JANSEN CASE
FALLS FLAT
JUDGE EDWARDS DIRECTED A
VERDICT OF NOT.GUILTY.
Commonwealth's Evidence Was Not
Sufficient to Sustain the Choi go of
Voluntary Manslaughter and ns rt
Defendant Can Not Be Tried for
Involuntary Manslaughter on an
Indictment Charging Voluntary
Manslaughter the Court Would Not
Let the Case Go to the Jury Rule
to Quash the Waylaiul Case.
ttt the case of Frank Jansen, tho
South Kin-union bai'hcr. charged with
voluntary manslaughter, In having
caused tho death of his little daugh
ter, by setting fire to his house, the
Jury yesterday returned n. verdict of
not guilty by direct Inn of President
Jutlare .Edwards.
The evidence presented by tho com
monwealth failed to disclose any In
tent on Jensen's pnrt to commit crime,
and as this Is essential in maintaining
a charge of voluntary manslaughter,
the court, with the acquiescence of
District Attorney I-cwis, directed a
verdict of not guilty.
Tins evidence as .It stood, unchul
lengctl, would disclose Involuntary
manslaughter, but tho Supreme court
having declared that voluntary and
Involuntary manslaughter cannot be
Joined In the ono count, the case had
to fall. It may bo that n now indict
ment, will 'bo drawn charging Junson
with Involuntary manslaughter.
The crime, ir it was such, for which
Jansen was arraigned, occurred in the
early morning of Jan. 2U last. Jansen,
his wife and seven-year-old daughter,
Florence, lived with his wife's mother,
Mrs. Sanih McDonald, and sister, Miss
Siadio McDonald.
THREW A LAMP.
Jansen came home from a. lnnpr-uer-atlo
ball at t o'clock In tho morning
and wan upbraided by his wife for
staying out so late. He threw a light
ed kerosene lamp which exploded, set
lire to the house and burned to death
Iuh little daughter who was asleep
in the front up-stulrs bedroom. His
wife and her sister were also badly
burned, the wife having her face and
arms scorched, and Miss McDonald
sustaining burns to her feet, which
make it necessary for her to still use
crutches to aid her in walking.
Mrs. McDonald says Jansen threw
tho lamp at his wife. Jansen says ho
accidentally knocked the globe from
tho lamp when he was attempting to
light a piece of paper to light his pipe,
that when the lamp was left without
a globe the flamo began to flare up
as if the lamp was ahout to cxulodo,
and fearing that it was going to ex
plode, ho picked it up and aimed to
throw it out of the window, bnt in
stead of going through the window it
hit the edge of tlio hallway door, -which
was swung back against the window.
It then exploded, and by the time he
had extinguished the flames that en
veloped his wife and sister-in-law it
was impossible to get up stairs to res
cue his daughter. Though not being
compelled to testify in the case because
of her marital relation to the defend
ant, Mrs. Jansen corroborates her hus
band's story In every detail. She now
lives with him at his mother's home
and yesterday snt by his side at the
defendant's table.
MRS. M'DONALD'S STORY.
The wife's mother and sister are the
principal witnesses against Jansen.
Mrs. McDonald told a story that if
oeueveti wouici be likely to convince the
jury that he aimed the lump at his
wife.
She testified she heard Jansen anil
his wife quarreling and stepped down
stairs to seo what the trouble was. Slit
passed by her married daughter who
was standing on the second step of
tho hallway stair and took a seat on
tho opposite sldo of the dining room
table from where Jansen sot. She
didn't say a word to any one and no
one said anything to her. After about,
ton minutes, Jansen grabbed the globe
from the lamp and threw it at his
wife. The witness could not say
whether or not It lilt her. Immediate
ly Jansen picked up the lamp and
threw that. According to the witnes.
the lamp was thrown directly at Mrs.
Jansen who was standing on tho sec
ond step of the stairway. AVhclher or
not It hit her, the witness cottl.t not
say. Siio was positive, however, in hot
opinion that Jansen threw tho limp
at his wife to do her injury and that
It would have killed her bad it sttuck
her. Tho atlornoys for the defense did
not make a. very vigorous effort to pre
vent the wllues-s from giving these
opinions,
When on cross-cxaminuiiuii the wit
ness was asked if sho had not tcstl
lied dlffiirmil on this or that point at
tho hearing before the mayor, she
cither evaded the question by pleading
bad memory or denied tho correctness
of tho report of hep previous utter
ances. She denied positively that she
had said at the police court, heaiing
that she did not see Jansen throw tho
lamp at his wife or that she admitted
to Jansen's sister and brother on the
day following the tragedy that slu did
not know whether or nol Frank threw
the lamp n t his wife.
AVUAT HE WOULD 1IAVK S.ID.
Had tho defense btvn culled upon to
put In testimony, Jansen would havo
sworn thai. Mrs, McDonald was not
in tho room when tlio lamp was thrown
and did not ajipeai on the scene until
after tho tire started,
Miss Sadie McDonald, daughter of
tho preceding witness, told that she
heard tho fimrrellng down tttalrs but
did not 001110 down until after the
lamp was thrown. She begmdingly
admitted that Jansen extinguished the
Hitmen which had attacked her night
diesH and put hiH overcoat around her.
She also admitted t hut .km sun seemed
to ibe grently altttehed to his little
daughter, but according to Jior descrlp.
tton of Ids conduct when they realized
that the little one was In groat peril,
he did not care much whether she wus
rescued or not,
Sho ehldod him for not going up tliu
burning stairs to rescue his daughter,
sho says, and told him If he would lot
her have his shoes she would go 110.
After It was seen that tho child could
not bo saved she ugiiln ohldcd him
and lie said "My God! My God! say
nothing about tills. Keep blill."
Patrolman Emil Schmitt told that
when ho arrived at the lire Jansen
wtis standing in front of the house
with his arms folded, watching the
blaze. The witness admitted that he
wee not on speaking terms with Jan
sen and that his family and the Jan
sens had some trouble but "not to
mount to anything."
Fred Hoyor, a member ot the Nep
tune Engine company, who. with the
aid of a ladder got tho child's body out
of the binning building, told that
when ho came on the scene Jnnson
mik in ft mil of the house wringing
his hnnds and plleously crying for
someone to save his rhlldi

Want to Read Their Title Clear.
George Smith, Anthony Savage and
others, representing the St. Joseph's
Lithuanian Catholic congregation of
North Main avenue, Providence, insti
tuted an equity suit yesterday to com
pel Vincent Blazyo, AVilliam YuskI,
Mike Bornotas. George Mitchell and
Joseph Tamolinas to declare to a. trust
which It is alleged they held for the
plaintiff congregation in the contract
for tho purchase of the church prop
erty. The defendant committee took a deed
for Ihe property in their own names
and transferred It later, with the con
sent of the congregation, to tho Provi
dence Lithuanian congregation and lat
er to the bishop of the diocese as trus
tee. To make the tide clear it is nec
essary, the plaintiffs claim, that tin;
defendants should declare that they
contracted for and bought the property
as trustees of the church, and the
committee has refused to do this. R.
A. Zimmerman is attorney for the
Plaintiffs.
To "sli Wayland Ca&e.
Major Everett Warren and Jo.seph

charging him with contempt of court.
Mr. AVayland refused to answer cer
tain .iieslIons In a. councilmanic brib
ery he-irhm before Alderman Fuller,
taking the ground that if ho made,
answer ho would tend to Incriminate
himself. This position, his- attorneys
contend, was a proper one, and the In

cannot stand.

Shortly after 1 o'clock everyone pres
