LOUIS WORSE AHD WORSE. How Non-Partir an That November Grand Jury Was! C. C. Stengel's Case Against John Tjrell Jnst Like the. Others.

JUKY DECIDED AT 0CE Jndge Jackson Says Ttey Might Have Made Oat a Case of Disorderly Conduct Agoinst Dagan. "FRAUD FRAUD! FRAUD!" Sol guilty' the verdict returned yesterday afternoon by the Jury In the Criminal division in the only election cm that vu enough of a case to Justify Judge Jackson In refusing peremptory instructions. The defendant In the case was John Tyrell charged with revealing the ballot of a voter in the Rt-oml precinct of the Eleventh ward. John Dugan was acquitted on peremptory instruction, as was Policeman Andy Miller, whose case waa tried Monday, but decision on the defendant's motion for instructions was deferred till yesterday. The Jury acquitted" Tyrell after remaining in the room only long enough for Foreman Miles to get their opinions and write down the verdict on the back of the indictment.

Although the case went to the Jury, It was no stronger than those which were decided by the court. The defense made a motion for peremptory instructions, but this waa point for the Jury, not the Judge, to decide. The November grand Jury Indicted Tyrell on the evidence of Mr. C. Mengel.

and Valentine Schmidt. Mr. Mengel was the Republican inspector, and who. Mr. McDermott charged in his argument, should have been indicted for being within the polls before the election closed, as bis duties did not begin until the count of the vote.

The facts of the ease, as developed yesterday by the testimony of Messrs. Mengel and Schmidt for the State and Tyrell in his own behalf, are as follows: Mr. Mengel went Into the voting-place and remained, there probably fifteen minutes. During that time Valentine Schmidt came In. re-reived la ballot and entered the booth.

He came out with the ballot enfolded. Handing it to Tyrell. who was the clerk, he asked if the ballot was spoiled, as be had blotted it somewhat. Tyrell examined It. as did bis fellow-officers, and told Schmidt that it was good.

Mengel then Interfered, claiming that they had done wrong. "You'-e got no kick coming. said Tyrell. who is a Democrat, impatiently; be voted the Republican ticket. In giving bis testimony yesterday.

Tyrell said that he was busy, and Men-gt-l's interference worried and angered him. and be said what be bad without thinking. When be realized that he had made a mistake be did what he had a right to do, though the occasion was not well chosen; that Is. had Mr. Mengel put out.

in his argument Mr. McDermott hit Mr. Mengel some pretty sharp blows. Judge Harris spoke for the Commonwealth, each side having fifteen minutes. In the other case John Dugan was charged with aiding and abetting the obstruction of an election, it being al-2fred that he assisted or incited Officers and Porstrng, who were tried Monday, Yo prevent Republican Inspector R.

H. Dorn from entering the polls In the Twewty-seeond precinct of the Tenth ward. That is what the November grand Jury indicted him for. It Is stated in the indictment. But exactly what connection there was between the indictment and the offense it is hard to (tad.

Judge Jackson could find none, neither could the attorneys for the Commonwealth, though they tried bard to-do so. Mr. Dorn was the first to testify, and. as on Monday. Mr.

Kohn objected -to bis credentials as Inspector. This Is a point upon which the Court of Appeals will be railed to pass. was going toward the door of the polls." eaid Mr. Dorn. "when Mr.

Dugan ohouted: That's no The Sheriff refused Mr. Dorn aJrr.lrrVoe. and called the officers. Dugan also advanced, and whi Dorn showed his credentials made his famous remark about Col. Pcott.

The witness added that every time be said anything to the officers Dugan "spoke up." "All Dugan said," asked Mr. Kohn. waa that you were no voter, and afterward asked who Albert Scott was?" "Yes. sir." waa the answer. "And that.Is why you Indicted Mm?" llr.

Kohn continued. "I did tfr.t indict him." replied the witness In mild surprise. "The grand Jury did that, I OoL. Scott and Mr. Carothers testified as to the appointment of the Republican The attorneys for the defense think that the Republican Committee had no right to delegate to Chairman Scott the power to appoint them, end this is a point they wilt urge in the Court of Appeals.

"I move for peremptory Instructions," said Mr. Kohn at the conclusion of the Commonwealth's testimony. "I sustain the motion," replied Judge Jacketn promptly. The facta, he said, might make out a ease of disorderly conduct or some other minor offense against Dugan. but they failed, to sustain the Indictment.

Judge Harris made the point that Dugan bad called upon the officers, but the court said that they did not have to obey him. The cases of Policemen Dan Sexton. Dan Bheehan. J. J.

Cooney and Tim Smith are exactly similar to those of Miller and Forstlng. Judge Jackson held In the last-named cases, deliver-- lng a brief opinion in the Miller rase sustaining the motion of peremptory Instructions, that where an officer authorised to call a posse, does so. a man can not be expected to decide whether or not the summons Is legal or illegal. He must obey, and this obedience Is sufficient Justification. a man fails to bey.

he is liable to heavy punishment. This ruling would Justify peremptory instructions for acquittal in the casea of the policemen indicted, as they simply, in each Instance, obeyed a Sheriff. In the cases mentioned above, the Commonwealth moved to file away the indictment), with leave to reinstate when the Court of Appeals shall have VI CLE AWD VICTN I AYBYvDAY 1 1 1 passed upon Judge Jackson's ruling. After some objection, this was done. Similar orders were entered In the cases of T.

O'Leary. George Braden. J. Ramser. Fred Graham and John Marples.

which involve the same point. All the other cases on the day's docket were passed till February 18. one by consent, the others because the Commonwealth was not ready. There are seventeen cases on to-day's docketat least eight of which depend on these same points and will be filed away. As soon as court opened yesterday morning.

Judge Jackson rendered his decision on the motion for peremptory Instructions In the case of Andy Miller, tried Monday. He had carefully examined the facts and the law. and thought the defendant entitled to his dismissal. DEAD IN A BASKET. The Coroner I'nable to' Discover Whether the Child Waa Abandon rtl Before Or After Heath.

In this instance tbe storm trawling northward through tue Mirsistdppi Valley, and may bnng warmer weather this This leads to the belief that the snow may turn to rain early this ntorru rut, but as ituiicationt favor a fulling tirperatortf duruig this evening or bwiigttt tue-chaiicea, are that it may Change aguin to anow before the stornt Sets by. ibis sort of a prediction presents a variety of diaTeeable wiatuer condition.
