"Whltclaw Held, our special ambassa

which jolly old General Ilosecrans was
' very fond of narrating.
It seems, according to the story, that
Mr. Held, nt the time a young man,
whs serving as war correspondent for
tho Cincinnati C0mmerelal.Ga7.ette
with Hoseurans' army In West Virginia,
He did some good work, but, one Uuy
"Old nosey", was astonished to see In

"J sent an orderly to fetch Mr. Held

"Mr. Held looked unpleasantly sur

SELF-DEFENSE
IS THE PLEA
cosanovE will go on the
STAND TODAY.
A Night Session of Court Was Held
Last Night, Which Enabled the
Jury to Get Practically All of the
Evidence in the Case, with ,tho
Exception of That of the Defend-
.. ant Stories Told by the Men
with Cosgrovo on Dec. 9 Last.
Efforts will be made to get all of the
evidence In the Cosgrove case to the
Jury today, and It Is possible the ar
guments will nlsn be made. Judge
Lynch rushed matters yesterday, and
with tho assistance of a night ses
sion, the greater part of the evidence
that will bo offered In the case was In
when court adjourned at 9.30 last night
to meet at 9 o'clock this morning. The
feature of todny's session will be the
testimony of the defendant, Cosgrove,
who will toll the Jury about tho hap
penings ot Dec. 9, from his point of
view. Tho defense Is confident of an
acquittul on the ground of self-defense.
MAGIIRAN'S STORY.
AVhen court opened yesterday morn
ing, David Holvey again went on the
stand for further cross examination.
Ho declared that when he saw Cos
grove point his revolver at McAuliffe
and shoot, the revolver was aimed
about at McAullffe's breast.
David "Williams; another eye-witness
to tho shooting, testified that when
McAuliffe was about twenty-five feet
from Cosgrove he saw the latter take
aim and fire and wound McAuliffe.
AVllllam Maghran said he was at the
bar, shaking dice with John Dacey and
John McDonough, when Kofczneskl
tapped him on tho shoulder and said
he had a warrant for him. He de
clined to go wtyh Kofczneskl, as his
name was not John Doe, the one given
In the warrant, and Kofczneskl tried
to pull him out through the door. His
coat caught in the latch and Kofczne
skl 's hands slipped from their hold on
his coat and the momentum this gave
the officer caused him to go backward
off the porch. He noticed that Mc
Auliffe was on the ground walking
away and then heard a shot, followed
by the cry of McAuliffe that he was
shot.
John Dacey, John McDonough and
Thomas Prosser testified that they saw
the shooting and that McAuliffe was
some distance away from Cosgrove,
the distance varying from twenty to
thirty feet, when he was struck by the
ball from Cosgrove's revolver.
Alderman John T. Howe was called
to prove that he went to the Lacka
wanna hospital on Dec. 14 to take Mc
Aullffe's dying declaration with refer
ence to tho shooting. This declaration
he reduced to writing. Its admission
was objected on the ground that the
evldenee of the physicians called by
the commonwealth showed that from
the time of tho operation until his
death McAullffe's mind was wandering
and sinking. This question was argued
at some length, Attorneys O'Brien and
Warren for the defense insisting that
the commonwealth should show that
McAuliffe was in sound mind at the
time ana conscious ot me taci tnai
he was going to die. Judge Lynch de
cided to admit the evidence. J
HIS DYING STATEMENT.
Alderman Howe then said that on
Dee. 14 about noon he went to the
Lackawanna hospital with Captain ot
Police Thomas Williams. At the hos
pital they met John McAuliffe, , the
brother of the deceased. The witness
reduced McAullffe's statement to writ
ing and then read it to him and had
him sign it. The statement set forth
that on Dec. !) he was shot by S. F.
Cosgrove outside of .Moran's saloon.
He had no part In the scuffle and went
outside with the others In the place to
see what was going on. As soon as
they were outside the three officers be
gan to shoot and a ball from Cos
grove's revolver struck him.
John McAulltfe, brother of Daniel Mc
Auliffe, testified to tho death of Daniel
In the Lackawanna hospital on Dee.
18, 1901. With the testimony the com
monwealth rested.
Major Warren opened the case for the
defense. He said that Sylvester F.
Cosgrovo had been for years engaged
In upholding the law and not In tear
ing It down. They would produce tes
timony from reputable men in every
walk of life who would testify to his
good and law abiding character. For
months before the shooting they would
show that McAuliffe had followed no
regular occupation, had drank heavily
and a week before the shooting he was
placed under ball for it depredation
committed on tho property of tho
Scranton Rullway company, whose
employes were then on strike, He said
Cosgrove and his two companions were
surrounded by a hostile mob outside ot
Moran's hotel that- day and fired In
self-defense. They were there for an
honest purpose, to uphold tho law and
with no malice toward Daniel McAu
liffe whom they did not know. When
the defense showed this condition they
would ask for an acquittal.
KINSLEY ON THE STAND,
Frank Kinsley, who Is also under In
dictment for this murder, was the first
witness for the defense and lives on
Ninth street. He came here from Man
chester, N, H on Oct, 23 lust. Ho be
gan to work for the Scranton Hallway
company Oct, lifl and was In that com
pany's emnloy us u motorman on Dec.
9 last, his run being fiom tho central
city to tho end of Luzerne street. On
Dec. 9 ho met Kofczenskl at tho office
ot tho Scranton Railway company.
About an hour before that ho saw Wil
liam Mitghran at Luserno and Seven
teenth streets and recognized him as
a mun who had attacked his car tho
night before, Kofczenskl had a war
rant for Maghran, whoso name was
not then known, and asked witness to
go with him to Identify Maghran. Cos,
grove also went along, About 12.30 they
reached Morun's saloon In search of
their man. They went In and he point
ed out Maghran as the perbon wanted,
They went toward the end of tho bar
where Maghran was standing and
Kofczenskl asked Maghran to step out
side. The latter said: "Your a d
scab and I won't go with you." Kof
czenskl replied that he was not a scab
but an officer In the discharge of Ills
duty and drew out his warrunt and be
gan to read t. When ho reached the
name John Doe some one said: "That's
not your name; don't go with him,"
and then John Dunleavy reached over
uud struck Kofczenskl under, the right
eye. Then nil those surrounding them
began to strike at Kofczenskl, ripped
off his collar and tore his shrt. Just
before the fight started tome one said
to Cosgrove! "You were down at the
tight Inst night and got hit nnd you
came back for some more, did you."
Mis description of the man who said
this tallies with the description of Mc
Auliffe and the clothes ho wore on Deo.
9. About this time witness saw Magh
ran pass something behind his back to
Dunleavy which ho believed at the time
was a dark metal revolver.
WAS AFTER HIM.
When Kofczenskl went through the
door witness was after him. Cosgrovo
was outside at this time. Witness was
struck and Just then he heard five
shots fired In the bHrroom. When ho.
got outside the crowd was pounding
Kofczenskl nnd Cosgrove was down
from the porch with a revolver In his
hand and said: "Leave that man
atone; he Is an officer of the law."
Witness went to Kofczenskl's assist
ance nnd pulled Dunleavy away from
him. As ho did so John O'Rourke be
gan to strike him over tho head with
his cane. He tried to warn the men oft
and then drew his revolver. He fired
In the ground and then seeing Dun
leavy with O'Rourke's cane raised to
strike him over the head he raised his
revolver nnd the bullet struck Dun
leavy In the wrist.
Kinsley said he went toward the
middle ot the road and seeing a man,
who he believed was McAuliffe, point
ing a revolver at Cosgrove, ho called
to the latter to look out for himself.
Stones nnd clubs were being thrown at
the three of them as they retreated up
the street, the members of the crowd
yelling: "Don't let them get away,"
"Kill them," etc. McAuliffe threw a
club at Cosgrove, and then Cosgrove
fired. That was tho end of tho disturb
ance. The club thrown at Cosgrovo by
McAuliffe was the one which Mrs,
Moran took from behind tho bar when
the row began. While they were back
ing up' toward Fifteenth street, Mc
Aullffe's hat was knocked off by u
stone. Witness fired five shots during
the melee. Ho did see Miss Dacey as
they got on the'ear and was sure that
Cosgrove did not make the . remark
which she attributed to him. Before
December 9 he had trouble with
Maghran and McAuliffe, but the others
were all strangers to him.
On cross-examination he said he car
ried a revolver for self-protection dur
ing the strike, although he was not an
officer. When they entered Moran's
place he would say that forty or fifty
persons were In the barroom.
KOFCZENSKI'S VERSION.
Frank Kofczenskl was next sworn.
He, too, is under indictment for tho
murder. He said he has lived In this
city about nineteen years. On Decem
ber 9, last, he held a commission as an
additional patrolman of this city. He
was appointed May 3, 1901, by the then
director of public safety. F. L. Hitch
cook. On December 9, Alderman Millar
placed a warrant in his hands. He went
to the Scranton Railway company's
office, where he met Kinsley and Cos
grove and they went with , him to
Moran's place, where Kinsley pointed
to Maghran as the man they wanted.
He went up to him and asked him to
step outside, as he had some business
with him. Maghran laughed, and Mc
Auliffe, who stood close to them, called
them scabs, and turning to Cotgrove
said to him that he got it last night
and had come back for more and would
get it. Maghran would not go with
him, and ho read the warrant. When
he got to the name John Doe they all
began to laugh at him and sny, "That's
not his name," and Maghran spoke In
a very Insulting way to him, and Mc
Auliffe grabbed him by the throat.
Cosgrove shouted to let him alone, that
he was an officer.
Witness then started for the door and
some one shouted, "Close the door! Do
not let him out!" About that time some
one tried to reach him with a mine drill
to strike him, but did not succeed. He
forced his way out of tho room and
when he got to tho porch tried to run
away, but the crowd would not let hlin.
During all this time he had not laid a
hand on Maghran. When he began to
be hard pressed outside of the saloon
he looked around to see why his friends
were not helping him and saw that
they were having their own trouble.
While they were inside, Maghran passed
something to Dunlavey,' which no
thought was a revolver. Immediately
after, Dunlavey hit him In the face.
The first shot he heard fired was when
he was jumping off the porch. It was
fired by John' Dunlavey.
WAS STRIKING COSGROVE.
He first saw McAuliffe hitting Cos
grove over the head with a club, after
he got outside. They were on the side
walk. The club was the one taken from
behind Moran's bar by Mrs. Moran. At
this time there was a crowd of twenty
five or thirty nround them, beating
them with clubs, stones, etc., and yell
ing: "Kill the blacklegs!" "Kill tho
scabs!" "Don't let them get away!"
Dunlavey and O'Rourke, who had been
beating him, turned on Kinsley when
he came to his assistance, and O'Rourke
broke a stick over Kinsley's head. Tho
witness and his companions finally got
out in the road and backed up until
they got east of Fifteenth street. Tho
crowd followed them up and threw
stones and they were using their re
volvers to keep them back. They fired
at the feet of the crowd to scare them.
He fired either four or five shots. When
they got to tho cur, finally, his collar
was torn off, his shirt torn, his hat
smashed and his face was scratched
and bruised, He did not hear Cosgrove
say anything about having "winged"
one of tho men who attacked them.
On cross-examination he said that his
commission as an officer has since been
revoked. As ho was going through tho
door of Moran's hotel two shots wore
llred at him by John Dunlavey. Ho
does not know that they hit anyone,
Surrounding him at tho time were jho
friends 'of Dunlavey. Ho pointed his
revolver at McAuliffe us they were be
ing pursued up the street, but found
that all the cartridges had been dis
charged. McAuliffe followed thorn al
most to Fifteenth street, ho declared.
Tho testimony of the witnesses for the
commonwealth was that McAullffo was
shot almost In front of Moran's hotel
at Sixteenth street.
CONDIJCTOU PLUMMER.
George Plummer, who now lives on
the farm of his father at Marshbrook,
was conductor of the cur that Picked
up Cosgrovo and his two companions
on December 9. When he ilrst saw thorn
they were running backwards and side
ways. They had revolvers In their
hands, and ho saw n big crowd chasing
them. Members of tho crowd were
throwing things at tho three men, Ho
noticed puffs of smoko In tho crowd,
followed by sounds of a revolver being
fired. He thought there were-pounds of
two or three shots from tho crowd. He
also saw the officers tire. His cur was
at Thirteenth street, going to the city,
when ho first noticed tho disturbance.
Ho had It stopped and backed until he
met the men near Fourteenth street.
They got on tho car. Kofezneskl's hat
was smashed, his clothes torn and his

POLICE AFTER
NEGRO SUSPECT
NEW CLUE THAT WAS GLEANED
YESTERDAY.
Colored Man with a Bad Becord Was
In the Vicinity of the Scene of the
Crime Early Monday Evening.
His Description Tallies In a Gen
eral Way with That of the Man
Whom Night Watchman Sklllln
gcr Saw Piecing in the Direction
Taken by tho Murderer.
All of last night tho police wcro In
search of a local colored man who is
suspected of being tho brutal murderer
of Mary Qulnn.
A person living near the Bnck road
Informed Lieutenant Davis yesterday
morning thnt a negro was seen pick
ing dandelion greens In a field not far
from tho scene of the murder about
sundown, Monday evening. Tho in
formant was able to give a minute
description of the negro nnd at once
the lieutenant saw that It tallied ex
actly with that of a notorious colored
man whom he, himself, had twice ar
rested, and who, In a general way,
answered the description of tho negro
whom Watchman Skllllnger saw re
treating from tho scene of tho crime.
Inquiry was made for the fellow at
his last place of abode, and It was
found that ho has been missing slnco
Monday. Police In plain clothes were
sent out to scour the city for trace of
the suspect, and, towards nightfall,
word was brought In that he had been
seen In Oakford court on Tuesday.
Where h'e came from or whither ho
went could not be learned. Superin
tendent Day, Detective Delter, Lieuten
ant Davis and Lieutenant Fceney each
accompanied by a patrolman In plain
clothes, started out at 10 o'clock last
night to beat Oakford alley from one
end to the other, in search of the sus
pect. At on early hour this morning,
they were still looking for him,
LOOKING FOR CLUES.
The whole energy of the police de
partment was not confined to the
working out of the new clue. Captain
Williams and Detective Delter spent
yesterday In a further search of the
scone of the crime, in the hope that
they mlghc discover something that
would start them on the right track.
Inquiry was also made down the val
ley for a colored man passing that way
Monday night or Tuesday morning.
They, however, failed to unearth any
thing. Recorder Connell, Director of Public
Safety Wormser and Superintendent
of Police Day, at a conference yester
day morning, decided that it would be
best to offer a reward in addition to
that offered by the county commis
sioners. Accordingly, Recorder Connell
sent to select council last night a com
munication requesting that councils
authorize him to offer a $500 reward.
Select council approved a resolution
granting the authority. It will be con
sidered by common council next Thurs
day night.
Coroner Saltry will conduct an in
quest in tho court house this evening
at 8 o'clock. The jurors are: John Mc
Hale, Dr. J. J. Brennan, Fred Lid
stone, W. R. Hughes, John Howell and
Peter O'Donnell.
An unusually largo throng attended
the funeral of Mary Qulnn, the mur
dered girl, from the homo of her broth
er In Keyser Valley, yesterday morn
ing. The cortege moved from the house
along the road where the girl was as
saulted, and passed the field where her
body was found.
All alons tho route to St. Patrick's
Catholic church hundreds of people
stood In the door ways of houses and
on the street, watching the funeral pro
cession. When the church was reached
at 9.30 o'clock another large assem
blage was gathered therein to attend
the services.
A solemn high mass of requiem was
celebrated by Rev. Frank Walsh, of
Peckvllle, a relative of the dead girl,
and the sermon was preached by Rev.
P. E. Lavelle, assistant pastor of St.
Patrick's church.
He referred to the awfulncss of the
crime, and the uncertainties, of life, and
dwelt particularly on the character of
the victim of tho terrible tragedy. Her
life had been one of devotion to her
home and aged mother who had gone
on but a short tlmo before, and she
had always been known as an exem
plary young woman of noble Instincts.
Rev. Father Lavelle also spoke of the
widespread sympathy expressed by the
people of the city for the grieved fam
ily, and averred that if the perpetra
tor of the dastardly crime does not
