Third Offense.
A depraved case of small boy devel

and Western "Y" on Luckawanna ave
nue. The culprit Is David Williams, 12
years old, a South Side boy, whose
father is a music teacher. The lad had
been arrested twice before for similar
offenses but had escaped punishment.
This time he was caught red-handed.
In his pockets was $1.25 stolen from the
fruit stand and til from a source un
known to the police. All the money was
In silver.
Several times within the last few
weeks the till of the fruit stand In
question had been looted. The thief's
Identity was not known but a watch
was kept for hlin. Last evening while
the woman who helps tend the stand
was selling to a customer outside,
young Williams opened the money
drawer In the booth. The woman saw
him in the act and caught hold of him.
She delivered him to Patrolman Goer

The boy had been nrrested recently
for robbing the money drawer of Cor

the charge was withdrawn. For robbing

WEAK CHARGES
AGAINST BLOCK
No Evidence to Show That the Patrol
man Was Intoxicated.
TESTIMONY OFFERED BY MR. ROCHE
The Select Councilman's Witnesses
Testify Before the Police Com mil
tec and Then Withdrew Without
Waiting for the End of the Inquire
Committee Quickly Decide to Ig
nore t'hurfci s--Cnue of Charges.
A bit or realistic burlesque if the
words can be used In such a case was
enacted before the. police committee of
select council In Mayor Bailey's office
last night. The occasion was the hear
ing of evidence on the charge of drunk
enness made against Patrolman Joseph
Block by Select Councilman John E
Roche, of the Seventh ward.
Mr. Rodin's witnesses were his cous
in, John C. Roche, und his brother, Den
nis Roche. They testified that at 11
o'clock on the night oMIie recent severe
hull and wind storm. July 13, they hnd
seen Patrolman Block perform an Im
modest net while standing on Gibson
street ten or fifteen feet east of Ca
pouse avenue.
Councilman Roche and his two wit
nesses left after presenting this evi
dence. There was a disposition
on the part of the committee
to terminate the case anil Ig
nore the charge without hearing the
evidence for the accused. Several de
fense witnesses were examined, how
ever, and a few moments later a de
cision whs reached which relieves the
patrolman from suspicion even.
CAUSE OF THE CHARGES.
To an Impassioned speech of
Select Councilman John E. Roche,
Democratic member from thp Seventh
ward, during the councilmanlc session
of Thursday. July 18, may be attributed
the allegation which led to the In
vestigation. That night John C. Roche,
the councilman's cousin, and Frederick
Kaiius were to have been named by
Mayor Bailey for patrolmen. A caucus
of the Republican members had decided
to confirm Kaiius' npolutment, but not
that of Roche. Councilman Roche
learned of this and what followed In
that night's session was reported as fol
lows In The Tribune the next day:
When Clerk Lavello had finished read
ing the minutes, Mr. Roche arose and an
nounced that he had a communication
which the mayor hod asked him to pre.
sent under certain contingencies. These
contingencies having arisen, he said, he
would present the communication at that
time if there was no objection. There be.
Ing none he handed up the following which
tho clerk read:
"To the Honorable the Select Council,
City of Scranton:
"Gentlemen At the request of the appli
cant I hereby withdraw from your con
sideration the name of John C. Roche for
the position of patrolman.
"James (I. Bailey, Mayor."
On motion of Mr. Chittenden the nomi
nation was returned to the mayor. A min
ute later, when 1he p.illco coanmittco
was making its report, Mr. Roche arose
and said:
"I wish to call the attention of the com
mittee to the fact that one of their Repub
publican patrolmen, Joseph Block, was
drunk and exposed his person on Capouso
avenue, the night of the storm."
MADE IT AS A CHARGE.
"Do you make that In the shupe of a
charge?" asked Chairman Sanderson.
"Yes, I lay it before the police commit
tee," answered Mr. Roche.
Mr. Chittenden moved that the clerk
make a minute of the charge and notify
the police committee of it. The motion
prevailed.
The police committee requested Mayor
Bailey to attend a public Investigation
of the charge. The result was the pro
ceeding's of last night.
The hearing began at 7.50 o'clock.
Aside from the committee, city officials,
a dozen or more of Block's witnesses
and reporters, there were In the room
perhnps a score of men, some attracted
by curiosity und some out of Interest
In the principals In the case. Grouped
about a large table at the east end of
the room were Block and his attorney,
George M. Wutson; Councilman Roche,
Mayor Bailey, Chief of Police Robllng,
Stenographer C. A. Battenberg'. of the
city solicitor's olllce, and the following
members of select council's police com
mittee: Wade M. Finn, Charles K.
Chittenden, Chuiies F. Wagner, T. J.
Coyne and J. J. McAndrew. Others In
tho room were Street Commissioner
Kinsley, and Select Councilmen Schroc
der and Durr.
MAYOR SWORE WITNESSES.
Mayor Bailey took no part In tho
business of the Investigation beyond
administering; the oath to the wit
nesses. Assistant City Clerk Evan Morris
read that portion of the council minutes
containing Mr. Roche's charge.
John C. Koche wns the first witness.
He was questioned by his cousin, and
on cross-examination by Mr. Watson
and several of the committee. He had
little to tell beyond his having seen
Block in an Indecent net on the night
In question. He knew nothing about
Block being Intoxicated, but had heard
so. There were no women in the vicin
ity. Block was about seventy-five feet
away.
Dennis Roche, the second and last
witness for the councilman, testified to
the patrolman's Indecency, but he had
no conversation with him and didn't
know whether he was sober or not.
Councilman Roche arose on the con
clusion of Dennis Roche's testimony and
said that was all the evidence he had
to offer, (if the charge of drunkenness
he remurked that its correctness could
be inferred from the evidence offered by
his two-- Itnesses. That would be a
charitable way of viewing the officer's
conduct.
Mr. Chittenden and Mr. Finn insisted
that Mr. Roche remain until the con
clusion of the hearing. They indicated
to him that the evidence he had offered
had no bearing on the Intoxication phase
of the case.
"I am through," said Mr. Roche. "You
can Infer the rest. I said I would prove
he (Block) was drunk and I think I
have done so; If not, you can Infer It."
Then followed a brief consultation of
the committeemen, In which they were
of opinion that there was no necessity
for hearing other witnesses. They de
cided, however, to continue as a matter
of form.
PATROLMAN JONES SWORN.
Patrolman George Jones testified that
on the night in question he shared
Block's beat on Capouso avenue until
midnight and that later Block was
transferred to the Penn avenue beat.
The two met at frequent Intervals
throughout the night. Block was sober.
The Tribunes city editor. In response
to questions from the committee, tes
tified that he and a reporter for this
paper talked with Block at 1 o'clock
and that Block, to all appearances, had
not been drinking. Street Commission
er Kinsley gave similar evidence.
Block In his own behalf dented the
charge in whole and In part and swore
he was between New and Phelps streets
during the time when the two Roches
swore they had seen him.
Chief of Police Robllng said that
John C. Rcche in passing his (the chief's)
house on Tuesday, July 14, had asked
him if he knew Block had been drink
ing and off his beat during the preced
ing night. Chief Robllng nottrted Mayor
Bulley of the report and the latter sug
gested that inasmuch as no formal
or written charge had been made that
Block be questioned. To Chief Robllng,
Block said he would surrender his star
if one witness would testify that he
had drank even one glass of liquor that
night. John C. Roche told Chief Rob
ling during the afternoon preceding the
night when Councilman Roche made
his charge, that he was sorry the charge
had been made and It ought to be
dropped. Roche said further that he
had only heard that the accused was In
toxicated. REFORT OF COMMITTEE.
Chief Robllng explained Block's ab
sence from the Capouse avenue beat by
explaining that he had been transferred
to the Penn avenue heat after 12 o'clock.
That was the conclusion of the testi
mony. The committee retired for a few min
utes to the mayor's private olllce. When
they re-appeared It was to Inform
Mnyor Bailey that they had found no
grounds for the charges and would so
report to the next meeting of Belect
council.
Mr. Roclie, before retiring from tho
meeting, gave out the following senti
ment as defining his position:
1 desire to give to the public my pur
pose In renortlng Officer Block to the
councils. Block was roportod to the chief
of police some time before and he was de
clared not guilty by tho mayor and chief
without giving the gentleman who made
the complaint an opportunity to prove
the charges. Not tho slightest Intimation
that his .presence was wanted or when a
hearing would take place was given to
the complainant and he then complained
to me as the councilman in whose ward
the thing occurred.
Taking this case In connection with an
other of which I hud knowledge I came to
the conclusion that the mayor ought to
he given an object lesson and In a way
that would leave an impression. There
fore I determined to make the charge pub
licly, prove It publicly and make this state
ment. Tho other case referred to was where a
policeman made improper proposals to a
respectable woman in a brutally vulgnr
manner. The charge was proven and this
policeman then attempted to ruin tho rep
utation of this honest wife. This is a
pretty serious crime. Men have been shot
for similar crimes and Juries have said
Justly so. Think of it husbands. Your
wife insulted by a public officer sworn and
paid to protect her! And the penalty Im
posed unon this officer and our mayor
was removed from the force In disgrace
oh no, it was suspension from duty for
one day, and tho policeman is still serv
ing the city.
Do yon wonder now thut ' I took the,
course pursued by me In this case. Had
the circumstances been different at the
time or making the complaint it would
have been worded differently, but I was
provoked at the time because two Repub
lican councilmen who knew these facts
as well as I did were by hate, slander and
villlflcatlon successful In defeating a can
didate for policeman Infinitely superior to
either of themselves.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
ON THE RAILROAD
William F. Yagle, of Little England,
May Have Been Murdered.
HIS DEAD BODY FOUND BY A TRAMP
Appearances Do Not Carry Out the
Theory That He Was Kil cd by a
TraiuCoroucr Longstrcrt Has
llcguu an Investigation nnd Will
Hold an Inquest Saturday Night.
William P. Yagle of Little England.
Dunniore, was found dead on the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western tracks
near No. 6 at 9 o'clock last night by a
tramp giving his name as George An
derson, and who says his home Is In
Meadville. Pa. There Is a mystery
about Yagle's death, which may never
be solved, but the Jury empaneled by
Coroner Longstreet will meet Saturday
evening In the court house to inquire
Into the case, and meanwhile the tramp
is locked up In the central police sta
tion held as a witness to tell what he
knows about It.
Yfigle was employed In the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western machine shops
In this city. It wns his custom to ride
up home every evening on one of the
south-bound trains and get off at Ash
street in Petersburg. He received his
month's puy yesterday and when his
body was found the only money In his
pockets was $1.30.
WOUNDS ON HIS BODY.
Being found dead, lying In the middle
of a railroad track, the natural conclu
sion Is that he was killed by a train;
but there is a large Incised wound onthe
head, about eight inches long which
appears to have been made with a
sharp-pointed Instrument; the skull is
fractured, there Is a bruise on the right
shoulder and a wound above the right
eye. Not any of the injuries seem to
have been inflicted by an engine or that
he could have sustained them by being
run over by cars. His clothes, too, do
not show that he was run over, hurled,
or dragged.
Anderson, the tramp, was the first to
make known the fact to the Dunmore
police. He is not suspected of any foul
dealing, but on account of his being a
wandering person, it was thought best
to lock him up and in that way be sure
of having him at the Inquest Saturday
night.
Coroner Longstreet was notified and
he authorized Undertaker Letchworth
to remove the body.
WHAT ANDERSON SAYS.
Anderson says he was walking along
nnd near the point where the body was
found he saw a man sitting on the
edge of the ties. He went quite a dls
tance beyond this point and decided
he could board a train easier down In
the yard when he was put off, so he re
traced his steps, and on coming to
where he saw the man sitting before he
now found a dead man lying between
the rails. Then he went for an officer.
He was taken to the central police sta
tlon by Officers Bolger and Dolphin, of
Dunmore, by order of Coroner Long
street. The following Jury was empanelled:
T. P. Letchworth, M. E. Dolphin, W. W.
Fay, M. J. Golden, M. J. Boyle, and M.
F. Langan. No testimony was taken,
except the story of the tramp. The de.
ceased lived with his parents and wns
very frugal. He was not addicted to
drink, they Halm, and gave them a
large part of his pay every month.
The facts that It was pay day, that
the Injuries do not appear to have been
caused on the railroad, and that very
little money wns found In his clothes
lend color to the suspicion of robbery
and murder.
