wEDDELL ON TRIAL.
HEARING BEGAN IN CHAmBsRs-
BURG WEDNESDAY moRNING.
several witnesses Tsstlned In che Case
Against the Man Accused OF
serious Crime.

The case of the Commonwealth VS..
Newton B. weddell and Levi Kauff-
man, who are charged with the lar
csny Of a check for S4e0 from Mrs.
Zilpha RItharuff, East Market street,
occupied the attention of the court on
Wednesday and was the last one on
t g list. Weddell, who has been in
jail since his arrest at Cumberland,
Md. was brought into court at the
ringing Of the bell and took a seat IN
the bench reserved for prisoners.
Kaufman, who has been i'll, appeared
shortly before District Attorney Long
called the defendants to plead. We'd
dell, who had been represented by a
Cumberland, Nd. attorney at the
hearing before Magistrate kaufman,
is defended by Isaac /. Wingert.
Kauffman's attorney is Former Dis.
trict Attorney George A. Kvner.
When the jury had been called Mr..
Wingert made a motion to quasll the
Indictment, declaring il to be defec-
tive. Judge Gillian overruled the mo-
tion and directed that the defendants
plead. The plea OF mot guilty by
each was made.
Mrs. Ruthrautf was the first wit
ness. She reiterated the story told in
Magistrate Haulman's office of giving
Weddell the check for $500 with the
purpose in mind of having him pur-
chase for her a grocery store. She told
OF a visit with him to a store in pros
pect, of numerous conversations on
the subject, of Kauffman's presence at
her house with Weddell, and detailed
I the circumstances of his fight from
town with Kaufman. Teller WiIe.-,
of the Chambersburg Trust Co.,
identified the $500 check and testified
having paid N money to Weddell.
The cross-examination of Mrs. Ruth
rauff brought out the fact that the de-
Tense is trying to establish q condition
that would make Mrs. Ruthrauff and
Weddell appear as partners in the
grocery business, but Mrs. Ruthrauff
persisted in her conviction that no
such thing was contemplated by her.
Constable Charles E. Miller testified
that he had been given a warrant for
Weddell's arrest on March 5: that he
first went to Martinsburg, w. Va,
where he learned Weddell had pur-
chased three tickets for Pittsburg. He
then went to Cumberland, where We'd
dell and Kaufman had been placed
under arrest. He told of their refusal
to come to Pennsylvania without
requisItion papers and reasserted the
storv he told the magistrate.

Chicago, Sept. 7.-Cattle--The buy
ing movement in native cattle was not
remarkable. but this was due more
largely to the fact that receipts We're
meagre and the quality poor. Trade
was chiefly local and prices were
steady.
A little more animation is noticed
in the market for stockers and feeders.
A better inquiry prevails from the
country, and local dealers are little
more bullish in their sales. The mar
ket is generally steady, but more ac-
tive. Most of the buyers want some
thing good and they do not hesitate
to pay the price If the quality suited.
Wednesday an Illinois man bought 40
head, avera ging 1915 lbs at $40. There
were good many sales at $4@4.25,
which shows that more desirable cat
tie are coming. The market is not
quoted any better than last week, but
the outlook is more favorable.
Hogs.
Heavy packing hogs. while not show
ing the same gains as light sorts, were
taken rather freely by packers. The
demand for butcher weights for ship
ping and local account, was good.
Gains were about 10. on an average.
Sheep.
Demand was active, considering the
run. and prices were fully steady.
