to show that Moser
fired the shot with intent to kill and
that to avert suspicion at late hour he
rode to his fathers house at Strawberry
Ridge, where he spent the night, using
one of Alex Billmeyer's horses, which
he surreptitiously removed from the
stable. Moser's remarkable story as to
the man who fired the shot and the part
he himself played in the plot as related
by witnesses, made the evidence quite
complicated and added degree of in.
terest.
One of the witnesses Morris Moser,
who was called to testify, is brother
of the defendant. The young man was
entitled to good deal of sympathy.
His evidence, however, did his brother
but little injury. He agreed that Step
hen spent the night of April 18th at his
fathers house, arriving after they were
all in bed. The testimony of others
went to show that he arrived there at a
late hour after the shooting. The wit
ness, however, was certain about moth
ing. He could not tell at what hour his
brother arrived, but inclined to the view
that it was early in the night. They
were in the habit of retiring early at his
fathers house, he said.
The next witness on the list when
court adjourned last evening was Res
Burgerstock. More interest attaches to
this witness than to any other one of
the lot subpoenaed, as he is the man
implicated by Moser's discredited story
as the principal in the shooting. He
will be one of the first witnesses this
morning. There is little doubt as to the
nature of his testimony. He will no
doubt exculpate himself and assist mat
erially in placing the guilt where it be.

the animal sprang to his feet the man
was lifted from the ground otherwise
he might have been badly trampled by
the runaway horse. Fortunately no one
was hurt, although Mr.. Hendrickson' s
buggy was totally wrecked.
