evidence of gieat mental and physical
sniffling.
Dr. Kennedy, united In his icglmen

nnd the hiailng was piocecded with.
Dr. Kennedy explained that he bi ought
the piosecutlon as health ollicer on lu
f oi mat Ion that came fioni tollable
paitles, that Ml. and Mis. Hobcits'
children had iUvl of illphlheila; that t
public f uncial had been peimltted and
that the caskets weie opened at the
giave. He pioduced a leport cat el sent
In by Di. J. J. Uellhelmcr, the attend

of the chlldlen had diphtheria, that
the house might bo placaided and the
other usual piecautlons taken.
NOT A I'l'IlUC KUNHRAL.
Ho then called I'lidoi taker Daniel
T. Jones to prove the allegation that
tho funeial was publi" and that the
casket was opened at the giave. Mr.
Jones pt oved the diairetiic opposite'.

paiently fair and unbilled desctiptlon
of the funeial. There were soma
adults at tho funeral, be said, but It
w is not, according to his state ment, a
public funeral. Pall-bcaiei.s even were
dispensed with, the family being satis

The lid of each coflln was lifted at
the giave, ho admitted. te penult of ,i
last lew of the remains, but the cof
fins, novel thele-ts, were not opened, for
beneath the lid of each was a second
lid, a glass panel, which was kept
tightly sciewed down and which closed
the caskets as tightly, almost as if
they weie lieinietleallv sealed.
At -all events, the witness said, a
public funeral could have been held

Dr. Rellheliner, who made the death
eoitltlouto, was piesent ami was called
upon by the aldciman to make a state

ho said, was tteated by him for el'iph

lifter eveiy vestige of the illphtheiotie

liability lo contagion was gone, the

While the patalysls may have been con
sequent upon the diphtheria, the doc

dlphtheila dlsappeaied four days pio
vious and the house and all its sur
loiindlugs weie tlioioughly fumigated,
which was done with foimaldehyde gas
under his own supei vision, every dan

The paral.vsls, he went on to explain,

which was its primal y cause. The

genus weie no longer piesent, and was
satlslled that the funeial us conducted
was in no wise a menace to tho public
safet.
"On iiur piofesslonal leputatlon aio

LOOKS BAD FOR COLE.
He Is Charged with Taking Money
from a Prisoner and Allowing
Her to Escapo - Cole's Version
Kiank Molaskl and 'Maty Kosloskl,
who eloped fiom this city last week,
and Incidentally took with them $221
and personal ptopeity to the value of
$100 'belonging to John Kosloskl, the
husband of the woman, were brought
back from Hazleton yesterday by Con
stable John Newman, of Alderman
Milieu's couit, nnd Constable Lough
ran, of Huzleton, and committed to
the county Jail In default of $600 ball
each to answer tho charges of larceny
and adultery.
Sboitly after tho couple eloped, Kos
loskl suoie out a warrant befoie Al
eleimnn Mlllctt, charging the woman
with desertion and the man with lar
ceny, and It was placed in the hands
of Deputy Constable W. N. Cole, who
went to Hazleton on Tilday, accom
panied by Kosloskl. They found tho
couple and while they weio waiting
for Molaskl to change his clothes, tho
latter made his escape by jumping
from a second story w Indow.
The woman was placed under airest
and agieed to nceonipany Kosloskl and
Cole back to Scranton. Accoidlng to
her own statennut, she says they left
Hazleton at ti.u", and arrived In
Wllkes-Haiie at 11.70 p. m. "Wc could
not i .itch a ti.iin lot Muanton," she
asseited. "so the constable uskod me
it I would .stay at a hotel. We got
away liom my husband and went
there. Haily In tho moiniug he came
to my loom, awakened me and said
if I would give him $J0 I would be per
mitted to escape. 1 gave him the
twenty and left on a morning tialn for
Hazleton.
The husband, believing that tho
pilsoner and constable had come
through to Scranton, tetuined homo
Satuidav and not finding theni, sought
Colo for nn explanation. Ho was ln
loimed that she h'Kl escaped fiom th"
constable. Meantime Molaskl had ie-
turned to his bonding plac In Huzle

woman on her iciuin ficen Wllkes

$3 lor going to Hazleton and that he
also took $13 fiom tho woman in a

censed .it the constable. Kosloskl pin
cured another wanart on Situiday
fiom Aldeiman Mlllctt, charging the
e ouplo with laifonv and ndultery, and
tetuined to Hazleton the same even

hands of Constablo t.ougluan who in

Constable Alley, went to tho house,

with Constable Lougbran In ought tho
prlsoneis back. They worn given a
healing befoie Aldeunan Mlllctt jes
ter day afternoon, and In default of
ball both weie committed to tho county
Jail.
Constable Cole, when seen jesteiday
by a Tilbuuo man, gave the following
u.i his ci sinn of tho stoiy:
'Tilday I went to Hazleton with
Kcfloskl. Wo went Into this house at
No. 3 'Hazleton street, und theio we
found the woman and a crowd of Po
landcis. One of them got up as we
enteie'd and walked nut. I didn't think
nnythlng of it at tho time, but aftei
ward Kosloskl, who was duink, said
to mo: 'Why didn't ou an est that
man'.' It was Molaskl.'
"Wo soon after left for Scranton, Wo
slopped at Wllkes-Hauo and, as I had
no wau ant for Mis, Kosloskl's an est,
1 told her sho could go hack to Hazle
ton, as her husband had been swear
ing at and abusing her all along the
way.
"Ho also said that ho wouldn't pay
for her car fure. As an Instance of
how drunk ho was, I tell you that he
took $.'0 In bills which tho woman had
and line them In pieces."
Constable Colo also asserted that the
woman told him Unit Kosloskl has a
wife in the old country. She heiself,
Colo says, has never been man lad to
Kosloskl, hut has mciely been his
housekeeper.

Intimated Many Marriages.
In the hearing before Judge Udwards
In the desertion case of Elizabeth A.
O'Hoyle against James J. Q'Boyle, of
the South Side, the defense attemptel
to Justify Its offense by showing that
the plaintiff was a very much mauled
woman.
TheO'Boles were married March 22,
189S, and lived together a year less a
day. Prior to their marriage they lived
together In Philadelphia for about a
year, and the marriage, according to
the husband's story, was to escape
prosecution threatened by hlswife for
a certain offense and Its co-ielntlve Im
pending offense.
When they secuted a marriage license
here, Mrs. O'HojIe stated that she had
been mairled befoie to ono James
Chester, of 313 Oakford court, and later
of Poi Hand, Oregon, and that Chester
was dead.
Now she says that sho was never
mauled to Chester and that while she
believes him dead, sho avers she only
told the maniage license clerk that she
bad heaid he was dead, and did not
state positively that he was. Chester,
sho says, was only brought Into tho
case because she had lived with him
as his housekeeper and had to be
known as Mis. Chester. Her Intending
husband wanted tho matter set straight
and as the most convenient wuy out of
it she proceeded with the application
as if sho icilly was Mis. Chester. At
that time, she also pioduced a letter
pui polling to be fioni Maltha Chester,
her pseudo-husband's sister, stating
Chester had been killed In Washington
bv a falling tiee and that his lemalns
had been hiought to Richmond, Indi
ana, and there interrcM.
Tho defense opened Its case by pre
senting the copy of a marriage certifi
cate issued by K. A. Slocum, a Justice
of the peace of Clarke county, Wash
ington, dated May 19, 1S91, In which
James Chester and L. L. riemlng ap
peared as groom and bildo, respect
ively. Mis. 0'HoIe denied that she was tho
biide In question, or that she had over
been In Claike county, "Washington.
She had heard Chester say, however,
that he was mauled to a girl named
L. L. Fleming In Clarko county.'Wash
Ington, and that he supposed sho was
dead, but didn't know for sure.
Her owh name, she admitted, was
Kennedy, but her Initials weie "L A.,"
Lllza Ann. Fho also admitted that she
was sometimes addressed as Lottie,
and further that sho was In Portland,
Oregon, In tho early '90s with Chester.
Clarko county, Washington. It was

Chestei's sister she was referied to as
"Lottie."
She denied that she knew a man
named Arnold, or that she had passed
as Mrs. Arnold, at Bolsby's boarding
house, on Franklin avenue, or that she
had ever been mauled to a man named
Kennedy, though she admitted she had
a young daughter who was known by
tho nanio of Kennedy.
In concluding Its case tho defense
produced a letter fiom Mai thu Chester,
of Richmond, Indiana, denying that
her biother, Jim Chester, the husband
of Lottlo Fleming Chester, had been
bulled In Richmond or thut his family
In Chester knew nnythlng of his where
abouts. The letter pioduced by Mis.
O'Bojle, and purporting to bo fiom
Maitha Chester, was btauded as u for

that sho had had any correspondence
whatever with Lottlo or Mis. O'Boyle,
as she Is known.
