"ANDREW POLLYA ON
TRIAL FOR MURDER
He Is Charged with Killing; George
Slicmo, Who Boarded with Him.
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,

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. Tne
