MAasArAsH CONVICTED OF VOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER. —After being on trial
two days and a half last week the jury on
Saturday morning returned a verdict of
guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the
arash, charged with the killing of Annie
Duke, the ten year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Duke, at Cato, on the 29th of
last July.
The killing took place at the wedding
celebration of Andy Torcyk and Annie
Puskar. The young people were married
at Clarence, and accompanied by a few
friends, went to Cato where the wedding
celebration was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Masarash. A large num-
ber of witnesses were heard in the case
and the evidence showed that when the
train bearing the young couple arrived
at Cato there were forty or more of their
friends there to meet them, among the
number being Masarash. Several of the
foreigners fired off revolvers as a salute
to the bride and groom, among the num-
ber being Masarash. In his own testi-
mony he shot three times in the air and
that when he pulled the trigger the fourth
time there was no explosion. His revol-
ver, however, which was put in evidence
showed five empty shells, which would
account for the three shots fired in the
air,one shot which killed Annie Duke and
another shot which seriously wounded
her brother, John Duke Jr. The nature
of the wounds in both children indicated
that the bullets came from Masarash’s
revolver.
While there was no evidence to show
malice or premeditation, all the testi-
mony pointed direct to Masarash as the
man who fired the fatal shot. The case
was called for trial on Wednesday after-
noon and continued during Thursday and
Friday. the jury retiring late Friday
g afternoon. They were outover two hours
and their verdict returned on Saturday
morning was “guilty in manner and form
as he stands indicted,” which was for
voluntary manslaughter, The defend-
ant’s attorneys, Messrs. Gettig, Bower &
Zerby, at once made a motion for a new
trial and they will have twenty days in
which to file their reasons for same. In the
meantime Masarash is out on bail and
will doubtless continue so until his case
is finally disposed of.
District attorney D. Paul Fortney was
assisted in the case by William Groh
Runkle and J. Kennedy Johnston Esgs.

is natural, that happened in true life; it
is a play with ali the ease and grace that
a theme with a touch of nature has.
This play has toured the principal cities
of this country, and has been proclaimed
a success. It is entertainingly played
with comedy situations, surprises, and
above all a lesson.
