ACCUSED OF ILLEGAL PRACTICE
Mary Mlsh Is Given a Hearing Be
fore Alderman Millar.
Mary Mlsh, ot 1023 Cross street, a
midwife ncouscd by Joseph J. Murtln,
9GI Cross tret of unlawful practice of
medicine and surgery without belntr
a graduate ot any medical collect; wan
arranged last night before Alderman
Millar.
Attorneys Charles R. Daniels and W.
M. Dunncll appeared for the prosecu
tion while Attorney Clarence Dnlentlne
conducted Mrs. Mlsh's side of the ens.
The prosecution attempted to prove,
thru Mrs. Mlsh In sending' for certain
pills, on one occasion had exceeded
her prerogatives as midwife.
The defense presented Mr. Beck,
deputy prothonotnry, who presented
the medical register of Lackawanna
county showing that Mrs. Mlsh wai
duly registered. ThlB, the prosecution
contended, was not a necessary pre
caution as such practitioners are no
longer expected to register
Dr. Roos, of Adams avenue, testified
that although he had never hnd nnyl
professional dealings with the woman
he had always known of her as com
petent and painstaking.
Mr. Balentlne nrkod that the case be
discharged as the law docs not lequlre
that a midwife should go -through any
examination, or he a graduate of any
college, before practicing, and that no
midwife had ever been convicted of any
such charge, citing the case of Lena
Gable, now In quarter sessions.
Attorney Daniels made n response In
which he claimed that Mrs. Mlsh had
been guilty of the charge preferred
and therefore should bo duly punished.
He made a strong argument and" the
nlderman then closed the case by par
oling the defendant In her attorney's
charge, until he shculd deliberate over
the matter.

PRISON BOARD HAS
BEEN ORGANIZED
COUNTY JAIL PRISONERS WILL
BE PUT TO WORK.
Act Passed by the Last Legislature
Empowering Counties to Put Male
Prisoners at Manual Labor Is to Bo
Applied Here Squad Will Bo Put
to Work at Once Grading the Coun
ty Lot in the Rear of the Jail Su
burban Roads Will Later Be Im
proved. Pursuant to the act passed by the
last legislature authorizing county
governments to exact eight hours man
ual labor from male prisoners confined
In Jails or workhouses, a prison board
wus yesterday organized by the presi
dent Judge, sheriff nnd county commis
sioners, the olllclalc presented by the
act to comprise the board. Judge ,. h
linld was elected president, und K. K.
Hobothan was made clerk. H. V. Fer
ber nnd Robert Allen were named us
ovet seers, whose duty It will be to dl
lect the work of the prisoners and
guard against their escape.
By Invitation of Judge Archbnld,
there were present at the meeting In
an advisory capacity, Colonel H. M.
Boles. ex-Justlco Alfred Hand, Mayor
James Molr, City Kngineer Joseph P.
Phillips. Civil Kngineer A. U. Dunning
nnd Warden W. T. Simpson. After the
board had organized an Informal dis
cussion of the practicability and ex
pediency of applying the act In this
county ensued nnd the conclusion was
reached that It should be given a trial.
MAKU AN EXPERIMENT.
Accordingly a squad of prisoners will
be put at work In the course of a day
or so grading and fencing the vacant
lot In the rear of the Jail owned by th
county. Should this mild test of the
law nrove successful the scheme will
be undertaken on a larger scale. The
making find repairing of the main
roads In the city submit are among
the things contemplated. The first ex
periment will probably be made with
the Newton turnpike between the Key
sey Valley branch of the Lackawanna
road and the summit of the West
mountain, which thoroughfare Is at
present In an almost Impassable con
dition and which must remain that way
for some time to come If the cltv Is
depended upon to make the repairs,
there being no appropriation or avail
able money that could be applied to
such an Improvement.
It Is proposed to borrow the city road
roller to heln In the work, and the
patrol wagon Is to be brought Into use
In conveying the prisoners to and from
their work.
The prisoners, Wniden Simpson says,
will be perfectly willing to do the work.
In Potter county where the plan Is In
operation the only opposition comes
from a prisoner who was confined for
selling liquor without a license and
who was directed to work out his $3U0
line nt the rate of a dollar a day. This
court, however, was overstepping Its
authority and the sentence was not
carried out. In Lackawanna county a
position on the work-gang will be con
sidered n privilege Instead of a punish
ment, no doubt, and prisoners such as
liquor dealers, editors and others no?
accustomed to manual labor will be
permitted to stay In doors If they ao
choose.
THE LAW IN THE CASE.
It was thought the court was em
powered by an old law to reduce Imr
prisonment terms In county Jails for
good behavior, but Judge Archbald
looked up the matter yesterday and
found that this law Is not now in op
eration. It was intended to apply this
law In rewarding prisoners for faithful
work.
Be it enacted, etc., that from and after
the pahsage of this act. It shall and may
bo lawful to icqulrc every male prisoner
now or hereafter confined within uny
Jail or workhouse in this commonwealth
to do and perfoim eight hours of manual
labor each day of such Imprisonment, ex
cept on Sunday or such legal holidays as
are now or may hereafter be established
by law; no steam, electricity or other
motive power shall be used In the conduct
of the said labor or employment, or on
ony part thereof.
The prison board so constituted and
each ot them, within their respective
counties, nnd subject to the rules and
regulations to be cbtabllshed under tho
provisions of section two of this act, and
under such control nnn management as
shall be therein and thereby provided,
shall have full power and authority to
require and compel to said mnlo prison
ers to woik on public highways outsldo
nf tho limits of the Jails and workhouses,
but within their respective counties. The
preference to be given to public roads
leading to and from county seats all
roads to bo made to conform to grade and
width to tho general road laws of tho
state and, In order that the work done
may bo equitably distributed, no moro
than five miles shall be completed on any
load until a like mileage has been com
pleted on each and all main roads con
nertlng with county seats, and thereafter
work shnll bo done In like sections, ot
five miles, until nil said roads are Im
proved In grade, width and qu.tlity.
The board will meet ngaln Saturday,
Nov. 11, to consider titles

JEALOUSY CAUSED
PELOZI TO SHOOT
MURDERED MAN TRIED TO
ALIENATE WIFE'S AFFECTION.
Splnello Wanted to Elope With Mrs.
Folozi, and When She Refused He
Attempted to Criminally Assault
Her nnd Threatened to Kill Hor.
Husband Became Angered nnd
Killed tho Boarder Murderer Still
At Large Description of Pelozi.
Coroner nold nn Autopsy.
Investigation yesterday revealed the
fact that Jealousy was the cause of the
minder In Old Forge Sunday evening,
when Antotflo Splnello wns shot dead
by his boarding boss, Angelo Pelozi.
Tho murdered man had been living
with the Pelozi family for a long time,
and became enamored of Mrs. Pelozi.
She resented his advances, and threat
ened to acquaint her husband with tho
facts If Splnello persisted In ills atten
tions. Three months ago Splnello wanted
Pelozl's wife to elope with him, but
she refused, saying that she would
rather be shot dead than be unfaithful
to her husband. Splnello persisted In
his endeavors to separuto the couple,
but without success, und wns again
warned by Mrs. Pelozi that unless he
refrained from annoying her, she would
Inform her husband.
About three weeks ago, while the wo
man wns engaged In her household du
ties, Splnello attempted to criminally
assault her, and threatened to kill her
If she told nny one of what happened.
Janero Pusserro, who was In the
house nt the time, learned of Splncllo's
Intention, and also threatened to In
form Pelozi of what occurred. A few
days ago, Mrs. Pelozi heard that her
husband wns uware of wh:Jt had trans
pired, and told him everything.
SPINELLO WAS BOASTING
As related In Tho Tribune yesterdny,
Splnello and Passerro had been attend
ing a wedding in Old Forge, and when
they had reached a point near where
the shooting occurred they met Pelozi.
The former were engaged In conver
sation about Pelozl's wife, when Spln
ello remarked that If the woman did
not ncccde to his wishes, he (Splnello)
would kill her, and, also, her husband.
If necessary.
Pelozi was nearby and overhenrd the
conversation. Approaching the two
men, he asked them what they were
talking about. Both replied that they
were talking about themselves, but
Pelozi would not believe their story,
and drew a revolver from his pocket
and fired four shots, two of which took
effect In Splncllo's body.
Passero grappled with the murderer,
and Pelozi threatened to shoot him If
he djd not let him go. Passerro hung
on, however, and Pelozi pointed the re
volver square at his face and pulled the
tilgger.
Fortunately tho cartridge failed to
explode, and Passerro took to his
heels, running as fast as he could to
the house of Officer James Bell, whom
he Informed of the murder.
Meantime, Pelozi, It Is supposed, took
a roundabout course back to his broth-or-ln-Iaw's
house, where It Is believed
he was secreted during the night.
SEEKING THE FUGITIVE.
Detective Leyshon searched the
premises but failed to find the mur
derer. The occupants swore that the
man had not been there, but their
statement Is not believed.
Pelozl's wife said that she was with
her husband at 9 o'clock p. m. In the
house where the wedding occurred,
and that he left there to go to his
brother-in-law's house.
According to hor statement, the mur
derer -was with her after the shooting,
and did not say anything about It, but
this assertion Is quite Improbable, ns
the officers were searching for him at
that time.
A close watch was kept on Pelozl's
house all night, nnd a diligent search
was prosecuted all day yesterday, but
no trace of the murderer could be
found.
It Is believed, however, that he Is In
hiding In Old Forge, and Is being
shielded by his friends.
The murderer Is about S feet 6 Inches
I tall, about 30 years of age, and wore a
dark suit of clothes and slouch hat. He
has black hair and slight black mous
tache, and speaks fairly good English.
He also wore a heavy sliver watch
chain.
