One thing Is Bttre, Koluit wltl not hang. Judge aunster settled that (lucstlon yesterday afternoon In Ills charge to the Jury. He said towards tho conclusion of his Instructions: "While It Is for the Jury to ilx the degree of the crime, let mo caution you, gentlemen, against finding a verdict or murder In the first de gree." To a Tribune leporter who after wards questioned him as to the force of the above remnrk, Judge Gunater said: "It virtually amounts to an In junction; It directs them not to find a first degree verdict." Tho rase wns given to tho Jury at 4. CO o'clock yesterday afternoon and they Immediately retired to deliberate. It is expected that they will have reached a verdict by the opening of court this morning. Kohttt was put on the stand yester day morning and told of his movements on the night of the killing from the time he returned from work in the af ternoon until he went to bed at 11 o'clock at night. STORY KOHUT TOLD. Ho said that during tho early even ing he and somo friends drank a couple of palls of beer nt his own house and nftcrwards went over to tho Kasmlrltls tenement In response to an Invitation from one of the tenants In tho base ment, who had a keg of beer on tap. As he wns returning homo nt 10 o'clock, he encountered a trio of Poll In the yard. One of them called him a "bloody dog of a Hungarian," and then they pelted him with stones. Sub sequently ho and two companions ran across this same trio and were at tacked by them. In the melee Kohut claims he was cut on both hands. He got away without being Very seriously Injured, went to his home across the street and was In bed before the clock struck eleven. He wns not present, he swore, when Novak was assaulted; did not know of the assault until the next morning and, as far as he knows, never In his life saw any man named Andrew Novak and did not know that such a person existed until he heard of the assault the morning following Its occurrence. Kohut started in to give his testi mony In English, but as the polysyl lable language of the court room was Just a little beyond him, he gave up the attempt and called on Interpreter Mar tin Woyshner for assistance. OTHER TESTIMONY. The only other testimony of the day wns that of Dr. Blllhelmer and Attor ney Vokolek, who told that the spot where the killing occurred was very dark, and County Detective Leyshon and Constable Richard Barron, who swore that Kohut admitted In 'Squire Logan's office that he did not go to bed until 11.30 o'clock on tho night In question. The closing addresses were made by Mr. Horn for the defense nnd Mr. Thomas for the commonwealth, the former talking for an hour and twenty minutes and the latter for an even hour. Judge Gunster occupied an hour in delivering his charge. WAS DECLARED A DRAW. Tommy Ryan and Jim Judge Gave Fine Exhibition of the Manly Art In Music Hall. Last night's 20-round boxlig contest between Tommy Ryan, of Philadelphia, and Jim Judge was decided a draw. Judge forced the Issue until the sev enteenth round when he received a right hook on the neck and only saved himself by clinching. He had not re covered In the eighteenth but Ryan hnd shot his bolt and could not profit by his advantage. Judge got his strength back after the eighteenth round and did most, of tho work but both men were too much pumped out to bring the nffalr to a. definite con clusion. The draw was according to .in agreement that such was to be the decision If 'both were on their feet at the finish. The crowd that filled Music hall was a little mora than the seating capacity. The following version of Ryan's vicious blow in the seventeenth round wns de scribed to a Tribune reporter by John Tigue, the local lightweight: "Judge hnd been landing on Ryan's mouth with straight lefts since early in the bout, but always failed to find Ryan's head when he tried to follow with his right. This happened In tho seentcenth and Ryan was close enough' to hook his tight palm on Judge's neck. The effect was like being hit on the neck with a stuffed club. I wns surprised to see that Judge had enough strength left after he arose to clinch and avoid go ing out. If Ryan had been stronger ho could have won In the eleh'teenth. Judge had a little the best of the last two rounds." When the men entered the ling Judge took the corner at tho re&r and Ryan the one at the front of the stage. Tho announcement was made that tlio weight was 113 pounds, but Ryan was four pounds above tint figure. Tho men were called to the center of the ling and Instructed that there was to be a clean break and hitting enly with both" aims free. Rounds 1, 2 und 3 'Ihe first two wero uneventful. Both weic cautious and judg ing distances. There were several Hunt and ineffective leads. Ttyun was appar ently tho more nervy of tho two until tho third round when both weib in clined to begin fusterwork. Rounds 4 nnd 5 In tho fourth Judge rushed over Ryan's right kneo and tell. Rynn led for the stomach but falls to leach it. Ho Is foiced to a corner and counters lightly with tho left on tho cheek but receives two moro business llko taps In return. In tho fifth Judgo was disposed to push mutters. tils straight lefts for the faco counted but to no such extent ns did one of Ryan's which fell on Judgo's mouth und which K'.wo ftyun tliMl blood. Round 6 From tho beginning of this round Judge did most of tho fighting up to tho seventeenth, Jabbing his left re peatedly Into Ryan's face and stomach und nearly alwuys forcing him about the ring, In the sixth Ryan was receiving lefts on tho face und ducking to avoid Judge's right. Rounds 7 and 8 Ryan countered with his right on tho forehead. Ho gets an other left on thu face but sprung u small leak In Judgo's noo before the gong rang. In tho eighth Judgo hooked his left into Ryan's stomach, Round 9 This was the fastest of the enrly rounds. Judge was at Ryan like a hurrlritnu forcing him about tho ring and battering away at Ryan's mouth. Judge crossed hi loft on the Jaw Just before, the belt rang and had Ryuit lu distress. Round 10 Ryan wns showing the effects or Judgo's fnBt work. Tho Scruntonlun's left was working like u piston and usu ally finding Its mnik. Onco Judgo re ceived n right in tho back of tho neck. Ryan was very tired and his lips wero bndly swollen and his nose bleeding. Round 11 There had been only nu oc casional trickle of blood from Judgo's nose and mouth during tho few preceding rounds. In this one he always had Ryan clinching and once forced him to drop on ono knee and avoid punishment. Round 12 Twice Tommy Ryan dropped to hts knee to rest. Judgo continues to find Ryan's faco with his left but al ways falls to connect with his right, be cause of ono of tho cleverest exhibition of ducking ever seen In Music hall. Rounds 13 and II Were not productlo of much effective work by either man, though Judgo was nearly always tho ag gressor until tho close of tho fourteenth ivhen Ryan countered heavily with his left on the body. Round 15 Uynn was floored by a right on tho back of tho neck and received an other whllo getting awny. He repeated ly clinched and held Judge's left knee. Judge places u right over the heart and is after Ryan all over the ring, tno lat ter clinching Judgo's leg at every oppor tunity. Round 1G Ryan wns forced to tho ropes nt tho back of tho stugo and rested on ono knoo nine seconds according to Ref eree Murphy's count, iloth finished tho round with caution. Judge onco viciously swung his light and missed, Ryan clinch ing. Round 17 It wns near the mlddlo of this round that Judgo received tho pre viously described hook on tho neck. Ho foil in a heap on bis right side. After be ing down six teconds ho arose with dif ficulty, leaned away from a right swing and received a left uppercut on the chin. HIb arms fell across Ryan's shoulders and clung thero as near to dopednm as old over a boxer nnd stand up under tho strain. It was with dlilleulty that Ref eree Murphy separated them. Ryan put his left on tho face and a poorly directed right on the check, Judge clinching. Tho pair were separated us the gong long. Round IS Judge's gamencss was shown when he slowly stepped lrom his cor ner and made an attempt nt clean fight ing. He was clearly groggy,' however, and during the mlddlo of tho round ap parently reached tho conclusion that his chances rested in defensive work. Tho early punishment Ryan had received un fitted him for finishing his man. lie was riot able to prevent Judgo's clinches. Round 19 Judtfo showed a wonderful recovery and was after Ryan lrom tho start. Ryan missed a loft swing for tho head, as did Judge. Tho latter put his left twleo on Ryan's face but could find no lauding place for his right. Round 20 Uoth men wero tired. Judgo rushod Ryan to tho former's corner where they fell. When they arose they exchanged lefts on tho body. Ryan got his right on the back of Judge's nr.ck when tho lust gong sounded. Ryan was handled by Jack Tomp kins nnd mils- O'Neill, of New York city, and Bill Poole nnd Kid Brown, of Scranton. In Judge's corner were his sparring parrner, Hobby Dobbs; J. Tur ner Wall, of New York city, and Paddy Hopkins, of Scranton. Eddie Coleman wns timekeeper for tho club, Joe Mc Nally for Ryan and Dan Gibbons for Judge. The announcements were made by Larry Ketrlck. Frank Hartley, of Blnghamton, a pro tege of the Syracuse Ryan, was Intro duced from the stage before the main event began. He wns announced as the challenger of the winner. It was also stated that Dobbs was to be matched for a 20-round bout Feb. 23 with somo opponent yet to bo decided upon. The S-round preliminary between Jack Livingston and John Dunleavy was won by tho former. SHIRT SALESMEN FREE. Canes Against .Solomon .V I'ulloc Are Settled.

Mr. Win, Handschu, of 4Cth St. Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa., expresses himself rw follows regarding tho new remedy for that common nnd obstinate dlsense, piles: "t tnke plensuro In stating that I was so mulcted with piles that for three months I got no tegular Bleep; I became completely prostrnted, the doc tors did me no good; my brother told me of the new remedy for plies, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased from my druggist three KO cent boxes nnd they completely cured me, I nm onco more nt my work and but for this ex cellent medicine 1 should be on my back, t take great pleasure In writing this letter because so many people are sufferers from this trouble who like myself did not know where to look for ii permanent, reliable safe cure. Experience with tho Pyramid Pile Cure In the past three years has dem onstrated to tho medical profession, as well as to thousands'of sufferers from piles, that It Is tho safest nnd most effectual pile cure ever offered to the public, containing no opiates or pois ons of any kind, painless and conveni ent to handle, and being sold by drug gists at CO cents nnd $1 per box, Is within the reach of every sufferer. Very frequently two or throe boxes have made a complete cure of chronic cases that has not yielded to other remedy for years, Thero Is scarcely a disease more ag gravating nnd obstlnnto to cure than tho various forms of piles and It Is a commm-n practice to use ointments, salves and similar preparations con taining dangerous poisons to remove the trouble. Tho Pyramid has super ceded all of these Ineffectual remedies and no ono suffering with nny rectal trouble will make any mistake In giv ing the Pyramid a trial. If In doubt ns to the nnture of your trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co,, Marshall, Mich,, for a valuable lltths book on piles, describing all forms of the disease and describing the method of cure. Any druggist can furnish the Pyra mid Pile Cure, as it Is the best known and most popular remedy for-piles, and If you ask him he can doubtless refer you to many people In your vicinity who have been cured completely by It, Klondike Cold.
