Major Everett Warren. DETECTIVE M SKEEXET S TALE Ocfcndanta Prisoner In Ilia Office One Mght-Commonwealth' Caso Closed at 3.10 -Attorney Milo J. Wilson the First Witness for Defense. At 3.10 yesterday afternoon the com niu.iwenlth'H case rented in the Luce ll.it.'iiiun arson trial. A few witnesses wr called by the defense for further I'l'iiso-exainiiiutlon and at 3.2"i Major Kverett Warren hcRati the opening; ad dress to the jury and did not conclude until 4.UI. He outlined what the de fense pi. poses to prove. After a few Introductory remarks he read the statute which covers the crime with which the defendants are charged. The law hns fixed a severe jienalty for arson or an attempt to commit the same. The unishmeiit is not over a Irne of i.OtiO and Imprisonment at hard labor and solitary confinement in the penitentiary not exceeding It) years He asked the Jury to jrlve the case their most thoughtful consideration, know. Itik' that it means ho much to the de fendants. He said that the testimony which will be presented will fully establish the tn noeense of the accused and will explain away the various circumstances which the comimintveulth has relied upon to convict. Major Warren related a case which occurred In a street cur In New Haven, Colin., w hen he was a student nt Vale college. A woman was robbed of her piH'ketbook and upon a search of the passengers being made the purse was found in the pocket of a prominent clergyman. Korttmato circumstances afterward developed which proved that-a notori ous pickMicket had taken the woman's prperty, uniTwhen he feared detection had placed.lt in the clergyman's pocket unawares but the real truth was not discovered until after the latter hud been forced to the huniiliutliig tusk of procurlnu;, ball for his velease from cus tody. HAL) NOTHIXO TO DO WITH IT. He emphasized that the Jury must be lieve beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants are entity before they can be convicted and he suid that in the light of all the circumstances, It would be fully established that Mr. Luce and Mr. liuteninn had nothing at all to do with the lire. It was not the purpose of the defense, he said, to deny that un attempt had been made to burn the Howley building; neltjier would they charge thut anybody else did it. all tiny intended would be to show that they hud no connection with the crime one wuy or another. In the first place, asked Major War ren, whut would it benefit Mr. Luce to destroy the building? He hud Just built up a profitable business and did not carry an amount of Insurance to in demnify him for the loss. Mr. Luce, with his father, and two or three near relatives, hud bought out the business of the Hcrnnton Knitting company and by industry and perseverance had suc ceeded in building up a trade, that wus permanent and profitable. One New York house alone had left orders for all the hosiery that the factory could turn out. They would also show by the testi mony of the girls employed at the fac tory thnt It did not quit the day of the lire until fi o'cli(ck in the evening. Then Major Warren spoke of Mr. Luce ns a young man of the best of character, known and trusted by near ly every business and professional man in Scranton; associated with his father in the insurance flrnrof It. W. Luce & Son. a llrm of a standing second to none in Lackawanna county. What . would it prrtnt-him to destroy a well-paying business such a tne Knitting company was doing for the paltry gain of $2,500 Insurance. Promi nent men of the city would be brought In to testify to Mr. Luce's standing; and men acquainted with Mr. Uateman In Dauphin county, this state, will come forward and testify to his good repu tation also. DKFKNDANTS' WHEREABOUTS. The Jury .would be ho,roughly en lightened on what the commbnwealth took great pains to prove. They wguld not deny that Messrs. Luce and Uate man had been at the factory the even ing o' the fire. They admitted thnt, and would prove they were there taking rote of what Btock was needed for a busy winter trade, and that after they left the place Mr. Luce went to his oifice and wrote letters ordering the material; that Mr. Kateman went home early and went to bed. This would be proved by Mr. and Mrs. Krlnglesmlth, with whom he boarded. Mr. Luce's whereabouts at the Im portant minutes preceding the ' fire would bo proved by reputable citizens. Attorney O. B. Partridge was ready to swear thut Mr. Luce was in the hall way of 421 Lackawanna avenue at 9 o'clock, and after that ho was seen at the postotllce by A. C. Puller. They were also prepared to admit that Mr. Luce went Into Mayor Bailey's grocery store a short while before the date of the tire and purchased a gallon of kero sene oil. This tluid was necessary for the use of those who had to wash ma chine oil off their hands after work. When courtconvened In the morn ing Detectlnfc James Kclghron. of Wllkes-Bnrre, who guarded Batemnn In Burring & MeSweeney's office on the night of Dec. 14, ixi4, was the first wit ness. There had . been objection made the day before by counsel for the de fense toward allowing him to dotall a few remarks he heard Hntemnn ex press. Judge Archbald liermitted him io tell and hclghron raid lluti man r marked thut "Luce would get free all right, as he had lots of money, but he would get souKed." DETKCTIWI AT WORK. The task of discovering the person or persons Tvho set tire to the Howley building was pluced In the hands of the detective ugency of Barring & McSwee ney, of which the next witness, Daniel McSweeiiey, Is a member. He went to Mr. Luce and asked to see the books of the Scranton Knitting company. Mr. Luce permitted hiin to do so after first consulting Attorney Partridge, He also learned thut the company carried $2,U()0 Insurance on the machinery, $iUU on the stock and l;0 on an electric motor. He questioned Mr. Luce close ly In regard to his whereabouts on the night of the tire and was told by the latter that he was at the factory not later than 8 o'clock, at whim hour he started for his on" Ice nn Lackawanna avenue, wrote a few letters, went to the postotllce and mailed them and then walked home, ' Mr. McSweency testified that he went to Schuylkill county on Dec. 11, 1S4, and met Bnteman there;, he took the defendant to Scranton with him under pretense that he was to be used on account- of his connection with the com pany In running down the one guilty of setting fire to the building. Bate--man and Luce were arrested on Dec. 14 on a warrant sworn out lute In the af ternoon and as the offense with which they were charged is not bailable before nn alderman they were kept in the rooms of the detective agency that night rather than send them to Jail. . The witness denied that he had laid ,nny traps for, the defendants while they were in custody under his auspices to extort from them a confession. Major Warren handled him without gloves on cross-examination and asked him If he had not made use of these words to ,Luee: "This niatter can. be. settled right here; no one outside of the olll cer need know it, and It will nut get into the newspapers." McHweeney emphatically denied the statement Im puted t him. ,' . ': ' He was on the stand, the most of the day aud the greater part of the time was under Major Warren's searchtsJC cross-examination, the intent of which was that the detective agency had ar rested Luce and Bateman without the j simuow or evioence, nd once na-ving them as prisoners endeavored in many ways to break them down and make them tell something which might be of value to the detectives later on and tht falling to do this they wantsd to settle the matter. Luce and Bateman were under lock and key In Barring & MeSweeney's quarters in the Commonwealth build-, ing from the evening of Dec. 14 to the afternoon of the next day. Mr. Me Sweeney was asked by Major Warren If he was running a branch office of the county Jnll at his quarters. Chief of Police Simpson took the stand after Detective McSweeney. He saw the defendants at the central po lice station after the fire, about two hours after It, and they made state ments then which were written out by Desk Sergeant Deiter. The papers were exhibited to the chief and he Identified them. They were submitted In evi dence and read to the jury. What the papers contained was simply some par ticulars already related as to the whereabouts of the defendants on the night of the fire, before, at the time of, and after it. TESTIMONY FOK THE DEFENSE. When Major Warren's opening ad dress was ended. Attorney Milo J. Wil son was called to the witness stand as the first one to testify In favor of the defense. He swore that as soon as he heard thot Luce and Bateman were un der arrest In Barring & MeSweeney's otllce he went there ns counsel for the former in order to procure his release on bail. Mr. Wilson knew that a Jus tice of the peace or alderman cannot take ball In an arson case and he start ed after supper for Judge Archbald's house to get bail before htm. The Judge had no jurisdiction because the defendants had not been given a preliminary hearing and so they had to stay In the Commonwealth all night, preferring that to the county Jail. Mr. Wilson swore positively that Mr. Mc Sweeney In his presence made the over ture of settlement to Mr. Luce, but the detective did not say anything about money. At this point court adjourned. The defense promises to knock the pins from under the commonwealth's case today. BEFORE JUDGE GUNSTER. Tho Clancy l-nmllv of the Hampton Mixed I'p in n l-'rco Tight. A wrdiet of guilty was returned by the ury that heard the case of the p -nn jnwealth against Martin Kamln skl, charged with stealing J75 from Andrew Bobonls, of the North End. The defendnnt will receive sentence tomor row morning. Michael ("osgrove was tried for bs Fault and battery upon Dr. J. F. Sal try, of (ireen Hidge. District Attor ney Jones conducted the case for the commonwealth, and Attorney J. C. Manning appeared for the defendant. Dr. Sultry, on Feb. 24 last, sent a bill for $7 to Cosgrove, which had remained unpaid for two years. That same even ing the defendant called at the doctor's ojllce, and after a brief conversation, .nit without any cause of provocation, he struck him a heavy blow of his fist on the face. Constable Patrick Roach and Patrolman Thomas W. Evans sei ved the warrant on, him and they testified thut on the way to the lockup the defendant said he was sorry he had not broken the doctor In two. Cos grove admitted he aimed a blow of his list at the doctor, but he denied that he struck him. The Jury brought In a verdict of guilty of simple assault, without the battery. TROUBLES OF THE CLANCYS. William, John and James Clancy, brothers, were tried for assault and battery on their father, Michael Clan cy. It was the funniest case heard In court since they were up last term. The father is about five feet tall and each of the sons is no larger than an ordin ary 10-year-old urchin, though Will iam Is 32, James Is 23 and John Is 20. Ex-Judge Stanton assisted District At torney Jones for the commonwealth, and Attorney John J. Murphy defended the unfllial trio. The Clancys live at the Hampton, in Lackawanna town ship. Two days before last Christmas the old man came home in the evening and was assaulted and beaten by his sons without any cause, he claimed, except that they wanted to put him out of the way. Mrs. Gerrlty, an old woman who must be upward of a century, but who nevertheless smiled ar.d refused to an swer when Mr. Murphy asked how old she Is, corroborated Clancy. She said they knocked him down and then beat him. The old man was badly covered with blood, but he was not seriously In jured. The defendants swore that their father came home drunk and was In his customary fighting mood. They admitted striking him hut said it was necessary to do lt to subdue him. The Jury found Willhim and James guilty and acquitted John. MAHEDY OF MINOOKA. Snmuel Mahedy, of Mlnooko, was tried for carrying concealed deadly weapons. Constable Joseph Woelkers was the prosecutor. Attorney T. V. Powderly defended Mahedy and Dis trict Attorney Jones conducted the case for the commonwealth. The constable had occnslon to arrest the defendant about two months atro and found him urmed with a "billy." Desk Sergeant Deiter, who removed the sleep produc er from Mahedy's hip pocket In the sta tion house, corroborated the constable. The jury had not returned a verdict at adjournment. John Blnblnnlck, of Vnndllng, was put on trial for arson. Victor Parlo's house was burned some time ago and because he heard the defendant make some threats before thnt concluded he set lire to the house. The defendant's claim Is that a spark from a passing locomotive was the cause. The case Is TIot llnisncur yet. VARIETY AT DAVIS. (ircnt Performance Was Given bj Alblnl's .Meteors Yesterday.

MEARS been a. strong; Interest revived In plays of the romantlo order. "Michael Stro goff" Is one of the beat of these, appeal ing to the heart with Its story of love ami patriotism, and making the Jaded theater-goer's pulse beat quicker at its scenes of peril. William Morris, the well-known star, .as Miehael Strogoff, has added new fame to his reputation as a delineator of romantic rules. The scenery and ovstumes have 'all been prepared specially for this production. Special prices of 25 and 50 cents will prevail for the matinee. There la little room for doubt that Carrie Louis' own company, in reper toire. Is proving one of the solid finan cial successes of the present season. In many cities Miss Louis has drawn the largest houses ever known in the theaters and the clever star Is said to have the best supiorting company of her career. Indeed, many prominent critics have declared her to be the Ari adne of repertoire. Negotiations are now pending for Miss Louis' appear ance at the Academy of Music during the week beginning April 20.

Sans Gene," which Is considered as Sardou's most successful comedy, has demon strated conclusively what a great drawing card this beautiful stage pic ture la. Manager Augustus Pttou, un der whose direction the play Is pre sented, has snared no labor, time or money In the production. Miss Kath ryn Kidder In the title role, and Au gustus Cook as Napoleon, have made most emphatic and pronounced hits. The gowns worn in the court scene are wonderful creations of art. "Mme. Sans Gene" will no doubt be one of the society events of the season. MR. S1LL1MAN S LETTER. Pertains to the Recent Criticism of the Traction Company System. General Manager Silllman, of the Scranton Traction company, has re plied to the criticism of the company's system contained In a recent report of the board's public safety committee. The letter will be read at Monday night's board meeting. Following the publicity given the committee's report, President Illsley, from his Philadelphia office, addressed a letter "to the public" which was printed In the city papers. It was a general argument and denial of the committee's allegations. General Man ager Stlliman's letter, however, is said to deal more consistently with the points at Issue and Is a document of tour closely typewritten pages.
