(Continued from page one) The fact that a silent alarm wasi sent in and the firemen arrived unex- pectedly at the house resulted In uncovering damaging evidence. 1 The remnants of clothing and mat-, tress were brought into the court room, and spread over the floor in front of the jury box. They left black spots on the carpet and grease spots irom the kerosene.

The evidence was gathered up again in the afternoon i and put away, to be brought out again on the morrow. A large number of pictures had been taken which were also introduced into the evidence. Assistant District Attorney H. F. Bonno conducted the prosecution and Attorney Joseph Hollister, of Mt.

Car-mel, the defense. Fire Chief P. W. Walsh, of Shamo-kin, was one of the outstanding witnesses for the prosecution. The fire department had trouble of the same nature before with the Lacrosse prop erties and were expecting something of the same sort again.

Collection of insurance on the properties was the alleged motive. Antonia Gider, Mount Carmel man, who went on trial yesterday before Judge Raker on an assault and battery charge brought by a neighbor, Mrs. Felicia Chukaila, was found not guilty, and the costs were placed on the woman by the court. The star witness for the defense yes- terday was the young daughter of Gider, who gave a connected version of the onslaught in a ditch near the homes of the warring parties. The only point on which the attorney lor the prosecution tripped her concerned a tree behind which her father was alleged to have been hiding.

The girl said he was in the ditch. There was no tree there, and so he could not have been hiding. The fight occurred June 17, when each called the other names. The defendant, it is alleged, went to the adjoining home and slapped his neighbor and the latter's wife interfered and also was slapped. Michael Mascolick, Kulpmont, who was indicted by the grand jury on an assault and battery charge, entered a pica of guilty, and was sentenced to i pay a fine of $50 and costs.

He was also sentenced to the county jail for a term running from four to eight months. Mascolick was accused of an assault on the young son of Roy Malick, also of Kulpmont. Witnesses said the man threw the youngster over a high fence October 4, the fall resulting in a broken arm for the lad. Several cases were scheduled to go before the court this afternoon. The first of these is the charge of assault and battery against Joseph Barron, of Trevorton, whose car struck and killed another motorist.

Barron was not In court and a bench warrant was Issued for him. The manslaughter case against John Fry, Delaware township man, vrta also scneauied tor tuts aiternoon, and a case of assault and battery against Alfred Barcavage, of this city. The prosecutor in -the latter case Is Joseph Gusick, also of Shamokln. Gusick is alleged to have struck Alfred Barcavage on the head with his fists. This case is not one of vital importance, but will take time, and result in postponing the opening ofj the first murder case Judge Raker will hear until next week.

Bolich Chros- i toski, wife-slayer, is Erst scheduled for trial. i Sentence of Dominlck Pasulla, of Bristol, found guilty of pandering and assault and battery in the county courts yesterday, is deferred by the court, pending decision of counsel for the defense, D. W. Shipman, on the proposition of asking a new trial. The jury acquitted him on a third charge, that of transporting a minor girl for the purpose of placing her in a house of ill fame.

Three others involved in the case are still in the county jail. They are i Benny Corcoran. Florence Weary and Louis Marzola. The last named was saloon keeper at the place where the i girl first met Dominick. Benny lived near Louis' place.

Florence was a girl friend of his. She also was a friend of Mary Vayda, 14, of Northumberland, the central figure in the case. The most important figure, Jimmy Fallo, has disappeared. The others now in jail, wanted to see how Dominick made out before going to trial themselves. It did not take the jury ten minutes to convict Dominick.

The fact that he allowed four persons to sleep in his bed one night, three days after he met the girl, namely Dom- Tomorrow Thrills! Chills! Spills! KIR LAND H. B.
