DETERMINED EFFORT
' TO SAVE BQSCHINO
He Was to Have , Been Hung on
August 5.
SIX JURORS SIGN THE PETITION
Which Is to Be Filed with the State
Doard of Pardons Today--Anotlicr
Petition Coutaius 2,000 Xuines and
Puts Forward Good Character nnd
Contradictory Evidence ns Reasons
for a Pardon or Commutation.
Attorneys L. P. Wedenian, Ward &
Horn, and Major Everett Warren will to
day file with Secretary Eeltler, of the
state board of pardons the petition and
letters signed by a large number of citr
sens of this county, asking for the par
don or commutation of sentence of Jo
seph Bosehim as the board may deem
proper.
The killing ocurred on Sunday, Nov.
11, 1891, nearly two years ago, and At
torneys Wedeman and Ward & Horn
defended Boschino on his trial. They
made, a hard fight for their client, but
were met by District Attorney John 11.
Jones, who put up equally as strong a
legal bnt'.le on the part of the common
wealth.
Uoschhio was found guilty of murder
of the f'-a'. degree by the jury and there
upon JU'-'rR. Wedeman and Ward &
Horn, nfif.r seeking a new trial In the
lower court, carried It to the Supreme
court, but the latter tribunal decided
that Jndf.-e Gunster, who presided nt
Iiosehino'a trail, made no mistakes in
the admission of evidence or In his
charge to the jury, and thereupon the
judgment of tho lower court was af
firmed.
The time for Boschlno's execution wns
fixed for Auuust 5. Ward & Horn and
Mr. Wedoman began preparations for
presenting the ease to the board of par
dons and appealed to the governor for
a respite until the case could be pre
sented. ABLE LEGAL TALENT.
Maior Everett Warren, who had been
associated with Mr. Horn before the
board of pardons in tho successful ap
plication for Stephen De Aynla, ana in
other cases, was emuloycd to assist tho
other counsel In Boschlno's behalf, and
since thnt time the combined legal tal
ent of Messrs. Wedeman nnd Horn,
Judge Ward, and Major Warren, has
been nut forth with every effort to save
the condemned man. and they have
linked together every detail for tho
strongest case possible.
One of the strongest points of tne ap
plication for clemency will bo a peti
tion In Boschlno's behalf which will go
before the pardon board signed by all
or nearly all of the twelve jurors who
found him guilty of murder of the first
degree.
Six of the jurors have signed it so inr
nnd their names will be forwarded to
Harrlsburg todny with the rest of tne
papers. The attorneys nope w nuvc m.
slgnatures of the other six to bring with
them to Harrlsburg on tne clay oi tne
hearing. It 19 difficult to see nil the
Jurors, as they are scattered throughout
the county. The names or me iweive
are as follows:
Walter Poran. farmer, Covington,
(leorge Y. Hoffman, clerk, Scranton.
Lewis Fallott, mlllhiind, Scranton.
Claude B. Smith, ticket agent, Carbon-
dale.
Thomas A'kinsnn, merchant, ,ioosic.
Lufayotte Mathews, barn boss, Mayfleld,
C. S. Seamans, councilman, Scranton.
Allen V. IlU!h, carpenter, Scranton.
Charles lieckett, machinist. Scranton.
Alexander H. Bryden, miner, Fell.
William F. Sekoll, survepor, Scranton.
Philip Smith, brukemnn, Scranton.
The other papers which will be filed
comprise: A history nf the case from
Its inception, a statement of the rea
sons on which the application for exe
cutive clemency l.t based, a certified
copy of the proceedings In the case,
including a copy of the evidence taken
on the trial, and lastly, a petition
signed by nt least 2.W0 citizens of this
city and county. There will also lie
letters from many prominent citizens
of the county.
HIS GOOD CHARACTER.
The principal reason for asking exe
cutive clemency Is the undoubted good
character of Boschino during his twelve
years residence In this Etato, together
with the contradictory and Inconsist
ent testimony produced on the part of
the commonwealth, which with the
evidence on the part of the defense,
ought to satisfy the board of pardons
of the doubt as to who killed Confortl.
The reasons as they are given were
two In number nnd as follows:
First The good character Boschino
had sustained prior to the homicide, taken
Into consideration with tho contradictory
evidence on part of the commonwealth,
and the evidence of an nlibl leaves the
guilt of Boschino In great reasonable
doubt, the benetit of which should be
given to him.
Second The testimony of John Myron,
Antonio Imbriano and ltocco Salvatore,
being the principal evidence upon which
Boschino was convicted, Is so Inconsistent
and contradictory In Itself as to render It
unworthy of belief, and It would be wrong
to deprive Boschino of his life upon such
unsubstantial evidence.
A copy of the above reasons was
served upon District Attorney John R.
Jones by Attorney Horn today and a
copy will be served1 upon Judge Gun
ster today. The hearing will be had
before the board of pardons at Harrin
burg on Wednesday, September 10 at
10 a. m. The main argument will be
made by Attorney Horn and Major
Warren' and Attorney Wedeman will
follow. District Attorney Jones will rep
resent the commonwealth.
GREEN KILLS FAR AWAY.
Just Now a Syracuse Young Man Is
Finding the Stubbles.
Special Officer James Durkin, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, yesterday arrested a young
fellow giving bis name as Thomas Rich
ards, of Syracuse, for stealing a ride on
a passenger train. The captive was
brought befdre Alderman Millar.
Upon being questioned at the hearing,
Richards told a story of hard rubs with
the world, and the alderman discharged
him upon condition that he leave the
city in two hours. He wasn't a tramp,
but left a good home and this is the re
sult He said his folks did not know
where he Is, but they think likely he Is
getting along well somewhere. He
started out to better himself, and find
ing that the hills far away are not as
green as they appear, he, does not w.ant
to return home until he goes back well
dressed.
ALMOST A MURDER.
A Hungarian in a Critical Condition
from a Blow of a Stone on Head.
Jessup Is taking , the place of the
"Ridge" as the scene of murders and
lawbreaklng. Levi Stutsman, a middle
aged Hungarian, unmarried, was felo
niously assaulted by John Cerney, an
other Hungarian and unmarried, last
Monday night and his-chance for re-
covej-y Is doubtful.
County Detective Leyshon' was in
formed of the case yesterday ttnd after
swearing out a warrant for Cerney be
fore Alderman Wright, of (his city, he
took Constable Timothy Jones, of the
West Side, with him nnd they went up
to Jessup looking for the assailant.
Stutzman claims that he was on his
way home Monday night and was hvli
up by Cerney and two others. They de
manded his cash, but he refused and
proceeded to fight his way clear of them,
He got a blow of a stone on the head
and was rendered unconscious. His
boarding boss went out looking for htm
late at night and found him on the road
unable to speak. He did not fully re
gain his senses until Thursday and then
he accused Cerney of striking him.
Di Heck, of Jessup, was called to at
tend him. .There Is a contused wound
four inches long on his head. No ar
rests had been reported up to a late
hour last night.
FINED THE CONSTABLE.
North End Alderman Exercises Au
thority Not Vested in Him.
Constable Bernard Davis, of the
North End, is angry, and he threatens
to make It warm for somebody before
he gets through. Edward Griffin, of
the North End, also, had a lawsuit
against someone or other In the Second
ward. He had a writ he wanted served
and he; took it to Constable Davis.
Dr. Davis refused to serve It, because
the man to whom It was directed did
not live In the First ward, that being
the bailiwick of the constable. Mr. Grif
fin brought an action against the con
stable before Alderman Roberts, of the
Second ward. The alderman gave
judgment against Davis In the sum of
$10 for refusing to secure the writ, and
also Issued a capias to commit him to
the care of the sheriff until he paid the
money.
Attorneys Hulslander & Vosburg, re
presenting the constable, yesterday
took out a writ of habeas corpus In
court nnd Judge Gunster fixed Monday
morning for a hearing, and let the con
stable go on his own recognizance. The
constable Is deliberating upon whether
or not to bring action against the al
derman for illegal Imprisonment. The
law upholds a constable In not going
out of his ward or district to serve
papars If he doesn't want to.

MR. BOLAND JUMPS
, INTO THE SADDLE
City Hall Ring Proposes to Capture
Tuesday's Convention.
ALEX. W. DICKSON IS THE MAN
Mentioned for Congress nt a Seance
In the Mnyor's Office at Which Mr.
Boland's Idea Is l'nfoldcd--Meet
ing Didn't Quite Fall in with the
IdeaCol. Fitzsimmons and Mcrri-
ficld Side-Tracked.
It was like this:
Nobody had come up openly and said
he wanted It, so Christy Boland said to
himself, "Why not own a congressman
or even a defeated candidate for con
gress? If Bryan should be elected
somebody up this way is golnfr to be
the distributor of a big lot of patronage.
The defeated congressman or the man
who Is the recognized manager of af
fairs will be the patronage distributor.'
Consequence:
There will be a meeting of representative
Democrats at the office of Mayor Hulloy,
In the Municipal building, Friday evenlns
at 8. o'clock at which you are Invited to be
present. Committee.
The following responded to the Invl.
tation: Mayor James G. Bailey, City
Controller E. J. Robinson, County
Treasurer C. H. Schadt, D. J. Reedy,
secretary of the Bryan and Sewall
club; John E. Gaffney, secretary of the
county committee; Select Councilman
John J. Flnnnghnn, A. F. Duffy, John
J. Durkin, Joseph E. Taylor, lion. M.
F. Sando, M. J. Donahoo. Editor Lynett
of the Times, M. A. McGlnley and sev
eral others received invitations. Mr.
Boland it Is needless to say was also
there.
SLATK PLAN WENT AMISS.
Mayor Bailey was chosen to preside,
The announcement wns made that the
meeting was called for the purpose of
taliklng over things pertaining1 to next
Tuesday's convention. These thlngB
were duly talked over. It was the In
tention of the Instigators to attempt a
slate but the make-up of the meeting
precluded this. Every candidate for
commissioner and auditor, from Car
bondale to Moosic had a friend at the
meeting and when the engineers of the
affair looked over the gathering: It was
decided that any attempt at elate mak
ing just then must result disastrously.
But there were other plans.
One of them was a suprlse to the un
Initiated. It was to have the commit
tee invite Alexander W.Dickson to stand
for congress. His boomers said he
would tnke to it; that they had author
ity to say he believed Bryan would be
elected and should have a free ullver
congress. He was a free silverite nnd
would not refuse an unanimous coll to
be the standard bearer of the Lacka
wanna free silverltes.
BUT THERE WERE OTHERS.
But what about Mr. Campbell and
Col. Fitzsimmons and Mr. Vldaver and
Mr. Mcrrlfleld? wns asked.
The answer was Mr. Campbell de
clines, Col. Fitzsimmons will agroe to
anything we do, Mr. Vldaver Is willing
to step aside for any other man end
Mr. Mcrrlfleld well he hasn't eald he
wanted It.
The "committee of representative
Democrats" promised to think it over
and meet agnln t 4 o'clock this After
noon. Colonel Fltsslmmons will be
semi In the meantime. He will be
asked to be chairman of the conven
tion and to withdraw In favor of Mr.
Dickson. He will be expected to make
a rousing speech nnd tell how triad he
Is that he is permitted to withdraw
from tho fight nnd how it tickles him
to death to be sidetracked.
IS A VICIOUS BIRD.
Captive Engle to Be Helens fd in
Council Park.
In one of the windows of Butterman
& Rice's cigar store at the corner of
Lackawanna and Washington avenues,
a large black American eagle hns been
on exhibition for two weeks. The bird
Is about ten pounds In weight, measures
six feet from tip to tip when the wings
are expanded, and Is very vicious, so
much so that a person who goes close
to her, will be apt to go blind for the
rest of his life, or be minus his nose or
ears. She feeds on raw meat and live
mice, gulping the latter down without
chewing them up.
Her talons are sharp and stronsr and
her beak is as sharp as the point of a
stiletto. When any person manifests a
desire to tease her by pointing his
finger or rattling the wire netting1 which
surrounds the window, she stamps on
her perch like a madman. Even Mr.
Butterman and Mr. Rice, who feed her.
do not get familiar. They pass the meat
into the cage on a pointed stick three or
four feet long. She enjoys a morning
meal of mice better than anythln.tr else
they can give her.and they try to gratify
her appetite every day.
Albert Slmonson, 'of Ledgedale, Tike
county, caught her In a trap a month
ago and two weeks ago presented her
to Messrs. Butterman and Rice. They
feel that the creature should be allowed
freedom and tomorrow afternoon nt 3
o'clock will set her at liberty from the
observatory In Connell Park. They
have fastened a light iron tag on one of
her claws on which Is lettered, "Albert
Butterman and A. L. Rice, Scranton,
Pa., Sept. 6, 1S96."
The reason she ivlll oe let go from
the observatory Is1 to foil those who
want to shoot her. They will not be al
lowed to fire within the park enclosure
and it will be hard to shoot her after
she soars away up over the territory
outside the park. ,
POLISH CASES CONTINUED.
Alderman Donovan's Court Was
Packed to the Doors.
There was a hearing last night In the
office of Alderman Donovan in the Re
publican building, on Washington ave
nue. In the arrests of the twenty-one
disturbers who attempted to stop the
organist from playing at the late mass
In the South Side Polish church last
Sunday. There was an error In the
date on which it was alleged that they
broke the law and they were dis
charged but they will be arrested again
this morning. It was a clerical error,
but enough to compel the alderman to
discharge thetm The warrant charged
them with disturbing the services on
Sunday, May 30, when it should have
read August 30.
Alderman Donovan gave the thirteen
defendants a hearing on the charge of
violating a city ordinance by using
boisterous, loud and profane language
on the public streets. The extreme pen
alty for this is a fine of 125 each. These
cases came under the head of summary
conviction.
Over two dozen witnesses were sworn
and testified that the defendants were
loud and profane and shouting If Father
Aust would not give the keys of the
school bouse to "lick him." Eight wit
nesses were sworn by the defense and
thty raid everything was as lovely as
a midsummer night's dream. They ad
mitted, however, that tho presence of
Patrolman Flaherty was necessary.
It. was late when the eighth witness
was through nnd adjournment was
taken until next Thursday night at 7.30.
Attorney M. A. McGlnley represented
the prosecution and Attorney Charles E.
Olver the defendants.
LIQUOR MEN'S PLAN.
County Liquor League Decides on an
Important Step Will Organ
ize Permanently.
At yesterday's meeting of tho dele
gates of the various branches of the Re
tail Liquor Dealers' league of Lacka
wanna county It was decided that at
the meeting two weeks hence a perma
nent county organization will be ef
fected, with headquarters located in
some one 6 fthe main office buildings In
this city. A salaried secretary and or
Eanlzer are to be engaged and other
steps taken to place the organization on
a tsaple and permanent basis.
The good work that has been effected
through the medium of the weekly con
ventions of the county branches Impels
this move. The boycott against the
breweries who refuse to stop selling to
unlicensed places is working admirably
and the mandate of last Friday affect
ing the bottlers Is being generally ob
served. At yesterday's meeting a num
ber of the bottlers sent in their ac
quiescence to the mandate and it Is ex
pected that before next Friday, when
their time for compliance expires, that
all will have sent in their signatures to
the agreement not to supply unlicensed
places.

were looking about the city hall yester
day with a view of securing quarters
there and it Is possible that the sessions
will be held In one of the council cham
