Osborn, it is said. struck Schmidt
over the head with a blackjack in
tho vicinity Of the Lehigh Valley
bridges early yesterday afternoon,
this incident being responsible for
the formers arrest. The blackjack
did not do the damage intended as
the thin wood on the outside of a
piece Of lead, broke in colEding
with Schmidt's dome. Some head.
Schmidt said in court this morn
ing that his skin had been broken,
but aside from being dazed, the
Blackjack crack had little effect on
him. Word as passed around this
morning that when the real story
Of the connections of the two Is
brought out, one will be found to
be as mad as the other. David 7.
Wilentz represented complainant
and ex-senator Thomas Brown
for the defendant. At the
request Of Mr.. Brown the case was

BOOZE CHARGE
IS DISMISSED
Warrant Against Manchback
Said to be Faulty and is
Thrown Out

| Flaws in the search warrant were
| case against Morris Manchback, pro-
prietor of a saloon at SIS Smith
street, and Steve Litoki, his bartend-
er, in the local police court this
morning.
This was the first search warrant
issued under the Hobart prohibition
act of 1922 in this county and David
T. WilentZ, who represented the de-
PENDANTS, pointed out umerou de-
fects. in connection with this war
rant. The most important were the
failure of the officer in charge of the
raid not to make a complete report
by affidavit of the result and the fact
that the warrant did not specify any
particular place at SIS to be search
ed.
Assistant Prosecutor John E.
Toolan, representing the city, went
over the "a WI 'ch started by the
finding of a young man in a. serious
condition in outer Smith street the
Sunday night before the raid was
made. The local police learned, 1t
Is alleged, through witnesses that
the fellow had partaken of "block-
and-fall' purchased at Manchback's
place. The police then prepared the
raid ON the saloon aad some liquor
vas obtained.
The owner was charged with pos
session and sale, and the bartender
with sale, and they wee released
in bail until the following Monday
night. Postponement on the latter
date resulted from the failure OF
the police to have their material
witnesses and last Monday night
another postponement was made be-
cause Recorder Pickersgill who is
sued the warrant, was not presiding.
After Attorney Wilentz had point
ed out the different defects this
morning, Assistant Prosecutor Too
Ian and the recorder agreed with
same, and the case was dismissed
Manchback was granted permission
to take his booze back to his estab-
lishment.
Manchback is perhaps the luckiest
Of men connected with the liquor
game in this section since the start
of prohibition. Detectives John
Murray, Joseph Gutowski and Mike
Muska conducted the raid.

PAY TRIBUTE
To BERNHARDT

This Morning in Paris
Draws Great Crowds

PARIS, March 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Paris paused this
morning to pay a final measure of
respect to the great Sarah Bern
hardt.
Crowds that gathered at the
church Of st, Francois de Sales for
the moor day service and at the
cemetery Pere Lachaise mourned
sincerely for her whom they loved
so well and they brought in profu-
sion the tribute of flowers she re-
queSted.
Bernhardt's body rested in the
rosewood casket which she ordered
made thirty years ago. On the breast
of her white satin dress vas pinned
the cross of the Legion of Honor,
while about her neck was the gold
locket containing the likeness of her
son Maurice.
The ceremony of the church was
simple, for Bernhard had expressed
a wish that there be no eulogies
The vault that received her body
was also unostentatious. On it was
one word Bernhard"
The streets leading to the Rue
Ampere where the Church of st.
Francois de Sails is located was
thronged with immense crowds who
hoped to catch a glimpse of some
part Of the ceremt nal. The Rue
Ampere itself was barred except to
cardholders. The street had been a
veritable flower garden all the morn
ing, as the offerings from the Bern
hardt theatre, the Opera, the Opera
Comique, the Coincide Franchise and
from individuals of every section of
the world Of art had been placed
near the church.
The exterior Of the little church
was sombre with black drapery, but
with a fringe of white and with the
initials of the Actress, IS. b." prom
inently displayed, The interior like
wise was draped in black.
The bier was placed at the head of
the nave, elevated about ten feet and
surrounded with several score of
candles, with a cross of lilies four
fit high at he foot. Places near
the bier were reserved for the artists
Of the Bernhard theatre.
