TITUS AREJ9T AFFECTED
Statcmcat Made la Kepablicaa About
Clark Summit Lots Poise.
WHAT MR. HARMON HAS TO SAY
Uo Shows That Ihr. Ulram Nichols' Will
CoulJ la So Way Affect Their Title
to Land at Summit Park
aad Lorraine.
In Its report of the finding In the
register of w.'lls' office of the caveat
ai'iir.' C the ftrcbating of the will of the
late Dr. Hiram Nichols, of CUrk's Sum
mit, and the effect that a contest
against the will might have on the title
to the property owned by Dr. Nichols,
the Ftepublican yesti-rday morning
among other thU.es said:
"The greater part of the portion of the
estate that -was sold wont to wood
Harmon & Co., and they have erected
It into ImiMinir lots, many of which
have been sold. The caveat to strange'
ly discovered nuts into question the
title of every one of the lota sold by
Wood. Harmon & Co. However. It
should toe said that the purchasers of
these lots have ro rewson to feci
alarmed, as Wood, Harmon & Co. ml
the courts will iirobably iirotcct them
in their rights."
E. U Harmon-, manager of the local
office of Wood. Harmon Co., spoke ns
follows to a Tribune reporter yesterday
In discussing the matter:
Docs Mot Affect Titles.
It Is not true that the flling of the
caveat 'nuts into question the title of
every one of the lots wKl by Wood, Har
mon St Co.' In the first vlace the tract
known as Summit Park Annex was
rot bought of the Nichols estate lit all.
We purchased that from 'Mrs. Louisa
Llnday, formerly Mrs. Carr. and the
title to thts tract was never fc the
Nichols.
'The Summit Park tract of forty-four
acres situated on the west side of the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
railroad, the fir property put on the
market -by Wood. Harmon & Co., was
bought of Asa Nichols and wife. This
property was deedej to them by Dr. Hir
am Nichols in 1SS5 and was part of hU
own estate ur.d not of the separate es
tate of Sarah Nichols. So the will of
Dr. Nichols will have no bcarla'sr cm the
title to this property at all. The title
came to Asa Nichols ami wife ty deed
and rot by will, and nobody disputes
Dr. Nichols right to deed this tract.
Vnieh was his own property In his own
right.
Sold by Order of Court.
'The Lorraine tract was part of the
land soM 'by direction of the master, J.
Alton Davis and order of court. At the
FjJe of this property James Nlc-hols
himself made a bid, tout it was too low.
Yesterday he received J5.40O. which he
nocepted as his share of the proceeds of
the sale. At any rate he could not dis
pute the title to the lard whatever ho
might do In regard to his claim an. the
money arising from this sale.
"The only tract In question cow, and
upon which the finding of this caveat
can have any bearing- is a strip of aibout
thirty acres t'hat has not been sold and
which Is claimed by the four heirs, who
hold title to it under Dr. N!choJ!' win.
This tract has to connection with the
Lorraine tract and Is separated from It
by Highland park.
Wood, Harmon A Ox's attorney, A. J.
Cclborn, said In relation to the story
printed In the Republican:
"That part of the article relating to
thn title of Wood, Harmon A Co. to the
Jirvi they have purchased and sold at
Clark's Summit la false and untrue li.t
every respect. There are o better and
safer titles than those Wood, Harmon; &
Co. have to the tracts of land they have
purchased. Their first piece of land
was known as "SummJt Park" and that
was conveyed toy Dr. Hiram Nichols to
Flora A. Nichols, wife of Asa A. Nich
ols, and afterwards conveyed by Flora
A. and Asa A. Nichols to Wood, Har
mon A Co. The next piece they opened
up was purchased from Mrs. Lindsay,
formerly wife of Omey Carr, and was
called Summit Park Annex.
Had No Interest In ths Land.
"Now. Hiram D. Nichols, at 1he time
Wood, Harmon- A Co. purchased these
two tracts, did .not -have any interest
whatsoever In either of them, and no
trotter how many wills of Hiram Nich
ols may be found, none of them could.
In any way affect the title of Wood,
Harmon A Co. The title to "Lorraine."
the new place opened by Wood, Harmon
c so is xne Desi ime that any one

tate or saran Nichols, deceased, ind
upon a partition of her estaite was by
order of court conveyed to Mrs. Flora
A. Nicholn Mrs. rMary A. Davis and

In the county commissioners' ofnee are

are notable literary productions. Mr. Hoar
possesses a terse, idiomatic style that

In this "Chlmmey Fadden" aire of liter

thus relates the Indignities the defend

sidewalk of his body." In another tran
script It is stated that the defend.
made an assault and battery on deponen
by throwing rotten eggs at deponent) till

odor." In the following statement of the
cause of action in the cose of Koon vs,
Hwartz, the learned chief justice of the
Eighteenth ward is at his best: "He
committed on assault anil battery by strlk
Ing him on the left optic with his right
mauler, and fetching him one with his

stars of the most brilliant divers hues,
knocking him completely off his pins and
causing him to lay limp and senseless un

THE ARREST OF VISKISKIE
i
Manner la Which He Was Takea Iato
Castody ia Baffalo.
WAS REARRESTED IN THIS CITY
Aotloa Taksa to Avoid Aat Possible
Technicalities That Might Be Raised
Evidence at the Preliminary Hear
ing Before Aldermaa Fuller.
Owing to the absence from tihe city
of Akletitman Millar, who issued the pa
pers In the Vkintekte catte, and to pre
vent dvlay or possible Inaccuracy In the
committment. District Attorney Jones
decided to have him rearrested, and yes.
terda? evil the formalities of an arrest
and committment were again gone
through with.
A warrant was Issued by Alderman
Fuller, charging Vlsnlskle with murder,
and ha was duly served with the process
at the county Jull. where he had been
pla-d for afe keeping. In the cus
tody of three officers he was taken to
Alderman Fuller's office and confronted
with tite evidence of John Barkowltz,
who swore thia.1 Vlsnlskle not only did
the Bhot.tlnir. but that he returned to
h!s borm? after the light, efcured a re
volver and souirht out Ills victim.

kowskl. his brother-in-law, and another
man emerged from the oiley between
Wyoming mini AVrwhliVElton avenue.
and as the Yfcnlkte party passed them
VlsnlE'kle suddenly wtieeled, took
deliberate aim and tired the fatal shot.
What Vbinisklo Says.
This Is In total variance with the etory
which Vlsniskle gives. He says that
the shooting took place during the free
tight eaiT.fr in the evening, and that he
was attacked with knives before he
did the shooting. At the hearing he had
nothing ito ay, having betin directed by
his attorney, -M. A. MoQlnley, to keep
& eloped mouth.
Coroiwr Kelley was the only other wit
nti3. His testimony waa simply a
c:al of the proceedings of the livqueslt
The aJdierman committed Vlsnlskte to
await trl-al, and about noon he was
tak.Mi back to th.? county Jail.
Vlsnlskle's apprehension in Buffalo
was brought about in a rather singular
manner. He was vorltlng on a far:r
about elg-hteen miles from Buffalo and
was In the Wj'blt of visiting some ac
quaint-ances In the -Polish quarter of
Buffalo. One day last month a Poland
er who knew is-mskie in cran:on, saw
him on the street and having heard of
the murder sought out a Polish police-
rrtin whom he knew and Ir.formtd him
of his discovery. The next time that
Vlsnhkle m-ade one of his periodical
visits to Buffalo, the Polish policeman
in titlzens clothes and accompanied by
his Informant watched ifor him. He
was pointed out to the officer, who ap
proached htm, extended his hand, and
Mid: "How are you, Vlsnls-ltie?"
Thought It Was His Cousin.
Visnlskle, as he told afterwards,
thought the officer to be his cousin-
whom he resembled, and whom he had
not seen since he left Poland for liuf-
falo many years ago. He became very
conlldentlal and did not mis.rust the
new found ifrtend un'til he was con.
fronted with his own photograph, with
"Joseph VlsnUkle, murderer," printed
underneath.
Two other officers who were con.
ce-aled near'by were signaled for and
VisnlEkle was. placed under arrest. He
went peaceably . along to the station
house, and on the way thUther related
how he had thought the officer was his
cousin and also admitted that he did
tho shooting, eaylmg, as reported above,
that it was in self-defense.
