SENTENCED TO HANG.
Robert Mosebay Guilty of Murder In the
First Degree.


First Degree.
Washington, Pa, September AT
10 a N. to-day court was convened and
the Robert Mosbay homicide case was
called up. The serious nature Of the
charge against the defendant induced
Judge Taylor to give in detail the find
ing of facts and the law applicable
thereto. He finds that Robert Nose
bay was sitting at his window in one
of the miners houses, at Jumbo coal
mines, when Frank Mosebay came
from his work at noon, Monday, March
I. 1895 Robert saw Frank pass the
window, got up took a revolver in his
right coat pocket and followed him
around the rear of the house. Frank
was singing, standing by a rain barrel,
unarmed and eating a piece Of bread,
his miners lamp still in his cap. Rob
ert came TO within about eight feet Of
him and said: Pay me that dollar.
The other replied: Il amt got II now,
III pay you payday" Robert demand
ed the dollar again and at the same
time pulled his revolver from his
pocket and fired full in Franks breast.
The heart and pulmonary artery were
penetrated, and death from hemor,
rhage and exhaustion was immediate,
Robert shook the PROSTATE form and
again demanded his dollar. a voice
called. What did you shoot that man
for, and Robert then started on a run,
and escaped over a hill into timber
land, TO be arrested two days later.
AS to the defense, the court said:
The defendant admitted that he fired
the shot that killed the deceased, but
claims to have shot TO keep the de-
ceased from shooting him-a defense
wholly at variance with the facts in the
case and the testimony OF several eye
witnesses to the killing, and unsupport-
ed by any other testimony than his
own. So evident IS 1t that the defend
ants story was fabricated to relieve
himself from the full consequences OF
his unlawful act, that no reliance can
be placed in it,
Clearly the act was willful and in
territorial. as the instrument, a deadly
one. was aimed 10 infiict a wound
which naturally and probably would
result in death. What other intention
than an intention to kill could be rat
ionally inferred from the whole con-
duct of the defendant? 1t is only be-
cause there is no escape from it that
we find the crime murder in the first
degree"
The prisoner manifested no emotion
and in no way showed that he appre-
ciated his position, even when he stood
to hear the death penalty read. He
was remanded to Jail to await the gov
errors pleasure in fixing the time OF
execution.
This was Judge Taylof's case, but
Judge McIlvaine sat with him, and
concurred in the findings OF fact and
conclusions of law.

HEADLONG TO THE PAVEMENT.
Travelling Man Falls from the Third
story of the Grand Hotel.

NJ X. STANDARD. of Detroit, Mich, trav-
cling agent for an optical goods house in

himself from a window on the third floor
Of the Grand Hotel yesterday afternoon.
sustaining injuries which may prove fatal.
Mr. STANDARD has been boarding at the
Grand, when in the city, for the last ten
years and arrived on his regular trip last
Saturday. Yesterday he told clerk Elliott
that he was not feeling well and asked
for warmer room as he said he wished
to remain in it all day. He was changed
and stayed in his room until shortly after
noon when he walked to a vacant room
on the south side of the hotel, facing on the
alley. He entered this room and bolted the
door and a few minutes later was seen
to drop through the air from the window
Of the room. His fall was broken by the
telephone wires, on which he struck ana
hung suspended for few seconds. He was
picked up by bystanderS in a daZed con-
dition and carried into a neighboring drug
store. The city ambulance was called and
He was found to have suffered broken
hip and a broken rib besides numerous
bad bruises. 1t is thought he is also hurt
internally, and last night it was impos-
1t cannot be learned whether the man
threw himself from the window or fell
out accidentally. STANDARD was unable to
tell and at the hospital was rational on
cident. The physicians at the hospital SAID
that the man may have been walking IN
his sleep. The idea of suicide is advanced
for the reason that he locked the door OF
the vacant room when he entered it and
then must have raised the window himself.
There seems to be no reason for suicide,
as STANDARD was apparently In the pest

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT.
One More Charter Amendment to BE
Introduced.

There is only one more indianapolis char
ter amendment bill to be passed by the
House, and that will be taken UP this
morning Mr. Leedy introduced it. The
first section enables the City Council to
raise the salary of the Board of Works
clerk to $500, and permits the city en-
gineer's salary to be raised to $4,000. The
second section authorizes the assessment of
property a block on each side of an inn
proved street, where there is an intersect-
ing avenue or street, for the cost of i'm
proving the intersection. There has been
some trouble heretofore in assessing avenue
property. The third section permits the sale
OF property for failure TO pay an assess
ment. If the land $50 feet back from the
cost of Improvement, in the case of unplat-
ted land, the entire land may be held In
foreclosure suits defenses shall be al
lowed upon any irreguarity In the proceed
assessment, nor shall any question as to
the propriety or expediency of any improve
ment or work therein be made. Property
owners who have signed waivers taking add
vantage of the Barrett law can set up no
defense whatever.
rhe next section provides for the issu-
ance of Barrett bonds in sums not exceed
ing. $500, and requires payment of the in
the bonds fall due. This will insure better
payment of the bonds. The section also
estops any proceedings to question the valid
ity of the bonds.

NEEDLESS AMBULANCE RUNS.
Dispensnry Physicians Censured for
Inquiring the Cause of Calls.

DR.. William Rowley, OF 119 Cornell avenue,
fell on the sidewalk at the northwest corner
of Washington and Meridian streets, yester-
day afternoon. He was picked up uncon-
scious and carried in the c., d, & d. rail-
road office. Some one telephoned for the city
ambulance but the dspensary refused to
send it out The doctor at the dispensary
replied that they did not answer calls of
that kind. A crowd collected on the corner
and much Indignation was expressed over
the refusal of the dispensary to send an
ambulance. number of policemen Joined
the crowd and they added their opinions
to the indignation of the crowd. One of
them said it was very difficult to get the
ambulance the dispensary refused to
send 1t out for mere sickness and the
doctors always demand to. know how bad
a person is injured The dispensary physi-
clans say they are frequently imposed upon
and necessarily must be careful about an
swering calls. Oftentimes owing to excite
ment the ambulance is called when there
is no need for it. They point to the case
of DR.. Rowley, and they say that he was
able to take car home after short rest
and 1t would have been needless to have
sent the ambulance.

TO DISCUSS BAKERS TROUBLES.
Mass Meeting Called by the Central
Labor Union for Tonight.

The bread war is still on. but there are
indications that it is nearing an end. The
boss bakers claim to be losing by the war
and number of them have decreased the
size of their loaves. Although the men are
still hostile, the bosses are not so much
so and many of them ready for COM
promise. The committee appointed to in
vestigate PARROT & Taggart's shop, have
reported that they found the firm paying
$l4 a week to bakers, which is more than
the union scale The committee exonerates
Parrot & Taggart and recommends that
the boycott be declared off. The men re-
fuse to accept the report of the committee
and they have voted to continue the fight
The Central Labor Union has adopted the
following:
Whereas, 1t has been stated by certain
baking firms in this city, unless the boy
colt against PARROT & Taggart was raised,
they would discharge their employees,
THE Central Eabor Union Endorses the
action of the Bakers Union, and If any
firm takes such action they stand ready
to place them the list and enter the
fight with redoubled vigor; and we also
approve the action taken by the Bakers
Union at their meeting last Saturday even
ing, and that organized labor stands ready
to assist the bakers in their struggles for
justice and right"
A meeting will be held in Mozart Hail.
which has been called by the Central Labor
Union to discuss the bakers trouble.
