A very enthusiastic meeting of the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Alumni
association of the University of Penn
sylvania was held last evening In the

ACCUSED BURGLARS
MAKE NO DEFENSE
CONTENT TO ESCAPE CONVIC
TION ON FIRST COUNT.
Strong Intimation That They Will
Succeed in Doing Tills Interect
ing Arguments on tho All Impor
tant Question as to Whether or
Not the Bunk Room in tho Burg
larizod Power House Made tho
Premises a "Dwelling House"
Within the Definition of Law.
As foreshadowed In The Tribune on
Tuesday, tho defense In tho Mayfleld
burglary case constats mainly In an
effort to reduce tho grade of tho crlmo
to statutory burglary, for which tho
maximum penaltv Is four years' im
prisonment and $500 fine. If common ;
mw uuibiui- i proven u. peiumy ui ,
ton years and $1,000 fine may bj Im
posed, If tho verdict 13 one of statu
tory burglary and the prisoners nro
sentenced now they cannot be given
tho full term of four years, as the
law requires that a prisoner's sen
tence must so run that It shall explro
In the summer time.
The fact that the defense offered no
testimony entitles It to make the last I
address to tho jury. Mr. O'Brien will
do the summing up. It Is generally
expected that he will Intimate to tho
Jury that his clients had nothing to
gain by going on the stand nnd telling
who they are and what their business
was around Carbondalo on tho morn
ing following the burglary, and then
argue that tho Commonwealth hnsi
failed to prove beyond a reasonable;
doubt that the defendants belonged to
the party that robbed the Maydeld
power house. The story the prisoners
have held to all along Is that they
mot by accident In the Carbondalo
yard at different periods of the early
morning, some of them Joining the
party after the train had started.
Gaughan and Cummings aro the only
two who admit they know one another
before that morning.
PROSECUTION RESTED.
The prosecution rested at 3.55 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, after having pre
sented one of the most complete, log.
leal and connected stories of ia crlmo
that was over unraveled from the
witness box in the Lackawahni
courts.
Mr. Kelly forthwith moved the court
to compel the district attorney to elect
the count of the indictment upon
which he would ask n verdict, alleg
ing that tho second count, statutory
burglary by breaking In and tho third
count, stntutory burglary without
breaking In, were Inconsistent with
the first count, common law burglary,
In which it Is essential that the burg
larized, premises shall bo a dwelling
house.
Judge Edwards announced that
there was no evidence, as he viewed
the matter then, on which to rest tho
charge of common law burglary, and
that he would probably charge tho
Jury to that effect. He would not,
however, compel tho district attorney
to elect which charge he would press
until after the defense had closed.
Messrs. O'Brien und Kelly held a
short whispered consultation and then
Mr. O'Brien called out : "The defen
dants rest."
Judge Edwards then listened to ar
guments on tho question of whether or
not the bunk room over the office In
the power station made It a dwelling
house within the meaning of tho law.
Undaunted by Judge Edwards' an
nouncement that he was of the opin
ion that tho evidence had not shown
the premises to be a dwelling house,
within tho dcllnltlon of tho law. Mr.
Jones proceeded to prove it was and
cited a long string of authorities In
support of his contention.
MR. JONES' ARGUMENT.
A building takes on tho character of
a dwelling house, Mr. Jones argued,
and becomes such In the eyes of the
IaM under the following circumstanc
es: A store In which a watchman reg
ularly sleeps; the room of a guest at
a hotel even though he Is a transient
guest; any prcmls.s having Internal
communication with apartments under
the same roof which are occupied as
sleeping apartments. He also con
tended that the court should definn
what a dwelling house is under the
law, and leave it to tho Jury to say
whether or not tho premises in ques
tion meet the definition.
air. Kelly argued that the only ques
tion on which the charge of common
law burglary hinged was whether or
not the power station was a dwelling
house. It could not be such, ho said,
under the reading of the very Indict
ment Itself, which used these term?:
"Used as a power house and a dwelling
house by tho Carbondale Traction com
pany, a cornoratlon, etc." A corpora
tion, Mr. Kelly averred, was so con
stituted physically thnt It could not
very well be accredited with a dwell
ing. The fact that a few trolley men were
In the habit of sleeping there did not
make the place a dwelling house. Why
did they sleep there? "ocause It was
more convenient nt times for them to
stay there than to go where? To go
to their dwelling houses.
WHAT MR. KELLY URGED.
An engineer on tho Delaware and
Hudson road might come in late to the
round-house In Green Ridge and. rather
than wulk a long distance to his home
In tho darkness, he would stretch out
on a bench and sleep till daylight.
Would this make the round-house u
habitation? Mr. Kelly asked. If a law
yer should come back Into town on a
late train and go to his ofllce to sleep,
Instead of traveling to his home In the
suburbs, would a man who burglarized
tho building in which the lawyer's
office was located be guilty of common
law burglary? A sleeping car is fre
quently occuuled by a party for four
or five days on a trip to California, for
Instance, yet no one would hold the car
to bo his habitation. A booth or tent
at a county fair have been held by the
courts not to bo a dwelling house. In
the present Instance, Mr. Kelly pointed
out, the men who slept In the bunk
room In tho power station at Maydeld
would bo found registered as voters In
Carbondale, Jermyn, or wherever els?
they happened to hall from. It Is saf
to presume, he said, that none of thorn
ever voted In Mayfleld borough on the
strength of their occupancy of the bunk
mom In the Traction company's power
house. A dwelling house Is a plnca
where a man lives. It Is his habita
tion and no man can have two habita
tions. Judge Edwards will decldo tho ques
tion this morning. If he decides that
the Mayfleld power station, was not a
"dwelling house," and he w'as disposed
to decldo this way before hearing the
arguments, the defendants cannot be
given more than three years and a few
months' Imprisonment, even though
the court was Inclined to Impose the
maximum penalty.
When court adjourned Tuesday, Dis
trict Attorney Jones had llnlshed the
examination of George Dlmmlck, en
gineer of tho Krlt train on which the
defendants rodo from Bracebrook to
Ararat. Ills story of the unsuccessful
effort to nail the doors of the uox car
In which they rodo nnd tho manner In
which they left tho car at Unlondnle
and entered It again farther up the
road was corroborated by Conductor
Slegel Bobbins nnd Brakcmcn Walter
Uowens, Richard lluddy and Horton
Dllts.
Warden W. T. Simpson Identified four
derby hats as the headgear worn by
tho defendants when they were re
ceived at tho county Jail.
Jesse Vail, the miller, who helped
Leach halt the gang at Ararat, told a
story that was substantially the samo
as that of Engineer Dlmmlck. He In
sisted that tho first shot came from the
gang that got out of the car.
Judge Edwards reminded counsel
that It was not a case of munstaughte:
thnt wns bvenB t,.lod( and tlmt the ,,!
t on of ...,. Ih.e(1 . . ,lrst shot lmd
nothing to do with the matter. No ob
jection bplng raised, however, he would
Indulge the testimony.
John Leslie, Frank Stocker, D. O.
Lake, Constable Neary and John Wood
mansee testified to having found along
tho trail through the woods, followed
by tho fugitives, a leather revolver
pouch, a bottle, lady's gold chain, a
silver watch case containing dynamite
caps and a Colt's revolver.
Chief of Police McAndrew testified
to having found $10.55 on Gaughan,
and $2.fi0 on Cummings, and also on
Cummings a bottle containing a liquid,
which had the appearance of nitro
glycerine. SAW DALTON ANI. ZOLLNEU.
Delia Payne, a servant girl In tho
employ of Gaylord Gellatt, of Comfort
Pond, testified that on tho morning
of the burglary she saw two men pass
the house nnd that one of them
stopped some distance down tho road
and turned Into a clump of bushes
for a few moments. She Identified
Dalton and Zollner as the two men.
Farmer Gellatt testified to the samo
thing. Seward Wall, a 15-year-old boy,
testified to tho finding of a stick of
dynamite in the clump of bushes re
ferred to by the preceding witnesses.
William Daniels, a coal and Iron
policeman from Shennndonh and Coun
ty Detective Leyshon Identified the
small steel wedges found on Cummings
as the kind of tools used by burglars
In erael'.lng pnfvs. George M. Wal
lace, of Ararat, testified to the finding
of a nickel plate revolver In the
swamp.
Night Clerk Brokenshlre and Clerk
Eli Niehotson. of the Traction com
pany, testified that the olllce door wns
burst In by the burglars, the catch
being forced off.
The last witness was Leach the man
with the gun. A general hush fell
over the crowded court' room when
he took the stand nnd continued dur
ing the entire recital of his story.
Ho was doing his early morning
chores when tho telegraph operator
camo running over to him with a
message telling of the Miyfleld bur
glary and of the six supposed bur
glars bein,-,' on the train that had Just
left Unlondnle.
TOOK HIS RIFLE ALONG.
Taking his rlile he went to the sta
tion. Jesse Vail came along soon af
terwards armed with a revolver. When
the train stopped Leach and Vail went
to the west side of the train, which
pulled up past them tho length of a
few cars. The gang wns In the first
car.
One man got off on the west sldo
and started ahead. Leach called to
him "Stranger hold on a minute, I'd
like to talk to you." Tho man whipped
out a revolver and whirled around
and fired. Vail fired at him and tho
fire was returned. Leach took a shot
at him but missed him.
Looking beneath the cars they could
see the five other men getting out on
tho opposite side of the train. Lench
went around the engine, leaving Vail
to deal with the man going down tho
track. As told by Vail he and his man
had a lively exchange of shots, but
no harm was dono and the man es
caped. When Leach appeared on tho east
side of the train, four of the five men
wero drawn up In semi-circle on a
mound of culm, while the fifth man,
Barry, who was killed, stooel a little
In advance on lower ground. Leach
was carrying his gun at a "trail" In
his right hand. When he approached
tho five men the first of them took
aim at him and fired. At the same
moment Lench raised his rlile and shot.
Barry dropped with a bullet through
his brain.
The other four fired a volley, or. at
all events, a volley of shots came from
the siml-clrcle nnd then they broke
and retreated towards the swamp, scat
tering as they ran.
CAUGHT ON THE FENCE.
Gaughan's trousers became caught In
the barbed wire fence enclosing the
swamp and Lrnch started towards him.
Gauzhan turned around as far as he
could and, taking aim at Leach, fired.
Leach shot at him and sent a bullet
through his shoulder. He broko nn-.iv
j form tho barberl wire and Btnggered
muni,- sume enstunce through the
swamp, finally dropping down behind
a clumn of bushes. Leach says that
when he called to Gaughan, "Halt, or
I'll shoot," Gaughan answered, "Shoot
and be el ." Leach then shot.
Cummings, after clearing tho fence,
stopped In his flight, rested his big
Colt's revolver In tho hollow of his
bent, left arm and, aiming at Leach,
fired. Leach shot at Cummings and
shattered his right arm. Cummings
zlg-zagged up the hill, but only went a
short distance, when he returned and
sat on a stone. Ho and Gaughan sub
mitted quietly when Leach and Vail
went up to them. Zollner and Dalton,
who got over the fence first, disap
peared over the hill, while Leach was
engaged with Cummings and Gaughan.
On cross-examination Mr. O'Brien
brought out tho fact that Leach did
not tell the men he was a constable or
thnt he had orders to arrest them. He
said he did not havo time to tell them
anything. Vull was not asked to as
sist him.
He denied that ono or tho men asked
him why he was shooting at them and
that ho made no answer oxcent with
his rlile. Leach would not admit thnt
ho shot tiny of them.
"Did not thoso men nsk you If you
were shooting at them Just because
they wero stealing a ride on tho train?"
queried Mr. O'Brien.
"What men?" retorted Leach.
"Tho men you shot." said Mr. O'Brien.
"I don't know that I shot uny men,"
quickly responded Leuch.
It was further elicited by Mr. O'Brien
that Leach Is a peace officer appointed
by the Susquehanna court and that his
commission was left up in his saloon
In Ararat.
AN ECHO OF THE
OLD FORGE STRIKE
DEPUTY AND NON-UNION MAN
- ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
Chargo of Pointing Plro Arms That
Grew Out of One of the Exciting
Early Morning Incidents in Which
tho Women Wero tho Principal
Participants By Agreement the
Cace Was Not Pressed Defendants
Pared Well Before Judge Blddcll,
Only Ono Conviction.
An echo of the Old Forge strike wns
heard In Judge Blddell's court, yes
terday, when Jchn Byers and Thomas
Scavo were arraigned to answer tho
charge of pointing flro arms, preferred
by Constable John S. Davis,
Byers was a deputy and Scavo ono
of the workmen, who was escorted to
nnd from work each day during tho
continuance of the company's effort to
run tho mine without the, aid of their
old employes. One morning Scavo and
Byers were held up by some women
strike sympathizers, and they dis
played their revolvers. Scavo fired a
shot, but ho avers tho plstl was
aimed In the air.
Wrhen the strike was settle 1, tho
prosecutions Instituted by one side or
tho other, It was agreed, shout 1 be
dropped, and, yesterday.when this case
came up, a verdict of not guilty was
agreed to upbn tho defendants pay
ing tho costs.
A verdict of not guilty wns directed
In the case of Martin Jos vhlk, charg
ed by his fellow-boa Br, Andrew
Strus, with the larceny $20. Strus
left the money under his, .lllow In the
bed In which he and JOepchlk slept.
He went out at eaily morn leaving
Josepchlk asleep in bed. When ho
returned the money was gone. Jo
sepchlk was there but denied all
knowledge of how tho money disap
peared, nnd submitted to a search,
which failed to discover any of A10
money.
A verdict of not guilty was likewise
directed In the case of William Green
charged by John McCabe with tho lar
ceny of n horse. Green, it was made
to appear, owned the horse originally
and sold It to a man named Ander
son. Tho latter sold It to McCabe.
The horse wandered back to Green'3
premises and he put It In his barn
to await the call of tho owner. Mc
Cabe came for It, but Green refused
to give it up, not knowing that ho
was tho owner.
Lizzie Labotsky, charged with hav
ing secured credit from tho Swift
Packing company by falsely stating
that she owned eleven unincumbered
properties, was returned not guilty by
direction of court, tho prosecutor hav
ing failed to establish that there were
any false pretenses, within tho defini
tion of the law.
Miles Finch was accused by Joseph
Pool, tho son of his boarding-boss, with
tho theft of a gun. but the Jury believed
his statement that the gun was given
him by the prosecutor's father as se
curity for a loan of $G, and returned
a verdict of not guilty.
John Sarto, of Mlnooka, was tried
for assaulting and robbing a psck
peddler named Morris Glsberg. Ho
was found guilty of assault and bat
tery, and not guilty of larceny.
Not guilty, costs divided, was the
Jury's return In tho assault and bat
tery case from Prlceburg, In which
Robert Davis was defendant, and Mat
thew Harrocks, prosecutor.
