In common with all who know "Harry"

came here a comparative stranger but his
wlulngways, his business qualifications,
his thorough knowledge of all that per-taluod
to the office, and the morn than or-dinary
disposition to accommodate every
ono, won for him friends at once. It did
not matter whether you wore anxious to
kuow about matters connected with the
office or not Mr. Moyer was quick to se-cure
for you the Information needed. Not
often do you find a man so marked In all
the qualifications for tho important offleo
he held, for not only was he disposed to
aid you In any matter, but he was so thor-oughly
posted up in all the detailaofthe
position he'held and jould give you full in-formation
out and beyond tho demands of
the office Itself. But while we all miss
Mr. Moyer, and bow our heads In sorrow,
aud clasp hands and drop tears of grief
around his grave, yet it Is in bis home
where the cloud of sorrow is the darkest.
Tho profound sympathy of the whole com-munity
goes out for tho grief that rests In
that so happy a home. May the Lord bind
up tho wonded hearts and bring cousola
tion from a Dlvlno source to that widow
and the two little children of tho friend wo
all so loved and respected. [A FRIEND.

A Mixed lea.
A mixed tea will bo hold ou Thursday
evonlng, March 18th, at tho Presbyterian
church. Tho seller of tickets started out
on her unenviable mission: and before the
first piece of cardboard announcing "an-other
entertainment," was oxchaugod for a
bit of silver, she was plied with questions;
Do tell, what Is thlg "Mixed Tea"? It seems
only a few weeks since we heard of the
"Green Tea," when the blizzard prevontnd
us from gratifying our curiosity; but you
folks seem to know how to make an even-ing
pass pleasantly. After having explained
that mixed tea ment a delightful entertain-ment
mixed with "the milk of human
kindness," sweetened with fraternal love,
and kopt well stirred with musical aud lit-erary
talent, and so forth; after which,
"the cup that cheers but. not inebriates''
would be passed a round with cake accom-paniment,
and so on, tho buyor of tickets
no longer doubting, wisely concluded.
"The rehearsal of such an indulgent pro
gram warrants mo Inviting my friends

went on her way rejoicing, greatly encour-aged
with her success.

C. Tyson Kratz, Esq., represented the
Food Commissioner of Pennsylvania, wh
Is tho prosecutor, and the defendants were
represented by Messrs. Holland and I let
tra.
A F Seabold, Deputy Food Commie
■loner, testified that on or about July 1st,
he went Into tho store of defendants, No.

Win. Miller, a clerK In the store If they
had cider vinegar for sale to which he re-plied

the vinegar was malt vinegar, that It was

stated that ho did not sell the vinegar In
question for elder vinegar, but that It was
pure malt vinegar and was so designated
on i he barrel.
Tho Jury promptly rendered a verdict of
not guilty and Imposed tho costs on the
county.
Sour Kroutat Klndergan's Loading Meat Mar-at,
8 eta., par quart.
received his fatal injuries, but he
would show, he said, that Clinch wa-th,
only man alone with HcOneon thi
the patient was injured. He would not,

at present advised, is not aide i„ show

gne be rendered,
Tbe Commonwealth's Brat witness was
Dr. Florence Hull Watson, the hospital
pathologist, In which capacity, she said In
her teattmony, she had conducted over MO
autopsies. The dootoi graduated from
the Woman's Medical College of Philadel-phia
iii 1894, and then went abroad to pui-sne
her studies in pathological and micro
seopic work. She went into a detailed de-
■Cripll f .Met lie's injuiies. includiiiga
rupture of the bladder and the mesentery,
external biulsesand extravasation of blood
iii the abdominal cavity. Tho doctor sub
milted a colored plate of that part of tho
anatomy showing the location of Medic's
Internal injuries. The ruptured parts,
which the doctor hud preserved, were
taken from the Jin of alcohol In which they
wore contained and exhibited to the Jury,
this exhibition being accompanied by a
minute explanation.
In aneror to toe question, "What caused
Mil ues death:" Dr. Watson said ho died
from shock, resultant from the injuries
which she had described
"Were the Injuries self-Inflicted?" was
asked of the witness.
"They were not," was the reply.
"How was the Injury caused;-"
"It must have I n caused by some ex-
Ironic violei ."
In answer to a question by Mr. Holland.
Clinch's senior counsel, Dr. Watson said
gho hud made a careful research of the his-tory
of injuries to the mesentery, and found
that cases of rupture arc produced by rlo
lonco, death resulting In each case within
two days after the Injury was sustained.

Attendant James McOuillou testified
ihat he had aaslstud In putting HoCue to

saw no injuries upon his body aud hoard uo
eoiuplaiiits from him. When McCuo was

left of the navel. Wl the attendants
left the convict on Monday night he was
given in charge of the defendant, who was
night wiitchm inof I ho corridor upon which
Mot in'., loom faced. Th,. witness admit-ted
that McCuo, siuuetliu day of his arriv-al
at the hospital, had had some difficulty
with the passage of bis urine, necessitating
the Introduction of the catheter to relievo
him. The witness occupied tho room ad-joining
McCue'g but he rd no noises Iggu
ing therefrom during Monday night and

Steward atoorfaead saw Grimes and Fair-lamb
In McCue room at 5.80 a. m. on
lie-day morning. January Oth. Thodoor
at the time was wldo open and ho was but
twenty-eight feet distant.
Counsel for gefenoe asked that tho case
betaken from the jury, as tho testimony of
the Commonwealth failed to connect Cllnoh
in the most remote manner with McCuo's
Injuries. To this. Judge Weand replied:
"Not while the Commonwealth is willing
to proceed. 1 say this without desiring In
any way to comment on the nature of the
evidence. While the Commonwealth Is
willing to proceed I must give each both
sides a hearing."
Bat-Attendant Fairlamb maintained an
unbroken record for contradicting himself.
Ills testimony was rendered practically
worthless by rigorous cross-cx-nmlnatlon
I'airlainb was the star witness for tho pro-socution,
and It was mainly on his original
evidence that suspicion first attracted
against Clinch.
The first placo his testimony began to
diverge from his story at the inquest was
in the description of finding Clinch alone
in McCuo's room at 5.20 o'clock lu the
morning of Tuesday, January 4, a few
hours before McCuo was found writhing In
the agonies of pain.
•'I was walking along the corridor when
I saw Clinch standing In McCue'g room."
This was I'.iii iamb's chief statement.
In reply to Attorney Kane's question.
"Do you think your mind was clearer al
1|1" I'"« i's Inquest, four days after Mc-
Cuo's death, I ban it is to-day?" tho witness
replied, "I do."
"Then why did you testify at the Cor-oner's
Inquest -that we (referring to an-other
attendant) were walking down the
conidor when we saw McCuo's door open
and Clinch and the night watch In th<
i af "
The witness mado several evasive an-swers,
but when pressed to give a dlrecl
reply said, "I guess tho report is uot cor-rect."
"But suppose It's correct?" said Counsel
Kane. "Then," said tho witness, "It it
not true."
A NKItVOl-g WITNESS.
Dr. McCaffrey, assistant to Dr. Rich-ardson,
a very nervous individual, spent a
perplexing half hour on the witness stand
and fell a victim of twisted statements on
cross-examination. In reply to a question
by Lawyer Kane, he -aid that he had
hourd no reports of McCuo's personal hab-its
for three or four days prior to his Injur-ies.
L'pou this statement Crogg-examinei
Kane read from the proceodiugg of the
Coroner's inquest, at which Dr. McCaffrey
testified that Attendant Grimes reported
that tfoCue had not been regular in hit,
liii'ii- for several days. "How do you re
concile those conflicting statements, both
made under oath:-"
Dr. i cCalTrey replied: ••Wall at the in-quest
I was rattled. That was tho IIret
lime I ever took an oath aud the case be-ing
murder, ] was overawed. Judge Gor-don
on my cross-examination, tried to 'rat-lie'
11if and succeeded very nicely."
" I lieu." said Mr. Kane, "you want to
1 \'used for what you said at the Inquest
on the ground of 'raltlo.' "
"Yes," wearily responded tho witness.
Further questioning revealed that whilst
thenigbl watchman made carefully pre-parsd
reports on tabulated ehoets of paper,
Hi. McCaffrey failed to take epoclal notice
of the reports of McCuo's unusual condi-tion
for three days prior to his injuries.
To another question. Dr. McCaffrey re-plied
that McCuo had eaten but ono moal
for several clays before his collapse. Later
on in his testimony, the witness stated that
McCuo had eaten several meals In that
time. Called upon to explain those two
statements so much at variance with each
other, he explained relative to the one
meal assertion. "I did uot mean that."
The attorneys for tho defonso got the
witness to practically admit that the in-juries
could be self-inflicted. Ho foil easily
Into the trap, which was a decoy laid to
ensnare him.
It was developed by the testimony of
the attendants that McCuo was appar-ently
in his usual health of body at 5.20
ou the nionilug of January 4, and that
at 6 o'clock the si me morning he was so
severely suffering from Internal Injuries
thai I ould not sit up.
