NERUSHAS IS NOT GUILTY i THAT WAS THE VEHDICT OF THE JURYi Ho Wns Charged wltn the Killing of John Mishits on March 18, 1800. Much Pleased with the Verdict and Warmly Thanked His Attor neysMany Cases Tried Before the Three Judges Constable Joseph Woelkers Tried Twice nnd Escaped on Both Occasions. Simon Nerushas wuh returned not guilty yesterday morning of the mur der of John Mlskuu In. North Scran ton on March IS, 1X00. Tho jury re tired at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon nnd brought in Its verdict nt 10.30 yesterday morning. On the first ballot, after the jury retired, It stood seven for uenulttnl nnd live for conviction of voluntary manslaughter. Ballots were taken at ilntcrvals up to 10.30 Thursday night, when tho jury stood eleven for ac quittal and otto for conviction. Yes terday morning he wns won over nnd tho verdict of not guilty returned. As soon as: the verdict wns returned, Ne rushas was called up and discharged. He was delighted with the verdict and warmly thanked his attorneys, Taylor & Lewis. Other cases acted upon dur ing tho day were: JUDGE R. W. ABCHBALD. Tho hearing In the case of Constable Joseph Woelkers, charging him with blusphemy, was resumed yesterday morning. Agents Wilson, Kcene and Dodge, of the Municipal league, testi fied that on June 29 last they went to the South Side for the purpose of serving a warrant upon John Woelk ers, the defendant's brother, for sell ing liquor without a license. As they were walking along Prospect avenue, near the corner of Brook street, they were approached by the peace-conserving defendant, who not only endeav ored to run them down with his horse and carriage, but hurled profane and blasphemous epithets nt them, the lat ter being the basis of the present charge. It appeared that 'the defendant wns there for the particular purpose of noti fying the keepers of speakeasies in his bailiwick of the presence of Wilson nnd tiio other detectives and that he drove furiously through the streets calling out and ringing a gong attached to Ills wagon, in order to attract attention. On Saturday last Woelkers was put under $500 ball by tho court in u sure ty case growing out of this transaction and his brother was convicted of the charge for which he was arrested on the day of tho trouble. The jury, after a hard struggle, agreed upon a verdict of not guilty, tne defendant to pay the costs. Some Impersonators are more suc cessful than William Hull, who was tried yesterday. The prosecutor, Hen ry Cordner, alleged that in April last the defendnnt nnd Constable Steve (111 by came to his place hi C'arbondale nnd threatened to arrest him and his wife on a criminal charge, offering, however, to settle for the sum of $2. After hearing the prosecutor's testi mony the court decided that a convic tion could not be sustained and direct ed a verdict of not guilty. Martin Burke was then placed on trial, charged with the larceny of a dog from the prosecutor, Overileld Coleman, of Green Ilidge. The dog was a hunter valued at $50. It was missed by tho prosecutor in December, ISflfi, and in October last he found It in the possession, of the defendant, who re fused to give It up. At the hearing before the alderman the prosecutor said thai the defendant admitted that he was satisfied that the former owned the dog, but that he had come by It honestly. After hearing the evidence the court directed a verdict of not guilty, It appearing that the defendant neither stole nor knew that the dog had been stolen. Another case against Constable Jo seph Woelkers was tried before Judge Archbald. This case grew out of the Investigations made by the Lexow grand jury last spring and charges the defendant with misdemeanor in of fice. Edward Melvln, the South Side hotel-keeper, stated that In January last Woelkenr came to his place and told him that unless ho paid $o he would be "pinched" for running a slot machine, ns tho authorities were after them. It did not appear that any money had been paid to the defendant or that ho solicited money for him self, and a verdict of not guilty was taken. Anthony Cnrluccl was sentenced to $25 and costs and Tomnsso Slrlauo to $10 and costs. They were convicted during tho week. JUDGE JOHN P. KELLY. The trial of tho case ot Daniel Shea, William Gallagher and Martin Fnrrell, of Mlnooka, charged with malicious mischief, was resumed In the morning. A verdict of guilty was returned, bur. tho defendants wore recommended to the mercy of the court. A verdict of not guilty was taken In the case of Sidney Williams, ohm-cod with adultery. Mary Loftus was tho prosecutrix, Tho costs were placed on the county. Verdicts of not guilty were taken In tho eases against Ciirrlo Styles and Norn Bryden, charged with perjury by Constable Stephen Gllby, of Fell town ship, The county will pay tho costs. The alleged perjury wns tho testimony of the women nt a trial last Novem ber, which convicted Gllby of adultery. Henry McDermott pleaded guilty to forgery and was sentenced to pay a Hue of $1, costs and directed to soend threo months in the county Jail. M, It. Llnuen, of Carboiidale, wns re turned not guilty of selling liquor with out a, license, but directed to pay tho costs. Frank Shumlel, of the same place, was returned not guilty of the same offense. Constnblo Henry H, Pierce was the prosecutor In both cases. Marlon Kopfehlnskl pleaded guilty to assault and battery and will bo sen tenced today, Tho prosecutor wns Ohlof ot Police itobllng, A not pros,, on pay ment of the costs, wns entered in the case of P, J. Glbney, charged by Ed ward 11. 8 1 urges with selling liquor without u license and on Sunday, John Sheehan, of West Scranton, and Alien Jacoby were arraigned, charged with robbing T. W, Mansfield, of West Scranton, of a, watch and some money In tho Whlto House, on Penn avenue, last October, Before tho ease had pro ceeded far it was apparent thero was no evldenco against the woman and a uol pros, was taken In her case. The case ns to Sheehun will go to tho Jury this morning. C, M. Jones wus returned not guilty of embezzling from B, S. Hardenberg, but was directed to pay tho costs. JUDGE DAVID CAMERON. Mayor James Molr and the council men of tho city were on trial, Indicted for maintaining a public nuisance In that thoy failed to Itcop it public street in the Twenty-first ward in good re pair. The commonwealth failed to show that the road had ever been accepted by the city, either directly or by im plication. When the commonwealth lested, .Messrs. Vosburg, McOlnley nnd Hoynolds, attorneys for the defendants, moved for binding Instructions. Thu motion was granted nnd a verdict of not guilty was directed.

It required the testimony of only threo witnesses to convince Judge Ed wards that Pasquale Bevelacque should be held to answer as an ac cessory to the murder of Mary Paul Rose, with which his wife Is charged. The testimony was presented yes terday afternoon, nt a hearing In ha beas corpus proceedings by which Bevolacque's attorneys, George S. Horn nnd Frank E. Boyle, sought to secure their client's release from jail. Attorney Charles K. Daniels appeared for tho prosecution. Tony Rose, husband of tho mur dered woman, testified that on Sep tember 21, Bovelacque told him, during a quarrel, that he had given his wife n revolver, with in structlons to kill him and Mrs. Rose. Nlcoli Blcartl, a cousin of Mrs. Ros?, swore that on tho same day, in front of Cassesse's hotel, Bevelacque told him that his wlfo had gotten a revol ver that morning, with which to shoot Mrs. Rose nnd that "pretty soon" she would shoot Rose, too. Nana Nicoterl, a midwife, who nt- tonded Mrs. Bevelacque In October, about a month before the shooting, told that while at the Bevelacque house, the husband came in and learn ing that Mrs, Rose had been there that day, flow into a rage and said, "Why didn't you kill her." Then, after wards, showed Mrs. Nicoterl a revol ver, and while displaying it, Bevel acque said to his wife: "Why do you think I have this revolver? AVhat do you think I bought it for." This fol lowed immediately a reference to Mrs. Rose's visit to the premises that day. Bevelacque accompnnled the wit ness home about midnight and again talking about killing Mrs. Rose. It was brought out on cross examina tion that on this trip homeward, Mrs. Nicoterl was set upon by her pro tector nnd an nttempt made to rob nor, and that on account of this she was not very well disposed towards him. It was also stated by Mrs. Nicoterl that she once overheard Bevelacque telling his wife that if she killed Mrs. Rose when she was Inside the fenco she would not have to pay a cent."

The Rule Granted Some Time Ago Competing the Defendant to Pro duce Certain Books nnd Papers or Satisfy the Court Why They Can not Bo Produced Is Made Absolute. Full Text of the Opinion of the Judge with Reference to This Case. Judge H. M. Edwards handed down an opinion yesterday In a phase ot tho Important litigation of the Langcllffu Coat company, limited, against the New York, Susquehanna and Western Coal company. It was an application for a rule on the defendant company to produce cer tain books and papers used in connec tion with their dealings with tho plain tiff, nnd Judge Edwards made the rule absolute. The opinion follows: On thn return ot the rule In lids cae defendant made 110 formal answer and showed no Viausc against granting the mder other than tins ai-RU-ment of counsel niralnst allowing the relief soimht by the plalntllf. At the nrffiimeiit, the defendant was offered the opportunity of further time to malic Mich answer ns It jlceincd proper and to show why tho books and papers described In the plaintiff's petition could not lie produced lit the trial of the case. This opportunity was declined and the argument proceeded with on tho papers as tlicy wero before us. Defendant claims Hint the petition Is defective for want of ceitainly in the dcscrljdlon of the papers dcslied. We think not. The books and papers are sufficiently described most of them with unmistakable precision and tho others with reasonable certainly. It Is claimed that the provision of the act of l'cbniary 27, 1703, are to a certain extent obsolete because of the practice prevailing in the courts by which books and papers in tho possession of one or the other of the parties to a suit may be secured by Hie adverse party at the trial. Heferenco is made to a subpoena duces tecum, to the scivlee ot notice on the opposite party to produce books and papers and to the practice, now quite gen eral, of taking testimony of persons in other states by order of couit, without resorting to the cumbersome method of interrogatories and a com mission. Xotwitlistandlng all these opportunities of securing evidence, the decisions of tho highest couit recognize that the act of 17PS is in full lite and that its provisions may lie lmoked In a proper case. U t) true that the plivilege allowed by Ibis act of assembly may be abused anil that the parly seeking its aid may undertake what is known as n "li-ldng excursion" into tho enemy's country. Put this is no answer to the reasonable cnfoice lueiil of the provisions of the act. Indeed, the net it self provides the means o pievenl till". Tho Older to pioduco books and papers will tint lie made without giving the adicie parly full oppuitiinity to answer. It may lie that the papeis demanded b.ne been destroyed by fire or otherwise nnd cannot be produced; or, that, though in c.stcnie, ihey may be beyond the legal control of the parly who is required to produce tlicm; or, that Ihey are not pertinent to the issues between the par ties to the trial. Such matters should be shown on the return of the nile. The defendant in the case at bar lias given us no leason why the order prayed for should not be made, except such rea sons as in law might be made on a ilemiuier to the plaintiff's petition. Kxhaustive briefs have been submitted on boll, sides. We do not deem it necessary to cite authorities. Put we refer to the case of Megargce versus Insurance Co., 13 Phil. 220, in which Judge Kinletter as late as 1SS1 discusses tin) practice under the act of 17H?, nnd cities the Supieme court cases bearing on the subject. Summaris-.-ing briefly our views as to the practice under the act, wo say that on the leturn of a nile to pro dine books and papers the court will consider: 1-. The averments in the petition. Are they made with reasonable certainty? Are the books and papers described with sulHcient precision? 2. The materiality and pci fluency of Hie books and papeis demanded. 8. Are the books and papers in the possession or under tho control of the patty upon whom the lule Is taken? Our duty in the present aso is clear. The nile granted Oct. 17, ls!H. upon the defendant to show cause why certain books and papers de scribed in the affidavit and petition of the plain tiff should not lie produced by the defendant on the trial of this case, or to satisfy the court why they cannot .o produced, is made absolute. Burgess Rees Gives Reasons. AVilllard, Warren & Knapp, attor neys for Burgess J, Willis Rees, ot Old Forge, made n motion yesterday to quash the suggestion for a writ of mandamus to compel Mr. Roes to sign the electric light contract, which the councils tire attempting to ontev Into with the Avoca RIeclric Light company. Burgess Rees avers iltat the ordi nance on which the contract is framed was never signed by him and consequently Is null and void, and for that reoson he cannot be compelled to sign the contract.
