The three boarders who have been in the Duryea Jail since the murder was discovered were taken to the town hall to day at the instruction of County Detective Powell. A hearing was held, at which Mrs. Zukauska was present, as were also Detective Mackin, Burgess Freeman, Deputy Coroner Bown and Chief of Police Cos grove. The hearing lasted for nearly three hours, during which the three prisoners and the murdered man's wife were questioned from every possible standpoint in the hope of throwing some new light on the mystery. All four denied having any knowledge of the murder and as the police had no direct evidence against them they were all discharged, with the exception of Jno, Woka.who is alleged to have been in love with Mrs.

In all three instances the need and practical worth of such a valued asset to the department was forcibly demonstrated. Several years ago, in line with a recommendation' from Chief Hart, the city councils passed an ordinance creating a "All System," whereby the firemen, who heretofore had been giving their services to the city, gratis, were allowed compensation at the rate of 50 cents per hour for actual services rendered. At no time since its introduction has the amount paid out to the members of the department exceeded five or six hundred dollars per year for each company. In the six months just closed, the services of the Niagara men cost the city $209. and the Black Diamond Hook and Ladder Co.

$50, an exceptionally small amount considering the valuable services so excellently rendered by the firemen. The efficiency of the department has reached a high standard and, if suggestions made by Mayor M. K. Gotten, in the annual address to the city so lons, some weeks ago, are carried out, the city can boast of the best equipped fire fighting forces in northeastern Pennsylvania. The mayor is anxious that a new company recently organized at the Junction, be given suitable quarters and furnished with apparatus, also that provision be made for the early purchase of a combination chemical hose wagon.

It is planned also to provide a home for the hook and ladder company. Fire Chief Hart is now rounding out his thirteenth year as head of the fire department.
