MESS RATHER THAN
MASS OF TESTIMONY
Difficult to Get at the Slory 0! the
Novak Murder.
EIGHT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
Only Ono ot tho Commonwealth's
Witnesses Positively Identified
Kohut ns tho Ono Who Dealt tho
J1IOW--A. Witness for tiio Dolcnso
Says tho Assailant Spoko Polish.
Sonio Chnrncter Testimony.
Thittoen witnesses, in eight differ
ent languages, yesterday described in
a. dozen different ways just how the
Novak murder happened. 'Such a
mtss of disconnected, unintelligible
and contradictory testimony was pos
sibly never before adduced at a mur
der trial (n this county. It Is safe to
say th'o Jury had a very decided kind
of a reasonable doubt about Kohut's
guilt even before tho testimony for
tho defenso was opened.
Nina witnesses In nil were called by
tho commonwenlth yesterday. All of
them knew that there was bter, music,
dancing, singing, fighting and moro
beer on every lloor of the three-story
Kosmlrltis tenement on tho night of
the killing; that there was a man
struck on the head with a stone and
that one of threo men committed tho
deed Two of tho eye witnesses of tho
assault wero positive that the one of
tho three assailants was Kohut or at
least a man dressed In tho same col
ored clothes th'at Kohut wore. One of
tho witnesses and the only ono that
positively connected Kohut with the
delivery of the fatal blow was Jacob
Gazenda. He saw the three men ap
proach Novak and distinctly saw Ko
hut bilng a stone down on Novak'a
head.
KOHUT'S GOOD CHARACTER.
Tho defense opened with character
testimony from three witnesses, Mrs.
Betsey White, Michael Doubronchuck
and Joseph Paulovltch, who In broken
English, or through Interpreter Martin
Woyshner told that Kohut was a so
ber, Industrious, peaceable, all around
cfood man, full of virtues and without
vices.
Mrs. Annie Domlnchlle, a Moravian
woman, who lived next to the Kas
miritos tenement, told an altogether
new story of the assault. She was sit
ting in her gat den at 11 o'clock at night
listening to the golrgs-on next door.
Fho heard Novak challenge romebody
on the third floor to come down and
fight nnd then siw him come out by
the back way. Tlnee men met him as
he came down the steps and one of
them hit him on the head and knocked
him down. Then they kicked him and
Jumped on him and ran away.
KOHUT IS AN HUNGARIAN.
She was posltle that Kohut could
not have been one of the two for she
listened to them talk when they wero
behlnl the coiner of the house, pre
sumably planning the assault and all
three spoke in tho Polish tongue nnd
with the Polish accent, or as she put
It by their voice and language she knew
thorn to b' Poles.
When Mrs. Domlnchile'R testimony
warf concluded court aujourned for the
day.
Palish, Mazur, Russlnn, Czech, Lith
uanian, Slavish, Ktuat and it mixture
of Czech and Kioat were the Ipnguirgcs
Interpreter Wojahner had to contend
with yesterda.

CHARGE IS WITHDRAWN
Mrs. E. L. Rlilnetiaritt Decides Not to
1'rosecuto William II, Wright.
Tho docket in Alderman John T.
Howe's office shows that the charge of
criminal assault preferred by Mrs. B.
S. Ithlnehardt against William II.
Wright has been withdrawn. Wright's
wife, foimerly Miss Annie Jeremiah,
of West Scranton, has at the present
time a suit lor divorce pending in
court. She bases tho action on Wright's
alleged criminal intimacy with Mrs.
P.hinehardt.
When the matter of the withdrawal
of th'o charge against Wright was
mentioned to Alderman Howe yester
day, ho said, "Yes, tho case Is settled.
I did not pond tho transcripts into
couit for Mrs. Rhinehardt came in nnd
withdrew tho charge."
"Who paid the costs?"
"I don't know; I'm bure they were
paid however," said tho magistrate)
of the Seventeenth, significantly.
Wright stated to a Tribune reporter
yesterday that h'o would meet tho di
vorce, proceedings with the charge of
conspiracy.
The case against Wright, at the time
of Its hearing before Alderman Howe,
Wednesday, Jan. 12, attracted much
attention. Mrs. Rhinehardt, who had
been married only a snort time, tes
tified that Wright at 2 o'clock In tho
nfternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 4, entered
h'cr room In tho house at the corner of
Jefferson avenue and Linden street,
where Vfoth young couple lived, and
committed the assault. Wright denied
tho chuige. He furnished ball In the
sum of ?300 to appear at court.
As Wright sat In the alderman's of
fice the papers In divorce were served
upon him.

An adjoining dwelling, No. C18, was
