THEORY OF THE DEFENSE
- -r , i.
Itl't'iiccs MrsNkotcroin a Very Bad
Liijlit.
HER LOVER IS THE MURDERER
That Is What tho Attorneys for Leonardo
liosa Aro Endeavoring to Muko tho -Jury
Mellevo-Clo.slnnTcstl-inony
In the Case.
Tho closing testimony In the case
wherein Leonardo Rosa Is charged with
the murder of VI to' Lauisso was heard
before Judge Edwards yesterday morn
ing, and the afternoon was devoted to
listening1 to arguments for the defense.
Attorney J. J. H. Hamilton spoke first
and was followed by ex-Judgo Ward
who was still speaking when court ad
journed at 5 o'clock, lleovlll resume
this morning and be followed by Dis
trict Attorney John H. Jones, who will
deliver tho closing argument on the
pnrt of the commonwealth.
in their closing addresses iho attor
neys for tlu defense set up iho theory
that Lauisso was murdered not by Rosa
but by a mart with whom Mrs. Nlcotera
hud been intimate. They allege that
on the night of the murder when Mrs.
Nlcotera sat up after the departure of
the visitors who called upon herself
and husband, she did not refrain from
returning to bed with her lelge lord on
account of pain she suffered, us she
says, .but that she might entertain her
lover after her husband had gone to
sleep.
Following Vp the Theory.
Then, the eloquent gentlemen assert
In carrying out their theory, after Mr.
Nlcotera was sleeping the sleep of the
Just his wife admitted her visitor and
while entertaining him was discovered
by Lauisso, (who boarded with the
Nlcoteras) on his return from the
carousal with Rosa and the other Ital
ians. .Lauisso, not . desiring to enter
then, walked away and was followed
by Mrs. Nicoter.Vi loverwho killed Lau
isso that his lips might be forever sealed
to what he had learned and the Injured
husband thus kept in Ignorance of that
night's events. Mr. Hamilton and ex
Judge Ward argued In on Ingenious
way to support hls theory and said
tttat It was the only ground on which
Mrs. NIcotera's apparently feverish de
sire to have Rosa convicted could be
accounted for.
After court opened at 9 o'clock yester
day morning Leonardo -Rosa, the ac
cused man, was recalled to the stand,
and denied that the book spoken about
by Mrs. Corbo in her testimony con
tained an account against the dead man
of money owed to witness. On cross
examination Rosa denied that he told
County Detective Leyshon nnd Charles
E. Daniels, after his arrest, that ha
threw away his revolver before his ar
rest. Rosa said that when Lauisso
left Corbo's house early on the morning
of February 27, he only went as far as
the steps outside the house with him.
Identified the llook.
Mrs. Cornelia Corbo Identified the
book she gave Rosa as the one pro
duced in court, and then Mrs. Marie
Nlcotera was recalled for further
cross-examination and swore that the
book produced In court was not the one
in which Rosa kept his account against
Lauisso. She saw the book when Rosa
put It In his pocket and remembered it
distinctly.
Major Montrose Barnard was called
and Identified a draft of the Nlcotera
premises that he made Thursday, nnd
then Tony Freda was called, who also
gave some testimony concerning the
location of the buildings shown on the
mup made by Mr. Barnard. Pasquale
Bevllaqua was at this point recalled
for further cross-examination and told
what he knew about the appearance
of that celebrated account-book. Frank
Agll, tho detective, was recalled and
asked to produce his commission from
the sheriff of Queen's county, N. Y or
his commission from the mayor as a
special ottlcer, but was unable to do so.
Marie Rosa was recalled to prove that
when Rosa shot her In the arm in Italy
It was purely accidental, but the evi
dence was ruled out.
Attorney F. V. Fleltz, who conduct
ed the examination of the witnesses for
Rosa at tho . coroner's inquest, was
called and testified to several points In
which Mrs. N'icotera'steStlmony at that
time does not agree with her testimony
now. Joseph Cassesse, the lntepreter
at the coroner's inquest, also testified to
discrepancies In the two stories of the
witness.. . ...
Ilcr Different Stories.
On the present trial she said she saw
Rosa having Lauisso by the neck and
dragging him along, and a few minutes
later she heard pistol shots. It was
shown that there was no moon that
night and that it was not possible for
her to have neon what she Bald. Mr.
Cassesse swore thnit nt the coroner's
Inquest Mrs. Nlcotera said that she was
Inside the house, In the kitchen, and she
heard the voices of three persons, Leo
nardo Rosn, " Joseph Rosa and A'lto
Lauisso. She heard their voices but did
not see them, for she did not look out
side. The defendant rested with the
right to call Miss Abble Watrous.nnd
Thomas J. Price was called by tho com
monwealth in rebuttal. He Is deputy
warden at the county Jnll and searched
Agll when he was received there, and
Is sure the detective did not carry any
whiskey with him to his cell. Frank
Agll was recalled and denied that ho
took any liquor to his cell or treated
Rosa with It. Ex-Judge Ward tried to
prove bythe witness that he cannot talk
Italian, but the question was ruled out.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
said that Rosa told him in the Dunmore
lockup that he had no revolver for four
or five days before the murder, that he
threw It away. Mr. Leyshon also
stated that there Is an electric light
near'Nlcotera's houBe, and that no one
would have any trouble In seeing there
nt night whether the moon was out or
not. Charles 13. Daniels corroborated
Mr. LeyBhon's testimony as to the
statement made by Rosa.
Threw tho Revolver Away,
Vlncenzo Vlcarro 'swore that Rosa
told him the night after the murder
that he threw his revolver away. Mrs.
Nlcotera was again called to testify to
the condition of ithe fence about her
property and then the commonwealth
rested.
In surrebuttal Attortiey J. O. Mc
Askle was examined as to the condi
tion of the fence about NIcotera's
place. Francis O'Hara was examined
on tho same subject, and that closed
th testimony In the case; - "
At 1.30 Attorney J. J. H. Hamilton
began the first address to the Jury Tor
the defense. It was Mr. Hamilton's
first effort before a Jury In this coun
ty and was followed with close atten
tion. It was a logical address, In which
Mr. Hamilton labored by reasoning
rather than eloquence to convince the
Jury of the Innocence of his client. The
detective, Frank Agll, he referred to as
a perfect type of the Judlafl Iscarlot.
His story about the alleged confession,
Mr. Hamilton said, was concocted for
the purpose .of gulntng the. reward such
a service would entitle him to. Mr.
Hamilton then with rare cleverness
reviewed the testimony of Leopold
Nlcotera and his . wife, with whom
Lauisso boarded, and sought to carry
out the theory outlined above, tie felt
that tile jury would not convict the ac
cused on such a weak chain of clrcum
stantlal evidence, as In his opinion the
commonwealth had presented, bed
stered by what ho believed to be per
jured testimony.
i:x-Jiid;o Ward's Itcmarks.
Mr. Hamilton finished at 3.45 and ex
Judge Ward began Ue closing address
to the Jury for the defense. He Im
pressed upon the Jurors the necessity
of carefully considering the case and
said it would be better for them to err
on the side of mercy than to convict
an innocent man, for it Is the law of
Clod and law of man that it were better
that nlnety-nlno guilty men go free
than that one Innocent man should be
convicted and his lamp of life extin
guished to vindicate a law he had never
broken. The matter of a reasonable
doubt .was dwelt upon at length und
Judge Ward said that If there was a
dozen theories pointing to the guilt of
a prisoner und but a solitary one lead
lug to the conclusion of Innocence, the
Jury would be forced to accept the
theory pointing to Innocence. He ex
coriated Agll, whom he termed a
"thing," a "wretch" and seeker of blood
money, lie ald It was not the duty of
the prosecuting oflloera of the county
to employ, a reptile, arm him with u
bottle of whiskey und then send him
Into the cell of a suspected man for the
purpose of extorting a confession. It
was the duty of the ofilcers of the
county to ferret out crime In a manly.
honest fashion without recourse to such
reprehensible methods. .Judge Wnrd
then advanced the theory that Mrs,
Nlcotera knew the person - that slew
Lauisso, and to protect the real mur
derer Is trying to fasten the crime on
Rosa.
He said that the evidence would Indi
cate that Mrs. Nlcotera, Instead of sit
ting up on the night of the murder to
sew as she said she did, Was entertain
ing a lover, while her husband slept,
and Lauisso, when he returned home,
finding1 the Intruder, went out of the
houes again and was followed by Mrs.
NIcotera's caller, who killed him that
he might never be able to tell Nlcotera
of what he knew. Ex-Judge Ward
had not completed his argument at 5
o'clock, when court adjourned.
Important Insurance Case.
Before Judge Archbald the case of the
Clearing House Insurance company, of
St. Paul, Minn., against L. P. Williams,
of Scranton, was put on trial. The de
fendant is charged with having com
mitted foreerv. 'Attorneys John P. Kel-
le? and M. W. Lowry prosecuted the
case and Attorneys E. C. Newcomb, J.
Elliot Ross and E. H. Shurtleff con
ducted the defense. Williams Is charged
with forging an Insurance application
by which he procured a policy tin' the
life of his son, Louis H. Willlums, who
hns since died. . '
Williams presented an application
that he said was made to the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance company, and It
Is now alleged by the company that
Williams forged this application.
Dr. Saltry, whose name was on the
application, was sworn, and he testified
that It was forged. Dr. Beach was
sworn and said that he examined Louis
H. Williams before the application was
made and found him affected with
mitral regurgitation of the heart, an
incurable disease. , .- "
Mr. Williams, the defendant, swore
that he made an application to the
Mutual Benefit -Life Insurance com
pany for his son and the policy was re
fused because it was made out on an
old form then obsolete with the com
pany. The case -was on at adjourn
ment.
A verdict of not guilty was directed
to be taken in the case of the common
wesith against Carrie Snyder, charged
with assault and battery. ' The costs,
however, will be liquidated by her.

1SS DiCKINSON ON TRIAL
She Lectures in the Frothinghnnr on
. Juan of Arc.
MASTERFUL AND BRILLIANT
Whatever Muy Havo llcen Her Condition
Once, She Is a Very Gifted Woman.
With Llegnneoand Korc Command
of Language She Tells the Story.
Anna E. Dickinson, than whom there
has been no woman more discussed, in
the Eastern States at least, during the
last few weeks, lectured upon the life
of Joan of Arc before a fair sized and
select audience in the Frothlngham
theater last night.
Ten days ago the Jury disagreed In
Miss Dickinson's suit to recover $50,000
damages for -being confined for five
weeks, in 1891, In the State Hospital for
the Insane, at Danville. The trial was
sensational In the extreme and during
Its progress the plaintiff's present state
of mind was variously commented upon
by hundreds of persons who were fortu
nate enough to gain admittance to the
overcrowded, court room. When tho
announcement was made that she
would deliver last night's lecture, a re
port was widely circulated, and gained
considerable credence, that she would
attack the attorneys of the defendants
In the suit, the defendants themselves
and many of their witnesses.
Whoever may have gone to the
I rothlngham expecting to hear the re-
port verified, were disappointed. They
simply heard a wonderful story, won
derfully told by a famous woman of the
age, and who painted the sainted life of
Joan of Arc with the masterful and tar
tistic finish of a true artist. To those
who knew Miss Dickinson only through
her court notoriety or from hearsay,
the lecture was a revelation. Her man
ner, her language and her deep concep
tion of-her subject combined to stamp
her undisputably as an unusually gift
ed woman.
Sparkling and llrllllunt.
Whatever may have been Miss Dick
inson's mental condition at the time of
her incarceration in an asylum, her
hearers last night seemed of the opin
ion that she Is now possessed of a sound
and vigorous mentality. More than
that, she Impressed her audience with
her brilliancy sparkling, iluent and
imperious.
Her talk occupied an hour and a half,
and only once during that period did
she falter or repeat even a syllable, and
that was following an outburst of ap
plause.
Her rare presence of mind was ex
hibited under trying circumstances,
when, nfter she had been talking near
ly an hour, the electric lights suddenly
wemt out and the house was left In
total darkness. The accident did not
cause a breuk In her flow of language.
She continued for- perhaps a minute.
but ceased when she perceived that
light would not return. The darkness
was then partially relieved by a few
gas jots In the rear of the auditorium,
and which had been lighted by ushers
and spectators. Within a few more
minutes the stage carpenter ascer
tained that a fuse In the electrical
plant had burned out. Miss Dickinson
then proceeded with her subject und
within a minute more the trouble had
been remedied.
At 8:25 o'clock Miss Dickinson np
pearedonthe Btage, which was artistical
ly arranged as a parlor scene.' She wore
a small figured red silk gown with full
train. . The waist was cut low In front
and was semi-sleeved. Wide, real lace
was arranged from the shoulders and
at the opening of the sleeves. A mag
nificent ruby .necklace encircled her
throat, and supported a large ruby
pendant. She wore solitaire earrings
and finger rings numerous and costly.
Altogether, her costuming and jewels
and tout en semblo made a pleasing
combination picture of the elegance of
past and present.
Spuke Slowly at First.
She made no Introduction to her lec
ture. After acknowledging with a bow
the applause which greeted her, she be
gan her subject with the manner of one
who, under trying sircumstances, was
expected to tell an Intricate story and
to tell It well. At the beginning she
Bpoke slowly and with an almost im
perceptible tremor,' and although her
language and expression were . un
wavering, her gestures were studied
and made with great effort. Later,
however, there was no suspicion of a
strain. She soon began to talk more
fluently and at once had the sympathy
of her auditory. Her gesticulation
throughout smacked somewhat of the
stage, but It was lost sight of in her
masterful nnd comprehensive narration
of the beautiful story of the life, and
character of Jonu of Arc.
It was only once that her hearers
could have suspected that she made
reference to her recent litigation. Con
cerning Joan's successful point In In
ducing Charles VII to be crowned In
the cathedral at Rhelms, Miss Dickin
son remarked that tho one great wish
of Joan had been gratified. "You and
I, friends,' will have our day from
which we date; that day was her day."
She criticised Hume, Shakespeare,
Voltaire, Amortine, Catherine Beecher
