I 317 Lackawanna Ave, WALTZ'S FATE IN HANDS OF JURY Tiic Testimony All In Aflernooo. on Saturday PLEAS OF OPPOSINQ ATTORNEYS Kilson W. Sit mini, for tho Defense, nnd A. II. JlcColluin for the Com monwealth Deliver I'.loquent Ad drcsM'H to the JuryA Verdict May Jto ltcndorcd This Morning. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. .Montrose. Auc. IB. The last day of thp John Waltz trial, at least the last day of testimony occurred yesterday. Early In the mornlns Waltz was ner vous, but In tho afternoon he was as placid as could bo and Pat back li. his chair with folded arms and apparently nn earnest listener to Edson W. Saf fotd. The testimony wap, on the last day, dlrlntorestlng It was the beginning of the end and when the readers of The Tilbune read of this day's proceedings John Waltz may be a fiee man or he may be a murderer subject to sentence. The Jttjy now have and will decide his fate, but their verdict will not bs known until Monday morning at tho caillest. After Dr. Brady had been further ex amined as to cross-evamtnatlon, James Atthur was called. Mr. Arthur lives In Forest City, and testified that Dr. Com sa had made his home with him while In Koiest City. He could not Identify the revolver, but when the weapon found at Jabez Lemon's feet was pro duced paid that It looked like the one he had se3n Lemon have. Walter Uallston, tho next witness, had frequently been at Lemon's place. Had seen Lemon's legs and described their diseased condition. David Lewis then took the stand, lie Is a beer ppddler from Carbondale. He knew both' Waltz nnd Lemon and s-nld that Lemon told him a few days before the shooting that he only want ed one of the two cases of beer which Waltz had ordered. Lemon had satd when he Inquired why ho only wanted one case that he didn't think he would live longer th'au to use one case; this was Thursday before the-shootlntr. Helnhart S. Jacobs had known Waltz three years. Ho also testified that he had yesterday made tests of taking and shouting in the same room occu pied by Lemon and Stanton (the latter swore he heard Lemcn and Waltz quar lel Saturday night before the tragedy.) He told how the experiment was con ducted and how Nolan, one of the par ties, had yelled loudly. Ho also knew Lemon; hail heard him eay, "Some of these mornings the people will And me dead In this rcom." William Nolan also corroborated Ja cob's testimony as to tests of sound. He does not know Waltz very well. W. II. Bates was asked then about the blood on Lemon's watch. Dr. Dmdy was recalled and he was prevented from saying much by objec tions ftom the commonwealth. Leonard Koeltz, next swoin, said that Waltz had worked for him, and that he had been a good, faithful employe. CHARACTER WITNESSES. Then came a fussilade of Forest City and Caibnndale witnesses to prove to the jury that John Waltz's character was good, and that he was a good and peacable citizen. They were: John Merrick, Wood berry Colle, Fiank Mclteynolds, A. II. Curtl3, Relnhart Jncobs, James Arthur, Milton J. Arthur, James Howard, Da vid Lewis. James Hlgglns, Charles Hlg glns, W. II. Evans and Benjamin Wil liams. All of these men testified as to the peacable nature of Waltz, that he was a good citizen. Then ended the evidence of tho de fense. In rebuttal the commonwealth pro duced Mrs, Mary Davis. Her evidence was rejected as Incompetent, as she v. as to prove t,hat Waltz had said that he had not done It, but knew who did. 'Squire D. It. Braman was also side tracked on evidence regarding seeing a revolver on tho person of Waltz Saturday before tho tragedy. Mr. Safford became very much an gered at this point, and in his objection spoke vehemently of tho notion on the part of the commonwealth. C. E. Stevens was the last witness placed upon the stand In the Waltz murder trial. At 11.30 the evidence was closed, then came tho aftermath. After certain citations of law re garding circumstantial evidence had been offered by Counsel A. H. McCol lum, the matter ended so far as argu ment to the court was concerned. ATTORNEY SAFFORD'S ADDRESS. It was exactly twenty minutes be fore five o'clock when Attorney Saf. ford completed his discourse to tho Jury. Ho reviewed the trial, dwelt upon tho evidence produced, and In an Sflflffff We have the finest line of carpets ever brought to Scranton,all grades aud prices.

Then Attorney A. H. McCollum ad dressed the Jury. He gave tho history of the tragedy. Ho Rave nn apt repre sentation of how Waltz stealthily stole Into the roonj, where Lemon slept, took his (?) revolver and shot him. Then how ho turned tho chair around so Lemon would face his cot, a position which would have mado It Impossible for one to have shot htm, and at that time It was then that he placed the revolver under Lemon's foot, and blood marks placed on the revolver. When Attorney McCollum had con cluded his address, Judge Searlo charged tho Jury. Tho Judgo gave a lucid explanation of what the testi mony of witnesses means. He de scribed what constitutes murder. The Jury then took tho case. FOREST CITY. An Ice cream social will bo held In Odd Fellows hall, Main street, this evening by British American lodge, Sons of St. George. Light refresh ments will be served and a choice mu sical programme will bo rendered. The public generally Is given an invitation. Nicholas Morlck, who la employed In tho Delaware and Hudson mine at Vandllng, was painfully hurt Saturday morning by a premature blast. Ills face was cut and filled with powder, but he sustained no dangerous Injur ies. Dr. Dwyer of this place attend ed him and later he was taken to tho Emergency hospltat at Carbondale. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Weed spent Sunday at Lake Como. Mrs. Weeed Willi remain thcro for several weeks. Miss Alice Box Is at Wlnterdale, Wayne county, visiting relatives. Attorney Henry Mulholland, of Scranton, was the guest of his sister, Mrs. C. E. Taylor, on Saturday and Sunday. W. S. Bryant, of MayfbMd, was among Forest City visitors Saturday. Quite a number of Forest City peo ple went on the Erie's Sunday ex cursion to New York city. R. E. Alexander returned Saturday from an extended visit to New York city. Something flbolif the F?sfive Mosqtiifo. From tho Springfield Republican. Some ber.ovojcntly Inclined philosophers have attempted to console the peoplo with some ingenious theories recently to the effect that mosquito bites are healthful, but Dr. George DImmock, of Grant street, In this city, who, from his laboratory up on State street, is making discoveries which are earning for him almost an In ternational reputation as an authority In entomology, says tint this consoling phase of the subject Is yet far from be ing established. Tho mosquito simply Is here, and must make tho best of It. And tho cause of his appearanco in such numbers Is to be found In natuial phe nomena, namely, tho excessive rainfall. o Tho mosquito breeds In the water. When tho female Is about to lay her eggs Mio chooses a stagnant pool and shapes the batch of eggs so that they float about on top. After a few days a little flshllko animal emerges from tho bottom of each egg and becomes, In the languago of the schoolboy, a "wriggler." Everyone who has looked into a rain tub on a hot day has seen those little creatures wriggling themselves through the water. These are the larvae. If ono approaches tho tub quietly ho can see them resting at tho top, seemingly hanging neaa aownwara from the surface of the water. While in this position they are breathing, for tho animal must have air as well as water. The mosquito remains In this state for several days, when It become a pupa, and a few days later the skin of tho pupa !s seen to split down the back and tho winged mosquito carefully works hl3 way out and statlors himself on his out grown skin, using It as a laft while he dries himself and gets strength for his fllsht. IIU slender body soon dries off nnd he spreads his wings and starts off on his mission of mischief. o It is only In tho last few years that we havo known Just how the mosquito gets in his bill and sucls tho blood. Mr. Dim mock was at Lclpslc, Germany, at tho time, working for his Ph. D. degree, his tubject being tho mouthpieces of in sects. Applying his pbwerful microscope to the bill of the mosquito, ho discovered It to be composed of six distinct prongs, with a sheaf around tho whole. When the Insect begins to work ho pulls this sheaf back under him, which leaves the prongs free to operate. Of these prongs tho first two aro notched like a saw, and are used to pull tho rest of tho tools In, Otherwlso the mosquito, being such a lightweight and not being able to hang on with his feet. If he attempted to thrust his bill In by main force would simply pry himsolf off into the air. But by Inserting these two hooks alternately ho actually pulls his beak Inside hts victim's flesn. Tho next two prongs are joined together to make a chisel, and serve to dig the holo out wider. The next, tho fifth prong, Is tubular and carries the polron from the poison duct back In tho mosquito's head dorn Into tho flesh. This makes the blood of his victim thinner, and thus more easy for him to suck up. The last rrong Is the largest of all and Is meant to reap In the harvest, for which all tho other work Is merely p:ollmlnary, for Jt Is a tube through which the Insect sucks In the blood of his sacrifice. Of course, all the prong? aro exceedingly minute. o Just why the mosquito bites people Is not yet known. It Is not to furnish him food, for It t3 an established fact that a mosquito, after gorging himself with hu man blood, dies within a few hours: whereas mosquitoes that have never tasted blocd have been known to live very comfortably oven through the en tire winter and Into the net season. The adult mosquito does not need food. Dur ing his larva stage he has stored up enough nourishment to last him all his life, and It is his normal state to go with out food for the teat of his existence. All that he needs is moist air, adult mos quitoes being known to pass the winter In damp collars, living on nothing but tho mclsture. Tho fact that it 4s esti mated that only one out of 10,000 oer tastes human blood also proves that It is not neceisary. Why he persists in tortur. Ing mankind, therefore, nas not yet been found out, and scientists can only swear softly with the rest of mankind and make the general statement that the mosquito Is born with a vitiated appetite for human gore an eppatlto that causes the death of the lndulger. and is thus precisely par allel to the drunkard's thirst for drink. e Theories have been advanced to show thnt tho blto of the mosquito is beneficial. One of tho most Interesting of these has been advanced within the last few months, and Is to the effect that the In sect, In blt'ng a person, leaves lnsldo of tho flesh that whloh Inoculates tho person against tho germs of malaria. The fact that the mosquito la most abundant in malarial regions Is brought up to sup port this theory, and also the fact that tho Itching that "follows tho blto of one of the Insects Is very similar to that which ac companies tho Injection of small-pox germs Into tho arm In vaccination. The samo misguided theorist goes on to state that tho mosquito In this act is purely philanthropic and does not uck blood at all. He dwells up, to bo sure, hut this Is merely the expansion of the lymphatic fluids in his own foody duo to the muscular exercise which ho Is undergoing. In sup rcrt erf this theory the theorist states that tho proboscis of the Insect Is so shaped that It tannot suck blood. Dr. DImmock doubta tho truth of the malarial part of the theory and says that lymphatio Juice supposition is absurd, for ho has eeen through the microscope that tho Insect's proboscis is hollow and has also traced tho existence of a pump ing machlno back In the lnsot's head, whereby ho sucks tho blood up precisely as a syringe draws water. As to tho malarial theory he will not make any dcflnlto assertion. It may or may not bo true. Tho fact that a mosquito bite swells un on somo tieonle. while on oth ers It haB no effoct whatever, those the orists claim, Is due to tho fact that the former are malarlally inclined and this, thov say. supports their theory. But Dr. DImmock will not accept this, for he him self is ono of thoso who are grievously affected by tho bites, but is not In the least subject to malaria. And yet there is no doubt, he says, that the mosquito does carry disease germs. In Havana Dr. Findlay has found that yellow fever Is carried by tho mosquitoes. They will bite a patient who Is sick with the dis ease and, with their bills laden with tho germs, bite another person. If tho germs thus carried aro fow, the second person is made only partly sick and is thus really Inoculated, but more cases than one havo been recorded of tho spread of yellow fever being due entirely to the dis semination of tho disease by tho mos quito. o To get rid of theso companions of man has long occupied the minds of scientists as well as housekeepers, and a word from them will prove a boon to suffering hu manity Just now. The simplest and prob ably tho most efficacious method of kill ing them is to pour keroseno oil on tho surface of the ponds whero the larvae are developing. A very small quantity Is sufficient to disturb their breathing ap paratus, and they very soon drown. Dr. DImmock tried this last spring. He poured two drops of crudo petroleum In a tub of water, which was fairly alive with tho wrigglers, and in a very short tlmo afterward nearly every one was dead. This remedy has been tried to somo extent In tho Catsklll Mountain re gion, where the presenco of mosquitoes has dono serious harm to the summer hotels, and It has proved successful. The smudgo of smoko has been found the best thing by campers to rid them of tho pest, though this is not always sure. Fishermen and those frequenting swamps havo found that a very useful way is to cover tho face and hands with aro matic ointments, one of tho best being mado out of mutton tallow mixed with camphor and oil of pennyroyal. A simple mixture of tar and pennyroyal Is also advantageous to those who are fond of tar bathing. Naturo has provided some enemies to the Insects In the shape of devil's darning needles, or dragon files, and some thrifty scientists have tried to propagate these artificially for family use; but the dragon Mies aro cannibals, and colonies soon meet tho sad fate of the Kilkenny cats, so that the greater part of our mosquitoes must meet an untimely death by tho violent applica tion of tho human hand applied Judicious ly to tho human neck, or wherever the need occurs. CRIMINALS riNGEUS DEroilMKl) A Deficiency of Size or Nnmbcr Quite Common Anions Offenders. AccordlnK to La Medicine Modern Dr. P. Penta h'as studied the flncers and toes of 4,500 criminals, and finds a de ficiency In the size or number of toes quite frequent anions: them, although very rare among ordinary men. He has also observed that prehensile toes, marlied by a wide space between the great toe and the second toe, is a con dition quite common among criminals, also a web-betl condition of the toea, an approximation to tho toeless feet of some savages. The little toes are also rudlmentnry In many cases, showing a tendency toward the four-toed animal foot; but the most common of all the abnormali ties was the webbed condition of the toes. THE MARKETS. i Wall Street Ilcviow. New York, Aii. 14. There was another striking- Illustration today of the Inherent strength for tho market for stocks, heavy offerings to realize at the opening being readily absorbed and a, strong fresh buy ing impulso Invited by tho lower level of prices. The now Impulse soon turned the tldo of prices to an upward course once more, wiping out the sharp early losses and establishing net gains for the whole list. Tho early decline extended to from IVi to 2 points In many prominent stocks and tho subsequent rise established net gains of 1 to 2 points In many stocks. The Grangers wre for&most In activity and in tho width of thev arlatlons in prices. The Industrial stocks again took quite a prominent place In the trading. Sugar advanced fully H after an early decline and Tobacco, after a loss of 2Vi, rallied 2V4. The aggresate sales wero 272.1S shares.
