WILL HURT THE CHURCH.
Some Very Decided Views on the sale of a

Some Very Decided Views on the Sale of a
Portion of Old Swedes' Church Property
Who win Get the Money.
From all appearances the discussion OF
the Old Swedes Church matter has not
been closed by the accepting OF the rail-
road company's offer.
A member of the prudential committee
OF the church was seen by reporter OF
the EVENING JOURNAL this morning he
was against the sale and gave several
reasons why the action Of the vestry OF
Trinity parish was not in accordance with
the will of the people.
He said. The members of Old Swedes
Church who have stood by it for many
years past should have some voice in the
matter. The prudential committee Iof
the church has been opposed to the sale
from the first.
"There is an agreement between the
committee and the vestry that all moneys
coming from the graveyard shall be put
in the hands of the committee. after all
expenses have been paid. The vestry
therefore have no right to do anything
else with the net proceeds of the sale.
1T has be IN claimed that the ground
sold is of little value because the railroad
company's tracks are so near it. Could
not the owner Of the lots recover for any
damage done them by the moving nearer
Of the tracks?
Another excuse Of those in favor of
selling is that the wall isin tumble down
condition, and that il would take 81. 900 to
repair it. Those desiring to find out the
condition of the wall may ascertain that
It is strong and substantial If it falls
down or needs repair it is the duty Of the
railroad company to attend to it, as has
been decided by the courts in similar
cases.
1T is doubtful if the vestry has the
right to sell the property for railroad
purposes. | understand from Peter
Foreman, an old undertaken. that there
are bodies buried in this portion of the
cemetery.
The sale will do great harm. Persons
intending to leave money to the church
might not do so because there is no Sc.
curity that the present sale win not be
followed by others.
1T would be better to sell the property
to lot holders who would take an inter.
est than to a railroad corporation. The
lots were never offered for sale and could
not therefore be purchased.
The sale will hurt the church spirit
ually. and will decrease its membership,
just at time when it is becoming strong
and prosperous.

BL0OD-STAlNED MURDERER.
Red Nosed Mike Goes on the stand and Tells
of One OF the Most Terrible Crimes
Ever Committed

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Feb. 9.-When
court convened this morning in the trial
of Red-Nosed Mike, Detective Thayer
was put on the stand. He testified as to
his part in ferreting out the crime. After
him Capt Linden was recalled. He
gave evidence to show that the confession
made by Mike was not extracted from
him by any promise of future rewards of
being shielded from punishment of the
crime. Capt Linden said to Mike when
the two were alone in his office in Phila-
delphia: Now, Mike, there is 10 one
here but you and l and God above. Tell
me the whole God IS truth or nothing; but
anything you say will be used against
you.
At this point the blood stained muir
derer took the stand. His testimony oc-
cupied over two hours, and was not con-
Guided when the court adjourned till
afternoon. His story was a narration of
one of the most terrible crimes ever eX-
ecuted by human hands. His bearing
on the stand at times was. Indicative of
that brayado and confidence that must
have belonged to his guilty heart from
the start, but when in his story he came
to the shooting of two innocent men. he
completely broke down. His swarthy
complexion became pale as death, and
tears coursed in steady stream
down his cheeks. His voice was
choked; it was complete break down.
He managed, however, to say that he
took no part i'll the killing. 81 held
back, lie said, when Beyerino and
Villella shot the paymaster and Flanni-
gan. l was standing about twenty feet
behind them. Beverino said: Mike,
Getting out a terrible oath) if you do not
hurry and help rs we will kill you. !
then raised my gun and fired four or five
shots in the air This is all l did -
At this point court adjourned until ?
O'Clock.
1t is learned the accomplices of Red
Nosed Mike, Beyerino and VifIellas
have been captured in Italy private
dispatch to that effect is known to have
reached the attorneys for the prosecution
and Capt. Linden, and the prisoners are
to be brought here as soon as possible
At the afternoon session Red-Nosed
Mike resumed. When asked how he held
his revolver when Mcclure was shOt he
said he held it pointing at the ground,
and the balls from the pistol did not in
jure or kill any one as they were buried
in the ground. He denied shooting at
Mcclure or Flanagan and also said ne
did not shoot the horse. On being
questioned as to whether he had heard
that statement in his confession which
was read in court last night, he
replied eyes, sir; but there were very
few words in it that I did not say. The
reason made the statement to Capt
Linden was because he had promised TO
help me and | believed him
At 80 o clock to-day both sides rested
and court adjourned until clock this
evening when the attorneys proceeded
with the argument which lasted several
hours.
