ROSTOSkY JURY OUT.
Case Given 10 II for Consideration At
Noon Yesterday.

Case Given 10 II for Consideration at
Noon Yesterday.
Lackawanna county's criminal calen-
dar was yesterday cleared of murder
cases when the ROstosky trial ended
and the jury retired TO its room to de-
liberate upon verdict. There Is OF
course, one more murder, that which
was perpetrated Il few weeks ago on
the South Washington avenue flats, but
the criminal in that case is yet uncap-
tured.
Court opened yesterday at $50 and
ex-Judge w IL. stanton addressed the
jury in behalf of the defendant The
feature OF the plea was the argument
in favor of Rostosky on the ground OF
self-defense. Judge Stanton's address
was careful rehearsal of the evidence,
and the strong points in favor of the
District Attorneys Plea.
defendant We're commented upon forci-
bly,.
District Attorney Jones argued to the
jury in favor OF first degree verdict,
and very unsparingly alluded to the
disposition among the lawless element
in this county to commit murder with
out any provOcation. The district at
torney finished his eloquent argument
in less than an hour, and then Judge
Albright opened his charge. 1t was II
comprehensive and most impartial re-
capitulation of the evidence and clear
vigorous eXpounding of the statutes re-
lating to the crime of murder.
Judge Albright did not gloss over any
of the circumstances in order to create
Il feeling for the defendant. He in
structed the jurors that they were
sworn to do justice between the prls.
lOner at the bar and the commonwealth
regardless of the consequences to the
defendant; they had heard both sides
of the case and If they believed that the
murder was done in self-defenSe. the
defendant should be acquitted, or If q
reasonable doubt, fairly arising from
the evidence, should enter their minds
the defendant should receive the ben.
eft of that doubt and be acquitted then
/ Court also impressed the jurymen with
the grave responsibility of their task
and ordered them to give due consid
Grafton to the interests of the defend
. ant

Victims of Murdsrous Burglars Buried

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1.-Two hearses,
doubling the funereal aspect OF the occa'
sion, stood in front of tho morgue this
afternoon. One OF these was drawn by
pair of black horses, and the other by
team of white steeds. The block from
to X street was filed with carriages
and the sidewalk in front OF the morgue
where lay the mutilated remains OF the
murdered F. II. L. Webber and vile was
crowded with people, who waited pa
tiently for the gruesome spectacle of the
oaskets being placed in the hearses.
After all the necessary preliminaries
had been arranged, the pail besrers per-
formed the duty required OF them, and
tsndsrly deposited the caskets in the
hearse.
Long before the arrival of the funeral
cortegs, tho Baptist church on Ninth
street was besieged by a vast crowd of
men and women who found that they
mad come too late to obtain better posi-
tions than those afforded by a standing
position aGsinst the wall of the audi

For Over One Hundred Days David
jones Has Not Closed His Eyes,
A Strange Case.

ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 2.-Dsvid Jones,
the wealthy farmer residing in the north
part of the county near Eilwood, 10 still
wakeful and sleep refuses to visit him.
He has passed his Tooth day and night.
Today 10 his 104th.
He says that 10 days prior TO tho 9th
day of September he virtually got no
sleep, his rest being troubled with
delirium and his eyes only closing in
sleep for ftful moments. So bis sleeps
lessness really dates back from Septem-
Der 18th. But after September 23d no
olesp at all has visited him. He eats
we'll, ia able to work and when he lies
down at night he rests we'll for an hour
or two, gets up and reads or employs his
time otherwise for an hour or two and
then lies to rest for short time. But
no sleep comes. He has fallen of about
five ponnds during his insomnia.
His case ia a strange one, bat no more
so than several others on record. In
Parke county, near the little inland
town of Bridgeton, resides young man
named Tom Watt, who has not slept
any for years. He is now rs years of age
and no sleep has visited bis eyes Tor the

some excuse for attacking the COM
mittee."
Mr.. Golf declines most emphatically
to have anything to say in the way OF

Superintendent Byrnes was equally reti-
cent when questioned about DR.. Park
hurst's attack. Mayor Strong would
not talk-sbout the matter sRd even DR..
Parkhurst denied himself to reporters.
Thomas O. Plat was not in town, but
his views concerning Parkhurst became
public through the medium of Wilkes
barre paper, whose representative in.
terviewed the Republican leader. Said
Mr., Plat to the Wilkesbarre reporter:
HE (Dr. ParkhursD had done much
good but by reason of the fiattery of the
New York newspapers l am inclined to
think his head has become swollen. His
ideas regarding the suppression OF crime
no longer amount to suggestions or re-
quests, but are given out In q way that
has latterly become Observation-Disclosures
is they are issued as orders. When
asked his opinion regarding any move-
ment looking to the publication of the
police force or the suppression OF crime,
it has become his custom to say that
man must CO., or that must be DONE
Some are pleased by this method but
others-men OF wisdom who desire only
practical reform are inclined to not only
take exception to it but crlticise it
hRrHhly,"

He evidently misunderstood it. and

THE THIEVES FELL OUT.
NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS LOCATED
IN CAPE TOWN.
The London Police Want tho Fugitives
for Ind ulging in q Catlass
Fight.

LONDON, Jan. 1T is reported that
Frank Talbo, alias Frank Taylor. who,
together with William Carroll Wood
ward, alias the Hon. Lionel Musgrsve,
were arrested here charged with par
ticipating in a fight with cutlssses at
No. Is Union Place, Regent Park, and
who afterwards jumped his bail, has
been arrested at Cape Town.
Subsequent to the disappearance of
Tarbo and Woodward. who also jumped
his bail, the police learned were bosh not
ed American criminals and the cutlass
fight had it's origin over q division of
spoils. 1t appears that CT Sunday.
October 9TH, well-dressed man, who
gave his name as Arthur Ssville, was
thrown out of the house referred to
above, cutting his face and head. After
the police entered the house another
man, who said he was Arthur Cock
burn, was lying in the hallway bleeding
from wounds similar to those inflicted
ON Ssvile. Lying near Cock5urn were
two cutlasses. Tarbo and Wood ward,
the occupants OF the house, were placed
under arrest. They declared that
Ssvills and Cockburn had been wounded
in u fight following q drinking bout and
that this cutlsesss had been used by
them Chs prisoners) in self-defenae.
Later they were admitted to bail, where-
upon they disappeared.
Then the police discovered, aided by
New York police, that their quandam
prisoners were international criminals
who were badly wanted. The man
ssvills turned out to be the younger son
of one of the wealthiest dukes whom
Tsrbo and Woodward had robbed, by
means OF cards. of about 100000. In
vestigstion showed that they had
swindled many others out of very large
sums of money. one of their victims be-
ing Samuel Lewis, probably one of the
best known and sharpeat money lenders
in England. Mr.. Lewis is extremely
reticent in regard to the affair, and he
refnsed to tell how the sharpers got the
best of him. Tarbo was at one time q
leader of the notorious Joseph Irving
gang of New York. The London police
have been untiring in their efforts to
locate the pair, and it ia believed that
they have been successful as far as
Tarbo is concerned. Woodward is want
ed to answer for an additional offense
about to leave the country. A man to
whom they owed money learned in some
way that they had gone to Gravesend.
He followed, met them and demanded
the payment OF the debt. Woodward
hit him on the head with some sort of q
weapon and nearly killed him.
