Declared Not Guilty of Having Murdered
Joe Zukufskl.
THE MISSING ITALIANS BEAMED.
A Sequel to the Bloody Lithuanian and
Italian Riot on Coal Street in Which
Three Men and a Woman
Were Shot.
Special to EVESISO llEIIALD.
PorrsviLLK, Juuo 20. Tlio trial of tlio
Italians Mlko Minclla, I'ctro Magono, and
Petro Meco, charged with tlio murder of a
Lithuanian natned Joseph Zukufski at blicn-
andoah in April last, terminated nt 0:45
o'clock last night by tho jury handing in a
verdict to Judgo Albright finding tho accused
not guilty. Tho vordlct was a surprise.
Magono and Meco wero not strongly Im
plicated iu tho affair hy tho evidence,
hut Minclla was caught red-handed
and a verdict of murder in tho first
degreo wa3 expected against him. M
P. McLaughlin and Mr. Bashoro represented
tho Commonwealth, while. M. M. Burko,
Esq., of Shenandoah, and II. O. Bcchtel,
Esq., of Pottsvllle, conducted tho case for the
Italians.
Zukofski was killed during a gonoral fight
between Italians and Lithuanians on West
Coal street. Ho waa not murdorcd on the
spot, but Uvod for several days, finally sue.
climbing to a pistol shot wound which tho
Commonwealth allogcd was Indicted by
Minclla. Two of tho Italians who wero en
gaged In tho fracas escaped and havo not
sinco been capturod. It was claimed hy
tho dufenso that it was ono of tho two miss-
ing Italians that killed Joo Zukufski. Tho
ovidonco clearly showed that ono of them
shot Zukufski's mother.
During tho trial tho Commonwealth
lawyers had referred to tlio fracas as a rnco
war. In summing up attornoys for tho
defenso arguod that it was not a rnco war,
hut a caso of tho biters having been bitten
It was claimed that Joo Zukufskl was a
vicious and quarrelsome follow and in trying
to get tho best of tlio Italians had brought on
tho affray which ultimately resulted in his
own death. It was further argued that Zu
kufski was ono of tho class that crowd
tho calendars with cases at every term
of tho criminal court in this county
and that had tho Italians not been
molested thoro would havo boon no trouble
at all. As to tlio facts of tho caso tho de
fense claimed that it was an impossibility for
eithor of the defendants to havo shot Zu-
kufaki; that tho testimony showed tho bul
let had entered Zukufski's buck and all tho
testimony agreed that tho three Italians woro
in front of Zukufski during tho fight.
In summing up for tho Commonwealth Mr,
McLaughlin pointed out tho fact thatMiuolla
was not only seen at tho affray with a knife
and revolver in hand, but also caught while
running back to tho place with a Winchester
riilo in his hand. At this point tlio Deputy
District Attorney paid u tribute to Uetectiv
Richard Amour, saying that at grcattrisk of
lifo tho otlicor wrestled ami disarmed Minolla
before tho riilo could bo used mid it was little
less than a miracle that the jury was not
trying somo of tho Italians for the murder of
tho detective
Tho jury evidently believed tho claim of
tho defenso that tho accused did not fight be-
hind Minella's back and causo tho fatal wound
and that tho murder was committed by ono
of tho two Italians that cannot bo found.
Minolla, Magono and Meco are now boing
held on a charge, of having committed an
assault with iutont to kill on Mrs, Zukufski,
tlio mother of tho murdered man.
TWO H11KL SUITS.
Tlio excitement of two murder trials being
conducted at ono aud tho same time having
passed off, tho unusual largo crowds which
attended these trials have disappeared aud tho
court rooms havo again taken on their
sombro appoarauco.
Two libel suit9 havo taken tho place of tho
murder cases. Tho ouo before Judge Savidgo
iu No. 1 room is tlio suit of It. O. Jones,
Superintendent of tho VuIohu Iron Works, of
Tamaqua, vs. tho Tamaqna Courier; tho
othor that of Prof. Coopor vs. C, D. Arters
and Livingston Seltzer.
In the formor suit George J. Wadllnger and
If. F. Graoli" represent tho defense, and J.
O. Ulrich is counsel for tlio plaintiff. This is
tho same suit iu which Mr. Wadliuccr had
tho indictment quashed last term and tried
unsuccessfully to do tho samo wlion tlio case
was opouod yesterday, immediately after the
jury in the Eisonhowor murder cabe retired.
W. H. Boyd was tho first witness called this
morning. Ho was followed hy Mrs. Sophia
M. Harris, widow of l'obort Harris, de
ceased. Sho stated that at tlio death of her
husband sho becamo tho administratrix of
his estate and part of tho estate was the
newspaper plant of the Tamaqua Courier.
That she hired reporters and that her ton
was business manager. She did not know
what articles wero printed in tho paper. They
wore never shown to her. Harry Walter, a
reporter for tho paper, and John Harris, the
business manager, followed her, Bobert II.
Hirbch, o.f tho Tamaqua Recorder, was then
called and was asked to identify a copy of
tho Itecordor of tho 21st of April last. 'Ilie
pajier was then offered in ovldence by the
defense hut was ohjectod to by tho prosecu
tion and ruled out.
At this point the defenso rested and George
J. Wadllnger began his address to the Jury,
as the prosoeution had no rebuttal evidence.
A number of Tamaqua residents woro in at
tendance aud occupied seats within tho rail
ing. '
Tho suit Is brought for tho publication of
an article iu the Courier, attacking the
methods and character of ono who had been
writing articloa iu tho Tamaqua Iiecorder
uudor tho name of "Cynic," the author of
which is said to be'.the prosecutor In the case.
The other libel suit is that of Prof. J. W.
Coopor, principal of tho Shouandonh High
sohool, agalust Prof. C. D. Arters, princiil
of the Cressuua schools, and Prof. Livingston

culating a libelous circular against Prof.
Cooper during his canvass for the County
Suporlutendoncy. W. J. Whitehouse and V.
A. Snyder, Esqs., aro counsel for the de
fendants, while ox-Judge liyon represents

ing session was taken up in citing authorities
and arguing law points.

A PROBABLE MAJORITY OF SIXTEEN

New Ybnrc, June 20. Democratic con
ventions hnvo already been held In every
state of tho Union. In Toxas two state
conventions wero held, ono electing gold
dolegatos and the other silver. Tho silver
men claim tho regular organization, and
tho state, with 80 votes, Is allotted to them
In this statement, which is made hy tho
tho gold standard people, as Is tho terri
tory of Alaska, with hor 5 votes, though
no news has boon received from thoro.
Tho national convention will bo com
posed of 030 delegates. Unless tho two
thirds rulo Is abrogated tho silver men
will requlro 620 delegates to nominate a
candidate for president. According to
tho flgurosgiven out hy the gold men tho
sllverltos tiavo 531, or 3d short of two-
thirds. This Is allowing tho gold men
hoth Michigan nnd Wisconsin, with their
62 votes.
But tho sllvor men In tho Wisconsin
Democratic delegation announce that they
will bolt tho unit rule Imposed upon tho
delegates by tho state convention when
they vote on tho platform in Ohicngo.
Thoy argue that if tho national convention
does not insist upon tho unit rulo they
will not ho hound by tho action of the
state convontlon, nnd they point to the
fact that tho state convention refused to
respect tho unit rulo mado by somo of tho
counties.
Tho Mlchignn delegation stands 13 for
silver to 15 for cold. Tho Democratic stato
convention Instructed for gold nud adopted
tho unit rule, so that tho entiro delegation
would bo compelled to veto ns tho ma
jority wlllod. But tho silver men havo
started contests In two districts now rep
resented hy tho gold men. By unseating
two gold delegates tho silver men will
hnvo n majority of tho wholo delegation,
nnd Michigan's votes would then go for
silver. This, with Wisconsin s 21, would
give tho silverltcs 10 votes over tho neccs-
Bury two-thirds.
