The result was that the car, a double truck er, struck the boy, throwing him to the tracks and dragging him a distance of eight feet before the car could be brought to a halt. When car was stopped it was seen that the body was wedged underneath in such a manner that is required the use of jacks to raise the car in or. der to relcase it. A call was immedately sent to this city for the wreck car, but the time it arrived a persons who had borvowed jacks at the silk mill succeedad in extricating the body of the boy.

Life was extinct. The body was horribly mangled and presented a sickening sight. Undertaker Kinney removed the body to his morgue where it was viewed by Coroner J. Treichler Butz who investigated the case yesterday afternoon. The unfortunate youth was a son of John Tannenbaum.

WARRANTS ISSUED FOR ARREST OF ALL IN NAZARETH CASE Both Women and Men are Now Confined in Easton Jail.

PROMINENT ATTORNEYS ENGAGED BY DEFENCE The Trial Will Likely be a Legal Battle as the Best Talent Will be Secured. An unexpected development took place in the Nazareth murder case yesterday when County Detective Johnson went before Alderman Reed and swore out warrants charging Robert Bachman with the murder his niece, Irene May Smith, and Mrs. Robert Bachman with aiding abeting the crime. The complaint was presented by District Attorney McKeen, of Easton, who accompanied Detective Johnson to the magistrate's office. Warrants were issued immediately.

While one officer went to the county jail, at Easton, and served the writs upon Bachman and Smith, who are still locked up, other officers left Easton for Nazareth, where Mrs. Bachman was placed under arrest for Alliance where Mrs. Smith was again taken into custody. Both women will again committed to jail, and neither will be released unless their attorneys apply to the court for writs of habeas corpus. The District Attorney says he is prepared to resist any such movement and is satisfied that will be able to keep both men and both women jail until the case called for trial in June.

Mrs. Henry Smith's release from custody, after the coroner's inquest was completed on Wednesday afternoon, was more of a matter of cour tesy on the part of the District Attorney than any decision to allow the woman to retain her liberty. Her father in Alfred Smith, gave $2000 bail for her appearance at any time the District Attorney desires, and pledged his word that he would see that Mrs. Smith did not attempt to leave the jurisdiction of the courts of Northampton county. The re-arrest of Mrs.

Bachman was a surprise, inasmuch as it was announced on Wednesday that the woman would be allowed to remain at her home until the trial takes place. After reviewing the testimony and evidence gathered thus far, District Attorney McKeen arrived at the decision to charge Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bachman with being accessories to the crime.

They will be indicted along with Bachman, on charge of murder in the first degree. Attorneys for the Smiths stated yesterday that they will probably apply to' the court for a writ of habeas corpus to have Mrs. Smith released on bail and probably Smith, too, while Mrs. Bachman's lawyers may make a similar effort to have her re leased. Neither step is likely to be taken, however, for a couple of days.

The law firm of Paff Laub, of Easton, has been retained to look after the interests of the Bachmans, while A. C. LaBarre and T. D. Danner will represent Mr.

and Mrs. Smith. That the trial will be a great legal battle is inferred from the report from Nazareth that friends Bachman family de coming, clare that Dr. I. A.

Bachman, brother of Robert Bachman, will spare no expense in seeing that the accused has the advantage of the best legal talent. The funeral of the child was held yesterday and was the means of attracting great crowds. of people at Alliance and Stone Church where the main services were held. The mother of the child was taken into cus tody by the officers at the close of the services. Another Store.
