CLAIMS THE KILLING
WAS JUSTIFIABLE
Story of the Defense Is Belar Told la
Kocbler Murder Case.
KERYCKI FELLED MM WITH A CHAIR
Defendant's Witnesses Deny Emphnt
Ic lly That Kcncki Wns Shot In
lied nnd Avow That lie Was in tho
Act of Striking tho l'rnstrnto Con
stable Tor tho Third Time When tho
Shot Wns Tired Several Testify
Thnt Kcrvcki Was n Had .linn.
When the Kochler murder trial was
resumed yesterday morning the sher
iff had the two defaulting common
wealth witnesses, John Mlehlewlez nnd
Michael Bobkowskl, on hand nnd when
their evidence and some rebutting tes
timony had been deduced the com
monwealth rested and the defense
opened. At ndjourhment Mr. Horn an
nounced that all the testimony for the
defense was In with the exception of
thnt of Koehler and a few others of
lesser Importance and expected to be
able to close today. Mr. Jones said he
would have some testimony In rebut
tnl so It Is likely that the case will go
to tho jury by tomorrow morning nt
least.
Mlehlewlez was the first witness
called to the stand. Ho appeared to be
rather unwilling to testify and but lit
tle was gleaned from him. He was a
boarder nt Opanowlcz's, but did not
know anything of the trouble until
after the shooting occurred. The fact
that he had to bo brought In on an at
tachment and showed a disposition to
make liaht of what he saw and heard
on the night in question led the district
attorney to examine him closely as to
bis having been npnroached by Koeh
ler's friends since the trouble occurred.
Ho denied the Intimation, however.
Bobkowskl was also a boarder at the
Oponowicz house. There was no trou
ble, he said, on the occasion of Koeh
ler's first visit. Koehler came In and
finding the Keryckls In a drunken stu
per, withdrew, announcing that he
would wait until the morning to arrest
them. Witness' brother treated Koeh
ler to a glass of beer and everybody
was on friendly terms when he left.
AT THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS.
On the second visit, witness said,
Koehler drew his revolver at the foot
of the stairs. Witness did not see the
shooting but ran up stairs Immediately
after hearing the shot lired and saw
John Keryckl with his under shirt
ablaze rolling out of bed. On cross
examination witness denied that he
said upon the entrance of the officers
"We'll kill some of you ,
you won't arrest anybody here."
Martin Woyshner, the court Inter
preter, wns next called to the stand.
lie was asked If he had heard the tes
timony of Michael Jntasczykl In which
he stated that Koehler said on his way
to make the arrest: "I won't go home
till I shoot one of those Mazurs." An
swering In 'the alllrmatlve he was
risked to define the term "Mazuv'
which he did by stating that a Muzur
is a native of Mazurne, a northern
province of Poland. The Keryckls
were Mazurs, while Koehler is a Ger
man Pole. The dialects differ In a
considerable degree. The written lan
gago is similar. In most respects, but
the pronunciation differs.
Dr. J. J. Bellhelmer, of Dickson City,
testified that he was called to attend
Keryckl nt 2 o'clock In the morning.
He corroborated the testimony of Dr.
Kennedy and Coroner Longstreet as
to the course of the bullet, saying It
took a backward slightly downward
and outward course from the point of
entrance.
REVOLVER IDENTIFIED.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
identified Koehler's revolver and the
four cartridges and one empty shell
which It contained, which were hand
ed him by 'Squire P. J. McCormlck, of
Blakely borough.
'Squire McCormlck also Identified the
revolver which, he said, was handed
to him by Koehler when he gave him
self up. Koehler said; "I shot one
of the prisoners." He was not permit
ted to testify further as to the conver
sation that passed between him and
Koehler, as the defendant might have
been making evidence for himself at
the time.
With this the commonwealth rested.
Mr. Horn wanted court to compel the
district attorney to call Officers Benja
min Harris and Thomas Turner on the
Ground that the common law reculres
the commonwealth to call every eye
witness of a homicide. Mr. Jones said
such a procedure was not to be thought
of. The witnesses in question were
participants with Koehler In the njr
gression and had been summoned by
the defense. If the commonwealth
called them It would bar the prosecu
tion from proving inconsistencies or
contradicting them, ns a party can not
discredit Its own witnesses. He cited
the Vlsnlskle case, in which Judge
Gunster ruled that the commonwealth
did not have to call active assrpssors
in the conflict which culminated in the
killing.
NEED NOT CALL THEM.
Judge Edwards sustained Mr. Jones,
saying that no Injustice could be done
the defendant, as the witnesses in
question were In court and were to be
called by the defense.
Mr. Horn then made the opening for
the defense, which was along the line
.printed In yesterday's Tribune from an
Interview with the counsel. He con
tended, In closing, that whether or not
Koehler was correct In his conviction
that he was In great peril, he had the
right to shoot as long as lie believed
such to be the case.
With the very first witness, 'Sciulre
McCormlck, the defense provoked a
ruling that must have been the source
of no small content. He was asked
concerning the condition of Josesh
Berglnskl, the man who swore out the
warrant for the arrest of tho Keryckls
and Louis Grubos..., Mr, Jones object
ed and court sustained the objection,
but In doing so, said, "It makes no
difference whether he was Injured or
not. Koehler was an officer of the law,
charged with the execution of a war
rant, and so far as this case Is con
cerned, had a right to go to this house
at the time that he did,"
Witness went to say that ho directed
Koehler to niako tho arrest and In
formed him thnt he would await his
return. It wns 12.30 o'clock a, m. when
the warrant was Issued. At 2.30 a. m.
Koehler returned and save himself up
saying that ho had shot one of the
prisoners and that it was In self de
fense. LETTING THE JURY KNOW.
Despite tho ruling of court Mr. Horn
tried several times to ge,t In testimony
concerning tho condition of Berglnskl's
head but did not succeed. The Jury,
however, was virtually Informed of it
by the manner In which Mr. Horn j
proposeu nis questions.
Special Office r Benjamin Harris, who
accompanied Kochler on both trips,
was next placed on the stand. When
they first entered tho house one of the
Inmates, a snmll-slzed man whom ho
did not know, opposed their entrance
baying they would be killed if they
came In. Later this same man said
"If you don't set out we'll kill you."
They neverth'elcrs. pushid ort up
stairs, nnd awakening the KcryckU,
read the warrant to them. Tho occu
pants of tho house 1egan to swarm
Into the room nnd one of them throw
a heavy mine shoo at Harris striking
him on tho head. He drew his club
nnd stnrted fcr his assailant but Koeh
ler restrained htm saying "Let us get
out of here and get more help." They
secured Chief of Police McGarrlty.
Special Officer Tunic and Joseph Sos
nosky nnd returned. So3nosky vtw
posted nt the front door. McGarrlty
was placed In charge of Glnboskl, who
was drinking down stairs, and witness
and Turner followed Koehter up stairs.
Witness shook John Kervckl by th
foot ard woke him up. John and Alex
his brother, jumped over tlio foot of
the bed and grappled with witness.
Koehler who was turning up the light
shouted to the Keryckls In Polish nnd
English "let thnt man go." At this
John Keryckl picked up a. chair and
raised It so high that it broke two
window panes back of Kim. Then he
brought it down with full force on
Koehler's head fyclllng him to the lloor.
He inl'ed It again and brought It down
on Koehler's arm. He wan in the act
of hitting him a third tlmf when Koeh
ler drew his revolver and fired. Koeh
ler. was on one line? attempting to rise
lohi3 feet when he fired.
THE OFFICERS RAN.
Chief McGarrity nnd Sosnoskl took
to their heels when they heard the
shot. Koehler upon hearing them de
ntin mid "let's get out of here," and
fighting their way through the crowd
reached the street and made olf toward
Dlckon. There were six or eight
boarders in the crowd that opposed the
officers. One of them tried to strike
witness w Ith a bar of iron but a blow
on the face sent his head against the
wall and caused him to drop his weap
on. The boarding-boss, Oponowicz,
also had something resembling a re
volver In his hand but did not get an
opportunity to use it, if he Intended
to.
On cross-examination he said that
Koehler upon reaching the street want
ed to go to tho county Jail and give
himself up but on the suggestion of
witness went back to 'Squire McCor
mlcks and gave himself up.
Spccljl Officer Thomas Turner was
next called and told exactly tho eamo
story as the preceding witness.
Chief of Police Harry McGarrlty add
ed little to the main story except that
he drank a glass of beer with his pris
oner and the other boarders whllo
Koehler, Harris and Turner were up
stairs. "You'll drink with' them too,"
.said the chief to Mr. Jones, "under
such circumstances. If that crowd
nsktd you to drink with them and you
didn't thty'd murder you." Witness
denied telling Koehler: "You never
would have shot that man Max if you
hadn't been drinking."
Joseph Sosnoskl told of his having
bejn summoned to assist Koehler, and
on cross-e:4amlnatlon he said that
Koehler and Harris icmalned up stairs
six cr seven, mlnules on the occasion
of the first visit. Everything was
quiet. No dlstut bance took place.
Morris Weiss, burgess of Dickson
City, was next called to the stand.
District Attorney Jones' objection to
the offer was overruled nnd Mr. Duffy
proceeded with the examination.
WEISS' TESTIMONY.
Weiss testified that John Keryckl,
the deceased, was a vicious and des
perate character; that he saw him
freqently In street brawls and was re
garded as a violent and dangerous
man. On cross examination he denied
that he had had a quarrel with Ke
ryckl because the latter did not trade
at Goodman & Weiss' store. He ad
mitted, however, that he and the de
ceased once had a falling out over an
assault which Keryckl committed on
his boy.
Adam Nelwczyl: was called to testi
fy to the deceased having committed
an unprovoked assault upon one time
In a Priceburg hotel, Couit would not
admit tho testimony.
Luclan Zyzllo, of Old Forge, was
called to show Keryckl's vicious char
acter. He testified that he had known
the deceased for thirty years and when
asked what his character was said:
"He was such a man that no good peo
ple would keep his society." He also
knew the father of the deceased, who,
he stated, was sent to Siberia, What
for did not develop.
John Slivlnskl, the justice of the
peace of Dickson City, testified that
Keryckl was before him on several
occasions for fighting. He also heard
of him being a fighter. On cross exam
ination he said ho had also heard that
when Keryckl was sober he was a good
man.
'Squire McCormlck, justice of the
peace of Blakely, who Issued the war
rant for Keryckl's arrest, testified that
when Koehler was starting out for Ke
ryckl, a bystander named Kormlsky
said to Koehler, "Look out where you
are going. Those Keryckls are desper
ate men. They will resist to the bitter
end."
Simon Hlnerfeld, the Penn avenue
mercant, knew Keryckl when he lived
on Lloyd street, In this city. He was a
qarrelsome roan, witness said, always
wanting to light when he came to wit
ness' store.
John Bubusls, a Priceburg soloon
keeper, told of Keryckl having some
quarrels at his place. Ex-Burgess
Charles Snyder, of Dickson City, was
called to tell of Keryckl having been
before him on criminal charges, but
as he did not have his docket along,
he was withdrawn. He will be recalled
this morning.
John Gezerskl, an ex-pollce officer,
told that he knew Keryckl for two or
three months and that he nad had a
couple of fights during that time. Mr.
Jones brought out on cross examina
tion that Koehler was a party to one
of the fights.

PROF. HOUCK TALKS
TO THE TEACHERS
One of the Most Interesting Speakers
Heard by the Institute.
FROEBLE AND HIS LIFE WORK
They Wore Considered by Prof. Twlt
mycr During tho Morning Session.
Dr. Hlgsby Gnvo Another Install
ment of Ills 1'rncticnl Talks on
Words--What Miss McCloskcy Ilnd
to Sny on tho Subject of Child
Training--1, veiling Lecture.
Henry A. Houck, deputy state su-
pertlntendent, who at past Institutes
won the hearts of Scranton teachers,
was present nt the session yesterday
afternoon and again delighted every
one within hearing. His speech on
confidential chat yesterday wns the
sunshiniest bit of goodness since the
institute began.
Professor D. A. Stone was tempo
rarily chairman of the mornlns ses
sion nnd the teachers went through a
singing lesson under Professor Der
man. Professor Bible was Introduced
to give his address on "Elements of
Expression." After defining his sub
ject, Professor Bible maintained that
the human voice was tho greatest me
dium of expression. He referred to
Delsarte's principles thnt the voice of
a living, moving, speaking human be
ing was far more expressive of thought
than cold marble statuary or the tones
of the piano.
In Illustrating Professor Bible gave
one of his nrtlstlc recitations. Ho also
showed what a nod of tho head can do
In expressing a thought nnd kept the
teachers In a ripple of laughter for a
time.
1'iofessor Twltmyer, the next speak
er, spoke on "Froeble and His Princi
ples of Education." In part he said
that the timo in which Froebel lived
wns a time of great activity. He tried
to weld Germany Into a nation after it
had been humiliated by Napoleon, and
had made the movement of unification
and uplifting an educational one. He
stood as the head of advanced educa
tion. Froebel received his personal
Inspiration from. Pestalozzl, and cut
diametrically ucros3 all old doctrines,
THE SECOND PRINCIPLE.
The second great principle given by
Froebel was harmony and'spontanlety,
and he claimed that obedience must
be spontaneous. Froebel was a stu
dent of children for thirty years before
he promulgated his educational doc
trine. The outcome of this child study
was that there was a divinity Instead
of depravity. Tho fifth he gave us
was that tralnlnjr of the senses. The
sixth was tho matter of co-operation.
He was the npostle of objective work
In our schools, and he gave us manual
training. Tenth and last he gave us
the Idea of ethical culture.
After a short recess Dr. Blgsby con
tinued his talk on "Words," which he
began Tuesday. He believed that
words are born of the soul. There are
two kinds of languages, monosylablc
and agglotlmate. The Sanskilt was
the first Inhabitant of the House or
Aryan, the next was the Latin, which
Dr. Blgsby called the Samson of lan
guages. Greek Is the most beautiful,
and came thlid. In English tho mean
ing of the Greek words have been
changed, destroying tho original beau
ty. The Teutonics wns the last and Is
divided into two blanches, the Saxon
and the German. The lesson was con
tinued until this morning.
In the afternoon the section work was
again taken up. Professor Glllan ad
dressed the grammar grades on the
lines laid out in the following synopsis:
A lesson on the Caspian sea to show
that geography may be used to train
the reasoning power as well as the
memory. He showed that a number of
contradictions can be reconciled, ns for
example, the water of the Caspian is
very salty, so salty that In the cateh
baslns, which are numerous on the east
shore, fishes cannot live; but it is so
fresh that It Is often used by naviga
tors for drinking purposes. Both are
true, and to learn how this can be pos
sible will inspire vigorous thinking.
OLD TOWN OF DERBEND.
At the old town of Derbend, on the
west shore of tne Caspian, probably
founded In the time of Alexander, are
old foundations fifty feet below the
present level of the sea; ancient geog
raphers state that ns late as tho fifth
century of the Christian era tne Volga
flowed not Into the Caspian as now, but
Into the Azoo. Let the children deeldo
how these two facts are related, and
what effect the change of the rlvtv's
course had on tho size of the sea, In
view of the fact that the northern
third of the Caspian Is now only about
forty-five feet deep. Let them decide
also where tho waters of the Volga

Miss Voorhees tnught tho class In
elocution, Inking for tho discussion
"Tho Village Blacksmith," by Hong
fellow. Miss Voorhees gave nn Inter
esting and Intelligent analyslzatlon of
the famous poem and she passpa'
through a severe lira of queries from
the teachers. Miss Voorhees' home Is
In Wllkes-Barrc. She Is a young wo
man of decided ability as an elocution
ist. Miss McCloskey's talk to tho primary
teachers on tho subject of "Child
Training" was In line with her previ
ous interesting nddresses. The attend
ance was augmented by tho presence
of a half hundred high school pupils.
Miss McCloskey, In speaking of play
and work, ns related to child life, said
that while to some children a certnln
work would Hcem play, yet to others
tho effort would be arduous. Tho
teacher should aim to make the work
Interesting; a boy seldom succeeds In
a lino of labor which is distasteful to
him.
CHILD READING.
In dwelling upon child reading Mlss
McCloskey repeated the following
questions for the benefit of the teach
ers who noted them. The questions
are: "Whnt books have you read since
Inst" (any period)' "Which did you
like bestV" "Why?" "Have you ever
rend a book which you like better?"
"What books that you have read did
not please you?" "Why?" Miss Mc
Closkey's talk held constant attention.
Thc auditorium session began at 3
o'clock. Professor W. S. Bonrlght, of
this city, entertained with a recitation
of Artemus, Ward's famous speech in
London which Is gold to have taken
effect across the water one week after
the speich wns made. Professor IJon
brlght's humorous" nature and ability
to drawl out a sentence enabled him
to give a. delightful recitation. After
ward the ladles' quartette, Misses Rose,
Miss Knhn nnd Miss Joseph, sang a
beautiful selection "Last Night." The
piece Is permeated with sweet harmony
and the young ladles sang It so well
that tho hearty npplauso at the close
compelled a second song. They gave a.
light, jingling pelce. Miss Sylvester ac
companying on the piano. Professor
Glllan then continued his talk on
"Heading."
Ills practical way docs not readily
lend Itself to a printed report but he
nevertheless Is giving very satisfactory
services nt the Institute. His main
Idea was that the eye should be
trained In rending. After Professor
Glllan, Superintendent Howell said that
Henry A. Houck, deputy state superin
tendent, would address tho lrstltute.
MR. HOUCK'S REMARKS.
He said that he always liked to have
a, blackbc-iid behind hlni when he
made n "three hour speech," but fortu
nately he thought, for the teachers, he
was not going to talk that length of
time. After telling the teachers In hl3
funny way that he knew an well as
tjiey how unpleasant It Is to have
anyone enter a ses3lon Just about clos
ing time he deliberately Informed them
that he was going to get them Into
good humor. He jnly had ten minutes
to talk and Superintendent Howell is
very strict on time So In a. mysterious
way Mr. Houck asked Superintendent
Howell or tho bell. When be got It ho
turned to the teachnrs and exclaimed:
"I won't allow him to call me down."
Everybody laughed.
So Mr. Houck had the time to him
self. He told two very amusing end ap
propriate stoiles and referred to him
self ns once having been a county su
perintendent. He alwajs made this
statement, he said. Just to encourage
tho poor struggling teachers. "Kesy
at It!" he cried. He took the teachers
In ten minutes through, a whole school
