THE VSmm HEARD Testimony for the 1 'rusccutiun Closed Yesterday Afternoon, ATTOKXEY WEDEHAX OI'EXS Muppcd Out the Line of Defense That Will lie followed A Number of Character Witnesses l xauilncd Trying to Contradict the Comuionwculth. The fourth day of the trial of Joseph lloschlno for the murder of Frank Ocm foiti witnessed tliu close of the testi mony on the part of the commonwealth and the opening of the ease for the de fense. Attorney Wedeniun, of Koivst City, made the address to the Jury for tile defense. There was a large attendance all day, but the crowd at the ut'ternoou session was particularly dense und many had to be denied admission to the court loom. The accused and Ills wife Silt side by side during the trial ami took :i deep Interest In the proceeding-'', but neirher displayed any outward evidence of fear as to the outcome of the trial. James Mc-Orail. of i)unnioie, was the first witness called by the conimon- ive'tlth eft..,' tlw. ltiornlitir Wessinll opened. Ho described Confot'tl's posM tlon on the ground after he was shot. VI Fred Klein, a watchman for the Penn sylvania Coul company, said that on the evetiimc of Nov. 11 lie saw three men crossing the bridge over the Hearing brook. They Were Intoxicated and when In the middle of the bridge one of them fell and the others took hold of his arms and dragged him across the bridge. "About three minutes later," con tinued Mr. Klein, "I heard two shots tired, and then 1 went around under the bridge and up on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western track. Soon throe more shots were tired, and after that I heard some one crying with pain and saw a man running up the path toward the Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad." lolin .Myran's Story. John Myran said that on the night of the killing he heard persons tpuurrel itig at the bridge and with Louis Yal vanno, Frank Chipriantio and Joseph IVlalio went to ascertain the cause and found Koeeo Salvatori, Frank Conforti and Tony linbriano. Soon they separ ated, IVlalio, Viilvanno and Chiprian- waJUing ahead. Witness and lin briano followed and when about "'Hi fi et from the scene of the quarrel they walked ahead and caught up to the other men and witness walked back ihree or four steps when he saw a man iu front of him who tired three shot:'. Witness then darted Into the bushes ami struck the patch at the place wh.'i e Conforti lay dying. Myran was posi tive that it was Loschino who tired the live shots. Justice of th- Peace P.obert Scott, of Dimmore, testified that Myran did net testily at a hearing held before him. Imbriar.o was recalled by Mr. Hern for cross-examination, and said his wife sold his revolver to lloschlno last May. An adjournment was then taken, for dinner. opening for liefcnsc. Mrs. Philomeiia Fmbriano was the lirst witness railed In the afternoon. She cwore that she sold her husband's revolver to lloschlno last May. Here the commonwealth closed Its cae. and 1 1 c defense r.. -ailed Vmb.'iano ..lid Sal latotl tor further cross-exunlnat'on. After Attorney Horn finished w'th thein. Attorney L. P. Wod?man, of F 'tcs!City, addressed the Jury in o;:n Inu for the defense. He ingeniously argued to the Juty 'in f.ivor of the murderer an 1 roinpli-w-ui-il them several tim-s on their in telligence. Boscliino, he si, Id. was born la Salerno. Italy, thirty-thre-; years ti'o. and came to America in 1SSH. Mr. Wldomain then went on to tell the jury that it was not P.osi hino who com mitted the murder, but some other per son. Judge Gunster allowed the de fense to start out with putting charac ter wit'.tsses on the ,tand, in order to aecorr . inodate several Forest City busi ness men who wen; subpoenaed. Thomas Drown, engaged in the mer cantile business on South Main street, Foivst City, was the lirst cliaract -r witness examined. He knew I'.osrhimi seven years when he lived In that town and from the speech of the people the murderer was always looked upon as a peaceable, law-abiding citizen. Mr. lirown had never heard anything against him. John F. (iallagher also lives in Forest City. For the past eight or nine years he has been em ployed as outside foreman nt the Forest City colliery. He has known Hoschlno for seven years, who worked under him as fireman and watchman. After fifjschliitt committed the murder- at Dun more, Mr. (Iallagher heard several Poschino committed the murder at people comment on the crime and won der why a main who was looked upon as such a peaceable citizen should be guilty of such a crime. Certificates of (h. under. T. J. Pentecost, a Forest City mer chant, knew Hoschlno for several years. Mr. i'entecost was at one time deputy postmaster and afterward a Justice of the peace. He never heard a word against Hoschlno. District Attorney Jones cross-examined the witness and asked how It was that the name of Iloschhio hud been brought up for dis cussion. Mr. I'entecost said that there were only a few Italian citizens at that time In Forest City, and among them lloschlno was regarded ns "a per fect gentleman." Dr. W. It. Dickson, of Forest City, knew Hoschlno and treated him once when he had an injured hand. The murderer lived In one of Dr. Dickson's houses as a tenant and always com ported himself as a peaceable Inhabit ant. J. D. Caryl, who now conducts a restaurant in this city, used to be a foreman of the Itlllsldo Coal and Iron company. He knew Hoschlno there and always regarded him as a peace able, law-abiding ctlzen. Justice of the Pence W. J. Maxey never heard anything for or against the character of Hoschlno. J. It. Flcm Ir g for the pnst six years has conduct ed a hotel at Forest City. From the speech of the people Hoschlno was re garded ns a good citizen. Mr. Jones asked the witness If he ever heard that Hoschlno was compelled to flee from Italy because of killing a man. The witness replied negatively. Mr. Jones asked If he ever heard or read that Hoschlno had almost murdered a man In Dun more six or eight months ago who was talking about Hoschlno's wife. The witness read about the latter cir cumstance. Others Wbo Knew Him. WV J, Davis keeps a clothing store In Forest City and Hoschlno used to buy goods from lilm when he lived there. The witness found him always honest and never heard any unfavorable com ment on Roschino's character. Q. W. Wheeler Is employed to weigh empty cars at the Hillside Coal awl Iron com pany's colliery. Mr. Wheeler had a speech prepared and wanted to deliver It. lie Insisted on giving Hoschlno a i good character. James (1. Walker Is -bookkeeper for the Hillside Coal ami Iron company und has been for four years, lie had heard Hosohino's reputation discussed ill the coal office, but It was after the murder was committed. He did not know any thing about the murderer's repututlon for peace and quiet at Dunmore.. Constable J. II. Westcott, who ap prehended Hoschlno, was a witness for the commonwealth the day before, and he was re-called to give the prisoner a good character. Howard Johns, man ager of a store at Forest City, never heard aught in favor of Hoschlno's charaoler nor anything against I'.. Mich at J Havoso, another witness for the commonwealth, was re-called and ns far as he ever knew or heard Hos chlno was always regarded as a good citizen. Ho read In the newspapers about the murderous attack Hoschlno made six or seven months ago on Joseph Clanello at Dunmore, but he never heard that Hoschlno was obliged to dig out of Italy to escape the penalty of a murder he committed 'lliere. John I '.ni valin Will re-called and swore that Hoschlno bad to his knowledge been re garded as a peaceable and law-abiding citizen. "What Is your own reputation, John, as a peaceable and law-abiding cit izen?" asked District Attorney Jones; and the witness only grinned in reply. I'olvnno Didn't Know, Joseph I'.olvano gave (Uttering testi mony of Hoschlno's reputation. Mr. Jones asked him if ho knew whether or not the murderer had Jieen ill the habit of carrying a revolver or a stiletto. "Me. I ilunno," said Joseph. County Sur veyor A. H. Dunning, Jr., was called by the defense to explain certain features of the map of the ground where the murder was committed. Frank Ciprlano was called to tell what a go.nl man Hoschlno was always regarded us before he did the shooting. Michael i'letivllo was the lirst witness who was called to give testimony out side of that followed by the precedln;v witnesses. It was offered to prove by him that Sal va tore, when he went to Pictrello's house the night' of the murder, staled that Tony l inbriano and Joe l'.o:chino had niurdotvd Coiifortl. District Attor ney Jones objected and then Salvatore was called to the stand. Mr. Ward asked him: "Did you say to Pi et reiki on the night of the murder that the killing was done by Imbriauo and Hoschlno?" The witness answered, "1 do not remember having said that, I was trembling and I don't know whether 1 said that or not." l'ietrello wan then re-called and he sv.ore that when Salvutorl came to his house at 7 o'clock on the night of the murder he said that it was linbriano and Hoschitio who had killed Conforti. Pietrelli) did not hear any shots because he had gone to bed. Frank l'ietrello and Lucauo Costulonna were listening to Salvatori say that Imbriauo and Hoscliino had killed Conforti. Salvatori was cut on the linger and blood was running from It. Salvatori was shiver ing and terribly excited. At this point court adjourned. .MINOR COURT CASES. Two Defendants Admitted Their Guilt ond Others Went before Juries. The progress of the murder trial does nut appear to hamper the other cases on the list. James Holand came forward und pleaded guilty. Two indictments wore p-mllng against him. Constable Joseph Pool was prosecuting him for aggravated assault and. battery and resisting an officer in the execution of a legal process. In the lirst case L was sentenced to two months, and iu the hitter mu' month In the county jail In the other court room, before Judge Kd wards, the assault and battery case of Mrs. Lena Deckiluick against Hub ert Alexander was resumed. It was the ordinary stripe of a neighbors' quarrel and the jury found the defend ant not guilty, ordered Mrs. Deckllnick to pay two-thirds of the costs and the defendant one-third. I ynians in Trouble Again. If Michael Lyman or his wife, Mary, were not present at every term of criminal court us prosecutor, defend ant, or witness, the court calendar would not seem properly made up. They live at Austin Heights. Yester day Michael was put on trial on the charge of having committed nil as sault and battery upon Mrs. W. II. MeColluin, n neighbor. An unclean beast, a pig, was the primary cause of the trouble. The ani mal wns owned by the MeCollums and was In the habit of making matuti nal calls over In Lyman's bnclt yard. On one of these visits the pig returned with a broken leg. Mrs. McCollum's daughter went home and told her ma that Lyman was killing the pig, and when she went to see about It. Lyman assaulted her with his fists. The Jury found him not guilty and divided the C I s. H. T. Ilowells, the Ponn avenue dyer, had two cases against an employe, Fred K. Jenkins, whom he claims em bezzled money that he collected and was also guilty of larceny and receiv ing In going around to houses soliciting dress goods to be dyed and these he is charged with not returning to the dye house or the people from whom be col lected them. The prosecutor did not make out a case on either of the Indict ments and Judge Kd wards quashed both of them and withdrew them from the Jury. William Heady nnd John Hrogan were Jointly put on trial charged with stealing $1M from William Ward,' a hotel-keeper of Wlnton. The two de fendants boarded with Ward during the month of April, 18113, and one day they came home to dinner at 12 o'clock, a Utile earlier than1 their usual custom. After the menl they went upstairs and remained there until 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Then they came down, went out and disappeared. In the bureau drawer, resting peacefully, was a wnd of green backs amounting to the sum Hinted, ami by a coincidence the money left the same day as the boarders. Two months later, in August, the prosecutor and Patrolman D, J. Itoche went to Nnntlcoke, having hoard that Heady was boarding there. He wns arrested and confessed the then. At this point court adjourned. ENDEAVOR DAY WlCltVICLS. Will Do Conducted at Green Kidsa Pres byterian Church.
