THE IDENTIFICATION POSITIVE I
Rev, AbromaltlB Appears Before Justice
Shoemaker and Swears That Wills
la One of the Burglars Who
Threatened Bis Life.
The burglary at St. George's Lithuanian
church and parsonage last Sunday morning
Is apparently pretty well cleared up and tho
indications are that within a few days the
two burglars who figuied in the case will be
prisoners. Until mon are known, but one has
kept himself under cover better than the
other and escaped arrest for the present. He
has one of two goals Into which lie must
land either surrender and servo time for
the job, or leavo tills part of tho country and
no lunger worry its occupants by his pres
ence.
Michael Wills, the man who was identified
as one of the burglars at tho parsonage yis-
tertlay by Jtev. Peter Abromaitis, was liven
a hearing before Justice Shoemaker early
last evening. Hev. Abromaitis was put on
tho witness stand and unhesitatingly identi
fied Wills. Hu said Wills was tho man who
threatened to 1111 his head with bullets if a
cry or alarm was made, was tho ono who
naked for the money and watch and starched
lor them, and also the man who wanted to
blow open the s'ife, In brief, tho chief actor
in the affair is in custody and bound to be
convicted regardless of tho escape of the
other burglar. The missing man is not so
much sought as Wills would have been had
the other been Hrst captured.
After the clergymati had given his story
Wills was asked what ho. had to say and he
replied that he could say nothing except that
he was nut guilty. Later he said that he had
slept In the winter sbauty on Glovor's Hill
for a month before tho day Policeman Holin
and Uurgess Tabor visited the placo and
arrested him, and that he was asleep in the
shanty at the timo tho burglaries are alleged
to hao taken place. Ho said the shanty is
used as a club room by young men of
llrownsville and Glover's Hill.
From the statements Wills has mado about
tho shanty where tho arrest was made it ap
pears that the place is a haunt for crooks and
the Girard Estate or other owners of the
property on which It is located, will prob
iibly bo asked by tho authorities to either
demolish It, or put It to bettor use.
Wills said ho was ralsod in this town, but
left it about fifteen years ago. He claims
that ho was working In the soft coal legion
and returned hero because work was scarce
in tho other region, Tho man refused to
discloso the names of his friends or relatives
In town and declined an offer of Justice
Shocmakor to send a message to them.
Chief Uurgess Tabor took Wills to the
l'ottsvillo jail last evciiing, tho prisoner
having been committed without hail. When
they alighted at the Pennsylvania station at
Pottsvlllo Detective Meiswinklo, who is
stationed there, identified tho prisonor and
significantly exclaimed : "Whore did you
get that man ? That Is a good capture."
It was learned last night that Wills lias
many family connections iu town, but not
with tho families of tho same name nowliv
ing here. Tho people with whom ho is con
nected are respectable, and therefore their
names are withheld. Wills has been an out
cast for about 20 years. When not engaged
in crooked work he has played upon the sym
pathies of tho charitable with bogus stoiics
of misfortune. His pet scheme has boon to
lay luw for a railroad or ruiue accident of
sumo importance and a few days after appear
in sliain bandages and beg for help. Ho has
been known to repeatedly apply ily blisters
to his neck and arms to add color to his
stories,

created by tho bill. Section 13, pro

WHY THEY DEMAND ACQUITTAL !
The Evidence Shows That the Prisoners
Were Lawfully Aiding the Sheriff,
And it Has Not Been Shown That
Ceslak Was Killed After
the Necessity For Fir
ing Ceased.
WlikpHbarre, March C The defense
In the case of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies closed finally yesterday after
recalling some of the commonwealth's
witnesses to ascertain whether, at the
preliminary hearing lust September,
they testified that at the meeting of
the strikers at Harwood on the night
before the shooting they all agreed not
to carry crubs or weapons of any kind.
Andrew Slvnr, No. 1, did not think
he fold anything about this feature.
Andrew Slvar, No. 2, suid he had sworn
that they agreed not to carry clubs.
John I.aughran did not remember any
thing he said last September und
neither did Frank Kupa.
Arlo Pardee I'latt, the last witness,
was asked if Chief of the Coal and Iron
Police Hampton was at Lattlmer at
the time of the shooting, lie said he
was not. This was for the purpose of
contradicting some of the common
wealth's witnesses.
The commonwealth then Introduced
evidence In rebuttal. T. P. Ilyder, I. II.
Struuss and C. 13. Keek, who met the
sheriff a few mimiiuties after he
reached this city from the scene of the
shooting, said they saw no mark, dis
coloration or bruise on the sheriff's face.
Joseph Costello was recalled for the
purpose of showing additional facts in
regard to threats of violence made by
Deputy A. IS. Iless against Costello,
who was helping a wounded striker.
Counsel for the defense objected to this
evidence, but the objection was over
ruled by Judge Woodward.
"I wus helping a wounded striker,"
said the witness, "when Hess came up.
I suid: 'It's a d shame to treat these
poor fellows this way.' 'Shut up,' cried
Iless, 'or I'll treat you the same way,'
and he leveled his gun at me."
"Did you write me a letter during
this trial?" asked Judge Woodward.
"No, sir," replied the witness.
The commonwealth closed Its case at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after
hearing a few witnesses In rebuttal on
unimportant points, for most of the
testimony they hoped to thus get be
fore the Jury was ruled out by the
court.
The defense submitted the following
points for the consideration of the
court In his charge to the Jury:
"The sheriff Is the chief conservator
of the public peace within his baili
wick, and Is bound, ex-ofllclo, to the
performance of this duty. Vor this pur
pose he may command the power of
the county, and every male over the
age of 15 years Is bound to obey this
call under piiln of Hue and imprison
ment. "If It Is made to appear to blm that
tumult or riot Is threatened ho mas
make the call. In the determination
of this fact ho exercises a Judicial
power, und his judgment canot be ex
amined into and reviewed lu interim
proceedings agninst him. In the light
of subsequent events.
"Evidence that each one. or par
ticular ones, acted lllcgnily or ma
liciously Is not proof of a conspiracy.
"Thero Is no evidence in this case
which would warrant a finding that
the defendants were an unlawful as
semblage. "The question of whether It was
necessary to resort to the extreme
means of firing on the strikers In order
to disperse them was one of Judgment,
which cannot bo questioned, even
though It shall appear that the firing
was not necessary, If the Judgment
was honestly formed and executed.
"If any deputy wilfully, knowingly
nnd maliciously continued firing after
the necessity for Hi lug had ceased, and
did by such firing kill Mike Ceslak, he
may be found guilty under the in
dictment, but lo convict any ono the
Jury must bo satisfied beyond a reason
able doubt that some person did so
lire, and be able to Identify the person;
that he did it wilfully and maliciously.
Intending to kill; that Mlko Ceslak was
killed by such person.
"As tho testimony does not dis
close the Identity of nny person who
llred In the manner described, a con
viction of any of the prisoners would
not be warranted.
"Uefore any one of the prisoners can
be convicted, the Jury must be satis
fled beyond a reasonable doubt that
somo one of them had special malice
toward the deceased, or general malice
toward the whole body of strikers, und
Intended unlawfully to kill some one of
them, without earing which one.
"It appears from the evidence, sub
stantially without dispute, that the
prisoners were lawfully aiding the
sheriff as a posse, duly appointed, at
the lime Alike Ceslak was killed, and
that their purpose was to disperse an
unlawful assemblage, of which the de
ceased wiib one; that there was no
conspiracy among them to do an un
lawful act or to do a lawful act In un
unlawful way. Therefore, the act of
one cannot be Imputed to the others.
Kach one Is to be held accountable only
for what he himself did. The evidence
falling to Identify the person who shot
Mike Ceslak. there can bo no conviction
under the Indictment."
