STORY OF THE
ROSE MURDER
COMMONWEALTH'S WITNESSES
NARRATE IT IN DETAIL.
Testimony of Annio Morosco Nettta,
Who Saw tho Shooting Reporter
Raftor Tolls of tho Finding of tho
Rovolvor Constable Hulling and
Officer Bloch Tell of Confessions
Made to Them by Mrs. Bevilacrtua.
Werner Found Not Guilty Other
Casos in tho Criminal Courts.
The detailed story of the killing of
Mary Most by Josephine Bevllacqtia
was given yesterday by the wit
nesses for the Commonwealth.
Through It nil the defendant sat al
most motionless, with bent head ami
downcast eyes, only looking up and
around when a new witness came to
the stand. Those who knew her be
fore her n nest and who have seen her
during the past few days, declare that
she is only a shadow of her former
self. She looks pale and weak and
tins general opinion Is that she has
not long to live though the law should
not Intervene to shorten her days.
The principal and llrst witness of
the day was .Mrs. Anna Morosco
Netitn, who was tho only eye-witness
to the shooting. She has been
married slnrc tho time of the killing.
It was in her mother's apartments
that the killing took place. The
Bevllncqitas lived In the same house,
occupying the upper apartments. Mrs.
Moresco. Anna's mother, was Cod
mother to Airs. Hose's child.
-Mrs. Neula told her story In a
straightforward manner that carried
with It every evidence of Its being
truthful. The Commonwealth had
feared that on account of her youth
and surroundings, she might bo In
tluenced to be an unwilling witness,
If not something more umlesiraSde
from the Commonwealth's standpoint,
but if any effort was made by the
Bevllacquas to Inlliienee her It proved
unavailing. She told the same story
yesterday that she told to the news
paper men at the time of the shoot
ing. MltS. NKCTA'S STORY.
"When directed by Mr. Jones to pro
ceed with the narrative of the killing,
Mi's. Neutfi said:
"I was sitting in tho house with my
mother at 7 o'clock on the morning
when the murder was committed. At
that time one of my little brothers
was also there. My mother went
down town about 7::;0 o'clock and af
ter S the children went to school. Mrs.
Rose came in between 7 and S o'clock
and was sitting in the kitchen with
me.
"It was nearly ! o'clock when Mrs.
Bcvilacquii came in. She liwd up
stairs over us. She sat down in the
kitchen on one side of llio stove. Mrs.
Rose was sitting on the other side
of the stove.
"Mrs. Hovilaequa had to do her cook
ing mi our stove because she bad
none. I went to rake tho stove and
as I did Mrs. Hevilaequa asked me
for some potatoes. 1 went and got a
pan full and offered tliein to her, but
she said then she didn't want them
and put them on the table.
"Then I , began to rake the stove
again. There was no one In the house
then except Mrs, Rose. Mrs. Hevil
aequa and 1. As T started to rako
the stove I heard Mrs. Hevilaequa
say In .Mrs. Rose;
"'What are you naming mo for alt
the time'.""
"Mrs. Rose said: Who's naming
you'."
"Mrs. Hevilaequa tsnld: 'You are.
You said you worked for me and
1 never paid you'.''
"Then Mrs. Ros-o said: 'Yes, I did
work for you. I scrubbed for you and
you never did pay me'

"Then Mrs, Hevilaequa got up anil
begun moving her bands around and
feeling for her pocket. J don't know
If she bad a pocket, but she was truiv
Ing her hands around her dress, and
all at once .she took her revolver. Sh
grabbed It with both hands (witness
Illustrating) and pointed it at Mrs.
Rose. Then she llred.
"As soon us I heard the first shot
1 ran into the front room and put
the catch on tho door. When 1 got In
there I heard another shot.
"That Wits two shots 1 heard Mrs.
Hevilaequa lire at Mrs, Ttose. I iimn't
see anything, and X cried and
screamed all the time.
"Willie 1 was hi there I heard nn
other noise, 1 don't know what that
was.
"Then '.Mrs, Hevilaequa came to the
door and said: 'Annie, open tho door,'
I whs crying and was afraid, and did
not to open the door. Then she asT.ed
mi again to do It.
"1 opened It then and she came In
and asked me If she hurt me, I told
her no. Then she took mo upstairs
to her bouse. I was crying nil the
time, and she told me to shut up, 1
couldn't and she got mad.
"Then I went over to Mrs, Sykes'
hoiiM'. Mrs. Hevilaequa went over
before me. Then we went to another
bouse where a man came for .Mrs,
Hevilaequa "
in -answer to further questions by
Mr, Jones, the witness said that she
did not see Mis. Rose do any thing
In tho kitchen except what she had al
ready described,

only a abort time previously given
birth to a child.
The next witness, Mr. M, Halter, a
Times reporter, told of the (Hiding of
tho revolver. JIo with the police olll
cers and other newspaper men were
hunting about the house for the revol
ver, when he came across It under an
apron lying near u trunk, in a room In
the upper apartments in which Mrs.
Hevilaequa lived. The roolver was
still warm, tho smell of recently
burned powder could easily be de
lected on It. and It also bore evidence
of having been recently oiled,
Mountid Olllcer Hindi, to whom Mr.
Rafter gave the revolver, testilled that
It contained live empty shells; Unit
It was still warm when he got It; that
II smelted of burned powder, and

Mrs. Hcvllncqtta In .Mrs, Prlorl's house
nearby, and as soon as he entered,
Mrs. Hevilaequa crouched down be
hind some other women who were
present.
JIo approached her and asked her,
"Are yon the woman who did the
shooting''" She only shrugged her
shoulder. One of the other women
suggested to the olllcer that Mivs.
Bovllaoqtla was afraid of him. Ho
spoke reassuringly and then repeated
tile question, "Are you the woman
who did the shooting'."' Hy action,
rather thau words, she admitted she
was.
Thereupon tlic constable ordered tho
other women "to leave the room, and
as they left Mrs. Bevllsequa darted
tnto another room. He rushed after
her and got his foot Inside the door
Just as she was attempting to slam

He replied that be would have to take
her to jail. At this. Mrs. Hevilncqun.
dared up and said, "You take me, tho
Italians fix you."
W1THURKW WITNKSS.
Mrs. Susan O'Reilly Priori. In whose
house Mrs. Hevilaequa sought refuge,
was called to the stand to corroborate
the story of Constnblo Hulling, but
after the preliminary questions had
been asked, Mr. Jones withdrew luf,
saying her testimony, If now devel
oped, would be Immaterial.
Mrs. C. J. Sykes. of 12.':," Penn ave
nue, testilled that between ! and 10
o'clock on the morning of the shoot
ing, Mrs. Hevilaequa came to her
home and summoning the witness to
the door asked, "You woman Hevilae
qua bouse'.'"
Mrs. Sykes understood tills to be an
inquiry as to whether or not she
owned the bouse rented to Mr, Be
vllacqtia, and she answered in the
a (Urinative.
"Come, conic quick." cried Mrs.
Bevllacqtia, "Mary lay like this." She
accompanied her words by Indicating
with the aid of the babe she was
carrying in bet arms, that Mary was
lying helpless.
"Is she sick'."' Mrs. Sykes inquired.
"No, she lav like tills," and 'Mrs.
Bevllacqtia repeated the motions she
bad gone through before.
There was' an- Italian mimed Joe
working In Sykes' back yard, cutting
wood. Mrs. Sykes oceonipnnied Mrs.

Mrs. Sykes. learned that Mary Rose

BKNTI-ID I1KI1 A HOl'rilC.
On ci oss examination it was brought
out that Mrs. Sykes one rented a
house to Mary Rose. Some lime be
fore the shooting. Mrs. Rose vacated
it and moved away. Tho Bevllacquas
took another of the Sykes' houses In
that neighborhood, and immediately
the visits of Mrs. Rose to that neigh
borhood were resumed.
1 1 was attempted to bring out that
Mrs. Sykes bad at one time, not long
before, ordered .Mrs. Rose to keep
away from the Bpvilacn.ua premises,
but Judge llalsey ruled this out as

ALLKfiKO CONPKHSIO.V.
Mounted Olllcer Joseph Hindi was
culled to the stand to testify to n
confession alleged to have been made
to him by Mrs. Hevllncqua. The de
fense asked for an orfer, and then ob
jected to tho testimony, on tho ground
that tin- ottlcer had not warned her
tlial what she would say would be
used against her.
For over an hour, Mr. Jones and
Mr, Cnniegys argued, pin and con tin
quotlou of whether or nut It Is re
quired that an admonition of this kind
must be given to make the confession
ndmisMiblc as evidence. Mi'. Jones
held that as long as there was no
duress or Inducement, tho confession
Is nduilssable, Mr. Comgys contended
that while the rule for an admoni
tion may give way lu some eases, it
must be shown that tho confession
was purely voluntary, In this enso
It had not been ottered In show that
the absence or those thlliRS would,
leave (he confession a purely volun
tary one, Mr. Comcgys further held
thill It -was not offered lo show that
the woman understood clearly the na
ture mid effect of the questions sho
was asked,
The court over-ruled the objection
and admitted tho evidence.
onirer Hindi was then examined nt
length by Mr. Jones, to show that he
had used no duress or made no prom
ise or Inducement to bring out tier
statement. Then lie was directed to
give the conversation.

ARMORY ABLAZE
WITH SPLENDOR
WORK OF DECORATING NEARLY
COMPLETED.
Tho Electric Pieces Arrivod in tho
City Last Evening nml Will Bo
Put Up Today Effort Being Mntlo
to Got Delegation From. New
York's "Old Guard" to Attond
Bauor's Band Gavo a Concert at the
Armory Last Night Tho Box
Holders.
After being lost for nearly two days
the freight car with electrical decora
tions for the adornment of the Thir
teenth regiment's new armory arrived
lu this city at 5 o'clock last evening.
It was only after tho most tireless ef
fort on the part of W. 11. Taylor, chair
man of the decoration committee, that
the car was dually located outside of
Philadelphia and rushed on to Scran
ton, The Incident caused mv appreciable
delay, and by midnight last night over
half tho pieces weie ready for mount
ing. Tho prettiest setting Is a small
national shield that Is composed entire
ly of miniature electric lights, sur
mounted by one of tho llnest speci
mens of the American eagle ever seen
in this city.
A probable brilliant addition to the
throng which will attend the ball on
Friday evening will bo n delegation
from New York city's "Old Cluurd,"
which Is perhaps the most distinguish
ed military-social organization in the
metropolis. lOx-Sheiiff Charles Robin
son will go to New York today to in
duce his friend, Senator Stadler, who
Is u captain of one of the companies of
the Old Guard, to get up a party to
attend tho military ball in this city.
The enormous size of the drill room
of the new armory was never more
dearly demonstrated than yesterday,
when two entire forest settings from
the stock scenery of the Lyceum thea
ter were hung up on the eastern wall.
They looked no larger than a pair of
large pictures, notwithstanding the
fact that they completely cover the
Lyceum stage.
Last night Bauer's full band of forty
pieces occupied the baud stand over
the north entrance, and for an hour
filled the vast room with melody. The
first tune played was "Hndor the
Double Kuglo." and as the steel girders
and the vast sounding board of the roof
caught the strains and hurled them
back witli ten-fold volume, the horde
of workmen who are rushing forward
the preparations for the ball dropped
their tools, and seizing each other
around tlic waists whirled away to the
ryllim of the two-step, Thus It came
to pass that the llrst dance to bo held
In tho new armory was not destined to
be tlic; brilliant, one which takes place
tomorrow night, but quite an informal
affair, participated in by a corps of
begrinnned workmen.
Perhaps the local record for rapid
construction along electrical lines was
made last night, when the work of
putting in tlie twenty-Tour additional
arc lights ordered by the general com
mittee was completed. On Tues
day evening tho committee decided
that more light would improve
the decorative effect and accordingly
work was commenced yesterday morn
ing to put in an entire new circuit and
place tho lights. At S o'clock last
ninlit the twenty-four additional an;
lamps, together with the original eigh
teen, were burning brilliantly in llio
drill room.
A military guard was on duty at the
doors of the armory all day yesterday
to keep out the ever-Increasing crowds
who are visiting the building daily.
There will be a meeting of the recep
tion committee in the board of trade
rooms tomorrow afternoon.
Among the box holders are the Tol
lowlng: Colonel II. M. Holes, Judge
Hand. K. L. Fuller. O. H. Smith, C. S.
