bumped into him and he pushed her
away. Gray advanced threateningly
toward Caffrey and the latter pushed
him into Il corner Then the bartender

The Jury Censured.

President Judge Fl. NJ. Edwards yes
terday censured in a mild way the jury
which acquitted George Cummings, who
was charged with using false meas

Joseph Taylor. John Demuth, Dennis
Hughes, Harry C. Hinkley, John Wag-

other men, We're selling potatoes at
Green Ridge. Prof. w. l.. Rogers
agreed to buy "a half bushel. but when
they were measured out he discovered
that something was wrong with the
measure and upon examination found
that the measure had a false bottom,
which took nearly two inches off the
depth of the measure.
Cummings was turned over to PATROL
man Addyman: the other two men es-
capped The accused said he had been
up in New York state picking hops.
and arrived in Scranton on Sept. II. on
his way home to New Jersey He met
two men who hired him to pcddlc po-
tatoes at S1.5O day. He did not know
who they We're. The measure was fur
nished by them and he did not know
there was anything wrong with it.
In rebuttal City Detective Iona Day
and former County Detective Thomas
Leyshon testified that Cummings had
been here all summer and was under
suspicion of using Il false measure.
When the verdict of not guilty was
rendered Judge Edwards said the evi-
dencc warranted Il conviction. There
is Il good deal of such fraud practiced
in this region. he said, and he would
not like the impression to so abroad
that such an offensc would go unpun-
ished here. AS Cummings has been in
Jail since Sept. is he had probably been
sufficiently punished, but, the judge
said, he would have taken that into
consideration in imposing sentence had
there been a conviction.

We Are Progressing.

1t is proud day when the average
boy passes from fractions to decimals.
1t is progressing; he is gaining knowl-
edge. We ought to be equally proud OF
our jurors, for after struggling with
fractions for weary years and years,
we have passed forward to decimals.
In the past, jurors in dividing the
costs have put half on one side and
half on the other. or three-fourths on
one side and One-fourth on the other
Sometimes, indeed, they went into
eighths, but not often. The jury in the
case of George kr nk yesterday d.
vided the costs by putting so per cent
on the defendant and 40 per cent. on

for this innovation are William Law
