CASE GIVEN TO THE JURY
Yishoiski's Fate Is Now la the Hands
of the Jurors. '
CLOSING ARGUMENTS HEARD
M. A. McGlnley RcvioweJ tbo Cnsoforthe
Defendant and District Attorney Jonca
for tba Commonwealth -Judso Uun
tor's Charco Was Kthnustlvs.
Lackawanna county's forty-third
homicide case was given to the Jury of
twelve men, w ho heard all the evidence
in the case at 4.45 yester.luy afternoon,
when Judire UmiHler iMlH'ludfd his
charge. John Vlshnlskl. the 20-yur-old
Polish defendant, tried tor the munur
of Felix PuvMsak. on Fob. 19 ltiHt.nt
Maple street and South Wyoming ave
mut. South Side, waa the prisoner ut
the bar.
Attorney M. A. AlcUlnloy. his attor
ney, opened the argument for the de
fense when court convened yesterday
morning. He had not finished at noon
and resume.! at 1.S0. occupying not more
than thirty minutes of the afternoon
cession. Olstrlet Attorney Jones besim
for the common wealth at 2.80 and spoke
Hit hour and ten minutes. The eliarite
of the court took from 3.10 until 4.45, and
wan an exhaustive one.
'.McOlnley's stylo of address was
ur.imtrkcd by any embellishments or
veheineniv. He h)Kke In an easy, arini
iventntlve and logical manner, reviewed
the testimony very elaborately and pre
sented an IntolliKont mid convincing
plea for jit'Soluto aenulttal, m.ttittiilnlnir
that the shot was tired In self defense
and the killing done te save himself
from the ons'auithts of his furious as
sailants, whom he had JiutltluMe rea
son ;o four from the Met that he had
b.e:. nssaulteJ end stabbed only a Khort
while before In the saloon of Peter
Kesloleek.
I'omcUtuenU'd tli Plstrlct Attm ncv.
He complimented District Attorney
Jones for the fair and courteous treat
ment nisx rded to him during the trial,
lie tMltned to the jury that the com
monwealth was able to present Its side
of tic case with a preat decree of skill,
owing to the resources that can be
drawn upon. Mr. Jones was assisted,
he said, by two trlitbt young men, At
tnneys John J. Murphy and C O.
lentine. and by County 'Detisitlve l.ey
hor.. a skillful man. and Chief of Police
Sm'l'son and all the machinery of the
law.
He w.'iit over the testimony most
carefully end dwelt emphatically on the
statements of John Harkovitx. who
swore that he parted from them a Mock
away from the scene of the nmr lor, yet
at the moment Dnvtdzak was shot.
thse two men. by their own testimony,
were ptesent and caught the dying man
in their arms. Barkovitz told a story
that would convict Vlshnlskl. but it
was rrcven by other testimony that he
was swearing to a state of facts that
ould not exist. In summing up he
asUed the Jury for a verdict of acquit
tal, as the only reasonable deduction
that can be drawn from the evidence in
the caso.
District Attorney Jones argued for a
verdict of murder In the llrst degree.
He said the evidence fully warranted It.
The prisoner's deliberation In going
hivme for the revolver, coming out with
his brother-in-law. with no other object
In view than seeking trouble. The dis
trict attorney, referring to the testimony
of Theodore Swantac, or that part of
It where the witness admitted that
Chief of Police Simpson had paid his
fare from Chicago and had paid his
board while here, told the Jury that the
chief did this at his order.
Society's Welfare Demanded It.
The commonwealth had to go to this
expense for the protection of society.
Swantac could not be said to be a
biased witness against the defendant,
for he had been taken from Chicago
under constraint to testify for the com
monwealth. John Barkovitz, another
important witness, had to be put under
ball to appear at the trial. Neither of
these men could be said to be ready to
swear against the defendant, for they
were unwilling witnesses for the com
monwealth. Mr. Jones spoke In a very compli
mentary way of Chief Slmpsin and
vouched for him as a faithful and effi
cient public officer, only zealous for the
punishment of crime wiiere punishment
Is deserved, and anxious only for re
tributive Justice.
Judge Gunster first Imparted a care
ful and comprehensive explanation of
the law of Pennsylvania relating to
murder. The defendant. John Vlsh
nlskl. was chirgfd with the unlawful
killing of Felix Davldzak. That was
the first count In the Indictment; the
second count was voluntary man
slaughter. The court desired to Impress
on the minds of the Jury that malloe
Is the dlst!rsrulhlng criterion of mur
der. Voluntary manslaughter goes
very near to murder. iMallce, not In Us
ordinary acceptation, but In a legal
sense, distinguishes the fp-ade of the
crime.
A malicious person Is on? who 1s
hard-hearted. rerkU.'s and unmlnd''il
of social duty, one who hns In mind a
specific Intent to take human life. The
common law of England provided thct
when the life of a reasonable feature
living In the king's peace might be
killed, the one committing the crime
actuated wlih mall-e aforethought,
such an act was murd-r and the pen
alty was death.
Murder hlvldoJ Into dosrecn.
In WA by the act of (March SI, the
legislature of Pennsylvania made a lnw
that murder committed In a willful,
premedltate-d and deliberate manner,
by means of poison, lying In wall, or
with an ax, gun, knife, revolver or any
other deadly Instrument, or In the per
petration of biirrlary. rape, arson or
any felony, would be murder of the Prnt
degree, and the penalty thereof would
be deith. All other tnurder was dn.
fined as being of n lesser grade. Volun
tary manslaughter Is whero a person. In
the sudden heat of passion and unable
to control his mind, takes the life of
another without any premeditated In
tent. The law. Judge O-unster said, requires
the commonwealth to prove that
prisoner did the killing, then the pre.
sumption Is that the crime Is one of
murder In the second degree. To prove
a higher grade of crime -the common
wealth must show that the killing was
done willfully, deliberately and pre
medltatedly. The 'burden of proof Is
on the defendant to reduce the crime
from second degree to manslaughter.
The Jury heard the evidence, and It
was for them o say what the verdict
would be.
Judge Otinnter went over the evidence
very carefully. 'He passed upon the
fourteen law points submitted by the
defense and affirmed them all. If they
should 'have agreed the verdict will be
taken this morning.
IN OTIIKK COURTS.
Cases Heard He for Jndgs Snvldgo in No 2
Conrt Room and Judge Edwards.
The case ' of the commonwealth
against Patrick McDonnell, Patrick
Walsh and Patrick Larkln, Charging
aggravated assault and battery, was on
the most of the day before Judge Hav
Idge In court room .No. 2, and went to
the Jury at adjournment. Vlto Will
iams, an' Italian, was the prosecutor.
He testified that on April 16 last, while
he waa going to work at Spencer's mine
In Dunmore. he was attacked by the
three defendants and beaten by them
because he refused to give them some
totaoco. He was corroborated by two
or three witnesses.
Walsh and McDonnell swore that
they asked Wllllflrns for a chew, of to
bacco and he called them a vile, name,
and that he and others who were with
him attempted to strike them and as
sault them. The defendant! called sev-
eral business men of Dunmore. who
testified as to their previous good char
acter. Judge Savlde Instructed the
Jury to return a verdict of acquittal as
to Larkln, and that the evidence did nut
warrant a conviction for aggravated
nsiault and battery as to Wulsh and
McDonnell.
Antony Keturakls, Antony Keturakls,
Jr., and Joseph Kazlanckua were con
victed of assault and battery, George
Kuperunus was found not guilty, but

und battery. They were concerned In

avenue, In which Charles Black was

of assault and battery on lAndrew tfta
rliik. Judge Savldge let lilin off with a
sentence to pay tho costs.
James J. Fuhey and J. J. Callahan
