LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
(Under this heading short letters of In
terest will bo published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. Tho Tribune will not bo hold re
appnslble for opinions here expressed.)
PROF. WILLIAMS REPLIES.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The following letter was refused
ndmlsslon to the columns of the Scranton
Truth, except as an advertisement:
Kindly allow me to correct another state
ment made by Professor K. K. Wood In
Thursday's Truth, In which he pretends
to anpwer my letter of the Jin Inst.
Ho has used quite a little space to prove
that I have taught In his school. There
was no necessity for that, because I did
not say that I did not teach there. What
I did say was that I did not come to Ha
fchool as a student, and that I did not re
ceive aid. Inspiration, spirit of enterprise,
etc., in his school, as he stated In Satur
day's Truth.
He claims that the notice given to me
was Intended to be entirely complimen
tary. If It was, why didn't he write the
notice as he Intended, Instead of giving till
who read the article to understand that
the little success I have Is due entirely to
Wood's college, for the purpose of glviiiK
his school a little "puff," when the truth
Is, I am under no obligation whatever to
it?
He has made another misstatement in
Tegard to what ho calls my letter of appli
cation. Professor Wood, personally, of
fered mo a position as a teacher of pen
manship in his school In the fall of 'ft.'. I
did not accept It then. Hut In January of
'93 when he repeated tho offer personally,
and made a special proposition, 1 accepted
it. I did not write one word to him from
the tlmo'he first offered me the posltton
until I accepted it the following January.
The only leter he has of mine Is one
written more than three years ago to him
In answer to an Inquiry he marie. A friend
wrote to tell me that Professor Wood had
asked about me and said that ho wantjd
a teacher of penmanship. I then wrote
that letter and told him I had work then,
but If he wanted a teacher of penmanship,
and we could make satisfactory arrange
ments, I would teach for him. I referred
him to Professor Znner as to my ability.
1 wrote that about November, 'HI. I had
been teaching then seven months, and It
was nbout fourteen months after then
that I accepted his proposition as stated
, above, making It then a period of nearly
wa years that I had been teaching before
1 came to his school, and yet ho uses that
letter to try to prove that I came to his
school or a student.
IE it did not tako so much space I would
like to correct a few other statements in
that "cord," which he knows are not true,
in that last paragraph, which I shall In
another Issue if It should become nec
essary. In conclusion, I advise him not to regret
that I missed the Joys Incident to student
life, because I enjoyed those as much on
anyone, but not as a pupil In Wood's
Business college. Respectfully,
O. W. Williams.

.Murder 'as Committed.
NEVER CARRIED A REVOLVER
His Tcstinnony Is Directly Opposed to
Whut Was Sworn to by the Witnesses
of the Commonwcuth-Thc Case Will
'ot Go to tho Jury I'ntil Tomorrow.
Murderer Boschlno realizes that his
life is most precious to him, and either
the witnesses of the commonwealth or
those of the defense are not telling tho
truth.
It has been widely commented upon
by those who have been present in court
from the beyinnin.i,' that this Is one of
the mo astounding murder trials in
the history of the courts of Lacka
wanna county.
First cinic the witnesses of the pros
ecution with their positive story that
Boschlno did tho killing and now the
limin witnesses of the defense are belnjt
heard and thpy swear that Hoschino
was at home when the shots wore fired
that are supposed to be the ones that
Confortl's body was the target for.
In arriving at Its verdict the Jury
will have no alternative but to be
lieve the testimony of the common
wealth's witnesses or rely on the verac
ity of those of the defense.
If the Jury Is convinced that the mur
der was committed by Hoschlno, no
other verdict than that of first degree
can consistently be rendered; on the
other hand should the witnesses of the
defense be belleved the verdict can
not be otherwise than. acquittal. Kvery
witness of the defense has rendered tes
timony that effectively establishes an
alibi.
When the trial was resumed Saturday
morning Kred Peliocelll was the first
witness called. Squire Scott, of nun-
more, summoned him as a Juror at the
coroner's Inquest. Coroner Kelley
thought that Petrocelo might be biased
and he rejected him. The witness told
what articles -were found in the pockets
of Confortl; those were an open pocket
iiili'"'. a pack of playing cards, and a
watch and chain. The point of the
blade of the knife was bent and DIs
ricL Attornry Jones exhibited the
weapon to tho jury and offered It In
evidence.
Mrs. Hoschlno Recalled.
Mrs. Hoschlno was then re-called to
'lie stand.. In her l'orim-r testimony she
swore that among others besides her
husband who wire In the house when
h" shots were tired, her 13-year-old
brother was there. District Attorney
Jones asked her why the boy had not
been brought forward to testify: she
said he Is sick and cannot leave home.
At 9.45 o'clock Hoschlno went upon
the stand. Judge tJunster Instructed
Attorney Horn to ask the defendant
some questions In English to see If he
could carry on his evidence In theAmer
Ican tongue. Boschlno did not prove
that We knew "enough of English to
speak to the jury and Interpreter Cas
seia was obliged to strain the story.
Boschlno was born In Italy 34 years
ago. Foreat City was his first abiding
place in this region, to which place
he came in 1SS4. He lived there seven
years and then moved to Dunmore.
After a year he moved back to Forest
City and last March he rented a house
In Bunker Hill.
On the afternoon of the date of the
murder of Confortl Boschlno said he
left his home at .'1 o'clock and went to
Lalli's hotel. There ho drank several
glasses of beer. Imbrlano, Confortl and
Salvatori came In while he was refresh
ing himeslf. Tho others went out be
fore he did and he started for home
three-quarters of an hour afterward.
The next place he met Confortl was
at the railroad bridge. The murdered
man was Ftanding there In company
with Imbrlano and Salvatori. He asked
thorn what they were walling for and
suggested that they ought to go home.
They walked along together nnd near
the foot bridge Confortl caught hold
of the defendant and playfully wrestled
with him. Both fell to the ground and
had a good laugh over their tumble.
Snlvntorl and Ills (inn.
Just then Salvatori whipped out a
revolver and pointed It at the defend
ant. 'Boschlno asked the reason for
such an action on the part of Salvatori,
wanted to know why he pointed the
revolver at him, and without waiting
for a reply he started home. Imbrla
no wanted him to wuit, but he did not.
The defendant swore that he had no
revolver or razor and did not fire any
shots at all.
When ho arrived at home he askod
his wife for a handkerchief to bind up
the wound on his leg, which, he said,
was caused by the toss ho received
in his fall on the bridge when
wrestling with Confortl. Boschl
no showed the scar to the Jury.
While his wife was dressing the wound
Boschlno heard two shots fired. Mora
y.i and Plntenello were In the house and
they went out. Three shots were after
ward llrd.
Boschino denied having killed Con
fortl and swore positively that he was
In the house when the shots were flrod.
But after the murder a crowd 'gathered
at his house and began to threaten ven
geance. At the suggestion of his wife
and the two men Boschino went out
by the backdoor and left for Carbon-

left home until the time of his capture
twelve days later.
Stuck to His Story.
District Attorney Jones conducted a
most searching cross-examination, but
was unable to make tho defendant
waver materially from tho statements
he made In his direct testimony. Hos
chlno stoutly contended that he hud no
quarrol with Confortl at any time,
either on the day of the murder. or be
fore It. He also swore that he never
owned, a revolver Blnce the time he
came t'o this country.
When the noon hour arrived District
Attorney Junes had not finished with
the witness.. The cross-examination
was resumed In Jhe afternoon. Daniel
J. Moriarlty, of the Times, was sworn.
He told a,. "Mt an Interview he had with
Antonio linb.'uno In the Dunmore lock
up. Imbrlano und Salvatori were In
different cells. Imbrlano told Mr. Mori
aiity that they were confined on ac
count of the murder of a man named
Frank Confortl. Imbrlano said It was
Hocco Salvatori who killed Confortl.
Frank Pomono testified that John
Miranno told him that it was so dark
the night of the murder that he could
not identify the man who fired the
shots. 'Squire ltobert Scott was re
called and he swore that the knife he
took from Confortl's pocket was open.
Never Owned u K'cvolvcr.
District Attorney Jones recalled Bos
chlno for the purpose of asking him if
he ever owned a revolver In this coun
try. Boschino said he never had a re
volver In his possession except n part
of a day and then It was loaned to him
by Antonio Imbrlano.
ltaphael Tredcscall and Gabriel
Brignaiino were character witnesses.
Policeman John O'llara, of Dunmore,
swore that he arrested Imbrlano and
Salvatro, sure that they were the mur
derers; he made no attempt to arrest
Boschlno, but there were other ollicors
after the defendant.
The case will be resumed this morn
ing.

The limit In vapid farce comedy has
been reached In "A Baggage Check,"
which was produced at the Academy of

well have been called the "Oazook," so
far as any relevancy between farce
and title came hi. It was written by
the author of "A ltallroad Ticket," and
much of the business brings the latter
comedy forcibly to mind.
Mark Sullivan and several young wo

and Injected considerable life and vim
Into the commonplace lines of the au

Kcgtmcnt-Othcr Notes.
The Philadelphia papers have been
paying their respects to Colonel Edward
Morrell, lately in command of the Third
regiment, but Who Is now, by appoint
ment of Governor Hastings, Inspector
general of the National Guard of Penn
sylvania. We desire to join our praises with
those of the Third regiment and others
throughout the state, and would com
mend Governor Hastings for the wis
dom displayed In his choice for this
most Important staff position. With
all due respect for our late Inspector
general, who has been zealous and
faithful to the needs of this depart
ment, there Is still room for Improve
nient, and much of It.
The present system of rating the
guards' etllciency by companies, regi
ments and brigades Is simply discour
aging, especially ns to that part of It
that hears on rifle practice. The Thir
teenth regiment, for Instance, has never
ntood lower than second, and, until
ufter last fall's inspection at Gettys
burg the regiment had for many suc
cessive years occupied llrst place among
regiments; and Company A, of the same j
regiment, the llrst place among the 3!5
organizations, Including infantry, artil
lery, cavalry and naval militia. On
Dec. 21 special dispatches were pub
lished all over the state and great
spreads were made by all the Philadel
phia papers from mutter furnished,
probably, by the department at llurrls
burg. Figuring for tho Ouukers.
Those hard worklugclerks down there
had been working day and night to
extract from the foutlngs enough to
make a spread for the thirsty Quakers,
and a special effort was made toward
the completion of Adjutant General
Greenland's yearly report, because of
changes In the department that were
to be made after Governor Hastlng's
inauguration. We wondered much,
yes, very much, at the figures pub
lished last December, but said little.
The complete report has been published
and copies of It reached here ten days
ago. Since then our boys have been
looking for "short circuits" In the In
numerable array of figures. What has
been found by careful research could
not possibly be comprehended by a
Quaker guardsman. The less said about
It the better.
When over seventy men of one com
pany are reported qtialllled marksmen,
with but sixty-three ns the maximum
number allowed each company on the
Inspection roll, said company appearing
to have less even than fifty-five at the
time of inspection well! the figures
are called those of efficiency. There is
a pointer In the above for company of
ficers. It appears that no notice was taken
of the average given to the companies
from last spt lug's Inspection, when the
regiment and also Company A led nil
others In tile state, nor even to the
total, that would show as follows: Com
pany A, Thirteenth regiment, 194.96;
CotnpanyD, Thirteenth regiment, 191.77;
Company C, Thirteenth regiment, 193.75;
Company F, First regiment, 194.92;
Company H, First regiment, 194.2.1.
These discrepancies cost much to the
regimental ratings, and if our captains
had done as others of our sister regi
ments have done the Thirteenth would
be in its old place today Instead of sec
ond to the Quaker men.
