TRYING TO PROVE AN ALIBI
Fi-Lieatcaaat-Uoveraor L. 1. Watras
Testimony Show That II WoaU Bo
a Loaa to Bar lb Factor
for the IaaaraaM Money.
An unusually large amount of testi
mony was heard for the defense yes
terday in the I.uce-Bateman arson
t.-ial, and it was one of most favorable
character for the two men on trlaL
There was very positive evidence to
show that Luce and Bateman were not
near the How ley building at the time
when the torch was applied, and it
was quite generally conceded that the
other array of effects presented by the
defense will succeed in acquitting the
men of the crime. Bateman was on the
witness stand a long period during the
early afternoon and his story was told
in a very straightforward manner.
The tirst witness called In the morn
ing was K. V. Luce, father of Mr. I.uce,
one of the defendants. The machinery
he said, in the Knitting factory was
worth J2.5O0. He made way for ex
I.ieutenant Oovernor 1 A. Watres,
who was Interested In the factory be
fore it was sold to Mr. Luce. The
transfer of the capital stock was made
on July 23. ISM. to htm.
Mr. Watres said he at one time paid
$1,213 In cash for some machinery and
the comoany again purchased $4.kh
worth more. There was. however. $".10
worth of the machinery sold, but after
that the factory was valued at over
B,000. They carried J3.UU0 Insurance.
The company sold out to Mr. I.uce be
cause It was not a paying Investment,
but he was told that Mr. Luce conduct
ed the business at a profit. Mr. Luce
bought the business for $1,000. Mr.
Watres testified to Luce's good charac
ter. R W. LUCK RKCALLED.
It. W. Luce was recalled and he testi
fied that when the Insurance carried by
the company before his son bought it,
had expired, he issued Insurance to the
amount of $2.(H0 on the machinery, $ .00
on the stock, and $150 on the motor.
Mr. Watres hud already testified to the
value of the machinery. The witness
said In his Judgment the stock was
worth at least $650. On he date of the
tire the defendant was at the Insurance
office until 5.30 p. m.
Alderman Fred Fuller, of the Six
teenth ward, testified that the warrant
for the arrest of Luce and Bateman
was sworn out before him on Dec. 1,
lxM. upon Information sworn to by
Chief of Police Simpson.
Joseph L. Medway. superintendent of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and W ot;
ern machine shops for twenty-eight
years, testified that kerosene oil is used
In the shops for thinning whale oil, for
cleaning machinery, and for cleaning
the hands of the machinists. He has
known Luce from childhood and never
heard aught, but good of him at any
time. M. W. Cummlngs, of olyphant.
and James J. Lynch, of the same place,
testified to Luce's good reputation.
They knew him as general manager of
Johnson's store for over ten years. Jas.
Collins, of Ureen Kldge, gave testimony
concerning the Howiey building the day
of the tire. He is a carpenter and was
employed by John J. Howiey putt ng
up an addition to the rear of the
building
MRS. HOWLEY'S TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Katie Howiey, bookkeeper In the
office of Luce & Son, testified that the
defendant was there until 5.30 In the
evening, when he went to the mill.
Benjamin 8. Lewis swore that he in
spected the second and third floors the
day after the fire and could see no
evidences of flames. On the fourth
floor, however, a part of the woodwork
was charred. ,
He has known Mr. Luce for several
year and testified to his good charao

USE OF KEROSENE OIL.
He said that kerosene oil was used
to dilute machine oil and to polish the
engine, as well as to clean grease spots
off the hands of the workmen. For a
week before the fire Luce had spoken to
him quite frequently about devoting
an evening to going to tne tactory anu
taking an Inventory of the stock so
that he might know what material ne
would have to order for a busy winter
season. Bateman knew of ' his own
personal knowledge from being rami
liar with the books and papers of the
Knitting company rmn ttn?rp ww
enough of orders on hand to Keep the
factory going for a long time.
Speaking about his incarceration In
the office of Barring & McSweeney, he
said that the most improved and the
latest patterned devices were employed
to extort a confession from him.
Kelghron. the detective who guarded
him, offered him liquor to drink and
recommended It as a fine nerve restorer,
Kelghron pretended to be an ex-Jail
bird after a term of three years In the
"pen" for arson, and he went on with
a harrowing recital of prison life and
diet. The convicts were forced to labor
at the stone crusher all day In the boll
Ing sun and they are refreshed
at meal time with beautiful (?) soup.
BATEMAN SAW LUCE.
When Kelghron had finished his
graphic account of the routine of pris
on life, the door of the room opened
and Bateman saw Luce In the next
room In charge of a keeper. Kelghron
said that Luce had made a statement
throwing all the blame on Bateman,
and he advised Bateman to no longer
hold back what he knew about It, but
tell the whole truth. To this Bateman
answered that If an Innocent mat) need
ed money and Influence to set aside a
charge of crime against him. then, of
course, he having neither, would get
soaked. This is the expression Bate
man said he used and not the one Im
puted to him, which was that, "Luce
has lots of money and can get free, but
I'll get soaked."
The witness told of the number of
girls employed at the fuctory. There
were sixteen or eighteen knitters, six
or eight menders, one forelady, and four
or Ave others. The factory at the time
of the fire was operating on a busy
basis. William Harper and John Lllll-
brldge, prominent cltlxens of Blakely.
were sworn as character witnesses and
testified to Luce's reputation as an hon
est and law-abiding citizen. .
At this stage the case assumed a
most important phase. A. C. Fuller,
treasurer of the Scranton Stove works,
was put on the stand. He swore that
about 9.10 on the night. of the Are he
was on hi way up Washington avenue,
and at the postofflo he met Luce Just
coming out. They walked alone to
gether to the corner of Lindnr atrect
and Mr. Fuller asked Luce to go to
the armory, where a Republican rally
waa In progress. Mr. Fuller waa com
ing from - the Frothlngham theater,
where the main rally was held. That
waa the night Governor Hastings, Con
gressman Urow and other distinguish
ed men were In town. Luce refused
to go to the armory, saying he was In
a hurry to go home. They parted at
the corner of Washington avenue and
Linden street. Mr. Fuller also gave
character testimony.
Attorney O. B. Partridge, whose of
fice Is In the same building, 421 Lacka
wanna avenue, where the offices of R.
W. Luce & Son are located, waa the
next witness. Mr. Partridge was pre
paring to leave for the Frothlngham
and Luce came to the door, saluted
him, and passed out. This was Just
about o'clock. Mr. Partridge was not
positive whether it was a few minutes
before or after the hour, but he know
that he went directly to the theater.
THAT FIXED THE TIME.
Senator J. C. Vaughn, who shares
Mr. Partridge's office, was on the atage
of the Frothlngham and he saw him
enter. Senator Vaughan looked at his
watch and saw that It was about 9.05.
The reason they were figuring time so
accurately that night was this: Mr.
Partridge la treasurer of the Common
wealth Building and Loan association.
and Senator Vaughan is secretary. That
was pay night and at 8.30 always on
pay nlk'hts they begin to sell shares
of stock. There were only two shares
bought and It, consequently, took only
a short while. The meeting then ad
journed. As Senator Vaughan was ab
sent the double duty of secretary and
treasurer fell upon Mr. Partridge, and
when the senator saw him come Into
the theater It struck him right away
that there was not much business done
and he looked at his watch to see what
time it was.
George H. Blrdsall and Miss Jennie
McKenna were sworn, the former clv-
ing testimony with regard to Insurance
on the factory, and the latter giving an
estimate or tne stock. Their stories
corresponded to what was already
sworn to on these points.
Testimony establishing an alibi for
Bateman was given by the next three
witnesses and it was such as to clear
him of the crime. Charles Billings, a
conductor in the employ of the Scran
ton Traction company, his wife, and his
sister, Mrs. Susie Fish, were the three
witnesses. Bateman boarded with
them In Kressier court the time of the
fire. Mr. Billings swore that the de
fendant came home that night about 9
o'clock or a few minutes afterward
and went to bed soon afterward. He
was In bed twenty-five minutes when
the fire alarm sounded. And when he
came home he had no overcoat, nor
had he hezun to wear one at all that
season. Mrs. Billings corroborated her
husband, and so did his sipter, Mrs.
Fish. Miss Maggie Henderson was
positive the man who ran against her
had an overcoat on his arm. Mrs. Bil
lings said she had not seen Bateman
with an overcoat before the fire since
he came to board with them and there
was not any in his room, unless it was
packed away In his trunk.
PERSON COULD NOT SEE.
Attorney George M. Watson and H.
J. Chapman swore that a person stand
ing at the vvarman laundry near tne
corner of Penn avenue and Linden
street could not distinguish a person
half way down the block In the direc
tion of the Howiey building. They
went down there one evening at the re
quest of Mr. Luce and took note of the
surroundings. After this the defense
proposes to read a part of the testimony
given at the preliminary hearing to
prove that what Borne of the witnesses
swore to was an Impossibility. The
case will not close today and will ex
tend Into next week.
BEFORE JUDGE GUNSTEK.
Samuel Mahed Acquitted of Carrying
Concealed Deadly Weapons.
A verdict of not guilty was returned

dition of Professor T. J. Davlcs' new
song. "Out of the Deep," which was

Bound for Jeasap.
Health Officer Mahedy, of Winton
borough, received a communication a
few days ago from Dr. Lee, secretary
of the state board of health. Impart
ing the unwelcome news that among
a batch of Polish Immigrants that land
ed this week at the port of Philadel
phia there are symptoms of a mild
form of smallpox, and that some of the
newcomers were en route for Jessup.
Dr. Mahedy and Dr. Wilson, of that
place, paid a visit of inspection to a
district called "Hungarian Flats."
which Is situated near the Delaware
and Hudson station in Peckvllle, and
they were Informed that a lately ar
rived Polander, domiciled on the second
floor of Andrea Snomollck's hutel, was
111 and had symptoms of smallpox.
They examined him and decided to put
a placard on the house; but the notice
was disregarded to the extent that the
hotel was open for business and there
was no diminution In the trade done at
the bar. The most of his customers
are foreign and the notice was prob
ably as Intelligible to them as If It
were written In Volapuk.
President Burke, of the borough
council, Is quoted as having stated that
as soon as It Is sure that the disease
from which thin particular patient Is
suffering Is small pox, official action will
be taken to have the house quaran
tined. Meanwhile the doctors are un
able to agree upon whether It Is the
dread disease or not.
PATIENT WAS REMOVED.
The man has since been removed
from Snomollck's hotel and Is now In
a thickly Inhabited part of the "Flats."
The residents of Jessup are consider
ably agitated concerning the matter,
and much comment is expressed be
cause the man was not taken In charge
and cared for so that the contagion will
not have a chance to spread.
The small pox case at Prb?eburg a
few months ago Is a thing of the past.
The patient Is better and the scare is
over. But immediate steps were taken
there to prevent a possible spread of
the disease by not allowing any persons
to visit the houBe, or any of the people
of the house to mingle with the people
outside. -

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Under this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.
THE CURRENCY Ql ESTION.
Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: Will you kindly give a free
silver advocate space to show the dishon
est position of the gold men? The cry for
an "honest dollar," "Sound Money" and
other like phrases are used for the sunie
reason as the thief who cries "Stop
thief!" to divert the attention of the pub
lic from themselves and thereby get the
innocent party in the toil.
The whole currency question resolves
ltsiif down to this. Is It rlKht or honest
to change a contract after It is made, with
out the consent of all concerned? The an
swer must be. Certainly not. The next
question is, What is money, or what is the
principal function of money? Something
that will discharge a debt. The Unlttvl
States government in 1793 (the period of
the first coinage act) proclaimed to all
Its people if you go In debt to the extent
of $1. or any other amount, you can dis
charge the debt by the payment of i 8-10
grains or gold, or grains or silver,
mil) fine for every dollar of your indebted
nessfree and unlimited coinage of both
metals, I defy and challenge contradic
tion from any man or woman on the face
or the earth.
Now, under the circumstances men
tioned, millions upon millions of debts
have been contracted, both public and pri
vate, and when the creditor asks or de
mands anything more valuable he is seek
ing to take an unfair, a dishonest advan
tage of the debtor, and yet these same
people who set themselves up as the
apostles of honesty have the temerity '.o
say: "If we must have silver, make the
ratio 32 to I." What Is the plain English
of that demand? It Is this: "We loaned
you a dollar containino' 412 trains of ail
ver, but you must now pay us with one
coniauung ks grains.
Away with such dishonesty! Any one
who wishes and who has an unbiased mind
can see through their gauiy, fallacious
and dishonest arguments. The silver men
ask nothing unfair or dishonest. They
only ask tne rig lit to pay their debts un
der the same conditions they were con
traded, via.: free and unlimited coinage of
Dotn metais at the ratio or is to l. Any
oiner uouar is not an nonesi aouar.
Respectfully yours,
Willis H. Lawrence,
