IS IT A WMl CASE?
Suspicious DcVa of Fritx Bauers ia
the Hospital
SOME DAMAGING EVIDENCE
Mrs. Graves Says She Saw Harry sad
Sasa. the Peddlers, Knock Baaers
Dow a Stairs-Arrested ss
s Supposed Drunk.
It Is probable that a case of murder
will develops from the death of Frits
Bauers In the, Lackawanna hospital
early yesterday morning. At least, a
personal Investigation by Coroner
Kelley early last evening warrants such
a belief, and induced him to communi
cate with County Dotectlve Leyshon
and to Impanel a Jury for Investigation.
The facts In the case are peculiar,
Bauers was taken in the patrol wagon
to the central police station Monday
morning. He was found lying In the
areaway In the rear of the bakery at
427 Penn avenue, and was almoBt In
capable of any phys'.clnl action; and
from his appearance the police assumed
he was In no worse a condition than
Is usual In cases of debauch.
In his cell at the police station he
remained powerless to move his lower
limbs or body, and during yesterday
was only able to speak. He could not
move his head or arms. Meanwhile,
Police Surgeon Fulton had dlnRnosed
the case as tremens and paralysis from
the effects of alcohol. Bauers' condi
tion became so alarming early yester
day morning that a call was sent for
an ambulance, which conveyed him to
the Lackawanna hospital.
Peath in tlio Hospital.
Less than fifteen minutes after being
received at the hospital he died. After
ascertaining that marks Indicating vlo
lence were upon one check and over the
hips, Coroner Kelley began his personal
Investigation.
If the story of Mrs. Greaves, who
lives next door to where Bauers was
found Monday morning, Is to be be
lieved, Harry and Sam Goldschlager,
two Jewish peddlers, may have to an
swer for Bauers' death.
The two peddlers are brothers of Mrs.
Nathan Druch, whose husband Is the
rabbi of the Benal Abraham and Jacob
synagogue, almost directly opposite the
bakery, from the rear of which Bauers
was taken In the patrol wagon. How
ever, it will probably be made known
at the inquest, which was adjourned to
tomorrow night that the husband of
Mrs. Greaves, whose story Involves the
two peddlers, is now In jail, where he
Is serving a light sentence for cruelly
stabbing a balky horse. Greaves was
convicted upon the evidence of the two
peddlers and It may develop that Mrs.
Gre.wes, to be revenged. Is taking ad
vantage of an opportunity to swear
them guilty of Bauers' death.
To a Tribune reporter Mrs. Greaves
last night itohl the story -which influ
enced Coroner Kelley to hold the In
quest. .Mrs. Greaves lives at 423 Penn
avenue. Her rooms are on the second
floor and extend back to a porch, from
which one can see what transpires In
the Druch abode, which is on a level
with ar.'i Joins Mrs. Greaves' rooms.
From each set of apartments a wooden
flight of stairs leads to the areaway be
low. When questioned "by the reporter
Sirs. Greaves said:
Peddlers Struck and Killed Him.
"Sunday night I saw Bauers and the
two peddlers In the Druoh's back room.
They were drtr.Jdng beer. Later I
heard a scuffle and heard Bauers cry
out as if In pain. "When I reached my
back porch they were pushing him out
the door and toward the stairs. One
peddler struck Bauers on the head and
another kicked him in he back. As
Bauers was tottering toward the steps
I wer.lt inside and heard him fall.
'All night long I heard tilm groan
ing In the back yard, and early Mon
day morning- I went down to where he
lay. He asked for water, and when 1
had given It to Mm he said: Those
itwo peddlers have killed me; they have
Hurt my head and back.'
Bauers was not drunk theft; he waa
badly hurt and could not move. Dur-
in the next three hours I gave him as
many as five cups of water, until about
.30 o'clock, when the patrol wagon
came and the police took him away."
The two peddlers could not be found
last T.'Ight. No neighbors were found
who confirmed Mrs. Greaves story.
iMrs. Cohen, who lives 1n the same
house, remarked that there is bad feel
ing between Mrs. Greaves and the
Druchs because Mrs. Druch's brother
gave testimony which sent the form
er's husband to jail.
Will Bo an Autopsy Todsy.
The Jury Impanelled by Coroner Kel
ley heard no evidence last night. The
body, as It lay on a slab In the hospital
morgue, was viewed, and an adjourn
ment made until tomorrow night at the
court house, where Dr. Heald, senior
surgeon at the hospital, and Coroner
Kelley will testify ito the result of an
autopsy which will be performed this
morning, and (Mrs. Greaves smd others
will be queetloned. If the autopsy re
veals violence as the cause of death,
the Jury will try to decide whether the
vk-.knee was accitfeni!! or criminal.
Bauers had neither friends nor rela
tives. He was 43 or 46 years old. and a
Polish Jew. For several years he had
been accustomed to 'spend his occa
sional earnlr.ga ,for drink, and was
often Intoxicated.
For over a year he "had rented a
sleeping room of Flsetter & Wolfgang,
who oonduct the bakery In the base
ment of No. 427. He was a helner In
the bakery at odd times until recen tly,
when his habits caused his dismissal.
HAD IIIS SISTERS JAILED.
Because Through Tbetr Fstbsr's Negleot
. They Became Wsywsrd.
Mrs. Alexander Smithy who was re
leased from police custody yesterday
morning, after paying a fine for loaf
ing about Nay Aug park, was again
arrested during the day; together with
her 17-year-old staler, Llllle Myers, on
a charge, of street walking,
: The accusation was preferred by their
brother, Frank Myers, of Franklin ave
nue. He claims that his sisters are way

cluded It was his duty to look after
them. The elder sister, iMrs. Smith, is

IIIS TROUBLES ARE LEGION.
J. H, Lalne Is Now In the Tolls for Being
Accessory to Gambling.
The quiver of some evil genius or
other appears to be loaded with darts
of misfortune for Lessee J. H. 'Lalne,

ble Is that of being held In- the sum of
$500 in his own recognizance to appear
this morning at 10 o'clock to then fur
nish a bondsman In that amount for
his appearance at the next term of
criminal court.
On the Fourth of July County Detec
tive Leyshoni arrested William Curtis
for operating a gambling device at the
park. Curtis received his permission
from Lalne on the basis of CO per cent,
commission.
The county detective learned this ard
swore out a warramt for Laine on t'hb
charge of being accessory to gambling.
At the hearing last evening before Al
derman Millar Curtis swore to being
hired by Lalne and in consequence the
latter was bound over.

SCRANTON A GOOD l'LACB FOR IT
Ample Opportaaltles Woald Be Afforded
Pupils to Get Practical Ksowledgs of
the Practice of Law Resolutions
Prepared by Bar Committee.
At a meeting of the Lackawanna bar
held yesterday af ternoon In the law li
brary of the court house an invitation
was extended to the Dickinson Law
school of Carlisle, this state, to locate
In Scranton.
The meeting was called to order by
ex-Justke Alfred Hand, president of
the Lackawanna Law and Library as
sociation, and Colonel Herman Ostbaus
acted aa secretary. Mr. Hand stated
the object of the meeting. He said the
institution Is a good one and has grown
rapidly during the mst five years. It
now has 100 pupils. The speaker then
requested the secretary to read from
The Tribune the order of the Supreme
court which allows graduates of the
institution to practice In that court. -
Continuing his remarks the speaker
said thalt H was desired that the bar
phould extend to the school an Invita
tion to locate in Scranton and guaran
tee the usa of the laiw library, under
proper restriction, to the pupils. The
Judges of the county had been seen,
tho ojieaker said, by Professor Lee, who
was In the city 4n the Interest of the
pchool, ami they had assured him that
the students would receive the same
privileges In this court as are extend
ed to like schools by other courts. A
place In th? court room would be as
stgned to the students so that they
could hear the trial of cases.
l aellltiesThey Will Need.
The school will need a lecture room
with a seating cajwelty of 200 and a li
brary room adjoining It. Besides a
number of other rooms will be needed.
Professor Lee told Mr. Hand that It was
one of the best schools In the country
and would bring albut $50,000 a year to
whatever city it Is located in, Harris
burg, Wllkes-Barre. AJtoona and this
city have beeni visited, but Scran
ton is at present considered the most
available place because of the oppor
tunity the county, United States and
Superior courts will give those who at
tend the school of observing the prac
tice of 'law in its various branches. Dr.
William Trlckett Is the dean of the
faculty of. the law school.
District Attorney John ;R. Jonss
thought that the school should be en
couraged to come to this city, as it
would tend to make this city the legal
cemterof northeastern Pemnsy 1 va n ia a nd
give us prominence In lines In which we
do not now possess It. T. V. Powderly
and C. B. Gardner were also strongly
In favor of having such a school locate
here. They considered It an excellent
way of acquainting the people of tho
country with the nature of Scranton's
business interests and Its advantages
because such a school would draw stu
dents from all parts of the country.
Grodiinto of Dickinson,
C. Balentine, a graduate of Dickinson
Law school, said that the matter of re
moving the school from Carlisle had
been under consideration for some
time, but it was not until now that the
Incorporators were prepared to act.
Since Professor Lee was In this city
the matter of securing a suitable build
ing bad been practically settled upon
and It the faculty was assured of the
hearty oo-opera.tion of the local bar the
speaker had little doubt that the school
would be located here in the fall.
City Solicitor James H. Torrey, after
an address In which he endorsed In
hearty terms the proposition to have the
school come to this city, moved that a
committee of five and President Hand
be appointed to draft resolutions invit
ing the school to come here and render
such further assistance In the matter as
might be found necessary. The motion
was unanimously adopted and the fol
inwtoi committee appointed: Presi
dent Hand. James II. Torrey, Herman
Oflthaus, C. Balentine, T. V. Powderly
and J. Alton Davis.
After the tneetlmg adjourned the com'
mltteo met and adopted the following
resolutions which will be forwarded
to Dr. Trlckett:
An Invitation Extended.
Whereas, It has been learned that
the Dickson Law school has In contem-
nlntlnn a removal to some larger place,
Resolved, That the said law BChool be
cordially Invited to locate In Scranton,
and that the hearty co-operation of the
bar of Lackawanna county be pledged
to said law school In the carrying out
of such changes as will be made nee
ossnrv hv its removal, and in the prose'
cutlon of the work of the school, there
fore.
Resolved, That the members of the
Lackawanna Law Library association
nresent at this meeting pledge to said
law school that its students shall have
the free use of the association's library
under such reasonable regulations as
its board of managers may prescribe.
DISTRICT CONVENTION.
It Will Ds Held st St. Pater's Hall,
Bellevae, on Sunday Next.
The Catholic Total Abstainers so
cieties of the Second district of the dio
cese of Scranton will assemble In con
vention Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
in St. Peter's hall, Bellevue.
Delegations from Wllkes-Barre and
other localities will be present In the
Interest of excursions to New Tork dur
ing the meetings of the national con
vention which will be held In August
next, In that city. Papers treating on
the subject of temperance will be read
by Mr. Mulhertn and Dr. W. F. O'Con
nor, of this city.
The election for a new board of offi
cers will also take place as the present
officials have served two years snd
wish to retire.
LOST ON THE CONTRACT.
Abutments for ths New Bridge Cost Mors
Than the Coatract Pries.
Muldoon A Bowie, the contractors for
the abutments of the Roaring Brook
and Linden street bridges, are exper
iencing much difficulty in constructing
the piers of the former bridge. Although
they were granted a six weeks' exten
sion of time, that period has elapsed
and they are still far from completing
their work.
The delay la caused by the difficulty
experienced In locating the foundation
for one of the central piers, near the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's
dam, Owing to the faot that the spot
Is covered with water and that the
ground Is composed of sand and cinders
It Is very hard work to reach a solid
foundation. The water has been let out
of the dam, but still three feet of water
covers the spot where the operations
are being carried on. , , . ;
The contractors will lose money on
the Job most likely. How much, they
will be out can not be estimated, but
If they do not soon have better luck
they, will Jose a vast amount of money.
They are, however, fortified! by bonds
men, snd the city or employes can not
surfer.
Their greatest loss will result from
having figured on the excavating for 29
cents a yard. The city engineer's es
timate allowed $1.00 for wet excavating
snd SO cents for dry. Muldoon
Bowls contracted to do both kinds for
ths sum of 29 cents a yard, which
lower than the engineer's estimate on
dry excavating. They are also liable
to a penalty of $10 a day for every day
the work remains unfinished after the
contract time expired.
THOSE PARK ADDITIONS.
The Aaasxstioa Project ao Nearer Cat
saisatloa.
It was expected last night that the
proposed annexation of either or both
the Canavan and Reynolds and Mo
Carthy tracts to Nay Aug park would
receive final consideration at the hands
of the park committee of aelect coun
ell, and that a report either favorable
or adverse would be ready for prewenta.
tlon at tonight's meeting of councils.
The Canavan tract of 18 seres was
offered for $26,000, and the Reynolds
tract of 10 1-5 acres for $10,000. Council
would not accept these figures, and was
about to kill the project outright when
a suggestion was made that the matter
be recommitted to the park committee.
Mr. Lauer, chairman of the park com
mlttce, wrote Mr. Canavan, asking him
if he would submit better terms. Mr.
Canavan agreed to meet the committee
and discuss the matter, and according
ly a meeting was called for last night
and Mr. Canavan Invited attend.
Ho did not put In an appearance, and
It Is as well that he did not for only two
of the five members of the committee.
Messrs Lauer and Wagner, were pres
ent. Messrs. Roche, Sanderson and
Lansing, the other members of the com
mlttee, are out of town. Mr. Reynolds
was present and exhibited a drawing
of his tract. Nothing, however, could
be done, and therefore there will be no
report presented to council tonight.
MRS. AUSTIN ARRESTED.
sno Keferrcd to Mrs. Murphy in Uube

The IMurphys and the Auntlns of the
Diamond Flats are the recognized lead
ers of society In that locality and they

teas, "private dinner parties," etc., un
in quite recently.
A daughter of each family was em
ployed in the culinary department of
Hotel Terrace. The Austin girl had
beau to call to see her and tho Murphy
girl had none. Miss Austin declared
that through a fiplrlt of envy Miss Mur
phy tried to alienate the affections of
her true love and that started the trou
ble.
The mothers took up the quarrel, and
the outcome was that Mrs. Austin
called Mrs. Murphy names, for which
the was arrested and brought before
Alderman Millar, who made her prom
sle not to call her nelgbors names for

ST LCOK TO GOVERNOR
Board of Pardoas Kill Not Meet
Again latil Oct. 16.
BEZCK KILL ASK F0K A RESPITE
Petltloa to ths Governor Will Be Pat la
Cireslatloa Frlday-Ressoas That
Will Be Laid Before the
Board of Pardons.
Notary Publlo George I Peck yester
day took the depositions of a few wit
nesses In behalf of Bezek; their testi
mony was in contradiction of some of
the testimony offered on the trial.
Attorney George M. Watson received
a telegram yesterday from Secretary
Gearhart, of the board of pardons, set
ting forth that there will be no meeting
of the board until Wednesday, Oct.
19.
There will be a petition circulated
among the wealthy and Indigent, high
and low, merchants and tradespeople
by Bezek's friends asking Governor
Hastings to grant a respite until the
case can be brought before the board
of pardons. The petition will be placed
in circulation next Friday.
An abstract of the reasons that will
be presented to the board of pardons
along with the depositions Is as follows:
Wss Friendless and Moneyless.
The defendant at the time of the com
mission of the offense and at the time of
the trial was friendless, moneyless, and
a stranger In a strange land and unable
to speak or understand the English or
German languages, or any other than
the Kranlsh dialect. He ihad no ac
quaintance who could correctly Inter
pret or translate the Kranlsh language
Into the English or German language,
and no one could be found at the trial
who could fully and correctly Interpret
the evidence of several Important wit
nesses on the part of the. common
wealth Into the English or German lan
guage.
Upon the trial several Kranlsh wit
nesses were sworn on the part of the
commonwealth, whose testimony an In
terpreter attempted translating Into
the German language, and another In
terpreter translated It from the Ger
man Into the English language. By
this process much of the testimony be
came mixed, confused and was Imner
fectly and Incorrectly given to the Jury.
Important Items thereof was misinter
preted to the court and jury.
Could Not Employ Counsel.
The defendant had no means with
which to employ counsel, which fact
becoming known to the court on Friday
preceding the Monday of the trial, the
court assigned counsel for the trial
which commenced on the following
Monday, which gave to the counsel only
three days' time to become acquainted
with the facts of the case and to make
preparation for the trial, which time
was wholly Inadequate for the pur
pose, thereupon the counsel applied to
the court for the continuance of the
case, which application was refused
The continuance asked for would have
delayed the trial for only a few weeks,
but would have given the defendant's
counsel time to lenm all the .facts In
the transaction and to have found a
competent Interpreter, and to have
made proper preparation for the trial.
The application having been refused,
the counsel were to go to trial unad
vised, uninformed and make blindly a
aeiense as oest tney could. Under those
circumstances the trial could not be
and was not a full and fair trial by due
course 01 inw.
It Was Not s Rleht.
