Depositions were taken yesterday In
court room No. 2 whkh will be present
ed to the board of pardons In behalf of
Murderer Frank Hezek. The witnesses
were sworn before Attorney George S.
Peck, .notary public. Attorney George
9. Horn appeared for the condemned
man's side of the case, and the com
monwealth was represented ty Attor
ney John P. Kelly, who was district at
torney when the case was tried, and
District Attorney John It. Jones.
Attorney Oeorge M. Watson was
sworn and he deposed that the Bezek
trial opened on Monday, Dec. 3. Only
three days prior to that he was assigned
as one of the defendant's counsel by
the court, and that the first talk he had
with Bezek was on the morning of the
trial. A continuance was asked, but
refused.
Spoke tho Kranish Dialect.
Bezek spoke the Kranish dialect of
the Hungarian language, and It was
almost impossible to And any person
who could interpret It. Finally two In
terpreters had to be employed; one who
sifted the Kranish vernacular Into Ger
man, and the other who Interpreted
the German Into English. Mr. Watson
alleges that this difficulty resulted In
not getting the evidence correctly In
tepreted. The deponent further said that Anton
Bourshnack and Fred Morganrelder
called at his oitlce on March 16 last,
after the case had been argued before
the Superema court, and he reduced to
writing a statement made to him, In
which the syllabus of what they said
was that Mrs. Josephine Kramer admit
ted to them that she perjured herself
In swearing that Bezek pointed the re
volver at her sister and deliberately
fired It. She told them that Bezek did
not point the revolver at her Bister, but
it himself, Intending to commit sui
cide when refused iMary's hand in
marriage; and that when Mary saw his
motive she ran and grasped the revol
ver and got shot In the head. The
shooting1 was not done, she said to
them. In the manner she indicated in
court, 'but during a 'struggle where she
tried to wrest the revolver from him.
He had pointed It at his chin when she
made the attempt to prevent him and
lost her own life.
The Other Witnesses.
Mrs. Josephine Opeka, of Forest City;
Joseph Petrochlus, a cousin of Bezek;
Lewis Zoval, and Fred Morganrelder
were the other witnesses. The latter
corroborated Mr. Watson In reference
to what 'Mrs. Kramer said about her
perjuring herself. Petrochlus said that
Bourshnack told him that he heard
Bezek say that if Mary Kerzlk mar
ried Bourshnack, he (Bezek) would kill
himself.
Mrs. Kramer and Mr. Bourshnack
have gone, and their views were not, of
course, expressed. C. I. -Berger, of Oly
phant, acted as Interpreter. The hear
ing will be resumed next Wednesday.
The depositions Will be presented to the
board of pardons, which, according to
the rules, should meet on July 16. If
the board does not then meet, the gov
ernor will be appealed to, to grant a
respite until the case can be brought

Will Assemble Next Taarsday.
IN THE BOARD OP TRADE ROOMS
Mayor Connell Will Weloonte Visitors.
On Second Day of Convention They
Will Enjoy an Excursion to
Farvlew and llonesdale.
What will undoubtedly prove an Im
portant event to Scranton will be the
sixth state convention of the Associa
tion of Fire Insurance Agents, opening
In the board of trade rooms on next
Thursday. The association comprises
a membership of nearly 300, and the
convention will be in session for two
days.
A. B. Holmes. C. O. Boland, R. W.
Luce, Henry Berlin, jr., H. E. Paine, W.
It. Christmas and O. R. Conrad are
the committee of the Scranton Under
writers' association that have been In
trusted with the arrangements for the
reception of the visiting delegates.
On Friday an excursion will tie con
ducted to Farvlew and Honesdale, din
ner at the latter .place, and returning
In the evening over the famous Mooslo
Mountain Switchback on the Gravity
road. The railroad companies, through
the solicitation of the committee have
agreed ti, sell tickets to the delegates
on the basis of two cents a mile. Hotel
rates have been secured specially at
nil the leading hostelrless of the city. To
all members of the association the com
mittee has sent out a circular setting
forth the advantages of Scranton. Men
tion is made of the bracing atmosphere,
owing to the altitude r 1,000 feet above
the sea level. Here Is what the circular
says:
Scranton Is a Hustler.
Every possible care has been taken
to make this convention a profitable
and pleasant one. We offer you the
hospitalities of a young and hustling
city; the fourth in point of population
In our ntoite; the first least of the
Mississippi to substitute the speed and
comfort of the electric for the horse
car system, In which she was more than
six years in advance of any other city
of the commonwealth. Her electric
system of lighting and railways early
gave her the sobriquet of "The Electrlo
City." Although a young city, we think
you will admit that In point of public
buildings, mercantile enterprise, manu
facturing Industries, to say nothing of
her coal, Iron and steel Interests, she
has indeed been a "hustler."
The present officers of the association
are: Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, presi
dent; Homer M. Hill, of Erie, secre
tary, and O. F. P. Wanger, of Potts
town, treasurer.
The delegates will assemble at 10
o'clock Thursday morning and after en
rollment will adjourn until 2 p. m.
Mayor W. Iv Connell will deliver the
address of welcome and the response
will be by Frank R. Lleb, of Harrls
burg, on tho part of the association.
The regular order of business will then
continue until 4.30, when the visitors
will be conducted to different points of
Interest In the city over the electric
railways. , ,
Will Hold an Evening Session.
The convention will reassemble at 8
o'clock in the evening, when papers
on topics according to appointment of
the executive committee at the last
session will be read. The first will be
on the subject, "How to (Brinfr the Fire
Insurance Business on a Cash Basis,"
by Charles R. Smith, of this city. "How
to Reduce the Loss Ratio" will be pre
sented by Joseph S. Hoard, of Mans
field; and W. C. Hembold, of Clearfield,
will read a paper, tho subject of which
has been left to himself to decide. There
will bda general discussion of the three
papers by S-mlnute speeches from the
members.
After the transaction of unfinished
business, officers for the year will be
elected and a place appointed for hold
Ing the seventh state convention. The
Insurance men are shrewd and enter
prising citizens and they will be sure
to carry with them remembrances of
the progresslveness of the metropolis
of northeastern Pennsylvania.
CLEARING IP MYSTERY.
It Is Stated Thst Arrests Will De Mads
Very Soon by County Detective.
It was stated yesterday that County
Detective Leyshon was ready to pro
ceed to the arrest of the man who shot
and killed William Gurd on June 17
last.
The only particulars that could be
learned from the county detective were
that there is a woman in the case and
that the woman is unmarried and of an
excellent family.
The man's name he would not reveal,
but he affirmed that be will 'be under
arrest very soon, probably today. Suf
ficient evidence has been collected to
make a sure case, and the only cause
of delay Is the arranging of few minor
matters In the legal proceedings.
The Gurd case Is one of the most mys
terious crimes that has occurred In this
county, William Gurd, a peaceable
citizen who had always borne a good
reputation, tottered into his house on
the night of June 17 weak .from loss of
blood ana almost dead from two bul
let wounds In the back. There were no
bullet iholes In his coat so It was evl
dent that he did not have this garment
on when he was shot, and this incident
contradicted in a manner Gurd's own
ante-mortem statement that lie was
walking through the fields near the
Doles Car Wheel works when he was
followed and shot without any provoca
tion by some unknown man, whom he
had espied In company of a woman
while, passing (through the1 field.
The coroner's Investigation failed to
throw any light on the mystery. In
fact, the evidence that was adduced
only enshrouded the case In deeper mys
tery, Gurd's story of his wanderings
after the shooting were proven to be
quite Improbable, and testimony as to
the time the shots were heard by two
different .parties did not Jibe,
The police wars all at sea and have
not as yet (been able to unearth the
facts of the case. County Detective
Leyshon, If he can do what he says he
can, will make a big reputation for
himself. .
ON TRIAL FOR KIDNAPPING.

derer Leonardo Itosa was heard yester
day before the three Judges. Rosa, It
will bo .remembered, shut and killed
VI to LhuiIfso on the nltfht of Feb. 22,
at Willow and Mortimer, street. Dun
more. The evidence against him was
mostly of a circumstantial nature, but
notwithstanding this, the jury on Sun
day, April 21, brought In a verdict of
murder In the tlrnt degree.
The principal witness against the
convicted man was Detective Frank
Anil. He was placed in the same cell
with the accusud murderer und after
a time succeeded In gaining the confi
dence of his cell mate, .who, he al
leged, disclosed to him tits guilt mid told
him where tho revolver with which tho
deed was committed could be found.
County Detective Leyshon found tho
rev61vcr In tho place mentioned.
This was the gist of AgU's testimony
at the time of the trial. Now Attor
neys J. J. H. Hamilton and John G. Mc-A-skle.
who havo defended the convict
ed man, claim that Agll admits that he
withheld a very Important part of tho
confession. This part which h did not
disclose at the trial was to the effect
that Rosa, whllo he admitted killing
Laurlsso, did so only after his victim
threatened to stab him with a scissors.
Mr. Hamilton began his argument at
3.30 o'clock yesterday and at tho ad
journment of cuurt at 4.30, had not fin
ished. He will resume In the morning
and will 'bo followed by District Attor
ney Jones, who will argue for the pros
ecution. During the hour which Mr.
Hamilton occupied he brought forth a
number of reasons for a new trial. He
contended that the court erred In its
rulings in refusing to allow certain
challenges for cause; that the verdict
was not warranted 'by the evidence;
that they have new and Important evi
dence, namely what Detective Agll
says, to submit, and also that the con
duct of the district attorney was unfair
to the defendant. Rosa was In court
during the argument.

Members Discuss Nuisance Question,
Health Officer Thomas' Jtcport on
Quality of Milk for Sale-Kesbla-tloas
Introduced by Col. Ripple.
AH' the mennbers, looking bright and
cheerful after the Fourth of July, were
present at yesterday afternoon's reg
ular monthly meeting of the board of
health.
When the unlnlshed business was
transacted the lioard adjourned sine
die, und prepared for reorganization.
Dr. W. K. ISentley, who has served two
years as president of tho board,
thanked hla colleagues cordially fur the
cuurtsey shown him and retired from
the. uhalr. He positively refused to ac
cept another term.
M. J. Kelly was chosen chairman pro.
tern., and on motion of Mr. Zlegler he
was made permanent cnalrman. Mr.
Kelly accepted the honor with a brief
expression of thanks. It was next de
cided that the salaries of the paid offi
cers shall be the same as last year.
Secretary Walter Itiifrgs was re-elected
at a salary of JCuO per annum. Mr.
Zlegler cast the vote of the members.
Dr. W, E. Allen was also re-elected ut
the sulury of SS00 a year. Dr. llentley
casting the vote of the board. It was
unanimously decided to request Mayor
Connell to re-appoint Mr. Burks sani
tary officer.
West Side Nuisance.
They took up the question of nuis
ances and dtiicussed the subject In all
Its phases and bearings. There is a
eyesore as well as a. blot to the hygienic
map at 130 Van Iiuren avenue, on the
West Side. Sanitary Officer Burke was
empowered to fumigate the premises.
Dr. Paine reported Roberts court, be
tween Swetland and Pettlbone streets,
on the West Side, us an unmitigated
nuisance. The properties facing on
Sumner avenue have drain pipes empty
ing into this court. Another spot that
does not lend to the health of Its sur
roundings is the skating pond near the
Johnson's Lake grounds, on North
Washington avenue.
No action was taken on either of
these complaints. It being the belief of
the members that this Is something
for the councils to take up and remedy
by grading.
The report of Food Inspector Rich
ard Thomas showed that he made 537
official visits during June, besides hav
ing taken several peeps Into the wagons
of farmers coming to town with pro
duce. The general condition of the
markets and shops was found to be
good, in fact never before during his
official career did he run across such a
satisfactory state of things. The milk
has been singularly free from foreign
substances, sueii as calcareous matter
or spring water.
Arrest of Jacob Suravltz.
He made one arrest, that of Jacob
suravltz, a butcher of Penn avenue.
who kept hla shop In a very unsanitary
condition. Mr. Thomas qualified his re.
port with a statement concerning the
irouoie lie has experienced in forcing
milk dealers to render the nure article
He went Into an Ice cream parlor not
long ago ana round a chunk of ice in
tho milk can.
"What's that for?" said he to the
pretty waitress; "Oh, she responded
with a piquant smile, "that's to keep
the milk cold." Mr. Thomas suggested
that such was too enterprising a way
to prevent tho milk from getting sour.
and advised her to keep the Ice on the
outside of the milk tank.
Ho also said that one man who runs
a milk dairy at Milwaukle, across the
hills, dilutes his lacteal fluid with
water and serves the mixture In large
quantities In this city. But this dealer
has promised to give the hydrant the
go-by when he Is making up his load
of milk In the future.
Colonel Ripple Introduced the follow
ing resolution to cover such cases in
future:
"It shall foe the duty of the milk In
spector, when he shall find any person
or persons, bringing Impure or adult
erated milk to the markets of this city.
to warn them against a repetition of
the offense; to confiscate the
milk and notify all dealers
In the city that the milk furnished by
such person or persons Is impure or
adulterated."
Work Dons at Crematory.
At the crematory, according to Su
perintendent H. W. Loftus' report,
there were 2,272 barrels of garbage con
sumed; ten doss; and one dend feline.
Thirty tons of coal were burned, and
t wo gallons of kerosene.
'Secretary Walter llrlggs' report of
vital statistics for the month past
showed that the month of June had a
lower death rate than any other month
of the present year; the total deaths
so far In the city during 1S95 from all
causes has been 74S. The births for
the1 month were 130. Twenty-three cases
of contagious diseases were reported.
Mr. Brlggs read a long communica
tion from Nathan Strause, a wealthy
New Yorker, on the merits of sterilized
milk. It was placed on file.
The secretary was ordered to write
to Health Officer Jenkins, of the port
of New Tork, and let him know that
tho board will pay for telegrams In
cbscb where Immigrants who come to
tho land of the free and the home of
tho brnve on Infected ships are bound
for Scranton. In the cane of the seven
Hungarians that created such a scare
at Olyphant recently, Secretary Briggs
received a letter about three days after
they arrived In Scranton and they could
have spread contagion In that time all
over hoLheastern Pennsylvania.
ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITERS
The Mayor la a Msrk for Many Senders
of This Kind of Missives.
"Just say for me," remarked Mayor
Connell yesterday, "that I will not give
tho least consideration to anonymous
communications. (My mall Is littered
with them every day, and my time Is
taken up with their perusal, so I want
to announce publicly that It will avail
nothing to address me anonymously, no
matter what the subject matter of the
letter may be."
The letters, tho mayor further stated
In conversation, were of all aorts and
descriptions, aome ludicrously funny,

Two Bnrly Antaaoalste.
Police Officer Leona Day had a fierce
encounter between 1 and 2 o'clock yes
terday morning with two drunken men
at Penn avenue and Linden street The
officer's) assaikinta are two big, power
ful men, John Rertlly and John Cafferty,
of Ureen Ridge, and much to the credit
of the officer's pluck he succeeded in
landing both In Jull without assistance.
Officer Day first placed Reilly under
arrest for 'brutally kicking a small boy
without any great provocation, and
when he attempted to take him to the
station house, ltetlly grappled with him
and called on his companion, Cafferty,
for assistance. The officer's club was
wrenched from his grasp, but he re
gained It after continued attempts were
made to strike him with It and succeed
ed In dealing Cafferty a blow which
laid htm out. He was at such close
quarters with ltellly that he could not
use his club and was forced to van
quish his burly antagonist In a rough
and tumble encounter. The officer's
rubbercoat, which had also hampered
him very much, was torn Into shreds
during the striurxle, but otherwise he
was not badly injured.
The two men were handcuffed and
marched to the station house, where
Alderman Millar later in the day gave
them a. hearing and fined them S25
apiece. Reilly paid his fine, and Caffer
ty was sent to the county Jail.
