MR. NEWCOMBE HAD
A GRAND FINALE
Sensational Charge ia Which Watson
end Zimmerman Afi Involved.
MR. ZIMMERMAN'S STATEMENT
Alienation That $550 Was Used to
Buy Off the Street Commissioner In
Ills Opposition to the Night Lnnch
Wagons and That the Wagous Were
(ood for a "Fiver" Once in a While
on a HolidayThe Manner in
Which the Permit Were Allowed
Explained by Attorney Zimmerniaa
Saturday night's session of the Kins
ley inquiry developed the most sensa
tional feature of the Investigation. It
was the closing charge of the World's
Bide of the case and it was the most
serious of them all. Inasmuch as It In
volved not only the street commission
er, but his foreman George Perlgo, the
law firm of Watson & Zimmerman and
indirectly the city councils. The ac
cusation in substance was that the pro
prietors of the night lunch wagons had
to pay princely tribute to prevent their
business from belngclosed up.
Mr. Newcomb upon reaching this
phase of the case expressed a sort of
regret that It was necessary for them
to stir up such a hornets nest and said
that If. when he first Inserted this
charge among the others, he knew as
much as lie did now, he would have
lies I in led to Introduce the matter at
all. The charge had been made, the
witnesses were present and he could not
do otherwise now than proceed to prove
the charge.
Aaron Goldberg was then called to
the stand. He testified that he is thu
owner of one night lunch wagon and
part owner In four others. When these
wagons first came here he secured an
annual permit for $15, paying 910 to
t.Ke city and $3 as a fee to the street
etimmlssloner's department. The per
mits expired last March and he went
to Mr. Kinsley to have them renewed.
Mr. Kinsley refused to renew them and
he went to Mayor Connell. Mayor
C'onnell said he favored the wagons
and would see Mr. Kinsley about the
permits. He called on the mnynr later
ami was directed to go to Mr. Kinsley
and thnt he would secure the permits
till right. Mr. Kinsley did not openly
refuse to follow the directions of the
mayor but instead told Goldberg to
come around inter; thnt he would look
Into the matter, when he could find
time. Witness made repeated efforts
to si e Mr. Kinsley after this but could
not Ret an audience with him. In
April, some time after Mr. HalU-y le
enme mayor, witness again went to see
nbbul the permits.
nn saw peiugo.
He wns directed to pe the street
commissioner but was unable to find
him. George Perlgo was in the office
and he told witness not to be bother
ing .Mr. Kinsley about the permits us
Kinsley was opposed to the wagons
and could not be Induced to grant the
permits, thouch Mayor Bailey should
Insist on it. Perlgo, however, sug
gested to him that he might be able
to get, the permit if he hnd any money.
Witness nnswered that he hnd a little
whereupon Peri'to wrote a letter and
.sealing It gave It to Goldberg with in
structions to ptesont It to It. A. Zim
merman and to allow no one else to see
it. After Attorney Zlmmermnn had
read the letter he told witness that It
would cost him about $500 to get the
permits. Witness thought this was
too much but after consulting with his
hnif-brothcrs it was agreed to pay the
$r,00 if they were guaranteed protec
tion ns long as they wanted to continue
the lunch wnaon business. When he
went back Mr. Zimmerman told him
it would cost him $550 as it was neces
sary, he had discovered, to see other
men than those ho had first bargained
on. Goldberg paid the $550 by check.
The check was put In evidence. It
was made out on April 14, 18D6, to Wat
son & Zimmerman and was for $550.
It was signed Goldberg Bros., con
tained Watson ft Zimmerman's en
dorsement, and, also, the cancellation
mark of the First National bank. Gold
berg sot the four permits from Mr.
Zimmerman and paid $10 to the city
treasurer on each of them.
On July 4 last Kinsley ordered him
to close his wagons, but a $5 bill slipped
Into Perigo's hand made obedience to
the order unnecessary. Mr. Perlgo took
a paper to Mr. Kinsley and had him
sign It, and after that the wagons were
never disturbed.
A man named Welssberger, who re
cently opened a lunch wagon here, told
the witness that It had cost him $73
to get a permit. Goldberg's half-brother,
Isadoru Furkelstein, heard the con
versation. Furkelsteln was sworn and corrob
orated this last statement of Goldberg.
He saw the July 4 permit Issued by
Perlgo. and saw his half-brother tear
ing it up in a rage. This concluded the
evidence bearing upon that part of
the allegations.
JONES WAS RECALLED.
John T. Jones was recalled to tes
tify further about the teams. He said
he worked on a private contract for
grading behind Hill & Connell's last
December, during the time he was in
the employ of the city. He also had
three city teamsters working there.
Belcher, Ramsey and Hiltz. .
Thomas Hennlsan, who was also a
witness Tuesday night, was recalled
and swore that last May, when he,
one day asked Edward Ramsey about
a particular red horse that was on one
of the street teams, Ramsey told him
it belonged to Kinsley.
James Rvan, one of .he witnesses,
who was absent Tuesday night, and
who, it was said, made the remark that
he would be blanked if he would tes
tified against Kinsley, was brought to
the hearing Saturday night by Con
stable Carman. He said he appeared
at the cltv hall Tuesday night at 7
o'clock, the hour which appeared on
the subpoena, and finding no one about
went away.
In answer to Mr. New-comb's search
ing questions, he admitted reluctantly
that he had worked a little around
Kinsley's house, and barn while cm
ployed by the city. He worked on
Kinsley's private contract at the Driv
ing Park seventeen days last month,
and a few days this month, but he
got his pav from Mr. Kinsley for this
work. He denied that he had ever re
ceived any pay from the city for work
done for Mr. Kinsley. He admitted
that he talked with Mr. Kinsley last
Wednesday, but all Mrs. Kinsley told
him was that it would be better for
him to be on hand at the investigation
Saturday nlzht bo as to save himself
trouble.
J. P. Brlel, in response to Mr. New-t-omb's
questions, stated that he had
had a talk with Emmet Peet one day,
and thnt Peel admitted to him In a
round-about-way that he received his
pay from Kinsley.
James Gilroy, of Bellevue, swore he
worked one day on the grading behind
Hill & Connell's store and drew his
pay for it from the city.
Oscar Freeman, from Green Ridge,
was sworn to tell about the grading
of Wyoming avenue, between Green
Kldge and Delaware streets, but all he
could say was that he thought Ram
sey wotked on this contract.
The defense -will present its side of
the case next Friday evening or pos
sibly Hntutday or the Monday follow
ing. '
MR. ZIMMERMAN INTERVIEWED
Mr. Zimmerman was neen nt his resi
dence last night by a Tribune reporter
and he mad? I hi following statement:
"This whole transaction about the
lunch wagon licenses commenced prior
to Mayor Baileys administration. Mr.
Goldberg came to my offW one day and
said he was unable to get hi license
this year; that Mayer Connell was will
ing, but the street commissioner was
not. and he wanted to retain me to tee
If I could not get Mr. Kinsley to grant
the license. I met 51 r. Kinsley the next
day ftolng down to the city and roae
with him In his-buggy. We talked
about tb lunch wagon license and he
said he was opposed to granting it and
understood the incoming administra
tion waa also opposed to It.
"This, I think, was a week before
Mayor Bailey's inauguration. I met
Mr. Burros and told him what Kinsley
said, The very day that Mayor Bailey
was inaugurated Messrs. Goldberg and
Burros came to our office and were
anxious that I should go at once and
see the mayor and street commission
er. I went to see the mayor and Mr.
Kinsley both, and the mayor told me
that a number of the restaurant keep
ers, who kept their places open all
night, had spoken to him and urged him
not to grant the lunch wagons a li
cense. Up to that time Mr. Burros
told me that he wanted a license for
only one wagon, and after two or three
interviews with the mayor and street
commissioner I told Mr. Burros I could
get him a license for his wag-on and
asked him where he wanted it sta
tioned. ' NOTHING SAID ABOUT PAT.
"So far there had been nothing raid
about what he was to pay me. I had
not asked, and he never told me. But.
then, he said It wasn't one, but four li
censes he wanted, and I told him I
thought it would be Impossible to get
them. He then made the following
proposition to me: He said if I could
get a license for four wagons for him,
one on Franklin avenue at the Valley
house, one on Penn avenue opposite
Samters, one on Lackawanna avenue
opposite the First National bank, and
one on the corner of Main and Lafayette
streets, Hyde Park, that lie would give
me $500; that's Goldberg's own state
ment, and I was to get him the licenses
and see that nobody else got it license.
"I Informed him I could not guaran
tee any monopoly of lunch wagons, and
didn't believe I could get four licenses
for him. To this he replied: 'I think
you can get those licenses. I am In
formed that your partner. Mr. Watson,
is a very good friend of the mayor, and
I believe you can get them if you try
hard.'
"I told him to call In a few days. I
then spoke to Mr. Watson again uhout
It, having spoken to him a number of
times before, and I told him to go and
see the mayor and I saw Mr. Kinsley.
After a number of visits running over
n week or ten days, during which time
5Ir. Goldberg or Burros, one or both of
thein were in our olllue every day and
were very anxious to know how we
were getting along I was hHh to tell
them that we finally succeeded in get
ting the street commissioner and mayor
to grant the four licenses, but the sta
tion of the Penn avenue wagon wn9
changed to the court where It stood
last year, and with the provision that.
If complaints should be made against
the wagons they should be moved to
some other places.
BROUGHT A BLANK CHECK.
"They brought the check up; It was a
blank check, and I sat down to fill it
out for $500. Mr. Goldberg told me to
till It out for $550, ns they wanted me to
pay the license ft-es, which, they
thought, were $12.50 apiece. I tilled out
the check and got it cashed the second
day afterward. I got the four permits
and when I paid for them they were
only $5 upleee. When I gave Mr. Gold
berg the permits 1 returned $:0 in cash
to him. I agreed with him at that time
that I would do what I could to prevent
any other lunch wagon licenses from
being granted. I told him I didn't think
there would be any more granted; that
the department was opposed to It, and
I felt that they considered these four
tnoush for the city.
"I also agreed to defend him In any
suits which might be brought against
him by parties who might arrest him.
There was also a rumor at that time
that an ordinance would be Introduced
In councils to abolish the lunch wagons,
and I promised him I would do what I
cduld to prevent any Interference with
Ills license If such were possible, either
by getting his license exempted from
the force of the ordinance If it would
be Impossible to prevent It from being
passed. Since that time I have defend
ed Messrs. Goldherg & Burros In a suit
and there is a suit pending against them
now for keeping their lunch wagon
notwithstanding their license, In which
I am their attorney.
ABOUT THE GUARANTEE.
"Mr. Goldberg Is correct In Htatlng
that he wanted me to guarantee that
there would be no other licenses grant
ed. He is also correct in his statement
that I refused to do it, been use. I told
him, I could not control the depart
ments. I never heard any dissatisfac
tion or complaint about this transact
tion until Mr. Kinsley granted a li
cense to a man named Weisberg. Then
Mr. Goldberg came Into my office one
day. was very angry, and said I ought
to have prevented it from being grant
ed. I repeated again I could not have
done so, and that I never agreed to do
so.
"I heard nothing more about It until
Frldny of last week when Goldberg
and Burros come Into my omee and they
were very angry. They said the street
comfnlssloner had granted a second li
cense to Weisberg, and they demunded
I should return some of the money they
had paid me. I told them I wouldn't
do anything of the kind; that It was
a business transaction of their own
voluntary offer, and didn't see why I
should return any of the money. They
then said:
" 'We'll make it hot for you. We'll
go and toll Newcomb that this was
blood money you forced us to pay.'
"I ordered them out of th? office and
they left very angry. This man Flnklc
steln I never saw to my knowledge,
and never spoke to him at all or saw
him In my office. Mr. Goldberg was al
ways In company with his partner. Bur
ros, or alone. So far as bringing a let
ter to me from George Perigo Is con
cerned, It Is absolutely false. They
never brought such a letter fiom him
to me, nor. did I ever speak to i-erlgo
about a license. Nor was any of the
money which Goldberg paid to me ever
received or used in any other manner
than as a fee for my services."

It Will Be Named by the Local Com
mittee of Arrangement That W ill
.Make Prcpatatioas for the Enter
tainment of the Distinguished Visi
torsUeneral Kelson A. Miles Will
Preside Over the Sessions of the
Convention.
Within a few days Captain P. De
Lacy will have a conference with May
or James G. Bailey at which arrange
ments for entertaining the brave men
who have received the medals of hon
or from the government will be consid
ered. These distinguished men have
an organization which until recently
was known as the "Medal of Hvtnor
Legion." This in a sense was a mis
nomer and the more appropriate title
"Military Order of the Medal of Honor
of the United States" was adopted.
At the last meeting of the organiza
tion In Boston early last summer the
Invitation of Captain De Lacy to hold
the next meeting in this city was ac
cepted. Surrendei day, April D, is the
one on which the meeting Is usually
held, although the local committee of
arrangements Is always given discre
tionary power In fixing the actual date.
The medal Is given by the govei ument
for distinguished bravery on the field
of battle and there are but three of
them in this purt of the state. They
are held by Captain De Lacy. N. A.
McKown, of Tunkhannock, and Ser
geant James Rutter, of Wilkes-Barre,
At the coming conference Captain
De Lacy will suggest that Mayor Bai
ley appoint a committee of represen
tative men to make arrangements for
suitably entertaining the mednl hold
ers when they meet in this city in
convention. There will be between 100
nnd 150 medal holders at the conven
tion nnd as the greater number f
them will be nccompnnled by their
wives or members of their family the
convention will bring here about 250
strangers representing all sections of
the country. General Nelson A. Miles,
major general of the I'nlted States
army. Is president of the order, and
v ill preside over the convention.
ARK MAKING INQUIRIES.
Captain De lacy Inst week received a
letter from James R. Dunham, of Wash
ington, I. C, secretary of the order,
in which he nsked for the date decided
upon for the meeting In this city, und
also other information relative to the
preliminary work of maklnir conven
tion nrinngements. He also sent n
sample of thu ribbon of the order adopt
ed bv the president of the United
States. Concerning this ilbhon the lust
issu of the National Tribune says:
"In accordance with the act of con
gress authorizing him to prescribe the
kind of ribbon to be worn with the
medal of honor n warded to soldiers f.-r
distinguished gallan'ry, and also the
style of knot, to be worn In lieu of the
medal, th..' president has selected and
prescribed the following patterns: "Tho
ribbon to be of silk, one Inch wld nnd
one Inch In length; the center stripe to
be of white, one-sixteenth of an Inch
wide. Hanked on either side by a stripe
of blue, seven thlrty-sei onds of an Inch
wide, bordered by two stripes of red,
each one-Quarter Inch wide. The knot
to be a bow of the snme combination
of colors ns the ilbhon above de
scribed," The constitution nnd by-laws of the
order set forth its purposes as follows:
"Ever mindful that the medal Is an
insignia of heroic meaning, its posses
sors are thereby reminded that it Is
their hubitual and most constant and
ceaseless dutv to be at all times gal
lant, modest, self-sacritlclng and pa
tiiotlc and of spotless Integrity both
In private and public life. Having In
the darkest hours of their country's
htstory nttested their fidelity, they now,
in a golden era of patriotism and pros
perity, bind themselves to love with
equal Blneerity and earnestness all por
tions of their country nnd to teach
by conduct and example obedience to
a sacred and venerated constitution and
the laws of the land and a common
devotion to the union, nnd to the one
Hag which alone represents Its great
ness, power and glory.
THE DUTY IMPOSED.
"The principles nnd objects of the
Legion as thus defined include the ob
ligation nnd duty to cherish all pa
triotic memories to cultivate In truth
and charity fraternal fellowship and
sympathies, nnd contribute our earn
est efforts at all times. In cordial co
operation with nil other organizations.
In securing and advancing the best
Interests of all comrades and worthy
soldiers nnd sailors."

phurous Fumes at Duryea.
Coroner Lonsstreet was notified Sat
urday evening by Foreman James J.
Melvln, of the William Connell Coal
company, at Duryea, that an unknown
man, presumably a tramp, was dead on
top of the culm dump at the breaker,
and that death evidently resulted from
suffocation from the sulphurous gases
arising from the fire burning in the
dump.
The man likely went to the place
to warm himself and he either fell
sleep and the gases sent him into the
Bleep that knows no waking, or he
was overcome and smothered without
being able to help himself. The posi
tion of the body Indicated that death
was without a struggle. The mun was
a Polander, out of work.
Coroner Lonistreet ordered the re
mains moved to Dill's undertakes es
tablishment at Duryea and held nn
Inquest yesterday. There was no evlr
dence to doubt thut death was acci
dental. MRS. W. A. H0LLISTER DEAD.
