IT AUDE A BIG HIT.
How Stunrjrllohson Cnmc to Produce
Dnn Hurt's Latest I'lnv.
Daniel L. Hart, the AVllkes-Darre
. play-wright whose dramatization of
Opie Iteld's novel, "The Juckllns," will
be produced by Stuart Itobson at the
Academy of Music next Tuesday even
ing, was In the city yesterday after
noon. While hete he told how he came
to write that play and what its first re
ception was.
"It was in Chicago," said Mr. Hart.
"I had read Heid's hook and was en
thusiastic over It. I went to the pub
lishers and tried to arrange for the
stage rights. They wanted $300 guar
anty, besides other conditions. I
hadn't 600 cents. I went to Mr. Rob
son's manager, explained the case, and
without having, read the book he put
up the guaranty and told me to go
ahead. A little later he read 'The Juck
llns.' Then they were In Kansas City.
When he had finished the novel ho
wanted to pay my fare back to Chi
cago and have me cancel the contract.
I demurred, and finally we took the
matter to Mr. Itobson.
"The latter, to keep peace In the fam
lly, agreed to produce the play one
time, to save his manager's $300. It
was put In rehearsal without special
scenery or cast, and In due time pro
duced. You know the rest. Mr. Itob
son has had to make It one of the reg
ular pieces in his repertory and in
nearly every city it lias drawn laige
audiences and elicited much applause."
If the play, which we haven't seen,
Is half so good as the book, which we
have read, It wllVbe well worth seeing.

ARE NOW DECIDING
KOEHLER'S FATE
Case Went to the Jury at 5.30 O'clock
Yesterday Afternoon.
THE DEFENDANT TELLS HIS STORY
Ho Did Not Intend to Kill Keryckl,
IIo Snys, but Only to Wound 111m In
the I,eR9--.Stronc Closing Picas by
Judge IVnrd for Pcfcnso mid Dis
trict Attorney Jones for I'rosccu
tloifJudgo lidwnrds Tnkcs nn
Hour nnd n Quarter to Chnrgo Jury.
At 5.30 o'clock ycitcnlay afternoon
tin Iain of Mnx Koeliler wns placed
In the lianas of the Jury. The defend
ant occupied the stand nearly the
whole of the morning and the afternoon
wns taken up by the closliiK nddrcsscH
of Judge Ward for the defense nnd
Dlsttlct Attorney Joncs.and the charge
of Judge Edwards. '
Koehler'a story wns materially the
same as that of the preceding wit
nesses for the defense, the only Import
ant viulano helm; his nvurmont that
he did not Intend to kill Keryckl, but
only to shoot him In thu leg's.
On eross-exnmlniitlon Mr. Jone3 at
tempted to sdiow that Koeliler has been
before the couu on several occasions
for lrregulailtles In which reckless use
of arms, chopping down a door and
the like were numbered. Jud-je I'M
wards vvou'd not permit the Introduc
tion of this testimony.
Evidence 011 the. part of the defence
was however nllqived to show that
Keryckl hart hfn ,conv(pted at the
February term. 1S9G. of aggravated as
sault and batten-. The defense show
ed that Koeliler was cognizant ct this
when he wenUJicfrBiaRe'thc arrest and
used It as r.ji r.rnHmPnb'io prove that
Koehler had cJusb o be in fear of
Keryckl.
With this the defense rested. The
commonwealth called a number of
Prlceburg citizens, Including several
members of. the brass band to which
Keryckl belonged to show that he was
a good, quiet, law-abiding man and
that while ho might have had an
occasional ipiarre', which Is the rule
rather than, the exception with those
people, thUclieurrudance was not to
be taknn as an Indication of his general
character.
NO HACKS TO THE CHAIRS.
Mrs. Opcnowlcz, County Detective
Ljyshon and others were called to
prove 4.hcie 'were no backs to the
three chairs In the room In which the
killing took place, which evidence was
adduced for the puiposo of contradict
ing the witnesses -for the defens-J who
swore particularly and positively that
Keryckl, when assaulting Koehler had
hold of the chair by Its back.
Judge Ward began his closing pica
p.t 1 45 and spoke far over an hour,
making one ot the most eloquent nnd
powerful aldresses that a Lackawanna
county Jury hat- ever listened too. He
laid particular c-mphasl.i on the "glar
In Inconsistencies" of the testimony of
commonwealth's witnesses, Alex Ker
yckl and Constantino Shuzinskl, that
'koehler walked directly dver to the
bed where Keryckl was asleep, and
shot htm without a word, and also
brought forcibly . before the Jury the
contradictions regarding the noise In
the bedroom, two of the witnesses say
ing there was positively no disturbance
arid others admitting that they were
attracted up stairs by the noise of the
scuflle. The conclusion he asked the
Jurors to reach was tint these 'wit
nesses were not telling the truth.
"Its Impossible," said the veteran of
the war, with his hand raised alott, it
Is Impossible for those people to tell
the truth. When I was a boy some
seventy years ago tho Lackawanna
river was a beautiful stream of pure
water, teeming with fish. It was used
for culinary purposes and we boys
used to bathe there and we used to
water our cattle there. Now a dog
wouldn't wade through It, so polluted
has it become. You can't get pure
water from a polluted fountain; you
can't get truth from a foul heart. You
can't get from these people what Is not
in them."
GAVE AN OBJECT LESSON.
In explaining away the seeming
physlclal Impossibility ot Koehler hav
ing fired the bullet while Keryckl was
above him, Judge Ward had his col
league, Mr. Duffy, assume the role of
Koehler and he impersonating Keryckl,
gave an exhibition of the manner In
which the conflict and killing occurred
as it was. presented to his view. With
Koehler on one knee and in the act
of rising, and Keryckl bending above
him in the act of delivering a blow with
the chair he demonstrated that the
bullet would take exactly the very
course described by Dr. J. J. Bll
helmer, a commonwealth itnes3
whoso description of the dliectlon tho
bullet took was "backward (from the
pit of tho stomach) slightly downward
and outward."
The fact that the celling was only
seven feet high as stated by all the wit
nesses proved that Keryckl, who was
a large man, must have stooped over
considerably to raise a chair above his
head.
In concluding Judge Ward said that
there could be no medium finding un
der the evidence. The verdict would
have to be first degree murder or noth
ing. If they believed the witnesses for
the prosecution and disbelieved those
for the defense, then their verdict must
be murder In the first degree. If, how
ever, they could not believe the prose
cution's witnesses and did not doubt
all of the defendant's witnesses then
the would have to acquit Koehler. For
his part, he said, under such evidence,
he wouldn't hang a dog for killing a
sheep,
MR. JONES' ADDRESS.
District Attorney Jones' closing was
a vehement denunciation of Koehler
and his crime and a vigorous plea for a
first degree verdict. He began by mak
ing a very complimentary reference to
Judge Ward's power, logic and elo
quence and referred to his legal career
as a bright and shining page in the
court history of Lackawanna county.
Rut, ho said, the Jury was not to pay
any heed to eloquence, power or logic
01 allow sympathy or sentiment to ex
ert any inlluence in forming their
opinions; tho evidence should bo their
only guide in coming to a conclusion
In the case.
Koeliler was not, he said, before the
court In the capacity of a public olll
cer and was not to be In any way
considered such. He was there as a
murderer and was to bo treated as
any other murderer. Mr. Jones said ho
believed from all he knew of the casa
and from his knowledge of other cases
which ho had prosecuted during his
tlmo as dUtrlct attorney that with
only ono exception this was the moat
atrocious and outrageous murder of
them all.
Koehler has proved himself, he said,
a, wllfull, vlcioua, reckless, danaeroua
nnd bloodthirsty man and If he was
freed from this crime, he prophesied
that within a year he would repeat his
act In which case the Jury, he held,
would have the blood of the victim
on Its hands. The deceased may have
been Intoxicated and he may have bcci.
unfortunate enough to gtf Into trouble,
but ho was a human being nnd should
not have been shot down like a dog.
REVIEWED THE TESTIMONY.
Mr. Jones made a careful and exhaus
tive review of the testimony showing
the alleged weakness ot the defense
and pointing out how the story of the
witnesses; for the commonwealth was
In all reason the truthful one as they
were In the main disinterested while
every one of the prlnclpul witnesses
for the prosecution were lntcrested.they
having been participants In the out
rage. He closed by baying with force
ful emphasis that the good of tho
community nnd the upholding of law
and order demanded a. verdict of mur
der In the first degree.
Judge Edwards' charge was n care
fully worded review of the testimony
and thorough Instruction In the law
bearing on the cae. If the Jury had
hoped for any assistance from the
bench' In shaping Its mind It was dis
appointed as the Judge neither by com
mission nor omission turned the bal
ance one way or the other. Ho spoke
for an hour and a quarter.
POLISH PAPER'S LIBEL SUIT.
It Wns on licforc Judge Archbnld All
Dny Ycstcrdny.
Tho case of the commonwealth
against Dangcl Langowskl was taken
up before Judge Archbald In court room
No. 2 at the beginning of yesterday's
session. Langowskl was, In 1896, con
nected with tho Polish paper known
as the Weekly Scrantonlan, and later
as the Pennsylvania Weekly, published
In South Scranton, and Is chnrged with
criminal libel by the prosecutor, Rev.
Bruno Iwanowskl, priest of St. Mary's
Roman Catholic church of ncebursr.
The articles complained of appeared In
two different numbers of the caoor.
The defendant claims that at the
time of the publication of tho first ar
ticle he was simply a compositor on
the paper and that the publication of
the second nrtlcle was Justified by the
facts. The case was still on at ad
journment. .Attorneys Kelly, Lowry and Taylor
appear for the prosecution and Attor
ney Vokolek for the defendant.
The Jury In the burglary case against
Eugene Courtrlght, Frank Dunn and
John Wilkinson returned a verdict nt
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Court
right and Wilkinson were found guilty
of attempted burglary and Dunn was
acaultted.
Henry II. Plleegar, of Berwick, who
married his step-daughter, Bessie M.
Hartsell, In this city last summer and
was arrested at the instance of his
deceased wife's brother, John G. Cox,
pleaded guilty before Judge Edwards
yesterday. When tho fact that Pllee
ger contracted the Incestuous marriage
in Ignorance of It being a crime and
only nt the request of his dying wife
for tho purpose of keeping the family
together, the Judge suspended sentence.
Judge Gunstcr, who was consulted by
Plleegar as to how he should proceed
for the future, was auvlsed for the
sake of their unborn babe to go to some
state where they can be married legally
and have tho knot re-tied.
AND STILL THEY COME.

(Milan's Lecture.
The Institute yesterday was some
what wearisome but tho talks of Depu
ty State Superintendent Houck bright
ened things up a bit and Professor S.
Y. Glllans' lccturo In the afternoon
was exceedingly thoughtful. Tho
morning session was opened with an
Invocation by Dr. Blgsby and Profes
sor Dei man conducted the singing les
son. Tho flr3t speaker was Superintendent
Coughlln, of Wllkes-Barre schools,
and his subject was "Character Build
ing." Ho gave a sample of questions
that ho asked of the fourth' and fifth
grade pupils and told of some of tho
extremely peculiar answers given by
some of the pupils. He gave these ex
amples merely to show the effect of
knowledge on the Individual. Active
answers, original, If you please, will
show you that the child Is learning
regularly.
Dr. Blgsby did not give his usual
language lesson but Instead told a
etory to idiow how a pupil's Interest
may be aroused in a subject. His story
was "Louis, the Well-Beloved of
France." He told of tho tragic death
of Marie Antolrette, with whoso his
tory and suffering Dr. Blgsby is es
pecially familiar, nnd gave a vivid
word-painling of the court of France
at the time.
MR. HOUCK'S REMARKS.
When Henry A. Houck, the deputy
stats superintendent, nroie to speak he
was greeted with hearty hund-clapplng.
ttis talk was characteristically humor
ous, lie envp his experience when h's
was at so. 10I, the humorous blending
with the pathetic.
Yesterday, the last afternoon session
was held. Miss Voorh'ees addressing
the intermediate grades, Miss Mo
Cioskey, the prhhary grades and Pro
fessor Glllan, the grammar grades.
.iss Voorhees gave an Instructive ud
dress on expression. Miss McCloskey
gave her custdlnury charming talk to
the primary teachers. She took up child
reading. Miss McCloskey advocates
the feeding of standard literature to
the young idea before the third or
fourth trades. This will create a lik
ing for g)od books which will be more
difficult 111 the higher grades.
Professor Glllan talked to the gram
mar grades on geography, seeking to
bring out those little facts which are
not usually printed In text books. Yes
t' rday tho lesson played about the
scene of the Turco-Greclan war.
At a o'clock the Institute re-met for
general Instruction. After singing, in
which "Tho Star Spangled Banner"
und "My Country 'Tls of Thee" were
happily Included, Superintendent How-
J.) announced that Miss ''oorhets
would, by request, repeat the recl'a-
on which she gave Tuesday, "Rock
Mo to Sleep Mother, Rock Me to Sleep "
A sweeter, more sympathetic speaking
of the piece, with Its dignified pathos,
than that by Miss Voorhees yesterday
could not be possible.
WHERE ARE AVE AT?
After more slnglnsr Professor Gllltm
gave his lecture on "Where Arc Wo
At?" which was thu most Ditientious
of any given to the regular institute.
Professor Glllan said the question Is
not where we 'are at, but whither are
we drifting? The oceans, said Profes
sor Glllan, which used to be barriers,
are now highways for commerce and
the waters now "Join" the lands. Af
ter mentioning the several factors In
the life of tho busy world. Professor
Glllan arrived at the school history of
America. The 'first part of trie now
dying century showdd tho schools In
their Infancy; the middle part was the
mechanical period, and for the last
third of the century more books of an
?ducaticnal value have- been written
than In the entire previous history of
tho world. Punishment with its rod
have been relegated, nnd vVe como to
this fin do slecle period when education
is a study of human nature.
Piofessor Glllan then showed the
several Impulses from which a He Is
born in the child mind and dwelt for a
time on the attitude of the teacher
toward the child. From this ho dis
cussed the new literature which seems
to have outgrown the stilted style of
the old masters, like Johnson.
Ho would rather that the new should

fessor GlllUn's last words were: "To
know how to profit by the old and to
catch tho Inspiration of tho yesterday
will bo excelled by tho good of tomor
row." Tho lecture was tho meatiest of
the Institute.
THE OLD 'SONGS.
Superintendent Houck then spoke;
Ho was sentimental nt first, sneaking
of the blessedness of old songs In an
affecting way, but his natural humor
would burst out Just at tho right time.
Mr. Houck attends the Institutes not
as an Instructor, but ns an entertainer
and the commonwaalth of Pennsylva
nia has a precious valuable In him If
for no other reason than tp brighten
tne grey of a teaencr's life.
This morning's session will close the
Institute. This evening tho pupils of
the high school will give an entertain

(Mendelssohn) nnd "Lullaby of Life"
(Leslie), two compositions calculated
to give tho necessary variety In per
formance, so as to prove the capacity
of the choirs. The adjudicator was Dr.
RIseloy, R. A. M., of Bristol, The fact
that two such celebrated choirs were
pitted against each other made the
contest a very Interesting one and deep
silence prevailed during the ringing.
The adjudicator had no difficulty In
urrlvlng at a satisfactory conclusion,
although the singing by both choirs
was unusually robust and 6tlrrlng, but
the precision and shading of the Dow
lals choir excelled, and, consequently,
was awarded the prize.
Harry Evans, was Invested with the
gold crown. This was tho first Import
ant elsteddfodical contest of the sum
mer season.
