BOWMAN AGAIN ARRESTED.
Acquitted of Murder, He Is Charged
with Aggravated Assault and
Battery on John Knelrcm.
William Bowman, of Petersburg, who
was tried befora Judge Archbald dur
ing tho early part of the week, on the
charge of the murder of John Knelrem,
of Paul street, Petersburg, and who
was acquitted, was reanestod yester
day by Constable M. Kelrsteln, on n
warrant lsued by Alderman Myron
Kasson, at tho lnstnucc of Mrs. Mary
Knelrem, widow of John Knelrem,
charging him with aggravated as
sault and battery on her late hus
band. He waived a hearing nnd entered
bnll in tho sum of $800. Michael Mc
laughlin, of Petersburg, became his
bondsman.
As will bo icmembered, on January
C, 1900, Knell em and Bowman had a
quarel, In which Bowman, who was
Intoxicated, stabbed Knelt em eight
times with his knife. He wns arrested
at the time on tho charge of felon
ious wounding, and felx weeks later
Knelrem dldotl. The result of the In
quest conducted by Coroner J. J. Rob
erts Indicated that tho wounds had
nothing to do with the death, which
was due to imitation of tho heart.
Tho grand Jury, however, Indicted
Bowman for murder. At the trial,
Bowman was acquitted on the evidence
of Coroner Roberts, called by the com
monwealth. KNIGHTS WILL ENTERTAIN.

JAMES NOLAN
KILLED HIS FATHER
THAT IS THE DECLARATION OF
CORONER'S JURY.
It Mot in Office of Alderman S. S.
Jones, at Carbondale, and Heard
Evidence of Such Witnesses as Had
Any Knowledge of the Facts in
the Case Young Nolan, Who 'Is
in the County Jail, Persists That
Killing Was Done in Self-Defense.
A coroner's Jury decided last night
that James Nolan killed his. father,
John Nolan, In Carbondale oh the
night of April 11.
Voting Nolan, It will be tcmembeied,
is now In the county Jail awaiting
the action of the next grand Jury on
his case.
Tho Inquest last night was conducted
In the oflk'C of Alderman S. 8. Jones
by Coroner J. J. Roberts, Drs. Kelly
and Gills testified ns to the man's In
juries nnd how they had caused his
death. Patrick Nolan, a brother of
the accused man, took the stand and
said that ho had conversed with his
brother in tho county Jail on Tues
day and that the latter said he had
struck his father in self-defense. He
said that his brother would not say
how tho quarrel started or anything
further about the incident.
Alexander McDonald, a son-in-law
of the deceased man, testified as to
hearing the quarrel in tho- yard and
finding Mr. Nolan a few minutes af-
'terwards some twenty paces from the
house. He saw young James Nolan
running "away In tho direction of the
railroad tracks at the same time.
Witness further testified that he
found a gun in the yard with the
stock broken nnd had heard It said
that the old man had run upstairs
after this. The gun, he said, was al
ways kept under Mr. Nolan's bed.
It will be icmembered that young
Nolan contended on tho night of tho
murder that his father had struck
him with a gun.
Martin Casey, who also arrived on
the scene a few moments nfter the
incident, wns sworn, but he knew
nothing further than Mr. McDonald.
Tho Jury finally decided upon the fol
lowing verdict:
"From tho evidence, wc tho Jury
In this Inquest, are convinced that the
fatal blow received by John Nolan
was indicted by his bon, James Nolan,
with some blunt Instrument and that
his death was duo to the said blow.
(Signed) J. F. McAndrew, E. J. Neary,
M. F. Norton, W. D. Evans, E. J. Mc
Hale and F. H. Jenkins."
There having been no witnesses to
the affair It would seem that young
Nolan has a hard fight ahead of him
to prove that he acted In self-defense.
It has not yet been discovered with
what kind of a weapon the blow was
Inlllctcd.

SCUFFLE RESULTED
IN SOPCZAK'S DEATH
JOHN KUSBA IS NOW UNDER
ARREST.
The Men Were Employed nt the
Blast Eurnnce nnd Yesterday En
gaged in a Scuffle OVer an Iron
'Hook, Which Both DeairodIm
mediately After the Scuffle, Sop
czak Fell Backward and Broke
His Neck He Was Married and
Has a Wife and Five Children.
John Kusba, of 1012 Klrst court, Is
a prisoner nt police headquartrs, nnd
Joseph Sopcznk, of Stone avenue, Is
dead, us the result of a scuflle, in
which tho two men encaged yester
day mornlnff at the blast furnace,
where they were employed.
Coroner J. J. Roberts yesterday ex
amined tho, remains nnd stated that
the man's neck was broken. Kusba
will be given a hearing In police court
this morning by Mayor Molr.
The affair occurred while both men
were at work at the pig beds, as they
nre called, In which tho molten iron
runs Into forms, and Foioman -Daniel
Dempsey and several of the workmen
were eye-witnesses of the entire affair.
The two men were good friends,
having had no previous quarrel, and
having eaten their lunches together
about ten minutes before the accident.
In handling the heavy blocks of Iron,
long Iron hooks are used, and the two
worklngmen had a dispute over tho
procuring ot one, both claiming it,
which resulted In Kusba's taking pos
session of It.
THEY GRAPPLED.
Sopc?ak then pushed Kusba, who
grappled with him. The latter was the
younger man of the two, nnd much
tho stronger physically, and In tho
scuffle he pushed his opponent about
thirty feet, and Sopczak then arose,
and stumbling, wheeled around and
fell, striking on his head, between
two of the pigs of Iron.
Foreman Daniel Dempsey hastened
to his assistance, bringing him water,
nnd tried to make him comfortable.
Sopczak took a deep draught of water,
and a few minutes later died, without
any death strugle or any apparent
pain.
Kusba left the blast furnace and
rapidly walked In the direction ot his
home Superintendent Lee, of tho
woiks, uolttlcd the pollce.nnd Sergeant
Delter and Patrolmen Lonn Day and
John Puestcr Immediately left with
the patiol wagon for the scene. When
they arlved there they found that
Kusbx was gone and Patrolmen Day
and Puester started after him on foot.
He had a big start, and the two olll
cers went In pursuit at the top of
their speed nnd on Mattes street, bo
low River street, they came upon him.
He did not offer the least resistance,
however, and scemqd unaware of the
fact that Sonczak was dead. He was
taken to the central police station In
the patrol wagon.
At the blast furnace, when Sopczak
fell, tho general opinion was that It
was duo to heart failure or a sud
den attack of apoplexy. Foreman
Dempsey said to a Tribune, man: "I
saw the entire affair and there was
not a blow struck tn it. Neither did
Kusba. grapple him by the throat. Ho
simply seized him by the shoulder and
pushed him backward. Both men were
good, honest, hard-working follows.
Kusba has only worked here about six
months, but has never before had any
trouble of any sort, and Is well liked.
Sopczak was a quiet, industrious man,
harmless and good tempered."
The same story was told by othcra
who were eye-wltncsses of the quar
rel. Coroner Roberts Impanelled a Jury
In the case and will hold an Inquest.
Kubba is twenty-eight years of age
nnd unmarried. Sopczak was about
thirty-three years old, and lived
on Stone avenue. A wife and Ave
children survive him. He was of me
dium height and slender physlcque, be
ing far from a match for his burly an
tagonist. WILL ATTEND CONVENTION.
