A MINER UNDER GRAYE CHARGES. It is Alleged That Owens Was Killed by a Fall of Rock, and Hot by the Kick of a Mule The Miner Held Fer Trial. One of the most rohmkable cases in tho history of tho Anthracite region lias been placed upon the record by tho devolopmentof the sequel to a fatal accident that occulted at 'acker colliery No. 3, operated by tho Lehigh Valley Coal Company, during the early part of this month. i The case involves a multiplicity of circum- sUncos of a serious character, tho chief no of which assumes the character of perjury, for which ono man is behind the bars at the lockup. It is not unlikely that It will bo followed by a re-opeaillE of a Coroner's In quest, the arraignment of mine olllcials, and possibly a suit for daunges against tho com- auy operating tbo mine. If tho facts thus far presented aro substantiated by the evi dence promised, this ft 111 be tho result. Ou August ptb, last, a young married man named Alfred Owons, employed as a driver at Packer No. 3 colllory, Was found dead in the gangway of tho lnino. His neck wis broken. Owens was employed as a driver. Tho conclusion reached by tho Coroner's jury was mat tno victim met his death by either being kicked by the mule, or thrown from the animal's back. The verdiet was rendered on the 7th Inst., the victim was buried and the case passed from memory as one of the accidental deaths, until a few days ago, when partios mterosted In the widow and her three children heard grave minors, which led to an investigation. Inquiry led to tlie discovery that one Joseph Kazakiewloz tbld a saloonkeeper that Owens was not killed by a mule, but by a fall of rock and coal. School Director John T. Lee. the fostor father of the widow, took up tno rumor and, with Mino Inspector William Stein and Constable Thomas Boliu, ran it down to Its source The saloonkeeper repeated the story told hint and at about threo o'clock yestorday morning Constable Bolln took Kazaklowtcz Into custody at his boarding house, upou'his return from work. Tho prisoner concluded to tell tho whole truth in connection with Owen's death aud tho following statemeut, sworn to by Kaza Liewlcz before Justice Shoemaker, was the result : 'Joseph Kazakiewlcz. belne dnlv says that ono Alfred Owens, of Shouandoah, kiiicu uy a iau m coat ana rook at Packer No. 3 colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. This deponent now declares mai oeiore me uoroi.er's Inquest, hold August 7. ISM. on tho bodv of thn l,l Ho. ceased, one William Julis, of West Mahanoy township, a miner in the mines where the deceased was killed, corruptly and falsely swore, and also solicited and advised his lauorers, tno uepouent and Charles Barowsko, alias Charles Boro, to falsely swear that the uocoaseu met uis aeatn by a kick .from a mule, and carried his body 15X1 to 200 yards from the place where ho was actually killed, to give credence to their statemeut." Upon this information a warrant wis sworn out before Justice Shoemaker by Deputy Coroner Cardln for the arrost of Julis on a charge of perjury. From three o clock yostorday morning un til after threo o'clock yesterday afternoon, Constable Bolln kept up a continuous hunt for Julis, occasionally assisted by Policeman Urultis. Julis was finally located and arrested by Bolln in a West Centre street saloon. He was placed in the lockup to await a hearing to-day. The story as told by Kazakiewlcz, and not shown by tho information upon which the warrant was Issued, is this: Julis, wboie right name is said to be Mike Yurkois, was a miucr with th two laborers mentioned In the Information as his laborers. A fall of rock and coal in the gangway killed Owens, tho driver. Tho body was removed from be neath the fall, after which Julis ordered the laborers to go back to the car and load It. When tho car was half loaded Julis called the laborers out and got them to carry the body to the point on the gangway where it was found. Julis, It is alleged, warned the two laborers to do as ho told tbem, under penalty oi losing ineir joos. Alter tne body was placed in the gangway Julis lit the lamp of tho victim and placed it with the cap near the body. Julis then went to the bottom of the slope and told the men there that he fonnd tho body of the driver on the gang' way. At tho Coroner's inquest Julis testified to tho finding of the body and acted as Inter preter for the two laborers. The stories were presented by Julis In such a straightforward and convincing manner that the Jury promptly rendered a verdict to the effect that Owens was killed by his mule. According to the police authorities Julis has a bad record, and somo of his country men say his record on the other side of the Atlantic is also bad. He is a single man of thirty years and dressos well. At the time Owens was killed Julis lived at Brownsville. He now lives in the quarter of this town known as Klondike. The part of the case not yet explained is the assumption of responsibility for Owens' death by Julis and the alleged plot of per jury. The mau who swears against Julis says that the miner wanted to timber the place, but the mino boss would not furnish him with tho material. The assumption of responsibility and the commission and sub ornation of perjury would Indicate that this story Is not true, but that Julis knew, or should have known, that the place needed timbering, but be neglected to have it attended to, and be felt that his negllttence had caused the driver's death. However this may be, this is one of the main points upon which tbo application for a re-opening of the inquest will be based, the aim being to fix the responsibility for falling to timber the placo. Tbis morning Julis was arraigned before Royal Makes the food more ROVAl SAICma Justice Shoemaker and over three hours wero consumed in the examination of wit nesses, who wero Deputy Coroner Oardiu, Mluo Inspector Stein, Constables Tliomai Tosh and Thomas Bolln, Joseph KusaVle wiez, John Pomma and Charles Barowskl. Kuzakiewicz and Barowskt gave damag ing evidence, stating that Owens was killed by a fall of rock and coal, that his body was (wrrlcd 150 or 300 yards out the gangway, the victim's lamp lit and left beside tho body, and that Julia warned them that they would lose their jobs if tbey did not testify tbat Owens was killed by the mute. They so testified under Julis' Instructions. Meser. Cardln, Stein, Tosh and Bolln testified that Julis and the witness Kuzakie wicz and Barowskt so testified at the Inquest. Pomma contradicted himself repeatedly, but in the main said ho was working lu a breast and did not hear, or know, of any fall, did not know how Owens was killed, ami did not know of his death until he saw the body in tho gangway. He heard nobody talk of any fall, and the defendant did not tell any. body In his proseuco how they should testify. Tho witnem Kuzakiewicz sworu that tho rock that killed Owens was too largo for threo men to move. After tho body wm carried away, the rock was broken up. It was tho noise of the fall that attracted Kuzakiowlcz from tho platform at the chute to the sceuo of the fait. Thk defendaut, Julis, took the stand aud testified bo found the body on tho gangway. Ho deulcd that there had been a fall of rock or coal in tho gangway that day, and he was still of tho opinion that the deceased was killed by a mule. Julis stated that people who had a grudge agninut bim were inducing the witnesses, Kuzakiewicz and Barowski, to gci in in into trouble. "Who taught you to talk that way?" Julis asked Barowski, ono of tho witnesses who told about the fall and how tho body was carneu out. Tho witness replied "I must tell the truth." After the close of the hearing Justice Shoe maker held Julis, tbo accused, under 300 Dan, wnicn was not forthcoming aud tho prisoner was committed to jail to await trial at court. LEASES RENEWED.
