SEW TRIAL FOR R0YCE.
Trouble That u Former Scruntun Lawyer
I ell Into in Sun I'runclscu- Uiven Seven
Ycurs in the Penitentiary.
Colonel O. K. K. Uoyee, formerly a
prominent Scruntun citizen ami lawyer,
Is to have a second trial In S:m Fran
cisco for embezzling Ainds of the Vet
erans' Home iissociutlon. A former
conviction und a sentence of seven
years In the penitentiary at San yuen
tin has been set aside by the supreme
court.
It was about fifteen years ago that
Colonel Koyce left this city under u
cloud. He had been short in his ac
counts as treasurer of the school board,
but made good the Ueileit by selling his
property. While in Scruntun he lived
on Wyoming avenue, and represented
the old Eighth ward in the school
board. He took a prominent part in the
stirring events that market! the history
of the school board about that time.
Mrs. Koyce and their son went west
with Colonel Koyce.'
It was reported In Scranton that the
son committed suicide when his father
was arrested for the embezzlement In
San Francisco. The family came to
Scranton from the east and it Is not
known that they have relations here
now. Colonel Koyce, at one time, had
a lucrative law practice here.
The story of the charges, arrest and
trial is told in the following excerpt
from the San Farncisco Chronicle:
M hen He lull from Grace.
It was some two years ago that the
general public . learned for tho first
time that Koyce was not the high
minded lawyer and exemplary citizen
they had Imagined. One morning Col
lonel Koyce was found in a room In the
Burlington House, on Market street,
with a mysterious wound in ills head,
from the effects of which he was un
conscious. It was Immediately sup
posed that Koyce had been the victim
of some unknown assailant. So high
was Royee's standing In the communi
ty that no one thought of such a thing
as suicide until finally the details of the
mystery began to be unraveled. It
soon became certain that the wound
on Royee's head was a pistol wound
and circumstances developed to Indi
cated that the wound was self-inflicted.
Next came a meeting of the Veterans'
Home association, at which the
startling discovery was made that the
association's trusted treasurer was
short In his accounts to the amount of
between $17,00 Oand $18,000. The trial
of Colonel Koyce took place something
ever a year ago.
Sentence of Seven Years
Royce was convicted. Judge Seawell
In due time passed a sentence of seven
years' Imprisonment In San Quentin.
An appeal was taken and the granting
of a certlfloate of probable cause has
enabled Royce to remain in the county
Jail while awaiting the decision of the
supreme court.
It was shown on the trial that In Feb
ruary. l'J.i. itoyce receiveu ror me asso
ciation $10,350, which amount he de
posited to the credit of his pergonal ac
count In the Crocker-Woolworth bank.
He afterwards paid to the association
$S,310.35. It was for embezzling the bal
ance of $2,050 that he was arrested.
TIIE SNOW-FLAKE.
Dedicated to tho Florence Mission.
For The Tribune.
The slowlv falllnlr beautiful snow
From Its heav'nly birthplace's golden
glow
Down to the sin-blurred earth below,
First falling gently with Infinite grace
Then by a hurricane driven apace
Sad omglem of "Purity lout In disgrace,"
Leaving Its home In the beautiful sky
Falls to the sin-cursed earth to die,
There under-foot In the blackened mire,
Lies tho once-pure snow-flake born co
much higher.
But who gives a thought to what It has
been,
Trodden, despised, und Jeered at by men?
Crushed to the earth and its purity lost!
U snow-flake! had you but have counted
the cost!
Falling, falling, moro and more.
On the childish form by the close shut
door,
Robing In garments of silvery white.
The naked, shivering child tonight.
As If In pity (the wind howls past)
To Bhelter the. child from the wintry blast,
Say. will the good deeds done below
By those whose garments are not like
snow
Come up to Ood's bar to plead for them,
Those made what they are by the sins of
men?
Falling fast, the pure white snow
Giving to white cheeks a ruddier glow,
And to happy hearts a cheer to know
That they ore sheltered fro,m tempuHt and
snow. y
Qod made the snow-flake, and said at Its
blrth-
"Oo thou, now, forth on a mission to
earth-
Say to those sin-trodden souls In the mire,
Lift up thine eyes, for there Is something
higher. .
"See, tho' I die, when my message bo
given.
I am kissed by the bright golden bud bask
. to lleav n."
So If with longing thou lookost above,
The Father will draw thee, with infinite
love.
There by the crucified blood that doth flow
Tnou snail be purineu made white us
snow." Leah

THE RIGHTS OF TRAMPS.
Judgo Clayton Dcsidcs That He May Not
lie Killed.
Media, Ta., March 12. The question
of how much a tramp's life is worth
came up in court here today, and
Judge Clayton bobbed up as a chain
pion of the knight of the road. Sam
uel .Ballard, a colored man, was sen
tenced to three months In jail for shoot
Ing a tramp. He met tho tramp In the
road and wanted to know why he didn't
go to work. The latter asked Dalian)
why he didn't go to work, and Ballard
said he was working. The tramp then
said Ballard ought to be satislled. Bal
lard drew his pistol and shot the tramp
through the arm. Attorney .A. 11
Oeary, who defended Ballard, laid
greut stress on the point that the de
fendant was only a tramp.
Judge Clayton said that as useless as
the tramp may be in the world, still he
had some rights. The law had not
gone so far as to authorize people to
kill him. He was not an animal. Bui
lard was guilty of at least one count In
the indictment, that of assault.
