DISCLOSURES EIPECTEP.
Mrs. Salvl May Tell tho True Story of the
Merolo Murder Case.
Some important disclosures are
looked for within the next few days in
the Merolo case. The flight of Salvl,
and the almost insane despair of the
woman whom he has destertea and
robbed, give rise to the belief that if
there is anything connected with the
tragedy which has not as yet come to
the surface that Mrs. Salvl will tell it,
if she knows it, and it Is more than
likely that she knows all about it.
At present she is hoping almost
nguinst hope that he will return to her.
She does not want the money, she says,
but she wants the man.
"I loved my man like a god," she said
yesterday, talking to a Tribune report
er. "But if he is bad to me I will be
bad to him. If he no come back I will
go to him: I will shoot him; I will kill
myself."
WILL TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH.
She has promised to tell her attorney,
John T. Martin,1 the truth of the whole
case in- due time. She expresses the
deepest sympathy for Merolo, and says
that he would never have committed
the deed had he not been set up to it.
When asked if there was any doubt
about the man at the county jail being
Merolo, she said no; that while she was
sorry for him, it would do no good to
deny that he ia the man.
She refuses to say that Salvl was
Implicated in the murder, but she has
confessed that two men were dispatched
to kill Loro, and that the one was to
engage him in a tight while Merolo
shut him from behind. This second
man, however, grew faint-hearted when
the time came, and persuaded Merolo,
who had been made drunk, to do the
deed alone, 'assuring him that he would
be on hand to give assistance if need
be, exhibiting a' revolver at the same
time. This man was on tne scene at
the lime of the shooting, but did not
show his hand In any way.
Fresh fuel was added to Mrs. Sulvl's
wrath yesterday by the action of some
of her husband's relatives, who had her
arrested for larceny. A lot of house
hold goods which she and Salvl pur
chased some time ago were shipped to
Old Forge Wednesday, and tialvi's
nephew, probably acting under Instruc
tions from Salvl, attempted to secure
the goods. The station agent, however,
turned them over to Mrs.-Salvi, as they
were billed to her husband.
Now the Salvl faction claim that she
was never married to Salvl, and that
she has no right to the goods. Alder
man Millar, before whom the case was
tried, dismissed the charge of larceny,
but afterwards Issued a summons in
a civil proceeding, returnable one week
from today.

DEATH' Wif SICNEO
Murderer Merolo Kill Uc Hanyed on
Tuesday, May 26.
GOVERNOR FIXED THE DATE
There Is No Tolling What tha Board of
Pardons May Do-Tbo Crime Woe
tha Murder of Emanuel
Loro at Old Forgo.
' Governor Hastings yesterday signed
the death warrant of Murderer cresen
so Merolo and Tuesday, May 2fi, was
fixed as the day of execution.
The crime which Merolo will expiate
on the gallows was the murder of
Emanuel Loro at Old Forge on Sunday
afternoon, June 17. Loro was
barber and Merolo owed him 15 cents,
They met and payment wns asked,
Tho debtor's response was Ave shots
from his revolver. Loro fell after the
first shot, but the murderer continued
firing into his victim's prostrate body
until every chamber In the pistol was
empty.
The crime wns committed on the
street near E. J. Fallon's hotel. Me
roio escaped and eluded apprehension
for over a year and one half. The
officers scoured the county for several
days but could tind no trace of him
A week after the murder the county
commissioners put the case In the
hands of Barring & McSweeney.
The detectives worked on the case
assiduously, Merolo was assisted to
get out of the county and went to
Italy. There he got no peace and re
turned to this country. He landed in
Boston and watt not Ions there when
tne detectives got track Of lilm. A
ruse was adopted which worked well
and Merolo fell Into the trap. Detect
ive William Bauer, of the asfney.
worked the scheme. '
MEROLO WAS ARRESTE
An advertisement was Inserted, for
600 Italian laborers at good wages for
railroad work. lie answered and wan
arrested. This was on Oct. 12.. 1895,
Extradition papers were got out and a
week later he was brought tixHcranton
The prisoner denied his Identity; he
claimed to be Francesco La Bracku
When searched after his arrest an tin
micrntlon Inspection was found in his
pocket, bearing the name of Vlncenxo
Lacosale. This was an alias. The
paper showed that' he sailed from
Naples, Italy, on April 23, .1895, arrlv
lng here on May 11.
.On Oct. 2'?, ho had a hearing before
Alderman Wrlrclit and. although he
stoutly dented that he was the man
wanted, seven witnesses swore that he
waB the i-l till t man and he was com
mitted to the county jail to await trial
The grand Jury found A true bill
against him at the November term,
On Dec. .1 last he was placed on trial
District Attorney John R. Jones repre
sented 'the commonwealth and Attor
neys John T. Martin and Joseph IT,
Brown the defendant. Lcbs time was
spent In the trial of. the case than In
that of any other in Lackawanna coun
ty. The defense was mistaken Iden
tlty and there was no dispute but that
the crime was a foul, cold-blooded and
premeditated one.
MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE,
District Attorney Janes wove such a
strong network of evidence firmly es
tablishing the, prisoner's Identity as
Merolo that the jury found a verdict of
murder of the first degree on the first
ballot, and brought their verdict into
court in a little lees than fifty minutes
after they retired to deliberate upon the
cuse.
An appeal for a new trial was made
and arguments were made. On Jan. 26
last Judge Edwards handed down an
opinion refusing a new trlul, and on
the following day the same Judge pro
nounced sentence of death.
The law provides that an appeal to
the Supreme court In capital cases must
be made within twenty days after the
date of sentence. There was no such
appeal made and the record wus peril
fied to the governor. Attorney John T.
Murtin, who defended Merolo, did not
think any one could expect him to un
dertake the expense personally of go
ing to the Supreme court and for that
reason no nppeal was taken. Mr. Mar
tin learned that Merolo has friends In
New York, and lie wrote to them In
time to i n f i rm them thut he could not
afford to carry the case any further.
They disregarded the notice und there
was nothing to do but let the law take
Its course. The only hope for Merolo
now is the hoard of pardons. He will
not he told of the day on which Ids life
will pay the penalty of his crime until
the pupers are received by Sheriff
demons from Harrlsburg. .
CONCERT KV SOLSA'S BAND.
Largo AuJIunce at the Frothlngham Went
Wild with Dollght.
Ruusa Is a creator, a musical dram
atist. The programme of lust night's enter
tainment ut the Krothinghain was hap
pily arranged and masterfully execut
ed. It hud nearly the proper propor
tion of parts, one portion of the heavily
classical t ten parts or intelligibly
popular music, jnoi mat the more pop
ular selections were not classical also,
They were classified In a melodiously,
bewltchlnuly classical manner, and the
big audience fairly went Wild over
them.
The overture "Tliurlngian Festival"
by Lassen wnt a fit preparation for the
treats to follow. Interwoven In the
melodic web was the song thread dear
to many hearts as the music which Is
included to the poem.
How can I leave thee!
How can I from thee part!
Thou only hat uvy heart, sister believe.
In graceful and prompt acknowledg
ment to the Btoirn of applause, Mr.
Sousa stepped back to the conductor's
stand, and as an encore "The Kansas
Two Step." a stirring composition by
Arthur Pryor, a member of the band,
was played. The audience was not
satisfied even with this, and Sousa's
"Directorate March" was given. A
storm of applause swept from the audi
ence as the popular strains ended and
the band was, for the third time, com
pelled to respond, this time with the
most delicate bit or the evening, ulr
ard's "Serenade Enfantina."
Liszt's Fourteenth Hungarian Rhap
sody was also appreciated to the ex
tent of an encore: This was the ca
pricious "Bamboola."
Arthur Pryor's trombone solo was a
revelation of the possibilities of this
instrument. It was immensely appre
ciated, and Mr. Pryor was obliged to
respond with u. sympathetic rendition
of that usually abused ballad, "There's
Only One Clirl In the World for Me."
The best, and, to the credit of the
audience be It said, the best appreciated
selection of the evening followed. It
was a suite by Sousa himself, entitled
'Three Quotations." Quotation A had
the nursery rhyme: "The King of
France, with twenty thousand men.
marched up the hill and then marched
down again." The distant tramp of the
puissant king and his mighty force Is
heard. The troop comes nearer, and
the martial strains ring out as the Im
mortal twenty -thousand begin their
ascent. The top was reached In a
grand melodic burst. The about face
then came and the anti-climax. Quo-
tlon B was "And I. Aoo. Was Born In
Arcadia." This was purely and de
lightfully 'pastoral in its effect. Quo
tation C, "In Darkest Africa," intro
duced a negro minstrel show In the
processor eruption. The Ice of Scran
ton's reserve waa broken through after
this number, and several "Bravos" were
heard above the conventional applause.
Miss Myrta French sang Luckstone s
difficult "Delight Valse" with taste and
delicacy. In response to an encore, she
sang "Ben Bolt" with a wealth of ex
pression that waa unexpected coming
as It did on the heels of so purely a
technical, a composition as Luckstone'
song.
Kimble's "Water Spirits" and Sousa'
"King littnn" cnmpelted several en
cores, anil Sliss Carrie Duke's violin
solo. SuranateVZIgenuer Weisen,"also
made necessary another number. This
wns - "Love's Dream." Miss Duke'
power of expression Is really marvelous
arid she deserved the reception she re
ceived.
The finale Is described as "Humor
esque," although much of it is serious
in Its Intent and effect. It Is Sousa'i
descriptive piece entitled "The Band
Came Bnck." It begins with an oboi
solo on the well worn theme, "I don
want to play In your yard," and Is
followed in quick succession by "The
Mocking Bird," for saxophone, flutes
and clarlonettes, "Tho Man that Broke
the Hank at Monte Carlo," for three
trombones. The mlserera from "Tro-
vutore" for cornet and euphorlum,
"The Cat Came Back" for flute. "Two
Little Girls in Blue," by alto and so
prano saxophones. "Mamie, Come Kiss
Your Honey Boy," for baritone saxo
phone. "Twinkling Stars are Laugh
ing Love, for two bassoons, and
grand finale of the "Washington Post
March," and "The Star Sprangled Ban
ner," ty tne entire band.
Mr. Sousa was seen In his dressing
room after the performance and he was
delighted with the cordiality of his re
ception. Tho band has Just completed
14,000 miles. Its tour extending as far
north as Victoria, B. C, and as far
south as San Diego, Cal. He has vis
ited Scranton four times and is im
mensely pleased with the city.

ney, Milton W. Lowry, yesterday had a

All were In favor of the portico, even
Mr. Kinsley himself. Mr. Krothlughum

To the Citizens of Dalton and vicinity:
That our obliging and hard-working
neighbor, Henry Ryman, has Just lost

by fire, and that his demented daughter
perished in the flames, is well known,
and sympathy- for the family Is unl
versal. That at the time of the disaster
he was In close circumstances, finan
daily, on account. of the long, hard
winter, with little work, may not be as
well known. The contents of a well-
flelled cellar, a well-filled chamber.
with three beds and an abundance of
bedding and sundry'famlly clothing, a
good cook stove and other stoves, a
well-filled pantry, with all its dishes
and various kitchen fixtures, have all
gone up In smoke. Most of the cloth
ing of the mother, father and two sons
(one of whom was severely burned In
his attempt to save the sister from
death) was burned up. No one can do
less than give something. Knives,
dishes, spoones, bedding, clothing, fur

little, will help and be thankfully re
ceived.
Money, too, is needed, and some can

stating what you will give and left with

Money can be sent by mall to Henry

V. M. Rutbven. with his attorney, R
A. Zimmerman, and his bondsman,
Charles Kaestner, the Cedar avenue
hotelkeeper, went to Alderman Millar's
office at 11 o'clock yesterday morning,
the hour fixed for his hearing on the
charges of inciting to riot, discharging
n rearms and carrying concealed weap
ons. Ball was entered without a hear
ing and the alderman fixed the amount
at 1600. This was tlOQ In each case.
Mr. Kaestner qualified, and Ruthven
went his way. Thomas Payton, the
prosecutor, and his attorney, M. A. Mc

nesses, but when the defendant waived
a hearing, that disposed of the case for

Alderman Millar spoke a few words
of warning to the crowd by advising
them against any manifestations of

prior to the hearing yesterday and con
aequemly had no knowledge of the evi
dence whlcth could be produced. All I
know of the case waa what I had gleaned
from the reports which appeared In the
papers. Of one thing, however, I am sat
isfied; that a riot occurred In Dunmore
by which several InoffendlnK persons were
shot and one of these, Frederick Mink,
now lies at the point of deailh In the Laiek
awanna 'hoapttal. The good name of Dun
more has been dlegraved by the action
of the persons engaged in this riot and
nun onenuers snouiu De ptiniKneiJ.
I do not come here, to defend the action
of Mr. Ruthven In going there, and if as
is charged, delivering a speech calculated
to incite- to riot, the blame for these
disgraceful proceeding! Is largely charge
able to the borough outhorltles.
If Ruthven's first lecture at Dunmore
kvt Sunday was calculated to Incite to
riot, why was he permitted to deliver a
lecture on Monday. Either he had a right
to lecture or he had not. If he had, then
he ahould have been protected; If ho had
not a right, then ho should havo been
stopped.
The Catholics ami Protestants of Dun
more have been living in harmony and
I hope they will alwaya do ao, but the faot
remains ithait there was a riot and those
engaged In It should be called to account.
If Frederick Mink dies from the effect
of his wounds, his blood Ilea at tho door
of the officials who have been so remiss
in their duty. Most of these defendant,
if not all, were engaged in this riot. They
fhould be punched, but there la not suf
ficient evidence to hold them upon a
charge of felonious wounding. I cannot
press further for the holding of these de
fendants. DEFENDANTS DISCHARGED.
Alderman Millar called Walsh, Lynch,
Payton and O'Horo up before him and
informed them that they were dis
charged, D. C. Richards, who swore the war
rants out, was not present.
Dr. Blanchard,- at the Lackawanna
hospital, reported last night that Spe
cial Officer Mink's condition Is much
Improved. - He Is resting easily and has
regained consciousness. There is hope
that he may recover.
Arrested for Alleged Wlfe-Beotlag.
Frank Staples, of Green Ridge, was
arrested yesterday morning by Con
stable Jack Tlerney on a warrant sworn
out by Mrs. Staples before Alderman
Millar, alleging wife beating. Council
man C. S. Seamans went the defend
ant's ball. .
