Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Boston. Mass, Oct. 13.-An accused
murderer was locked up at station
yesterday afternoon. The man, an
Italian of 90 years, was arrested on
North street about o'clock. at the in
stance of William Bauer, who claims to
be in the employ of New York detec-
tive agency, and halls from Scranton.
Pa. and came to Boston a few days
ago with warrant for the arrest of
one Crenceszo Merelo, for the premed-
itated murder of Emanuel Lore, in
Lackawanna township, Pennsylvania,
on the 18th Of June, 1894. The detective,
with the assistance of an interpreter,
has been searching the North End,
where Merelo was known to have been
living, and the first the Boston police
man Splllane was asked to make the
arrest. The prisoner was brought to
the station house by Bauer and Spill
lane.
NHtu SedTCHeu an lIIllIllSTdtlOH
inspection certificate was found bear
ing the name of Vincenzo Lucosale.
This is believed to be an alias, 1t showed
that the man had sailed from Naples,
Italy, April %, 1895, arriving in New
York May II. From this it appears
that the accused left the country after
the murder. The officers of station
were in possession of no further in
formation regarding their prisoner last
evening. Detective Bauer left the sta
ton house as soon as his prisoner was
booked, for the purpose of communca-
ton with Scranton parties. The war;
rant upon which the arrest was made
was issued at Scranton, Pa, Oct. Z, 1895.
and was signed by o. Il. Wright, an
alderman of that city.
The prisoner denies that he IS Me-
rolo; he says his name is Francesca De
Bracca. Detective Bauer says that it
was a case of conspiracy and that Me-
rolo was paid 500 to kill Lore, because
he was running an opposition barber
shop. The scene of the murder was at
Old Forge.

The crime for which Medic. or Nero

theSu0St- -bloodthirsty and unprovoked
IN the annals of crime in this region.
Ordinarily the shooting would not have
created the intense excitement and
comment it did. but the crime was
committed in broad daylight and in
the presence of many witnesses, and Il
was afterward believed that Medic was
assisted to escape by scores of his
Italian countrymen.

main street of Old Forge. He had an
account of Is cents against Medic. and
asked him for it on the street at p. M.
Sunday. June II, of last year Medlos
answer was a blow followed by five
shots from his revolver. Two of the
shots took effect, death being caused
by a bullet that entered the back, below
the left shoulder blade.

Sensation I'm the Durrant Case,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ga strange
story ofan alleged plot in connection
with the trial of Theodore Durrant
came to light to-day through a letter
addressed to the coroner. The police
claim they have known of the plot for
some time and that the knowledge
that the plot had been discovered led
Attorney Deuprey for the defense to
abandon the plot and take to his bed.
leaving the closing management Of
the case to General Dickinson, who,
it is alleged did not know of the
plot.
Six men are, according to the story,
implicated as those who were to swear
to false testimony prepared for them,
it is alleged, by the defense. The
police say the plan was concocted by
Durrant and carried out largely under
his direction by the aid of one of his
counsel. The plan was to make such
evidence as would prove an alibi for
DuTrant and at the same time impli-
cate Rev. Geo. Gibson in the murder
OF both Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams. One Of these alleged wit
nesses. by letter to the coroner, con-
fesses his part in the plot to manufac.
ture an alibi, and says when they were
asked to implcate Rev. Gibson they
weakened and gave a hint to the
police, who showed up their plan. A
letter dated October 9th and signed
by George Reynolds, reads rs fol-
lows:

der, sitting on the bottom of the
wagon as if asleep. Not receiving
any reply when he spoke to Pratt,
Lindsay looked closer and saw blood.
He Immediately left the camp and
notified his uncle who went to the
camp and found that Pratt was dead.
Pratt had taken off his right shoe and
stocking, placed a shot gun to his
head and pulled the trigger with his
toe, sending load OF shot into his
right temple. Appearances indicated
that he had been dead for two days.
The body was taken to Mr.. Lindsay's
house and by him brought to town
last evening.
Coroner Morgan summoned Jury
this morning and held an inquest.
From the testimony of David Lind
say, the deceased was native of
Findlay, Ohio, aged So years. The
verdict of the jury was that the de-
ceased shot himself in fit of tempo
rary insanity. The remains were
buried by the county this forenoon.

@This is all I have to say. Let

GEORGE REYNOLDS"
Accompanying the letter was a
description and purpose of the bogus
testimony, which they were to learn
before going to the witness stand.
The statement was not written by
the writer of the letter because in the
type written statement several cor
rections had been made with a pen in
hand writing, which differed from
that in the Reynolds letter.
Coroner Hawkins said: IL have
turned this letter over to the police
for investigation. 1t looks like a
hoax, but it is possible that Durrant
or some one connected with the de-
Tense may have prepared this story,
as Reynolds says. The statement,
which accompanied the letter, shows
careful work and was no doubt pre-
pared by some one who had made
close study of the case. TT Durrant
could prove what is stated in the
document he would go forth a free
man"
The substance of the Reynolds
| typewriter statement was that he had
known Durrant for ten years, that he
had met him on the evening of April
18th, the night Minnie Williams was
murdered. The statement says he
met him on Howard street where
they talked some time. In friendly
scuffle Durrant was unintentionally
thrown to the ground, and Durrant
said he was sorry he had got dirt on
his clothes as he had to go to a party
where there would be ladies present.
Durrant then left for Vogel's house,
and witness. looking at the clock,
noticed it was 8:35.
The Associated Press reporter
traced Reynolds to the address given
in his statement as Central Lodging
House, 871 Market street. The place
is cheap lodging house and the
