CASE OF GovERNAEENT AGAINsT j.
NJ. -HAuoEK on TRIAL N
FEDERAL CoURT.
PENAL coNvIcT a wITNEss.
SAYS He AND Defendant MADE
$40 OF MONEY FRoAl THE
MoLDs ~ AN Attic.

The counterfeit case against John
NJ. Hanger, of Corinth, Preston
county. was placed on trial Wednes-
day morning in federal court, with
Judge Blizzard and E. NJ. Showal-
ter appearing for the Government
and Attorneys Conley and Hughes,
of Kingwood, for the prisoner.
The first witness on the stand
was a convict from the State peni-
tertiary at Moundsville, George
Manear, who was recently sentence
ed to two years in the State penal
institution for counterfeiting.
Manear claimed to be a confederate
of Hanger in the crime. He stat
ed that he and Hanger rode in
buggy one night and made an agree
ment to make counterfeit money.
Manear went to Cumberland and
Pittsburg. purchased the material
for the molds and returned to
Hangers home. where in the month
of September or October, 1905, he
and Hanger made the molds in an
attic and about $40 in counterfeit
money. Hanger got money at
bank TO aid them in shaping the
moIds right. After making the
money he gave Hanger $40 or $50
and then they broke the molds and
buried them not far from Hanger 5
home. The money was made in the
day time.
On cross examination it was
brought out that Manear served
time in the Western penitentiary of
PENNSYLVANIA and had also served
Jail sentences for various Ofenses-
Manear identified the molds,
which were found buried near
hangers h0mey when he was ar
rested several months ago.
Mrs. Joseph Kelley testified that
she heard a conversation between
Manear and Hanger abont 1elF
making the counterfeit money md
denied that she had stated that she
intended to swear to a lot of lies
on the witness stand.
Secret Service Agent Washer,
who made the arrest told the story
of the arrest and stated that Hanger
made a confession. The witness
related this in detail. The molds
were found buried along a stream
some seventy-five yards from the
Hanger residence.
The case will continue tomorrow
as the defense has several witnesses
to examine, and will use every effort
to put up a strong rebuttal of the
Governments testimony.
George w. Stuart, of Buckhan-
non, was tried in court Tuesday af-
tsrnoon on the charge of violating
the internal revenue laws, and
acquitted.

Mob law reigned at Pickens on

The Syrian leper's camp is but a
quarter of a mile from the town.
For some time he has had a
nurse of his own nation

liberties the people of Pickens did
not appreciate. he formed the
habit in his loneliness and isolation
of going from the camp into town
and trying to get access to the post
Office and stores. He did so Tues
day night but will hardly try 1t
again, as crowd of men set upon
him. after he had been repeatedly
warned not to come into town, and
beat and battered him up in man

camp some time.
The incident raised more or less
excitement and especially the knowl-
edge that number of men had
come in contact with him, but the
act Of excluding him from the town
in a. forcible manner is generally
approved in that section.

ROOSEVELT GREETS
BIG CROWD HERE

II wish l had half a dozen hands. so
could shake hands with all of you, !"
shouted President Theodore Roosevelt
yesterday afternoon to a big crowd Of
enthusiastic admirers at the French
street station. The President was re-
turning to Washington from Oyster
Bay where he had voted. His car, the
"signet," was attached to the rear of
train due here at $50 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. with the President was Sec
retary Root.
When the train stopped the Presi-
dents car was near Poplar street No
one was there except the crossing sig
mailman. Milton Harris. President
Roosevelt, seeing Harris, who is minus
one leg and one arm, stepped to the
car platform and with a smile and a
salute said How are you. young
man?" This brought the crowd that
had collected at the station. and then
the President retired to the car. Re-
peated cheers and demands for his APP
pearance brought the President to the
platform again. Asking the people tc
line up, he said he would shake hands
with them, and was kept busy then un-
I'll the train left The President stood
on the platform Of the car and bowed
until the train disappeared.

THE VOICE OF THE NATION.

THROUGHOUT the country yesterday the
i election resulted in most gratifying VIC
tory for the Republican party. The next session
OF the lower House at Washington will see the
Republicans with firm majority in support OF
the policies and the administration OF President
Roosevelt The voters have Overwhelmingly de
cded that the President should be commissioned
and encouraged to continue his good work all
along the line His administration has been given
tremendous vote of confidence. 1t was a great
and glorious victory, and yet the outcome should
not for moment have been in doubt. The rec
ord Of the Republicans in Congress was so ag-
gressive, SO responsive to the demands of the peo-
pie that it was almost unthinkable that the Re-
publicans would have been defeated.
The President will doubtless continue his adj
ministraton along the same wise and progressive
lines and urge those reforms for which he has
stood. His coming message will be awaited with
intense interest, now that the country has again
spoken in his behalf and approved all he has SO
far done
Congratulations Of the nation are due President
Roosevelt, and we feel sure that no one will be
more gratifed and more appreciative of the splen-
did result Of yesterdays voting than the Presi-
dent himself.

HuRRAH For DELAWARE

GREATLY gratifying TO Republicans is inc
NJ result OF yesterdays election. and especial
lv so is il here in our own State. Compared with
the vote OF other States in 1904 Delaware this year
leads them ar = Qur vote is nearly equal to that
Of The Roosevelt landslide two years ago while
in all other States the vote is much less. Repub-
licans eject larger number OF members OF the
Legislature than ever before.
The result Of the election in this State ought
10 settle once and forever the cry that Delaware
is and has been a Republican State because oi the
use of enormous" sums of money. This election
shows conclusively that Delaware is Repuohean
because the people so will It.
The Democrats have for years been raising
erv that the State was corrupt and that II was
held IN the Republican column solely through the
aiao.i rse ri money. The election yesterday
demonstrates how false that assertion has been
Inst as we have said and expned why IN tnese
columns Delaware rs drifted naturally into inc
peo,bl;can column. A free ballot and iair
CONT meant that the State is Republican and the
bsflot;no a Yesterday vndicates that claim.
The Republicans of Delaware have received a
cote Of confidence from the people Inc KepuD,
Ecan conduct OF State and county AFFAIRS III an
,t..e ~ The counties has been heartily approved
The Republicans are again loaded WIN 'ne 'e-
sponsibiiity Of giving the State and all the coun-
ties thereof, good, clean administration oi tneir
affairs. If the record OF the Republicans IN TINS
respect is continued there is no reason why 'ne
oartv should not remain in power indefinitely
The victory in the State is a great one ana every
Republican has reason to feel proud OF IT, we
trust the Republicans will value the cause oi 'nen
victory and make il the guide OF their actions IN
