JURY. NOW HAS THE CASE

and Water Company.
THE ARGUMENTS TO THE JURY
Attorney Johnson Spoko for the Defense
and Attorney Burns for the Plaintiff. .
Other Cases That Come l'p for Con
sideration in Court.
At 4.15 yesterday afternoon the hard
fought case of the Scranton Gus and
Water company against the Lucka
wanna Iron and Steel company was
given to the Jury, after an exhaustive
charge by Judge Gunster. .It Is not
probable that the court room at ono
time ever before contained a greater
number of successful men of the world
than were gathered ' yesterday after
noon to listen to the closing details of
this now famous trial. They were the
representatives of millions of capital,
much of which Is invested In this pro
gressive city, and has partially been in
strumental in making it the thriving
municipality it is.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing, George Barnard, superintendent of
the converting department of the North
works; Henry Wehrum, chief engineer
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany, and. Carl McKinney were called
to the stand to prove the amount of
water used by the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company, which It used inde
rendent of what It received from the
Scranton Gas and Water company.
Testimony Kulcd Out.
Edwin Moylln, of Harrisburg, was
called to prove the water rate In other
cities, but Mr. Amermnn objected on
the ground that the Scranton Gas and
Waiter company could not be bound Jy
the rates charged by other conipan's.
Judge Gunster sustained the objection.
' That closed the testimony, and then
the attorneys for the plaintiff and de
fendant presented their law points to
the courts and argued them.
At 11 o'clock Attorney Johnson, of
Philadelphia, begun his closing argu
ment to the Jury for the defendant.
He spoke for almost two hours, and was
followed by Attorney I. H. Burns, who
addressed the jury on behalf of the
plaintiff for nn almost equal length of
time. He characterized the action of
the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel com
pany In using the water of the Gas and
Water company without ItH knowledge
as theft, nothing more, nothing less.
Judge Gunster-3 charge was clear and
explicit. He laid all the facts plainly
before the Jurrors and for their benefit
reviewed the various law points. The
outctime of the trial Is awaited with
great eagerness.
There Is much conflict of opinion
among the Jurors evidently. Vp to 11
o'clock last night they were unable to
reach a verdict. Sounds from the jury
room indicated that exciting debates
were in progress.
Davis Trespass Case.
The action of Mrs. Jemima Davis
against the People's Street Railway
company was resumed before Judge
MeClure yesterday morning In court
room No. 3. It wus held by the com

mained in her seat hso would have been
unscathed. It was also held that the
pains -and disability she complains of
could not have been caused by the ac
cident, but are "due to rheumatism and
other forms of disease. The case was
given to the jury at 3 p. in. und it agreed

. Almost Had a lit, .
Mrs. Ilensel said she "almost hud a
fit" when she Baw her house after the
Kennyvessys left. Panels were broken
out of the floor, the plaster knocked off
the walls, which were decorated with
a, wild profusion of nails. The bath-tub
was dinged and hammered,, floors torn
up and the Interior of the house in gen
era! looked as if a Kansas cyclone had
toyed with it. The case was still on
trial when court adjourned. .
Before Judge Archbald the trial of
the case of 0. A. Hnlford against Will
iam R. Williams and S. I. Mager was
resumed .yesterday. The Jury re.
turned a verdict for $321.63 In favor of

ILENSEL WILL PROBE. ,
Will Ascertain If Foreign Loan Associa
tions Are Violating Law.
Announcement Is made from Harris
burg that the attorney general Is going
to probe the business ot roreign Duua
Ine and loan associations operating In
this state with a view to- ascertaining
whothpr they are within the law. It Is
suspected at the attorney general's de
partment from the Information already
Rocured that these associations are
dulnir Btrlctly a banking business and
are not conducting affairs on, the line
of a building association proper.
This decision Is doubtless based on a
petition recently presented to the at
torney general by ,.WV O. Laughna.; of
Harrisburg, asking that the depart
ment Investigate the financial stand
ing and responsibility of the Guaran
tee Savings, Loan and Investment com
pany, of Washington, D. C. According
to the petition this company holds out
to the public through Its widely clrcu
lated literature that it has a guarantee
fund paid up of $560,000, whlls it Is al
leged It has not even a guarantee fund
of $250,000. It Is further set forth that
the financial standing of the' company
Is not what it is represented to be, and
the commonwealth Is asked to Interfere
In order that the citizens of Pennsylva
nia may be protected.

COUNSEL FOR FRANK BEZEK
Court Asked to Assign Someone to
Defend the Murderer.
KILL BE CONSIDERED FRIDAY
What Bczelt Has to Say About the Mur-dcr-IIo
Loved a Girl Who Was
Below His Station in Life and
She Duped Him.
Franz, Bezek, the young Slav who
murdered his sweetheart at Mayfleld
several months ago, was. taken before
the court yesterday afternoon to have
counsel assigned to defend him. His
trial Is set down for next Monday, and
as District Attorney Kelly had Informa
tion that Bezek had no counsel he asked
the court to assign some one to defend
him that the caBe might not have to be
continued Monday because of no time
to prepare a defense.
Bezek, when questioned through an
Interpreter by the court, said his uncle
at Mayfleld had money to pay his at
torney fees, and that he wanted to con
sult with Martin Woyshner and would
employ an attorney on Sunday.
The answers received through the In
terpreter were unsatisfactory, and It
was decided to have the accused
brought Into court again Friday morn
ing, when Martin Woyshner, who seems
to be his confidential adviser, will also
be present. The question of counsel
will then be taken up again. I
What Bezek Soys.
Bezek is a very bright and intelligent
young man an 1 Is In his twenty-seventh
year. He apparently does not realize
now how close he stands to the shadow
of the gallows.
He talks a little English, but finds it
difficult to make himself understood
In that tongue. In conversation with a
Tribune reporter yesterday he told the
history of the events that led him to
kill his sweetheart. His father Is a
big farmer In Slavonia, and when a
youth Franz enlisted in the Austrian
army. He returned to visit his father
at Intervals, and during one of these
furloughs fell in love with the daughter
of a neighbor, who was not so well-to-do
as Farmer Bezek.
The latter was proud of his position
and forbade his son to marry the
daughter of his poor neighbor. But
Franz loved truly and when the girl
suggested that they should come to
this country to her relatives he gladly
consented and paid her passage. Three
days after arriving here he found that
he had been duped and thnt the girl
whose passage he had paid to this coun
try was about to become the wife of an
other. '
Filled with Jealous Huge.
Bezek Is of a quick and Impulsive
nature, and when he learned the per
fidy of the woman he loved he sought
her out and took her life and then at
tempted to kill himself. ,
He says that his only regret is that
he was not as successful In his own case
as In that of his sweetheart. Since his
arrest he hus written to his futher, but
the latter does not seem very kindly dis
posed toward him.
