WAS DEATH DUE TO
; - POISON OR FRIGHT
Peculiar Clrcanttances . Sw-roundiof
Demise of Almlra HadsalL
CORONER INVESTIGATING THE CASE
He Made a PosWMortem Last Night
and Found Nothing That Would
Suggest the Cause of Death Save
PoisoningThe Coroner's Jury
Will Meet Again at Itendhara on
Tuesday Evening.
' In a small frame dwelling, a story
and one-half high, situated on the
mountain at Austin Heights, In as lone
some a spot as exists In Lackawanna
county, Almlra . Hadsall, a 15-year-old
girl died at 1 o'clock yesterday morning.
It is not certain whether her death
was caused by fright or whether she
took a dose of poison.
Coroner Longstreet was notified at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon 'hat a
girl had died suddenly near Rendtiam,
but the message did not convey any
information as the cause of death.
The girl was a step-daughter of Jo
seph Ttuesch, who Is employed to over
see the timberland of the Pennsylvania
MISS ALMIRA HADSALL.
Coal company In Old Forge township.
Roesch's house Is on the side of the
mountain, near the Austin Height, and
Is at least a quarter of a mile from
any other habitation. The place Is
known as "World's End."
The story told to a Tribune reporter
by the step-father of the girl was that
he left home nt 1.30 Monday afternoon
to cut some evergreens for Christmas
and his wife decided to accompany him.
They went through the woods about a
mile and he started to chop down a tree.
Mrs. Roesch returned Ui'M, and she
found her daughter trembling like a
leuf and acting as one not in her right
mind. In a few minutes afterward her
husband came from the'woods and the
girl told them that Ave Italians had
come to the door and one of them
threatened to break it In with a stone
l( It was not opened immediately. For
fear they would come In and do her
bodily harm she ran through the back
room and openlns a window screamed
for help. A half hour after the parents
left home a rap came to the door and
when the girl went to answer It a young
Italian was standing on the door step
with a stone In his hand. She slammed
the door quickly and ran back to the
rear of the house.
He continued to rap and she cam? nut
again and this time she saw four other
Italians standing at the gate. Fearing
that their purpose v. as to assault her
she ran back through the bed room and
screamed as loud as she could for help.
Mrs. Alary uurgess. who lives some
distance away, across a stream which
runs between the houses, came to, her
rescue,' and when she got to tho house
the girl was lying on the floor writhing
in agony.
GIRL WAS VERY SICK.
At 4 o'clock the mother of the elrl
came home and then the girl was very
sick and was vomiting. Dr. Stegner,
of Kendham, was "Bent for, but he was
not at home and when the messenger
got back the girt was feeling better.
Along about 11 o'clock at night she
got worse and her step father went
after Dr. Stegner again. The doctor
learned the symptoms and gave tho
Btep-father some medicine to take
home. W hen Roesch arrived at the
house the girl was dead.
She laid on the bed where she had
died from 1 o'clock yesterday morning
until the time Coroner Longstreet ar
rived at 7.30 last evening. The step
father is a middle aged German and
his wife is an American. He Is her
second husband. The girl that Is dead
and another girl, one a few years older
tnan ner, were children by Mrs.
Roesch's first husband.
Last Saturday Roesch heard a very
loud explosion and going through the
woods to where the sound came from
he found a gang of Italians around a
tree that had been blown down by
dynamite. They had a wheelbarrow
with them and he took It home with
him and left it in the yard. At 1
o'clock Monday afternoon he started
away from home with his wife to cut
down a tree and get some evergreen
branches for Christmas. They left
the dead girl, a boy 4 years old and a
girl 6 years old at home with her.
When the mother got home she found
her daughter very ill and nervous
and Mrs. Burgess attending her. The
girl said that nve Italias came to
the door and asked If her father was at
home, but she did not answer them.
One of them had a large stone In his
hand and said if she didn't open the
door he would break It In with the
stone. She ran back Into the bedroom
to the window and screamed and her
cries brought Mrs. Burgess.
The place where Roesch lives Is about
as hard t approach as any habitable
place can he. It Is situated on the side
of the mountain, with no road leading
up to it, and Is In the middle of a patch
of woods.
MRS. ROESCH'S STATEMENT.
Mrs. Roesch said that when she came
back from the woods her daughter was
trembling like a leaf and complained
about being sick to her stomach. She
vomited several times and was very
restless.
At 7.30 Coroner Longstreet and Dep
uty Coroner Pennypacker arrived at
the house, accompanied by Dr. Stegner,
of Rcndham, and Drs. Baker and My
cr, of Duryea. A post-mortem exam
ination was held and the heart was
found to be free from any symptoms
indicating that she had died from
fright.
The bowels showed signs of gastric
poisoning and the liver had a toxic
appearance The lungs were In a
healthy condition and the blood was In
a healthy-looking state. Poisoning
was the only thing that suggested it
self as, the cause of death.
There was nothing; to show that she
had been poisoned. She was only 13
years old, there was no poison In the
house, and It Is a long distance to any
drug store where poison could be ob
tained. No reason could be assigned
either why she should take poison.
She maintained that she was all right
until the Italians came to the house.
Roesch says that he has at various
times surprised Italians stealing wood
from the tract, and he believes that be
cause he' drove them away they at
tacked his home and are responsible
for his step-daughter's death.
The jury empaneled by Coroner Long-
street consists of Dr. Pennypacker, Dr.
Stegner, of Rendham, Drs. W. W. Mv-
er and A. J., Baker, of Duryea; William
Rotter, or Austin Heights, and John T.
Brown. The stomach and the liver of
the dead girl were, removed and the
contents of the former will be submit
ted to a chemical analysis by Chemist
Benjamin, of Penn avenue, and the
. jury, will meet again to hear testimony
and the result of the analysts at Dr.
fttgner u office at Kendham. on TtK'S
day evening-, Dec 29, at 8 o'clock.
A girl 6 years old. a step sister, and
a lioy 4 years old. a step-brother, of the
deceased slrl. both well a'lle to talk
said that a crowd of men had come to
the door and had scared their sister so
that she was so much afraid that she
cried and was afraid they were going
to kill her. . '
Her youthful age. the fact that the
place was so remote from access to
drug stores and the further fact that
the post mortem Indicted that her death
was due to poison instead of fright,
makes the case exceedingly complicat
ed. PREPARING FOR THE BANQUET.

GOOD ROADS LEAGUE.
May be an Outcome o! the Recent
League of American Wheelmen's
Meeting la Philadelphia.
D. B. Atherton, president of the
Pcranton Bicycle club, returned yester
day from Philadelphia, where he at
tended a meetinar of the Pennsylvania
Division of the League of American
Wheelmen, which was held In the Hotel
Lafayette In the Quaker city. Mr.
Atherton and John Van Nort repre-
A. B. DUNNINUS. JR.,
Chocen State Delegate to the National
heelmun s Assembly at Albany, N. Y.
sented the Scranton Bicycle club
Charles M. Carr, the Green Ridge
Wheelmen, and C. A. Godfrey and A.
B. uunning. jr., were state delegates.
Mr. Dunning was chosen one of the
state delegates to the national assem
bly of wheelmen which meets In Al
bany, N. Y., In February.
"It was a splendid meeting." said
Mr. Atherton yesterd&A. "The good
rouds question was taken up with great
earnestness and I thing some effective
work will be the result. There are
about 11,000 league wheelmen In Penn
sylvania and altogether about 100,000
male bicycle riders. It Is the Intention
to interest this large army In the move
ment for the Improvement of roads and
Inaugurate a campaign that will bring
home to people generally the necessity
of having better roads throughout this
state.
"At present the roads of Pennsylvania
w 111 not bear comparison with those of
aujoinmg states but I think that the
people are awakening to a realization
of this fact and that Public sentiment
will soon demand legislation of such a
nature that within ten years the roads
of the Keystone state will be of a char
acter commensutate with the greatness
and progressiveness of this common
wealth. "Locally one of the outcomes of the
division meeting at Philadelphia will
be the organization of a Good Roads
league which will take the Initiative
In spreading the light in this vicinity
about the necessity of having better
roads.
"While In Philadelphia." continued
Mr. Atherton. "we were shown through
the various bicycle club houses of that
city but I saw nothing that can com
pare with our own club house since
the recent addition was completed. I
am of the opinion that we have one of
th finest and best appointed bicycle
club houses In the country. If there Is
anything that surpasses It I have not
heard of Its existence."

YOUNG SON MAKES
A GHASTLY FIND
H; Discovers His Mother's Body Barnei

ner Will Hold an Inquest.
A ghastly sight met the gase of Ed
ward Mullen, a 16-year-old lad, as he
entered his mother's home on Hemlock
street late yesterday afternoon. Seat
ed at a table In the summer kitchen
attached to the house was the dead
body of his mother, Sarah Mullen, a
widow about 60 years old, whose up
per body was burned to a crisp and
whose clothing was still smoldering.
The flesh was blackened and so badly
burned that It was with difficulty the
body could be handled later. The hair
was burned from the head and the fea
tures were not recognizable. There was
no other person In the house when tho
son arrived.
A daughter, Tessle, reached the house
a few moments following her brother
and she too saw the gruesome a'syiit.
Mrs. Mullen is the mother of five
children, two of whom do not live In
the city. She was in Clarke Bros.'
store on the West Side, during the af
ternoon and returned home about 4
o'clock bringing with her a quantity
of articles purchased.
PROBABLY AN ACCIDENT.
From the appearance of the rooms
the woman's death was probably due
to accidental burning. On the ground
floor are three rooms, the kitchen in
the rear connecting with a summer
kitchen. Mra. Mullen had evidently
started a tire In the stove In the main
kitchen. She used kerosene, a can of
which stood near the stove.
In lighting the Are the flames spread
to her waist. She rushed from the room
and into the rear kitchen, where she
was overcome by shock and flung her
self Into a chair alongside a common
wood table.
Death was probably painless, as her
son found her with her elbows resting
on the table and her head pressed be
tween her hands. Her lower clothing
was not burned, but from the waist up
the body was literally broiled. Smoke
was curlings upward from the sicken
ing mass when the son made his dis
covery.
Neighbors were summoned and Un
dertaker Cuslck requested to take
charge of the body. The men sent
from the establishment thought the
case was one which should be report
ed to the coroner and the body was
left in charge of officers attached to
the South Side police precinct.
CORONER WAS AT RENDHAM.
Coroner Longstreet and Deputy Pen
nypacker were engaged until a late
hour at Rendham on the sensational
case of death from fright, which Is re
ported elsew here.
l.pon the return of the coroner he
went to the Mullen residence and em
panelled the following jury: Thomas
Kane. W. G. Moser. A. M. Cusland, M.
J. Jordan. John Mustard, and P. F.
Quinn. They viewed the body and ad
ourned to meet Saturday night in the
coroner's oflice.
Death the coroner said was caused by
Inhaling flame.

THAT TEN FOOT RESERVATION.
L. I. Si C. Co. Proceeding Against
B. E. Leonnrd.
An Injunction was yesterday prayed
for by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company .to restrain B. E. Leonard
from using tho "ten-foot reservation"
for building purposes. '
Mr. Leonard Is the owner, the peti
tion goes on to recite, of a 40x150 lot on
the northerly corner of Wyoming ave
nue and Pine street, which was deeded
by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company April 25, ISM, to B. E. and T.
Leonard and of which on October
24. 18M0, H. E. Leonard became the solo
owner. The company claims that In
this as In every other deed It reserved
a ten-foot strip of land between the
fence line and building line. This strip
Is subject to Mr. Leonard's use, the
petition states, for a yard, vault, porch,
piazza, eellarway, or bay window, but
for no other purpose.
Despite this Mr. Leonard on Decern
ber 14 commenced to utilize this strip
for building purposes and despite
warnings to cease persists in that pur
pose. The company alleges that the
defendant has no authority for such
action and further that the erection of
a building ps contemplated by Mr,
Leonard would greatly lessen the value
of similar strips of land owned by the
plaintiff on the lame street and on the
same block.
Court granted a rule to show cause
why the injunction as prayed for
should not issue, returnable January 4
