GOOD CHANGES
FOR NEW TRIAL
Newly Discovered Evidence Alleged by
EiSenhOwer'S Counsel.
RUNORS ABOUT A SURGICAL TUBE
1t is Claimed That Before John schwindt
Died a Surgical Tube was Lost
in His Body and That Caused
His Death

Theodore Eisenhower, who was convicted
in the Criminal Court at PottsVille last May
of the murder of John Schwindt in town
last February, has a well defined ray Of hope
that he may yet secure his freedom, or at
least avoid the gallows and greatly reduce
the degree of conviction.
1t will be remembered that EisenhOwrs S
defence on the trial of the case was three
fold First, that he was insane; second that
he had been driven insane through the at
tentions paid by William Schwindt, a twin
brother of the murdered man, who escaped
the shooting through close resemblance to
the. deceased; and third, that there had been
malpractice in the surgical attendance the
deceased received after the wound had been
received, The pleas had no weight with the
jury and the accused was convicted Of muir
der in the first degree. His counsel prompt
ly applied for an arrest Of Judgment pending
motion for a new trial and for seven months
Eisenhower has been awaiting the progress
and result of this step.
The delay has been the subject of frequent
comment and many people have quite as
often ventured the opinion that it would
terminate in the counsel for the accused
springing a surprise. If current rumors
have foundation the opinion will be confirmed
when the motion for new trial comes up
for argument before Judge Savidge at a
special session of the court fixed for tonight.
The substance of the rumors afloat is that
Eisenhower's lawyers have discovered that
during one of the operations or examina-
tions of the victim before death tube used
dropped into some vacancy of the
body and was not recovered until post
mortem was held. No evidence of this, or
even hint in connection with it was brought
out at the trial, so that if true that such a
thing did happen there can be no doubt that
Eisenhower will be granted q new trial as
the discovery comes clearly within the rule
of new discovered evidence-and very i'm
portant evidence, too.
This morning Drs. j. G. Church and J.
Pierce Roberts went to Pottsville to appear
before an examiner appointed by the court
to take testimony bearing upon the alleged
discovery 1t is intimated that one, if not
both of the physicians can give testimony
showing that a surgical tube was lost in the
victims body and the examination as to
why the matter was not mentioned upon the
trial will no doubt be of great interest.

MAHER DEFEATS o'DoNNELL.
The Australian Completely Knocked Out
in TwentY-two Secnnda

In twenty-five Seconds.
New YORK, Dec. 26 1t took Just twenty
seconds of time for Peter Maher, the Irish
heavyweight pugilist, to again demon
strate his superiority in ring tactics and
hard hitting qualities over Steve O'Don-
nell, the Australian boxer, yesterday after
noon in the arena of the Greater New York
Athletic club on Coney Island. Both men
were In excellent condition and trained to
the hour.
From the outset Maher never left the
result in doubt. He rushed at O'Donnell
the moment the referee called time, and
O'Donnell assumed the defensive. The blu
Australian led his lett for Maher's body
but the Irishman blocked the blow with
his right hand glove. Then Maher sent
his left to the chin and swung again with
his left on the face. He put o. Donnsll to
the floor a second later with left on the
chin, and after the Australian regained
his feet Maher landed left smash on the
jaw following it quickly with a loft half
hook which sent o DOnnell down in n
heap.
Steve rolled over on his back in a helm
less condition, and the referee slowly
counted him out, The big Irishman stood
about twelve feet away from his fallen op-
ponent while the referee was counting off
the seconds, and tremendous shout won't
up from the 800 people who watched the
brief encounter, and the band played The
Wearing of the Green in honor of the
victor.

Some time ago Joseph Kososki, aged Is
years, of North Catherine street. and
Terrance Nichanc, aged 10 years, of West
Coal street, left their homes and decided to
take to the road" They tmmped to the
Western part of the state and on Wednesday
last Kosloaki was killed between Altoona and
Pittsburg while trying to get on a moving
freight train. The remains arrived here on
Thursday and are at the residence of the
parents. Michane arrived with them. He
escaped injury by the train, but his right arm
is badly frozen. Both the boys suffered

Bean soup tonight.
Meals at all hours.


Nicholas Plavehan, a stout-built young
Slay who resides in "Bradleys Row in the
First ward, is just now receiving the con-
graduation of his fellow countrymen over an
event that occurred in his family on Thurs
day afternoon, last. Nicholas wife, too,
comes in for great deal of admiration from
the fair sex in that end of town for the bust
ness-like manner In which she transacted
her part in the important affair, but bears
her honors with becoming mstronly dignity.
On Thursday afternoon she was busily en-
gagged preparing a baking of bread which
she postponed for half an hour, when she
presented her husband with a pair of twin
boys, and then finished her baking and has
continued her household duties without any
further interruptions since. Yesterday
Jimmy Shields, the genial First ward boni-
face, proudly drove the babes with their
God-parents to st. Michaels church, where
they were christened by Father Laurisin.
Incredible as the story appears it is we'll
authenticated, no physicians services being
needed, and the event was over before the
proud father could summon any of the
neighboring women, whose assistance also
was unnecessary. 1t is also superhuous to
state that mother and babes are doing as
well as can be expected" " and that the event
was celebrated yesterday with great eclat.
