MURDER CASE IS IN
THE JURY'S HANDS
Aa Evening Session of Court Was
Hell
MUCH SPECULATION ON VERDICT
Judge truster's Charge Was De
livercd in tbe EveningThe Day
Was Token l'p with the Argument
of CouunclAtlorney Martin Spoke
Four l!oors--C'ases ia Quarter Ses
sions Court.
It now rests with the Jury what the
fate of murderer Samuel Tonl will be;
the case was given Into their hands at
8.40 o'clock last evening, which was
the time that Judge Ounster concluded
his charre. and although there Is no
telling what the verdict will be, there
are many who Incline to the opinion
that It will mean death to the defend
ant, while a greater number think that
It will not rise higher than second de
gree. Judge Ounster Impressed upon the
Jury that the case Is Important to the
community as well as to the defendant,
and that the evidence should be con
sidered with care, patience, recollection,
Impartiality, and fearlessness. They
must enst aside fear, favor, sympathy,
or prejudice. Cases of this kind depend
Upon the law and fact. The fact de
pends on the evid nee. It Is the duty
of the Jury to harmonize the evidence
in favor of the defendant If possible.
The judge then explained the law clear
ly and comprehensively to them,- and
In such easy and simple style that they
could not fall to be able to differentiate
the degrees of murder and man
slaughter. Upon the part of the defense It Is
alleged that it Is a case of mistaken
Identity, and the defendant did not
know Rafter and had no motive nor
reason to take his life. The evidence
of the defense was then reviewed. On
the part of the commonwealth there Is
positive testimony from two eyewit
nesses proving thut Tonl did the shoot
ing, and of other witnesses who saw the
Hash of the revolver, heard the shots,
and gave corroborative testimony.
THERE MUST BE PROVOCATION.
Words or scandalous language. In
dignities offered to the person, or even
a common assault and battery are not
Bulllclent cause of provocation to war
rant a person In taking the life of
another and the one who takes the life
of another without provocation is guilty
of murder. Tonl was tried on two
counts, the first charging murder and
the second majislauchtcr. There was
very elipht evidence, said Judge Gun
!ter, thr.t It was a ease of manslaughter.
for Ton! hod no other provocation than
that Rafter stumbled against him.
The first count In the Indictment,
charging murder Is of two grades, mur
der of the first degree and murder of the
second degree. When a person wilfully,
deliberately and piomedltatedly takes
the life of another that Is murder of the
first degree, and all other murder is of
the second degree. In this case, said
the court, the lndlsputed evidence shows
that the shooting was done almost Im
mediately after the two men met, and
while the laws presumes that a fully
formed and conscious Intention to kill
can possess the mind of a person In a
flash, yet swiftness is opposed to de
liberation. There are other elements In the case.
The deadllness of the weapon Indicates
on Intention to kill and the use of It on
a vital part of the body may be taken
as an Indication of an Intention to kill.
The one who did the shooting had a
deadly weapon In his possession and he
fired not one, but two shots at Rafter's
body at a part which was vital, a.nd
these facts might be taken as good evi
dence that there was a deliberate Inten
tion to kill. He Instructed the jury
that first they must decide whether the
defendant did the shooting and next
fix the degree of his guilt.
REQUEST OP THE JURORS.
The jurors asked that they be allowed
to take to the jury room with them the
revolver which the commonwealth
claimed was the one used and the two
bullets which were found In Rafter's
body by Coroner S. P. Longstreet at the
autopsy.
When court convened In the morning
John Gallagher was called and after
him John Jenkins testified. Both gave
rebuttal testimony. Jenkins swore also
that Lulgo Flnnello threatened him for
swearing that Tonl was the man who
shot Rafter.
Attorney Martin berran his argument
for the defense at 9.50 and spoke con
tinuously until noon, with the exception
of a few minutes while Juror E. J.
Ward wias attacked with temporary 111
ness. Mr. Martin resumed In the after
noon and did not finish until 3.20, hav
lng occupied In his address about four
hours. The main points In his speech
were that Ross Keogh, one of the prin
cipal witnesses for the commonwealth,
from his own testimony, was tntoxlcat
ed the night of the shooting; that Coun
ty Detective Leyshon was responsible
for the testimony of John Jenkins, the
other eye witness; that Tonl wns a law-
abiding citizen, who never carried a re
volver; and that the shooting was done
by an Italian named Angelo Confortl.
District Attorney John R. Jones made
one of the best closing arguments ever
heard In a homicide case In this county.
In the Boschlno case, he said, three eye
witnesses testified that the defendant
did the killing and several witnesses
In direct opposition swore that Boschl
no was In his own house away from the
scene of the murder when the shots were
fired; yet the Jury found him guilty and
the evidence of the commonwealth
which was not much stronger than In
this case, stood the test of the Supreme
court.
MEROLO CASE CITED.
He cited the Morolo case, the case of
Holmes, the multi-murderer recently
hanged In Philadelphia, and other cases,
and while doing so Attorney Joseph
Brown objected to that mode of argu
ment, bringing those cases to the minds
of the Jury. The court did not take
cognizance of Mr. Brown's objection
however, and he contented himself with
writing down now and again expres
Blons made In Mr. Jones' argument
The district attorney first argued that
the identity of Tonl as the one who did
the shooting was clearly established by
direct and positive evidence. And he
told the jury that he had a hard task
of It to get the witnesses together and
get them to come and tell what they
knew about It. Neither was he, him
self, striving for the blood of the de
fendant; he was simply doing his duty
and doing It honestly.
After arguing on the Identity of Tonl
he dwelt upon the value of human life,
He paid a tribute to the worth of the
deceased, and argued that Tonl was
guilty of a deliberate andi wilful murder
that by firing the second shot he was
possessed of sV Vormed, Intention to
kllL Mr. JorW finished at 4.40 nd

evening- (or the charge of Judge Gun

Cases Disposed of Before Jaace Ed
wards ia No. 2.
Clarence 8. Simpson, of Carbondale,
was tried and found guilty of assault
and battery upon Assistant Postmaster
Marcus Duffy, of the same city. Attor
ney T. P .Duffy, brother of the prose
tor, represented the commownealth and
succeeded in convicting the accused, al
though the latter was represented by
Attorney T. V .Powderly. Jt was At
torney Duffy's first appearance as. a
trial lawyer, and the excellent manner
In which he conducted the case won for
him a compliment from Judge Edwards,
who presided.
Mr. Duffy was graduated from the
Dlcknison Law school at Carlisle a few
weeks ago and admtited to the bar of
Cumberland county. He will not be
regularly admitted to practice In this
county until next Monday, but was spe
cially admitted to try yesterday's case.
His success on his first appearance be
fore a jury and the able manner In
which he conducted the prosecution In
dicate that he has qualities that will
make him successful in his profession.
Simpson, the defendant. Is a barber,
and on Feb. 4 last he attacked Mr. Duffy
and Inflicted severe bouily Injury with
out any provocation. Mr. Duffy, before
becoming assistant postmaster, was a
prominent newspaper man of the Pio
neer City and Is well known in Scran
ton. The Jury promptly returned the
defendant guilty, notwithstanding Mr.
Powderly's able defense. .
Mathew Calvey was tried for assault
and battery on Mrs. Alice Gill. Hon. C.
P. O'Malley was attorney for the de
fendant and Assistant District Attor
ney John M. Harris represented the
commonwealth. Calvey is a young, un.
married mnn, and Mrs. GUI is over 60
years of age. These facts alone would
weigh hard against the defendant, but
Attorney O'Malley made the Jury view
the case In a light favorable to the
young man and a verdict of not guilty
was returned and half of the costs were
saditled on the prosecutrix. She alleged
that one night recently while on her
way home with her husband they col
lided with the defendant accidentally,
and he retaliated by striking her In the
face with his fist It was Mr. O'Mal-
lcy's first appearance as an attorney in
criminal court.
In the case of Joseph Beddoe charged
with malicious mischief by Conrad Ver
now, a verdict of not guilty was ren.
dered and the costs were placed upon
the prosecutor.
George Josle, a Dunmore Italian, Is
on trial charged with assault'and bat
tery on M. H. Banks, who keeps a meat
market In that borough. Senator M. E
McDonald represents the commonwealth
and Attorney C. W. Dawson the de
fendant The substance of the case Is
that Josle and another Italian went to
Mr. Bank's place to purchase some meat
and they ordered more than they had
money to pay for. They wanetd to take
all the meat and have the balance
charged up to their account. He re
fused to agree and they started to quar
rel. Mr. Banks was struck several
times In the face by Josle.
STUBBORN COUNCILMAN.
Business in Olyphant Is at a Standstill
on Account of the Personal Griev
ances of Us Coubcllmen.
The borough of Olyphant has been for
four months like a Bhip without a rud
der, notwithstanding that it has been
dry-docked In court more than once in
that time. On March 2 the council met
for the purpose of organization and the
following twelve comprised the list of
borough fathers: William H, Davis,
Thomas Gannon, P. W Fadden, Patrick
Dempsey, Thomas Patton, R. J. Gal
lagher, J. J. Flynn, Michael O'Holleran,
Thomas F. Curran, William Tlnsley,
William Rognn and John Keegan.
Davis wanted to become president, so
did Curran; and each had five support
ers. That created a deadlock. Meet
ings were held from time to time until
the 11th of March, and at that meeting
three ot Curran's supporters were not
present when the gavel descended. His
other three were, and that left the meet
lng In charge of the Davis men, who
were there six Btrong. The latter took
up the election of president and six
votes were cast for Davis, the three
Curran men voting in the negative. Lai
er on the other three Curran men came
In. and when they heard what had oc
curred they immediately withdrew and
took the other three out.
The court was petitioned to set aside
the action of the Davis men In choosing
Davis president. They alleged that al
though Davis got a majority of the
votes at the meeting on the 11th, yet
he did not get a majority of the eoun
ell and for that reason was not legally
elected. Judge Edwards decided oni
April 18 that the election of Davis was
legal, A majority of the votes If
quorum wus present, Judge Edwards
held, was sufficient
Since then both factions have sn,t and
sulked at each other. The Curran men
refuse to take an Interest In the council
and the Davis men not having a ma
jority cannot go on with business. Bur
gess E. J. Howard, by hla attorneys
Warren & Knapp, yesterday filed
petition In court for a writ of manda
mus to compel the councllmen to attend
to their duties. The writ is made re
turnable next Wednesday at 9 o'clock,
and the derelict councllmen will either
cease their "1 don't like you any more'
tactics or the court may declare their
offices vacant and appoint persons who
will act
The war between the councllmen has
left the borough, according to the bur
gess, without a tax levy, which Is usu
ally made early in March, and the re
sult is that $22,000 worth of out stand
ing bonds are due and unpaid, and or
ders amounting to several thousands
of dollars are also due. The petition
asks the court to Issue a mandamus
to compel the council to levy a tax and
that means, of course, that they must
attend to business.

COPCORAiTS DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
So Decides the Jury Sworn by Coroner
' Longstreet in the Case.
THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS HEARD
John T. Casey Talked to Corcoran
Between 9 and 10 O'clock Taesday
Night and Saw Him Lie Down oi
the Lounge oa W hich He Was After
wards Pound DeadTwo Jets
Turned Oa.
That Patrick Corcoran.the South Side
saloon-keeper who was suffocated by
Illuminating gas Tuesday night, came
to his death by accident was the sub
stance of the verdict rendered by the
jury in Coroner Longstreet's office yes
terday afternoon. There was nothing
In the verdict to Indicate whether the
accident was due to carelessness by
the deceased or by semeone else. The
evidence of one witness tended to show
that the case was one of suicide.
The Jury met In the coroner's office
on Wyoming avenue at 4 o'clock, hav
ing on Wednesday morning adjourned
after hearing evidence at Corcoran's
home. John T. Casey testified that on
Tuesday night between the hours of 9
and 10 o'clock he stopped at Corcoran's
place for a glass of beer. Corcoran
was lying In the adjoining room where
the following morning he was found
dead. In response to Casey's request
Corcoran came and waited on him.
The latter, so the witness said, ap
peared to be in good spirits and was
sober. He left the bar and resumed
his posture on the lounge before the
witness had finished drinking his beer.
MR. TOBIN'S EVIDENCE.
The most Important evidence In the
case was that of M. J. Tobln. He was
passing the saloon Wednesday morn
ing about 6 o'clock and his attention
was, attracted by the crying of Mrs.
Corcoran and her dnughter who ap
peared In the street doorway as Tobln
was parsing. He went inside with
them and Into the room where the body
lay.
Tobln said he found It almost Impos
sible to enter the room on account of
the gas. He discovered that the two
stop-cocks on the gas-jets, which were
separated by two or more feet, were
turned on. He shut them off and as
sisted In opening the doors and win
dows. The fact that two gas-jets, Instead of
one, were turned on did not have any
welsht with the Jury who, after a few
minutes deliberation, returned the fol
lowing verdict:
VERDICT OF JURT.
"We, the undersigned Jurors, find
that Patrick Corcoran came to his
death on June 24 by being asphyxiated
by Illuminating gas, and we further
believe his death to have been acci
dental."
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning. The remains will be taken
from the residence at 9 o'clock to St.
John's church at which a high mass of
requiem will be begun at 9.30. Inter
ment will be made in St. Joseph's Cath
olic cemetery, Minooka.
STIRRINQ RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted at a Recent Meeting by the
Olyphant McKinlcy Club.
The following resolutions were unan
imously adopted at the meeting of the
Olyphant McKlnley club:
We, the McKlnley Republican club of
Olyphant, accentuate In the most positivo
manner our belief that-it is to the true
interests of the people, and our only way
to prosperity, is the continuous activity of
all our Industrial energies, and that they
snouiu do absolutely protecetd from for
eign competition and the pauper labor
from foreign countries; and we believe
this can be only effected by a protective
tariff such as will not only afford sutti
cient revenues to meet every government
expense, but be an absolute safeguard to
the wage earner, agriculturist and manu
facturer, against all and every line of
competition that may emanate from any
source other than that of the United
States. Thus may all Industry be regard
ed In equity and justice to our wholo peo
ple.
We are resolved that honesty Is not only
the best policy, but absolutely necessary
to us to maintain our character and stand
Ing among the most highly civilized
nations, and we can only do that and
serve our own best interests as individuals
and as a nation In requiring that the earn
ings of agriculture and trade, and the
wages of labor should bo paid in money
tat is intrinsically worth In all the mar.
kets of the world what It purports to be
worth, and we demand the maintenance of
the existing gold standard of value and we
demand that the government shall nt all
times redeem Its obligations in money
udopted by all the most civilized nations
of the world as of the highest standard
and we resolutely oppose the free colnago
or silver at a ratio of 10 to 1.
We believe In a vigorous American for
elgn policy; we believe that our nation
should dominate as to this Western Hem
isphere; and we llrmly bellevo the time
is ripe for us to assert and maintain
the "Monroe Doctrine' 'and If such is not
acknowledged aslnternatlonnl law the time
is at hand when this nation should' settle
the question once and for all times and
