WILSON SAID JURORS
WERE INFLUENCED
Juror John J. Coyne Overheard Him
mid Called the Attention of Judge
Cameron to the Matter.
John J. Coyne, of Miuooka, who Is
one of this week's panel of juiois,
asked permission yesterday moining
to make a statement to Judge D.ivid
Camei on, In No. ".
Mr. Coyne was one of the juiois
who passed upon the case of Thomas
Norton, charged with selling liquor
without a license, which was tried
Tuesday. Mr. Coyne said ho over
heard Mr. Wilson say in the corridor
to several men that some of the Nor
ton jurors had been tampeied with.
Not tuslrlng to rest under this Im
putation, Sir. Coyno demanded thai
Sir. Wilson be compelled to retract
his words or make them specific. It
was a reflection on every one of the
jurors, Sir. Coyne said.
Judge Cameron decided that lnas
mueh as no charges had been made
to tho court about the jurois, he would
not be jiistllled lit going Into a con
sideration of corridor gossip.
Mr. AVIIson, when seen later in the
day by a Tribune man, said: "I was
not in court when Sir. Coyne asked
that I be brought in. I can say that I
am noL given to making rash state
ments and am always prepared to
stand by what I say."

STORY TOLD
BY NERUSHAS
IS HE THE VICTIM OF A
SPIRAOYP
CON.
Evidence Indicates That nn Effort Is
Being Made to Fasten a Crime ot
Which He Is Innocent Upon Him,
or That H1b Friends Are Desper
ately Trying to Save Him from
His Dhngerous Position Attor
neys' Addresses to the Jury Today.
Simon Neruslms, who Is on trial for
the killing of John Stlsktm nt the Int
tor's houso In Lloyd street, this city,
on Starch 18, 1896, was on the stand
yesterday, nnd denied most emphati
cally that ho committed the murder.
He was boarding with Mr. nnd Sirs.
Andrew Sillier nt that lime, and wont
to bed soon after 9 o'clock on the
night in nuestlon. ITn did not -ret un
until tho following morning.
Charles Sillier, a brother of the prds
ecutor, who was called in rebuttal by
tho. commonwealth, ndmltted Hint he
had endeavored to get Nerushas at
torneys to throw up tho ensp nnd de
sort him. All tho testimony Is iow
In, and this morning Attorney W. R.
Lewis will address the jury for the
defense, nnd Assistant District Attor
ney Thomas for tho commonwealth.
Tho case has developed the fact that
either a plot has been hatched to send
Nerushns to tho gallows, or he and
his witnesses are doing some mon
strously magnificent swearing. Thers
is no middle ground where the Avlt
nesses for tho commonwealth and do
fenso can meet. Their stories are dia
metrically opposed one to the other.
' James While was the first witness
called at yesterday morning's pesslon.
White was a lodger In the Sllaku
home, nnd stated that he went to bed
about 8 o'clock and heard no noise
or scuflle during the night. He was
awakened at S In the morning, when
ho heard some one walk pat his bed
room door.
A RROTHKIt'S TESTISIONV.
Anthony Sillier, a brother ot the
prosecutor, testified that at the tlnu
of the murder both Nerushns andl Le
zofsky boarded with him. About 0
o'clock on the night of the killing
Nerushns came to the house and asked
for some supper, after which he went
out, returning nt 11, and immediately,
retiring. Witness said that he saw
Lezofsky about 7 o'clock of that even
ing, and thnt he was very drunk. AVit
ness at one time charged Andrew
Gordon with perjury as to the matters
Iip had testified to in this case. Gor
don leplied that he knew his testi
mony was false, but that ho had en
deavored to help out sutler's brother,
the prosecutor.
Mrs. Anthony Sillier corroborated
her husband.
John Aran Bergen, jr., a deputy clerk
in the county commissioners' ofllce,
saw tho body of Sliskus as It lay in
the snow under the culvert about G:li
o'clock on tbe morning of March IS.
He said that he was the first man
who went up to the body, as there
were no other tracks than those madu
by witness within thirty feet of It.
He described the conditions, the posi
tion of the body and the culvert, tho
apparent purpose being to show by tlio
witness thai Sliskus was either
thrown fiom the tracks or fell through
the culvert.
John Rurtusli, who lived on Llod
street with Andrew Sillier, tho prno
cutoi, in the spring of lStni, testified
thai he was at Anthony Miller's hous,.'
on the evening of Starch 17th, to see
Nerushis. He found the defendant
there, and when ho left the defend
ant wns in bed. Joseph Ovunovitch
lived in the Sliskus home. He was not
well on the night of the alleged
tumble, and unable to sleep. He
heard no noise of any kind In the
house except about 2 to :i o'clock In
the morning, when ho heard some one
walking up the stairs.
ASSAILING GORDON.
Domlnlok Strlgus testified to a con
versatlon with Andrew Gordon In Sep
tember last, when Gordon told him
that hu did not sec Nerushas kill Slis
kus. Joseph Slajllinskl said that Gordon
told him that lor $20 he could g,-t
Nerushns out of jail, as he was not
guilty. This conversation took plao
at a stoie on Lloyd stteet soon after
the arrest, Ho also had a conversa
tion with LezofsUv the day after tho
body was found, when Lezofsky -said
that Nerushas was not guilty, but
that ho had to swear In favor of the
Slilleis, who wore against the defend
ant. Anna Ovunovitch testified than
about three months ago Andrew Gor
don caiui- to her house ftho Sliskus
Iioupo) and inquired if that was tin
place whero Sliskus was said to have
been killed. Ho wanted to know tho
location of the fiont door leading
.into the po-jlon occupied by Vw de
'censed, uud olliei details as to tho
surinunclltiex.
Simon NniusliLs, the defi'tclaut,
then took the stand. Ho told of his
tomlng to this country, of the differ
ent places where he worked, finally
came to Scranton in 1SSS. where ha
followed the dlifereut occupations In
brick yaid, etc., but principally work
ing iu mines until 1593, when ho began

f EXPECTED TROUBLE.
Sliskus came In and nkod witness
for more beol and witness sent Le
zofsky to the barn for It. Ho left
Luken's ubout 1 o'clock nnd went
home, gottlng- his dinner about ltSO.
SIIbIuis came to hoarding house
ubout 2 o'clock nnd wanted more beer,
saying that Gorskn, Miller nnd a patty
were at his house and that If nnythlng
should happen fo him (.Mishits) that
defendant should help hm.
About 4 p. m. wltnes.s diove to Slis
kus' house, leaving his horse nnd
wagon In ficnt. AVItness secured the
empty bottles from tho house nnd on
Jils way out Sirs. Leo told him not to
give them more beer. He then drove
to Roche's nnd turned in the empty
bottles, and about 6:10 p, in. drove
back to the bain and put up his horse
and fed him, going from there to hln
boarding house.
From there he went to Europe's
house nnd called on a girl there, stav
ing until about 9 o'clock, when ho
went back to Stlllor's, where he board
ed, got his supper and went to bed.
After going to bed he was awakened
by John Burnish, who wanted more
beer, but witness refused to get up.
He went to sleep and, got up about 7
o'clock ncct morning, went to his bnrn
nnd denned his horse and wngon.
About S o'clock StaJIIInskI came along
and told him that Slfokus hnd been
killed down by the culvert. He went,
down and saw the crowd around the
body, nnd supposed that Sliskus had
been struck by a train. He was told,
however, that there had been foul
play.
He went to Gerska, saw blood on his
coat, and questioned him about the
accident. AVIlness then called cor
oners attention to this blood, telllnp:
him that Gerska had been at Mishits'
the day previous. 1'pon this the cor
oner caused Oerska's airest. AVitnest.
was present at coroner's Inquest and
was sworn. He denied all conversa
tion with Lezofsky about keys or
tiouble with Sliskus, as Lezofsky tes
tified. He also denied having been
near Tripp's oroMng rind meeting
Campbell.
DENIED CONA'DRSATIONS.
On the day of his arrest he wa at
Gordon's house, having fold some Jew
ell y to Buchta prior thereto, and dur
ing the conversation Goidon had tak
en tho witness's satchel, which hi
went after. He there srold a ring lo
Sits. Gordon. Shortly afterwards he
was ai rested by Constable Smith for
disorderly conduct and assault and
battery, and while In the station house
the warrant charging him with mur
der was served. On cross-examination
an effort was mode to secure;
an admission as to conversations with
the county detective. The witness,
however, dneied having any conversa
tion with Sir. Leyshon on the day
after the killing.
Sir. Thomas endeavoied to break:
down his testimony illative to his
whereabouts on the 17th and ISth of
SInrch, 1S96, but the defendant nd
herred to his original testimony. At
this point the defense rested.
The commonwealth then called
Charlie Stiller, brother of the prose
cutor, who stated that defendant ad
mitted to witness that he had killed
Sliskus, but wanted witness to use
his Influence with his brother Andrew
to withdraw the prosecution. AVitness
admitted on cross-examination that
he had endeavored to influence lh
defendant's attorneys not to act for
him in this case. He told Sir. Lewis,
the Republican candidate for district
attorney, thnt he would be defeated If
ho took the case.
County Detective Leyshon was also
called In rebuttal, and Sir. and Sirs.
Anthony Sillier In stir-rebuttal. They
testified that Nerushas was In bed
in their house when John .Burlu.sh
came for mote beer about 11 o'clock
on the night oil the killing.
COMMITTEE WAITED
ON MR. SILLIMAN
Representatives of Motormens' and
Conductors' Union Yesterday
Presented Grievances.
General Manager SHlimnu. of the
Scranton Railway company, was wait
ed upon yesterday by a committee of
six, representing the Slotormen's and
Conductors' union, who presented to
hlin a list of grievances, which were
put before the union at a meeting
held early yesterday morning In Econ
omy hall.
They weie framed by a special com
mittee appointed for the purpose at
last week's meeting of the association,
and "more pay and shoiter hours"
expresses the gist of their demands.
The committee was in conference with
Manager Silllman from about M
o'clock until late In the afternoon, The
company will consider the men's re
quests and give an answer within a
few days.
One of the principal concessions de
sired by the street oar men Is a change
In tho wage scale, which will provide
for ten horns' work at HO cents an
hour, Instead of twelve hours' work
for 10 2-.1 cents pop hour,
The day's pay Is the same In either
case, but the hours nro shortened, nnd
this constitutes an Important Item, At
present a man must bo on duty six
teen hours a day,
TO THE RELIEF OF THE MULES.
Succor Brought to the Animals Im
prisoned In Nay Aug Mine,
A passageway was yesterday opened,
after a week of effort, to the workings
whero are Imprisoned the four mules
entombed by tho cuve-ln or last AA'ed
nesdny In tho Nay Aug colliery.
Tho animals were found ullvo and un
injured, but almost exhausted from
hunger. Nourishment wus can led to
them, and In a few days It Is expected
they will bo as well as ever.
Tho passageway will be widened suf
ficiently to permit of their removal Just
as rapidly aa Is possible.

Will Not Interfere.
Pittsburg nnd Allegheny, II Is fair
ly snfn to say, will not Interfere with
any plans of this character Scranton
may formulate nnd attempt to carry
out, in a conversation with The Trib
une correspondent. Senator Fllnn, be
lieving It was n settled fnct tint
Scranton wns opposed to tlio transi
tion, remarked: "Why don't you have
the limit inlsed nnd slay in the third
class?" He was told that Scranton
was undecided as to whether or not It
wished to enter tho second class.
"Well," said the senator, "the second
class charter Is satisfactory to Alle
gheny and there Is no reason I enn see
why It should not work successfully In
Scrnnton. The two cities nio about
of the same size."
Lately, however, there has been a
slow but still noticeable devclopniens
of n feeling among some of the state
politicians that Sewnton's entrance
Into the second class should be en
couraged. They think, so It would ap
pear, thai with Scrnniou seeking new
legislation, or amendments to existing
legislation, In oposltlon to wishes of
I'ittsbuig, tho representatives from
this city and the surrounding dis
tricts would be open to negotiations,
and could be won over to their way
of thinking In factional affairs, by
using the needs of second-class Scran
ton as a lever.
If it does not come to pass that
Scranton will be looking for new legis
lation, this, thing of factional politics
In the state at large Will have to bu
reckoned with. Whether it will work
lo our good or ill remains to be seen.
Largely II will depend on the shrewd
ness ot our local representatives.
NEEDLESS ALARM CAUSED.
Few Cases of Chicken Pox at No. 33
School Have Developed.
Quite a bit of needless alarm has
been caused during the past few days
by the announcement that there was
an epidemic of chicken pox at No. 311
school, which Is located at the corner
of Madison avenue and Pine street.
There have been, It Is true, quite a
few cases of this disease among the
pupils of the school, but the disease
Is of such an unimportant na
Uuo and the proportion of cases
has been so small that the school au
thorities are not In the least fright
