HER EVIDENCE CORROBORATED She Says Ho Was at Uotne five Minutes Before tha Fatal Shots Wore Fired. The Storm Interfered with Presence of Witnesses for the Defense. Storms eometlmes cause tho- ma chinery of the law to cease for a time nnd that was the case yesterday In the liuschlno murder trlnl on account of the non-appoaranco of storm beaten wit nesses for tho defense. Frank rietrello wus the first witness on the stand In the morning. Rocco SalvatoH euld in his presence that tho murder of Frank Confortl was commit ted by Joseph Boschlno and Antonio Imbriano. Salvatorl wanted the wit ness to go for the Dunmore police for the purpose of having the two men ar rested for their crime; but the witness thought it was none of his business, rietrello took County Surveyor Dun nlng's map of 'the ground where the murder was done nnd he pointed out relatively itho positions of Salvatorl's and Confortl's houses. Charles K Daniels, of the Truth, was sworn In connection with an Interview ho had with Imbriano In the Dunmore station house the morning after the murder. The substance of the Inter view was as follows: Imbriano said that on tho night of the murder, in com pany with Confortl, he was on his way home and they parted at the path on the wagon road. Having gone a short distance after leaving Confortl Im briano heard a shot and was startled but he did not stop to investigate. When he got home the news of the murder had preceded him nnd his wife told him that Boschlno had murdered Confortl. District Attorney Jones cross-examined Mr. Daniels. The next witness was Frank Rossi, nn excitable man and very impassioned in his speech. As he spoke 'to the interpreter his coal black eyes shot out flashes of fire and his gesticulations were quick and his speech rapid. Rocco Salvatorl came to his house on the evening of the murder about 6.30 o'clock and informed him that Confortl had been killed. "Telia me who kllla Confortl or me kllla you," said Rossi to Salvatorl. Then the latter told that the murder of Confortl had been done by Joseph Boschlno and Antonio Imbriano, both equally guilty. . . Storm Obstructed Justice. Frank Pictrello was re-called to tell about whom he Baw search the clothes of Confortl as he laid murdered on the road. Squire Robert Scott, the witness said, was the Individual who performed the act. Another witness was called and a funny looking, Rip Van Winkle like chap mado his appearance, but he was not the right man. The attorneys for the defense stated to Judge Gunster that no more of their witnesses were present, their absence being due, no douUt, to the severity of the storm. Mr. Horn asked the court to adjourn until the afternoon, promising that the witnesses would be on hand then. And the attorneys for the defense also prom ised to work during the recess upon the preparation of law points. It was along toward 10.30 o'clock and court adjourned till 1.30 p. m. Domlnloo Morazl was called to the witness box when the case was resumed In tho afternon. He was put through u rigid cross-questioning by District Attorney Jones as to his recollection of what Rocco Salvatorl said to him on the evening of the murder. Salvatorl made It his business, it appears, to go around on that evening telling that Confortl was murdered by Boschlno and Imbriano. Morazl heard Salvatorl use such an expression and with hard work the district attorney got him to swear positively that Salvatorl said so. Mr Jones finally gat the witness to swear that Salvatorl made that statement in his hearing. There was a hushed murmur In tha court room when Attorney Horn cnllcd out the name of Mrs. Jennie Boschlno. The wife who has sat at her husband's side all through tho trial then went on the stand to give evidence. She was married five years ago to Boschlno and Is the mother of two children; hpr mother lives with her at Bunker Hill and helps to take enre of the children. She remembered well the night on which Confortl was murdered. Doml nlco Morazl, the preceding witness, and a man named Alexandra PIntenello came to visit her on Sunday afternoon They remained between the hours of 4 and 8 p. m. Her husband did not come home until a few minutes after C o'clock, and these men were In the house, tier Husband Wounded. When he came In ho showed them a wound on his leg and blood was running from It. She got a handkerchief and wiped the blood away. While she was dressing the wound she heard two shots; the two men went to the door to see what was the matter and they walked off down the path toward the wagon road. Then she heard three more shots und ten minutes later Mor ass I nnd PIntenello came back. They told her husband that a large crowd wus gathered outside and they were saying that Boschlno and Imbriano had killed Confortl. Boschlno wns advised to betake himself to flight, as It meant danger for him to remain in tho face of tho angry mob that was growing more violent outsldo of the house. Boschlno answered : "No. sir; I did not kill him and I don't want to go." But he was persuaded to go, and ho left by way of the back door. Mrs. Boschlno remembered the county detectives' visit to her house and his ntfklng for a picture of her husband She did not tell the detective that she did not know where her husband then was. District Attorney Jones then asked Mrs. Boschlno this question: "If your husband was In the house at tho time the shots were fired, why do you suppose that the crowd was after your husband?" The crowd was noisy and from what the two men In the house had said she feared that harm would come to her husband, and ho advised him to go for a few days. At her urgent solicitation her husband left In a hurry and did not even, bid his family good-bye. He went out the back door, disappeared in the darkness and then she locked all the doors on the house. Morazl and PIntenello remained at her house until 8 o'clock and left, but not before the crowd outside had dis persed. tier Story Corroborated. Alexander PIntenello took the stand. "Aleck, where do you live?" asked Mr, Horn, "In Hydo Park," was his an swer. The witness described all the de tails of the happenings at Uoschlno's house on the Sunday ot the murder be tween the hours ot 4 and 8 p. m. His story was corroborative of what Mrs, Boschlno hud testified to. Boschlno, he said, came home that evening about five minutes after 6 o'clock. He had blood on his knee and his wife got cloth to bandage it. While she was en gaged In wiping away tho blood two re ports of a revolver were heard. The witness and Morazl went outside and as soon as they had proceeded a few yards from tho door, three other pistol shots rang out upon the chill Novem ber air. The witness was superlatively positive that Boschlno had reached his homo and was in his own house, his wife bundaglng his knee, five minutes, at least, before the first reports of tha pistol were heard. The witness and (Morazl, his com panion, did not go as far as the spot where tho shots were presumed to come from, although ' they started In that direction and meant to go there; but on the way down the path they heard loud curses and shoutB and they knew that an excited mob was coming toward them. The crowd, In which there might have beoni anywhere from a dozen or fifteen persons, was threat ening vengeance on Boschlno. The witness and his friend hastily re turned to Bosehlno's house and told him of his peril. They advised him to skip, which he did after a little parley ing. Boschlno went out tho back door and after that Mrs. Boschlno locked all the doors of the house. Boschlno did nut want to go, saying IJiat he had done nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Jones, upon cross-examination, rattled the witness, who sometimes was ready to swear to almost anything. Hint Statement of Miranno. Vlncenzo Malozzt was the next. His testimony was brief and related to a supposed statement made by John Miranno. The witness was asked if he heard Miranno say that he (Miran no) saw a man lire two shots Into the bushes where Confortl's body was found, and If he did not recognize that man as Boschlno. The witness was not clear on that point. Stenographer John Tuylor was sworn; he took stenogra phic notes of a conversation carried on by Miranno in Justice of the Peace Scott's oflice, in Dunmore, on Dec. SO. He did not make a full text ot what was said by Miranno. Glavanno Dl Paolo was the lust witness for the day and his testimony was in relation to the hackneyed statement made by Salva- tori, fastening the murder on Boschlno and Imbriano. Attorney Horn stated to a Tribune re porter that the defense will close Its case today and rest. T.he arguments of counsel and the charge of Judge Gun ster will be made on Monday, and will probably take up the entire day, TRYING LESSER OFFENSES. Ssvcral Cases Disposed of Before Judges Gunster and Kdwards. Several smaller crimes were called to account yesterday In the courts. Dur ing the recess of the murder case In the main court room William H. Moran was called before Judge Gunster. Mr, Moran's case Is a pitiable one. He was employed as a cigar agent by W. H. Shoop and Jntrusted with the responsl bllity of making collections. From time to time covering a period of two years he fell Into the habit of using small amounts, of his employer's money, and in that way he became an embezzler in the sum of about $150. He was not a spendthrift, on the con trary he Is said to have used his money to support his wife and family. He de luded himself into the belief that he would be able to repay the money with out being discovered. He plead guilty and ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Kelly made an eloquent plea for Judicial clemency. Judge Gunster sentenced Mr. Moran to a fine of $1. costs, restitution of the money embezzled and three months in the county Jail. The case of Arthur Frothlngham against John R. Reese, on the charge of destroying show bills, was called be fore Judge Gunster and a. jury sworn The prosecutor did not appear and by the direction of the court the costs were placed upon him and a verdict of not guilty taken. Ilcforejudgo Kdwards. Judge Edwards, presiding In No. 2, resumed the trial of William Ready and John Brogan, who robbed Hotel Keeper Ward, of Wlnton. Two cases were against them; one for stealing $150 from Mr. Ward, and one for stealing a gold watch worth $5, and $3.75 In cash from the clothes of another boarder, Patrick McKenna. They offered no defence and the Jury brought in verdicts of guilty In both Instances. Brogan was found guilty of larceny in each cuse, and Ready of receiving. Two enterprising young chicken thieves from Newton, Charles Searles and John Vundusand, had no counsel to defend them when their case was culled. They, verily, reached the con clusion that no lawyer could save them and it would only be a waste of money to procure legal services. Tho defendants started out as whole sale chicken thieves; they bought a team of horses and a covered wagon and made nocturnal calls at the chick- erles of the farmers up the country. The finger of suspicion pointed to them and in a very novel manner they were captured. A blacksmith of Newton nailed a peculiarly shaped shoe on the hind foot of one of the horses. One dark night a visit was made to the hen nery of George Barton, of Newton, and every feathered inhabitant of the roost wus purloined. Tho I'lun Was Successful. The next morning Mr. Barton noticed the Imprints of the telltale shoe at a suggestive proximity to his looted chicken coop. He drove to Scranton and learned that the young men had disposed ot a wagon loud of poultry In this city and he identified some of the birds as his own. The defendants had no defense to amount to a grain of chaff and the Jury returned with a verdict of guilty. The last case for the week was next called, that of the commonwealth against Constable J. S. Miller, of the Eighth ward. George S. Brock was the prosecutor, Mr. Brock had dealings with Saloon-keeper K. J. Fallon, of Old Forge, amounting to $41. He se cured a Judgment before Alderman C. M. Doling and placed the paper in Constable Miller's hands for collection Miller collected the money, but he re fused to turn It over to Brock, hence the suit. The defense was that Brock owned the defendant more than $41 and that he agreed Miller should keep the amount of the judgment and give him credit on his account. Judge Edwards placed the case In the Jury's hands at adiournment. All other cases on the list, having been tried, settled, or con tlnued, the Jurors not engaged In the murder trial and the one Just men tioned were discharged from further attendance at this term of court. This Jury will return its verdict this morn Turkish and Russian Baths for Ladles.

Storm King Holds City Efforts Hade During Day To Loosen His Paralyzing Grip. THEY WERE PRACTICALLY FAILURES Street Car Traffic on All the Lines in the City Was Abandoned Last . Night Steam Roads Badly Hampered Great Dam age in all Directions. Yesterday's blizzard caused more damage and was more severe than any snow storm which has visited this city or section since the memorable nnd dis astrous hurricane of March, 1SS8. And In some respects the recent storm Is more severe than that of seven years ago It is greater In wind, temperature and area. Only in quantity of snow did the 1888 storm exceed the present one. In and adjacent to this city the bliz zard has caused a financial loss of hun dreds of thousands of dollars which cannot even be approximately estimat ed for several days. 'Business has been completely prostrated, the street car lines, have been tied up and railroad travl has been undisputably demoral ized. At midnight last night the Indications were that the storm had spent Its fury, nnd unless more snow falls the rail roads will today resume schedule time, It is not probable that the street cars will run with any degree of regularity until at least this afternoon. At G o'clock last night the Traction company management gave orders to abandon all efforts to keep its lines open. The big electric sweepers were Housed and instructions given to em. ployes to report for duty at 6 o'clock this morning. A concentrated effort will then be made to clear the tracks. All of yesterday attempts were made to run cars, but without success. Wind t'ndid tho Work. As rapidly as a portion of a line was cleaned tho wind and snow combined to prove the work fruitless and all that was accomplished! was 'to keep the West Side line to Main avenue open for a few hours in tho afternoon. At pres ent four cars are stalled on the Laurel Hill line, three on the Moosic line and as many between Market street and Peckvllle. On the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road no attempt was made to run local trains. A small army of men was pressed into service on the Pocono and north of the city In hopes that some sort of passenger and through freight service might be maintained. The work of the 400 or 500 men might as well have been directed against a tornado. From 3 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the road for twen ty-nve miles south of this city was com pletely blocked. The drifts on the Pocono ranged in depth from a fow feet to the height of ine smokestacks of the engines. Several huge ploughs pushed by two engines each and numerous gangs of shovelers distributed along succeeded in making the road passable last evening only be cause the wind abated. As many as twenty men suffered from frozen fingers, toes or ears, and were treated by physicians in the small towns south of the city. About 2.30 o'clock In the afternoon the New York mall train due here at o'clock yesterday morning pulled Into the Lackawanna depot twelve hours late. The engine was a purling study in bluck and white and bore about us much semblance to a cowshed as to u fast locomotive. The train had been seventeen hours In making the trip from New York which ordinarily occu pies but five hours. The backbone of the blockade, however, had been broken und up to an early hour this morning nil through trains from the east arrived from three to six hours late. Passenger Trains Delayed. The train due here ut 8.50 o'clock and which left New York at 4.15 In the after noon arrived at 10.20. North of Scranton the trouble was not so great, although all trains were four or live hours overdue. Orders were given during the day to hold all local freight and coal trains north and south, Only passenger and through freights were allowed to leave the city, and the ticket agent 'notified all purchasers that the company would not be responsible for distance or time. At 8 o'clock last evening General Man ager Hallstead gave orders to hold in the Scranton yards sixteen carloads of live stock consigned to New York. At that hour the probabilities wore that the train would be unable to get over the Pocono within five or six hours, and rather than expose the stock to the mercies of tha gale at such a high alti tude the company preferred to keep the cars in the Scranton yards. It was reported by railroad employes at 10 o'clock that several heads of the stock had succumbed to the storm and had laid down to die or be trampled to death by their fellows. The train was started cast Bhortly before midnight but it Is probable that not a few will freeze to death before Hoboken is reached. Until midnight the Delaware and Hudson com puny sold tickets only be tween Wilkes-Barre and Carbondale. Beyond these points travelers had to take chances on trains which arrived and left this city from ono to three hours late. A special dispatch to The Tribune from Honosdole last night said "All railroads out of Honesdale blocked TO CUT 25c. to 28c. Per lb. 25 Cases Fancy Califor nia 3-Ib. Apricots, 15c. per can Columbia River Salmon, 1 5c; $1.50 per doz. Fancy flat cans, 20c; $2.25 per doz. Bargains on Canned Corn, Fancy Peas and Stringless String Beans. E G. Coursen 429 UCKAWANNA AVENUE. Ill BUTTER no trains have arrived and none have left here today." On the Other Roads. On the Jersey Central road the condi tions were much the same. Outgoing trains left for Wilkes-Barre only, with the exception of the noon "flyer" for New York, which left with the Intention ot getting through if possible. All in coming local trains arrived Beveral hours late, and It was not until even ing that passengers who left New York a 6 o'clock a. ni. reached the city. The Erie and Wyoming Valley train whlcl left this city at 6.35 a. m. did not reach Hawley until 6 o'clock last night. During the day tratlic was abandoned and nn effort made only to clear the tracks. Only two deliveries of outside mails were made by the postal carriers dur ing the day. The first New York mail since Thursday night arrived at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. From the north and west, however, local mails were received Irregularly during the afternoon. An attempt was made during the morning to bury Thomas Monahan, of Eynon street, In the Hyde Park Catho lic cemetery. It was found that tho road leading to the cemetery was Im passable, und the body had to be taken to the morgue of Undertaker Wymbs. Few of the large manufacturing plants or mines succeeded in conduct ing operations. At the North works of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany work had to be suspended on ac count of frozen water pipes. The South works kept operating, but the snow was much of a hamper. None of the mines on the South Side atcmpted at all to operate. The outside tracks were so deeply covered with snow that the cars could not be run. Very few persons living In Buburban sections attempted to reach the central city. Provlde-nce and Green Ridge resi dents took advantage of the local Dela ware and Hudson trains, und six thous and passengers were transported on the steam cars to and from those sec tions. During the later hours of the afternoon and In the evening sleighs ran to the North End, carrying passen gers at 25 cents per head. A police order was issued from head quarters at noon yesterday to all pa trolman to don woolen caps in place of helmets. The caps were furnished by the department and proved a very acceptable change. In the past four days sevsral patrolmen have suffered frost bites. At midnight several thermometers In the business section registered from to 4 degrees below zero. The Indica tions received at that hour for today were: "Fair; westerly winds, dimin ishing." KIRMESS COMPLIMENTED. Extra Performance to Do Given Monday Sight in Which tho Children Will Par ticipate Net Proceeds Will Reach $7,000. Many persons braved the storm yes- ter afternoon, and evening and attended the Klrmess performances at the Frothlngham. A fair-sized audience attended the matinee, and In the, even ing the house was comfortably filled. President Dickson, ot tho Lacka wanna hospital directorate, announced that the Klrmess dances will be given Monday evening, when the curtain will rise at 7.30 o'clock. The dancers will Include the children who have hereto fore appeared only at the matinees. The snile of seats opens this morning at fitelle's music store. Yesterday afternoon an extra solo dance wus given by tho little daughter of Ben Pratt. The winsome little lady did some Intricate measures very cleverly and' won generous applause from the delighted audience. The spe cial event of last evening was the skirt dance by Miss liolln. After tho expenses of the Klrmess are paid and tonight's performance has ended, It is estimated that the profits will have reached $7,000, and but for the cold and snow which featured the weather during the week the net pro ceeds would have been nearly $10,000. The proceeds will be devoted to the benefit of that popular beneficiary, the Lackawanna hospital. The prollts will be further Increased by the performance of Monday -night.
