IN LOCAL THEATERS.
Yesterday morning: was a fine one for
Cornell. The seats at the Frothlng
ham were In great demand, and within
an hour or two almost the entire; or
chestra and a large number of seats
In 'the .balcony and the most of the
boxes and loges were sold. Cornell
men say that the Frothlngham will
. have the largest attendance that it has
had this season for the Cornell concert
. next Monday night. There seems to
lie much enthusiasm among college men
in and about Scrartton over the coming
concert. Although there has been a
large sale of seats, still there remain
enough to accomodate all the Cornell
enthusiasts in and about Scranton.
v . 11 'I II
Christmas afternoon and evening the
charming Marie Jansen and company

"Delmonlco's at 6."
' II II II '
Those two ohamplons of comedy and
burlesque, Ward and Vokes, are billed
to appear at the Academy of Music on
Tuesday, Christmas Day, afternoon
and evening In the musical farce
Comedy, "A Run on the Bank." Some
Idea of the success of the attraotlon can
be had from the fact that every time
Ward and Vokes came 'upon the stage
they are greeted by a round of ap
plause, and in the, lost act when they do
their famous specialty, ' "Percy and
Harold," the theater fairly rings with
the continuous bursts of enthusiasm.
The supporting company Includes such
clever artists as Al Grant, Charles
Jerome, Harry Blancy, who will be re
membered by many for his clever work
In "The Limited Mail" and "A Railroad
Ticket;" Tony Williams, Maggie Daly,

Bezek's Counsel, Successful la first
Struggle for Time. ' ; ;
THEY WANT AN INTERPRETER
Intend to Bring an Attache of the Austrian
Consulate at Philadelphia Here.
Other Cases That Were Heard,
by the Judges.
Murderer Frana Bezek was taken
from the county Jail yesterday morning
to be present in court when his attor
neys were expected to argue for a new
trial. He did not change any since his
trial, and when a Tribune reporter
spoke to him and asked him how he
felt, he heaved a deep sigh and ex
pressed In broken English, "Oh, purty
good!"
Attorney George M. Watson ad
dressed the court at 10 o'clock and
asked to have the case continued until
the afternoon session, Attorney A. J.
Colborn being In Philadelphia, but ex
pected home on the noon train. Judge
Archbald allowed the continuance and
also permitted Mr. Watson to file addi
tional reasons for a pew trial.
In the afternoon Attorney Watson
once more moved for a continuance and
argued that he could prove If he had
time that a proper Interpretation was
not given to the testimony of the wit
nesses named in his affidavit. If he
were granted a week's time by the court
he would be able to bring a man from
Philadelphia connected with the Aus
trian consulate there who Is highly edu
cated in the Kraenlsh dialect, and also
In the English language. Mr. Watson
argued to the court that ho language
can be properly interpreted when It is
strained through two different lan
guages. A Continuance Allowed.
Judge Edwards asked Mr. Watson to
specify what part of the evidence was
not properly Interpreted, and Mr. Wat
son cited the question asked of Mrs.
Kramer, ''What did Franz then do?"
Her answer was that he asked Mary to
marry him. Mr. Watson thought that
such an answer was not responsive to
the question and would not have been
made if she properly understood the
question.
The three judges consulted a moment
and then made the announcement that
a continuance was granted until Sat
urday, Dec. 29. The attorneys for the
defense propose 'to put themselves in
communication with the learned gen
tleman from Philadelphia who will en
deavor to prove that the testimony was
Incorrectly interpreted.
Other Cases Heard.
Attorney C. Comegys urged the court
to grant a new trial in the case of Louis
H. Behle, of Archbald,- who was tried
at the term of .quarter sessions and con
victed of embezzling funds of the Tri
bune Publishing company, claiming
that Behle simply owed a debt and is
not liable in a criminal action.
Attorney John R. Jones wanted a new
trial for John Drozdeck and others
who almost murdered Max Koehler at
Priceburg about a year ago, and said
the court had erred In charging the Jury
on the subject of reasonable doubt. The
court decided that there was no doubt
in the case of the defendant's and the
new trial was refused.
Applications were made to strike off
forfeited recognizances In the cases of
Frank Patllomis and William Fitzpat
rick, and to remit costs imposed on
William Skinuer. John Spiegel and the
prosecutor in the case against Wolf
Boerner. Court later In tine day made
the rules absolute In the Skipper, Boer
ner and Spiegel cases.
