Charles was charged with running down and killing Joseph Peters with his automobile. When the Coroner's physician, Dr. Alfred H. Read, had given his testimony, he was asked by Judge Swartz why he had not held an autopsy. The physician replied that the accident had occurred about the timp that the County Commissioners and Cori-troller were refusing to pay many of the bills presented by Coroner King, and he thought he would risk it without making an examination.

The jury acquitted Charles, and placed the costs on the county. Special to The Inquirer. WILKES-BARRE, Oct. 6. William B.

McGuire, the former 'deputy city treasurer, who was arrested yesterday on tbe charge of attempting to bribe Mayor Lewis P. Kniffen, did not make a statement today, as Ihstrict Attorney W. A. alentine noped he wouid. It was rather expected that, in the hope of securing some immunity from prosecution, Mc Guire might decide to tell where he got the $40OO in casii and the $25,000 in Wilkes-Barre Light Company bonds which it is charged he offered the Mayor if he would sign the ordinance granting the company a seventy-five-year franchise in this city.

District Attorney Valentine still has hopes that McGuire will decide to give what information he has about the matter. If ne does not the District Attorney will proceed with the investigation with what evidence he has. It is stated that after the alleged attempt at bribery yesterday, and when McGuire was confronted with several men who were summoned to tbe Mayor's private office, he made statements in answer to questions by District Attorney Valentine which implicated two men. Later, however, he declined to make a signed statement to the effect and since then has thrown no new light on the matter. If he continues to remain silent an effort will be made to find out by other means what he meant by the statement which he is alleged to have made to the Mavor that several of the Councilmen "were fixed." Some of the Councilmen themselves are demanding that there should be a thorough inquiry regarding this without delay.

John J. Cummins, the vice president and general manager of the ilkes-Barre Light Company, said today that neither he nor any other official of the company knew anything st all about the alleged attempt at bribery, and he declares the ex-prsure is a scheme of enemies of the company to prevent it getting the franchise.
