FISHER TO ACQUITTED
Jary Broighti Verdict last
Evening.
THEY TOOK SEVERAL BALLOTS
It Was tba Shortaat Marder Trial la tba
Uistory of Laokawaana Coaatr.
Tba Defendant Exhibited
Great Uapplneaa.
Never before In the criminal history
of Lackawanna county has the trial of
a man Indicted for murder taken up so
short a space of time as that of Charles
Fisher, the young Russian Polander,
charged with taking the life of Michael
Rotoskl. at the Ridge, In Archbald bor
ough, on Feb. 10 last. The case opened
at-10 o'clock Monday morning and it
required until 2.30 In the afternoon to
select a Jury. Then the testimony for
the commonwealth was begun, and It
was finished at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. The testimony for the defense
was very limited, and waa all heard
by 2 o'clock In the afternoon. The case
went to the Jury at 3.35. Judge Ed
wards In his charge said the Jury could
not tind a verdict of ilrst degree. At
8 o'clock last night a verdict of not
guilty was returned.
John Valvoskle was the drat witness
for the commonwealth yesterday morn
ing. In his house the right took place.
He denied that he saw the blow struck:
he saw Fisher with a chair In his hand
and saw Rotoskl fall on the floor, but
did not see the blow. He was the last
witness the commonwealth had, but At
torney llallentlne made a motion that
the court order District Attorney Jones
to call Joseph Valvoskle, who was an
eye witness of the. murder and who had
been subpoenaed.' Mr. Jones objected,
stating that the marl had been doing
his best lately to assist the defendant.
Judge Kdwards decided that Valvoskle
should be put on the stand and he Was
called. He testified that soon after Ro
toskl came In a fight started. Rotoskl
struck the defendant first with his list
and then the latter picked up a chair
with both hands and dealt him a blow
on the head. Here the commonwealth
rested.
STORY OF THE DEFENSE.
Attorney Ballentine opened for the
defense. It would be shown, he said.
that the blow which killed Rotoskl was
Indicted by Michael Fisher and nut the
defendant. A few character witnesses
were swnrn and they testified to the de
fendant's reputation as a law-abiding
citizen,
iVarden--Thoma-Jay-of-the-routity
Jail, testified that the defendant had
two ugly cuts above the forehead and
was bruised on the sides and. back
when he was brought to prison
County Detective Leysnon was put
on the stand to tell why Michael Fisher,
an Important factor In the case, was
not present. Mr. Leyshon said he had
a subpoena for him and endeavored to
tind him. but was unsuccessful. Fisher
has skipped out,
The defendant was next put upon the
stand. He cannot talk English and his
testimony was interpreted by Martin
Woyshner. He weighs 165 pounds and
is an able bodied young man for one
who will not be 20 years old until next
October. He presents a peaceable ap
pearance and was dressed in a neat suit
of blue clothes,
He came to this country from Russian
Poland three years and seven months
ago and lived In Pittsburg, Wllkes-
Barre and Archbald. To the latter
place he came In November. 1895. He
worked In the breaker and on the day
of the murder there was no work. On
that morning 'he was at Valvoskle's
house. Michael Fisher and Josenh Ca-
poso were there and they drank a pint
of whisky, several quarts of beer and
afterward got ukeg of beer. Thev
wer:iridulglnR,ln the contents of the
keg when Rotoskl came In about 2
ocmcK. koioski's wife was after him
to go home, and Michael Fisher tried
to. prevent him from going with her.
Rotoskl and Michael Fisher began
quarreling; The defendant tried to
separate them and was struck In the
lace ror his efforts at peacemaking.
WHY HE LIFTED THE CHAIR,
He said he-lifted the chair to ward off
the blows which were aimed at him
Michael Fisher, in the affray, struck
Rotoskl on the head with a flatlrc-t or
something or that sort. The defendant
was covered with blood and his under
shirt that h wore on that day spat
tered with his own blood was offered
in evidence. Tli defense then rested
County Detective Leyshon was called
In rebuttal. He swore that the defend
ant told him the day after the murder
that tho cuts he had were received in
a fight out In the yard after Rotoskl
was fatally wounded
Attorney W. Gaylord Thomas mode
the closing plea for the defense and
maintained that it was not the de
fendant who struck the fatal blow.
Diamci Attorney jones went over
the evidence and In concluding he
urged the Jury to show by their verdict
that human life Is sacred and no man
has a right to take It.
Judge Edwards began his charge to
the Jury a few minutes before 3
o'clock. The law, he says, holds human
life most sacred, and no one Is allowed
to take it unless under the most ex
ceptional circumstances. In the case
on trial he Instructed the Jury that thev
could not find the defendant guilty of
murder or tno first degree. The law
and the evidence did not warrant such
u conviction.
fiO FIRST DEGREE VERDICT,
, .He then explained the difference the
law makes be'ween manslaughter and
murder. As he took -ny frm th"
Jury the consideration of murder of
the"flrst degree, and the defendant waa
charged In the indictment with two
counts, murder and manslaughter.
the verdlo'.. must be either murder of
the second degree or voluntary man
slaughter. 1
Judge Edwards said It was his dutv
to Instruct the Jury on a few general
principles oi law. une oi these Drtn
ciples, and it has become a leading
feature In England and America, Is
that every dorenuant is presumed In
nocent until he Is proven guilty: an
other Is that the burden of proof is on
the commonwealth, and the defendant
must be proven glulty beyond a rea
sonable doubt. The defense offered
evidence to prove that Michael Fisher
had sruck Rotoskl with a llatlron be
fore Charles Fisher struck him with
the chair. Referring to this feature of
the case, Judge Edwards said that If
the Jury believed that the two Fishers
aided ana auettea each other in a
common purpose to Inflict bodily harm
on the deceased, and that his death
was the result of such common pur
pose, men ne woum ne guilty the
same as If the blow he struck with
the chair was the one which resulted
in death. The Jury retired to deliberate
upon a verdict at 8.35. It was the
shortest murder case on record In this
county. -
VERDICT OP NOT GUILTY.
At 7.30 last evening the Jury In the
Fisher murder case brought In a ver
dict of acquittal. Judge Edwards had
told the Jury when he gave the case
into their hands that If they should not
agree until after court adjourned he
would come to the court house at 7.30
and receive the verdict then If they
naa agreea.
Court Messenger A. 8. Newton turned
on the lights in the. main room at 7.20
a few minutes-later Deputy Warden T,
J. price led tne defendant in hand
cuffed, arid a little later Attorneys W,
Gaylord Thomas and C, C. Ballentine,
Who defended him. made their appear
ance. Besides those, only , Deputy
uieric or tne courts t. p, vanieia and
a few citizens were present when Judge
u;awaras came upon tne oencn.
The Jury filed from their room Into
court In charge of Tipstaves Butto and
&euer. .uarryu. jJunuam, OMtuar ox

waa foreman of the Jury. He waa flrat
and had the sealed envelope contain
ing the verdict. It was banded to
Judge Edwarda, who tore It open.
glanced at it and returned It to Clerk
Daniels, who read It aloud. "Gentle
men of the Jury, hearken unto your
verdict as the court hath recorded It.
In the case wherein the commonwealth
is Dlaintiff and Charles Kosolaskle.
alias Charles Fisher, defendant, you
say you find the defendant not guilty."
They nodded assent, and Judge Ed
wards, turning to them, said briefly
that their verdict waa possible under
the evidence. He hoped they were not
put to any great inconvenience and
excused Mr. Dunham from further at
tendance at this term of court.
THE DEFENDANT HAPPY.
As the Jurors were leaving the court
room Attorneys Thomaa and Ballentine
shook hands with each one of them.
Mr. Price asked the court what to do
with the defendant and was told that
there being no other charge against
him he should be given his liberty.
Fisher was ao happy that he laughed
hysterically for a minute or two. He
had a Bhort conversation with his at
torneys, and they advised him. as
he is Just entering the threshhold of
mannood, to learn a prontaDie lesson
from his experience and never be seen
In a criminal court again as a defend
ant.
The advice r eased him and ne said
that he would follow it out and an
other resolution he would stick tu was
to leave the Ridge and never go there
any more. Having no money nor any
friends he decided to go back to Jail for
the night and leave there this morn
ing to begin life anew. He was in Jull
seventy-one days yesterday.
A Tribune reporter asked Mr. Dun
ham how the Jury stood and he said
that several ballots were necessary.
When they went out It was about six
for conviction and six for acquittal.
They had the dead man's skull In the
Jury room with them and came to the
conclusion that the blow which shat
tered U was Inflicted wltn the naiiron
which Michael Fisher wielded, who Is
now out ot the reach of the law many
leugues away across the sea.

THE MOON TOO FAB NORTH.
Flerea Storms May Follow Its Southward
Courae-Prof. C. Colca' View of the
Phenomenal Heat That Have Ex
perienced Poring the Past Two Weeks.
On April 10 the moon passed over
the celestial equator northward, and
on April 14 we noticed by the vlbrame
ter that the lunar rays photographed
upon the degree lines were 2'4 degrees
higher than ever before recorded by the
vibrameter. On April IS the extreme
point of the moon's north declination,
(declination. In astronomy, means the
distance from the equator), an increase
of 34 degrees were recorded. As a rule
the distance of the moon's north and
south departures from the equator Is
about 29 degrees on either side, so that
the extremes are 1.8 degrees. But on
April IS the moon's north declination
was ii'h degrees, which was the cause
of the unprecedented warm weather
that we have experienced during the
month of April.
The moon will swing1 back to the
equator on April 24 and then travel
southward until April 30, and If she
makes the same strain on her south
declination as she did on her north, a
young blizzard will be almost sure to
foolow on her trail as she swings back
toward the equator, which point she
will reach on May 7. If she falls short
of her usual south declination 3V4 de
grees that will balance things and fine
weather will continue; but If she does
not. a sweeping cold wave will kill the
fruit and do untold damage In many
parts of the world. Professor Coles, in
