The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-09-10
IN THE COURT ROOM.
The September Session is
Being Largely Attended.-A
Large Calendar.
TWO MURDER CASES.

opened at ten O'Clock Monday
morning with the largest attend
ance for long time. The room
was nearly filled with people, and
there appeared to be general mani
festation of interest.
Among the most important cases
to be tried, and the ones which are
attracting the most attention are
the two murder cases. Amandus
Levar charged with the murder of
James McAndrews, and John Ses-
ock and John Cowash charged with
the murder of George Watsky. Be-
side these there are couple OF
highway robbery cases, and taking
it all together there will be an ex-
citing week.
w. p. Arter, constable of Cata-
wissa was ordered by the court to
confer with the District Attorney
in regard to information made by
Tillman Kleckner that Charles
Baker Of Catawissa was bottling
beer without license.
The Grand Jury was called and
sworn. B. B. Freas made foreman.
Judge Little stated that the
Court respected Labor Day, but
that action by the Grand Jury upon
cases brought before it would be
necessary. He then in caustic
terms condemned the recent inter-
ference with the Democratic
primaries in some of the districts
of the County. In concluding he
said it was just this sort of action
that compelled Washington to hang
the brilliant and noble Andre.
In regard to the numerous COM
plants of the roads in the various
townships Judge Little stated that
supervisors should investigate the
complaints and not only rely on
the information of other parties,
and that complaints against super
visors should be made in regular
form before Justice of the Peace
so that prosecution could be made
at the following term of Court.
This way the complaints reach the
Court too late and the supervisors
are to prepare defense, thereby
causing continuance, the roads are
fixed and prosecution discontinued.
Instructions were then given to
keep everybody out of the Grand
Jury room during the deliberations
of the Grand Jury. Neither the
District Attorney nor tipstaff has
right to be there at that time. This
arose from the fact that tipstaff at
last term of Court was present dur
ing the deliberatiou and an attempt
was made to throw out the indict-
ments on the ground of irregularity.
