MAX KOEHLER
COMMITS MURDER
John Keryckl Dies From a Pistol Shot
Wound Inflicted by Koehler.
BULLET ALMOST THROUGH HIS BODY
Koehler Und n Warrant for the Mur
dered Man and Went to Mis Board
ing House at 2 o'clock ia the Mora
ing to Arrest HimConflicting
Stories of the Cause That Led to
the Shooting.
Constable Max Koehler, of Prlceburg.
at 2.40 yesterday morning, killed
John, better known os Frank. Keryckl,
a youne ninn for whom he hud a war
rant, charging assault and Iwttery.
The shot Is said to have bwn tired
while the murdered man whs sitting up
in bed remonstrating with Koehler not
to arrest him then but to wait until
morning, and the bullet which was
from a 32-calibre revolver, entered the
abdomen at the pit of the stomach,
pass.'d through the small lobe of the
liver, and through one of the kidneys,
nud would hnve gone through the body
but for It struck ngainst the top of
the pelvic bone and lodged under the
Fklu in the back.
Koehler placed the muzzle of the re
volver im the man's abdomen when he
fired. It sot lire to his shirt nnd burn
ed the skin several Inches around.
The hole mnde by the bullet was
largo enough to admit one's forefinger.
KiTvckt was Bhot at 2.40, but he
lived until 3.00.
Koehler nt first attempted to escape
lmt seeing It was no use. as there were
three other ollkera with him. he sub
mitted nnd went before Justice of the
I'ia?e MeCormack, of I'.lnkely, who
gave him a hearing on the charge of
inunler and committed him to the
county Jail.
At 11 o'clock Sunday night Koehler
had 'Squire McCormlck Issue warrants
for the arrest of the murdered man.
his brother, Alex Keryckl, nnd a man
named Louis Grabotskl, charging the
three of them with assault nnd battery
upon a man named Joseph Burgunskl.
WENT TO MAKE ARRESTS.
After swearing out the warrants
Koehler took Constable Ken Harris, of
Phikoly. with him to arrest them.
The accused boarded with Michael
Opunowlch In an alley behind Good
man & Weiss's store in- Prieoburg.
Then? were two other boarders ill the
some house.
It was 2 o'clock yesterday morning
when Koehler and Harris got to the
house nnd they experienced consider
able dllllculty In rousing the boarding
boss that they might get in.
The boarding boss persuaded Koehler
to wnlt until morning before serving
the warrants, saying that the three
men were In bed and that they would
not go away and could be had at any
time.
This seemed to satisfy Koehler and
ho went away. The boarding boss
went bni k to bed, but he was only fall
ing asleep when he heard rapping at
the door and an authoritative voice
demanding admittance in the name of
the law.
He recognized It as Koehler, and be
fore opening the door he Importuned
him to go away and let them finish
their nlsht's sleep in peace.
Koehler said he had come to take
the three prisoners and was going to
get them, and If the door wasn't open
ed in short order he would open the
window nnd climb In that way.
Opunowlch lit the lamp nnd opened
the door. With Koehler were Consta
ble Harris, who was with him before
when he called, Henry McUarrlty. chief
of police of Dickson City borough, and
Thomas Turner, a special officer.
GRAHOTSKI GOT UP.
Crnbntskl, one of the men for whom
the warrants were sworn out got up,
having been awakened by the loud
talking, and he got down stairs nbout
the time tho four officers entered.
Koehler recognized him and handad
him over to Chief McUarrlty as one of
their prisoners. The chief remained
down stairs in the kitchen while Koeh
ler, Harris and Turner started up
stairs to get the other men.
Koehler was evidently familiar with
the house. He told the rhet two olli
cers to wait at the head of the stairs
and he walked a few feet from them
and entered a room. There were two
beds In the room, one near the door
nnd one opposite the door, over against
the wall.
In the latter bed the two Keryekls
were sleeping, the murdered man on
the outside and his brother was against
the wall.
Koehler shook John by the shoulder
until he awakened him and when John
began to argue with him nnd plead to
be let go untll'mornlng, Koehler it Is
charged then pulled the revolver out of
his pocket and fired.
The wounded man Jumped out of bed
and ran downstairs, but when he got to
the kitchen his strength gave way and
he fell prostrate on the floor. Dr. W.
P. Kennedy was sent for and he did
what could be done for Keryckl, but
the bullet had inllicted a fatal wound,
and he passed away at the hour stated.
BROTHER NOT AWAKENED.
Alex Keryckl, his brother, claims he
did not hear any of the talk that pnssed
between his brother and the constable,
and was not awakened until the shot
was fired. In the otner bed was an
other boarder, who also claims that the
first he knew of a stranger being In tho
bedroom was when the shot was fired.
As soon as Koehler did the shooting
he ran out of the house, but was over
taken by his companion officers, who
chased after him. Ho v walked along
quietly to 'Squire McCormlck's office,
nnd turned the revolver over to him.
He was given a hearing and was com
mitted to Jail. Ho was brought down
about 6 o'clock yesterday morning.
Soon after committing Koehler to Jail
'Squire McCormlck went to the home
of District Attorney John R. Jones, in
Hlakely, and informed him of the case.
When Mr. Jones arrived (it his office In
the Coal Exchange he dispatched Coun
ty Detective Thomas Leyshon to Price
burg to find out the details, and the
story as here related Is In substance
the version of the shooting as disclosed
to Mr. Leyshon after a careful exami
nation of all the witnesses.
On the other hand, the story told by
Koehler and his .version of the case ,s
totally different. He alleges that Ker
yckl was a tough character and hard
to handle. His brother was as bad and
the other fellow, Grabotskl, was no bet
ter. Knowing this he was careful to
bring three other officers with him, and
the reason he had for going to the house
at such an unseemly hour was because
it would be easier to take them then
than at any other time.
CHAIR IN HIS HANDS.
He claims that when he went Into
Kerycki.'s bedroom to arrest him, the
man was not In bed, but was standing
on the floor with a chnlr In his hands
raised above his head, and that he
dealt the constable a blow on the
head as hard as he could with it. and
was preparing to strike the second
blow, when. In self-defense, hp pulled
out his revolver and fired at Kerycki's
legs, only Intending to shoot him in a
part of the body that would not be
fatal. His aim was too high and bullet
went Into the man's abdomen.
Coroner Longstreet went to Prlceburg
at 11 o'clock and conducted an autopsy
on the murdered man. He was assist
ed by Dr. E. M. Pennypacker. The
coroner found that the bullet had tak
en the course described above. The bul
let had been extracted by Dr. Kennedy
before the man died. The Jurors em
paneled were Patrick Langan, E. J.
Burke,-M. C. Donnelly, R. W. Taylor,
Richard Barron and William Smith.
Their verdict was as follows: "We And
that the said John Keryskl cam to his
death from a pistol shot wound In the
abdomen inllicted by the hand of Max
Koehler." . t
Constable Koehler has had a stormy
career for tho past four or five years
as an officer of the law. Two years
ago last Christmas In a fight resulting
from his attempt to arrest three Po
landers he was stabbed and beaten to
the point that his life was despaired
of for several days.
FREQUENTLY IN COURT.
Scarcely a term of court went by
since he became constable that he has
notoflgured in one or more cases as
prosecutor or defendant. He Is now
under indictment on about five charges
of assault and battery, pointing pistol,
and malicious mischief. One of his re
cent feats was to chop down the door
of the house of Joseph Karolon. treas
urer of Dickson borough, because he
was In some way being interferred with
in executing a legal process.
At the last term of criminal court
he was tried on the charge of pointing
n pistol at Mrs. Charlotte Marsden, of
Throop, whose house he went to, to ar
rest an old man. In stating the case
to the Jury when It came up for trial
District Attorney Jones said that Koeh
ler had shown a reckless disposition
to pull out his revolver on the least
provocation and unless he were punish
ed and taught a lesson it would be a
matter of but a short time until he
would shed human blood. The verdict
In that case was one of not guilty but
Koehler was ordered to pay the costs.
At the April session of criminal court
this year Koehler was down on the
second week's list for threatenins to
kill E. J. Hurke, one of the men em
paneled in the case yesterday by Cor
oner Longstreet. Attorney George 9.
Horn Is Koehler's attorney and called
upon the prisoner at the county Jail
last night, but spoke only a moment
to him. He will go up this morning
and hold a consultation with him.
REEVE JONES' RECITAL.
An Aitistie Musical EvcntDcbnt of
Miss Elizabeth Thomas.
The well known pianist. Reeve Jones,
gave a recital at his studio at corner
of Adams avenue and Linden street,
yesterday afternoon, which was at
tended by a number of Scranton mu
sicians, who were permitted to enjoy
REEVE JONES.
a programme of rare excellence. In
the rendition of the numbers Mr.
Jones was assisted by Miss Elizabeth
Thomas, soprano, from the Royal ac
ademy, London, who has been in
America but a few weeks. The pro
gramme presented was as follows:
Sonata, op. 28 Beethoven
Andante con, variation!.
Scherzo Allegro.

Piano. Dunse Macabre Saint Saens
Second piano part by Miss Humme.
In the Interpretation of the Sonata,
by Beethoven; the delicate waltz
movement from Chopin; and the
Rhapsodle Hongrolse, by. List, Mr.
Jones gave a remarkable exhibition of
his versatility and evoked expressions
of a surprise and delight from the
critics who had not previously been
acquainted with the work of this virtu
oso. In each number the performer
seemed to catch the inspiration of the
composer and to a certain extent lose
his own identity in the faithful expla
nation of the theme before him.
Miss Thomns possesses a sweet sop
rano voice which Is under a good state
of cultivation, and is remarkably pure
and clear In the upper registers. Her
selections were given in an unaffected
manner that charmed the guests and
showed that she has added much to
natural gifts by careful study.
Miss Thomas is already known In
Scranton as solo soprano at the First
Presbyterian church, nnd tho favor
able Impression created yesterday at
her first appearance In song recital Is
gratifying evidence that her efforts
are appreciated and that her musical
career in the land of her adoption
promises to be bright and successful.
Miss Thomas was accompanied by
Miss Lillian Hammett. a brilliant pi
anist and former pupil of Mr. Jones,
who by her graceful assistance added
much to the enjoyment of the artistic
recital.
Mr. Jbnps expects to give recitals

President George Mitchell, of the
board of control, last night resigned
as controller from the First ward and
as presiding officer of the board. O. B.
Schrelfer, of the Sixteenth ward, was
unanimously chosen to succeed Mr.
Michel! as president. The latter's res
ignation was caused-by his prospec
tive change of residence to Dunmore.
After the general business of the
meeting had been transacted President
Mitchell called Mr. Welsh to the chair
and then stated that for reasons that
would be given later he tendered his
resignation as president The resigna
tion was unanimously accepted, and
upon Mr. .Mitchell's motion It was vot
ed to elect his successor. Mr. Barker
seconding the nomination. On Mr.
Casey's motion the nominations were
declared closed and In answer to the
roll-call Mr. Schrlefer received the
votes of all the members, himself ex
cepted. s Mr. Francois and Mr. Barker, on
appointment by the chair, conducted
Mr. Schrlefer to the presiding officer'
desk where he was presented with the
huge gol.l and silver colored gavel
wound with fancy braid that has been
the same medium of sport on past occa
sions. Mr. Mitchell said:
RETIRING PRESIDENT'S REMARKS
I am at a loss for words and spirit to
properly express myself. Considering tho
many years that I have served with you
on this board and the friendship I have
for you all, it Is not strange that I feel a
reluctance in parting with you. 1 um
about to leave the district, but shall not go
so far as to prevent my retaining a lively
Interest In you. your work and the schools.
It is nearly ten years that I have served
with this board, and during that time
there mav have been some sore spots
mado In healed argument and the contro
versies that naturally crop out among
men of different opinions. But I want to
emphasize the fact that in withdrawing.
I cherish no Ill-will toward any one of
you, and I want to add that If I have
seemed a little over-ardent or hasty In
word or act that It has been of the head
nnd not of the heart, and I ask the samo
good will toward me that I feel for you.
Until this time drew near 1 thought It
would be an easy matter to leave the
strife, trouble and Joy little Joy connect
ed with board work, but nt the moment
I feel a uecular regret, difficult to ex
plain. In severing association with a body
of men that has treated mo so well per
haps better than 1 deserved.
It is with a great deal of feeling that
I beg leave to tender my resignation not
only as president but as a member.
Mr. Jennings In moving the accept
ance of the second resignation said:
MR. JENNINGS' REMARKS.
It Is no easy task to preserve absolute
good-will, to incur the friendship of all
members, to satisfy their desires and to
adjudicate Impartially In any legislative
bo'ly. Tins is especially true or a uo'iy
whtch has so great and exalted a trust
nnd reionsibllltv as a school board. If
our retiring president Is ever privileged
to serve In any otner oince i care not
what It is-he will not have greater honor
than has been his In serving as president
of the board of control. No legislative
assemblage exceeds It In law-giving scope
or trust of honor. To be a member of It
requires many abilities and quallllcatlons,
but much more is required of Its president.
In that capacity there could not have been
more marked and distinguished service
than that which Mr. Mitchell has given.
Mr. Mitchell possessed the rare faculty
of quick perception and as quick decision,
which enabled him to encourage In a
parliamentary way the good and to dis
courage the wrong. Without fear of con
tradiction I ray his superior has not
served In the board of control chair. I
move the resignation be accepted.
In seconding Mr. Jennings' motion,
Mr. Wormser said:
About the only satisfaction to be de
rived from this proceeding is the recol
lection that "the best of friends must
part." In Mr. Mitchell's going be leaves
a record of having served his ward and
the city with great ability. His work Is
his best eulogy nnd In It he has ever been
anxious to .promote the best Interests of
education.
In conclusion Mr. Wormser stated
that no greater appreciation of Mr.
Mitchell's worth could be shown than
in a resolution granting free tuition to
his children In the city's public schools
which he had served so faithfully and
so well. The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Welsh spoke briefly nnd the mo
tion of the acceptance of the resolution
was presented by Mr. Schrelfer with
as he stated, great reluctance. The
vote upon it was hardly audible.
PRIVILEGE ACCEPTED.
In referring to the resolution, Mr.
Mitchell feelingly remarked that noth
ing could have been more compliment
ary and that he was glad to accept
the privilege It contained and place his
children's early schooling under the
board guidance.
A motion that Mr. Mitchell be re
quested to present his picture to the
board was made by Mr. Jennings und
adopted.
Mr. Gibbons suggested in view of the
election three months hence that Mr.
Mitchell name his successor. It devel
oped, however, that the vigilance com
mittees would name two candidates
and one would be selected at a general
ward caucus to serve the unexpired
term.
President Schrelfer's election caused
vacancies In several committees which
he filled as follows: Sir. Barker, chair
man of the supply committee, and Mr.
Welsh to succeed Mr. Barker: Mr. IX
vaney to the building committee, and
Mr. O'Malley to the text book commit
tee. The building committee recommend
ed the purchase of five lots owned by
D. 8. Robinson near the West Ridge
breaker In the Second ward for $3.Sin).
nn option having been obtained until
T'ec. 20. The price was objected to by
some and an effort made to have the
matter referred back to committee, but
by a vote of IS to 2 It was decided to
make the purchase. Mr. Gibbons and
Mr? Jennings voting In the negative.
Bids for building retaining walls and
an iron fence at No. 16 school, grading
the premises and laying sidewalks were
received from several contractors and
opened, but as it was deemed expedient
to have the grading done at once on
account of water In the cellar of the
building, the matter was referred to
the building committee with instruc
tions to report at the next meeting.
Proposals for furnishing and erect
ing heating and ventilating plants and
the sanituries In No. 28 school were
opened and referred to the building
committee as follows: Sniead-Wills,
Philadelphia, $2,100, electric control,

A COZY HOME.
Home can't be too cozy. Money
spent for home coziness is money
well invested. Nothing adds more
to a room than draperies. Doors
are necessary things, but they are
not pretty unless they are hung
with soft, graceful draperies. We
have some specially pretty effects
l'ust now in varied colors and de
signs. The prices are very low, in
deed, and we think the goods are ex
cellent values. Coine and see what
you think.
