NOW PUT OXTKIALFOK HIS LIPE
Hx-Gencral Master Workman Powderly
Opened Case for Commonwealth to
Jury Revolver Pound Where Kosa
Told His Cell-mate He Hid It.
Leonard (Rosa, of Duntnore, -was put
on trial In the main court room before
Judge Edwards yesterday for tho mur
der of Vlto Laulsso on Willow street,
Dunmore, on the morning of Feb. 27.
The accused is a heavy built, swarthy
Italian, 26 years of age. His cheek
bones are high, giving the cheeks a
sunken appearance, and his largo
mouth Is partially shaded by a small,
light brown moustache, the ends of
which he occupies himself almost con
stantly In twisting. Black hair thut
falls over the low forehead covers his
head, nnd his attire corresonda to the
careless condition In which he wears
his hair.
Ex-General .Master Workman T. V.
Powderly made his llrst appcurance In
court as a trial lawyer, assisting Dis
trict Attorney John R. Jones In present
ing the case to the Jury for the com
monwealth. Mr. Powderly made the
opening address to the Jury for tho
prosecution. The defendant Is repre
sented by ex-Judge Ward, Attorney
John O. McAskleand James J. H. Ham
ilton. A Jury Secured.
At 10 o'clock the task of securing
a Jury was taken up. and at 3 o'clock
In the afternoon the necessary twelve
good men and true hnd been secured
to pass upon the luw and the evidence
In the case. Tha Jurors are: James P.
Sampson, agent, Jermyn; J. K. Mc
Wllllams. clerk, Scranton; C. M. Cook,
furmer, Benton; William Huntz, cigar
maker, Scranton; Ira C. Atherton,
farmer, Taylor; C. M. Coon, farmer,
North Abington; Ellas Davis, miner,
Scranton; W. W. Snyder, Carpenter,
Carbondale; John Berry, superintend
ent, Scranton; William 1. Coons, clerk.
South Abington; David 12. Hughes,
cjerk, Scranton: Harrison Finch, yeo
man, Roaring Brook.
While endeavoring to secure a Jury
forty-one jttrors were called, nine of
whom were stood aside by the com
monwealth, ten were challenged for
cause, and twelve were sworn. After
the Jury had been secured Attorney
Hamilton asked that the witnesses be
excluded from the court room during
the progress of the trial that they
might have no opportunity of fixing up
their stories from what they heard In
court. The request will be complied
with.
Opening for tho Prosecution.
Mr. Powderly then opened the case
for the commonwealth and reviewed
the facts leading up to the killing. He
eald that the prosecution would be able
to show that on the night of the mur
der Lauisso was called from his board
ing house at a late hour to Join in a
revel. When last seen alive he was in
company with Rosa, whom the mur
dered want owed $40. A' few hours
later the body of Lauisso was found ly
ing in the street with bullet holes in it.
The district attorney, continued Mr.
Powderly, secured the services of a de
tective, who obtained from the defend
ant a confession that he killed Lauisso
and then hid the revolver, with which
the crime had been committed on the
top of the cellar wall In the house in
which he boarded. The county detec
tive and chief of police of Dunmore
went "to the place directed and found
the revolver with particles of dirt cling
ing to the muzzle where it had dried
into the blood of the murdered man
which covered the end of the revolver
barrel when the weapon was placed In
its hiding place.
Would Corroborate this Confession. .
. The commonwealth, the speaker said,
would be able to put witnesses on the
stand whose testimony will be In line
with this confession. This testimony
the Jurors would be asked to pass upon
fairly and impartially and return a'
verdict strictly In accordance with the
facts. Mr. Powderly's opening address
was a plain, forceful presentation of
the facts In the case from the-commonwealth
point of view without any at
tempt "at oratorical embellishment. It
was listened to by a large number of
attorneys who were present to hear
Mr. Powderly's maiden effort befor a
Jury.
Constantlne Morosinl was sworn as
Interpreter for the commonwealth and
Joseph Fabiano was then called as the
first witness for the prosecution. He
said that on the night of February 26,
In company with Leonardo Rosa, Pas
quala Bllviluq.ua and Salvatorl Cerm
ernia, he was dressed in a masquerade
costume, in accordance with a custom
In their country of holding a carnival,
preceding the beginning of lent. They

Kofello's and from there to Leopold
Nlcotora's, arriving there . about 9
o'clock.
They Gained on Entrance, .
Nlcotora's family had gone to bed
when they arrived at his home but they
succeeded In awakening him and en
toVed the house. Nlcotora, to show his
appreciation of the call, sent Hosa to
purchase two Dints of beer with which
to treat the crowd. They drank the
beer and also two more pints that were
sent for, and when they were about to
leave Vlto Lauisso, who boarded with
Nlcotora, said he would go with them
as far the saloon and get a glass of
beer. They told him he could stay
where he was that they had enough of
beer.
They next went to Vlto Girardo's
hotel, a short distance away, and re
mained there ten or fifteen, minutes.
Lauisso was with them and . they had
two rounds of drinks. It was near
midnight when they left the hotel, and
they next went to Carbo's boarding
house, where they all boarded, except
Lauisso. Rosa and Lauisso they left
sitting In the cellar, the other members
of the party going to bed. Early the
next morning witness saw the body of
Lauisso lying on Willow street, or
Duck street, about 100 or 150 yards from
the door of the cellar- in which they
left Rosa and Lauisso the night before.
Hosn'a Head Was Bowed.
Whem witness was called by his
boarding boss lnv the morning he saw
Rosa leaning against a bed with his
head bowed on his hand. He was fully
dressed. -Then witness went out to
look at the body after having- dressed,
and found Rosa there, some one having
suggested that Rosa go for a doctor.
At this point court adjourned for the
day after Judge Edwards had cau
tioned the Jurors not to separate during
the progress of the case. He told them
that they, could receive no letters or
communication of any kind from any
one until they have been examined by
the court. The Judge also directed the
tipstaffs not to allow the Jurors to
have any papers to read that contained
reports of the trial.
The prisoner chatted cheerfully after
adjournment of court and did not ap
pear to fear in the least the outcome
of the trial. He was born In Naples,
Italy, and has been In this country four
years.

THAT TEN-FOOT PRIVILEGE
i
Engages the Definite Attention of the
board of 1 rail e.
BOARD WANTS CAK FENDERS
And DcclJod to Push tho Matter in
Coitnells-J. M. Kemmerer Will En
deavor to lluvo the Local
Stock Quotations Abolished,
The board of trade at its meeting last
night adopted the important recom
mendations of two committees. Tho
first pertulned to the much discussed
10-foot reservation, and the other con
cerned a movement to compVl 'the
Scranton Traction company to place
fenders on Its cars.
The report concerning the 10-foot res
ervation was mado by the streets and
highways committee, and was signed
by Chulrmun 0. H. Pond. It wus
drafted by City Solicitor' Torrey, who
has given considerable attention to the
Intricate subject. Ills opinion Is, In
substance, that neither the court nor
city can force property owners not to
use the 10-foot reservation, but that
affected property owners have a vested
Interest which will be recognized and
supported by courts of equity.
The conclusion of the report is as
follows: "Your committee, in view of
tho public Interests Involved, recom
mend that It be declared as the sense
of hls board, first, that ull property
owners In thu city, as well for their own
protection, us fur the public Interests,
Insist upon a rigid adherence to the
terms of all conveyences restraining
the use of the front part of lots In the
neighborhood of their property; second,
thut upon streets where a bay window
privilege Is enjoyed by all the owners,
Is Is recommended that, In so far us
practicable, voluntury agreements be
entered into between all the owners
upon such block, In which they shall, In
legal form, establish, some definite
building Hue beyond which no portion
of their present or any future buildings
shall be permitted to extend."
The recommendations of the report
were adopted.
Al;o ut Wagon Tires.
Concerning the wide wagon tire tax
exemption ordinance the following re
port was made by the same committee
and was adopted:
"Your committee would further re
port that we have Interviewed several
members of the councils relative to the
wide tl ordinance that was referred
to the Judiciary committee of the old
councils. We have found no opposition
to its passage, and have taken the pre-T
llmlnary steps toward having It again
Introduced, and believe we can assure
you that It will be passed without any
necessary delay."
For the public safety committee Sec
retary Atherton read the letter from
Mayor Latrobe, of Bultlmore, and
which was printed In Saturday's Trib
une. The letter stated that each of the
four street railway companies In Balti
more has ai distinctive type of fender
apd that between thirty and forty lives
have been saved by their use In less
than six months. -
The committee's recommendation was
adopted as follows: "That the city
councils be requested to at once pass an
ordinance compelling; the said Traction
company to place the best fender now
on the market on each of their cars and
to provide for a penalty should they
fall to comply with the requirements of
the ordinance within sixty days from
passage of same."
R. J. Foster supported a proposition
of Power, a manufacturer's publication,
to Insert an advertisement one year for
$300 and directing attention to Scran
ton's cheap fuel. After considerable
discussion and some opposition the
proposition was accepted with the pro
viso that the contract can be terminat
ed at the end of six months.
The meeting declined to take action
on the Philadelphia Trades league com
munication urging the board to request
Representatives Farr and Grover to
support, on reconsideration, the bill
making It possible to incorporate com
panies of a certain class In this state.
Representatives, Connell and O'Malley
voted In favor of the bill originally.
Will Hold a Mass Meeting.
A communication from Secretary
O'Toole, of the South Side board of
trade, stated that that body and tho
West Sldo board will combine In a mass
meeting to be held Wednesday evening,
April 24, when Mayor Connell, City So
licitor Torrey and others will speak on
the subject of good roads. The meet
ing will probably be held In the Young
Men's Christian association building.
The invitation was accepted.
John M. Kemmerer's announcement
that at the next mooting he would In
troduce a resolution to abolish the
board's stock exchange system and
board, was received with surprise by
all and with disapproval by many,
although no formal remarks were mnde
In the matter. Mr. Kemmerer stated
that tho exchange board was used too
generally for the purpose of rejuvenat
ing debilitated stocks, and also served
to Impair the credit of promising con
