Heroic Actios of tie. Worries Shop
lifters Arraigned' Yesterday.
THEY ADMITTED THEIR GUILT
But They Took That Step Oaly After
They Had Beea Assared That the
Charges Against Their Hasbaada
Woald Be Oiaalssed.
Mercy Is not strained when leniency
la accorded to such cases as the one
which came up In court yesterday after
noon. Johanno Locarro. Runaro Loda
to, and Sarta Lodata, the three Italian
women charged with stealing from the
stores of Langatan & Perry, Collins &
Hackett. Goldsmith's Basaar, the Globe
Warehouse, and Flnley's Boston store,
were sentenced by Judge Qunster to a
year each In the county jalL
Last summer Chief of rollce Simpson
arrested these women and their hus
bands, Peter Spota, Andrew Lodato and
Philip Lodato, at their homes in Green
Ridge, and about $1,500 worth of goods
were unearthed in the cellar and from
the garret. The six persons were sent
to Jail In default of bail and were In
since laBt June. Soon after their Incar
ceration the little child of Mrs. Spota,
or Locarro as she is called In the Indict
ment, died.
When the case was called yesterday
afternoon a Jury was sworn. There
were five charges of larceny and re
ceiving against each defendant. Attor
neys John T. Martin and George S.Horn
represented the defendants. However,
before the case was opened a compro
mise was effected and the three women
entered Dleas of guilty after receiving
assurance that their husbands should
be declared not guilty.
The Women's Self Saorlf iss.
This self-sacrifice on the part of the
poor women won for them many friends
In court. District Attorney Jones agreed
to accept this plea, he not having strong
evidence to connect the men with the
crimes. The Jury was first sworn and
verdicts of not guilty were taken In
favor of the men.
The woman came forward, two of
them with suckling Infants, and they
were given seats before the bench. At
torney Martin made a plea to the court
in which he told of the death of the
little child of one of the unfortunate wo
men. He asked the court to be as len
ient as possible and consider that they
have been already a long period in
Jail, and that now in this month, when
all the world is thinking of peace on
earth, is an opportune time for the ex
ercise of mercy. The husbands of the
women broke down completely and
cried. The poor women were weeping
from the time they were brought before
the court
Judge Gun8ter, ' before passing sen
tence, said that If the men had been
found guilty he would not hesitate to
send them to the penitentiary for the
full term allowed by law. In exercis
ing clemency toward the women he
would have to take. Into consideration
that a duty was owing to the com
munity as well. These thieveries had
been continued and persisted in for a
long time. He sentenced them in two
of the five cases. In the first case he
ordered them to pay a-fine of $100, the
costs of prosecution, restore the stolen
property, and spend nine months in the
county Jail. In the second case each
was sentenced to pay a fine of $1 and
spend three months In Jail. Sentence
was suspended In the other three cases.
Demarko) Murder Keealled.
John Corrello, Domlnick Demarko,
Nicholas Demarko, Michael Rich, Jo
seph Larouse and Angelo Cammerota,
the six Italians who were In the county
Jail on the charge of riot since last
June, when they were concerned in the
drunken fight at Jessup In which
Michael Demarko lost his life at the
hands of Pasquela Perretto, were taken
before court and verdicts of not guilty
entered in favor of all of them. The
county will pay the costs. They have
been well punished already, having
been In Jail since Sunday, June 30, near
ly six months. ' '
Judge Edwards directed the Jury to
find a verdict of not guilty In the lar
ceny by bailee case of Herman Harpeles
of Lackawanna, against S. Cohen and
Max Tomback. They were charged
with taking flour belonging to the pros
ecutor. In the three assault and bat
tery cases preferred by Stephen Miller
against the Scruper family of Marsh
wood, verdicts of not guilty were re
turned. In the case against Arthusie
Scruper, the prosecutor must pay the
costs, and among Jacob and Frank
Scruper, defendants and Miller, the
prosecutor, the costs were equally div
ided. Henry Returned Not Gnllty.
Patrick Henry of Old Forge, was called
for trial before Judge Gunster charged
with carrying concealed weapons. Mrs.
Ann Edwards was the prosecutrix. Ex
Judge W. H. Stanton defended Henry
and District Attorney Jones represent
ed the commonwealth. The charge
against the constable was that one day
he went to serve a writ at the house of
Mrs. Edwards and being refused ad
mittance to the dwelling threatened to
force his way at the point of a revolver.
The oonstable denied the presence of a
revolver In his pockets at the time. He
said It was a policeman's club. The
Jury found a verdict of not guilty and
put the costs on the prosecutrix.
Jeschuka Machollus and Nagalla
Nanytekl were tried on the charge of
stealing seven chickens ' from Mrs.
Sarah Collins, of Bellevue. It was a
trivial case and the Jury brought In a
verdict of not guilty.'
Just before adjournment In the main
court room the rases of the common
wealth against Alex Lefcofskl, charged
with felonious wounding, and Alex
Kessler, charged with assault and bat
tery, was called, George . Smlgle, or
McCloskey la the prosecutor. District
Attorney Jones represented the com
monwealth and Attorney t M. A. Mc
Glnley the defendants.
A Woman Caused the Trouble.
The prosecutor was the only witness
heard In the case. There was a large
crescent-shaped Indentation on his fore
head as a memento of the picnic held
at Greenwood on Monday, July 22 last.
The morning of the picnic McCloskey
and Miss Ludewtka Tankowskl, a Pol
ish maiden of Greenwood, appeared at
the clerk of the courts' office and got a
marriage license. They Intended to be
united In a few days.
About 7 o'clock that evening Mc
Closkey took hia affianced to the picnic
and there they met Lefcofskl, who had
been a suitor for her hand. Words
arose and later In the evening Lefcofskl
It Is alleged, laid in wait for McCloskey
and struck, him with a big stone on
the head, fracturing the skull. Kessler
was charged with being an accomplice
In the assault. ,
McCloskey laid unconscious on the
ground until the nest morning, when
some men on their way to work found
him. The Lackawanna hospital ambul
ance was sent for and the Injured man
was taken there, where he remained for
a long time hovering between life and
death. Lefcofskl and Kessler were
committed to Jail. When McCloskey
recovered they were released on balk
Kessler Immediately sued for the hand
of Miss Tankowskl and was received
with favor. 'They were married soon
afterward. The defense will maintain
that McCloskey was drunk at the picnic
and that the assault was committed In
self defense.
It Was Another Sealso. ,
Gerome Scalzo, of Carbondale, not the
man who tried to blow up Gabriel Pug
liano's house with dynamite, was tried
on two charges, felonious attempt, and
j carylng concealed weapons. H.P.Wills,
! watchman In the Delaware and Hudson
1 yard at Carbondale, was the prosecutor.
The Jury found Scalzo guilty of carry
ing concealed weapons and of wantonly
discharging firearms, which Is the third
count in the other Indictment.
One Sunday last August a number of
Italians congregated on the company's
property; Mr. Wills undertook to dia-
; perse them and was greeted with a vol
ley of pistol shots by Mr. Scalzo. The
. defendant tried to prove an alibi, say
; lng that he was at a friend's house when
the shooting Is said to have occurred.
He produced three witnesses, who swore
that Scalzo was in their company en
' gaged In a quiet game of cards, but the
' Jury did not credit the defense and
I found the man guilty.
Simon Kolmosky. of Old Forge, was
acquitted of assault and battery and
pointing a pistol, but he was directed to
1 pay the costs. Mrs. Mary Tracey was
the prosecutrix.
An Faster Monday Christening.
A term of quarter sessions court with
in the past three years would have
been an anomaly without several cases
on the list caused by law breaking at
the "Ridge" In Archbald borough. But.
strange to relate, the first case In a good
while from the Ridge was one called for
trial yesterday. John Shecllska was
charged with felonious wounding and
Wassa Losak was the prosecutor.
Shecllska had a cross suit of assault
and battery against Lazak, John Hu
haltts, John Hamanlck and John Con
nella. The two cases were tried together.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien and Assistant
District Attorney John M. Harris rep
resented the commonwealth. Shecllska
was defended by Attorney W. J. Lewis.
The Jury will pass upon the guilt or
Innocence of all parties from the testi
mony in the case of felonious wounding,
which was put on trial.
Last Easter Monday there was a
christening at the Ridge and the liti
gants were there celebrating. The
principal enjoyment was emptying kegs
of beer, and after a large quantity of
that tonic was consumed, the natural
result, a free fight, occurred, Lasak
claims that Shecllska peppered him
with bullets from a large revolver, and
Shecllska claims that he was being
murderously assaulted by the others,
and used the weapon In self defense.
The case will go on today. . . .
Peter Smith was tried for larceny.
He was charged with stealing two gold
rings from a bureau drawer In the
house of George Block, of this city. The
evidence was not sufficient to convict
and Judge Edwards instructed the Jury
to bring in a verdict of not guilty.

THIS IS ONE WAY.
Bat There Are Other and Less Expinsivs
Ways of Testing s VVatah.
Different persons have different ways
of testing the merits of a watch, but It
Is to be hoped that no one will be led
by this article to follow the method
employed by a drunken Individual In
Relchart's Jewelry store last evening.
He asked to see a gold watch and up
on being shown one of the best opened
the case and by exerting all his force
snapped it in twain between his fingers,
saying as he placed the pieces on the
cfounter that the time piece was no
good.
When he Indignantly refused to be
responsible for the fragility of the
watch case or his own exceptional
strength Mr. Relchart called Patrolman
Melnzer and had him arrested. '

LAND TG BE TRANSFERRED
Tractloa Compaav Arjrees to Deed Us
Koblasoa Stnc: Right to City.
NO SIRING ATTACHED TO IT
rhe Company Will Git the Land to the
City ia Esahanse for a Right
of Way In the Centre
of the Street.
The Scranton Traction company,
through its attorney, Horace E. Hand,
yesterday afternoon announced that it
will make an absolute and unqualified
conveyence of their Robinson street
land. At the request of the West Side
board of trade committee the company
agreed to allow their demand for double
privileges on Robinson street to come
up as an after consideration.
This was brought about at a confer
ence In the West Side bank parlors
yesterday at noon. The parties Of
Wednesday night's conference were all
present and besides these T. F. Mason,
president of the board of trade. E. M.
Clark, one of the foremost members,
and Superintendent R. E. Fox, of the
Traction company, attended.
The company contended that It could
not give a first-class service to the
West Side unless a double track right
of way Is secured and asked the com
mittee to give Its approval to the pro
ject. This the committee declined to
do. Some of the members favored It.
but as a body the committee did not
want to go on record until the feeling of
the people was ascertained.
Different Propositions Discussed.
Various propositions for bettering the
service were dlscusned. A double track
as far as Ninth street and a belt line
over Ninth to Swetland and thence
down Main to the different connec
tions, returning to Lackawanna avenue
by the present route. Vice President
Clark agreed that this might be an
Improvement, but argued that it did
not solve the question of a first-class
service. What he firmly believed to bo
necessary Is a double track road from
Franklin avenue to Luzerne street.
The committee would not give an
expression of opinion on any of the
company's propositions which called for
double tracks, and Insisted on a separa
tion of the double-track question and
the question of conveying to the city the
Robinson street strip of land.
Unqualified Transferor the Land.
After a short consultation the Trac
tion people authorised Mr. Hand to an
nounce the company's willingness to
make an unqualified transfer and at
this the conference broke up, after a
vote of thanks had been tendered the
officials for their action.
MR. VAUGHA NS STATEM ENT.
Has Not Dean Requested to Call the
Democratic City Committee Together.
"I have net been requested to call a
meeting of the Democratic city com
mittee," said D. W. Vaufjhan yesterday,
"and the published statement to that
effect was misleading. There Is no
good reason why the committee should
be called at this time but If a meeting
is desired I am perfectly willing to
Issue the call.
"Up to date I have not been ap
proaohed by any one interested in hav
ing the committee meet and so far as I
know no one has yet authoratively an
nounced himself as a candidate for a
Democratic nomination for a city of

It Was a Bjothovet Night in Honor of
tho Grent Composer's Annlvenarr.
The second of the series of Chamber
concerts was given at the Young Men's
Christian association hall last night and
was a success In every respect. Every
seat In the house was taken and the
audience was fairly representative of
society. Professional musicians, musi
cal critics and lovers of music generally
were present to listen to Beethoven
music rendered by Wilkes-Barre's best
talent and local performers of note on
the string Instruments.
It was Beethoven music and the con
cert was commemorative of the one
hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary
of the famous composer, which will take
place on December 17. Three of his
works were Interpreted. The first was
a trio, op. 97 In B flat Major in five
movements. Theodore Memberger, first
violin; T. H. Rlppard, 'cello; and J. Wil

first movement and continued to hold It
during the exeoutlon of the ether four,
the whole rendition being marked with
ease, solidity and rare brilliancy.
J. Willis Conant's playing of an an
dante and allegro from Sonata op. Vt
showed a thorough knowledge of tech
nique. Miss Florence Wood, soprano,
was unable to sing on account of ill
ness. Miss Elisabeth Smith, late of London,
was secured at the last moment to take
her place and she did it creditably. She
sang but one number, which, however,
was sufficient to display her sweet voice!
The last number was op. G9, No. 2 In
E Minor in four movements, arranged
for string quartette. This was prob
ably the moat satisfactory of the even
ing, the audience applauding freely at
the conclusion of each part, especially
the molto adagio movement.

mission, of the West Side, uresident;
