COMPLETE EVIDENCE
AGAINST VAN HORN
Verdict of Guilty Last Night at the
Coroners' Inquest.
HIS RAZOR WAS IDENTIFIED
It Was Found in the Cellar Where
Mrt. Wcstcott's Throat Was Cut.
She Told Three Witnesses That
Vnn Horn Did the I)eedPolice
F.U'orts Hampered by Lack of Funds.
Py the verdict of the coroner's Jury,
arrived at Inst night after hearing the
testimony of several witnesses, George
Van Horn Is charged with the murder
of Mrs. Josephine Westcott, the Frank
lin avenue boarding house keeper,
whose throat was cut last Friday night,
and who tlird tho day after ut the
Lackawanna hospital.
Though the evidence before the coro
ner's jury wus entirely circumstantial,
yet it wns HUlIlcleiit. with tho state
ment made by Mrs. Westcott to those
who were present In the house after
tho deed was committeed, to hold Van
Horn responsible for the crime. Three
of tho witnesses swore that Mrs. West
cott said, when they asked her who
did it, that it wus Van Horn.
There was now evidence to corrobo
rate Sirs. Westcott. The bloodstained
razor which wns found on the dirt lloor
ot the cellur the night the deed was
committed was Identified by Mrs.
Coons, of Franklin avenue, as having
been stolen from her husband by Van
Horn. John Medell, who sold the razor
to Coons, Identified the razor found In
the cellur as the name one.
Chief of Police Kidding was present
at the inquest and liu had the razor
with him, but he had also two other
razors, which looked very much like
the one that cut Mrs.Westcott's throat.
He not the two at Luxemberger Hros'.
barber shop before coming to the court
house, and It would be Impossible to
pick the right razor out of the three
without having known It previously.
MR, WICKUXHOFFER'S TESTI
MONY. Oeorge Wlckenlioffer, of 250 Franklin
avenue, which is Just across the street
from the Westcott residence, was the
first witness sworn by Coroner Long
street. Last Frlduy evening, he said,
after supper lie took his pipe and to
bacco and a newspaper on tho front
porch, and was Just making up his
mind to retire to bed, when ho heard a
commotion across the way.
He ran over and saw Mrs. Westcott
standing In the doorway with her two
hands against her throat and the blood
streaming through her hands. Sho
urged them for God's sake to get a doc
tor without delay, that her throat was
cut and she had been murdered.
"Who did it?" asked Mr. Wlcken
hofl'er. "That fellow," she answered.
"What fellow?" asked he.
"George Van Horn," she replied very
distinctly.
The witness then busied himself get
ting a doctor and procuring attendance
for her to assist her in every manner
possible. He heard her tell others,
who asked afterward, that Van Horn
was the person who cut her throat.
William J. Trimble, a man who
boarded at the murdered woman's house
gave testimony. About twenty-five
minutes toS that night he went into
the kitchen for a drink of water. Sho
was in the kitchen lahout her house
work. He went up stairs to his room.
He henrd unusual noises down stairs,
and going to the head of the stairway
he heard someone breathing heavily
nd making gutteral exclamations. The
blood was issuing In stearins from a
wound on Mrs. Westcott's neck.
She wns uttering that she had been
murdered, and he questioned her as to
who did it. She- told him it was Van
Horn, and then ordered him to go for
a. doctor. He and Mr. WickenholTer
first sought a doctor, and afterward
went out hunting for the fiendish mur
derer. CALLING FOR HELP.
Mrs. Oscar Fetterholf was the first
to see Mrs. Wescott after hor throat
was cut. The witness ten minutes be
fore left Mrs. Westcott in the kitchen
and went to her room. She was not
upstairs very long when someone called
out her name loudly. She ran to the
door of her room and saw Mrs. West
cott coming upstairs, holding her hands
to her thront and acting as If in great
pain. Mrs. Fetterholf asked her what
had hnppened and was informed that
George Van Horn had slashed a razor
across her throat. The witness after
that was engaged In assisting the
wounded woman.
William Heedlcr and Oscar Fetterholf,
husband of the preceding witness, were
sworn and they testified to seeing Mrs.
Westcott with her throat cut, but they
did not bother about annoying her with
questions concerning who did it and
what the cause of It was. They heard
others then present say that Mrs. West
cott charged Van Horn with the crime.
Wesley Kresge, motorman on thj
South Side sree car line, lives next
door to the house where the crime was
done. His back door Is close to the
cellar door of the Westcott house. That
night some friends called upon him.
They were sitting in the parlor, and
about ten minutes to 8 o'clock he heard
the clothes lino, which Is fastend to
the corner of the kitchen and runs
back nearly to the rear of the garden,
twanging so as to be felt where they
were sitting.
He remarked, humorously, thnt some
one must be trying to hang himself on
the line and he went out to Investigate.
He was told that Mrs. Wescott a few
minutes before wont down into the cel
lar and that some man had been hiding
down there and rut her throat, and that
he jumped over Mr. Kresge's fence and
made his escape down the lot. The flee
ing murderer, Mr. Kresge believes, ran
Into the clothesline.
FOUND THE RAZOR.
Thomas Morrow, another person who
boarded with the dead woman, and the
ono who found the razor on the lloor of
the cellar, was sworn. He left the house
soon after 7 o'clock that night, he said,
and took a walk. Returning less than
an hour later he saw larga crowds gath
ered on the streets In the neighborhood
of the boarding house. Some one told
him that his boarding mistress had been
murdered. About 11.30, after everybody
but the folks of the house had gone
away, he and another boarder, William
Pettlt, decided to go down Into the cel
lar to" Investigate. They took a lamp
with them and after a short search
found the razor on the floor. The blade
was open and It was stained with blood.
Chief Robling took the three razors
from his pocket and laid them down on
the desk. Coroner Longstreet told Mr.
Morrow to select from the three the
razor that he found in the cellar. He
looked them over carefully and picked
out the right one.
John Medell, of Franklin avenue, was
sworn and testified that he sold a razor
to William Coons several months ago.
He was asked If It was any of the three
razors lying on the desk. He looked at
them and identified the one which had
been found in the cellar.
Mrs. William Coons was sworn. Her
husband could not be present. Coroner
Longstreet asked her if she could Iden
tify the razor Mr. Medell sold to her
husband. She. said she could and she
picked out the one that had been picked
by the other two witnesses before her.
Chief Robling took the razors up and
placed them in different positions each
time.
COMPLETE PROOF.
The razors looked so much alike, and
the three last witnesses were seated
apart in the arbitration room so tnr.t
there could be no possible way of one
gaining any knowledge of which was
the right razor, by watching the others
pick it out.
This was all the testimony taken and
the jury In a few minutes agreed upon
the following verdict:
"We, the undersigned Jurors, find
thnt Mrs. Josephine Westcott came to
her death from the effect of a wound In
her throat, made by a razor in the
hands of George Vnn Horn on the even
ing of August 28, 1S96: Dr. E. M. Pen
nypneker, Wallace G. Moser, D. J.
Moriaiity, A. J. Wlnebrnke, Dr. C. M.
Slttorly, John T. Rrown."
Mayor Halley and Chief Robling fixed
upon $511 as the amount of the reward
offered for the capture of Van Horn.
They proiose to pay this out of their
own pockets to tho one who earns it.
Chief Robling had a quantity of photo
graphs of the murderer taken yester
day from an old photograph and pro
poses to secure many more as fast as
they enn be turned out and send them
all over the country.
Nothing new was learned of Van
Horn's whereabouts up to a late hour
last night.
ADVENTISTS TO STAY.
Believers in the Seventh Day Doctrine
Will Organize a Church on
the West Side.
The Seventh day Adventlsts will or
ganize a church on the West Side, thus
giving their denomination the first foot
hold In this part of Pennsylvania. For
the past month evangelists, represent
ing the State Adventlsts' conference,
have conducted missionary meetings In
a tent on South Main avenue and-it is
owing to the success of this movement
that the conference will establish a
church here.
The tent meetings are held nightly
and during Sunday afternoons and
evenings. Evangelist K. C. Russell, the
principal expounder of the Adventlsts'
doctrine, has created a general uprising
In tho Adventlsts' favor among the resi
dents of lower Hyde Park. His talks
have attracted hundreds of listeners.
He seems to strike a convincing chord
and the converts, it is said, are quite
numerous.
Many persons who were formerly
staunch members of other churches find
themselves on the Adventlsts' side.
Among the West Side ministers the
speaker Russell Is creating an Impres
sion. Many of these have attended the
tent meetings and a great deal of re
spect Is shown to the evangelist.
PLAIN-SPEAKING MAN.
Mr. Russell Is especially argumentive.
He is a plain speaking man and is of
much dramatic force while in the pul
pit. With him, engaged In the work, are
Elder W. H. Smith and Student J. H.
Schilling. The three men live In a small
tent which has been pitched In the
shadow of the main canvass. Their sup
ply of the necessaries of living comes
from the people who live near the tent.
Such an Interest Is taken In the mission
aries and In the church thnt the move
ment has been self-supporting Blnce its
inauguration.
Owing to the cold weather the tent
meetings will soon be abandoned and
the evangelists will hold forth during
the winter In Heers' hall on North Main
avenue. It Is thought thnt during the
run of the Heers hall meetings the first
church will be organized. Elder Smith
will be In charge hereafter, Mr. Russell
going to other parts In the interest of
his creed.
"You can say as a positive tact," said
Student Schilling to a Tribune repnrter
yesterday, "a church will be established
here; when, we cannot say, but some
time during the winter."
LARGE JUDGMENTS FILED.

Attorney Charles H. Welles represents
the creditors. The judgments are
against the theatre and the leasehold
Interest In the Arcade property. Unless
a settlement of the claims be made out

READY TO APPLY
MR. rARR'S NEW ACT
c
Nearly 10,000 Children in This City Come
Under Its Provisions.
CAN THEY ALL BE ACCOMMODATED
There Were 10,000 Children Enrolled
Last Year and the New Enumera
tion Show. That Now There Are
Nearly as Many as That Between
the Ages o Eight and Thirteen
Yeur"t;ist of the Law and How It
Is Proposed to Put It Into Effect.
The new compulsory education law
will go into effect with the opening of
the public schools on the 14th Inst. Then
will be solved the problem of applying
the new uct.
This law, in a nutshell, provides that
all children between the ages of eight
and thirteen years must attend some
school wherein the lEngllsh branches
are taught, for at least sixteen weeks
In the year, unless excused for some
urgent reason by the board of control.
Penalties are prescribed for persons
holding parental relation to children
who do not obey the law.
The county assessors ure required to
make out a list of all children coming
under the provisions of the law and
place it in the hands of the secretnry
of the school district. He must for
ward these books to the principals of
the various buildings and they are re
quired to check off monthly all chil
dren who are absent more than five
days.
A certificate from the principal of
any educational Institution that a child
is In attendance there shall be a satis
factory excuse for the non-attendance
of a child at public school. The board
can then appoint attendance officers
whose duty It shall be to require truant
or absented children to attend school
or to cause the parents or guardians to
furnish reasons before the board why
such children are not attending school.
REGISTRATION BY DISTRICTS.
In this city the registration of chil
dren hus been completed by the asses
sors and is now in the possession of
Secretary E. D. Fellows, of the board
of control. It shows that there are In
this city 9,17'J children who come under
the provisions of the act, that is, chil
dren who are between eight and thir
teen years of age. They are located as

BIG GAIN IN NUMBERS.
According to last year's enrollment
there wus nn average attendance of a
little over 10,000 pupils In the public
schools, their ages ranging between six
and twenty-one years. The assessors'
enumeration shows that there are this
year nearly ns many children between
eight and thirteen years of age as there
were of all ages In attendance last
year. There is a very large percentage
of children below eight and above thir
teen years of age attending school and
It looks as If the enforcement of tho
law Is going to overtax the already
crowded schools.
The law, however, requires the school
board to make provisions for every
child that should attend school and
consequently there can be no great evil
resulting.
WEST SIDE SLANDER SLIT.
One Man Wants 83,000 for Being
Called n Thief.
John Bertoli.of the West Side, brought
an action of trespass for slander yester
day In court against Patrick J. Man
pen. He wants damages In the sum of
$5,000. Attorney Joseph Jeffrys repre
sents the plaintiff.
The suit is based on the following lan
guage which Eertoll claims wns ad
dressed to him on August 2S last by
Mangan In tho presence of several per
sons: "You robbed me of money, you
thief you." The tittering of this sen
tence, he says, hus damaged his char
acter to the amount for which the suit
is brought.

Hoped That the Twin Shaft Fund
Will Reach 910,000.
Although tho Twin shaft fund of the
Scranton board of trade has reached a
figure several thousand dollars larger
than was at first hoped by its most san
guine supporters, it continues to In
crease. It is an exception where a day
passes by without the addition of one
or more contributions.
The fund has grown to $15,826.12, or
within S173.8S of $16,000, the amount It is
now hoped to attain.

Testing the concrete.
Street Commissioner Kinsley's Poor
Opinion of Nome of It.
In the continuation of his tests of the
concrete that is being laid, of late, by
the Barber Asphalt company, Street
Commissioner Kinsley yesterday went
to Capouse avenue, where some repairs
were recently mode nnd found the con
crete there to be of a very inferior qual
ity, according to his opinion and that of
two experts, Frank Wolfe and Edward
Jenks, who accompanied him.
Mr. Kinsley claims that concrete
should be so hard that It will not yield
easily to a pick. The concrete exam
ined yesterday could be dug up with the
hands.
