WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Two Fifteen Year Olds Arrcstad for Ploy
"' lag Marbles on Sunday-Walter j
, Evans and Miaa Howloy Married)
' Two . 15-year-old lads were arrested
last nlRht on an unusual charge; that
of breaking the Sabbath and disturbing
the peace of the community. Edward
Gannon and Thomas Flrnton are the
boys. They were playlnff marbles at 9
o'clock under the electric light at the
corner of Swetland street and Rebecca
avenue. The game became unduly ex-
) citing;, and the boys vented their ex
uberance in a manner which destroyed
the peace of mind of the quiet neigh-
Iborhood.
Officer Peters and Constable Jones
heard the noise at a distance of several
blocks. The arrest was made and the
young fellows were placed In the VVeBt
Bide station house. Alderman Blair
was called and a hearing was given the
i prisoners at 9.30 o'clock. The alderman
' had never tried a similar case, .but he
though a $5 tine would appease the
restful neighborhood, and incidentally
punish the boys, though the parents
will be called upon to pay the amount.
At 11 o'clock the lads were still in the
station house.
Married at Shlokshtnny.
"Walter Evans, of this side, a well-
known street car conductor, and Miss
'' 1 Cora Rowley, of the North End. were
quietly married on Thursday at the
Presbyterian church in Shickshlnny.
Rev. Wilbert Mackay performed the
ceremony. After the wedding a recep
tion was held at the home of Mrs. Com
pllned. an aunt of the bride, who lives
In Shickshlnny. Mr. Evans has a large
aggregation . of -friends on this side.
Miss Rowley is a daughter of Street
Car Conductor Rowley. She is well
known in the North End, and Is held in
high esteem. Mr. and Mrs. Evans are
at present living on North Hyde Park
avenue.
Cleaning the Prison House.
The West Side station house, official
ly known' as "the headouarterS of the
I Second police precinct, has received an
overhauling, which makes it a comfort-
' able place for prisoners. The ceiling
has been papered In a neat design and
the walls have received new coverings
In the shape of light colored paper.
The place looks less cheerless and more
inviting than it did previously.

SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Michael Battle and Michael O'Holleran
Are In Jail Charged With Abasing Their
Respective Families-Other Notes.
Tailor Ttficliaet Battle, of ' Lavelle
court and Birch street, was locked up
In the Alder street station at 3.30 last
evening on several charges, the most
serious being his attempt to kill his
wife with an ax. He returned home at
sunpertlme after a : debauch j in the
afternoon and proceeded With' a. ven
geance to-demolish the household ef
fects. He first attacked the furnishings
of a room upstairs and desisted not
until he had destroyed everything but
the walls. His family made no effort
to. stop his drunken fury, but sent a
messenger after the police. Patrolmen
iiolantl and Coleman arrived and they
found Battle still engaged in hlS war
on the furniture. He had sufficient
time before the officers reached tno
house to leave it in almost as bad a
condition as If a cyclone had -passed
that way. Every pane of glass was
broken and the doors were reduced to
kindling wood. Battle was shotittng at
the toa of his voice that he ha a re
volver and would shoot the first one
that interfered with him. When, he
was arrested and searched no firearms
wer found in his possession. -This is
not the first nor the tenth time that
the prisoner has been deprived of his
liberty for the same offense. When
ever he gets drunk, which is usually as
often as he can get money to buy
liquor, he makes a demand upon his
wife to restore to him the property now
in her name: she refuses, and the out
come is a housebreaking engagement.
Another Wife floater in the Toils. ,
TiWknmlth Michael O'Holleran. of
Cedar avenue. In the Twentieth ward, a
cliYonlc wlfe-beater, was arrestee; at a
o'clock Saturday evening by Patrolmen
Flaherty and George Jones, for abusing
his family In a brutal and shameful
manner. A message came to the Aider
street station from Mlnooka store early
Saturday evening asking that a, couple
of policemen be sent out to take pharge
of O'Holleran or that he might commit
murder. His 18-year-old daughter,
Mary, is so ill that her death is feared,
and with savage and unnatural cruelty
he caught hold of her and attempted
to drag her from her dying bed. Some
of the netRhboring men came In and
with cowardly haste he tied. The police
captured him on Cedar avenue an hour
later and brought 'him to the central
station, where he was given a hearing
and held under ball in the sum of $!0Q
to appear at court. His family Is sadly
neglected. His wife was too ill to ap
pear against him. Last night he sent
word to her, begging her to withdraw
the charges and promising to reform.

ROSA mi A COT TRIAL
Was Convicted o Murder of the First
Degree Last April.
HE KILLED YITO LAUISS0
Jodf e Edwards Grants Him a New Trial.
Disagreement la the Hardware Firm
of Yoos Doylo -Golden Jury
Coald Not Agree.
Judge Edwards handed down an
opinion Saturday morning granting a
new trial to Leonardo Rosa, the Italian
convicted of murder in the first degree
for the crime of killing Vito Lauisso, a
fellow countryman, at Dunmore on the
morning of Feb. 28 last. The prisoner
was tried at the April sessions of oyer
and terminer court, and on the 15th
of that month the Jury brought In Its
verdict.
Laulsso's body, riddled with bullets,
was found at 5 a. m. on Feb. 28. by some
men on their way to work. The corpse
was partially Imbedded in a sheet of
tee on the sidewalk on "Duck." or
Willow street, Dunmore. The man had
been dead about three hours and when
he fell there was a pool of water where
he lay: the winter temperature froie
the water around him.
Suspicion at once pointed to Rosa,
for he, with Pasquale Bevalaqua, Jo
seph Fablano and Cermlnore Salvatore,
had. gone to the house of Leopoldo
Nlcotera, where the dead man boarded,
and they roused him out of bed at 9
o'clock the night before and persuaded
him to go out carousing with them.
Lauisso and Rosa were not on friendly
terms, and it was said that the prison
er was heard prior to the murder to ex
press a desire to let his victim's blood
How. Money matters were the cause of
the strained relations existing between
them.
' The Night of the Murder.
After the Italians had left Nlcotera's
house that night, fetching Lauisso but
with them, they visited the saloons and
wound u; an hour after midnight at
the house of Bartholomew Corbo, where
Rosa and the other three men boarded.
Rosa went out with Lauisso to see
hem home and the presumption was
that they quarrelled over $40 owed by
Lauisso to Rosa, and that the former
met his death.
Soon after Rosa was lodged. In Jail
Frank Agl), an Austrian detective, was
sent ud on the charge of being drunk
and disorderly; he was put In the snme
cell and on a confession made to him
by Rosa, a strong chain of circumstan
tial evidence was forged. District At
torney John R. Jones and his law
partner, T. V. Powderlv, represented
the eommonwealth in the trial and
Rosa's attorneys were Ward & Horn,
James J. II. Hamilton and John O. Mc
Askie. The case was a notable one, it
was the first time a defendunt was
found guilty of murder in the first de
gree on circumstantial, evidence. At
the June session of argument court
the application for a new trial was
heard.
When word was sent up to the county
jail Saturday morning at 9 o'clock or
dering the prisoner to be brought down
to court there was fear and trepidation
in his breast; he-expected that his
doom was sealed and that sentence was
about to be pronounced upon him.
Rosa, of the three men tried and found
guilty of murder In the first degree,
had been the most dejected and dis
consolate; but when the news was made
known to him Saturday that another
chance has been given to hlmj it trans
formed him into a cheerful and exceed
ingly loquacious man. In contrast to his
former sullen and reticent mood.
After he got hack to the Jail he In
formed the keepers that the courts are
all right, that he had done nothing for
which he should be In Jail, and he
confidently expects at the second trial
to be acquitted. Extracts from the
opinion granting the new trial are here
appended :
Reasons for Grsnting the Now Trial.
It will be remembered that there was no
eye witness to the actual shooting of the
deceased. Mrs. Nlcotera, one of the main
witnesses for the commonwealth, saw him
attacked by the drfondant and othara in
front of her home; she saw him dragged
along the road until he was out of sight
and Immediately heard several pistol
hots. He was found dead upon the high
way the next morning. There was evi
dence of threats made by the defendant
against the deceased prior to the shoot
ing, and the defendant made several con-
traillctory statements on the next and
subsequent days. Outside of the testi
mony of the detective there was sufficient
evidence to go to the Jury on the question
of murder In the first degree.
The detective was placed In the cell of
the defendant at the county jail. They
spent four days together, and here the
defendant told the story or his crime.
His confession was, in substance, that
the deceased owed him some money which
he refused to pay and that after dragging
him up the street he shot him. He also
said that the revolver was concealed be
tween the rafters on the top of a wall In
a cellar basement of a house In Dunmore.
After receiving this Information the dis
trict attorney, the county detective, Chief
or roiice (Simpson, omcer . Lewis and
Prank Agll, visted Dunmore, and found
derennant s revolver in the place Indicat
ed by him, which was strong corrobora
tive testimony of the truth of the confes
sion. While there was sufficient testi
mony to go the Jury on the whole In
dictment, outside of the confession, we
cannot escape the -conclusion -that the
confession with the striking corroboration
'that followed it In the finding of the re
volver, must naturally have produced a
convincing effect In the minds of the Jury.
It is Impossible to say whether the Jury
In arriving at a verdict discarded the con
cession and considered only the evidence
in the case, or whether the confession
was a controlling influence in their
minds.;' ; i $ " ' ;.'
, The rest of the. opinion deals with the
depositions of Detective Agll rend at the
argument for a new trial. Agll, . In his
affidavit, said that he had not told at
the trial all he knew about the case.
He had not said . that Rosa charged
Lauisso with making an attack upon
him with a scissors.
Wants Partnership Dissolved.
Attorney E. C. Newcorr.b. represent
ing Charles A. Yoos', began proceedings
In equity Saturday against James If.
Doyle and Attorney J. Elliot Ross. The
plaintiff asks for a decree declaring the
copartnership of Yoos &.Doyle null and
void, and ordering the defendants to
pay him what may appear to be due on
settling the accounts of the firm. The
bill of equity recites that the plaintiff In
Janu.ary.lS94, entered Into an agreement
with James B. Doyle,, one of the defend
ants, to form a copartnership with him
In the business of tlnsmithlng,. plumb
ing, gas fitting and general trade In
.stoves and such goods in the firm name
of Yoos & Doyle.
' On or about November 18, 1895, the
plaintiff waited upon his partner and
, asked to be allowed, to see the books of
the firm, but was refused. Upon Inves
tigation the plaintiff has learned that
an attempt has been made, as he verily
believes, by the defendant; 'to defraud
the plaintiff of his Interest. In the stock,
and to secure the same to said .Ross,
the firm's attorney, by means of putting
In judgment a firm debt by proceedings
recently had before Alderman Fuller.
The plaintiff furthe says that the
assets of said partnership are valuable,
the book accounts alone amounting to
upwards of 115.000, of which at least the
sum of 110.000 is collectable. .That dur
ing the last two years the plaintiff has
received from Said business only the
sum of S39141 and. the. said .Doyle has,
asld- from that sum -received the
entire income. ''- ' ; 'i

The Jury that had in hand the case of
Mrs, Elisabeth Pnyder against et -Councilman
Patrick Oolden for a bill of $100
for R,oeo Edmund Bartl cigars, could not
agree after ' being deliberating, since
Thursday at 4 o'clocaV They came Into
court Friday saying - they , could not
agree and were sent back by Judge
Arohbald. Informed-that he' would not
discharge them wtU New Years. ;They
reappeared Saturday with the same
looks on their faces and on account or
the Illness of the wife of one of them
Judge Archbald let them go. The case
will have to be tried again unless a set
tlement be reached. This is the second
time a jury has disagreed. - -
WALS1I COULD BE HEARD.
Where He Coald Not fie Seen at Early
Morning Hoar.
Henry Walsh, a superannuated
blacksmith who goes around doing odd
Jobs here and there and spends his
money for strong drink, was arrested
by Patrolman Boland at 1.30 Saturday
morning while attempting to break Into
the residence of Patrick Lynn, 517
Hickory street. South Side.
Walsh Is 58 years bid but time seems
to have made no Inroads on the
strength of his lungs. He was shouting
loud enough to arouse everybody within
a radius of three blocks. At the hear
ing yesterday before. Alderman Ful
ler he excused his conduct by charging
it to strong drink. There was no dis
position to hold him for attempting to
break into Mr. Lynn's house, and he
was willing to go to jail for thirty days,
but the alderman discharged him.
