WHAT HAS BECOMB
OF WITNESS CASPAR
County Detective Leyshon Believes
Ho Is Being Kept Out of Way
by Friends of Mrs. Rusnock.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
Is dissatisfied over the results of Cor
oner Roberts' Inquest In tho cose of
Michael Husnock, of Mnrshwood, who
died at the Lackawanna hospital,
Sundfiy, of scalds received Friday,
Aug. 17, In the boarding house of his
cousin, John Rusnock.
In spite of tho fact that tho coroner's
jury found that Rusnock's scalds wore
inflicted by the victim himself, who,
several witnesses testified, seized the
kettle and splashed the water. De
tective Leyshon declares himself of
the opinion that Mrs. John Rusnock,
the boarding mistress, threw the water
on him.
Detective Leyshon states that from
evidence ho has accumulated, ho learns
that Rusnock was In a drunken state
and quarreled with the woman about
his board bill. After harsh words had
passed between tho two, Rusnock
stiuck the boarding mistress In the
hand with a shovel, which so Infuriat
ed her that she seized a kettle of
boiling water from the stove, and re
treated with this to the head of the
kitchen stair case.
Rusnock staggered nfter her and at
tempted to go up the steps. Ono of
the other boarders, whose name Is Cas
par, tried to prevent him from as
cending, hut Rusnock broke away
from him, and in attempting to ap
proach Mrs. Rusnock, she raised tho
kettle nnd poured Its contents over
him. Caspar, who was standing near
by, also received a bad scald.
Detective Leyshon banked upon Cas
par's appearance at the Inquest and
subsequent hearing before 'Squire
Cummlngs, of Olyphant, at which Mrs.
Rusnock was acquitted.
Caspar did not appear, however, and
all effort to locate him Is In vain,
which leads Detective Leyshon to sus
pect that friends of Mrs. Rusnock are
concealing this Important witness.
Rusnock, while being treated at the
Lackawanna hospital, made occasional
remarks which led all connected with
the institution to the belief that It
was Mrs. Rusnock who was the cause
of his scalds.
TO INSPECT M'NALLY PROPERTY
Controller Will Send Two Business
and Two Real Estate Men.
Controller Howell yesterday decided
that instead of sending one real estate
man down to the Sixth watd to In
spect the McNally property, over tho
price of which there has been such a
dispute, he will send two and two
prominent business men also.
If these decide that the property
Is wot th what the school board Is pay
in for it, the controller will counter
sign the warrant for tho first pay
ment and If they place a lesser valua
tion on it he will Insist that the bill
be cut down to their figure.
PATTEN COMMITTED TO JAIL.
He Is Seriously Accused by His Wife
and Daughter.
George W. Patten, of Olyphant, was
committed to the county Jail yesterday
by Alderman Howe, on the charges of
desertion and 111 treatment, preferred
by his wife, Mrs. Mary A. Patten, and
his daughter, Alice M. Patten.
Among other things It was charged
that on one occasion. Patten threat
ened to burn the fnmlly residence

wise abused them both.

not be done In that time. Attorney C.
C. Donovan, who represents the par

that while only 1G4 votes were cast for
the defeated candidate for tho office

Upon this Bhowing Judge Archbald
refused to grant the extension asked,
believing that tho contest had gone

tho secretary of the Rushbrook Coal
company, and E. A. Coray, of New
York, director of tho company, were

that he never advanced any money
to the company. There will be an
other hearing today.

BIGGEST BATCH OF
ARRESTS FOR ONE DAY
Yesterday Was a Record Breaker in
the Crusade Against Speakeasies
Under tho New Ordinance.
Yesterday was a gala day for Mayor
Molr In his war on tho speakeasies,
and In no twenty-four hours since the
crusade was started has so much been
done towards checking the evil. His
honor opened the day by setting the
ball rolling In police court, when he
gave a hearing to and fined Patrick
Kelly. This was the beginning, and
at the end of tho day four more ar
rests were made and $100 added to
tho city treasury, ono of tho prisoners
entering ball for a hearing this morn
ing. Kelly resides on West Market street
and several complaints were entered
about his place. On several occa
sions officers visited his house with a
warrant, but never succeeded In find
In him home, being always met with
the Ingenious excuse that ho was In
Omaha, St. Louis and other far-away
cities, whereas In reality ho was not
more than a block or two from the
house. Wednesday night Patrolman
Amasa Palmer visited Kelly, attired la
citizen's clothes, nnd escorted him to
tho central station. Mayor Molr fined
him $50 yesterday morning.
n tho afternoon, John Morgan, of
325 South Keyser avenue, was nrrested
and arraigned before Mayor Molr. Ha
was fined $50 and costs, whereat he re
marked that ho had heart failure. At
first It was thought that this was
merely meant for a bid for his honor a
sympathy, ns Morgan pleaded hard for
the minimum penalty, and declared
he could not pay $50 and would there
fore have to go to tho county Jail.
It was later discovered that Morgan
Is a practically helpless man, as h"
Is a sufferer from heart failure and
unable to do any manual labor. Mayor
Molr then lowered the flno to $10
which Is the minimum penalty, an 1
tho money was paid over.
John Qulnn. of 810 South Keyser ave
nue, was arrested last night In
Mounted Officer Joseph Bloch, nnd en
tered ball for his nppeurance at a
healing this morning. John Jenkins,
of 2fi35 Jickson street, and James
Blacks, of 2653 Frlnk street, wero ar
raigned before Alderman Mlllnr last
night, on wnrrants Issued nt tho In
stance of Chief Hobllng, charging
them with keeping tippling houses.
At the hearing Jenkins became Im
pudent, and made some Insulting re
marks to Alderman Millar. Both men
were fined $50 apleco and the costs.
Several more arrests will be mado

today, and tonight Owen Moran, who
was arrested two weeks ago, will bo
given a hearing by Alderman Millar.
Mayor Molr Is highly elated over
the results of his crusade. Ho re
marked to a Tribune man yesterday:
"Yes, on the whole, I think we've
done petty well. We have only done
two weeks' actual work, as I was out
of the city ono whole week since tho
ordinance was passed, and during my
absenco nothing was done.
"A thing which I notice with pleas
ure now, Is tho fact that the peoplo
of the city themselves, are beginning
to take a lively Interest In tho war on
the speakeasies, and to come In and
report any cases that como under their
observation, and even to accumulato
evidence against them. This, of course,
saves the city tho expense of ferreting
out tho holes-In-thc-wall, and wo
certainly appreciate the action of citi
zens in thus nldlng us.
'"You will notice that tho pollco
themselves aro not taking any active
part In theso arrests. I do not think
that we can nfford to let the patrol
men lo this work, as they have enough
to do already, and while they aro ex
pected to report any speakeasies they
como across, still wc are using special
officers, almost entirely for the ar
rests. "In nearly nil of tho cases so far,
tho persons urrcsted have paid their
fines. Two have been committed to
tho county Jail, and one has re
ceived the minimum penalty."
