NEGLIGENCE IS CHARGED
Inquest Conducted by Coroner Rob
erts in the Case of the Murray
Boy, Killed(at the Holden.
Coroner Iloherts conducted nn
quest last nlt-lit In his olllco In
In-
the
ca.se of 1'atrlck Murray, the 13-ycnr-old
hoy who wus killed ut tho Holden
mine last Friday by beln run over
by u loaded coal car. Two important
things were developed at tho Inquest,
which will require the Immediate at
tention of the mine inspector. One
was that the dangerous practice of
takltiK boys rom the breaker to pull
the loaded cars from the chutes Is In
vogue at the Holden, and the other
Is that parents are In the habit of
falsely certifying to the ages of the
boys who are thus employed.
The mine laws require that boys
must be 12 years of age before they
can be employed in the breaker, and
It was shown by the testimony of one
of them mat he has worked in the
Pyne, Taylor and Holden breakers up
wards of four years nnd Is not yet tho
required age. Xearly all of the boys
who were sworn testified to ages be
low 12 years.
Foreman AVIlllam 13. Owen, who was
also swot n, testified that he had In
his possession certificates from par
ents of the boys, certifying their ages
within the required limit. It was also
brought out In the testimony that the
reason the company refrains from us
ing animals Instead of human beings
to pull the ears Is clue to the fact that
the harness on the mules Is too easily
broken.
From the gist of the testimony It
was gleaned that the Murray boy, to
gether with a number of his compan
ions, had been taken from the breaker
to pull tile cars. This was done by
means of a rope, upon which the boys
were pulling when the accident oc
curred. They were fooling nnd play
ing to Imitate a lire company when
Murray fell. The car was being push
ed also from behind by several men.
Before the boy had an opportunity
to recover from the fall nnd get out
of harm's way, the car ran over his
body and crushed out his life.
The witnesses who testified were:
William It. Owen, foreman at the
mine; John Murray, father of the boy
who was killed; John Illgglns, John
Powell, Thomas Moffat, Thomas Wil
liams, Samuel Uarley, Thomas Proc
tor and Richard Rabbins, employes nt
the colliery.
Tho father contends that the com
pany was negligent in taking the boys
from the breaker to perform such
work, and the witnesses told substan
tially the circumstances ns described
above.
Mine Inspector Prythereh was pres
ent and cross-examined the witnesses,
and Attorney John H. Wilson appeared
in behalf of the company.
The jury, after much deliberation,
rendered the following;
Wo find that the aforesaid Patrick Murray ramo
to his death by being accidentally crushed be
neath the wheels of a gondola car. We further
express our cli-.ipproal of the practice of mov
ing cars b) pine log bo.es before thcni to pull
upon a lope, and cetuuie the otilciali of the com
pirn foi allowing such practice.

MILL PULLED OFF
IN BANKER'S BARN
Four Fierce Rounds Between Local
Lightweights in a Stable in
West Scranton.
Thomas Dowllng nnd Howard Iloth
mol, two local lightweights who aspire
to ascend the pugilistic ladder of
fame, fought a real prize tight last
night within a stone's throw of tho
West Scranton police station.
The former Is employed ns a coach
man by Frnnklln Howell, who owns
n well-lighted stable In the rear of
his home on Scranton street.
In this stable tho crowd of sports
gathered to the number of about
twenty-five, each having paid an ad
mission to the scrap. Tho fight was
to have been ten rounds, Dowllng
agreeing to stop Itothmel within that
limit or forfeit $20, ns against $10
posted by Itothmel's friends. The
light ended In the fouith round, when
tho referee gave his decision in favor
of Ilothmcl, on a foul.
William Jenkins ncted ns referee,
and tho fighters were scconeled by
Louis Franklin and William Gallagher.
The bout was patronized by a number
of prominent young men, whoso names
would not look well In print In connec
tion with such an nffalr.
Several other scraps have also been
pulled off In Howell's stables, under
the nusplces of Dowllng's club.
JUDGE WAS REALLY SORRY.
Would Like to Have Stretched
the
Law, but Couldn't.
Oeorge II. IJeeby, aged twenty-five,
ot Peckvllle, and Alma Coleman, aged
nineteen, of Ulakely, applied for a
marriage license to Clerk of the Court
Daniels yesterday.
The bride-elect being under age the
aopllcatlon hu 1 to be refused. The
y.iung couple were In a sorry plight.
Miss Coleman Is an orphan and with
out a guardian, und consequently could
not secure the required "patent's or
guardian's" consent. "Have a guard
Ian appointed," suggested Attorney A.
W. Hertholf, when tho young peoplo
appealed to him. Mrs. Drown, with
whom Miss Coleman llveid, agieed to
become guardian and give the consent
which Clerk Daniels awaited.
Judge Kelly was appealed to. With
regret In every syllable, he told thu
hopeful young people that he must
needs refuse tho young lady's appli
cation. "We can't appoint guardians
in vacation. It Is only during n ses
sion of court that we are authorized
to exercise this power," said the Judge,
after he had tried vainly to figure out
some way of getting around tho ob
stacle. "Awfully sorry," said tho Judge,
"but I guess you will have to wait."
They concluded to wait, and the
Judge promised to make the apullca
tlon the first order of business wher,
court convenes September 10.

Whereas, The earnings of mine workers have

TWO OF HIS
ARRESTED.

Serious Crimes, Arrested by Chief
of Pollco Robling nnd Arraigned
Before Alderman Millar Robbed
n Jeweler, Broko Into Two Stores,
Picked Pockets and Otherwlso
Comported Themselves Unlaw
fullyTo Be Given a Further
Examination This Morning.
"Slaughter" Grnham, chief of the re
nowned Yellow Kid gang of Hennessy
court, at the very mention of whose
name tho stoutest patrolman Instinct
ively grips his club tighter, "Slaugh
ter" Graham and two of his trustiest
henchmen, "Hungry Harry" Hill nnd
"Happy Harry" Allen, were arrested
yesterday by Chief of Pollco Itobllng
and City Detective Molr.
Lnst night thoy were nrralgned bo
fore Alderman Millar, charged with
stenllng four watches from the- show
case of Jeweler Tobey, of Penn ave
nue, last Saturday night; with at
tempting to burglarize Florey &
Brooks' sporting goods store, Sunday,
August 19; with breaking Into the
Scranton Carpet company's store, on
Wyoming avenue, nnd removing about
$25 worth of property the same after
noon, and of several pocket-plcklng
cases.
The three desperate criminals aver
age thirteen summers apiece, nnd nie
all residents of AVest Scranton. There
are other mwnbers of tho gang and
they, too, will be arrested.
"Slaughter" Graham, the youthful
chief, derives his ferocious nickname
from the fact that long ngo, while yet
a child, he followed gentler paths, and
worked In an establishment where
bovine nnlmals dally lost their lives.
Graham's lofty spirit soared above
this, however, and he soon left tho
place.
Young Allen entered ball yesterday
afternoon, but the chief and "Hungry"
Hill were held in $S00 ball, and taken
to the central station for further ex
amination this morning.
GIVKN A HEARING.
The doughty chief and his lieuten
ant were arraigned before Alderman
Millar at 7.30 o'clock. The four
watches stolen from Tobey's show
case, Saturday night, which wns broken
open by the terrible "Yellow Kids, '
were found In the possession of the
chief yesterday afternoon, and this
fixed tho guilt upon the boy burglars.
Chief of Police Robling nlso re
counted the manner In which the gang
attempted to rob Florey & Brooks.
They entered from the rear, climbing
up tho wall by moans of an Iron grnt
Ing, and effecting an entrance by using
a broken window. Then, when In the
store, they were seized by men from
the street car bain, who had watched
the performance. Their captois con
veyed them to the barn, where they
maae "siaugnter " anti tne otners go
through a com so of humble, npologetic
actions, after which they set them
loose.
While tho full extent of his Ignominy
was being exposed the brigand chief
stood erect, his head proudly thrown
back snivelling gently.
"When the premises were searched,'
Chief Itobllng then continued, "an
amount of red thread was found on
the floor, which one of tho boy burg
lars evidently dropped."
Here "Slaughter" started, In spite
of himself, and knitting his brows
darkly, said Ha!"
The chief of police continued: "That
same afternoon the Scranton Carpet
company's store on Wyoming avenue
was entered from the rear, and a large
amount of property removed, among
which was a quantity of red thread,
which tallied with that found In
Florey & Hrooks' place."
PLAIN "KID" FOR THE NONCE.
Alderman Millar then proceeded to
cross-examine "Slaughter" regarding
the Tobey burglary. Then a remark
able thing happened. The bold Invader
of society, the embryo Jesse James,
suddenly turned Into a little boy, who
trcrnbllngly remarked: "Hnrry Allen
told me the case was open and said I
should take tho watches."
"I am afraid you are k. little liar,
my son," Alderman Millar blandly In
terrupted. "You do not need any pre
ceptor In the gentle art of thieving."
Chief Itobllng then mentioned somo
Instances wheie the brigand chief was
wanted for picking pockets, and De
tectlvo Molr chimed In with: "Yes,
and how about tho lame man who sells
trinkets near Samter's store? What
did you do to him, boy? How much
did you steal there?"
"I took four pair of cuff buttons,"
said tho brigand proudly, his chest ex
panding with pride. "An' me father's
wealing a pair of them now." ho
added.
"Have you ever committed murder?"
queried Alderman Millar anxiously at
this Juncture. "You know you are only
accused of burglary, robbery and
pocket picking so far,"
The brigand chief's eye Hashed with
Joy at this compliment to his prowess,
but he deigned no reply. During tho
night he nnd "Hungry" Hill were In
carcerated In the dungeons In the city
hall, where they congratulated each
other on the advance they had already
mado In their chosen profession.
