The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-02-06

afternoon, swore that they drank moth
ing in his place and had no trouble of
any kind. Conforti, Boschino Imbriano
and Salvatore left his place apparently
good friends.
There was much anticipation and
craning of neckS when Antonio I'M
briano was called to the stand. He is
large man with a large moustache of
the same sweeping pattern as that of
BoSchino. They seem to be quite the
fad in Bunker Hill. In answer to Dis
trict Attorney Jones' searching ques-
tions he said that he lived about twenty
feet from the house Conforti had occu-
pied, and is married, his wife being n
cousin of the murdered man. On Sun
day, Nov H. he met Conforti in Frank
Bonnellos house and left that place
with him and Vinzenzo Biazo during
the afternoon. About 4 p. m. they
reached Lally's hotel and went in.
Boschino Was The ere
"Was Boschino there?" Yes, sir"
What did Conforti say there"
when we walked into Lally's Frank
Comforti went to ask Roldo Lally If
he could go himself and buy lot in the
cemetery for Bonnellos dead child"
What else did they do there"
"Frank Comfort then again said the
priest he says, kind of chased me out
of the house. and Joseph Boschino
told Frank Comforti that he was no
good, and that is the reason the priest
cha sed him out of the house,
Was anything else said by Boschino
while you and Comfort were there"
mo, sir; they simply talked together"
Don't you know how long you re-
mained at the hotel?" "One hour and
a half"
Did you go out together" "Yes,
sir Myself and Frank Comforti."
Which direction did you take?" THE
road ofsI'unker Hill toward our house"
After you left Lally's hotel did you
see Boschino?" HE reached us on the
| road near the Erie and Wyoming COM
pany's office"
Was he walking or running" HE
was running, and when he caught up
to US he said, why did you not wait for
| me""
What was said?' when we were
walking we were talking together and
when we got near the bridge Joseph
| Boschino threw Frank Conforti down"
Now go ON and state what hap
pened when you got upon the bridge
After he knocked him down Joseph
| Boschino took out razor in his hands,
and l grabbed Boschno and asked him
why he did that for nothing and Frank
| Conforti said to Joseph Boschino, why
| do you want to cut me? / didn't do
| anything to YOU Joseph Boschino re-
piled: What do you say about my
wife" Then Rocco SALVATORE came
along and asked what happened. Jo-
seph Boschino then cut Rocco Saliva
tori on the finger, and SALVATORE drew
a revolver. When Joseph Boschino saw
Salvatore with the revolver in his
hands he told me to let him loose. l
let him go and he walked ahead"
"Who walked ahead" Joseph Bos-
chino. Then Frank Conforti said two
mean words to him and another word
combining him and his wife, giving his
wife a bad character. He says, 'Tomor-
row | will have you arrested"
| Would Have Him Arrested.
Frank Conforti said he would have
Boschino arrested--is that it?" Yes,
sir. Then came along John Myran and
Frank Chipreanno and Lewis Valvan-
no. / told them that Joseph Boschino
and Frank Conforti had simply quar-
rel; then the four of us took the road
and walked away towards my home.
When we walked away we left John
Myran and Frank Conforti and Rocco
Salvatore very near to the bridge. When
/ got in the middle of the railroad l
| heard some shots fired, then / turned
around and I saw who fired the shots;
] saw that it was Joseph Boschino that
| fired the shots. Just a little while af-
ter ! heard three other shots; then |
got scared and / run to the house.
That is the whole story l have got to
tell"
Where was Boschino when he fired
those shots?" He was not far away
from Frank Confort'
WELL whereabouts?' "Right into a
bush"
(which side of the road?' "On the
right side
| Where was Frank when the shots
We're fired?" He was walking then
on the path"
(which direction was he going?''
He was coming towards the railroad
to go to his house,
'Iou say you heard two shots at
first?" Yes, sir"
And then three shots?" "Yes, sir"
How long space was there between
the time when the two shots were fired
and when the three shots were fired?
1.-Two or three minutes" Later he said
it was not more than a minute.
Where We're the three shots fired
from, if you know?' "On top of the
hill"
What did Boschino do. If you know
after he fired the shots?" Il came
to the house. 1 don't know nothing
else"
Where was Rocco SALVATORE when
the shots were fired?" THE two o:
them We're together, Rocco Salvatore
and John Myran.''
when the two shots were fired what
did Frank Conforti do?" He fell
down"
Story Not Shaken.
Mr.. Horn cross-eXamined the wit
ness at length, but did not shake his
story in any very material respect
Imbriano stoutly maintained that they
were all sober at the time. When court
adjourned for the day District Attor-
ney Jones was conducting redirect eX-
animation.
