THING ABOUT ROAD JURY
VIEW LAW.
H The district attorney called the at
ntion of the Court to the fact that
lie term of Dominick Luciani had
Rpired and presented an application
+ pr his discharge under the insol-
- ent law. The petition stated that
October 16, 1911, he was SEN
snced by the Court to pay fine OF
SH00 and the costs of prosecution
Md to undergo imprisonment in the
bunty Jail for a term of three
onths, to be computed from Sept.
1911. That the term of his i'm
risonment has expired but that he
unable to pay the fine and costs of
rosecution for the reason that he
las no money or other property with
fhich to pay the same. That he has
10 property except some household
oods that are with his wife in
ackawanna county. That the val
e of the same would not exceed
150.
ne OOuTI IudI IuC SOh-
&bissioners of Wayne county be per-
&hitted to discharge Dominick Lu-
&iani without the payment of costs
r fine if in their opinion they deem
] proper and on such terms as they
hay direct.
Luciani, it will be remembered,
Headed guilty to the Indictment of
yelling liquor without a license at
houdsboro, Lehigh township.
Luciani was brought into Court
by Deputy Sheriff F. H. Crago. He
kas followed several minutes later
by his wife, who took seat direct
y back of him in the grand jury
box.
1t was a happy couple that left
he court room, and proceeded to the
commissioners Office where Luciani
offered to sign note to pay the
line. He signed note for 500.
II have two children SICK" Mrs.
Luciani, who had come on from
bcranton to welcome her husband,
told a Citizen man. HE belongs to
ne more now than he does to you"
Bhe said, turning gleefully to Sheriff
M. Lee Braman. 1t was pathetic to
hear her tell of the little children she
= eft behind her in Scranton who kept
Saying over and over again, yester-
day Papa is coming tomorrow.
= m so happy!"
Luciani told the newspapermen
that he was going to come back to
Wayne county to pick berries next
Summer. 81 pick 1000 quarts in
Wayne county last year." he declar-
led.
1t was joyful couple that left
IHonesdale Monday afternoon for the
Electric City. The Lucianis will
spend the happiest Christmas of their
Lives on December twenty-fifth,
nineteen hundred and eleven, for
|" Papa is home again" and the fam
lily circle is complete.
The December session of argu-
|ment court held Monday, Judge
Alonzo T. Searle presiding, was feat
|ured by the appointment of Hon
Charles A. McCarty, to fill the va
vancy in the Office of Burgess OF
|Honesdale. The release of two
prisoners from the county jail was
ordered by the Court, and one ole
offender was sentenced to spend si2
months in the county bastile. Sew
eral guardians were appointed, and
number of other important DEGREES
handed down.
Judge Searle requested all the
lawyers to examine the Act of 1911
on the question of appointing
Board of County Road Viewers. 50
find the practice in Susquehanns
county" he said, somewhat differ
ent. Judge Little called all the
lawyers together, and they deter
mined not to act under the 1911 Law
but under the old act"
Judge Staples nasn't appointed
such a Board. We'll not make an!
appointment of such BoarC
Viewers until the second Monday II
January"
In the opinion of Judge Searle tn,
carrying out of the provisions of tn,
fact involves a great expense to th'
county.
District Attorney M. e. Simon
called the attention of the Court t.
the remissness of some of the JUS
tices in returning transcripts Il
Court.
"The procedure of a good man
Justices, he said, is to retain tn
transcripts until just the day befor
the grand jury meets, and then nus
tie them in"
Judge Searle thought too that tn
transcripts should be returne
forthwith" as the Law provides.
