The woman was arrested upon a
warrent issued on the information
Of \. +. Spellman special officer of
the Delaware Lackawanna and Wes-
fern Railroad Co. At a trial of the
case several months ago the evidence
against the woman was found to be
very mcagre. In fact it was so weak
that the jury, at the directions of the
court ignored the case and put the
costs on the plaintiff.
Instead of paying the costs, the
matter was neglected and the court
issued IA bench warrent The resul
was that an appeal was taken and a
petition presented by the plaintiff to
have the costs placed upon the county
This was also refused and now it is
up to the railroad company or its
special officer to pay the costs which
will amount to about S75. - B looms
