ARCUINC FOR A NEW TRIAL
Case of Mutual Life Insurance Coin-
puny Against Johnson unci Wioton.
STATEMENTS MADE BY COUNSEL
oners Taken by iho Court. Which Will
Puss I'pon the Case Later Other Coses
That Were Argiied-Thoso' Con- .
tinued unj Settled.
Judge Gunster heard arguments for
and against a new trial yesterday in
the cuso of the Mutual IJfu Insurance
company, of New York city, against O.
S. Johnson end Mrs. Catherine Wlnton.
City Solicitor Tonvy opened the argu
ment on behalf of the plaintiff. lie
held that a new trial should be granted
because the court erred in passing upon
the law points submitted by the plain
tiff. In 1880, Mr. Torrey said, Yv. AV. Wln
ton gave two Judgments to his wife,
Cutherlne Wlnton, one amounting to
$:!4,200, the other to $14,000. These jmlg-
meptH were given when W. "IV. Winton
was shown to be Insolvent, Mr Torrey
argued, and the purport of them was to
defraud Mr. Vinton's creditors. Sub
sequently unother note wan given by
Mr, Wlnton to his son-in-law, Thumps
Llvcy, for n sum a little over $5,000.
Mr. Torrey nttutked the good faith of
this transaction nlso, and road a tran
script of the testimony of some wit
nesses whoso evidence supm-ted the
theory of fraud.
Kx-Attorney General Palmer, of
Wllkes-llanv, made the reblittlnir ar
gument and was followed by ex-Judge
Garrlck M. Harding. Their argument
was that Mrs. Wlnton was Juutlllod in
accepting the two judgments from her
husband, as it was proved by com
petent witnesses that she held a mort
gage ugainst her husibrtnd's estate fur
money she lent to him which was be
queathed to her by her father.
Court Took tho Papers.
And, as it was shown that thoro had
been a money transaction between her
self and luwbnnd, under -the law and
by virtue of the trnditloriM.of the su
preme court, Mr. Wlnton had tho right
to nnmo a preferred creditor, nnd that
one very naturally would be his wife
Further, the sale of the thirty acres
of land In dispute was not made on the
strength of the notes held by Mrs. Yv in
ton. but upon the note of $r..000 given
to Thomas Livey. The papers were
submitted to court and Judge Gunster
will pass upon them and hand down
an opinion. '
An interesting; case was that of J. M
C. Hands against G. W. Watson, ini
application for a rule to satisfy judg
ment. The plaintiff Fold a building and
lot on Spruce (street to Mr. Watson
the agreement price being $5,700. The
latter claims that in the deed Mr.
Hanck agreed to convey a frontage of
fifteen feet, and that only fourteen feet
were delivered. This ia all he said he
would pay for and he made out his
check for $5,450, which Mr. Ranch: ac
copied. They compromised the matter
yesterday, Mr. Watson agreeing to pay
the remaining: SMO.
Oth?r cases argued were: New York
and Ontario Land company vs. Laura
Weidner, rule for a new trial; George
Seal vs. John Gllboy; James Mack vs.
C. L. Hell; George Seal vs. Michael
Leonard, certiorari; Pottsvlllo Iron

THE LEFT SIDE BADLY ROASTED
Coroner Kcllcy Will Hold a Post .Mortem
Examination Todcy to Ascertain the
xuet .Manner in Which the In
Xortunutc .Man Died.
Anlhony Kullick, a single man, ase J
about 30 yearn, was found dead yester
day morning in a shanty on the culm
pile ait the Jermyn No. 3 colliery at
Pvlceburc The fxaot cause of deaitih
ia unknown as ycit, but Coroner Killey
will hold an autopsy today to ascertain
tiluut fact.
Kullick was a Polander nnd resided
with his brjoher-ln-law, Stanislaus Ok
novltch In a ihouse in the rear of Lin
oolif street, Prioeburg. He was not fond
of work and was Idle a gwud portion of
the itlme. He worked about Jermyn No.
3 breaker urJtll two months ago, when
lie was laid of;'. Since then he has done
nothing.
Tuesday morning Kullick left his
boiu-dlntf place about 8 o'clock nnd
went to Jermyn' a nlore, where he re
mained for Boms time. So far as could
be learned yett'jrday nothing la known
of his whereabouts after he left the
store uniil he v.-jiu found dead.
rinding of the HoJy.
Jirtia (lolKskl, one of Uie men cm
rluyoil on the culm pile, was horrllied
yifiterday morning on opening lha door
of the fihanty on the top of the heap in
which to:ds are keit, 'to see Uie body of
Kullick lylnp uiirtnr a bench, lie had
on only an umlt.-.iilrt, Irouyors, s.hoes
and stockings. The coat oovercd.Kul
lick's iluud and an outing flannel tsliirt
end vest were lying on the bench above
l.im.
(loiuskl .uoiified Kii!rin?er Peter Mse
lian' und the body w?.s taken out of the
phanty. The left -ilde was found to be
b:wlly burned and lb? misers of the I
l'iS'lit tand wero i.'i tile same comlitlon.

A number of thy dead man's country
men were examined but no informa
tion could bo pained from them a.s to
hov.' or when he roaa'.icd the spot where
he was found.
l!nr Agninst the Door.
It seems probable that Kullick went
to the culm pile Tuesday nlRht and
entered the shanty bcuise It was warm
there. It contained n r.tove that had a
little lire In it nnd yesterday morning
a number of half burnt sprags were
found protruding from the top, show
ing that some one had placed them in
the rtove during the night to revive
the lire. A heavy iron bar was found
against the door outside yesterday
morning. This could have been placet
there by a man inside of tho shanty
if he was sober and a trillo ingenious.
Kullick was not Ingenious. It remains
to be Ascertained if he was sober.
Having placed the sprags in the stove
Kullick partially disrobed himself and
laid down on the culm, which con
stitutes the floor of the shanty. The
center of tho heap is a mass of lire
and the unfortunate man was either
roasted to death by tho hot culm while
ho slept or was suffocated by sulphur
ous vapors. There are no visible signs
of violence on the body to Indicate that
he came to his death otherwise.
Stories That Arc Current.
Many stories were afloat in Prlceburg
yesterday. One was that Kullick had
been poisoned and then placed in tho
Bhanty, and another wa3 that he had
been takon there in an unconscious con
dition and left to die.
Those who believe In tho violent
death theory say that it Is entirely un
likely that the man would have climbed
to the top of a lonely culm heap at
night to find a place to sleep when ho
had a homo to go to. It Is al30 urged
that a man In the possession of his
right sences would not have lain on tho
culm until he was roasted to death.
Kulliek's brother-in-law did not want
the body taken to his home, but it was
done notwithstanding his protest. Thi3
afternoon Coroner Kelley will make a
post-mortem examination and continue
the Investigation.
