LAWYER OR DOCTOR.
G. F. WalJon, Anxious to Become Either
at the Expense of llnndlcy I.stnte. -
Dr. D. 13. Hand, of Penn avenue, Is the
guardian of George F. Walden. aged 19
years, son of Dr. J. S. Walden, deceased,
of this city. It is alleged that In the
autumn of ISM Judge Handley proffered
Mrs. Walden to educate her boy to
graduate from either a medical or law
school, and she gratefully accepted the
generous offer. She sent him to the
St'hool of the Lackawanna, where he
was being educated at the time of Judge
Handler's death.
Attorneys Ward & Horn yesterday
filed a petition In court setting forth
that Walden was one of the boys the
Judge had at school and the appoint
ment of an examiner to take testimony
Is prayed for. The executors will be
required to answer the rule within ten
days.
It Is claimed that Walden Is entitled
to the benefit made by Judge Handley
In his will for the education of boys and
girls who were deriving that benefit
during his life.
HE HAS HAD HIS SAY.

prietors will open up a sale of the goods
in tho store building at No. MIS Lacka
wanna avenue, where the Immense stock
will bo offered at prices regardless of their
value. The sale will commence on Sat

PLEADING FOR B0SCH1N0
t ,
His Attorneys' Efforts to Secure for
Him a New Trial.
ARGUMENTS THEY PRESENTED
Dlstrlot Attorney John R, Jones Vigor
ously Oppoucd tho Granting of o
New Trial Action Taken In Caso
of llcrscholl HollUtor.
Jose-ph Boschino, who hns been ad
judged guilty of murder In the llrst do.
gree by a Jury of his peers, for the
crime of lying In wait and scooting to
death 'Frank Confortl, at Hunker Hill,
above Dimmore, on Sunday evening
Nov. 11, has no reason to complain, of
the efforts made by his attorneys, Ward
& Horn and L. 1. YVedeman, to eavo
him from the gibbet.
ltosolilno was brought down from tho
county Jail at I) o'clock yesterday morn
Ing and he took a seat near tho defend
ant's table, nnd the arguments for a
new trial for him began before Judges
Archbuld, Gunsterand Edwards, sitting
In open tho court. The Italian's wife
pat over nenr the prisoner's dock and
Kho hehl 'her 0-months-old baby, dressed
In white, .In 'her arms. The condemned
father often glanced wistfully In the di
rection of his child ond he showed
strong signs of emotion. He listened In
an apparently Interested manner to tho
eloquence of Judge AVnrd, although hi
rainnot understand - word of English.
When Dlstrlot Attorney John R. Jones
began for the commonwealth to argue
ngalnst granting a new trial, Ttoschino
fastened his gaze on 'Mr. Jones nnd
never was distracted from his steady
look until tho district attorney conclud
ed one of the most elaborate, exhaust
ing and eloquent addresses ever heard
In the court.
Several attorneys of tho court were
on hand to llnton to tho argument, it
being understood that one of the strong
est plens for a new trial was about to
be made. The attorneys for tho defense
had labored so hard slnce-the conviction
In collecting and preparing reasons for
a new trial, and they had been so suc-
civsful, that it -was anxiously awaited
the manner in which the commonwealth
intended to answer In rebuttal.
A monument of allegations were pre
pared by the defendant's counsel, but
District Attorney Jones was not less
careful, and his presentation of tho re
buttal argument contained extracts
from tho trial of nearly every promin
ent homicide case. In the country.
J nd 140 Wurd's Argument Begins.
Soon after 9 o'clock Judge Ward be
gan his argument. He occupied the
time until almost 2.30 In the afternoon.
He dwelt upon the contradictory evi
dence In the case and orgued seriatim
the thirty-five reasons that had been
prepared. Two witnesses, Invbrlano
and Mlrannd, he aid, swore that they
were near IHoschino when ho fired the
shots; and another, Salvatorl, swore he
was COO feet from the'npot and swore In
the same breath that he was with them
These menv Judge Ward said, had been
suspected of the murder. It was darl;
and Salvatorl still claimed that he
recognized Boschino 600 feet away. Pat
rick Flnnerty heard the shots and saw
a man run into the bushes. The man
passed Flnnerty only a few feet away,
and although he knew Itoschlno well
he did not recognize him then, but gave
a description of him. The description.
Judge Ward said, could as easily fit
Imbriano or Salvatorl.
The court was charged with error in
not presenting more favorably the evi
dence of nn ablll. While three wit
nesses swore they saw Boschino fire
the shots, Mrs. Boschino nnd two- vis
itors at the house swore that Hoschlno
was In the house when the shots were
fired. Judge Ward spoke for a long
time on the chnrge of Judge Gunster
to the jury. He then drifted to the
separation of the Jurors and the read
ing by them in the jury room of a copy
of the edition of the Sunday Free Press,
thnt contained an account of the trial
It was said fho Jurors separated while
out getting their meals, and that one
of W. F. O'Brien's barbers, who went
to the jury room to shave the jurors,
took with him in his pockets a paper
and the Jurors read that paper.
What tho I'rce Press Said. '
District Attorney Jones presented n
copy of the Free Press nnd read the
following which the paper contained In
reference to the trial of Boschino. It
was preceded by black type headlines
that were In consonance with this' ex
tract:
"The trlnl of Joseph Hoschlno, for the
murder of Francesco Confortl, grows
more Interesting hb the defenso pro
gresses, and there Is enough of contra
dictory testimony to confuse tho Jury
and put them nt a loss to' know who
fired the fatal shots. Umbrlano, Sal
vntorl nnd Mlranno swore thnt Bos
chlno did the shooting. Boschino, his
wife and two visitors, swear that the
defendant was In his house when the
shots were fired, and there is nbun
dance of testimony thnt Salvatorl fluid
Immediately after the nrrest that his
two companions did the murderous
work. It Is difficult to tell, from the
testimony, who Is the actual murderer.
and it Is not nt all probable that the
Jury will find a verdict In the first' de
gree. The star witness yesterday wns
the defendant. He stoutly maintained
his innocence, nnd bore out the testl-
money of his wife thnt he wns In his
house when tho shots wero fired."
Court Thought That Was Favorable
When it wns rend Judge Archbald re
marked that admitting even that tho
jurors did rend the comments In the
Press is could mot Influence them ad
versely. Mr. Jones then denied and of-
f?re1 the evidence of C. S. Boa mans,
who was foreman of tho J -y, to prove
thn'. the Jury did not read it tall.
Although Mr. Jones argued on each
of the thirty-four reasons brought out
by the defendant 8 counsel, and argued
them at length and cited authority in
the shape of precedents nnd rulings of
the Supreme court, yet he seemed to di
rect himself particularly to answering
the question of an alibi; the reading
of the paper, and the alleged separation
of the Jurors.
Where the defense rests, h6 said.
upon the evidence of nn alibi, that evi
dence must be full, clear and satisfac
tory. This Is a matter for the Jury to
pass upon, but the defendant's- counsel
complained that Judge Ounster did not
charge them in the defendant's favor
strong enough on thnt point. Judge
Qunster here assisted the district attor
ney by remarking that he not only
went so far os to charge the Jury that
If they believed the evldenoe of Mrs.
Boschino and tho two witnesses who
swore to the presence of the defendant
In the house at the time the shots were
fired they should render a verdict of
acquittal, but that he also told them
that If they did not believe that evi
dence, yet It raised a reasonable doubt
in their minds of his guilt or Innocence,
he should be acquitted.
In respect to the separation of the
Jurors Mr. Jones said he had the evi
dence of both bailiffs and of Mr. Sea
man's tho foreman, that the jurors
were not In any way, shape of manner
Influenced by tho separation that did
occur. , i
On one occasion, on their way to din
ner, iMr. Seamana and Lewis Follet
went Into Koempel's drug store and
bought some medicine and chewing
gum, nnd then the tipstaff was with
them while the other Jurors were on the
outside only a few feet away and a
glass door dividing them while they
were In charge of another tipstaff.
Attorney Wedeman followed with a
brief argument and urged the court
not to let a question of expense stand
in tho way of a new trlnl. Court took
all the papers and evidence.
Ilolllslcr Cuso Dropped.
District Attorney Jones yesterday In
formed tho court that Information In
regnrd to the habits of Herschell II.
Holllster convinced him that the latter
would not plan any more pay office
robberies and was lending nn honest
life, therefore that the commonwealth
had no desire to prosecute htm further,
Tho matter was to have been argued,
but that disposed of the case. Air.
Jones remnrked that If HolllKter should
m-ako nny further lapses ho would find
the caso revived against him and might
go bnck to prison to complete his ab
breviated term. '
