When tho Juij hud "handed up its

dtesseil it as tollows.

lilidaiilH llbhis illtllel in the nuittei,

this propel tv whk n was burned belonged
to his wife ami was In his possesion and
tho possession of Ills wife ut the time,
because, as 1 suggested to jou, thcie
may he u legal question whether under
those clicumstauees he could be guilty
of whut wo know as the common law
clime of arson, and therefore to assist
jou in making up this sp.tial eultct 1
luivo put togetlur what 1 think It ourlit
to embody, und If It satisfies oil. then 1
will ask you to make that 1 etui 11.
Then the Judge lead this special find
ing: THE SPKCIAL- FINDING
We llnd that Helena Otchefskl. the
owner of tho dwelling, named In the in
dictment was, at the time of the burn
ing of the panu the defendant's wife,
and was then and there In the Joint pos
session and occupancy of the said dwell
ing with tho defendant. Leon Olehefskl,
and that the said defendant did ma
liciously, willfully, volunturlly and fe
loniously bet fire to and hum the said
dwelling In maiinei nnd foim as charged
In the Indictment, and If tho court shall
be of tho opinion, as matter of law, that
is sufllclent to constitute the crime ot
lelonlous arson, then we find tho saii
defendant guilty thereof, in manner and
fotm as chaiged hi tho indictment, but
If the couit shall be of tho opinion that
this is not sulllelent to constitute tho
said crime of felonious arson, then we
llnd the said defendant not guilty thereof.
"Lot me add to what I have said,"
ontlnued Judge Aichbald. "that I do
not Intend to control you In this mat
ter and cannot control you: It Is for
jou to say w bethei jou will return Just
the general erdlct which you have
suggested or whether you will return
a special verdict In the manner I have
'said to you. If you desire you may
adhcte to a genetal vetdlct or make
Uio return such as Is suggested,"
Judge Aichbald explained at length
the slsnlflennce of the special erdlct
11 nil asked them to consult together ns
to whether or not they would find as
he suggested. They retired and after
llfleen minutes' deliberation returned
and announced that they would agiee
to the special finding Then Judge
Aichbald said:
JOMI3THINO OVL'RLOOKHD
"Since you letited my attention has
been called to the fact that the Indict
ment contains three counts nnd that
tho first two only charge the offense
of felonious arson, that the other
harges under a statute which we have
the unlawful, malicious and feloni
ous placing and throwing In, Into, up

then and there to maliciously and felo

"That !b n little different oITense from
tho one charged In the other two
counts. If you returned a general ver
dict of guilty In manner and form ns
charged In tho Indictment, that would
cover all that Is charged In It.
"If you should make a special finding
It seems to me your special finding
should ho confined to the first nnd
second counts only, leaving your gen
eral finding to stand as to the third
count If you so desire. So under these
circumstances I would advise that you
limit your special finding as to tho
first and second counts, In this way
making' a return of n general verdict
and then a special finding. And as to
tho charge of felonious arson, con
tained In tho first and second counts
In tho Indictment, we And ns follows:
That presents the matter In a Ilttlo t
different fotm than what I said to you
a few moments ago. I do not want to
Impose too much upon you, but simply
guide you.
This Is all for the puipose of more
fully protecting the rights of the de
fendant, but the whole thing Is within
your control and must be your own
adoption. You may take the sugges
tions of the court, but the verdict as
lendcied must be your own."
Foiemnn Allen addressed the court,
and said:
"Well, your honor, It seems to be the
opinion of the Jurymen that this man
Is guilty, or was the cause of that lire,
and the Juiy do not think It would be
Just to allow this thing- to be thrown
out on a little technicality, and we
want to lender a verdict which Is on
tlrely ptoper. We don't know Just how
to do It."
Judge Arcbbald "Well, in making
theo suggestions I do not want to
Impose anything upon you at all. If It
fseems best to you that you should te
tutn just a general verdict of guilty
or not guilty, and you think that Is the
simplest wav to dispose of It and the
best way, why that would be entirely
satisfactory to the court "
At 2 SO the Jury letumed and handed
up the following.
' We find the defendant guilty In
manner and f 01 111 as charged In the
fit st nnd second counts of the Indict
ment and not guilty as chaiged In the
thlid count."
They Indicated that they did not
want to have anything to do with the
special finding. If Olehefskl escaped
on a technicality It would be no fault
of thelis
At tho lequi'st of Mr. Sciagg, of coun
sel for the defense, the Juiy was polled
and all acquiesced In the verdict The
Juiois wete then discharged with the
thanks of the couit.
SENTENCES IMPOSED.
liogurt lliirglnrs W III Co In the Peni
tentiary lor Long Terms.
Judge Ounster on Saturday sentenced
Fiank niler mid James T. Rellly, the
Hogait bin glats, Hlxler lecelvlng slv
yeais and three months and Hellly
tluee yeai.s and thiee months in the
l'astein penitentiary. Leniency was
shown Iteilly because of his youth.
In the case of Hairy McL.iln und
Charles Haendlges, the boys who plead
guilt of robbing seveial central city
stoics, Judge Edwni'Js announced that
sentence would be p'dstponed until the
next teim of court, pending imestl
gatlons which me being made The
frame action was taken In the case of
the shopllftets.
Frank Sniffer, who confessed to petty
forgeries, was called up and after a
lecture was allowed to go, court an
nouncing that sentence was suspended.
AVhen Mis. Kmma Stephens was
called up to be sentenced for the costs
placed upon her In the case In which
she was piosecuted for keeping a dls
leputable house. Judge Ounster said
he was sui prised that she had not been
convicted, ns the evidence cleat ly war
1 anted It. The Jui, he said, doubtless
ly took a merciful view of the case and
she should profit by It.
The Juiy In the case of Cornelius
Ituddy, chaiged by Pattlck Kelllher
with felonious attempt to kill, leturned
a verdict of not guilty.

SCRANTON MAN SAW
THE VEENDAM RESCUE
President Zebndcr, ol the Dtckton Com
pany, an EyoWltness.
WAS ON THE STEAMER ST. LOUIS
IIo llns Words of f.rant Pralso tor tho
Ofllcers ol tho Two Oconu Liners
Who Superintended tho llcscuo ol
212 .Souls Without nn Accident.
(J Ives n New Version of the Cnuso
of tho Disaster.
President C. H. Zelmder, of the Dick
son Manufacturing compnny, who
reached Scranton Saturday evening
from Europe, was a passenger on board
the American line steamer St. Louis
and witnessed the thrilling lesctie of
212 passengers nnd crew from the
steamship Veendnm, of the Holland
American line. He and Mrs. Zehnder
wcie on their return home from a trip
which began Immediately after the hol
idays. At the Hotel Jermyn last night
Mr. Zehnder readily consented to be in
terviewed by a Tribune reporter In ref
erence to the rescue.
"People can say whut they will nbout
discipline, milltaiy and of other klniH
but let me testify right here that no
discipline can be 11101 e perfect and ab
solute thin that which I have Just
observed on tho St. Louis and among
the heiolc Holland officers of the Veen
dam From what I saw personally on
the former vessel and from what I
heard almost fiist-hand concerning" the
Veendam's crew, I shall always have
the Rreatest admiration for the men
who h'old In their hands the lives of
thousands of helpless souls crosslm? the
Atlantic. Nobody could hear fiist-hand
the story of thenccldenttothe Veendum
nnd of the subsequent Incidents uboard
her and see the final rescue of her
human fielght and not lxiw beforo the
Kreat ability, bravery and strength of
diameter possessed by those In com
mand of the big ocean liners.
CAUSH OF DISASTER
"The New l'oik ii"wspapeis and the
dispatches do not give the cause of the
accident a.s we understood It aboard
ship. It Is published that the Veen
dnm ran Into a sunken wreck. That Is
untrue accoidlng- to statements made
by the officers. We were told Capt.
O. Stengei, of the Veendam, said It
that about G o'clock In the afternoon
the propeller Hew off and the non-resistance
to the engines caused them to
'run away.' Something had to break.
It was the connections between the
cranks and the huge shaft. Befoie the
engines could "be stopped the whirling
steel pounded holes In the ship's bottom
as easily as though It had been made
of egg-shell. CTjf course, toi rents of wat
er poured Into the bollets and put the
Hies uut What followed Illustrates the
llttei helplessness of a shipload at sea.
"Of the 21- passengers all weie steer
age but foui. OHlceis weie put In the
tteeutgo to keep tho passengeis theie
from becoming panlc-stilcken. They
veie given absolutely no paiticulars of
th'e accident nor weie they allowed to
go to bed. As soon as It became ap
parent that the 01 ew was Insufficient
to work the pumps the male steerage
passengers were pressed Into service.
A sea anchor made of a huge spread
ot canvas was diopped and kept the
vessel's nose against the waves and
made her ride easier.
"Captain Stenger calculated fiom
the Use of water In the hold that he
could postpone for tweHe houis n de
Bel tlon of the ship. There were not
enough boats to accommodate the pas
sengers and all the crew, so lots weie
diawn to determine those of the crew
who should man and command the
boats and leave with the passengers In
case help did not an He. Those who
remained weie to take chances on es
caping on lafts and with llfe-preserv-01
s. The water was gaining so fast
thut a sulllelent number of seamen
could barely be spared to prepare the
boats with provisions and Instruments.
WERE ON THE WATCH.
"They were on the watch for the St.
Louis, which was sighted about I
o'clock Monday morning. Rockets had
been fired at Intervals since daikness
began and cannon shots were added
to the signals of dlstiess when tho
lights of the St Ijmls were seen. Cap
tain William G. Handle was In com
mand of the American liner, which
was stopped about a mile abreast ot
the Veendam and was kept steady by
o .sea anchor of the same type as was
used bv the cilppled boat.
"Soon a boat fiom the Veendam ap
peared at the side of the St. Louis. It
contained Captain Stenger, who told
Cnptaln Randle of the accident. They
eonfert ed a moment as to the means
of rescue nnd Captain Stenger was
rowed back to his ship, followed by the
boats of the St. Louis, each manned
by ten oarsmen nnd an officer, who
was steeisman.
'The fit st being swung over the rail
of the Veendam Into a St. Louis boat
was a 6-months-old baby. When the
boat contained sixteen babies and chil
dren nnd three women It wns lowed to
the St. Louis. The remaining boat
loads each contained sixteen adults.
All the passengers were Hist tians
feired Captain Stenger and tho ship's
surgeon were the lost to leave -the
w reck
"Captain Stenger's final act was to
set fire to the ship, as the drifting hulk
would have been a menace In those
waters. Only a little over three houis
wasi lequlred to transfer all the pas
sengeis. We lost Just four hours from
tlfe time the St. Louis stopped until
Phe started awny. In that time we
drifted to over two miles away from
the Veendam. Her stern had settled
peiceptibly and the bow wa.s almost
out of the water. The St. Louis started
quickly away after Captain Stengei
got aboard. It was quite a while be
fore the flames buist fiom the Veen
dam's hatches and compantonwuys,
but the light In tho sky could be seen
until after daylight.
HEAVY SWELL RUNNINO.
"One lemai liable featuie of the In
cident was that not even the most
trivial kind of nn accident happened
during the rescue. The sea was not
broken, but a very heavy swell was
running and the boats 10.se and fell
many feet and pointed their noses In
all directions while In transit between
tho two steamers nnd at the Bteamers'
Bides. One man while being lowered
over the Veendam's rail had the lower
part of hla legs wet by a heavy swell,
but that Is the only cose of wetting I
know of."
Mr,, Zehnder made the European trip
for needed relaxation from business.
He left heie on the Normanla of the
Hamburg-American lino and visited
Gibraltar, Italy, Austria, aermany,
Switzerland, Franco and England. In
Germany he found more evidences of
commercial thrift than In nny other
country ho visited.
At Diesden, Mi. Zehnder met Judge
A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION
Tor the Cum ofl'lloB,
Is not only Intensely painful, danger
ous to llfo nnd very expensive, but In
the light of moelcrn medical research
and since tho discovery of tho Pyra
mid Pile Curo a surgical operation Is
wholly unnecessary. If you liavo nny
doubt on the point kindly rend tho fol
lowing letters from people who know
that, our claims regarding tho merits
of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out
by tho fncts.
From N. A. Stnll, nidge Hoad, Niag
ara Co., N. Y.: I received your Pyra
mid Pile Cure and tested It last night.
It did me more good than anything I
have ever found yet, nnd remember
this was the result of one night's treat
ment only.
From Pcnn W. Arnett, Bntesvllle,
Ark.: Gentlemen: Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me so much good In so
short a time that my son-in-law, Capt.
T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark., hni
written me for your address, as ho
wishes to try It nlso.
From A. n. Townsend, Benvllte, Ind.:
I have been so much benefited by tho
Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose $1 for
which please send a package which I
wish to give to a friend of mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John II. Wright, Clinton, De
Witt Co., Ills.: I am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I
think It but right to drop you a few
lines to Inform you Us effects have
been all that I could ask or wish.
From P. A. Uruton, Llano, Tex.:
Gentlemen: The 'Pyramid Pile Cure
has done so much good for me that I
will say for the benefit of others that
after using only two dnys I am better
than I have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared
by The Pyramid Drup Co. of Marshall,
Mich., and It Is truly a wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So Brent has
been the number of testimonial letters
lecelved by them from all parts of the
country that they have decided to pub
lish each week a number of such let
ters. All druggists lecommend the Pyia
mld Pile Cure, as they know from whnt
their customers say that no remedy
gives such general satisfaction
Alfred Hand and family, of this city.
They have engaged passage for home
and will be heie In May. Judge Hand
has been greatly benefited by his long
stay In Europe, Mr. Zehnder says, and
Is In perfect health, as are the other
membeis of his family.
It Is better to take Hood's Sarsa
parilla than to experiment with un
known and untried preparations. We
know Hood's Sarsaparllla actually and
permanently cures.
Hood's Pills act easily and prompt
ly on the liver and bowels. Cure sick
headache.
