THE BRIDGE CASE.
The motion for new trial in the
Beaver bridge case was heard in part.
by the Court, Tuesday afternoon. All
the iurymen on the case were present
and were put on the witness stand, but
only one of them, Joseph Wally of Hill
lard, acknowledged to having been
approached, with money, to influence
his action as juror. Three Beaver 20.
attorneys. all big enough to hold down
the lid, were here in the interest of the
Bridge Company.
The newspaper article stating that
the award of the viewers was 1904, 600,
and that the verdict would be over
$500, 600 was in the jury-room. and one
Juror stated that it Influenced his

The case was continued until to-
morrow a week, Oct. 9th, at which
time, Mr.. Anderson, the Beaver county
man who Mr.. Wally says approached
him in the ice-cream parlor, is to be
present.
The only amusing feature of the hear

o'clock, and slept soundly till 6 o'clock
next morning-this while the war
waged, all night, between the High and
the Low men.
