ARRESTS MADE IN CORCORAN MURDER CASE Three Monaghans Are in Jail at Wilkes- Barre. AN ALLEGED CONFESSION "Iko" Soidman, of This City, a D., L. & W. Detective, Claims to Havo Secured from David Williams, of Dttryea, a Verbal Story of the Mur der, in Which Mary Monaghan, Her Two Brothers, Williams nnd Two Men Named Langan and Clark, Took Part - Only the Mona ghans Were Arrested Luzerno County's District Attorney Says Ho Would Not Ask for a Convic tion on an Uncorroborated Stato lnent. Mary Munnghan and her brothers, Tom nml John, have been arrested for the murder of Michael Corcoran, the Duryen hotelkecptr., They were ar rested Saturday afternoon on warrants U'sned by Alderman Donahue, of Ilkes-Darrc. After a preliminary hearing In the .evening before that nlllcliil they wero committed without ball to await n further hearing Wed nesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Tho arrests were made on tho strength of .statiments which Herman ("Ike") Sfiflniim, a Delaware, Lacka wunnnn and Western detective, of this city, alleges were made to lilm by Da vid Williams, of Duryea. Williams' standing In Duryea Is not the highest. According to his alleged story he was unwittingly drawn into a participation, in the crime, but did not profit by It. District Attorney Thomas U. Martin, of Luzerne county, was opposed to having the arrests made. In an nu thoilzo'l Interview he said lie would not nsk for rt" conviction of the pris oners on the strength of Williams' al leged unwritten and uncorroborated confession. The claim Is made that the arrests were hastened by an article published Saturday morning in the WIlke-s-Barro New-Dealer. Its contents were Inde finite, but were prominently displayed and based upon tho information re vealed by Alderman Donahue. JOHN MONAGHAN TALKS. John Monaghan wns interviewed bv a Tribune man In the Luzerne county Jail last night. Ho said- "I know no more about this than you do. I was (hunk und so was Tom the night Cor coran was killed. I wns too drunk to do such work If I had wanted to. I had been drinking, nnd among other places, was In Corcoran's. I had to bo helped home. I was dead drunk, dead to the world, you know, nnd couldn't lift a hand If I trltd. Tom was about as drunk as I was and enme home about the same tlmu I did. "Now about Williams' story: I don't believe he made any such statement. He may have talked everybody has been talking about this thing but I'll bet ho never snld what the papers say he did. He may have gossiped about us, but he never said wo did It." Mary Monaghan and h'.r other brother, Tom, refused to be inter viewed. Detective Seidman's duties with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company hardly entitle him to the title he bears. He Is a young man and up to a short time ago wns a Scranton cabman. Hid stand used to be any where along the south side of the block on Lackawanna avenue between IVnn avenue and the Delaware, Lackawan na mid Western depot. His employ ment by the company has conslstcj mainly in preventing train-Jumping on the Dloomsburg division trains and 'or reting out petty depredations along that linn of road. His work took him frequently to Duryea and Its vicinity. DETECTIVE MET WILLIAMS. Seldman met WlllIaniH in a casual way at a cnsing near the Duryea station. According to the formers story he blundered upon Williams' ap parent knowledge of the murder und took advantage of It. Seldman says he icmarked to Williams: "I'd like to Know as much as you do about tho Corcotan murder," and that Williams admitted, with apparent confusion, that he knew tho murdereiH und thut they were still In Duryea. It is related by Seldman that Wil liams said he feared the "Willie" gang, of which he was a member, und tho Monughans would kill him If he told what ho knew. Seldman, by promis ing him all possible protection and fa vor, then secured AVIlllams' verbal story. In sulwtance Williams said he was standing In front of Corcoran's hotel about 1 o'clock of the night of the murder when Tom Monaghan and two men named Langan and Clurk up- Reduced Coursen's Sugar Peas, now 12c, $1.40 per dozen. Brakley Sifted Early June Peas, 10c can, 90c dozen. Leggett's Garden Sifted Peas, 15c can, $1.50 per dozen. Sugar Corn 10c, per dozen. Sweet Clover Corn can, $1.25 per dozen. Fancy Tomatoes can $1.00 per dozen. 90c 12c 10c E. G. COUftSEN. proached him. They said Corcoran had u lit and asked him to help them. AVIlllams consented. They woro ad mitted through a roar door of tho hotel by Mary Motuighnn, tho housekeeper. She said that Corcoran was "fixed" (chloroformed). They found Corcoran lying in bed apparently asleep. Tom Mnmighan Flint the defenceless mnn, despite the protests of his sister. Monaghan, I'lnrk and Langan then opened the safe nnd took out J1.&00 or $2,200. Williams sayH he refused to take the share of fered him. HOl'ND THE UODV. A clothesline wn procured from the back yard by Tom Monaghnu, nnd with It the lifeless body was bound as a blind. Miss Monaghnu wns bound nlno, but so loosely tnat she woulu bo able to release herself and give the alarm. Marks and dents wero then made on the door to make it appear that it hud been burst open. Wllllnms says llie handkerchief masks anil torch story was also agreed upon for Miss Mona ghan to relate. On the foregoing confession, from which some minor details are missing here, warrants for the arrests were Is sued. Seldman filed tho Information. Sergennts Kline nnd Davis, of Wilkes Harre; iChlef D.avles, of Dorrancetonj Detective Seldmun, County Detective Johnson, of Wllkcs-Rnrrc, and several policemen of tho latter city arrested the Monaghnns at 6 o clock Saturday afternoon at their mother's home In Duryea. The brothers were handcuffed to gether, Miss Monaghan was closely gtmrdel and the party went Immedi ately to Wilkes-Uarrc, where tho hear ing was held nt 8 o'clock In Alderman Donahue's1 olllce. The proceedings were only formal. Chief Davles, of Dor- ranceton, testified that the murder had been committed anil that ho had seen the body. Attorney Solsberg, of thol district attorney's olllce, then asked for the contlnunnce to Wednesday and his request was granted. Rail was refused. Attorney James Murray, of Wllkes Unrrc, represented the accused and Attorney W. H. Gillespie, representing the Corcoran estate, was present In Its interests. After being removed to the Jail Miss Monnghan became hysterical. She Is credited with exclaiming: "If poor Mike (Corcoran) was here, I wouldn't be arrested." It was with difficulty that she was calmed. Her brothers were more stoical. They refused to converse with anyone but their at torney. Langan and Clark, the two alleged accomplices according to the state ment credited to WllJJims had not been arrested yesterday. They arc still In Duryea. Nothing wns known of the where abouts of Detective Seldman or Wlll lnms at the time of the hearing. It was given out that the detective had gone to look nfter Williams and to keep him In charge until his testi mony, or, enough of It to hold the pris oners, wan wanted. Another explana tion was that Seldman was to make an effort to have Williams repeat his con fession In the presence of a third party. Williams was reported as being In Duryea yesterday. As late as yester day afternoon he had given no written confession to Seldman or anyone else. To Liveryman Dills, of Duryea, Will iams yesterday denied having made a confession. He said he had made no statement to anyone that he had none to make and proposed to engage an attorney and sue for libel the papers which had associated him with the case. WILLIAMS' HISTORY. Williams Is known as "Di" Williams and has been in many a scrape. Al though considered a member of the "Willie" gniirf of disreputables, he has escaped actual connection with any of their offenses so far as known. Last summer during a carousal among mem bers of the gang and others In John Vrban's saloon, AVIlllams was stabbed In the back by a Polander. The in cident illustrates the kind of a life he led. District Attorney Martin, of Luzerne county, has said for publication: "I will not express any doubt as to the guilt of the Monaghuns. The people who caused their arrest were on the right track, but showed a pitiful lack of common sense in causing such pre mature arrests. "There should certainly be evidence i In corroboration of the story of told by AVIlllams. Without such corrobora tion this man's unwritten and unsigned story Is not fcufflclent to convict. I will go further and say that on his uusuppotted testimony alone I would not nsk for conviction. "Despite this general expression of my views In : elation to tho premature arrests of tho Monaghans and the mis take of receiving from AVIlllams an unwritten confession and one unsup porteddespite all this, an acquittal of the prisoners would be In the nature of a calamity. " I deplore the arrests not alone be cause they are hasty and Ill-advised, but because there was not a scintilla of reason for It at this time. The Monaghans wero not disposed to run away, nor could they have done no If they had been so Inclined. C'ipable detectives were at work on the case. They had well In hand every detail ne cessary to fit more than one story, nnd If this deplorable Interruption had not developed, I I'on't think there would exist any doubt as to the con viction of the proper parties." AVENT TO NEW YORK. A phase of the case that has aroused the curiosity of persons Intimately ac quainted with Its details, was the hur ried trip to New York city Frlcluy af ternoon of Dolph Olennon, of l'ittston, nnd Justice Ollboy, of Durycu. Mr. Olennon Is ono of the rich brewing firm of Hughes & Glennon and was In timately associated politically with Corcoran. The brewer was an ndvlsor of the murdered man In n business way. Justice of tho Peace Ollboy was prob. ably the closest friend thut Corcoran hud. Their attachment was almost brotherly In its nature. The former is u man ut excellent standing In Dur yea. Roth Mr. Olennon and Justice Ollboy had much to do with Interesting Ser geant Reap, of the New York detec tive bureau, in the work of ferreting out the Identity of the murderers. Their trip to New York city was evi dently for the purpose of consulting Detective Reap. Up to a luto hour last night It could not be learned that they had returned. Stenm Heating and Plumbing. P.

Chairman Chittenden has hart much dllflculty In getting men to act ns re turning Judges. There Is no provision for paying them for their services und not a few members of existing vigi lance committees refuse to servo with out pay. One Haw hns already been discov ered that will provo fatal to tho new rules If not amended. AVhen they were drafted the Intention was to provide for the Issue of specimen ballots ns well lis olllclal, that candidates might havo un opportunity of Instructing voters as to the proper manner of marking balloty. Through some oversight the rules rend that cundldtttes by applying fif teen days before the primaries can have ns many "olllclal" ballots as they desire at the cost of printing. Some of tho candidates were thoughtful enough to see the advantage this would be to them nnd made a demand for tho ballots. Chairman Chittenden was amazed when his attention wuw called to the wording of the rule, but he had no alternative but give an order for the ballots. Other candidates heard of this and made their demands, but they were not filed fifteen days before the pri maries and Mr. Chittenden refused to give the orders asked for. An effort will probably be made at an early day to have the rules amended by sub stituting the word "specimen" for "olllclal." DEMOCRATIC CITY CONVENTION Monday, January 23, Has Been Sel ected as tho Time to Hold It. At Saturday night's meeting of the Democratic city commltee in the St. Charles hotel It was decided to hold the primaries on Jan. 21 und the con vention on Monday, Jan. 23, at 10 a. in. City Chairman D. J. Campbell called the meeting to order and Attorney John J. Murphy was secretary. They were appointed a committee to secure a suitable place for holding the con vention. There hns been no great rush thus far of candidates for tho Democratic nominations. John 12. Roche, 13. J. Robinson, T. J. Jennings, I. J. Nenlls and C. H. Schadt arc mentioned for mayor. Messrs. Robinson and Schndt have not expressed a desire to receive tho mayoralty nomination, but the oth er three have. Messrs. Robinson and Schndt are also spoken of In connec tion with the city treasurershlp and so are S. S. Spruks and A. F. Du'fy. No one has yet even whispered that they want thr city controller nomina tion. Colonel Herman Osthaus, Attor ne AV. A. AA'llcox, Attorney C. Com egys and Attorney T. P.
