Cases that will co UP
Bezek's Right to New Trial May Be
Argued Before Supreme Court.
ATTORNEYS HAVE NOT DECIDED
Next Step to Be Taken In His Behalf
Not Yet Settled Upon-Case of Scran.
ton Gas and Water Company
Has Been Appealed.

Feb. 25 will be the first day of the
Lackawanna week at the supreme
court at Philadelphia, when cases
passed upon DIN this county will be re-
viewed by the highest tribunal in the
state.
Among the cases that may be argued
that week is that of Franz Beck, now
under sentence of death for murder.
George NJ. Watson, one. of his attor-
neys, said yesterday that it had not
been decided as yet what steps would
be taken in Bezek's case, as he had not
had consultation with his associate,
Mr.. Coborn.
1t will require money to carry the
case up to the supreme court. AS At
torneys Watson and Colborn defended
the unfortunate man in the local courts
gratis, it would be unjust to expect
them to furnish the money to prosecute
the case further. Mr.. Watson refused
to discuss that phase of the case and
said that Bezek's ability or inability to
furnish funds to carry the case to the
supreme court had not been considered
at all by himself or associate in their
relations to the condemned man.
Trying to Raise Money.
From another source ut was learned
that Bezek's friends are raising money
for him and that a substantial allow
ance will soon be received from his
father in Austria.
The case of the Scranton Gas and
Water company against the Lackawan-
ma Iron and Coal company is another
that will be argued before the supreme
court. 1t was tried here about six
weeks ago and a verdict returned in
favor of the plaintiff. Instead Of urg-
ing its claims for a new trial the de
| fendant company has taken the case
to the supreme court.
Three ejectment suits that have
awakened great interest in this vicinity

| justices of the upper court They arc
