Murderer Joseph Boschino was re
fused a new trial and Judge Ounster
yesterday morning sentenced him to
be hanged. The crime of which he was
convicted was the cold-bloodfd and

Confortl went up the same path tra

about twenty feet or so from the wagon
road from which the path diverges,
Boschlnn stepped out from behind
clnmn of laurel bushes and shot him.
killinir him Instantly. He fired two
shots Into his vl tlm's body anj then ran
away, firing from his revolver as he
was escaping down the wagon road.
Th murdered man uttered one shout
of asony and fell dead. The bullet
pierced his heart.
Boschino remained In hiding for two
weeks, and was captured at the house
of an Italian In Forest City at the end
of that time. He was tried at the
January sessions. 1SP5. of oyer and ter
miner court. I't was the first murder
case In which 'District Attorney John
R. Jorn.es took part by virtue of his of
fice. Attorneys Ward & Horn and L. P.
Wedemnn represented the defendant.
The trial of the case before Judge Gun
str took up twelve days and a verdict
of murder In the first degree was re
turned by the Jury.
'Immediately a rule for a new trial
was frranted: the rule was argued he
fore the succeeding a re u men t court,
the rhree Judges on the bench. The de
cision of the cou-rt was that Boschino
had a fair trVal and was not entitled to
a new one: He was brought down from
the county Jail yesterday morning and
he took his place before the bar of Jus
tice, in discharging the rule for a new
trial Judge Guirster said he would be
pleased to give 'Boschino a second trial
If the first had exceeded the bounds of
Justice, but the court Was convinced
tvrat the verdict was a Just one and It
should not be disturbed.
Sentence of Death Pronounced.
The murderer was asked If he had
aught to say why the sentence of the
court should not be pronounced upon
him according to law. Attorney George
S. Horn, his counsel, replied that Bos
chino cannot talk English. Judge Gun-t-ter
then pronounced sentence as fol
lows: "The sentence of the court !s that you,
Joseph Boschino, be taken hence to the
Lackawanna county prison, there to re
main until the time shall be fixed by
executive warrant for your execution;
that then you be taken to the place of
execution within the walls or yard of
said prison, and there to be hanged by
the neck until you be dead: and may
God have mercy upon your soul."
The upreme court will be appealed to
and the arguments will be made next
February, when the higher court meets
to hear appeals from Lackawanina
county.
Judge Gunster's voice trembled and
he seemed much affected when pro
nouncing" the death sentence. If Bos
chino understood the terrible Import of
the words uttered, his face pave no evi
dence of the fact. The law directs that
the governor shall fix the date for the
execution, but it Is not likely that -he
will name a day until after the supreme
court has passed upon the case.
VISIIMSKI MURDER CASE.
Young Man on Trial for Killing Foil
Davldrnk on Kcb. 9 Lost.
John Vishnlskl was put on trial be
fore Judge Gunster In the main court
room yesterday morning for the mur
der of Felix Davldzak, on South Wash
ington avenue; on the night of Feb. 9,
1SH3. The defendant Is a handsome
young Pole, who has not yet reached his
twenty-first year. He was neatly, even
stylishly attired yesterday, and sat nt
the defendant's table along with his
attorney, M. A. McGinley, without a
shade of care or anxiety depicted on
his face. By his side was his sister and
her husband, Alexander .Jankowskl.
She showed far more anxiety concern
ing the trial than did her brother. .
About 10.30 the prisoner was ar
raigned and the task of securing a Jury
entered upon. Fifty-four Jurors were
called before twelve men. competent
to try the case, were secured. There
were the usual number of men who had
conscientious scruples against capital
punishment, and who had fixed opin
ions concerning the murder that evi
dence could not shake. Twenty-two
Jurors were challenged for cause, ten
were stood aside and twelve challenged
by defendant. At 3 p. in. a Jury, con
sisting of the following, had been se
cured: Benjamin Smith, farmer, Scott; Jacob
Walz, car Inspector, Scranton: James
S. Quick, carpenter, Scranton; William
Meade, farmer, Orepnflcld; Morton S.
Gardner, tax collector, Scott; Henry
Henltz, laborer, Scranton; Arthur Has
lam. clerk. Scrariton: Senh Wrlgley,
carpenter, Biranton: It. W. Woodworth,
bookkeeper, Scranton; D. W. Wylle,
bookkeeper, Taylor; John F. Cawley,
conductor, Dunmore; 'J. W. Lally,
miner, Archbald.
Cone Opened for Commonwealth.
Attorney C. E. Bahnlne opened -the
case for the commonwealth. He said
that on -the night of Feb. 9 last a num
ber of Polanders wTe assembled, In the
saloon of Peter Kozlalyak, on South
Washington avenus. Among thnne
present were John VlshnJskl, the pri
soner; John IDavldzak and Felix Davld
lak, brothers, and Alexander Jankow
skl, with whom Vishnlskl boarded. All
were drlnWIng beer and presen-tly a
fight started, John Vishnlskl seeming
determined to cause a disturbance. The
Davldzaks took no part whatever dn
the quarrel.
After the disturbance had subsided
Alexander Jankowskl started for home
and was followed by Vishnlskl, whose
sister is Jankowskl's wtife. The ac
cused boarded there and arriving at his
home VMinlskl went o his room and
secured his revolver and against the
entreaties of his sister, who thought he
meditated trouble, prepared to go out
again. At -his request Jankowskl ac
companied Vishnlskl and they slarted
back to Peter Kosialyak's saloon. On
the way to that place they met Felix
Davldzak. James Swantac and others
on their way home. Words were ex
changed by Swantac and Vlshntskl,
and Davldzak told t lie in nut 40 quarrel.
By way of. reply, to Mils peaceful re
mark" Vishnlskl drew out Ms Revolver,
and shot tavldzak inHhe-tnjdomen,
causing his death In about ten min
utes. After the murder Vishnlskl fled,
but was captured In 'Buffalo a short
time ago and brought back to this city
for trial.
Explained the Law to the Jury.
Attorney Balenitlne's opening address
was an excellent presentation of the
facts In the case, and he closed by ex
plaining to the Jury the law with re
gard to murder and what the law speci
fies as murder in tiie first. After the
Jury had heard -the evidence the com
monwealth had to offer, he paid they
would expect a verdict of murder In the
ilrst degree.
Coroner J. A. Kelley was the first
witness called by the commonwealth
and described the wound In the abdo
men which cauwed Davidzak's death.
It was caused by a bullet from a re
volver. He traced the built through
the Intestines back to the region of the
spine, but did not succeed In locating
the liullct. and it was not therefore
possible to produce It In court.
On cross examination Attorney Mc
Glnley questioned the coroner minutely
with a view to ascertaining If It was
not possible that the wound had been
made with a knife. The coroner denied
that such a thing was possible and ex
plained the- condition he found
which Induced him to believe that It
was a bullet from a revolver that
caused death.
An Insntlsfnctory Witness.
Joseph Teresslevltz was next sworn.
He boarded In the same house with Da
vldznk at the time of the murder and
proved a most unsatisfactory witness.
At the coroner's request he talked free
ly about the murder, but yesterday
professed to know nothing, and District
Attorney Jones openly charged that he
had been tampered with. Judge Gun
ster was evidently of the same opin
ion, for he said Teresslevltz, though
apparently unwilling to talk, would
have to tell nil he knew about the case
before they were through with him.
DLstrlot "Attorney Jones wrestled with
him for half an hour, 'but elicited no In
formation other than thit he was In
Kozlalyak's saloon prior to the murder
and saw the trouble there. He also
saw Dnvldzak when he was dead. This
morning he will be cross-examined by
Attorney MoOlnley.
It Is evident the prosecution will have
a ditllcuM task In getting the real facts
with regard to the killing from the wit
nesses, n.3 they appear to be anxious to
shield Vishnlskl.

GALLOWS FOR LACKAWANNA
Model of One Used In Carbon Coanty
' Has Been Secured. 1
SIMILAR ONE WILL BE BUILT
Carbon Instrument Has a Capacity for
Launching Five Men Into F.ternlty at
a Time and Ours Will Have
Accommodations for Three.
Scranton seems destined to have a
legal hanging bee or two, and the
county commissioners and sheriff are
getting ready for it that is, they are
getting ready If there is any evidence
from the fact that the county oflicers
have been "reading up" on gallows,
and have secured a model of one of
those beautiful Instruments which
swung live iMolly Magulres Into etern
ity In Mauch Chunk some years ago.
Commissioner S. W. Roberts and
Sheriff F. H. demons went to Mauch
Chunk yesterday to look at a model of
the Carbon county death machine. The
model was made several years ago by
a prisoner, and Carbon county otilclnls
praised the gallows' work so highly
that Sheriff demons secured the loan
of the model, nnd brought It to this city
last night. The sheriff Is constrained
to move rapidly In the matter, as Bez'ek
Is booked for departure from this world
Nov. 6. unless the board of pardons
interfers, and Iloschlno was put in the
gallows column yesterday. Another
murderer, Rosa, has been found guilty
of murder in the first degree, but has
not been sentenced.
The model of the Molly Magulre gal
lows Indicates that the big original
was a pretty thing as gallows go
and has a capacity of swinging five
fouls out of as many bodies at one
clip. .Sheriff demons doesn't admire
gallows, but he thinks that one con
structed on the lines of the Carbon
county machine, capable of handling
three condemned men at a time, would
about fit the murder market of Laeka
w'unna county, nnd he will have one
built. The model shows two big. wood
en Vs placed with the apex upward,
with a heavy beam running between
the top of each Inverted V. The beam
from which the condemned will hang Is
fourteen feet from the ground. About
midway between the beam and the
ground will be built a wooden platform
with three double trap doors In It. If
It Is found necessary to execute three
prisoners at once, one will be placed
over each of the traps, bolts will be
drawn from beneath and the' bodies
will drop until within a foot or so of
the ground and nature will do the rest.

Steohen Druck. who wns severelv In
