Hie fii st sworn. lie Is one of the
lios who sold goods to the Surovltzs.
Crane Is IS yeais of age, but small
for his size. He lives on Capouse
venue with his parents and has re
lided theie nearly all his life, but ad
mitted on the stand that he cannot
lead or write. His manner on the
stand was that of a person who en
loed the notoriety he has achieved.
There was not own a suspicion of cm-bana'-sment
in hi manner as he re
:ounted the burglaries he engaged In
Oano s-aid that with William Tate

Lackawanna IMInt works one cenlng

ninety stliKs of solder and carried
lliom to Surovltz' place. Mike Suro it
hald he did not want to buy it for
tear some one would be around to
aiako trouble about it. He said he
Aould hide the solder in the bam, nnd
Dr. Mitchell says in diffi
cult cases of Anemia, he adds
cod-liver oil half an hour
after each meal and he likes
to use it in an emulsion ; that
he has watched with grow
ing surprise some listless,
feeble, creature gathering
flesh, color and wholesome
ness of mind and body from
this treatment.
"Scott's Emulsion" is cod

THE NEW EXHIBITION
The
Summer
Costumes . . .
A first view of this
showing should not
be missed.
The showing of Spring gowns
nere during the past few months
las brought great distinction to this
'tore. They have been the best work
A foreign and American tailors and
lave given an impulse and direct
on to this great showing of summer
lresses. This second showing in
t's way is equally as interesting
is it's forerunner and was gathered
inder the same authority as brought
ogether the Spring styles. The
ostumes show what can be done
nth Summer fabrics of Cotton and
.men; and Paris styles dominate.
The same excellence in cutting and
naking that characterized the gar
nents of the last showing, will be
found giving perfection to the
Summer dresses here assembled.
If you are interested only to the
;xtent of knowing what's "correct"
this "meeting" of choice costumes
will draw you here.

if no one came after it they could come
around In a few days and get the
money for It. They reached Surovltz's
placi about S o'clock in the evening.
William Tate, who was the treasurer
of the party, went to Surovltz's the
next day and was paid eighty cents.
Crane, tho Tates and Weasel rcceUed
twenty cents each of this money. Mur
ray did not get anything. Crane tetl
tlod that he helped Mike Surovltz to
oatrv tho soldet to the barn where they
hid it under the hay.
Tun OTiinn iujhgivAuy.
Soon nfterwauls they burglarized tho
factory of the Lackawanna Lubilcat
lng works on Capoue avenue. This
was on Match 1). James Walsh, Wil
liam Tate and Homy Weasel wote with
him on this occasion. It was between
9 and 10 o'clock nt night when they
entered and they rairicd away with
them thirty-nine pound s of ropp r
wire, sheet copper and a considerable
quantity of brass. This they cnrrled
to the Surovltz linine whcio they sold
It when they i cached the Suroltr. resi
dence it was about midnight. After
some little dickering thej gold the brass
and copper and William Tate was paid
$1.72 cents. V.ach of them received
$1.18 as their share. Surovltz and his
son were present at the time and the
elder Surovltz cautioned tho boys to
bo eaieful or they would get caught.
This was offered to piove that the
Surovltz's know they were put chasing
stolen goods
Crane said that Mike Surovltz
stopped him In the corridor yesteiday
and told him to say nothing when on
tho stand about his (Surovltzs) fath
er, and to answer only such questions
as weie asked of him Ciane admit
ted on tioss-cxamlnatlon that Chief -of-Polito
nut it II told him It was the
Junk dealers lliny weie after and If he
(witness) would tell the whole truth
about the burglaries and disposition of
the goods It would help his case mater
ially. Ciane was not living at home
when the buiglarlcs were committed,
but Is now.
William T.ite was the next witness.
He has been In jail since his arrest
and Is a handsome outh of 17 yeirs.
His manner on the stand was that of
a. louth who poss'sses keen sensibili
ties During the time ho has been In
jnil he has spent much or his time In
drawing. haing a decided talent for
It. He was the treasurer of the gang.
connonoRATED cranu.
Ills testimony was almest exactly
identical to Crane's. He told of goiig
back to Surovitz' on the day after they
left the solder there unci of lecelvlng
eighty itnts lrom Mike Suroiltz for it.
The latter told him it was all they
could affoid to pay as they lan the

Jlfty sticks of solder to the Suiovltz's
instead of about ninety, as was testi
fied to by Crane.
George Jenecke was re-ealled and
said 50 sticks of solder would cost $7.
For this the Surovltz's paid eighty
cents. J. S. Lewis, superintendent of
the Lackawanna Lubricating works,
testified that tho goods taken from
their place wete worth $J0 For these
$i.72 was paid by the Suiovltrs. N.
Andrew, a bras turner at the wotks,
identified an apron found in Suroitz's
place as his pioporty. The boys car
lied away part of their "swag" wrapped
up In It.
Hairy Murray gave testimony cor
roborative of Crane and T.ite and so
did James Walsh. The latter is a boy
of twelve and wears knickerbockers.
He was a party to the bmglaiy at tho
Lubi letting works and went with tfto
others at midnight to dispose of the
goods. Jacob Surovltz, when they were
leaving, told them to come around
again whenever they had anything to
sell. Henry Weasel, age 14. who vi-is
also In the party that night, corrob
orated Walsh as to this remark. Roth
of these bovs live on tho South Side,
and the Tate boys in Hdo Pnik.
That closed the testimony for yester
day. The commonwealth has several
witnesses yet to examine.
M'DAVITT CONVICTET.
James McDavitt, a cab dilver, who
was employed last winter by James
Ncalis, wus tried before Judge i:dnrds
for negligence by bailee and cinbezzle-
ment. Tho negligence by bailee con
sisted of badly damaging a cab ho was
I driving on Feb. 0 and the embizzle
I ment of retaining a fare of $3 paid to
him for Mr. Nealls.
The judge look the case of nesllccnrn
1 by bailee from the jury for the reason
that the act provides fur the punish
ment of persons who hire a convey
! ance and damage It but does not say
anv thing about punishment of em
ployes. McDavltt's deft rise of the tin
, bezzloment charge was that the hoisd
attached to the cab run away and ho
was thrown to the street nnd lost $2
which belonged to his employer and
(which he had received from a cus
tomer. He denied that the sum was
$1. The juty found him guilty, but
recommended him to mercy.

Sybin. John Uodnar and Andrew Kos

I dfendants were a committee that
went nmong the membcis or the con
. gregatlon of the Greek church to col
j lect money for the supnoit of their
, pastor. They secured tho safe from
Horonath to place the money In and
j after thev were through with It failed
to return It to the owner The defend
ants disputed that the safe was Hoio
nath's property and In explanation of
Its fate said It was left In the house of
John Bosak, of Olyphant, and his chil
dren broke It. Judge Edwards said It
was a case for the civil rather than the
criminal court, and directed a verdict
of not guilty.

bides on HarrUon avenue, was' tried

"Hope Deferred
Mnkctli the Heart Sick."
In a city like Scranton there must
be many hundreds of diseasc-sti ick
cn mortals who, after having been
buoyed up by. unfulfilled promises
made by unskilled or catch-penny
doctors for several years, have al
most resigned themselves to their
fate, and grown sick at heart in
despair.
Cheer Up
Suffering Ones
Do not let hope die. There are no two
physicians in this state tint have hid
more jxperience or more thorough Insight

heir to thin the unJersigneJ have had,
and while v.c cannot cure in every case,
we stand ready to proe that the per
centage of perfect recoveries to our cred
it is phenomenally hrge, and we will at
least be honest enough to tell you at the
outset whether or not we can cure your

Taffeta Silks
In these days of cheap dyeing and flimsy weav
ing and stinginess, there's a kind of goodness that
has come to be called "old fashioned." These are
"old fashioned" taffetas, equal to those made in the
days when a silk dress was expected to wear for
twenty years. Silks are the crucial test of a store.
Slowly the recognition came that this store sold
them best of all. How widely the fact is acknowl
edged now, We speak plainly of taffeta silks silk
pure and simple, silk extraordinarily light; yet a silk
that a strong man, in our presence, could not tear
with his hands, though urged to extreme effort and
girded at for failure. Silk that will clean like a plate
of glass and wear like sheet steel. And finally,
silks at
M y yard
in black, plain colors and changeable effects that are
better than those offered in most stores at 85c.
