AGREED TO VISIT HIS AUNTIE
Evldcnco of tho Commonwealth All la at
Tunkhannock-l'rcd Wall on the
Witness Stand-Ills Account '
of tho Evening.
Special to the Bcranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock. April 12. W. H. Rich
mond still on the stand. The greatest
pu. i of he conversation with Fred
Wall (In which the confession of mur
der was made) was held while we were
going down to LaU range. It began be
tween the Montrose railroad crossing
and the covered bridge. I told him the
story of the robbing and killing of the
shoemaker at Providence, H. I., after
1 had asked him to prove himself If I
wis to take him In as partner.
Attorney for defendant: "When you
arrested Fred Wall you made Informa
tion charging him with the murder of
Wu.terman, didn't you?"
"Yes sir."
"When you arrested Bert Pratt you
also charged htm with committing the
murder?"
"I said he was Implicated In It."
"You also arrested Irvln Wegtcott, a
nephew of the deceased, and made In
formation that he committed the mur
der, didn't you?"
"I said he was implicated."
A squabble here ensued between the
counsel as to the admission of evidence
from a witness who had charged more
than one person with the same crime.
The Judge ruled that there was noth
ing inconsistent In the information
made in this case.
Witness: "I had a written state
ment of the confession made by Wall
when I visited Hlnkley's at Nicholson.
Think I left that on the table there
along with some other papers, which I
forgot. 1 wasn't drunk. 1 did take a
hired girl from here In town with me
up there once when I went. I am a
married man. She wasn't a detective.
(These In answer to cross-examination.)
I brought Hert Pratt here about 12
o'clock at night. I or the turnkey took
him down town the next day. I did not
offer him a part of the reward If he
would put It onto Fred Wall. I told
him that if he had anything to do with
the murder and would turn state's evi
dence I thought It go easier with hlm
I saw Mrs. Bldleman at Dr. Deiilsun's
I didn't sjy anything about dropping
the proceedings If she would pay me
a certain sum of money and go to Cali
fornia. I told her I didn't have any
hard feelings toward them, but I
thought they looked down on me. There
might have been something said about
money. I wanted to see what they
would say. Thought they all looked
down on me. I did see Dr. Bldleman
at the Stevens House. Heard he wanted
to see me, and I went there and called
him out, because I wantd to know what
he wanted of me. He wanted to settle.
Did ray I would meet him next day,
because there was something said
about making marks to see what I
would take to stop proceedings. Did
not make a proposition that If he would
pay me a certain sum I would go to
California to see an aunt. There was
a certain party came to me and want
ed to know what I would take to go
away. Said Dr. Bldleman wanted to
know. Said he would mark and I
could mark. I made some figures In a
joke and handed them to him. The
man was Mr. Deubler, engineer on the
Montrose road. The man who sent him
was Dr. Avery. He didn't want to
come himself. Don't know If Dr. Bl
dleman wanted them to come. I said
something about Its being a state's
prison job, but suggested how It might
be done If they wanted it done. Think
I told Mr. Duebler that I could get
$1,300 for convicting Wall 500 from the
county, $500 from the family, and $300
from a sister of Waterman; might have
said so, don't remember. Didn't say
anything about leaving the country If
they would pay me money.
William Waterman recalled Counsel
for defendant You spoke In your form
er testimony of C. W. Waterman offer
ing you some money near the coal
office. Was Bert Pratt or Fred Wall
present? Answer I didn't see them. I
saw Dr. Bldleman examine my broth
er's body after It was found by the coal
chutes.
I. E. Wescott recalled and testified
to the examination by Dr. Bldleman.
Thought he took hold of the vest and
pulled It back, but didn't know as he
unbuttoned it.
Thomas M. Harding Just south of
the coal chutes are two railroad tracks,
the Montrose and Lehigh Valley tracks.
These tracks are quite a public thor
oughfare, a short cut to the depot.
Wagons cannot go that way. .
C. N. Crawford There is a sort of
undertle on the embankment of the
trestling, running out near the edge of
the wall. On the top of the wall are
stones with broken Irregular edges. It
Is 7 feet 11, Inches from the ground up
to the Iron rails at a point where the
body lay.
O. S. Mills recalled There Is a stick
of timber sticking out on top of the wall
or filling, but It Is nearly embedded In
the ground.
Commonwealth .rests at 11.25.
Friday Afternoon.
James W. Piatt opened for the de
fense by addressing the Jury. He en
deavored to discount the Impression
made by the commonwealth that a
murder had been committed, and was
not sparing In his denunciation of some
of the witnesses.
The theory of the defense Is that
Waterman accidentally fell off the em
bankment and was killed.
Dr. B. E. Bldleman Fred Wall Is my
brother-in-law. Was called out on the
night of January 8, 1894, to go over to
Gearhart's coal chutes, where I found
the body 'of Wash Waterman. (Des
cribes position of body.) Saw wound
on temple, felt of pulse and found It
still, then opened eye and felt of the
covering of the pupil to see If there was
any sensitiveness; found none; then put
my hand down Inside his vest to see If
the heart was beating; It was not, and
after feeling to see If there was any
warmth In the body, told Mr. Pratt
and William . Waterman, who were
standing by, that he was dead. (The
description of the autopsy agreed with
that of former witnesses.) In my
opinion the wound on the temple could
have been produced by a fall from the
trestling. I was called before the coro
ner's jury the next .day after the find
ing of the body. I didn't know then
that they suspected Fred. I heard of It
shortly after. Saw, Fred every day,
right along. He wore" the same clothes
that he had worn. - My wife told him
that he was dirty and had better clean
himself up a little and put on' some
clean clothes. : I suld, "Fred, they sus
picion you and It wouldn't look Well for
you to go and' change your clothes
now." He took thy advice for once and
wore the same clothes right along. Re'

Nervousness, That Tired Feel
InJOOdl
Makes Pure Blood
That is why the Cures by Hood's
Sursuparilla aro permanent. They do
not rest upon tho insecure support of
temporary stimulant, opiuto or nerve a
compound, but upon the solid founda
tion of vitalized, enriched and purified
blood. Iteud this:
Yhe cure of Olive Carl by Hood's
Sarsaparilla has few equals lu medical
history. The testimonial was first
published two years ago, and a lute
letter from her mother says Olive con
tinues in good health aud " We are
satislled her remarkable . cure by
Hood's Sarsaparilla was pennunont."
Briefly stated the case was this: " When
akes
Olive was 8 years old she had the whoop
ing cough and measles, followed by in
tense pains in every Joint in her body,
like rheumatism. Physicians were puz
zled, but after a consultation, pronounced
the disease some form of
. Constitutional Scrofula.
" When we began to use Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, she could not be moved without
crying out with pain, and we were com-
ferlng to the meeting with Richmond
at the Stevens house, the witness said:
"He called me into the back room and
said he wanted to see me. Began talk
ing something about ' a close mouth
catches no flies," nodding and winking
at the same time. I said "What do you
want? Do you want me to buy you?"
He said, "Well. If we could think alike
I might go to California to see an aunt
and forget to come back." I told him
if he wanted me to buy him he must
fix a price. He went on to say that this
thing had cost him about J2U0, and when
this was done It was all gone. He
asked me to send a man around next
morning and he would mark and the
man might mark, and they would fix
a price that way. told him I would
consider It.' I want to say, though, that
I didn't send the man around.
The question was asked the witness
If he did not at the coroner's Inquest
state that it was his opinion that the
fatal wound was produced by a blunt
Instrument giving a downward blow.
He endeavored to qualify It by adding
"or a fall," but the commonwealth
pinned him down to the original state
ment. He thought not, and persisted
that the question was put to1 him In
different form at that time. '
Fred Wall, defendant Am 24 years
old. Was born In Tunkhannock bor
ough. Was working for Mr. Stevens In
January, 1894, driving team and taking
care of the horses. Saw Bert Pratt at
Stevens house on the morning of Jan. 8.
He came there with a mule team. He
was there In the evening with his
brother. Alva. Alva was drunk, and
we put him In the barn. This was
about 7 o'clock. About 9 o'clock Bert
Pratt and I went over to the Wyoming
house for a dish of oysters. ' Tom wasn't
In, and we went up to the Keeler house.
Took a drink and staid there Ave or ten
minutes; went up to Warren street ho
tel and took a drink there. - Went from
there to 'Miss Caskey's and called for
oysters. She stewed them and we were
there about three-quarters of an hour.
Had been drinking considerable beer
and went out several times to throw up.
Went back down to Warren street ho
tel, then to Tom Harding's. Tom was
In, and we asked for oysters. He
didn't have any and we went back to
Stevens house and got Alva up and
brought him into the house. Put him
to bed In twenty or twenty-five minutes.
I slept In a bedroom In the barn. Wa
terman came Into the hotel late In the
evening. I was sitting In the front
room, and he went Into the bar room.
He went out again shortly. Witness
denies the testimony of Abram Ide and
Nina Shook. Claimed that at the time
he spoke about washing his hands at
S. J. Heating's that he had been help
ing Steve to bury a horse. Said that he
had nothing to do with the killing of
Waterman, and Richmond lied about It.
Richmond never had the conversation
with him alleged to have taken place

ness asked what. He said, "Tou had
better go down before the district at

give you $100 in cash if you will."
In the cross-examination the witness
was subjected to a rapid fire of ques
tions, many of which embarrassed him
and he showed a determination to
evade. According to his own statements
he knew nothing of the tragedy until
late next forenoon; didn't see the crowd
In the morning when they were examin
ing the trail of blood in front of the
house; didn't go to see the dead body
and couldn't say whether he went over
to see the pool of blood at the coal
chutes that day or the next. He stead

he did not go to bed within fifteen min

" I can't eat, I have no appetite," Is the
complaint of many people just now. This
Is because the blood is in sluggish and
impure condition. Vitalize and enrich
It by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and you
will soon be hungry all the time because
your blood will demand proper suste
nance from good food.
