A piece of enterprise which will sure
ly prove effective is the placing- of
startling lithographs all over the city,
setting- forth the need of a viaduct on
West Lackawanna, avenue and telling
of the InsiKiiilicant cost to each voter
that will result If the Improvement Is
made. "Remove the HaiiRer" is the
catchy headnlece. Then comes a con
cise statement of the needs of the via
duct, followed by the cost to each class
of citizens. Two cents will be the cost
to the laborer and three cents to the
miner or mechanic. Property owners
will pay from J.r to 40 cents per. year.
VStfr thefeHRineH UTarin "the voter in

favorable to the viaduct.

SECOND TRIAL OF ROSA
o,
Kill Beijin Today before Judge fid
? wards in Criminal Court.
HE MURDERED YIT0 LORL'SSA
Was Convicted of M ardor in the First
Degree on the I'irst Trial-Rendham
Burglars Found Guilty Sea
- tenees Imposed on Saturday.
The second week of criminal court
will begin today, and the first case on
the list la the second trial of Murderer
Leonardo Rosa, who was convicted
once for the foul slaying of Vito Lo
russa at Dunmore on the morning of
Feb. 2S, 1895. The defendant was gf atjt
ed a new trial upon the fact brought out
at the argument that Detective Frank
Agll admitted he had not told every
thing Rosa confessed to him In the Jail.
The trial beginning today will be before
Judge Edwards.
Agll was put in the same cell with the
prisoner before the trial and secured a
confession from him which was the
principal evidence upon which a con
viction was obtained. Agli's deposition,
read at the argument for a new trial,
set forth that he had not stated on the
witness stand that Lorussa had a scis
sors in his p. .session and attacked Rosa
with It. This, Rosa confessed, was what
caused the murder: that he shot Lo
russa. in self defense.
The commonwealth hopes to be able
to make out a stronger rase against the
defendant this time. When Lorussa's
body was found the morning of the mur
der, the scissors was stuck up the
sleeve of the dead man's coat. This
would go toward dispelling the assump
tion that the murder was In self-de
fense; on ..the contrary, It would show,
It is contended, that Rosa took the
scissors out of Lorussa's pocket after
the killing and placed It where It was
found as a pretext that an attack had
been made and that the murder was
simply repelling that attack. At the
first trial District Attorney John R.
Jones and his law partner. Attorney T.
V. Fowderly, represented the common
wealth, and Attorneys George S. Horn,
James J. II. Hamilton and John G. Mc
Askle appeared for the defendant.
Van lko and Other found Guilty.
W. J. Van Dyke. John Moron find
E'.las Thomas were found guilty of
burglarizing the Methodist Episcopal
parsonage at Rendhum on the morning
of Aug. 21 lust, and binding the pastor,
Rev. W. R. Cochrane, and his wife with
a rope, after which the burglurs ran
sacked the house. John and Anthony
Mima, two young fellows, who were
charged with being Implicated In the
outrage, were returned not guilty at the
first trial upon the Instruction of the
court. At that trial t" Jury could not
agree on the guilt of the other defend
ants and the case had to be tried a sec
ond time. Attorneys 1. H. Rums. M. J.
Donahoe and A. A. Chase, who repre
sented the defendants, will apply to
the fourt fcr a new trial on the ground
that the evidence did not warrant a
conviction. Moran's father-in-law and
three sisters told straightforward stories
In testifying that he was at home on
the night of the burglary.
Kdward Lynn waa convicted of as
sault and battery on his wife and the
court sentenced him to spend six months
In the county Jail. He Is the man whose
child wna burned In the Are at their
home on the South Side a few months
ago. James Oolden was acquitted of
assault and battery on Kdward Jones,
of Providence, and the costs were equal
ly divided. The defendant struck Jones
because the latter said Mrs. Golden
deviated from the truth. Michael ku
rltskl was found not guilty of assault
and buttery on Sammy Miller, of Scran
ton street, and the jury dlreced the
prosecutor to pay the costs.
Some Sentences Imposed.
William Lynch, of the South Side, was
sentenced to thirty days In the county
Jail for assault and battery on John
Jacob Schmidt. Willium Thornton will
spend a month In Jail fro breaking six
panes of glass on Jan. - In the saloon
of John T. Gibbons, or Taylor borough
Thornton's 4-year-old stepson waa
burned so fearfully a month arto that
he died a day or so afterward. The lit
tie fellow was playing near a fire In a
field near his home and his clothes
caught from the flames.
John Richards, Michael inland, John
Brown and James Oeutz plead guilty
to stealing from the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company, and In consideration
of their previous good character, the
court suspended sentence for six months,
At the end of that time, if they will have
behaved, sentence will be suspended,
but If they show any disposition to get
Into any more mischief, the court will
call them up and deal severely with
them.
A number of surety rases were dis
posed of. Patrick Barrett, for threat
ening to kill Mrs. Catharine Runne, was
put under 1200 ball as a guarantee that
he will not put the threat Into execu
tion. Mark Connors gave the same
amount of ball for saying he would
make a widower of himself. John Haw-
ley and Daniel Burns were required to
give bond to keep the peace with Kliza
beth Keegan; and William Palmer gave
ball in the sum of t2Q0 that he would
not kill E. S. Palmer.
