fodder conr, after being cut down, was
stacked in a fieild, and that suddenly it
disappeared, but a trail of particles of
the green blades of the corn stalks that
led from his field to Isby's barn con
vinced him where It had gone. Mrs.
Isby declared that she carried a lot of
fodder from her father's farm to her
own home and in doing so had to pasa

EVENTS THAT LEU IT TO IT
Dnsclilno Threw Conforti Down and the
Latter Threatened to Have Ills Assail
ant ArrcstcJ-Work of Securing a
Jury Completed Yesterday.
When .court adjourned last evening
in the mnin court room, where Judge
Ounster Is presiding at the trial of
Joseph Boschlno for the murder of
Francesco Conforti, otherwise known
as Frank Conforti, Antonio Imbrlnno
was on the witness stand detailing the
manner in which the killing Was done
and the events that 'led up to It. He
was arrested with Boschlno and Kocco
Salvatorl Immediately after the mur
der and was held as a party to the
crime until the meeting of the grand
Jury, which exonerated Salvatorl and
Imbrluno from actual participation in
the murder. They have since been de
tained in tho county Jail, however, ns
witnesses, that they might be present
to give their testimony at the trial now
in progress.
The defense will make an effort to
show that Boschlno Is guiltless of the
murder and that It was committed by
Salvatorl and Iinbriano, who are now,
It Is alleged, endeavoring to combine
to luce the responsibility for the crime
on the shoulders of Boschlno. It re
mains to be seen whether the defense
will be able. to establish such a state
of facts. It Is yet too early to predict
whether they will or not. From the
testimony of the witnesses cross-examined
thus fur nothing of the kind has
been established.
Court Koom Crowded.
All day the court room was crowded.
Many wer unable to obtain seats and
the corridor leading to the main court
room was packed with a morbid throng.
IJosehm-i sat at the defendants' tuble
and uttered but few words during the
day. He was attired the same as on
the preceding day, except that Ills
orange and black tie had been re
placed by one the predominating color
of which was blue.
Beside him sat his wife, a sllght
bullt woman of the unmistakable Latin
type of beauty, who frequently spoke
to her husband, but Beldom got a re
sponse. After court convened yesterday
morning the work of securing a Jury
was again taken up and from among
those stood aside Monday, William F.
Sekol, surveyor, Scranton, and Philip
Smith, brakenmn, Scranton, were ob
tained. That made the necessary
twelve, ten having been obtained on
Monday.
Attorney H. L. Taylor made the open
ing address to the Jury for the com
monwealth and detailed the cir-'iim-stances
of the murder as he said they
would be testified to by witnesses that
the commonwealth will call. He be
lieved it a deliberate and wilful mur
der and the evidence to be adduced, he
thought, would sustain that view of
the case. Boschlno seemed deeply in
terested in the remarks of Mr. Taylor,
but evinced no emotion of any kind
when he was charged with being u
cold-blooded assassin who laid in wait
and killed his man from ambush.
Tho Widow on the Stand.
Mrs. Joanna Conforti, widow of the
murdered man, was the first witness
called by the commonwealth. She can
not speak English and Constant Morrl
sino, who is proprietor of a peanut
stand at the Lackawanna Avenue
bridge, was called as Interpreter. Mr.
Horn, of counsel for the defense, ob
jected to Mr. Morrlslno acting as in
terpreter for the reason that he does
not speak or understand the dialect of
the people of that part of Italy which
the parties to the murder come from.
Judge Gunster, after the interpreter
had been examined at length us to his
qualifications for the position, decided
that he was a competent person, and
directed that he be sworn.
Mrs. Conforti testified that she was
the widow of the murdered man and
that she married him three years ago
in New York city. Their union was
blessed by two children, one of whom
died. The other was born a few days
after her husband's death at her home
on Bunker H1H, Dtmmure. On Sunday,
Nov. 11, 1894, she left her house about
1 p. m., along with her husband, to
go to the house of Frank Bonnelilo, who
had a child dead. About 4 o'clock her
husband left Bonnello's, along with An
tonio Jmbrlano, Vlnenzo Blnzo, and
Frank Comberchilo. Boschlno was
not there at the time.
She did not see her husband ngaln
until the next day, when he lny dead

Coroner kclley's Testimony.
That ended Mrs. Confortl's testimony
and Coroner J. A. Kelley was called.
On Nov. 12, the day after the shooting,
he held nn Inquest on the body of Frank
Conforti.
"Did you hold a post-mortem or
autopsy on the body of Frank Con
forti?" asked Mr. Jones.
"Yes, sir," replied Mr. Kelley.
"What did you discover in your post
mortem?"
"Well, between the second and third
ribs and on tho right edge of the breast
bone I saw a little wound of a round
shape, and I cut down and traced It
I found that the wound continued to
the left of the body after It entered and
found the wound penetrating the heart.
It passed through berth walls of the
heart and the left ventricle or cavity.
After tracing the wound through both
walls of the heant I found that near
the root of the left lung there was an
other wound penetrating that, and after
searching in the cavity where the left
lung is lodged I found loose there a
bullet and a considerale amount of
blood." ,
"In your opinion was that wound the
cause of his death?"
"Yes. sir."
The ball taken from Confortl's body
was produced, identified and offered in
evidence. 1
Vlneaizo Blazn was the next witness.
He resides at Bunker Hill and is ac
quainted with Joseph Boschlno. He
was also acquainted with Frank Con
forti. He was at Bonnello's along with
Conforti on Nov. 11, and left there with
him. Later they went to the hotel of
Raldo Lally along with Angelo Oradonl
and Antonio lmbrlano. Joseph Boschlno
they met In tho hotel. After remaining
there until about 4 o clock witness and
Angelo Oradonl left and came to this
city, leaving the remainder of the party
at Lally's.
County Surveyor on the Stand.
A. B. Dunning, county surveyor, was
sworn and testified that hn made a
map of the scene of the murder. The
map was offered In evidence after Mr.
Dunning had been examined at length
by ex-Judge Ward, of counsel for de-
fense, agito Its accuracy.
Frank Bonnello was sworn, but did
not throw any light on the tragedy or
the events that led up to It, After
the noon recess Roldo Lally, In whose
saloon the men Bpent apportion of the
afternoon, swore that they drank noth
ing In his place and had no trouble of
any kind. Conforti, Boschlno, Imbrluno
and Salvatorl left his place apparently
good friends.
There was much anticipation and
craning of necks when Antonio lm
brlano was called to the stand. He is
a large man with a large moustache of
the same sweeping pattern as that of
Boschlno. They seem to be quite the
fad In Bunker Hill. In answer to Dis
trict Attorney Jones' searching ques
tions he said that he lived about twenty
feet from the house Conforti had occu
pied, and Is married, his wife being a
cousin of the murdered man. On Sun
day, Nov. 11, he met Conforti In Frank
Bonnello's house and left that place
with him and Vlnzenzo Blazo during
tlia afternoon. About 4 p. m. they
reached Lally's hotel and went In.
Hoschlno Was There
"Was Boschlno there?" "Yes, sir."
"What did Conforti say there?"
"When we walked Into Lally's Frank
Comfortl went to ask Roldo Lally if
ho could go himself and buy a lot In the
cemetery for Bonnello's dead child."
"Whut else did they do there?"
"Frank Comfortl then again said, 'the
priest,' he says, 'kind of chased me out
of the house,' and Joseph Boschlno
told Frank Comfortl that he was no
good, and that Is the reason the priest
chared him out of the house."
"Was anything else said by Boschlno
while you and Comfortl were there?"
"No, sir; they simply talked together."
"Don't you know how long you re
mained at the hotel?" "One hour and
a half."
"Did you go out together?" "Yes,
sir. Myself and Frank Comfortl."
"Whiclr direction did you take?" "The
road oflunker Hill toward our house,
"After you left Lally's hotel did you
see Boschlno?" "He reached us on the
road near the Erie and Wyoming com
pany's office," '
"Was he walking or running." "He
was running, and when he caught up
to us he suld, 'Why did you not wait for
me?' "
"What was suid?" "When we were
walking we were talking together and
When we got near the bridge Joseph
Boschlno threw Frank Conforti down.'
"Now go on and state what hap
pencil when you got upon the bridge."
"After he knocked him down Joseph
Boschlno took out a razor in his hands
and I grabbed Boschlno and asked him
why he did that for nothing and Frank
Conforti said to Joseph Boschlno, 'Why
do you want to cut me? I didn't do
anything to you.' Joseph Boschlno re
plied: 'What do you say about my
wife?' Then Roceo Salvutorl came
along and asked what happened. Jo
seph Boschlno then cut Rocco Salva
tori on the finger, and Salvatorl drew
a revolver. When Joseph Boschlno saw
Salvatorl with the revolver In his
hands he told me to let him loose. ;
let him go and he walked ahead."
"Who walked uhead?" "Joseph Bos
chino. Then Frank Conforti said two
mean words to him and another word
combining him and his wife, giving his
wife a bad character. He says, 'Tomor
row I will have you arrested.' "
Would Have lllin Arrested.
"Frank Conforti said he would have
Boschlno arrested Is that it?" "Yes,
sir. Then came along John Myran and
Frank Chlpreanno and Lewis Vailvian
iio. I told them that Joseph Boschlno
and Frank Conforti had simply a quar
rel; then the four of us took the road
and walked away towards my home.
When we walked away we left John
Myran and Frank Conforti and Rocco
Salvator! very near to the bridge. When
I got in the middle of the railroad I
heard some shots fired, then I turned
around and I saw who fired the shots;
I saw that it was Joseph Boschlno that
fired the shots. Just a little while af
ter I heard three other shots; then I
got scared and I run to the house.
That is the whole story I have got to
tell."
"Where was Boschlno when he fired
those shots?" "He was not far away
from Frank Conforti."
"Well, whereabouts?" "Right into a
bush."
"Which side of the road?" "On the
right side."
"Where was Frank when the shots
were fired?" "He was walking then
on the path." v
"Which direction was he going"
"Ho was coming towards the railroad
to go to his house."
"You say you heard two shots at
first?" "Yes, sir."
"And then three shots?" "Yes, sir."
"How Jong a space was there between
the time when the two shots were fired
and when the three shots were llred?"
"Two or three minutes." Later he said
it was not more than a minute.
"Where were the three shots fired
from. It you know?" "On top ot the
hill."
"Wrhat did Boschlno do, If you know
after he fired the shots?" "I cam'
to the house. I don't know nothing
else."
"Where was Rocco Salvatorl when
the shots were fired?" "The two of
them were together, Rocco Salvatorl
and John Myran."
"When the two shuts were fired what
did Frank Conforti do?" "He fell
down.
Story Not Shaken.
Mr. Horn cross-examined the wit
n ess at length, but did not shake his
story in any very material respect,

were all sober at the time. When court

" WE'RE Bill IS THE PUSH."
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions-'-advertisiug goods
at impossible prices, tind uo lodging;
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
Business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and liud new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add-
cd another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this season: LOWER
i'KlCES than you linuELSEWHERE.
