FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1900.
GIVEN A HEARING.
Iloyle Committed to County Jail and
lioscowMki Discharged.
The two men suspected of having
caused the death of Joseph Brezeoskl,
of Highland, in the shooting affray in
Staski's saloon on Saturday evening,
were taken before Squire Shovlin yester
day morning. Thomas J. Boyle waived
a hearing.
The testimony of several witnesses
was heard. The evidence exonerated
Boscowski from having anything to do
with Brezeoski's death and he was
discharged.
Boyle was committed to the county
jail, as the testimony showed that he
tired the fatal shot, but whether the
deed was intentional or not remains to
be shown at the habeas corpus hearing,
which Attorney Carr will probably ask
for him as soon as possible.
Constable Welsh took the prisoner to
Wllkesbarre on the 12.14 o'clock train
yesterday.
The post mortem ordered by Deputy-
Coroner Bowman has been made by Doc
tors DeardorfT and Richards. The physi
cians located the bullet In Brezenskl's
head. It entered above the ear, took a
I backward course, shattered the skull
and caused another fracture, giving the
appearance of two separate wounds.
Only one,ball, however, was found.
The funeral of the dead man took
place this morning from his home in
Highland. The remains were interred
at St. Ann's cemetery after a requiem
mass had been read at St. John's
Slavouian church.
Strike Is Spreading.
The last colliery of the Kingston Coal
■ Company, at Edwardsville to remain at
work will be closed down this afternoon
and all the 2,300 employes will then be
on strike. This was decided at a meet
ing of the strikers yesterday when they
heard the advice of District President
Nichols.
Of the four demands made, the com
pany has offered to grant two, semi
monthly pay and a miners'check waigh
man, but it will not give into the topp
ing demand for a reduction from nine
inches te six. The men have agreed to
submit their requests for the discharge
of Foreman Morgan to arbitration.
The men at the No. 5 colliery of the
Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Coal Company
are still on strike and show no indica
tions of going back to work.
