All cases not on the trial list for

ruary sessions. Oyer and Terminer cases
cannot be tried at special sessions, for
the order Of court provides for two
weeks of criminal court for the trial
of quarter sessions cases only. The
district attorney, in arranging the pres
ent trial list, has left off the lengthy
cases. as 1t is his intention to try as
many Of the short quarter sessions
cases. as is possible so that the large
number Of litigants and their witnesses
will not be obliged to appear at court
term after term to have their cases
disposed of.
When very lengthy case is called
for No. or No court room, it neces-
sarily crowds out the trial of smaller
cases. and as the February trial list.

better opportunity to dispose Of the
lengthy cases at that time with very
little inconvenience to parties inter.
ested In the other cases. This arrange
ment will be an accommodation to
parties having business in criminal
court. and saving to the county in

Murderer Crezenzo Merolo was iden-
titled yesterday at the county jail by
an Italian named Antonio Cicero. who
knew the convict three years c. so ago
out in .Westmoreland county. before
the slayer of Emanuel Loro came to
these parts.
Cicero landed in Scranton a few days
ago and heard among some of his coun-
trymen of the recent trial of Merolo.
and that. Notwithstanding the defend
ants stout and perscvering assumption
of innocence on the plea Of mistaken
identity, the jury brought in verdict
of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. Cicero was anxious to see the
prisoner, for he knew Merolo WELL
1t was arranged that he would visit
the Jail yesterday and get a look at
the man awaiting sentence of death.
1t occurred that Attorney John T. Mar
tin was present in the Jail holding an
interview with Merolo, when Cicero
and local Italian Were ushered by
Warden Jay to the door of the cell.
The prisoner was standing up peering
through the iron bars of his cell when
Cicero confronted him with q friendly
salutation and addressed him as Merolo.
The prisoner glared at him and scorned
the greeting with n growl Of disgust; :;
but in doing so he betrayed an uneasi-
ness that had a telltale effect.
Attorney Martin said he would be
glad to meet a man who was not a
witness in the case, and knows the
prisoner. Cicero assured Mr.. Martin and
Warden Jay that there is no question
at all but that the man charged with
the crime is CrezenZo Merolo. He
