Tongue-one Arrest Made in Town
and the other at Park Place
Yesterdays Arrest Failed

One of the men accused of the murder of
Peter Magalunis at Trenton on Saturday, j,
in custody and the other win probably Dee
arrested tonight The arrest was made i'm
town last night at about half past ten o'clock
by Constable Matt Giblon, Of the First ward,
who accomplished the result in very clever
manner.
The man arraigned at Mamnoy City early
last evening was discharged. He was John
Danowsd, the one who was to have been
married here ON Friday night, but disap-
pointed the prospective bride and her friends
after all arrangements had been made and
left the town.
Dauowski was arrested at East Mauch
Chunk late yesterday afternoon and when
arranged before Justice May at Nuhanoy
City gave a satisfactory account of himself
He stated that me had been employed a4 20
driver by the Columbia Brewing Company i'm
thi, town. He had some trouble with %
young woman and was taken TO court, but
subsequently released under bail John
Rogers becoming his bondsmtn. Dauowsi
admitted that the matter had been adjusted
by promise Of marriage, which was to
have taken place last Friday night,
but he left the town to avoid the ceremony.
He stated that he went to Wayerly
and then to East Mauch Chunk, where the
authorities arrested him on suspicion for the
Trenton murder. DauowsH had in his
possession a railway ticket to take him to
Reading, but he said his destination was
Pittsburg Friends of the murdered man
were summoned, but they at once declared
that Danowski had nothing to do with the
murder and was Il stranger to all of them,
,wheroupon the man was discharged and at
s:2O last evening he left Mahanoy City,
presumably for Pittsburg. Justice May could
not hold him on the charge of the Shenandoah
woman because he did not know warrant
had been issued.
The arrest made by Constable Giblon is of
a more positive character In fact Andrew
RosdOtsky, the prisoner, made Il statement
when arrested admitting that ne was one Of
the men sought.
At about 10 o'clock last night Constable
Ghlon heard a Lithuanian named Frank
Rallles, or Reskwin, talk about the murder.
Rallcs was pretty drunk and when spoken
to by the officer said he knew the men
wanted for the case at Trenton but would
not tell who they were Giblon persisted in
his inquiries and finally Rlkles boasted that
one of the men wanted was in Sheuan-
doah and he could place his hand
on him within few minutes. Giblon,
thus encouraged, piled the man with more
questions and finally induced him to locate
one Of the men wanted. Rakles led Giblon
to the Lithuanian boarding house. ON South
Main street, between Cherry and Poplar
streets, kept by one William Chemistry The
place is located over the liquor store kept by
Anthony Mockaitis. 1t was arranged that
Rakles enter the place and touch the man
wanted on the shoulder. The main room OF
the boarding house was crowded with men
drinking beer. Rakles entered the place
amid cordial greetings. Giblon, as previously
arranged, remained outside the room for a
moment or two and then entered. As he did
50 he observed a heavy built, light-haired
and rather good looking young man standing
ON the floor with glass of beer in his hant
and evidently in a jolly mood. Rakles hanC
rested on this man 5 shoulder. Giblon walked
up to the man indicated and said, rs you
name Andrew RosdofskyY The answe
was prompt, but without excitement or fear
Yes, what do you wantY You ar
wanted ON charge of murder and must g
to MahanOy City" said Giblon, as he pulle
out a warrant and proceeded to rea
it. Rosdofsky made no demonstration
but quietly accompanied the officer an
on the way to Justice ToOmeys Olic
spoke quite freely concerning the case II
said that Peter Magalunis, the murdere
man, was an intruder at the wedding d
Trenton and was put out of the hOus,
Rosdofsky also admitted that he was tll
man who pushed the victim OIL the stoop
the house. 1t is claimed that this pus
caused the injuries that resulted in Magalun
death.
Rosdofsky was held by Constable Giblo
until c. q l. Policemen Geiger and Smit
were notified aud arrived from Mahano
City. They left town with the prisoner vi
the Lakeside Electric Railway AT abou
eleven o'clock last night and landed him i
the lookup at Mahanoy City without trouble
Rakles says that Rosdotsky intended to g
away to-day. lie also stated that the othC
man wanted in the case was Martin Reckwi
and that he was at Park Place and worked
the mines there yesterday. When told th'
Constable Neil Brennan had made thoroug
but fruitless search Rakles said he saw an
talked with Reckwin at Park Place yeste
day. The informer also says that ReclIwin
his real name and the man at Park Place

At noon to-day police from Mahanoy Cit
located Martin Reckwin at Park Place al
