Tft POl $3.00 KV ffFAtfml So KENNY TELLS OF HEALEY'S KILLING WAS BEINO CHOKED TO DEATH WHEN HE .STRUCK BLOWS. Ho Attempts to Refute County Do tectlvo Leyshon's Testimony That His Itcturn nnd Surrondor Wore Induced by the Fact That Ho Learned of the Officers Being In Pursuit of Him nnd That Capture Wns Inevitable Did Not Draw a Knife on Henley. All tlio testimony In the Kenny mur der trlnl wns hi at ndjourntng tltno yestenlny and tlio raso will probably go to the Jury this afternoon. Assistant District Attorney Thomas stated nt the close of the day that ho would press for a first ileRreo verdict, presenting the theory that Kenny nursed his wrath until he encountered Henley on the dark and lonesome grav ity track and there with no one to hear u'ltnnuii In llifi itned nrneepdrwl to PMrrV rillt n Hirnnl ha hnrl l-imtle in Plirrnn'3 I ""- v - ;- , . ' . Miinou in cm iieaiey h ncuri oui. Mr. Murphy, who will close for the iiofetiHe, will confine himself almost solely to an exposition of the theory of self defense: dwelling particularly upon lleuley's repeated assaults, un provoked and unresented by Kenny, the retreat of Kenny nnd his most re markable self-restraint, which kept him from making a return of the at tneks until he was forced In order to preserve his own life to strike back. In only one particular has there been a direct conflict of testimony nnd this contradiction developed from the evi dence presented by County Dstoctio Lcyshon through himself ntul wltness s whom he secured on the question of llight. Mil. LEYSHON'S TESTIMONY. Mr. Leyshon gave testimony tending to show that Kenny's return and sur render was not wholly voluntary but rather that he only enme back when he learned that ofllcers had bo.n to his father-in-law's house In Trumansburj looking for him and that his capture wns inevitable. One of Mr. Leyshon's statements was to the effect that Con stable McIIale, of Archbald, came to him and said he had received a letter from Kenny bidding him ask the coun ty detective If he would bo easy on liliu if ho gave himself up. To this Mr. Leyshon told McIIale to reply that ho would make no promises of what he would do. Michael Craig, now a resident of Pittston avenue, next testified that he met Kenny the night of the killing, ns the latter wis taking the car at Arch bald, nnd that Kenny told him he had stabbed Henley nnd was going elown to Prlceburg to lay low until the trouble blew over. Mrs. Erldget Murphy swore that she wns with Kenny's sisters when Kenny enme along nfter having committed tho deed and that he told them he had stabbed Healey and was going to flee. Kenny, upon taking tho stand, in the afternoon denied having seen Craig or Miss Murphy and was corroborated in this latter regard by his sisters, nnd in relation to his return ho positively stated that he had no communication whatever with McUnlc or Leyshon and that as far ns ho knew no ofllcers had been looking for him at his father-in-law's house. In refuting a statement of the count detective that he had re turned by the Ontario and Western on a pass sent him by Mr. Leyshon. Kenny stated that ho came back via the Lehigh Valley and Delaware and Hudson roads and gavo minute details of his trip. KENNY'S STORY. Kenny's story of the affair In the sa loon and the incidents up to the time he started up the track after the assault on the crossslng did not differ ma terially from the story ot the common wealth's witnesses. As to his drawing a knife In Curran'b saloon and malting a threat against Healey he was not clear. He might nave had his knife in his hand but he did not use it in any threatening manner. When he started up the track, after the asssault at the ciotslng, he was nut aware that Heuly was following him, believing that Fltzpatrlck had suc ceeded In pacifying him. He- had pro ceeded about two hundred feet, walk ing briskly, when he felt a hand grab hH collar from bthlnd and the next Instant he was thrown heavily to the ground. He fell with his had; across tho e-nsterly rail, his head striking outside the track. Healey was upon him in a twinkling and clutched him about the throat wltb one hand, while with the other he Inflicted upon him mean and btutal punishment. Now, I've got you, You said Dealey tightening his grip mid thumping Kenny's head against tho ground. Kenny felt himself suffocnt Inglng. and fearing he would be choked to death and suffering awful agony from the punishment Hiiley was in llictlng lie drew Ids knife from his trousers pocket with ills left hand, opened the blade with his right nnd Jabbed nt Henley's hamls to make lilm release his hold. CRAWLED TO HIS FEET. Henley got up and Kenny crawled to his feet mid started off. Healey cniled after him, "If I'm cut, you won't slep tonight." Kenny fearing to stay In his own house, in consequence of Henley's threat, left, nfter changing his clothes, nnd came to Scranton, leuvlng word for his wife to join him In this city Monday, when they would proceed to Trumansburg. as they had previously arranged. He stayi'd at the home of his aunt. Mis. John Uurrie, on the Dia mond flats, over Sunday and on Mon day, In company with his wife, went to Trumansburg on the d a, m. Dela ware, Lackawanna anil Western train. The first he heard of Henley's death wns through a letter from his parents, received two days after Healey died. He had no money, but as soon as his father sent hlin V in response to his request, he came on to Archbald nnd gave himself up to 'Scpilro filldea. The 'squire turned lilm over to Constable McIIale, who took him to tho county Th Pall Dr. J. C. Aycr's Pills will prevent and cure biliousness. "For years I have thoroughly tested AVer's Pills, both as a preventive and cure for bilioutnest. They are the best medicine for the purpose and do all that Is claimed for tnem." J. li, KOL.U, Shark, A; k. ai m b Jail the next day, nllowlng him to re mnin In his fnther's house over night nnd meeting him nt nn appointed place in the murnlng. Kenny told his slory In n, straight forward mnnner, exhibiting little feel ing of any kind, excepting possibly nn anxiety to dwell forcibly upon such parts of It as cut Hcaley In n bad light. If ho wns conscious of nny guilt he did not exhibit It by his actions. The cross-examination failed to shako his statement In the least. The other witnesses examined yes terday for the commonwealth were Mrs. Henley, the widow, who gave Im portant testimony regarding her hus band's condition when ho was brought home, On cross-examination It was endeavored to bring out nn ndmlssloti that the witness had told a brother of the defendant that her husband, on his dying bod, told her Kenny was not to blame and should not be prosecuted, but she denied ever having made such u stntement. William Sterrlck, for the defense, told of Kenny meeting him In Curran's to sell him his set of miner's tools. Ho saw nothing of tho trouble, however. Anthony McDonald, for whom Kenny labored, was called to show that Kenny had thrown up his Job two davs be fore the killing, with tho Intention of going to New York stnte, but tho tes timony would not be admitted. The opening for the- defense wns mndo by Mr. Conry and was an elo quent nnd doubtlessly effective eltort. MINOR COURT CASES. They Were Heard Before Judges McClure nnd Gunster. Judge McClure, sitting In court room No. 2. yesterday morning heard two assault and battery cases from Green field. George Hivenberg was. defendant In the first case and was charged with hnvlng struck Joseph Shock, the prose cutor, with a stone on the Sth of June last. Tho defendant did not deny tho charge, but stated that ho knew noth ing about it until ho wakened the next morning and found he was consider ably bruised. He stated that he was subject to epileptic fits and thought he had had one nbout that time. The jury didn't seem to think that n man In an eplteptlc fit would throw stones and " " returned a. verdict of guilty The court sentenced the defendant to 510 fine and costs of prosecution. The line was afterwords remitted by the court. In the other case Lewis E. White was defendant nnd was charged with hav ing struck and knocked down his mother-in-law, Mrs. E. F. Taylor, on the night of July 10. The dlfllculty in this case grew out of a dispute con cerning the defendant's eight-year-old boy, who was in the custody of Mrs. Taylor. The defendant nsscrted that he was nttneked by his mother-in-law, who scratched his face, and that he simply shoved her away. The verdict was not guilty, tho costs being equally divided between the prosecutrix and defendant. SHAFEIl TRIED. Adolph Shafer was then tried on a charge of felonious wounding, the prosecutor being John Hall, a bar tender at 'FUIler's hotel in Providence. Hall testified that, on the evening of Feb. 10 last tho defendant and several others came into the saloon and began shaking dice with him. The defendant became angry and Hnll ordered lilm out, und on his refusal to go said, "I will put you out," nnd picked up a club from the back bar nnd started to wnrds the defendant, who pulled a re volver and shot Hall in the side. Sev eral witnesses corroborated Hall's ver sion of the affair and testified ns to the dlfllculty with which the revolver wns taken from Shafer nnd his arrest ef fected. Tt was also testified Hint the revolver wns aimed directly nt Hall, who avoid ed a fatal wound by stepping aside. The commonwealth put in evidence Hull's shirts and vest, showing bullet holes on the right side. The defense was that the defendant was unable to get away, was In fear of his life and shot in self-defense when Hall was but nine feet from lilm, rushing towards him with an upraised club. The Jury in the case of Thomas C. Williams, charged by Chief of Police McAndrew with keeping a disorderly house, returned a verdict acquitting Williams and dividing the costs be tween the prosecutor nnd defendant. Judge Gunster promptly, and with evi dences of Indignation, set aside that portion of the verdict placing half the costs on Chief McAndrew. William Burke was returned not guilty of larceny by bailee of a milk can claimed by Spencer Martin. The costs were placed on the county. A nol pros on payment of costs was charged with having passed a forged check on M. J, Norton. BOTH ABSENT. Both prosecutor and defendant hav ing absented themselves for two suc cessive terms. District Attorney Jones advised that the case of Mary Hayes, of the South Side, charged by Cather ine Collins with keeping a tippling house, be quashed. Court agreed to this and it wns stricken from the list. A verdict of not guilty was directed, by advice of District Attorney Jones, In the case in which A. W. Brundage, of Peckvllle, was charged with main taining n nuisance In not conducting his slaughter house as it should be, the nuisance having been abated. William Williams, the boy accused of having been an accomplice of young Harvey In the robbery of Foster's store, on Hampton street, was acquitted. Hnrvev swore positively that Williams wns with him when the theft wns com- mlttcd, but the Williams boy sworo with emial posltlveness that this was . .!... ... l.j. l.! n ..&!!..

NOT NECESSARY TO STAMP THEM ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGS HAS REVERSED Mil. SCOTT. Excess Baggngo Checks nnd Rebate Faro Checks Do Not Come Under tho Provisions of the Wnr Rovenua Bill Some of tho dlher Recent Decisions Bearing Upon Disputed Points of tho Bill Wnr Revenue Stamp Cannot Be Used Twice Under Any Circumstances. An opinion by Attorney General Griggs states that excess baggage checks nnd rebate faro checks are not subject tn the provisions of the war revenue bill nnd will not bo stamped. Many railroad companies discontinued the use of these checks nfter It was stated by tho revenue nuthorltles thnt It wns necessary to put n stamp on them, Sometime ngo N. H. Scott: commis sioner of Intcrnnl revenue, gave deci sions thnt excess buggago checks and rebate fnre checks Issued by railway companies required a stamp according to tlio provisions of tho war revenue bill. In a batch of decisions Just re ceived by Revenue Collector Penmnn it Is stated that tho United States nt torney general has reversed the rev enue commissioner and holds that It Is not necessary to put a stamp on these checks. The attorney general's opinion is thnt the law which makes It the duty of the carrier to issue a bill of lading or a receipt to a person from whom any goods nro nccepted for transportation und to stamp the same docs not apply to baggage received by railway com panies nnd carried upon the same train with the owner, whether such baggage be the quantity nllowed ordlnnrlly by the rules of the railway company or is In excess of such amount. REBATE CHECKS. The ruling that rebate checks issued by the conductors being the excess on fures collected on trains, which nre re deemable by the company's agent on presentntlon, are liable to tax stamp has been revoked In view of tho opinion of the attorney general. Taxes which have been paid erroneously, ac.-rding to this decision can be refunded upon proper nppllcntlon having been mndo therefore. Some of tho other recent decisions with reference to the i.ar tax nro: Merry-go-rounds Not an exhibition or show within the meant ig of the law and not subject lo tax Social clubs Sucn soo'al cl.ibs as fur nish llquo'' to their mopiber.i under conditions cons'itutlng n sale are r qulred to pay special tnx.
