Kinsley Hcailif Still -Draft Its Slow
Length Alf.
SOME WITNESSES WERE ABSENT
lint There Were Soma Preset aad
They Told Scraps of Conversation
Which They Allege They Heard.
Fight Over the Admittance of Tes
liaioay aad the L'sual Wrangle liver
the Scope of the Investigation.
Non-atten llng witnesses again made
the conclusion of the Kinsley Investiga
tion an indefinite quantity. It was
hoped to llnish up the Sunday World
side of the case last night, but the fail
ure of two or three witnesses to answer
the subpoena precluded the possibility
of this.
As has happened every night so far,
there was a wrangle over the scope of
the inquiry. Last night it arose over
the introduction of the testimony of
Thomas Hennlgan. Mr. Newcomb
started out by asking the witness if he
had ever heard Emmet Peet sny any
thing about the ownership of the team
he drove. Mr. Hums objected on the
grounds that Peet himself had been on
the stand and was as tir as was known
a competent witness. Peets declara
tions should not come second-handed.
Mr. Newcomb stated It was his inten
tion to show by the witness thut Peet
had not told the whole truth. Mr. Wat
son raised a second objection that this
would be an Infringement of one of the
best established rules of evidence, that
is. a party cannot descredlt the testi
mony of his own witness. Mr. New
comb held that there were no parties
in this investigation; that It Is not a
triul. and that he was not there as a
prosecutor or the representative of
prosecutors, but simply as a represent
ative of the World people, whi, through
the gi-nciousness of the mayor, had
been permitted to have counsel present
in order to show that their charges had
foundation in fact. There Is no such
thing ns "one's own witness" In these
proceedings, Mr. Newcomb continued.
After a consultation with the mem
bers of the committee the mayor direct
ed Hennlgan to nnswer the question.
WHAT HENNIGAN HEARD.
Hennlgan had two conversations with
Peet during September. Peet's horse
ran away one night on West Lncka
wnna avenue, and ran down the old
Love roud. When t! e norse was caught
and brought back Peet said: "The old
man will give me Sam Hill for breaking
this bridle." Another night Peet re
fused to pull the whole length of the
street-washing hose up a hill because
he said Mr. Kinsley wouldn't want him
to use his (Mr. Kinsley's) horses that
way. Hy "the old man" was meant
Mr. Kinsley, who was thus dubbed by
the street commissioner's gang, the
witness said.
John T. Jones, of 323 Evans court
worked on the street gang during the
full and winter of 1X95 and the spring
of 1XH6. He knew Emmet Peet and
saw him driving Mr. Kinsley's family
carriage quite as often as he saw him
driving a working team on the streets.
He also knew Jake Hetcher and knew
that he drove a team on the street
gang. Witness could not say who
owned the team Betcher drove. He had
heard Hetcher say that he went to
Kinsley's barn to get the team every
dav. Witness was set to work "elearlng
up" around the Frothlngham theater
by Foreman George Perlgo. He heard
Perigo say one time last winter in the
hnllway of the municipal building base
ment 'that there were free tickets con
cerned. On cross-examination he said he saw
Peet driving Mr. Klnsley'a carrluge one
day In front of the Globe Btore and at
another time in front of Goldsmith's
Bazaar. Witness left the street depart
ment on the 8th of August, 1896.
"COAR DIDN'T DIVVY."
Thomas Coar, of 220 Emmet street,
was also on the stand. He worked for
the city In the capacity of teamster at
different times during the past two
years. He kept no account of the peri
ods he worked on the city streets. He
knew George Perigo, the foreman of
the street commissioner's department,
but denied that he ever paid Perigo
money for employed. He denied that
he ever told Dr. Reedy or Frank Mawn
that he got work from Perigo and
"divvied" up with Perigo. He admit
ted having worked on the grounds of
the Country club last October, but
could not give the number of days. He
had a talk with Georffe Perigo yester
day morning. To Mr. Newcomb's ques
tion, "Does your poor memory date
from this talk with Mr. Perigo?" he
answered "It certainly does." Mr.
Hums, however, In cross-examination,
elicited the fact that the witness did
not understand Mr. Newcomb's ques
tion. Mr. Newcomb said he had ransacked
the directories and assessment books,
but could find no such person ns Eu
gene Kinehart, whom Harry Kinsley
mentioned as one of his drivers. Street
Commissioner Kinsley, In reply to Mr.
Newcomb's Inquiry, answered that
Kinehart was still about the city and
had been seen this week. To the bent
of Mr. Kinsley's opinion, Kinehart is
working in some livery stable here
abouts. BETCHER WAS RECALLED.
Jacob Hetcher was recalled, and In
answer to Mr. Newcomb's question as
to whether or not he was positive he
never drove a team for the city prior
to Sept. 5. 1S95, said he might have
helped a driver or taken the place of
one who would be taken sick. He could
not tell positively whether or nut he
drove a team prior to Sept. 5, 1N95. He
might have driven one of Kinsley's
teams in October, IROr., for a day or
two, but not more than that. He could
not remember whether or not he drove
a team in November, December or any
succeeding month. His memory, he
said, was bad. He had not talked with
Perigo or Kinsley of anybody else
about the Investigation since It began.
Mr. Newcomb at this Juncture an
nounced that owing to the non-attendance
of James Ryan and one or two
other witnesses, he could proceed no
further. He asked for an attachment
for Ryan, saying that It had come to his
cars that Ryan had stated that he
"would be d If he would go there
and testify against Kinsley."
Adjournment was made until next
Saturday night.
SPROATS CASE UNSETTLED.
Fire Department Committee Again
Fails to Reach n Conclusion.
Permanent Fireman Sproats, late of
the Franklin company, who has been
suspended by Mayor Ralley, will con
tinue to draw pay Indefinitely from
the city If Inst night's secret meeting
of the Are department committee of
select council is nny criterion. The
committee Intended considering the
Sproats case along with other business,
but did nothing beyond discussing the
matter.
It was claimed by the committee that
the mayor was to have presented In
writing the specific charges which led
to the suspension and the mayor's rec
ommendation that he be dismissed.
The charges were not presented either
in writing or verbally, and It Is not
likely that the report of the commit
tee to councils tonight will contain any
reference to the matter.
The committee met In the private of
fice of the city clerk. Proposals were
presented as follows for building a
wagon patterned after those of the
Rrooklyn fire department for Chief
Hlckey: A. R. Gould & Sons, 1200, -year
guarantee, lamp and all equip
ments and furnishings; William Blume
& Son. $185, with full equipment; Con
rad Pell, (175. 2-year guarantee, with
full equipment and furnishings; J. F.
McCawley tt Bro.. $165, with equipment,
or 1190. with lamp, whip, blanket, gong,
etc.; William K. Gilhool. 1160. with
equipment. The equipment refers to
gong, lamp, etc., and the furnishings,
to the whip, blankets, etc. Other bids
were received, but were not considered
on account of the absence of the re
quired forfeit.
FOXY LADS, THESE.
Try to Uel Kailread Fare from the
Treatary of Jersey City.
Tuesday evening's New York World
contained an account of the arrest In
Jersey Cily of two runaway boys who
gave their names as Grace, and stated
that they had skipped from their home
in Scranton. and came to Jersey City
on a canal boat. The boys were aged
respectively 11 and 13 years and when
picked up had their school books with
them.
An Investigation prosecuted by the
Jersey City police and Chief Robling,
of this c'.ty, developed the fact thut
the youngsters are residents of Jersey
Citv, and had tuld the police a cock-and-bull
story about runlng away from
their home In Scranton in the hope
that they would be sent on here, where
thev have relatives whom they desired
to visit. An uncle of the foxy lads lives
on Ninth street, and It was through
him that their little scheme was ex
posed. HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.
He Drove the Animal from Binghamton
to This CityWanted to Part ,
with the Outfit for $18.
About 9 o'clock last night a smooth
faced, well dressed young man, 22 years
old or thereabouts, walked Into the of
fice of the Scranton Parcel Delivery
company, nt Lackawanna and Wyom
ing avenues, and desired information
from the manager, H. V. O'Malley,
about whether or not there was an
auction sale of horses in this city every
Thursday. He said he had a horse he
wanted to sell cheap.
Mr. O'Malley told him that the horse
auctioneer is out of town this week,
and when he learned that he wanted to
s?ll the. horse the worst way to Mr.
O'Malley. He was so persistent that
he got Mr. O'MalUy to go to Riley Ed
wards' stable to look at the animal.
The beast was in a lather of sweat
and had evidently been driven a long
distance. It looked to be a good horse,
a well shaped sorrel, and the carriage
wns a good one. So was the harness.
The carriage has a rubber top and nad
a red running gear.
He offered to sell the entire outfit for
$20 and reduced his price to $18. The
reason he was willing to part with such
valuable property tor a trifle he ex
plained by representing that he went
about from place to place selling car
riage oil and was In the habit of selling
his horse every fall. He had not had
a successful season and was very
anxious to get enough to bring him
back home to Boston.
Mr. O'Malley told him to be around
to the office In the morning, and he left
him to get a policeman. The first offi
cer he met was Patrolman Lona Day,
and they walked on a block and met
Lieutenant John Davis. When the
three went back to the stable, the
young man was seated outside on the
steps and he was placed under arrest.
He is now in the central police sta
tion. In the buggy was found a bag
marked Binghamton, and when the offi
cers charged him with the theft, he
broke down and acknowledged It, but
refused to give his name, saying that if
he was going to suffer his folks would
be none the wiser and' he would not
have them share his disgrace.
He admitted that he hired the outfit
at a livery near the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western station In Bing
hamton yesterday morning and drove
to this city, making only enough stops
to feed the horse so that It could make
the journey.
IT WOULD BREAK UP THE SHOW.
Answer Givea by the Chief of Police
of Rending.
The chief of police of Reading is evi
dently a bird, to use the vernacular
of the dav.
On Tuesday Chief Robling sent a tel
egram to him and Instructed him to
take charge of Stanford Engle, the boy
who was taken away by ex-Special Of
ficer R. O. Bryant, who Is traveling
around small towns In the interior giv
ing hypnotic exhibitions.
The boy's mother Is worried almost
to death about him. Bryant opens his
show in a town, puts the boy to sleep
for two or three days, during which he
sleeps In the window of some store.
The strain is wearing him away.
Chief Kobllng telegraphed to the chief
at Readins, where Bryant now is, to
take the boy In charge and he would
send an olllcer down to bring the lad
home. The Reading copper answered
back that it would Interfere with the
show to make the arrest.

Then Had to Be Aapataled.

Marshall at the Wyoming Home.
The One Who Shot Him Is a Boot
black at the WestministerThey
Were ning lluntinglt Occurred
on West Lackaw anna Aveonc.
Baxter Marshall, colored, the 19-year-old
son of Randall A. Marshall,
head waiter at the Wyoming house,
was shot in the legs at 8.10 yesterday
morning on West Lackawanna ave
nue at the Intersection of Seventh
street, by John Morgan, another col
ored boy, a year his junior. The shot
was from an old musket loaded with
large buckshot, and It pulverized the
knee bone of the right leg so thut am
putation had to be performed an Inch
above the Joint. Less of the charge en
tered the other log. but It lacerated the
flesh very seriously and the operation
In removing the grains from the tlesh
wns 'painful end tedious.
From all accounts the wounding was
accidental, but as quick as the gun
went off and Marshall dropped bleed
ing and fainting on the sidewalk, Mor
gan took to his heels up Seventh street
toward Robinson's brewery, and over
the Love road until he came to Carbon
street bridge, which he crossed onto the
Delaware and Hudson tracks. A
freight train happened to be passing
and he boarded it for Carbondaie.
Chief of Police McAndrew of that city,
arrested him in the railroad yard there
at noon and locked him up. A tele
phone message was sent to Chief Kob
llng and he went to Carbondaie on the
2.2H train, brought him down at 4.30.
and took him before Alderman Millar
for a hearing. He was charged with
the felonious wounding of Marshall.
STORY OF MORGAN.
Alderman Millar put him under oath
and told him to tell his story of the
shooting. He said that he and the
wounded young man were chums and
they started yesterday morning on a
hunting trip to Bloomsburg. They nad
with them army muskets and both were
loaded. They wqie walking across
West Lackawanna avenue, Intending
to go down Seventh street to tho rail
road yard. Marshall was walking a
few steps ahead of him and was eating
an apple.
Morgan asked him for a piece of It
and was refused. He made a spring
forward to snatch the apple from Mar
shall's hand, nnd ns he was doing so
the trigger of the gun caught In his cont
and exploded the charge. The barrel
was pointed at the other's legs. As
soon as he saw what he had done, he
was so overcome with fear that he ran
away as fast a he could.
The alderman asked him why he ran
away If he had not meant to do the
Bhootlng, and he repeated that it was
fear drove him away. As to his occu
pation he said he Is a bootblack and
works at the Westminster. He came
here from Toronto, Can., five years ago
after the death of his parents.
CAPTURED AT CARBONDALE.
Chief Robllnn was sworn and testi
fied to being notified of a shooting on
West Lackawanna avenue. He started
out at once to run the one that did tt
down. Officers were sent In various di
rections to hunt the man and they
tracked him as far as the Delawnre
and Hudson railroad. The chief sent
a message to Chief McAndrew to be on
the lookout for a colored man, and at
noon the Carbondaie chief sent down
word thnt the man was in custody
there. Chief Robling went up and got
him. The alderman committed Mor
gan to the county Jail In default of $$00
bail.
The wounded youth made a statement
at the hospital In which ne gave as his
opinion that the shooting was acciden
tal. After he fell some West Side citi
zens who were riding on the rear plat
form of a passing car, got off and tied
a handkerchief around his thighs to
stanch the How of blood. The Lacka
wanna ambulance was sent for and
soon arrived.
His pain during the day was In
tense. The operation was performed
at 5 o'clock In the afternoon hy Drs.
Connell, Blanchard and McGrath. The
report from them Is that he is resting
comfortably and the chances for his
recovery are very good.
SUPERBA AT THE FROTHINQHAIK.
Ilanlon Bros. Urcnlest Spectacle
Seen There Last Night.
Hanlon Brothers have In years gone
by brought some beautiful spectacles
to this city, but In their new "Su
perba" last night at the Frothlngham
they quite surpassed what they have
done in the past to entertain the pub
lic. It was a marvel of cleverness,
and even the blase Individual who had
seen that sort of thing over and over
again, stopped yawning after the first
act, declared he was surprised and
thereafter jrave his undivided atten
tion to the stage.
It's no use trying to describe "Su
perba." It must be seen. There is
a wilderness of scenery and the me
chanical effects are so perfect and
work so cleverly that one Is tempted
to think that the Inanimate things thnt
move about in such mysterious ways
are endowed with life. At tho close
of the second act "Superba" rides down
to the foot lluJits In her "fairy vessel
on a sea of roses," as the house bills
expresses It. This scene Is one of the
most beautiful every presented on a
stage in this city by any such attrac
tion. Besides the scenery and mechanical
effects there are several very fetching
ballets, living pictures of a bull fight
and specialties by Miss Francis Hart
ley, who is also seen In the role of
"Superba;" the Bchrode Brothers, won
derful acrobats; Blanche Seymour and
Lowry Lambert.
"Superba" will be repeated tonight.
MORE FRUIT OF THE ELECTION.
Restoration of Confidence C.ivcs
Scranton Another Industry.
On Dec. 10 an application will be made
to Governor Hastings for a charter for
the Scranton Foundry and Machine
company. Those who are asking for
the charter are Eugene Washer, Amos
Wnsher, E. W. Bishop, Daniel Elsinger
and Theodore V. Konecny.
This industry, and it is practically a
new one. Is due to the result of the re
cent election.
For some time Eugene Washer has
run a small foundry near the Carter
works at the northern city line. He
was desirous of enlarging It and en
gaging In the business more extensive
ly, but feared to do so until the result
of the election of Nov. .1 was made
known. Immediately thereafter a
company with the above named stock
holder wns organized, and on Dec. 10
the governor will be asked to charter it
The old sx factory on Green Ridge
street has been leased, nnd the busi
ness of the company will be carried on
there.
KNEW IT ALL RIGHT.
Hut Couldn't (Jet It Out of His Fore
head, Ho Maid.
There were three applicants for nat
uralization papers before Judge Arch
bald yesterday.
Thomas Clarke, of Archibald, a na
tive of Ireland, and John Davis, of this
city, a native of Wales, got through
all right, but one Andrew Symack, of
Blakely, whose natal place was Austria
flunked In the examination. He could
read and write but could not tell the
difference between the government of
Austria and the government of the
United States, which proved to be a fat
al lack of Intelligence.
"I know what It Is. your honor," he
said in fairly good English, "I've got
It in my brains, but I can't I can't, you
know what I mean can't get It out of
my forehead."
