-HE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1899.
DRAMATIC SCENE
IN CRIMINAL COURT
LITTLE MICHAEL GARVEY DE
FENDED HIS MOTHER.
"I Fractured Fleming's Skull," Ho
Bald, "and Now Thoy Are Trying to
Swear It on Mo Ma" Verdict of
Guilty Against Tucker, Maxoy and
Jacobs They Fllo Reasons for a
New Trial Roney Jury Had Not
Reported a Verdict at Adjourning
Hour Other Cases.
Michael Garvey Is only a snub-nosed,
dwarfish lttle fellow of thirteen, but
he has manliness enough for one of
twice his proportions.
His mother is Mrs. Sarah Garvey,
who Is extensively known to fame In
South Scranton. Yesterday she was
the prosecutrix In a case of assault
and battery against hor neighbors,
Ulchard and Catherine Fleming, of Vlg
etreet.
The parties had a Unlit one day last
April In which fists and stones were
freely used. Fleming, nlthotiRh a de
fendant yesterday, seems to have fared
the worse In the melee. He was struck
on the forehead with a Mono which
cut a big Rash and fractured the skull
Several other reminders of the April
battle are to be found on his person.
The Garveys swore that the Flem
ings were responsible for the trouble
and the latter as emphatically denied
the charRC and held Mrs. Garvey
wholly the cause of the blood letting
and other exciting features of the day.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Fleming- sworo
positively that Mrs. Garvey threw the
stone that hit Fleming In the forehead
and wounded him so grevlously. While
they were testifying Mrs. Garvey's
young son, Michael, was visibly excit
ed. He went over to the common
wealth's table and had a whispered
conversation with District Attorney
John R. Jones and Attorney John It.
Murphy, who were conducting the
prosecution. He wanted permission to
go on the stand and testify and when
It was refused ho began to cry. Fin
ally, to pacify him, he was allowed to
to on the stand.
DRAMATIC "WITNESS.
He stood up In the witness box and
with dramatic gestures exonerated his
mother from any responsibility for the
fracture of Fleming's skull.
"I'm the one that did it," he said.
"I hit Fleming with the stone. Why?
'Cause he was trowln' the right and
left into me ma nnd she was hollering
for help. When I saw what he was
doln' I up with a stone and split him
and knocked him down. Now they're
tryln" to swear It on me ma," and here
Michael broke down and began to sob,
"but she didn't do It. If any one laid
him up It was me. He didn't know
who hit him."
In charging the Jury Judge Edwaids
Fald if he was n juror he would be
lieve the boy's frank statement. The
Jury retired just before court nd
journed and agreed upon a verdict in
a few moments. The verdict will be
reported this morning.
After court opened yesterday morn
ing the trial of the case of the com
monwealth against Mclvln Roney was
resumed before Judgo Edwards. Roney
was charged with an attempt to crim
inally assault Miss Frances Wesser In
Roaring Hrook township at 6.15 on the
night of March 16. The defense was
an alibi.
On the night in question Roney said
he worked on his father's farm cut
ting props until S o'elork and then
started for his home in this city, reach
ing there about midnight. Ho was
corroborated ns to tho time he left the
farm by his father, Frank Roney, and
his father's housekeeper, Barbara Rob
lnsnn. A number of witnesses were
sworn to prove Roney's good charaetpr.
The c.iso was Mibmittod upon the
charge of tho court and the jury re
tired hefore noon. A verdict had not
been returned up to the hour of ad
journment. TUCKER AND MAXET GUILTY.
When court openod yesterday morn
ing a verdict of guilty was reported
in tho case of Evan J. Tucker, T. J.
Maxcy and M. P. Jacobs, who aie
charged with conspiracy by A. U.
Wright, of the Bohea Importing com
pany of New York. Reasons for a new
trial were at once filed by Attorneys
C. P. O'Malley and John F. Scragg,
tvho represent the convicted men.
It is asserted that tho verdict is
against the weight of tho evidence and
that W. M. Hampton, while sitting ns
a juror In the case and before the evi
dence was closed, exnressed an opin
ion as to the guilt of the defendants and
as to tho disposition he would make
of the case to various persons.
It Is also set forth In the reasons
for a new trial that the court erred
In not withdrawing a Juror and con
tinuing the case when the attorney for
the commonwealth referred to the
testimony taken In bankruptcy pro
ceedings, in which two of the defen
dants were- the bankrupts. Other al
leged errors on the part of the trial
judge were pointed out and portions
of his charge are excepted to. It Is
contended that the court should have
directed the acquittal of tho defen
dants. The case nt tho head of the list for
next week Isi tho one against tho men
who robbed tho Maylleld power house
in March. They are now in the coun
ty jail awaiting trial. DIbtrlct Attor
ney Jones yesterday had the case con
tinued until tho next term, on account
of the absence of material witnesses.
CASE AGAINST CITY OFFICIALS.
A nollo prosequi was entered yester
day in the case against ox-Mayor
James J- O'NpIH and the members of
the select nnd common councils of Car
bondale, who were charged with main
taining a public nuisance on Sept. 12,
3898, because they failed to keep cer
tain streets of tho city In proper con
dition. Detective "Mickey" Moran was
prosecutor. Mr. O'Neill Is no longer
mayor of Carbondale, and, anyway, the
streets have been repaired.
A verdict of not guilty was ordered
by Judge Searlo In the cnsejjf Michael
Sharack, charged with embezzlement
by John F. Lukack. Tho prosecutor
was directed to pay the costs. Shar
ack was charged with cmblezzllng tho
funds of a Polish church of West
Bcranton.
In the case against Stanislaus Phil
llpkowskl, charged with malicious mis
chief by Roslo Zolkowska, a verdict
of not guilty and the prosecutrix was
directed to pay the costs. The defen
dant was charged with breaking win
dows In the houso of the prosecutrix
In Keyocr Valley.
Joseph Agrodusky was tried before
Judge Searlo on a charge of assault
and battery preferred by Joseph
6chultz. The defendant said ho was
In n saloon on South Washington nve
nue when a fight Btnrted In widely Jos
eph Schultz was mixed up. Agrodusky
said he merely acted as a peace-maker.
The prosecutor said tho defendant was
far from nctlng as a peace-maker, for
ho gave him several thumps In tho
face. The Jury was out deliberating on
tho case at adjourning time.
HUSBAND RELENTED.
Verdicts of not guilty were taken
In the cases against Annie Powell and
Edwin Jones, charged with unlawful
relations. Thomas II, Powell, the wo
man's husband, was tho prosecutor In
the case. The troubles of tho Powells
caused a generous sized Bcnsatlon In
North Scranton several months ago.
The husband decided not to prosecute
his wife and consequently the case
against the man had to fall.
Airs. Michael Fee and Mrs. Catherine
Fee, of Archbald, arc married to
brothers, but they do not seem to
dwell In peace and harmony. They
were before Judge Edwards yester
day. Mrs. Catherine Fee said Mrs.
Michael Fee hit her with a stone. The
Jury said not guilty and divided the
costs.
Elmer Howell was put on trial for
placing his arm around the neck of
the 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Sarah
A.Wlltshlroononeof thostreets. of West
Scranton at 10 o'clock ono night. How
ell Is 15 years of age. Judge Edwards
said the case ought never to have come
Into the courts and ordered a verdict
of not guilty. The county will pay
the costs.
In the case of John Thomas, charged
with assault and battery by Thomas
V. Lewis, a nollo prosequi was entered
upon payment of tho costs.
William Coyle was exonerated by a
Jury of having anything to do with
the theft of a number of nrtlcles from
the houso of George Benardt, of Fell
township. The defense was an ablbl.
Reasons for a New Trlnl.
Reasons for a new trial were filed
yesterday In the case of Miss Lizzie
Carey against W. G. Jones and M. L.
Jones, which was tiled at the last term
of common pleas court. A verdict of
$700 in favor of the plaintiff was re
turned by the jury.
In the reasons for a. new trial It Is
set forth that the verdict Is excessive
and that tho court was guilty of errors
In the trial of the case.

George Smith of Beech Street, Placed
Under Arrest.
George Smith, of Beech street, aged
12 years, was arrested yesterday upon
a warrant sworn out at the Instance
of the Barber Asphalt company, who
charged him with stealing brass from
an engine belonging to tho company.
He was analgned before Alderman
Millar and at first denied the charge,
but finally admitted the theft and im
plicated a boy named Hiram Gable,
lie said they sold the brass to a dealer
in Bellevue.
