FATE OP HULL
IN BALANCE
CASE GIVEN TO THE JURY ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Yesterday Requested Thnt Certain
Parts of the Testimony Be Read to
Them This Will Bo Done This
Morning Clostnp; Scenes of a
Trlnl Thnt Will Long Be Memor
able In tho Legal History of
Wayno County Defendant Under
Cross Examination.
Tho fnli of V'lnnns Hull, of Cnrbon
tlalp, the Hlnyor of Kdwln Si'liuonnvpr,
of Hcnititnn, Ih In the hands of tho
jury. Tho cape ended on Saturday af
ternoon, unit In the ovenliiK, after the
charge by JiuIbo Purely, It went to the
Jury.
Tho closing Fcenes of tho llrst homi
cide case In Wayne county In slxteon
years and the one that surpassed In
Interest nntl excitement any murder
trial In the court annuls of tho county,
were marked by Intensely dramatic In
cidents, Tho greatest throng that over
surged through tho court room. There
was not a foot of space unoccupied,
even to the wings of the platform of
the judge's bench.
Yesterday afternoon word came from
the jury that certain portions of tho
testimony were deslrid to bo heard;
also as lo information about certain of
the exhibits in evidence. It was decid
ed to give the desired Information this
morning nt ! o'clock when the defend
ant will bo brought Into court.
The opinion in Honcsdnln was strong
against Hull, until the defense put In
its case. SP'co then there has been :i
change. Tin "belief Is that the verdict
will not bo higher than second degree.
The last day of the trial wns con
sumed almost wholly in the closing ar
guments of counsel and in the charge
of Judge Purdy.
jwuj rxDfiu Finn.
The defendant was on the stand for
about n half an hour Saturday morn
ing, under the lire of cross-questioning
by Mr. Scarlo. Tho llrst point in his
testimony that Mr. Scarle attacked
was as to the money bo had in ills
possession on the day of June 26. Hull
Insisted that he had ?, and denied
that ho told Ticket Agent Claude
Smith, of the t'arltondalo station of the
Dclawate and Hudson, he had no
money to buy a ticket to l.odoro and
that he begged one from Smith. He
denied also that lie borrowed 25 cents
to buy a ticket, but he did borrow it
to pay for ".Siimmie'H bead." As to tho
watch and chain, ho said the reason
ho told Captain Davis that he had
none was that ho did not think the
latter knew ho had one. He went to
the Kodnoy farm on the invitation of
Mrs. Kodnoy, who visited him once in
the county jail. When they were
struggling, he and Sclioonover, the lat
ter had his hands on his shoulders
pulling Hull towards him. They were
face to face with each other. When
he pulled tho knife It was necessary,
he said, to use both hands to got it
ready for use. When he struck, he
didn't know whether lie plunged the
lcnlfc blade into Sclioonover once or
twice, or if ho wounded him at all.
When lie returned after Sclioonover he
shouted as ho shook tho prostrate form,
"For God's sake, man, got up." Then
it wns he took the watch, fearing that
sumo one else might steal it before the
man got up.
Mr. Searlo tried to establish that the
recollection of the defendant was so
clear that It removed the clement of
drunkenness that changed the degree
of guilt, but Hull gave no answers
that could be deemed compromising.
Hull's testimony, together with the
testimony, on Friday afternoon, of tho
members of his family, to contradict
l.esher, was all the testimony tho de
fense offered.
KV1DKXCK IX KEHUTTAIi.
Claude P.. .Smith, city ticket agent of
the Delaware and Hudson company at
Carhondule, Trans-I'er Man M. J. Stone,
of Carbondale, and Matthew Vegan,
of Carbondale, were called la rebuttal
but nothing of much moment was exe
cuted from them.
The district attorney was eager to
introduce testimony as to the charac
ter of Sclioonover and called Lieuten
ant of Police John Davis for tills pur
pose. Mr. Murphy and Mr. O'Malley
I'hjoi'lcd and! Judge Purdy refused to
admit the testimony. This ended tho
testimony on botli sides.
Two s-peeclies were made for tho
commonwealth, one by Mr. McCarthy
and the other by the1 district attorney.
Mr. Murphy closed for the defense.
Tho surprise of the trial was Hull's
going on the stand- and acknowledging
the killing. Tho facts presented by tho
uimuumwealth were thereby admitted,
generally, differing In detail, only. Tho
claim of self-defense was thrown to
the winds and In its place was intro
duced the element of drunkenness, that
condition of Intoxication which clouded
tho mind and tlrovo away tho realiza
tion of his act.
Mr. McCarthy, In Ills address, dwelt
on the duties of tho jurors, reviewed
tho evidence and urged on the jurors
thopo points which the commonwealth
made strongest In the chain of circum
stantial evidence.
At that, period In tho address whon
Mr. McCarthy referred to Sclioonover's
vudt on Juno 2H to the lonely cemetery
at Wnymnrt. whoro his dear ones were
buried, Miss Kllda Sclioonover, the
adopted daughter of tho deceased, rind
Mrs, M.tttle Frost, his niece, became
so alfected that they were compelled
to leave the court to the corridor where
they wtpt freely.
Mlt. MUltPUV'S AUOUMKNT.
Mr. Murphy in his argument as In
dicated above, told tho jury that tho
defendant did not deny tho killing; he
killed Kdwln Sclioonover, killed him in
the heat of tho excitement following
the hitter's attack on lilm in the brush,
Hu pointed to tho element of drunk
enneiM bo prominent In the case anil
upon tills ho depended for the Jury to
declaio that Hull was guilty, not of
murder for this very clement of drunk
ennets removed It; the condition of
Hull, as established by the witnesses
of the commonwealth, thulr testimony
as to the iiunulily of liquor ho drank
heforo leaving Carbondalo on the train,
at Waymart, while in the company of
Schuoiiovcr, deprived him of his sense
of right or wrong and when Ihe strug
gle came bis uucoutiollalile s-plrlt
showed Itself In his striking at Sclioon
over when aroused by his uttuck.
As proof that tho killing was pot ptc
meditated, Mr. Murphy pointed out that
Hull djd not choose (lie darkness of
night; ho entered the place in the
bright noonday sun, under the -cry
eyes of passing people. If It was his
Intention to destroy Schoonover, he
Would tnke steps that would not bo ob
served by everybody nnd which would
save him from detection.
The district nttornoy concluded tho
commonwealth's plea with nn address
that was delivered with n good deal of
dramatic force, He tnessetl for a ver
dict of murder In the llrst degree, keep
ing before the minds of tho Jurors the
motive of robbery. It was tills on which
the commonwealth rounded Its case.
Kaeh of the attorneys spoke for about
nn hour and a half, Mr. Murphy wns
halt through when coutt adjourned at
noon on Saturday; In the afternoon nt
3 o'clock he finished, Mr. Atkinson fol
lowing htm.
When tho arguments were finished,
Judge Purdy announced that his charge
would not be delivered until 7 o'clock
In the evening.
Jl'DOKS CHAnClK.
There wns nn Immense crowd In ihe
court room nil tiny, but when the even
ing session was about to open there
was a scene thnt was never witnessed
before In the history of the county.
There was a jam In the court room Hint
it never held before, not even when the
celebrated McCabo homicide ease was
on trial llftecn yean ago.
Tho spectacle was a solemn one, when
the mild voice of Judge Purdy began
the charge. Tho hushed silence of the
Immense crowd and tho dimly lighted
court room gavo n dramatic setting
that accentuated the Impressive fea
tures of the proceedings.
Judge Purdy, In Ills charge, gave a
lengthy definition of tho crime of mur
der, rending the opinion nf the late
Justice Agnew, of the Supreme court,
which Is n most thorough analysis of
the offense.
After disposing of tills so as to well
fortify the jurors with n knowledge of
what constitutes murder, Judge Purdy
went into the discussion of the. case
against Hull. There were two things,
ho snld, for tho jury to decide, namely:
Was the body found in the brush of
Hie woods, near Wiiymnrt, thnt of Kd
wln HehoonoverV
If tho body wns that of Kdwln
Sclioonover, was he killed by the de
fendant',' Speaking of Intoxication, which wns
tho foundation of the plea of the de
fense, tho judge said that it was not an
excuse for crime, unless the defendant
was so intoxicated as to bo unable to
form the intent and not to appreciate
tho consequences. Malice is necessary
in the crime of minder, but it should
be borne In mind that murder perpe
trated in the act or attempt nt robbery
is murder of the first degree, whether
there was an intent to kill or not.
TKSTIMONY OF I.KSHKti.
In justice to tho defendant, Judge
Purdy said he wns obliged to call at
tention to the testimony of Professor
l.esher, who described meeting tho de
fendant, wllh evidences of a struggle
on his person. This should be consid
ered in connection with the other evi
dence. The defendant, he concluded, was to
receive tho benefit of every doubt. Un
less lie was believed to be guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt, he should bo ac
quitted. I?y a reasonable doubt it is
meant not a fanciful one, but one grow
ing out of the circumstances of tho
case.
Judge Purdy finished nt S.OS, when
the question of null's innocence or
guilt was given to the jury.
During the course of his charge,
Judge Purdy affirmed, with a few
qualifications, all of the law points sub
mitted, four by tho commonwealth and
ten by the defense.
During his address to tho jury, Dis
trict Attorney Atkinson referred lo
Hull as "tho murderer" and to Sclioon
over as "the murdered."
Judge Purdy was not present at the
time; ho was In his chamber. During
Ills absence, Mr. Murphy prepared an
atlidavit f-etting forth this fact, as re
quired, because of the judge not hear
ing Hie expressions. Mr. Murphy and
Hull signed the aflldavit, and it was
placed on tho record.
Tlie other statement which will ho
excepted to is the expression of the dis
trict attorney that ho wished ho could
say something to tho jury, but if ho
did tho indignation of the public would
rise up against the prisoner. Tills is re
garded ns an introduction nf the ele
ment of coercion of public opinion,
against which the Supreme court has
ruled.

Friends nntl Sympathizers to Re
frain from Lnw Breaking.
Yesterday. Sabbath though 11 wns,
witnessed the most serious disorder of
any day since the strike began. Pitts
ton nvenue was the scone of the dis
turbance. Two crowds gathered, one
at Genet street, in the Twentieth ward,
nnd another at Hemlock street, in tho
Twelfth ward. The six cars that were
being run on the South Side lino had
encountered obstructions all along the
route, during tho entire day, but the
crews and special officers accompany
ing them cleared the tracks as they
proceeded and managed to keep tho lino
open. This aggravated those who had
placed the obstructions, and, along
nbout 3 o'clock p. in., tho crowd at
Genet street, that tip to tills time had
contented itself with hooting the crews,
made nn onslaught on a car that was
outward bound.
A special officer, aboard the car,
grabbed a boy who wns throwing stones
and attempted to drag him aboard tho
car. The crowd rescued the boy, and
then began to bombard the car with
stones. Tho motorman, S. C. Moflltt,
was struck on the head with a large
stone and rendered unconscious. A
passenger, Mrs. Jones, who lives at tho
corner of Pittston avenue nnd Fear
street, was struck on tho bead nnd sus
tained a severe scalp wound. Mrs.
Tones hud to be assisted to her home.
Tho motorman was taken lo the Scran
ton Private hospital for treatment. It
was reported last night that ho had
sustained a fracture at the base of tho
skull and that his life was in danger.
MOKE RIOTING.
Special Agent Morgan Sweeney, with
a special olllcer, ran tho car back to
wards tho city with the wounded
motorman aboard. When Hemlock
street was reached the car encountered
more obstructions tyul a big crowd. An
Hungarian trackman, who was put to
work clearing away tho obstructions,
was seized by the crowd and carried to
tho Koaring Krook bridge, where ho
was suspended by the coat collar over
the, railing for several minutes, while
he alternately yelled frantically and
prayed loudly. Some of the mob wanted
thnt ho should bo dropped into the
brook, but cooler heads prevailed, and
nftcr scaring tho poor fellow hulf to
death, ho was hauled from his perilous
position, given a brutal beating and re
leased. Heforo letting him an tho mob
decorated him with tags, on which was
printed: "I walk. Do you walk? Kead
the Scranton Times."
More stones were thrown at the car
with tho injured and unconscious
motorman aboard, and one of the
missiles struck Special Agent Sweeney
in tho side with such force as to break
tho case of his watch. The car finally
got through and sped away to the hos
pital. The wounded "import," by a strange
coincidence, was placed in tho room nt
the hospital fitted up by the Conduc
tous' and Molorman's Mutual IicnelU
association, an organization composed
of tho men now on strike.

FEW PASSENGHttS CAItltlKD.
It was claimed by the company thnt
:i rainy day would see the cars carry
ing tunny passengers. It rained yester
day, til most all tiny long, sometimes
very heavy. There wore fewer pas
sengers carried yesterday than on any
day since tho slrllto began. The men
were In high glee over tills fact, but the
company olllclals were not disappoint
ed, they said, for tile reason that be
ing Sunday, wllh rain setting In early
there were few abroad who had occa
sion to use the cars. Had It heen n
week day, the company olllcluls de
clared, there would have been n differ
ent storv lo toll.
Saturday was a very tumultuous
dny. Residents of upper Lafayette
street were bent on preventing the np
erntlon of thnt lino nnd turned out in
thousands till along the route to do
whnt they could to obstruct the cars.
At nearly every street Intersection
large mounds of stones, trees and
rubbish of all sorts vi'oro piled up and
on the hill nhovc Garfield avenue the
rails were greased and rc-grensed.
At tho Everett avenue Intersection,
nn Immense boulder, weighing a ton
or more, wns placed between the rails
nnd n huge bnn-flro built nbout it.
The purpose was to make the stone so
hot that the company men could not
handle ll.
A car came along with half a dozen
special ofllccrs nboard. When It halt
ed nt tlte obstruction It wns Immediate
ly surrounded by a largo crowd, com
posed principally of women nnd chil
dren. The company men were hlsseti
and hooted and when they nllghled to
leinovc the obstruction the crowd be
gan to buffet them about.
DAVID JONES HrttT.
A general mix-up ensued, with Iho
result that David Jones, one of the
assailants, had Ills heud cut open by
a blow from tho club of one of the
several patrolmen who had come up
nftcr tho fuss started, and lie, with
ills wife, Joseph Reynolds, Jennie
James and Ellen Sehnell were nrrest
ed, placed aboard tho car and hauled
to Alderman Howe's ofllco for a hear
ing. Owing to the absence Of Attorney
E. C. Nowcomb, who was summoned
to defend the prisoners, the Iteming
was put over until this afternoon nl
4 o'clock. The prisoners were released
under ball,
Saturday night, about 9 o'clock a car
loud of imported men were being trans
ferred from this Linden street barn to
tho sleeping quarters in tho company's
ofllces on Lackawanna avenue. The
central city streets were crowded nt
that hour, and, as tho car stopped in
front of the company's ofllces, it wns
surrounded by fully 2,000 persons.
First there were murmurs, then hiss
es, thou came cries of "Hit him," "Kill
tho scabs" and the like. One of tho
llrst to call out "Hit him" was Joseph
Philbin, of Powder nvenue. Superin
tendent of Police Robling, in plain
clothes, happened to bo standing at his
elbow, nnd no sooner were the words
utteted than ho calmly but (irmly
upperctit Philbin on tho chin and
caused him to drop like a log. The su
perintendent quickly picked him up
and started with him for the station
house. Tho crowd surged nbout him
in a threatening manner nnd tho police
had to use their clubs freely to dis
perse it. Philbin spent two hours in
jail and then got ont by paying a
$10 fine for disorderly conduct and fur
nishing .$"00 bail to answer at court
for inciting riot.
DISTRACTED 'ATTENTION.
Tho iirrest of Philbin distracted at
tention from the imports nnd they
went up to the offices unmolested.
Had the threatened outbreak not
been so fortunately quieted a serious
disturbance might have resulted.
Among tho imports in tho car were
mnny special officers and hulf a hun
dred others wore in the company's
ofllces ready to take a hand If neces
sary in protecting the men in the car.
The city officials havo decided that
it is imperative to take aggressive ac
tion to keep the streets free from the
obstruction which strike sympathizers
are dally piling on tho enr tracks.
These obstructions have already caus
ed several runaways and the conse
quence is tho city will havo many
damage, suits to defend. More than
that, there is a danger that some of
these runaways may result in serious
injury or dcatli nnd tho city Is morally
responsible to use its every means to
prevent it. Tho expense of carting
away tlieso obstructions which also
falls on tho- city is another considera
tion prompting the move.
As one of the means of putting a
stop to this practice. Director of Public
Safety Wormser has sworn In a large
number of special ofllcers to patrol the
districts where this practice more gen
erally obtains. They nro under in
structions to not only nrrest such of
fenders us they capture, in tho act, but

SPECIAL MECT1NO CALLED.
The only move to settle the strike, nn
far ns Is gcnerully known, Is that pro
jected by Chairman P, F. Cnlpln, of
common council. Select council Is to
hold u special meeting Monday night
to consider his lesolutlon for a Joint
committee of three selectmen nntl thtee
commoners to act as medlutors. H Is
proposed to havo tills coiniullleo wait
upon tho company olllclals unit en
deavor to secure some concessions Unit
will Induce the men to return to work.
It Is tins general opinion the com
mittee will hnvu Its troubles for Its
pnlns. The company declares It will
nut guarantee to take all the old men
buck, nnd that under no circumstances
will It enter Into another contrnct with
tho union. Tho strikers say tho men
must be taken back In a body, nml un
nssuranco furnished thnt the contrnct
will bo lived up tn religiously. The
matter of the discharged men will
probably bo taken nut of the contro
versy, Gordon nnd Curden having de
termined to seek u vindication In
court. Nothing definite, however, has
boon done regarding tills.
The Clerks' association nnd Mine
Workers Local SOS have passed resolu
tions endorsing the strike nnd proffer
ing aid to tho strikers.
