FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. VIII. NO. 78.
NO VERDICT GIVEN YET.
D. S. & S. EXPLOSION STILL UN
SOLVED BY THE JURY.
TeHtimony Was Taken Again on Monday
and Yesterday, and More Witnesses
Are tii He Heard Today—A Yerdict
Expected llefore Tonight.
The taking of testimony in the inquest
which is being held to ascertain the
cause of the I). S. & S. boiler explosion
was resumed on Monday at Hazleton by
Deputy Coroner McCoombs. The state
ments of the witnesses examined are as
follows, taken from the Plain Speaker:
Conductor William J. Titnney, who
was injured in the accident and who is
now in the hospital, gave this testimony
to Dr. McCoombs in the presence of wit
nesses: "I was about the middle of the
engine on the step in front of the cab.
having just come out of the cab. Boyle,
O'Donnell, Chambers and Stewart were
in the cab. Did not know what happen
ed. I know she had been in the shops
for repairs in tho early part of February.
No. 4 was considered the best engine on
the D. S. fc S. road for that kind of
work. We had a trip of nine cars which
was practically only equal to eight, two
of them being small ones. Train was
not too heavy; had gone about half a
mile wlion the accident occurred. Do
not remember that she was working
hard. All tho crew were good, careful
men, and all temperate men at that.
Every article that 1 had in my pockets
on the left side was lost, while all that
was in my right side pockets remained."
John R. Wagner was called to the
stand and gave a detailed explanation
of the construction of an cngino boiler.
A picture and a blue print wore exhibit
ed to the jury. It proved very instruc
tive to tho members not familiar with
tho terms of tho various parts of the
machinery.
C. L. Branch, night foreman of round
house und a machinist since 1884, said:
"No. 4 engine was in round house at
night. Examine the engines every night.
Saw the crown sheet and apparently it
was in good condition; saw no bulge;
could have seen a slight bulge unless too
trifling; was inspected the beginning of
February; other engines have been in
spected since; Nos. 3 and 5 are in now;
saw them take out fifteen bolts; should
stop in if a great number of bolts are
broken in one region. She had not been
out a month from the date on which she
had been inspected. 1 saw the demolish
ed boiler on the trucks and observed the
bolts pulled through. Bad water would
affect tho bolts in several weeks, while
good water will not affect them in three
months; have formed no opinion what
ever as to the cause. She had been re
paired more than the other engines be
cause Mr. Chambers was very careful.
Never heard him say anything about
tho engine."
David T. Holland, of West Hazleton,
omployed at Gum Run Junction in the
employ of both tho Pennsylvania and the
D. S. & S., inspecting coal and freight
cars, testified: "Was there when the D.
S. & S. engine exploded; saw 110 person
about that had 110 business there; sum
William Goyue hammering at a portion of
tho crown sheet; saw rivets that wore
cut, also stay bolts lying 011 the ground
where the hammering was done; Messrs
Rowland and Smith were present while
the hammering was being done."
Mr. Rowland was recalled and stated
that Messrs. Smith, llcltz and himself ar
rived on the scene at the one time Did
not know of any bolts having been cut
away and it was at his directing that any
cutting was done. Three large pieces of
the boiler were then exhibited to the
jury for inspection to prove that there
wore no hammer marks on it. Mr. Row
land stated no persons raised objections
to their cutting away the rivets.
James Wilson: "I am paid my salary
from the Pennsylvania Railroad and in
spect cars for the D. S. & S. Company
also. Saw the D. S. &S. officials there.
We picked up stay bolts next morning
that had been cut. Counted thirty bolts
that had been broken previous to the ex
plosion and as many more that had been
broken all the way around with the ex
ception of a quarter of an inch in the
center which was broken by the explo
sion. I did not notice the safety plug
in the crown sheet. Ileard Mr. Row
land order the men to remove the sheet
from the track to the bank. Ileard
Pennsylvania Railroad employes raise
objection to the cutting that was being
done. In the crowd there were two en
gineers from Sunbury and one from
Noscopeck. Was on the engine witli
Chambers on several occasions and
always saw him with between three or
four gauges of water."
John R. Wagner was again called to
the stand and explained the samplos of
the boiler.
YeHtorday'rt Testimony.
At 0.30 o'clock yesterday morning the
jury met to conclude taking testimony.
William Miller testified: "Engine No.
4 was in the shop 011 February 5 when 1
tested her stay bolts; 140 pounds was the
working pressure. She was washed just
after the inspection. The safety plug
was apparently in good condition. Re
mained in the boiler after the explosion.
Never saw an engine In which the safety
plug had been burned. Do not know
whether the steam gauge was correct."
Walter L. Richards testified: "The
exact use of a safety plug is to save the
crown sheet. If it melted an explosion
would bo averted. On one side of the
boiler along the mudring there were five
bolts broken and one broken on the left
side. It would bo perfectly safe to run
at 140 pounds doing heavy work. It is
my opinion that safety plugs are not of
paramount importance as my experience
has proved to mo that they do not
always melt. This plug was not burned.
A gauge can bo thrown out of order
while the engine is working."
L. C. Smith testified: "Did not es
pecially mention any portion of the
engine should be tested. For my per
sonal satisfaction I ordered tests made
about a dozen times a year instead of
twice a year as required by law."
A. J. Beltz, master mechanic, was
sworn: "Was well acquainted with No.
4. Examined the boiler at the scene of
the accident. Did not see any stay bolts
knocked out of tho boiler at that place.
I think she exploded along tho loft side
above the mud ring. Do not remember
that the boiler was ever leaking. I have
not formed any opinion of what caused
the explosion. Cnsidered Chambers a
first-class engineer. Tho dirt burners
are considered more apt to explode than
the class of locomotives run on tho Val
ley road. A dirty crown sheet will burn
even though there be plenty of whter in
tho boiler. No. 4 had worked twenty
six days from tho time she was tested
until tho day of the accident."
A. F. Ilargcr, chief clerk, was sworn
and preseuted a report for the month of
February on the condition of all engines
examined.
With this tho taking of testimony end
ed, and Coroner McCoombs stated that
a verdict would bo arrived at as early as
possible, tho jury retaining, however,
tiie right to examine two more witnesses
should they find trouble in forming a
verdict. With tho assurance that they
would bo Informed should any such
course be taken, in order that they may
have representation, the D. S. & S. peo
ptc gave their consent. The jury will
meet again today.
WindiHli Sentenced to Hang;.
At the opening of court on Monday
morning Judges Woodward, Lynch and
liennet were on tho bench. Judge
Woodward asked if (ioorge Wlndish was
present, and on being informed that he
was and that James L. Lenaban, Esq.,
one of his counsel, was in court, he
handed down an opinion refusing a now
trial to Windish. The opinion Is lengthy
and covers all the points raised by the
defendant's counsel.
After the reading of tho opinion Win
dish, who was convicted of wife-murder,
was called for sentence. He advanced
to the bar trembling in evory fibre and
Judge Woodward said: "You have been
found guilty of murder in the first de
gree; have you anything to say why the
sentence of tho court shall not he pro
nounced against you?"
Windish wavered a moment and said
in a disconnected sort of way, showing
tho excitement he was laboring under,
"I am not guilty of murder in the first
degree. Nobody ever asked me to tell
what I knew of the murder, hut of first
degree murder I am not guilty. The
blood that was on the window sill was
my blood, that came when sho hit me on
the hand and tried to kill mo. They
wanted mo to tell who killed her. I
could not tell them just how it happen
ed. They did not ask mo in the l ight
way. She got the chisel and struck mo,
and I had been deviled tho same way
for ten years. I got wild, and all the
rage that was in mo broke loose. That
is all I got to say."
Judge Woodward then delivered the
sontonce of tho law, which said ho
should hang. Windish was standing
with his hands clasped, rocking to and
fro, and as the judge finished ho said:
"There will then bo another murder in
Luzerne county. I am not guilty of
murder in tho first degree. I do not
want tho case taken to the supreme
court. Let them hang mo and bo dono
with it."
Jas. L. Lenaban, Esq., who, with
John T. Lenaban, was Wiudish's coun
sel, was more than surprised at Windish's
actions. It was the first time, he said,
that Windish had oven intimated that
ho knew anything of tho murder. The
case will bo appealed to the supreme
court.

FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1890.
LOWER END MURDER .TRIAL.
A Milneville Hungarian Charged With
Murder Acquitted Yesterday.
The case of John Bobnuck, charged
with the murder of John Holdnock, was
called for trial on Monday. The attor
neys are Fell and Jones for the common
wealth and Slattery and McGuigan for
the defendant. The following jury was
selected: Michael Hoban, Avoca; James
McGreevy, Wilkesbarre; E. J. Roger.*,
Wilkesbarre; William Gibson, Jenkins
township; Arnold Williams, Wilkesbarre
township; John I*. Thomas, Plymouih
township; E. J. Sweeney, Hazle; I*. J.
Foley, Wilkesbarre; W. 11. McMillan,
West Pittston; Daniel F. Carmody,
Wilkesbarre; Thomas Landon, Dallas
township; E. C. Starbird, Kingston.
The crime was committed on Novem
ber 17 last on the road from Milncsville
to Hazleton. The parties concerned
were drinking all afternoon, when Bob
nuck, accompanied by his wife and two
children, and Holdnock, the deceased,
and Peter Zurdock. made up one party
returning home. The two latter were
about 100 feet in advance of Bobnuck,
who shouted in his native tongue and
commenced firing. The first shot took
effect in the body of Zurdock and the
second was the shot that killed Hold
nock.
Attorney Slattery opened for the
defense and stated that they would
prove an alibi. He said the bullet found
In tho body of the dead man was 44 cali
bre, while the revolver and bullets found
in the pocket of the prisoner were of 38
calibre.
W. O. lilase, a jewolcr, was the first
witness called and gave expert testi
mony as to the size of the bullet found
in the dead man and the callbro of the
revolver. Mr. Ulusc said tho revolver
was of 38 calibre but thought tho bullet
which was found in the body of tho mur
dered man was of 44 calibre.
District Attorney Foil opened the case
for the commonwealth Tuesday, after
which tho doctor who made tho post
mortem examination and other witnesses
who were connected with tho case wore
placod Oil the stand. Tho most Impor
tant evidence was that given by Zurdoek,
who said there was 110 quarrel or 110
apparent reason for tho shooting. Ho
and tho murdered man met the prisoner,
and tho latter pulled a revolver aid
shot Zurdoek, after which he asked if
he wanted any more. Holdnock tried
to get away when the prisoner turned
and shot at him with fatal effect.
Constables Zeigler and Kennedy, who
arrested Robnuck, both testified and
swnre that they searched the prisoner
and found a revolver in his coat pocket.
Two of the chambers were empty and
three loaded. Tho revolver was put
in evidence.
Mrs. Robnuck, wife of the prisoner,
was sworn and testified that she was
with her husband during the day of the
shooting hut left him at a hotel and
went home. Her evidence was not of
any importance.
NOT GUILTY.
Tho lawyers concluded their addresses
yesterday and the jury went out at 2.30
o'clock. At 4 a verdict of not guilty
was brought in and Rtibuock was dis
charged.
Feed Mill Burned Down.
At 10.40 o'clock 011 evening
tho fire alarm was sounded, A few
minutes previous fire had been discover
ed 111 tho feed mill of the Freeland Mer
cantile Company, Limited, 011 Walnut
street below Pine, A prompt response
was mado by tho firemen and citizens
generally, but when they arrived tho
wliolo intorlor was a seething mass of
flames. In a short while thrco connec
tions wore made with tho plugs; only
two, howover, were of service, ono plug
being frozen. When tho water was
turned on two feeble streams camo forth,
neither of which could be thrown more
than four feet from the nojzle. This
continued for about five minutes, after
which tho usual heavy streams came
through the hose, and after lificon min
utes of well-directed efforts the fire was
placed under control.
For awhile It appeared that the wagon
works of M. Halpfn, located a few feet
west of the feed mill, would catch fire,
but fortunately sufficient pressure was
given tho water when tho building was
in danger and it escaped with a few
weather boards being scorched.
During the tiro It was feared that
sparks might he carriod to other build
iugs, and orders were given to tear
down the rear and east sides of the mill.
This was done and the blazing timbers
and burning feed were soon extinguish
ed. At 1 o'clock the water was turned
off and an examination was mado of the
building, which was found to ho a total
wreck. All signs of lire had then dis
appeared, and the watchers of tho Citi
zens' Huso Company experienced 110 fur
ther trouble until 4 o'clock, when a brisk
blaze was found ill the rear of tho mill.
Tho stock in the building, consisting
of rye, flour, feed of all kinds, etc., was
completely destroyed. Two engines and
other machinery were also damaged be
yond repair. The large boiler, howover,
was uninjured, as the fire was not very
strong in the part where it was located.
The loss 011 building and stock Is esti
mated at $3,500. It is said that there is
83,000 insurance 011 tho stock. Daniel
Kline, tho general manager of tho com
pany, was at Scranton at tho time.
The origin of the lire Is shrouded in
mystery. When discovered the Inside
appeared to be all afire, and tho point at
which it began could not be determined.
The thorough examination made by the
liro company's officers failed to make
known the cause. The only lire in the
building was in a small stove in the of
fice room, and this was found burning
qniotly after all was over. There were
no electric wires in tho mill.
Two weeks previous, on the 3d Inst.,
the building was discovered on lire, but
at that time it was caught in time and
extinguished with but little loss. The
reason assigned by some is spontaneous
combustion and by others it is thought
to bo tho work of incendiaries.
Freelilnd's License Money.
Freeland's share of the liquor license
money this year will he 8(1,840, out of
which the county treasurer will retain
884.30 as his commission leaving 80,755.-
80 as the net amount the borough treas
urer will receive. This is four-fifths of
tho 8150 paid by each of the fifty-seven
retail dealers who were granted licenses.
Tho borough receives no part of the
8300 paid by each of the six bottlers and
six wholesale dealers.
The total amount paid for state li
censes by the sixty-nine Freeland deal
ers is 810,050. The internal revenue
tax, which is 835 for each of the retail
ers and bottlers and 850 for each whole-'
saler, or 81,875 for all, makes a grand I
total of 813,835 which will bo paid to
carry on the liquor business in Freeland '
thi# year.
The license money will be ready for
distribution to tho treasurers of cities,
boroughs and townships about the first
week in April.
