CqNTGNTION OF COMMONWEALTH It Is to the Effect That Pollyn Struck .Micmo on the Ilcnii with the (irate Slmkcr ofn .Slovo.-Dcfoiisc t ill lie That t'ollyn Wns Attacked with n Knife mid Tlmt Shcmo Wns Injured by railing Against n Stove. Andrew Pollyn, whose homo is in Dunmore, was put on trial before Judge Arciibald yesterday morning in the main court room on the charge of killing George Sehmo. In brief, the story-of the murder from the commonwealth's point of view Is about as follows: On the .nlght of Oct. 10, 1S0S, Andrew and Cicorpre Sehmo, who boarded with Pollya, were ordered Out of the house by Pollyn. George re fused to go without his trunk, a strug gle followed and the skull of George Sehmo was crushed in by a blow dealt with the grate shaker of a stove In the hands of Pollyn. Andrew Sehmo was struck on the head with the same weapon and was for i time rendered unconscious. In trying to save his head from the blows of Pollya. Andrew put up one of his hands and had two finders broken. After felling George Sehmo, Pollya dragged him out In the yard and al lowed the unconscious man to lay on the cold ground for several hours un til neighbors carried him back In the house during the absence of Pollyn, who went to the offlce of the Justice of the peace and secured a warrant for the arrest of the Shemo brothers. When Pollya and Olllcers Uulger and McHale, of Dunmore, got to the house, they found George Shemo lying on the floor In a pool of blood and Andrew Shemo sitting by the stove nursing a badly swollen head. When the officers sug gested getting a doctor for George Shemo, Pollya told them the man could not remain in his houze ancr that if they left him there he would put him out. The olllcers say thnt Pollya then admitted that he struck the blows that Injured Shcmo. TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. It was about 8 o'clock In the evening when the assault was committed, and about 5 o'clock the next morning George Shemo was taken to the Dun more police station, where Dr. Murphy attended him. Later In the day he was removed to the Lackawanna hos pital, where he died on the morning of Oct. 16 at 2 o'clock. After George She mo was taken to the police station An drew Shemo was given a hearing' on the charge of assault and battery, and In default of bail was committed to the county Jail, where he remained until the following grand Jury ignored the charge against him for the reason that Pollya did not appear to prosecute, Soon after Andrew Shemo dlsao peared, but was located b,y County De t .'tlve Leyshon at Hazleton about three weeks ago and brought back to this city. The following day Pollya, who had been at liberty on ball, was surrendered by his bondsman, and both have since been In the county Jail. After court opened yesterday morn ing the work of selecting a Jur:- began and at 11 o'clock the following had teen secured: James J. Collins, la bcrer, Scranton: Michael Cummlngs, farmer, Covington; P.. H. Eldred, car penter, Scranton; John Heller, black smith, Clifton; John Jackson, farmer, Jefferson; Godfrey Long, wagonmaker, Scranton; John Mulraney, driller. Car bondale; Alonr.o Price, painter, Scran ton; Richard Shovclln, miner, Scran ton; Joseph Shinenr, axemaker, Scran ton; Patrick May, mine carpenter, Scranton; William Matthews, clerk, Scranton. Pollya is defended by ex Judge W. II. Stanton and District At torney John It. Jones is conducting the case for the commonwealth. At ad journment time all the evidence for the state was in and the opening address to the Jury for the defense had been mr.de. COMMONWEALTH'S EVIDENCE. Dr. S. P. Longstreet, the county cor oner, was the Ilrst witness calleu for the commonwealth, He conducted a post-mortem examination of the body of George Shemo and found a wound on the top of the head where the skull had been fractured. The condition of the head showed that a trephining op cratlon had been performed before the man's death. In the opinion of the coroner the wound on the head might have been cased by the grate shaker of a stove which District Attorney Jones chowed to the wltnesar. Andrew Shemo, brother of the dead man, testified that he was at Andrew Pollya's house on the night of Octo ber 10. 1896. and while they were there Pollya told the witness and his broth er they would have to get out of the house, that they could not board there any longer. George said ho would go as soon as he got his trunk. This Pol lya would not permit him to do and he took hold of George Shemo and pushed him against a window and broke it. The two men had a scuffle and George was thrown down and struck his head against a stove. Witness then went to Ills brother's assistance and Pollya Etruck him on the head with the grate shaker and he fell to the lloor uncon scious. When he revived he went out side and saw his brother lylns in the yard. He became frightened and ran away and hid, but later went back to Pollya's house. When the fight began Pollya told his wife and a man named Mike Wargo to go and get Punta, one of their neighbors. There was no ono In the house but the three men during the conflict In which Shemo received the Injuries which resulted In his death. WHAT BULGER SAW. -Special Officer Michael Bulger, of Dunmore, testified to going to Pollya's house on the night of the fight between 11 and 12 o'clock and to finding George Shemo lying on the floor covered with blood. He went to the house at the in stance of Pollya to arrest the Shemo brothers. Joseph Sena testified to see ing George Shemo lying in the yard outside of the house, Shemo'g face was covered with blood. County Detective Leyshon testified that he went to Dunmore on the day after the trouble and placed Pollya un der arrest. The accused admitted that ho Btruck George Shemo and knocked him down. On October 13 witness went to the Lackawanna hospital with Inter, preter Martin Woeshner to take the In-. Jured man's ante-mortem statement which was reduced to writing. Ex Judge Stanton objected to Mr. Leyshon giving the purport of the statement as it would be secondary evidence and Mr. Woeshner was called, lie xald that he went to the Lackn wunna hospital with County Detoctlvo IAyalon and had (v talk with George Shemo a short tlm before the Injured man'a dtath. "Shcmo told them that ho was feeling very lind nnd th.it he .know he could not live. Ho told them that he was 26 or 27 years of age and was burn In Austria. He raid the wound on his head from which he w.ts suffering was Inflicted by 'Andrew Pollya who struck him with a shiny piece of Iron which Pollya held In his hand. Shemo thought It looked like a revolver. Dr. A. J. Connell examined the in jured man at the Lackawanna hospital on Oct. 11 within nn hour after ha was ndmltted. Ho found a wound mi Uin right side of the head about l', Inches In length and thrct-fourths of nn inch in width A ritro of the sknll had men dilven down lnt.i th'i brain and to re i"o.( this tin (ijifuillon had to be per formed to enlarge the opening In the skull ti pi the fragments ot bono might be removed. Death lesultod a few dayn later as the result cf the frnctur.?. Dr. Connell lb -usiil he wound was Inflict ed by some such weapon as the grate shaker produced by the commonwealth. NOT DUE TO A TALU Ex-Judge Stanton tried to elicit from Dr. Connell on cross-examination that the wound on the head might have been cuused by striking the head against a ftove. Dr. Council snld the- wound could not have been caused by such a lull unlewn there was a plate protrud ing at least three Inches from the stove with such n protrudence. Dr. lllanohard, who was house sur geon at the Lackawanna hospital last October, said that on Oct. 11 he went to Dunmore and brought Shemo to the hospital in the ambulance. Shemo died on Oct. 16 fiom the enacts of a frac ture on the p!3e of the skull which wa3 caused hj tome kind of a blunt In strument. The Instrument produced by the commonwealth might have caused the wound. Constable Timothy Jones went to the Pollya residence with County Detective leyshon on the day following the light and assisted in arresting the accusing, Pollya told him that he hit Shemo threo times but did not nay what he hit hint with. Tluy saw blood on the wall near the window where some plas ter had been knocked off. In the cen tre ot the iloor was a largt- pool of blood. It was seeral feet away from the stove. OFFICER M'GRAIL'S STORY. Special Officer James McGrall, of Dunmore, was with Officer Bulser on the night of October 10, 189G, at the house of Pollya. There was a good deal of blood on the floor. Pollya told th"m that he wanted Shemo and his brother to go out of the house; they would not obey him nnd he struck Shemo. They lifted the Injured man to his feet but found he could not stand nnd they asked him who Injured him. He point ed to Pollya and said "He did." Mr. McGrall said they wanted to leave George Shemo In Pollya's house until they could set a doctor and have his wcund attended to but Pollya refused to allow the injured man to remain In his house. He told the ofllcers that If they left Shemo there he would put him out of the house. They had to look for some kind of a conveyance and at 5 o'clock In the morning took the Injured man to th borough lockup where Dr. Murphy at tended him. Later In the day the man was removed to the hospital. With the testimony of Of'lccr Mc Grall the ccmmonwcalth rested and ex Judge Stanton asked to have the dying declaration of Shemo expunged from the record as not being proper or com petent evidence. The motion was over ruled by Judge Archbald. In his opening address to the jury ex-Judge Stanton said they would show that the Shemos were quarrelsome.dan gerous men. They were causing trouble nnd Pollya told them to go out that he did not want any such men In his house. They refused to go nnd when Pollya Insisted Shemo attacked him with a knife and cut Ills face drawl m; the blood the witnesses for the com monwealth testified they saw on the iloor. LIFE WAS IN DANGER. Pollya saw that his life was In danger and he grappled with his antagonist and forced hint against a window. Then they fell against a wainscoting and lat er on fell und Shomo's beud struck against the edge of n ttove and received the wound that resulted In his death. "What was done that night wns dene by Pollya in self defense and he Is therefore to be held blameless for It," were the concluding remarks of Mr. Stanton. Judge Archbald decided not to keep the Jurora together and from this it can be infotred that he does not think the case rises to the dignity of murder in the flrst degree. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Returned by tho Jury in the Case Agninst Frank Dambrnsio. The jury In the Dambroslo case came In yesterday at the opening of court with a verdict of manslaughter. The verdict was asreed upon before the Jurymen retired Wednesday night and there was but little discussion before the agreement was reached. District Attorney Jones expressed himself as satisfied with the verdict. In tho case of Carrie Getz, charged with getting $10 D. D. Evans on a forged check, the Jury brought In a verdict of not guilty. In the former tr'al of the case the jury d'sagrred, The Jury in the case of Walter O'Connor, charged with assault and battery by J. T. Whiting, an usher at the Hampton street Methodist Episcopal church, could not agree and were discharged. Four of the Jurors stoo out for ac quittal and eight for conviction. Whether or not a strong, active and healthy boy, possessed of all the pecu liarities which go Into the make-up of the rising American generation Is to be denied the inherent right of throw ing a stone at a cat that will assey to skip past him on the top of a board fence is the question that Judge Ed wards submitted to a Jury in court room No. 2 yesterday. He didn't sub mit it in Just that way, but the ques tion at all events resolved Itself into that. THEY BROKE WINDOWS. Peter Sheridan and Charles Hlggins, two Carbondale lads, were parsing Thomas Monnon's house on day re cently when a cat ran along the fence. They picked up stones and throw them at the cat. The stones mlEsed the cat and remarkable to say every one of them went through a window In Man 'on's house. Hp had them arrested for tm.llclous mischief and yesterday they were tried. The Jury said the boys had a right to throw at the cat, but di rected them to pay for the broken win daws and also the costs of prosecution. Influential friends succeeded In get ting John Cherney, of Jessup, free from th6 charire of aggravated assault and battery. Levi Stutzman, the prosecu tor, and it might be said only witness, has been Induced .to leavo tho county and the district attorney seeing It was useless to attempt to convict him agreed to a verdict of not guilty, but pay tho costs, John McGownn, of Carbondale, a .Continued on Vase 8.1 FIRST STEP TOWARDS A MUCH-NEEDED PAVE Plans for Paving Providence Road and North Alain Avenue Asked For.

The resolution was approved. OPENING OF PRICE STREET. City Solicitor Torrey submitted the finding of the viewers in the opening of Price street, which fixes tho damages nl $1,006, nnd communicated that while the amount is larger than In his impres sion It should he, he felt that It was no larger than a Jury would allow and unless otherwise directed, he said, he would allow the report to be confirmed Anally by court. The matter was re ferred to committee. Approval was given the common council resolution directing the street commissioner to repair the damage done on Ash street by the bursting of the Gas and Water company's water main and charge the same to the com pany. The first measure of the new fiscal year was introduced by Mr. Schroeder.

WANTS TO USE T RAILS. A communication was received from General Manager Frank Sllllman, Jr., of the Scranton Traction company, asking councils to pass a resolution giving the company the privilege to lay T rails on Mulberry street between Jefferson and Prescott avenues and to construct a switch with T rails on the same thoroughfare between Madison and Prescott avenues. As to the T rails, Mr. Sllllman snys It Is succeeding the flat rail In nearly all the lar... cltieB and cafi be so laid on a paved street that It will not offer any more obstruction to vehicular tralllc than docs a flat rail. The switch, ho states, is to be constructed thnt bet ter service may he given to the Nny Aug line during the summer months, when the traffic to the park is very heavy. Tho matter was referred to City En gineer Phillips for his opinion as to the relative merits of T nnd flat rails. The penalty which was erroneously p.ddd to the assessment of tho Pres byterian church in tht Eleventh wnnl was ordered stricken oft. The exonera tion list of Benjamin D. Hughes, col lector of delinquent taxes for the Fourth ward, was approved. It amounted to $181.33. AMUSEMENTS. Our people were out In force when the sale of seats opened at the box of flce yesterday morning for the appear ance of the famous Sousa and his peer less band at the Frothlngham tomor row evening for a single concert. The outlook Is good for the crowding of the handsome amusement resort from pit to dome to greet the world's greatest bandmaster. Sousa commands an In terest apart from his matchless organi zation. He is a unique figure In our na tional musical life. His martial music has brought him a fame, not confined to the United States, but which has, however, resounded to tho credit of our great advance In the realms of harmony and melody. In the selection of his assisting artists, Sousa has shown the same excellent judgment. In Elizabeth Northrop, soprano, and Martina Johnstone, vlollnste, Mr. Sou sa believes he has two young artists of unusual attainment. Elizabeth Northrop adds a ..nely Intelligent method of singing to a voice of rich quality and pure timbre, and a person al appearance that is charming. In addition, Arthur Pryor, the trombone, known nnd admired- by Sousa audi ences from ocean to ocean, and Franz Hell, flucgel horn soloist, will add In terest to the programme. To give all classes of amusement goers an opportunity of witnessing one of the leading comedy attractions of America at popular prices, the man agement of the Frothlngham has pur chased outright Hoyt's New York com pany for two performances of his greatest success, "A Texas Steer," which will be given next Monday, hav ing arranged a grand Easter matinee at 10, 20, 30 and 50 cents, while the evening price will be within tho reach of all. The sale of seats for both per formances opens this morning at 9 o'clock. Few authors can point to a list of successes so long and unbroken as that of Mr. Hoyt, and It is safe to say that none of his works have re ceived such pronounced endorsement as has this most laughable satire. It Is In one sense a departure from his farces, as the musical and specialty eleme t, which are prominent features In most of his plays, are entirely elimi nated from "A Texas Steer," which has proved to be a bright and clever com edy, bordering very closely at times on broader farce. The company comes di rect from Washington, D. C, where It has appeared before President McKln ley and the United States officials. The starting for the fox hunt scene at Carlton Hall, In "A Nation Exiled," at the Academy of Music next Mon day night, is In every particular as real as stage art and effect can make It. All the preliminaries lending up to this event with the minions of royalty, are gone through with in a very precise way until tho audience actually hear the clatter of hoofs and the baying of the hounds. This romantic Irish drama Is constructed along new lines, and there Is not a dull section In It.
