Commonwealth's Case Falls. DEFENDANT ON THE STAND When John Steltz, the Spanish war veteran, was placed under arrest for the murder of Mrs. O'Keefe in Haw ley, The Republican clearly indicated in its reports of the affair that there was little or no evidence asainst him. This version of the case against Steltz was fully confirmed by Judge Purdy in Honesdale yesterday, when he directed the jury to return the defendant not guilty, which was done. The court said that there really was no evidence to fasten the crime on Steltz and his conduct after leaving Hawiey did not seem to be that of a criminal fleeing from justice.

Steltz's mother wept tears of joy as she pressed forward and congratulated Him. That few of the friends of the man believed him guilty was evidenced by the manner in which they rushed forward to shake him by the hand. The direction by the court to find the defendant not guilty was made after considerable evidence had been introduced by the defense. In fact the case of the commonwealth was so weak that the court might have directed a verdict of not guilty even if not a line of testimony had been offered by counsel for the prisoner. There is not a shadow of a doubt entertained by the good people of Hawiey that the officers of the law made a blunder in arresting and bringing Steltz to trial, thus withdrawing all efforts to look elsewhere for the murderer of Mrs.

O'Keefe. The case for the commonwealth practically collapsed on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock when most unexpectedly the district attorney closed. The defense was not ready to go on and so court adjourned until yesterday morning. Practically the only witness for the commonwealth who was cross examined was Frank Kelly, the Erie railway policeman, who placed Steltz under arrest. The testimony of none of the' other witnesses in no way fastened guilt, upon the prisoner.

On, Wednesday afternoon Morton Harlow testified that on the after nopn of. March 4, the day of the murder, Steltz came to his manufacturing plant at about three o'clock and would not go out when the foreman directed him to do so. Steltz said that, he wanted work. He appeared to be very much intoxicated. This witness was practically corroborated by Frank Waters and Harry Carr.

Daniel Keeleher swore that he saw Steltz the same night in Hawiey from seven to ten o'clock. At that time he Was not drunk although he had been drinking. Grant Kimble swore that Steltz stayed at the electric light plant that night. REMAINED IN HAWLEY. Joseph' Ward and' Dennis Keeleher swore i that they saw Steltz at the Eddy Hawiey, between seven and nine o'clock the next morning.

Fred White, general manager of the Hawiey glass works, testified that Steltz came to the office of the company between nine and ten o'clock in the morning of March 5, and asked for his pay; that he was told that It wr.rs not yet time to pay, and that he would have to wait until later In the day; that Steltz said he could not wait and desired to know if he gave an order to some one else for his pay and got it cashed if the company would honor the order, and to which the witness said "yes." He said Steltz told him he was in trouble and couldn't wait. He said that some time afterwards he was called up from Lehmann's hoiel and asked vhat amount was due Steltz, and if it would be all right for the party who was telephoning to cash his time, to which he replied it would be. On cross examination Mr. White said Lehmann's was the nearest business place to the works; that Steltz did a boy's work and was paid eighty five cents a day; was there two or three weeks and had stopped work on Friday because his hands were sore, admitting that persons unaccustomed to this character of work about glass factories got sore hands when they first worked at It. Christian Iehmann swore that he cashed Steltz's order.

The latter said that he was going to Pittsburg, where a friend had gotten him a job. KELLY'S TESTIMONY. Frank Kelly, a railroad policeman for the Erie railroad, met Steltz in Meyers' restaurant at Lackawaxen after the hitler had written that he wanted to give himself up. Kelly asked him concerning the murder of Mrs. O'Keefe and if he did not think Martin Nee had something to do with it.

Stelta replied that he thought a man by the name of Griffin was the party, as he had recently sold Mrs. O'Keefe four barrels of cider and didn't receive any pay. He supposed he went to collect it and trouble ensued in which Airs. O'Keefe was murdered. Steltz told him of his trip to Parker's Glen, where he obtained employment with a farmer under the name of John Smith.

Steltz told him he left home Special Prices on Canned Peas and Beans to Close Pack of 1903. Coin sen's Sugur PeuB 10c, value 16c. Sweet Wrinkled Peus 10c. Red Kidney Beans 10c, 3 for 2fc; 0c doz. lb rook Peas and Beans, 4 cans 'lie; 60c doz.

In his cross examination of Mr. Kelly, Attorney McCarty brought out the statements that the witness had taken much part in the case by summoning witnesses, and otherwise displaying an activity clearly indicating his sole purpose was to convict Steltz and secure the reward.

The district attorney said ft made no difference If he was working to secure the reward, but made no such strenuous objection as to get a ruling of court on the line of cross examination by the defense. Matthew Hinckley, Mrs. Anna Hinckley and Peter Hinckley gave tegtlmony as to Steltz coming to the Hinckley farm on March 8, and going to work there; that he said he came from Milford, but that he last worked in Corning, N. that his parents were dead, and he made his home Just wherever he happened to be. Other witnesses sworn were Eii gen Klotz and William Boch, bartenders at a Lackawaxen hotel, who testified to Steltz beingthere on March Edward Henry, an Erie brakeman, (Continued on Page Seven.) HURRAH, THE CIRCUS WILL COME TODAY Something That the Small Boy Has Been Waiting for A Parade for This Mornina.

Today is the day the small boy has been waiting for these many weeks. And (speak it in a whisper) wouldn't be surprised if his daddy had the date marked on the calendar himself. It's circus day, the biggest holiday of all the year. Something sort of magical about it, isn't there. Makes sluggish blood courge a little faster, and, after it is all over, makes a fellow feel a little better fo rthe living.

Common ground for the high and low and a pretty good place to see an exemplification of the American spirit of liberality. But to the subject. The circus is coming to town todaythe Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Enormous United Shows. They rather neglected us last season; were out west for the summer. A great many new things the show has got since it was last here.

The advance announcements call it a "feature show." Big acts and many of them that'a the promise made. A thrill a minute through a three hours' programme. Lots of novelties and among them performances that have never before been seen In this country until the present season of the circus. The two biggest thrillers promised are the feats of Diavolo and Prodigious Porthos. Diavolo's performance has been the greatest sensation in the circus world since he first looped the loop on his bicycle with the Fore paugh Sells show.

Other Bhows have sought to secure an imitator, but without avail. But this dare devil Diavolo must look well to his laurels this for Prodigious Porthos has as little fear of 'death as the loop the loopist. Porthos is sort of a human flying He rides down a' steep incline on his bicycle and shoots off into space like a rocket, bridging a chasm fifty feet wide, alighting on a platform ten feet high and then riding down a short incline to the ground. It is said to be the most picturesque bicycle performance ever attempted. Numerous features from abroad that are to be seen for the first time are announced.

Among them are the Seven Lecussons, in their wonderful melange of equestrian and acrobatic acts, en titled "On the Way to the Grand Prix Race, Paris," introducing a four horse park brake, both animals and vehicle being utilized in the phenomenal performances given. The Szarvasl Frencz Troupe of Hungniian Magyars, whose almost prehistoric acrobatic dancing and musical performances have never before been seen outside of their native land. Of champion riders there are tvo score or more, and included among them are the champions of all countries and all schools of equestrianism. The Aurora Zouaves, the best drilled soldiers in the world, who created a furore in Madison Square Garden, New York, continue as one of the big features. Persons who enjoy the thrills that come from aerial sensations will have their fill.

The famous family of Flying Jordans have returned from a world's tour to becdme a feature of the circus. The flying Banvard family of four will also be seen for the first time with a circus in this coun try. Then there are the aerial La monts, who perform wonderful stunts on a slender cable high in the air. And speaklpg of clowns. There will be two score of them and they come from all countries and represent every school of fooldom.

Many features have been added to the already big menagerie. A collection of fourteen full grown Polar bears will be an original and novel feature. No show has ever before exhibited more than one. Of course there will be a street pa this morning and it will be quite a brilliant pageant, representing as it does the history of trie country's wars by the nppearance of properly costumed soldiers of every conflict in which this nation has participated. A novel feature after the morning parade will be a free display of Japanese daylight fireworks on the show grounds.

PKETTY PICTURES SHOWN "Snowdrop," a fairy play for children, given in the lecture room of the Elm Park church last evening, under the direction of Mr. John T.

Watkins' and 'Miss Margaret Gibbs, proved one of the most pleasing entertainments ever conducted by the Sunday school of that churqh, under whose auspices the event was held. The audience of seven hundred people demonstrated their extreme pleas CHRISTINE GSCHWIXDT. ure and appreciation of the artistic efforts of the participants by frequent and hearty applause. The children who took part in the affair range In age from five to ten years, yet the entertainment passed off. with, the smoothness almost of professionalism, and reflects much credit on both Mr.

Watkins and Miss Gibbs. The leading parts were taken by Miss Lillian La Bar as (ueen, Miss Edith May as Snowdrop, Master Oscar Morris of Taylor as Prince Faithful and Master Edwin Hundon as Hunter. These children assumed their respective parts in a most praiseworthy manner far exceeding expectations. In part one the five little peddlers were pleasingly received. In part two The Butterflies Revel was very pretty.

The little girls were dressed in fancy costumes resembling closely the. butterflies themselves, and in their drill they glided about' with much grace. Miss Christine Geschwindt, in sweet voice, sang the solo The third' part, "Pinky Punky Poo," was received with much enthusiasm, and the little ones of charm and innocence were repeatedly recalled. The paper dollies drill was a beautiful feature. The little girls were attired in varied colored dresses which artistically blended and wore large picture hats, the dresses and hats being made of paper.

The "Fairy Flowers Song" was very dainty, the little girls being neatly gowned In white each carrying a large flower. Miss Lena Rothman, a charming little tot, sweetly sang the solo part.

Burns for Wake Co. "Yesterday morning at ten o'clock the board of viaduct viewers met In select council chambers to hear the exceptions filed and listened to arguments against their findings as made public April 25. Col. F. L.

Hltachcock. president of the board, presided. Attorneys J. H. Torrey and I.

H. Burns occupied the greater portion of the time, the former representing the Lansing Faller estate and the latter the Scranton Gas and Water company. Mr. Torrey objected strongly to the finding of the board on the property situated at the corner of West Lackawanna avenue and Dockash place. His contention was that the viewers based their award on the assessed valuation on the Dockash place property, while in reality It faces the' avenue.

Attorney Ira H. Burns raised a point which may affect' the viewers' report as to the claims of the Scranton Gas and Water company for twelve thousand dollars for changing their gas 'and water mains. He referred to the opinion of Judge John P. Kelly In the case brought by the Scranton Gas and Water company against the city and Contractor J. H.

METROPOLITAN SOLOISTS One of the ssential attributes of a good concert is a commendable program. Directors and managers of concerts too often lack the undeflnable taste of arranging a program properly, and though they may have excellent music, and first rate vocalists or instrumentalists, there is usually some feeling prevalent that some one sang out of place, or that an improvement would have been made if the first number had been given the last place, or ylce versa.

The casual observer may pass unnoticed defects in programme making which to a student of these things are glaring inconsistencies. Miss Cordelia. Freeman's offering at the Studio club's eighth annual concert last evening was a model which could be advantageously copied by many concert managers. There was a certain continuity about the concert which made all the selections stand out prominently. All the numbers contributed to a complete whole, and all were commensurate with the high standard of Miss Freeman's dl rection arfl ability.

The appearance of Messrs. Francis Fischer Powers and Harold Briggs of New York, were both strong attractions; Mr. Powers being one of the most successful of New York's voice teachers, and Mr. Briggs a pianist of much ability. There was also the Allen Quartet, which comprises four strings from Miss Julia Allen's school, and which Incidentally is closely associated with Miss Freeman's work.

These are only complements to the Studio club, an organization of about thirty ladies directed by Miss Freeman, under whose au spices last evening's concert was given. In this Studio club Miss, Freeman has a number of voices of surpassing beauty and trained admirably. The tone and blend was pure and the care fill and intelligent phrasing was i pleasure to. listen 'to. Sufficient power, yet' not boisterous, forte passages given Just the right amount of tone, and the softer ones, a mellowness and coloring really artistic.

The club sang the fol lowing: Summer Winds, Stanley Smith. Legende, Mohring. Behind the Lattice, Chadwick. Cradle Song of the Blessed Virgin, with violin obllgato; Barnpy uow. Tuscan Folk Song, No.

Freeman; Spring Song, Oscar Well. The last named being placed on the programme by the request of. the Studio club patrons. The "members of 'the Allen quartet are Miss Betty Stackhouse; F. La Rue, Mrs.

A. K. Leister and Miss Lida Houser. The quartet was a very acceptable fnnctlon of the concert and they were loudly applauded. j.

Their numbers Adagio Rellgoso, Koehler. Gavotte. PJerne. Scene Espagnole, Allen. All of which were calculated to dis play difficulties of technic and beauty of tone.

The even and perfect bal ance of the strings was evident, particularly in the adagia. Mr. Harold Stewart Brtggs, a young man of comparatively tender years for a concert pianist, proved himself a Trojan at the instrument. He has an abundance of technic, sur Ismounted all difficulties with ease and showed much sterling musicianship In his clean cut and expressive playing. His programme was: Waldesrauchen.

Liszt. Two Caprices, Binding. Serenade i d'Arequin, Sohutt. Mr. Powers' appearance was very much appreciated.

Possessing, as he does, an admirable presence and a voice of surpassing beauty and power, and a perfect knowledge of his capabilities, he is perhaps one of the most efficient and capable exponents of the vocal art that has been heard In Scranton. He sang: Llebesgluck, Spicker. Am Strande, Ttles. Love la a Bubble, Allitsen. Bolero, Henrlon.

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Gerrit Smith. Which last was written by the New York organist especially for Mr. Powers. He Is a delightful singer and never falls to satisfy. Mr.

Powers, In response to many requests has decided to teach in Scranton for the balance of this month. He will be found at Miss Freeman's studio and many of our vocalists would profit much by a visit to this famous teacher and singer. Don't Don't infer. Try It!
