VOSBURG STILL IN IT.
Contemplates Asserting a Claim to
tho Solicitorshlp on the Strength
of Thursday's Balloting
for the OfUce.
It is not improbable that Attorney
A, A. Vosburg will present his bond
as city solicitor to councils lomortow
night. Hi is of the opinion that ho
was elected on Thut.sday night when
ho received twentv-one votes anil Is
disposed to go before councils and, If
necessary, Into couit, to verify his be
lief. Me claimed then and still claims that
there was not at that time a "member"
elect from tho Twenty-first waul anil,
buch being tho case, twenty-one votes
would bo a majority. Mr. Norton
was elected and took the oath of office
before a notary, but in tho full mean
ing of the. law, as Mr. Vosburg lews
It, he had not taken his seat and con
sequently was not a member of coun
cils. Mr. Vosburg stated yesterday that
he bad consulted upwards of twenty
lawyeis on this question and there was
not one of them that did not concur
In his opinion. He would not say
positively jesteidu) that ho would
move to substantiate his claim, but
thought It very likely that he would.

LAST HOPE OF VAN
HORN HAS FLOWN
WILL BE HANGED ONE WEEK
FROM THURSDAY.
Board of Pardons at Its Mooting In
Hnirisburg Yesterday Refused to
Interfere In Behalf of tho Con
demned Man It Seems as if
Nothing Could Now Savo 31m
from Death on the Scaffold Dis
trict Attorney Jones' Strong Argu
ment to tho Board.
George K. Van Horn will bo hanged
In tho county Jail In this city on
Thursday, May 1.
Tho board of pardons yesterday ut
HnrrHiurg considered his case and re
fused to Interfere. This removes prac
tically tho last hope of the tondemned
man.
Attorney II. W. Thnycr appeared be
fore tho board yestjrday in behalf of
Van Horn. Distilct Attorney Jones
was unable to go becnuse engaged In
criminal court, but he prepared a
strong argument against commutation
of tho sentence by the board mid sub
mitted It In lieu of n spoken nrgumont.
The argument is calculated to make a
deep Impression upon any person who
reads it cnrefully. Following Is the
argument In part.
This paper book Is addressed to your
honots in opposition to the commutation
of tho stutenco of death Imposed upon
(Jeorgo K. A'nti Horn, by tho touit of
ojor und terminer of Lnckuwunna comi
tj, for tho murder of Josephine Wescott,
at Scranton, l'ennsj tvanl.i, on August 2,
1!9G. Over two lears and a half luue
passed and yet this case Is still pending.
Tho learned counsel lcr tho defendant
hno taken ndtantugc of ccry dtlay pos
sible In a case of this character post
ponement of tho trial rule foi u new ttlal
appeal to tho Supreme coutt an at
ttmptfd appeal to tho Supreme coutt of
tho I'nlted States their present appli
cation beforo this board for tho com
mutation of tho dcatli sentence to Impris
onment for life: and yet they must hao
realized ull along that they had a hope
less case. This was one of the most bar
barous, dcllberato and premeditated mur
ders ever tommltted In this common
wealth. Tho larguago employed by tho
Supreme court In alllrmlng tho Judgment
of tho lower court forcibly expi esses the
atioeity of this crime. It Is as follows.
"No one can read tho testimony in this
ease without being convinced that the or
fense committed was a most cruel, bar
barous und cold-blooded murder, with
every element oi deliberation and pro
mt dltatlon fully established by abund
ant testimony."
NOT SURPRISING.
When ono reads tho evidence In this
caso, it is not surprising that tho de
fendant's counsel hae nut with defeat
ut every step taken in tho defense of this
ciuel murderer.
The power to paidon l,s a constitu
tional power; to ulleviate or remit pun
ishment whero perhaps tlicru is a doubt
of guilt; or whero tho offenso was com
mitted under circumstances extenuating
tho crime. It is un act of gtaco or mercy.
But what is there about this cuso that
calls for grace or merc ? Nothing what
ever, 'fheie is nothing connected with
this caso that appeals to tho nicmbei-s
of this board to extend mercy to this
cruel murderer. He deserves tho full
penalty of tho liw, If ever a murderer
dc-ened It In Pennsylvania. Theio is
not one circumstance connected with this
caso that mitigates his crime Tills board
does not "dt as an appellate court It is
not constituted for the put pose of lor
teetlng eirnrs In the trial l a eaus-;
that function belongs to the Supreme
court
The onlj question in this ease, as well
as in ull other cases which com" befuio
this board, is. Do tho cases piesent tex
tures which uppeal to and are proper for
executive clemency" Thcic is eeitulnly
nothing about tho Van Horn case that ap
peals to executive clemency. It is eei
tulnly not a proper case for executive In
terference Sildom, ludei d does tho
Supremo court Use such denunciatory
language in the review of a murder cuso
as Mr. Justice Gieen used In chaiucter
Izlng tho crime of this defendant It w is
probably the most etuel and dellberito
murder that has come to the attention
ot the Supicme court In nnnv jears
The only reason or ground upon which
this application Is based, according to
the notice served upon the lrl.il Judgi and
the district nttorne.v, is tluit of the nl
Icgtd Insanity of the defend int Ae
tordlng to the rule quoted, this board will
not consider anv other ieaons than those
appearing In llitt nollte served upem tho
coutt nnel district attornev
SAID UK WAS INSANi:
When this application tame befoio the
board of pardons, December 21, 1S9J de
fendant's counsel alleged that Van Hum
vwts Insane at thu time he committed tho
crime- and was still insane This, if
lourse was tho nnlv tea son assigned in
their notice.
Thereupon the board leferitd the sub
ject of tho deftndunfs alleged lnsanl'y
tei Henry M. Vt'elhcrlll M. I), eonnectcd
wllh the board of public ch.irltv. and a
well known expert upon (ho subject of
Insiinltv Dr. Wetlierlll Mted Scianton
nnd made a most tliniough examination
Into the mental condition of the mur
deier. His report tinted January !'. ln.
is llltd with this boaitl. Dr. Wether!!!,
In iimt'litdlng his able and schulirly io
poit savs. "I am convlnctd that ho (Van
llornj is a perfcotli responsible being,
with a eleai knowledge of light and
wtong nnd possesses that self-determining
power and self-control which whin
exercised, prevents the good citizen from
committing cr,me."
Tills report leaves the defendant's ap
plication without ctouud to rest upon.
The Judgment of the lower court, al
llrmcd by tho Supremo court, is not to be
lightly set alele The certalniv of pun
ishment ns tho law provides, especially
in n caso of this character Is a great oli
ject lesson to the lawless element of the
lommunlty and should tvnd to pi event n

upon our penal system to commuto Van

nnd In tho courso of ten years or no, as
has frequently happened with murderers,
perhaps pardon him altogether.

of Vnn Horn bo commuted, It will bo of

DIDN'T NEED A TERMIT.
Street Car Tracks Were Bolng Laid
on Private Fropuity.
The Scranton Railway company yes
tciday began work on the construction
of a loop from Its Nay Aug Fulls ter
minal ucross to Mulberry street and
down to l'rescott avenue, tho purpose
being to better accommodate the heavy
summer traflk to the park.
When news of tho operations wete
received at city hall and It was dis
covered that no authorization had been
given by the city, Mayor Molr sent
Chief of Police Holding to the scene to
stop the work. Tho thief upon investi
gating found thnt tho tracks ate bolng
laid on private propel ty and the city
In consequence had nothing to say In
tho matter. The- company averred
that It had secured the right ot way
from tho owners.
Mulberry street nbovo Piescott ave
nue, It will bo remembered, was open
ed up by the Boulevard company and Is
still owned by that organization.
TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE
Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals Will Be Less Gen
erous In the Future with
Its Warnings.
There was a regular meeting ot tho
Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals In the board of traae rooms
last night. Tho society Is In no wise
cast down over the outcome of its re
cent prosecution In court, and believes
It has been the Indirect cnus- of go'jd
inasmuch as It has awakened much
interest in the work of the society.
A consldeiable portion ot the time
of the meeting was taken up In an in
formal dfscussion of the best manner
of prosecuting the wont of the sicloty
duting tho Bummer months. It was the
opinion of the majority of the me nbers
of the society that Its main fault In
the past, if fault it can be called, is
that It Is not aggressive enough. It
proceeds quietly about its mission o
seeing that animals are properly cared
for and from the small amount of
noise made a large percentage of tha
people of the city think the society
is .slumbering. The good work that Is
constantly being done is evident from
the few sore, disabled or weak horses
seen on the street nnd tho few coes
of extreme ciueltv that are heard of.
A great deal yet remains to be done
in tlie way of educating public senti
ment In the matter of taring for and
dtlving horses. A laige number ot the
cases that tame to thu attention oi
the society nre due to Ignorance rather
than a deslie to be cruel.
It was tho opinion of tlu majoiitv
of the members tli.it In future the
society should bo moie aggressive and
refuse to be as genet ous as In the past
In the matter of warnings Those who
violate the law hereafter will be vorv
apt to have punishment meted out to
them.
A lcntuio of the meeting was the
nddrtss of Bicbard Busteed. u Ufa
tnenibei of tho New Yolk socletj. Ho
urged moie aggressive action on tin
part of the boat d, and made a plea to
have the board use its influence to
secuio the repeal of the city onllnnnee
requiring the muzling of dogs in sum
mer. The tecretat'8 leport showed that
Mrs. Maiy T. Phelps gave $100 to the
society since the Inst meeting Thomas
13. Sprague nnd W. 13 Henvviod, (lie
finance committee of the society, ate
to begin at once to make a canvass
with a view to raising netess.i'v ftinels
for tho society.
