of being the youngest member of the state
legislature, being but 24 years old, and
since his election he haa frequently been
called the "baby of the legislature."
Thougji of humble birth he, by Industry
and pluck, combined with a realising sense
that "ur lives are what we make them."
he overcame seemingly insurmountable
obstacle, until at this time he Is rightly
considered one of the most promising
young laer. In this part of the state. Be
fore he was 8 years of age he began life
as a sine picker and paused successively
through all the grades of the mining in
dustry, being by turns a breaker boy, door
tender, vtver, foot tender, company hand
and laborer. After he went from the
breaker o the mines every spare moment
that cane to him was spent with useful
books aiid In the evening he attended
night school. Thus he advance! until at
the age i.f IS he opened a night school In
the banewort of tils father's house, where
he Impaited instruction to his compan
ions. A year later he left the mines and
entered k. grocery store, many of who-e
patrons were Slavs and Poles, and from
them he mastered their language flu
ently. He subsequently took a business
course at Wood's college, studied law, and
last year was admitted i0 the bar. He
was; also nominated fcy the Republicans

FERRETTQ'SjFATE IN DOUBT
Jury Had Not Agretd Upon Yer
diet at Midnight.
IT RETIRED AT THREE O'CLOCK
Closing Argument to the Jury by DUtrtct
Attorney Jones-Judge Arehbnld's
Charge-Explained What ConstlS5
tutcj IVgrcciof Murder.
Judge Archbald's charge to the Jury
in the Perretto murder case wus fin
ished at J.05 yesterday afternoon. It
occupied an hour and 10 minutes. The
fate f Pasquehi IVrretto was placed In
the hand of the Jury, and the twelve
men, good and true, were marshah-d
t their room in charge of TIpstulTs
flutto and Keller. Up to midnight they
had not agreed upon a verdict. ..
District Attorney Jones opened hla
argument for the commonwealth at
9.30 in the morning. He went care
fully over the evidence and reviewed
It logically to the minds of the Jury.
They had heard, he aUl, the defend
ant tried for the murder of Michael
lVmarko. The trial Judge Is one of the
fairest that could be found In this state,
and every opportunity was given that
a fair, honest and free trlstl should be
given to IVrretto. Sir. Jones Beoffed
the Idea of a conspiracy to convict the
defendant; such a ihlntr. he eald. hud
existence only In the minds of the de
fendant's counsel.
As to the l.awnf S-rtf-Ocfenco.
The law of self defense could not
have any weight, Mr. Jones said. In this
case, for it had been shown that IVr
retto left the scene of the quarrel to
arm himself and came back armed.
This the law does not allow. A per
son must not return to.a .light, and If
he does the plen of self-defense Is no
justification'.' The "motive - Herretto
could have for the murder and how he
could have formed a pr?met!:a'ted In
tent to kill was presented very clearly.
IVrretto was not Intoxicated, so that
his mind was befoggloUu he' waa sober
and 'responsible for his actions. He
saw his cousin. Peter Perretto, in the
midst of a f;".e light, being set upon
by John Corello and Michael 'Hleh, and
he went upstairs and armed himself.
There had been no er'"r"or.y on either
side to show that Jie.;rk-. the mur
dered man. was enga.te-1 the fltrht.
It was 1.55 before Jud?e ArrhhaM
began his charge to the jury. What
the Jury must consider, he said. Prst
of all was. did Pasfltieln Perretto kill
Michael Pomarko? If the defendant
had In his possession such weapons, a
revolver and stiletto, when he came
downstairs and Demarko was seen to
fall Immediately after Perretto ap
proached the doorstep, where Demarko
was standing. It would be a hard mat
ter not to conclude and Infer that the
defendant did the killing. Immediate
ly after Demarko fell, Perretto at
tempted to escape.
Said Perrcto Pid "ot lv Killing.
The defense had consistently main
tained throughout the trial that Per
retto did not do the killing at all: and
Judge Archibald touched lightly jn the
matter of self-defense, and advised the
Jury not to Fpend too fine a theory on
that branch of the ca-ie. The charee
of the court was directed mostly to
making clear to tne jury tne graue m
murder. Slallee Is the distinguishing
criterion of murder In the first degree.
The law regards the Infirmities of hu
man nature and certain conditions of
the mind constitute a palliation of the
crime, so as to reduce the degree.
If the act were done In the heat
passion on the sudden impulse- of the
moment, that would go far to discredit
the assumption that the murder wc.3
deliberate and premeditated. Tet,
Judge Archbald said, It would be dif
ficult for a person to use such a
weapon as the one that killed 'Michael
Demarko and aim It with such deadly
purpose at a vital point, lnflictlnjr cer
tain death, without having a specific
intent" to kill. The time and opportun
ity seem scanty for the formation of a
premeditated design to commit first
degree murder. The six law points
submitted by the defendant's cuuimtl
were affirmed.
IN THE OTHER COURTS.
Large Grist of Verdicts Taken After the
Murder Case Went to the Jury.
Jessie Hall, who was convicted for
selling liquor without a license and sell
ing on 'Sunday, was sentenced ty judge
Noyes; In 'the first case the sentence of
the court was a line or .(u, the costs
of prosecution and three months In the
county Jail; In the second case, a fine of
150, the costs and twenty days in Jail,
the second period of Imprisonment to
he computed at the end of the first.
For keeping a bawdy house, of tvhlch
offense ehe was acquitted, but directed
to pay half of the costs, the sentence of
the court was accordingly. Miss Hall
cried and created a great scene when
sentenced.
Felix Yanlskey was convicted of as
sault and battery and recommended to
the extreme mercy of the court. Ills
sentence was a fine of $5 and five days
In Jail. Judge Noyrs made absolute the
rule for a new trial In the case of the
commonwealth against Rig. Cohen and
Max Tomhack. The defendants were
found guilty yesterday of larceny by
bailee. John Murray was found guilty
of assault and fmttery upon the night
watchman at the Carbondale station gf
the Delaware and Hudson road, but
was recommended to the mercy of the
court.
Murray Was Acquitted.
The case of Thomas Murray, of Car
bondale, Indicted for assault and bat
tery upon Mrs. 'Llewellyn, look up only
brief epace of time before Judge
Noyes. 'Assistant District -Attorney
John IM. Harris represented the com
monwealth, andV Attorney James J.
O'Nell the defentlunt. Mr. O'Neill,
when the testimony of the prosecution
was ended, asked the court to Instruct
the Jury to find a verdict of .acquittal,
as there was not evidence enough to
warrant a conviction. Judge Noyes al
lowed the request and Murray was set
free.
Verdicts of not guilty were taken be
fore Judge Archhald In the main court
room after the iperretto homicide case
went to the Jury In eighteen cases that
had been marked down for trial this
week. The reasons for - the verdicts
were that some of the parties came to
a settlement, am In other cases the
prosecutors did not appear.
Costs placed on Tlcrncy.
The eases of fortune telling and keep.
Ing a bawdy house agalnnt Mary Ma
hon were called up, but the prosecutor,
John Tierney, wa out In the corridor
and did not hear his name called, al
though Crier Snyder could be heard
downstairs. A verdict of not guilty
was taken and .Mr. Tierney will have
to pay the costs, of course. The other
cases that ended In a like manner were:
John Griffin, Clarence Depew, Louis
Glabb, nuisance: W. . eltihart,,lur

ier, pointing firearms; (Henry Hoar,
urety and desertion.

day and without a license. He pleaded
guilty to the latter charge and a ver
dict of not guilty was taken In the for
mer. .
mer. A sentence of three months In
the county Jail and $500 was .Imposed
on him. 1
Daniel Modoncgal and Michael Toole,
two young men indicted for statutory
burglary, they having broken Into Mc
Donough's saloon on the West Side,
were called up before Judge Archbald
and plead guilty. Ex-Judge Ward,
their attorney, made a strong plea for
Judicial clemency and they were let off
with a fine of II and Imprisonment in
the county Jail for six months.
The case of murderous assault
against James 'Dean, oi the West Side,
was called before Judge Noyes, but the
judge received a telegram from home
summoning him without delay, and
therefore the case did not go to trial,
but will come up next Tuesday. Iean
struck a young ly named Davis on
the head with a base ball bat and al
most killed him.
The Jury that heard the case against
the seven Polish women from the Flats
who were chnrged with receiving stolen
goods and Inducing young boys to steal,
could not agree and Judge Craig let
them go their several ways, that Is, the
jurymen. The women will have to be
tried again.
ChargcJ with Stealing Potatoes.
. In court room No. 3 Oscar Rlackmore
was tried for stealing forty bushels of
potatoes from a freight car on a switch
on the 'Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western railroad on West Lackawan
na avenue. The car of potatoes was
owned by Huckster Fred Tletie. Thi
Jury went out to Bee whether Oscar
stole the potatoes or not and had not
returned with their verdict at adjourn
ment. Jasper Lowry, of Jermyn. was put on
trial for selling liquor on Sunday and
selling to minors. The prosecutor was
one George Franklin.- The defendant
tried to prove that It was a spile action
and no foundation to the charges.
Franklin, It vs testified, once stole a
dog and was arrested and brought be
fore the defendant's father, who was
thin a Justice of the pence of Carbon
dale township. This was given as the
animus of the prosecutor. A nol pros

anked for u continuance, but court re
fused the ri quest and said the case
must be tried next week, providing the
district attorney feels it convenient to
call It.
VERDICT A(.UKi:i) IT0X.
Potter Jury Cnmo to a Conclusion at S
O'Clock Vcsterday Afternoon.
Judge Lynoh delivered his chnrgp to
the Jury yesterday In the trespass case
of Oeorge V, Potter against lite Pcran
ton Tinction company, and at 11.30 the
case was given to the Jury. It agreed
upon a verdict at R p. m. and sealed It.
This morning It will be brought into
court.
The charge consisted of a careful re
view of the testimony and an exposition
of the law relating thereto. Among
other things he said: "The law is that
no matter how negligent the defendant
may have been, If the plaintiff is also
negligent he cunnot recover. The plain
tiff has trstlficd that he had for many
years driven through the streets of
Dunmnre nnd that his horses had many
times passed the repairing tower erect
ed on wagons and were not frightened
thereby. Then there Is the question of
the character of the horses. Were they
gentle and well-broken? nn cross-examination
'Mr. Potter testified that
once several years before one of the
horses had run away.
"If the horses were not gentle and
well-broken then the plaintiff cannot
recover, no matter haw he may have
suffered. If, however, the horses were
gentle and w?ll-broken he had a right
to drive them ty the appliance. Then
there Is the qui'.vtion whether Sir. Pot
ter could have seen this appliance,
which he himself says was of a nature
to frighten horpes. In time to avoid it.
If he could and did not do so then he
is gir'lty of negligence.
"If you decide." said the Judge, "that
the plaintiff Is entitled to damages you
have then to fix the amount. To deter
mine this yon must take Into consid
eration the plaintiff's physical condi
tion previous to the accident. Accord
ing to the Carlisle tables. If he was
sound physically at the time of the ac
cident, he could expect to live about
nineteen years. Yet this Is a poor thing
to decide unon. There can be no cer
tainty how long a man will live after a
given time. You must take Into con
sideration the nature of the injuries
and you may compensate him for his
lows of earning power, for his disfigure
ment, for meiienl services, for nurslnjr,
and you may rive him fair and reason
able compensation for these, but It Is
not the Intent of the law that the com
pany shall be punished,"

Norrlstown, Pa., Oct. It. (A young

the new woman.
They pummeled and mauled him over
