CONSPIRED TO
KILL HIS FATHER
Concluded from Page 6.
thought I could thrash a man. 'Daro
you kill n man,' he said then, and I
answered 'yes' If there's enough money
In it. 'There's $3,000 in it,' says Ever
hart, and after that we went to the
Green Ridge hotel. There Everhart
told mo he had reason to believe
that Dr. Everhart intended marrying
again, nnd making a will In his wife's
favor, leaving her all his money,
which would leave liltn out In tho
cold. After that we left the hotel, and
Everhart then explained to mo how I
was to enter the house on Franklin
avenue, and in what manner I was to
escape from It, showing mo how I
could leave by a back exit, nnd got
out through the alley.
"The deed was to bo committed be
tween the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock
Saturday night. Tho Idea was for mo
to go to the house and ring the bell.
I was to enter the ofllco and have Dr.
Everhart come downstairs on the pre
text that a man living on Mulberry
street had broken his leg, and ho was
wanted to attend to him. When he
camo downstairs, I was to kill him."
"What was tho weapon to bo used?"
asked Attorney O'Brien.
"That knife," said Lewis," pointing
to the butcher knife."
"Did Everhart give it to you?" was
the next query.
SHARPENED THE KNIFE.
"He did Ho said ho had stolen it
from Horn's satoon In North Scranton.
It was terribly sharp, 11 nd Everhart
said he had sharpened It himself and
showed mo a cut on his thumb which
he had inflicted In doing It. Everhart
also pave me that revolver, but I said
I pulerred a knife to do the work
with, but i took tho revolver as I was
nfrald to leave It In Everharfs pos
session." Attorney O'Brien hers took fiom tho
package before mentioned a piece of
paper, and showing it to the witness
said: "Did Everhart give this to you?"
"Ho did," answered the witnes.?
stoutly.
"At'orney Ballentlne he-e took tho
paper, the note In question, and
showed it to Everhart. The latter
Hushed slightly, nnd he was unabio to
hold the paper steadily. Attorney
O'Brien brought It Into evidenco and
read It. It was as follows:
Scranton, t'a., June 18.
One day from date I promise to pay F. H.
Lewis $5,000, without any defalcation. I liereliy
wahe all redemption hwa of the state of Pcnn
tylsania. (Signed) K. K. Eerhart.
In return for this, Lewis claimed to
have given a Judgment note for the
amount' if he did not comply with the
specified conditions. The witness then
resumed his naratlve, and went on as
follows:
"I was to do tho deed Saturday
night, according to our agreement. I
went home, told my wife what had
happened, and arose early Sunday
morning. I then went to the homo of
P. P. Carter, whom I know to be a
warm personal friend of Dr. I. F.
Everhart, and deposited with him the
revolver, butcher knife and note. I
had previously, like Saturday night,
gone to Dr. Everharfs homo to give
him the articles, but was unable to get
Into the house.
NAMED MONDAY NIGHT.
"The next time I saw Everhart was
Monday morning, when I told him that
I did not do the deed, as I could not
get Into tho house. He told me to go
again Monday night1, and I said I
would. Everhart said that Monday
night he would go to the Turkish
baths, to be able to establish an alibi
and clear himself from all compllcty
In the deed.
"The next time we met was Tuesday
night at the Luzerne house In Provi
dence. I there met him, in order to
gain evidence to prove his guilt, hav
ing with me as witnesses John McDon
ald and a man named Myers, two de
tectives. The next time I saw him
was last night. Everhart was almost
frantic and exclaimed to me, 'Kill
him! for God's pake kill him!'"
Attorney Ballentlne then began the
cross examination. Lewis admitted on
being closely questioned that he had
previously done detectve work, but
said he had never been In such an Im
portant case as this one.
"Have you received any money for
what you have done?" was the next
question.
"Everhart has paid me some small
sums, but I haven't received any other
remuneration. I have been promised
no pay for my share In the transac
tion," answered Lewis.
"Do you expect any pay," Insisted
his examiner.
"Well," ho admitted reluctantly, "I
certainly think I ought ro receive
something for my trouble."
NOT LIVING AT HOME.
Attorney O'Btlen here interposed n
attention, asking the witness it Ever
hart had ever mentioned anything to
him of the relations existing between
him and his father. Attorney Ballen
tlne objected to tun question but af
ter considerable argument was over
ruled and Lewis answered. Everhart
told me that In the last six weeks he
had spent one night In his father's
home, being absent nil that while on
account of trouble with him, concern
ing the Rlnsland episode. Everhart
paid he needed money badly and
showed me three quarters and a few
pennies, which he said were all that
was between hlin and destruction. A
note was brought to my house by Will
Horn from him, yesterday morning,
arranging for a meeting with him."
"When Everhart had these inter
views with you, was he drunk or so
ber?'' nsked Attorney Ballentlne,
"At tho first meeting, Saturday
night, he was as sober as you or I,"
answered the witness, "at one of our
other encounters, he was pretty badly
Jagged, but at the others was appar
ently sober."

"How long havo you known Ever
hart," nsked Attorney Ballentlne.
"About ten years," was answered.
"Wero you on intimate terms with
him?" asked the counsel for tho de
fense. "Why yes, we were Intimate."
"Had you seen him frequently of
lato?"
LEWIS HESITATED.
Tho witness hcsltntcd here, and on
being pushed to the point said that
previous to Saturday night's meeting
lie hud not seen Everhart for quite a
long period.
"How long?" was asked, and Lewis
finally admitted that It was possibly
five months.
William Horn, of North Scranton,
son of tho proprietor of Horn's hotel,
In which Everhart and Lewis had had
frequent consultatons, was then called
to the stand, nnd testified to carrying
a note to Lewis yesterday morning
from Everhart, and carrying back one
In return. Two pieces of crumpled pa
per were put Into evidence, which pur
ported to be the two communications.
The one read "Meet me nt 2 o'clock at
Horn's hotel. Signed Mud." Lewis'
answer was to the effect that he would
meet him nt 9.30 o'clock at the Dela
ware and Hudson station, nnd signi
fied that "the party was In town,"
there being nn understanding that pre
viously In the week Dr. Everhart was
not lu tho city.
"The commonwealth rests here," said
Attorney O'Brien, after the counsel for
the defense had finished tho cross-ex-umluatlon
of the witness. "Wo ask,
he continued, "that ball bo fixed In
this case, commensurate with the en
ormity of the crime."
"It is Just for it to be commensu
rate," said Attorney Ballentlne, "but
wo protest on Its being exorbitant."
Attorney O'Brien suggested that the
ball bo fixed at a sum not less than
$.",000, and Alderman Kasson then
placed It at that figure.
NOTHING TO SAY'.
Mr. Everhart, when seen by a Trib
une man, wns very reticent. Ho main
tained n sullen silence, and when
nsked what ho had to say regarding
the charge said:
"At present I have nothing to say;
nothing whatever.
Investigation by n Tribune reporter
corroborated Lewis In one of hli state
ments, namely, that Everhart went to
the Turkish bath Monday night, with
the presumed purpose, as ho himself
stated It, to establish an alibi.
The attache of the bath who at
tended to him said he came In Mon
day night about 9.30 or 9.45 o'clock, and
after taking a bath went to bed, say
ing he would rest for a few hours and
then go home. He did not get up till
8 o'clock in the morning. Ho was very
drunk, but further than that nothing
is recalled of his condition or de
meanor. HEARING IN THE
RINSLAND CASE
While Everhart was being detained
In Detective Barring's office, awaiting
a hearing before the alderman, a mor
bid crowd thronged the arbitration
room to hear the cross-examination of
the witnesses in the $15,000 damage suit
which Phil Rlnsland is prosecuting
against Everhart for alienating his
former wife's affections.
Miss M. E. Rlnsland, "sister of the
plaintiff, was the only Important wit
ness. Miss Rlnsland stated that her friend
Healey waited on Phil Rlnsland last
March and asked him to consent to his
wife and sister accompanying him to
New York, where he was going on a
business trip, and whore, incidentally,
he expected to meet a party of New
England relatives, among whom would
be a number of ladles. Phil said that
as long as his wife was to go along,
he saw nothing wrong in it, and gave
the consent.
She then went on to relate at length
what took place In the three different
hotels at which they stopped. Ever
hart met them in New York the first
day and stayed with them during
