IBE FISEER DM TRIAL
Defendant Killed - Michael Rotos.1
With a Chair.
THE CASE bEGL'X YESTERDAY
It Is Oa Befora Judge Edwards la the
. Mala Coart Boon-A Sister ofthe
Dead Man's Wlfa Describes
the Wow.
Charles Kosoloskie. alias Charles
Fisher, was put on trial yesterday in
the main court room before Judge Ed
wards for the murder of Michael Ho
toskl at the "Kidge." Archbald bor
ough, on Monday. February 10. last.
District Attorney John It. Jones is
proft-cutlnc the case for the common
wealth and Attorneys W. Gaylord
Thomas and C. O. Uallentlne represent
the defendant. r
A month or so after Fisher was com
mitted to Jail he sent for Attorney
John T. Martin and asked him to take
chnrpre of the defense. Mr. Martin
came Into court a week ago and said he
could not be expected to undertake the
case without compensation. The court
allowed him to withdraw his appear
ance for Fisher and Attorneys Thomns
and liallentlne were assigned to look
after the defendant's Interests, as he
has no money to engage counsel.
At lft o'clock In the morning the task
ot selecting a jury was begun and it
took until 2.H0 in the afternoon to
agree. u:on. twelve who- are not op
posed to capital punishment If it Is
warranted by the evidence. The Jury
Is as follows:
S. N. Kenjamin. druggist. 8ranton.
Alexander Simpson, Jr., nu-rohunt, Si-ran-
ton.
Kennett King, farmer, North Ablngton.
James H. Hopewell, metnl plater, Scran

KILLED WITH A CHAIR.
At 2.85. District Attorney Jones open
ed the case to the Jury and stated plain
ly and In a veiy simple manner what
he expects to prove by the testimony
of eye-witnesses, nnd he believed that
It would be shown tliut the killing was
willful and deliberate and a verdict of
murder In the first degree is warranted.
The wound which caused Kooski's
death was a fracture of the skull. In
flicted with a chair. The blow was so
violent that the bone was Imbedded In
the brain and the man died. at 4 o'clock
the next day. The story of the killing
was told by three witnesses.- mis.
Mary Sliambuiskle was the first to
testify. She is a sister of the dead
nan's wife. The house where the mur
der waa dor.e Is a double tenement
dwelling. She and her husband and
Inm v live III one Halt of I lie nouse unci
John Valvoskle and family live in the
other part, on the Sunday before tne
murder there was a, cnristening. at vai
voskie's hikI It was attended with fun
ami frullo. ' Liquid refreshments were
consumed, but on Monday there was
tiHiice and (inlet until Hotoskl came 111
Charles Fisher, the defendant, and hiM
brother Mlcliuel and a, few others were
present.
Hotoskl bad been til but a short lime
when his wife came after him to go
home. Michael Fisher stepped rorwaru
mill advised Kotoskl not I'o heed her.
that If his wife came after him like
I till I h would immediately instruct her
i hi urn or If- she- didn't he would
proceed to show her that It would be to
her interest to go. Hotoskl wus waver
ing, nut knowing whether to go with his
wife or stay. The defendant, who hud
iviiiulned ill the background up to this
point, came forward with an uplifted
chair-anil settled the question. He Is
only'iO years of age, bu ho Is strong
und muscular. He struck Rotoski on
the h.-iul and fractured the skull. He
was hindered from continuing the at-tn.-u.
fend was nut out of the house,
When he got on the street he picked
up a club und was going about like a
roaring lion tor a time.
THK DF-AD MAN'S WIFE.
Mrs. rtostoskl, the dead man's wife,
wns next brought In to give testimony.
The commonwealth's witnesses are not
permitted to hear the testimony of one
another to remove from them' the
temptation to make their stories dove
tall. Mrs. Rostoskl said she followed her
husband to take htm away from Val
askte's house. When she went In nnd
bade him come home Michael Fisher
Interposed and would not allow him to
go wi'h her. She did not remain more
than a few minutes. In a short while
thereafter the news reached her that
there had been b fight In which her
husband had been struck by Charles
Fisher. They brought her husband
home and he died the next, day at 4
o'clock.
William Pasco, a young man who was
present, was called to testify but he
was out in a shanty when the blow was
struck and his testimony was only hear
say. Martin Woyshner had to be pressed
Into service to interpret the testimony
up to this point.
Coroner 8. r. Iongstreet was next
called to the stand. The doctor had a
part of the dead man's skull wrapped
up In a newspaper. He held an au
topsy the day after Rostoskl died and
explained the cause of death by show
ing the skull to the jury. -It was In
the same condition as the coroner found
It at the autopsy except that the brok
en pieces of bone were kept together
by means of small copper wires. The
ton of the skull was broken In sixteen
pieces the fracture extended along the
center and lacerated the brain and
nerve center. - ;
CHAIR MIOHT HAVE PONE IT.
Dr. Longstreet's opinion was that the
blow was struck by a blunt Instrument
and a chair such as was exhibited In
court could have done it. The case will
not occupy much time as the common
wealth's side will close today.
The chair Is an ordinary house chair.
On Its legs are blood stains. District
Attorney Jones showed the chair to Dr.
Longstreet and asked him If the stains
were those of human blood. He said
they looked o be, but would not be
positive without making, a microscopic
examination.
JURY HAS NOT AGREED.
Luce-liateman Jurors still at Variance nt
Midnight.
The Luee-Bateman arson case went
to the jury at 6.30 yesterday afternoon.
and as the twelve men were retiring
judge Arcnbaia said he would come In
answer to the tolling of the court house
bell if they should arrive at a verdict
before midnight. Up to that hour they
had been unable to agree 'and they
went to sleep.
When court convened In the morning
Attorney John F. Scragg began his
argument for the defense. He dwelt
upon the assumption that" there could
be no motive for the defendants to set
lire to the factory for any benefit In
the shape of insurance. While he
spoke In a commendatory strain of the
ability of Detective -McSweeney, he
roundly scored him for the . methods
adopted In his Investigation of the
Howley flre.so-far as his work of Im
pllcatlng the defendants was con
cerned.
Attorney George 8. Horn followed
with the closing argument for the de
fense and he made, un elaborate plea
for acquittal. He went over the evi
dence offered by. the defense In a skill
ful way und presented In forceful
style the story of the defendants.
ATTORNKY O'imiKN'8 ADDRKHS.
Attorney Joseph O'Hrlen argued lust
for the commonwealth. . He took up
thelthread of tircumstantlul evidence
and wove It Into u fabric of guilt. One
point he emphasized, and It was that
In no way could Luce and Batsman
be ignorant, of the preparation made
to destroy the factory, for they ad
mitted that they were at the factory
until a few minutes after 8 o'clock on
the night of the lira. The second and.
third Moors were fixed on In elaborate
style for a fire, and this could not have
been done wlthing the time Luce and
Bateman left the factory and when the
fire waa started.
Mr. O'Urien scoffed at the explana
tion made for the purchase of kerosene.
LKiuls Storms, a boy employed at tne
factory, testified that he was never sent
for this kind of oil before and that the
ran he took to get it was the same one
that he had often got machine oil in
before. Mr. O'Urien said the only con
sistent explanation, in the light of all
the circumstances, for the use of the
kerosene was that it saturated the
waste which was stuffed In the holes In
the floor.
CHARGE TO THE JURY.
Judge Archbald occupied an hour and
thirty-five minutes in his charge. He
passed upon a number of law points
submitted by the defense and told the
Jury that the testimony of good char
acter was good evidence for their con
sideration. The charge was a model one. It
comprised everything In the law and
evidence bearing on the case set forth
clearly and logically and with an en
tire absence of technicality. No point
was overlooked or so strongly pressed
as to bios the minds of the Jurors for or
aguinst the defendants.

Addresses Delivered by F. S. Goodman
and G. A. Warbnrton, of New York.
Aannal Report of Secretary
F. W, Pcarsoll.
Fifteen years ago yesterday the Rail
road department .of the Young Men's
Christian association was formed, and
last night the anniversary was fitting
ly celebrated. The report of Secretary
F. W. Fearsall. printed below, shows
that the association is proceeding in a
gratifying and flourishing manner.
The programme last night was an ex
cellent one. The platform was decorat
ed with potted plants, behind which sat
the presiding officer, A. H. Masters,
and General Manager W. F. Hallstead
and Freight Agent William Frink. of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad, and A. W. Dickson as
guests of honor. The hall was filled
with members, their wives and daugh
ters, and many invited people.
ISauer's orchestra rendered an over
ture as the beginning of the celebration.
anu an anniversary hymn was sung
afterward. A. W. Dickson offered pray
er, after which the male chorus, com
prising W. W. Jones, F. D. Glover. J.
H. Hartman. William Whitman and
John Jones, sang "Annie Laurie."
There was another selection by Bauer's
orchestra and the chairman Introduced
F. S. Uoodman, secretary of the Rail
road Young Men's Christian associa
tion of New York city. Mr. Goodman
is a pleasing speaker and delivered an
earnest and thoughtful address, en
couraging the members and unfolding
to them the advantages of being on the
right side. A selection by "the orchestra
preceded the introduction of (1. A.
Warburton, general secretary of the
New York State association.
Wis address was an anneal for un.
rlghtness and was Interspersed with
pleasing anecdotes. The male chorus
sang "The Lights at Home," and the
programme concluded with the Dox
ology. A half hour was devoted then
to the enjoyment of refreshments.
THE ANNUAL REPORT.
Secretary Pearsall's report for the
year ended Is a careful review and Is
very interesting. It Is as follows:
The record of the year Just ended Is a
ci-uru ui worn raiiniuuy none by the com
mlttees In charee of Its ilirrrn ,i.,-,
ments. .Much of the work has been done
under difficulties whli-h ha, i.o
dered Ineffectual the best efforts of our
nuiners. -Muiwunsianuing this the tig
ures show several encouruiilnir fu..tu
The building was used to a greater ex
tent than during Hny previous yeur In Its
history. Two hundred und nineteen thou-
santi one nunared 21,000) Is the reported
DIM! MI I I'lllT.'l HU T . . ,hu Iran. r. ..
age for every weey day of six hundred and
thirty-two (tlX!) and a Sunday average of
three hundred und twenty-seven C127I.
Together with this Increase in the ut.
tendance ut the building is un Increase in
the number of baths from 3.7H last year to
5.1i2 during the year Just ended, an In
crease of about 4U per cent., und un in
crease In the use of the library from which
1,154 books were drawn last year and l.Wl
this year, un increase of ubout S3 per cent.
The library was used by 204 of our mem
bers. The figures ulso show a slight In
creuse in the attendance at the Sun.l.iy
meetings and at the members' rallies. We
began the year with S17 members and that
number was gradually Increased until
on lec. I, 1895, we reported Ju2.
XKED OF A BUILDING.
Probably two hundred of these mn
jollied with the expectation that the Itall
roud Department would secure a new
building to accommodate Its growing
work. In this they have been disappoint
ed and from five hundred and fifty two on
the tlrst of December, 1893, the member
ship has fallen to three hundred ami eighty-two
(3821. The normal membership for
a building such as we now occupy Is not
over three hundred and It will not be sur
prising if the membership drops to that
figure, unless a new building Is forthcom
ing. It Is not surprising that men who
joined to secure the privileges announced
In our printed matter should fail to re
new their membership when It Is often im
possible to get a seat In our reading room
and social room and on Saturday the two
tub baths and one shower are entirely in
adequate to supply the demand upon tin in.
Lack of accommodations Is largely, if
not entirely, responsible also for the fall
ing off In the attendance at the educa
tional classes. The game room was used
as a class room during the winter and it
has been necessary many times to ask the
players to leave their games in order to
begin the class exercises. Of course such
conditions are not favorable to growth and
the result Is shown In a decrease of about
40 per cent, from last-year's attendance
when the classes were held In the large
hall which It has been necessary to use for
other purposes during the past winter.
The work-done by the classes has helped
to make the pupils better employes and
those who have attended have testllied
their appreciation of the tuition given.
A foreman of one of the car shops ex
pressed a high appreciation of the value
of the Instruction given In the mechanical
draughting class and said that those of
his men who took the course were mndo
better workmen and that he noticed the
difference in the work done In his shop.
RELIGIOUS WORK.
The religious work has been successfully
conducted during the past year by the sev
eral committees having It In charge.
The Sunday meeting Is ususally ad
.dressed by some minister or prominent
lay worker and occasionally It Is con
ducted by the railroad men themselves.
The Railroad Male chorus, under the
leadership of Professor W. W. Jones, has
rendered valuable service In these meet
ings and the association Is under obliga
tions to them.

have been led Into active ChrlstiAi service

of these men and of our committeemen

of success during the past year.
Early In the year apparatus was secured
and a class organized in physical culture.
The large hall was used for class work
and a competent leader was secured. The
attendance at tlfty-three class drills aver
aged fifteen. This experiment with poor
apparatus and under unfavorable condi
tions has shown conclusively that wl'!i
a fairly equipped gymnasium a strong phy
sical work could be conducted.
TO WHOM THANKS ARK DUE.
The finances of the association are In
good condition. The year began with a
balance of $ijg.M. The year closes with
all bills paid and balance in the
treasury.
The thanks of our association are due to
the management of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western railroad for their
continued support of our work, to the min
isters and lay workers of the city who
have rendered such valuable assistance
In our religious meetings, the ladles who
served as patronesses of the oratorio that
was given on April ti, George 11. Clark.
Aaron V. Bower and many other friends
to whom we are so largely indebted for
favors rendered.
The need of our work Is pre-eminently a
new building. The work has suffered dur
ing the past year because of the poor ac
commodations and unless Immediate aid is
given much that has been gained In tho
past two years will be lost. We give our
hearty thanks to the Giver of all good
gifts for the blessings ot the past year
and look to Him for the aid that is ao
much needed at this time.
