SPECIAL HEARING
JN VIADUCT CASE
PolAi Argued Is Whether or Not Or
dinance Is Invalid Because tho
Plans We're Not Attached.
A special hearing In the viaduct In
junction case was heard yesterday af
ternoon at the request of Judge Kelly,
who has the matter under considera
tion. Tho esneclul point ho wonted re
argued was the contention raised by
the plaintiff that the ordinance waa
Invalid because theie were no plana
and specifications attached.
Jlr. Burns, for the plaintiff, contend
ed that not only were there no plans
or specifications attached to the ordin
ance, but that there were no plans or
specifications on tile In the city engi
neer's ofllce. The attorneys for the de
fense offered tho blua prints which had
been before offered as evidence, but
Mr. Uurns contended that they only
showed the location of the viaduct and
gave no Idea as to how or what It was
to be constructed.
Then the defense offered general
plans for tho construction of the via
duct which are Irr the possession of tho
city engineer and explained that he
could prepare at any time bultablc
plans nnd speclllcatlons for the West
Lackawanna avenue structure from
these.
In reply, Mr. Hums argued that
these plans related to viaducts In gen
eral and not specifically to the West
Lackawanna avenue viaduct and could
not therefore be considered by the
coutt To permit tho city engineer to
decide for himself Just how tho via
duct should be constructed, he con
tended, would bj delegating nuthmlty,
something which councils had not the
right to do.
lie quoted In defense of this position
a supreme couit decision. It appears
that some years ago tho stato legisla
ture, realizing the necessity of having
a uniform Insurance pulley used by all
Insurance companies doing business In
the state, directed the Insurance com
missioner to prepare such a policy. This
was done and the Insurance companies
went Into court nnd succeeded In hav
ing tho net declared unconstitutional
on the ground that tho legislature had
no right to delegutc such authority to
the commissioner. Mr. Uurns argued
that the same principle would apply In
this case.
The defense took Ihe opportunity
presented by the hearing to raise an
other objection to tho plaintiff's bill.
Messrs. Vosburg and Wnrren attacked
tho standing of Mr. Keller to contest.
They contended that ho could not
bring nctlon as a taxpayer, because no
expense whatever would be attached
to the city by reason of the erection
of the viaduct.
Mr. Hums replied that the cost of
raising tho sewers, etc., would have to
be paid by the city and contended that
even If no pecuniary interest was at
tached to tho city, Mr. Keller had the
right to ralso tha question ns a tax
payer If the councils were authorizing
an Illegal transaction.

WRECK NEAR OLYPHANT.
Engineer Huchlng, ot No. 802, Had
His Arm Rruloed.
A wreck occurred on tho Delaware
and Hudson railroad at Valley Junc
tion, a short distance below Olyphant,
nt t0.30 Thursday night, A train of
empty cars was being switched at tha
point, when nnother train of etnptl'.a
came thundering along on the north
bound track nnd crashed Into It.
Tho forco of tho collision wns terrific
nnd at least ten gondolas were
smashed completely. A number top
pled over Into a creek.
Engine No. 292' was completely
wrecked. It was of tho "hog" typo
and In charge of Homer Huchlng.
Traffic was delayed forisovera hour3.
No one was Injured except Engineer
Huchlng, whose arm was slightly
bruised.
DIED PROM AN
AWFUL WOUND
(Concluded from Pa?o 1,1
next door, but a bartender who wai
standing In tho entrance, seeing tho
blood that had spurted on his face and
shirt front, would not let him In. H
stopped to argue that he hadn't done
nnythlng, nnd tho like, nnd before he
started off again Patrolman Charles
Nouls, who saw tho excitement from
tho Franklin avenue corner, camo up
on a run nnd took him Into custody.
The prisoner protested that he didn't
do It; that he had no knife, and In
vited a search. While he was being
searched a rnzor with blood on It was
picked up on tho pavement Just In
front of tho hotel entrance, whero
Papa, evidently, had thrown It when
ho emerged from the saloon.
Tho sight of tho blood pouring In a
sheet from the silt In Davis' neck sent
the women nnd many of the men scur
rying through the back door and away
as fast as they could travel.
The wounded man remarked In tho
most matter-of-fact way; "I guess I
got It good," and proceeded to take off
his coat, collar and tlo and unloosen
his vest. Then he clutched his neck
with both hands to stay tho blood, all
tho while standing In the middle of tho
room.
Ambulance Summoned.
Anthony Lutz, one of the eye wit
nesses of the tragedy, tied a handker
chief about the wound, but It failed to
check tho blood. The Lackawanna
hospital ambulance was telephoned for,
but before It arrived Davis had sunk
to tho floor and expired. He lived
about twenty minutes after receiving
the wound. The cutting took placo
about 10.30. Dr. A. J. WInebrake, who
happened to be passing by and was
called In, was at Davis' side when ho
wns breathing his last. The doctor
said that death came -at 10.52. Ho also
said that Immediato medical attend
ance could not have saved Davis' life.
Coroner Roberts and Dr. Wlnebrako
made n post mortem examination and
found that tho blado had severed tin
lingual branch of the carotid artery,
and the anterior and external jugu
lar. The wind pipe was gashed, but
not fevered. With the head bent
backward opening the gash to Its full
width, it looked ns If It required lit
tle more cutting to make, decapitation
complete.
Nothing more gruesome can be pic
tured than tho sight presented by tho
corpFe lying In a widespread pool of
blood, the gaping wound made tho
more sickening by tho whiteness of
tho bloodless neck and face, the glas
sy, staring eyes and blood fsoakod
hands and breast of tho itnfortunato
fellow.
Came from Pittsburg.
Tho victim was about thirty-five
years of age. He was a huckster, and
boarded In Schnell court with a wo
man named McDavltt. He came here
ten years ago from Pittsburg with his
partner, "Roddy" Flynn, and gave ex
hibitions with tho Pompeii show at the
Driving park. He remained here elnce,
and was prominent In boxing circles.
He was In the featherweight class,
when a fighter, but lately weighed
about 140 pounds.
Papa Is twenty-two years of age, of
short stature, swarthy complexion and
has black curly hair. He worked In
James Christ's barber shop, at the cor
ner of Robinson street and Lonercan
court and boarded on Robinson street,
near the shop.
Ho says ho didn't do the deed, and
claims that he knows nothing of any
cuttlnrr. Ho says he was In tho light
and was badly used up, and esrapod
ns soon as he could wrest himself frev.
Ho has a mark over his eye.
Arthur Davis was also arrested, but
tho moment he was landed In a cell
he threw himself on the bunk and
fell Into a drunken sleep, from which
he could not bo aroused.
Chief Robllng, Lieutenant Davi
and Dotectlvo Molr weto on the scene
early and succeeded In corralling a
number of tho witnesses, from whom
they got a comprehensive story nnd
the list of those who wero about tho
place at tho time.
Tho body was given In charge of
Undertaker Itaub.

LEAGUE OUT
FOR BIG GAME
AFTER EVIDENCE AOAINST AL
LEGED BRIBE-GIVEB.S.
President Sturges Believes tho Ex
Councllmen Who Refused to Squeal
Are Making More Out of Their
Perjury Than They Did Out of the
Bribery Messrs. Thomas and Mor
ris to Be Charged with Perjury
and Messrs. McCann nnd Williams
with Bribery and Perjury.
Owing to the serious lllncea of Mr.
O'Brien and tho Inability of the con
stables to serve cubpocnas on other
Important witness, the continuation of
tho hearing In tho councllmanlc brib
ery cases, set for 3 o'clock yeBterday
afternoon, was postponed until today
at 2 o'clock.
This next hearing promises develop
ments more startling than any that
have yet como to the surface. Tho
Municipal league, through President
Sturges, declares that It is after' "big
fish" and that It proposes to got them
if such a thing Is possible.
It Is questionable, though, of they
will succeed and tho members them
selves, ndmtt. Their understanding
with tho councllmen who were al
lowed to cscapo prosecution, was
that they would tell tho whole truth
without reservation If they were called
upon to give testimony.
TI1030 witnesses, however, ns was
evidenced at Thursday's hearing, do
not proposo to "fcqueal." They claim
that there was no such stipulation In
tho compromise ns tho league now al
leges and that they are being unfairly
dealt with, when they tiro asked to
moke further and direct admissions of
guilt. They feci they havo paid a suf
ficient penalty for their offenses nnd
that tho league is taking an unfair
advantage of them In subjecting them
to prosecutions for perjury.
WILL BE RE-ARRESTED.
Mr. Sturges said yesterday that ex
Councllman Simon Thomas and Mor
ris V. Morris will be re-nrrested on
tho charge of perjury Immediately and
that ex-Councilman P. F, McCann and
R. H. Williams will suffer a like fate
at the conclusion of tho cases now
pending. The fact that Messrs. Mc
Cann nnd Williams are to bo Included
with Messrs. James, Melvln, O'Uoyle,
McAndiew and Coleman In the bribery
charges makes It Impossible to ar
rest them for perjury, ns It Is neces
sary to await the conclusion of the
litigation before a charge of bribery
can be founded on any testimony In
connection therewith.
Just how Messrs. McCann and Will
iams are to bo Included with the other
bribery defendants has not been decid
ed upon definitely. Their cases wero
pending In Alderman Fuller's court at
the time they entered Into tho com
promise agreement, and the league
withdrew tho chargs. To again make
them defendants it will be necessary
to re-arrest them on now charges. It
Is merely a matter of method at all
events; the fact that they are to be
placed back In the same position they
occupied before tho resigned Is the Im
portant ono.
Messrs, McCann and Williams, It Is
alleged, particularly agreed to tell
what they knew of councllmanlc brib
ing. They did not accept tho league's
offer until after tho term for which
it was announced to run had termin
ated. The offer was reopened for
them, It Is claimed, in consideration of
their promise to assist the league In
getting at the men who It Is alleged
did the bribing.
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY.
In this connection Mr. Sturges said
yesterday ho hoped ho had heard the
last of complaints of the councllmen
that they were being arrested while
those who tempted them are not dis
turbed. "They had their opportunity
yesterday to remove all causo of com
plaint and you see what they did," de
clared Mr. Sturges. "These council
men aro tho ones who can furnish us
with the evidence that will convict the
bribers, Let them do this and they
will find the league Just as aggrcsslvo
In prosecuting ono as tho other."
"Three of these men who wero on
tho stand yesterday," continued Mr.
Sturges. "had told us within a short
time previous to the hearing: of the
very things which they denied when
called to testify. I believe they are
being paid to shield those who bribed
them and that they aro making more
out of their perjury than they did out
of their bribery."
Agent Itobert Wilson stated yester:
