RYAN COMES TODAY.
He's the Philadelphia Boxer Slated
to Meet Judge Thursday Night.

Tommy Ryan, the Philadelphian, who
is to meet Jimmy Judge in a 20-rCund
boxing bout Thursday night at Music
hall, will reach here from New York
city early this afternoon. lie will
probably be accompanied by Tommy
West with whom he has been training
at COney Island.
Judge has been training at his home
near AvOCa He has frequently been
in Scranton during the last month and
his friends, who have had ample Op-
portCnity to look him over are fully
satisfied as to his weight and general
condition. On Saturday he was only
one and one-half pounds oyer the linn
it of li2 pounds and ought to be below
weight tomorrow. The men are tC
weigh i'm at ? o'clock Thursday after
noon at PurCell's bath rooms.
Neither Ryan nor Judge undcresti-
mates the others worth. The Scran-
tonian is practically an undefeatod
lightweight and this is to he his first
appearance in the Wclterwoight class.
Ryan. too, is considered almost an un-
defeated boxer lie has an advantage
over Judge in having met a better
class of boxers.

AldermaD's Decision in the Reeves
Davis Case Is Reserved.

Decision in the case of Al Reeves, the
Snowman, against Proprietor Davis, of
Davis theater was reserved by Alder
man Wright, before whom the case was
heard Saturday morning. Reeves was
not present, but his attorney, Frank
Boyle, offered an affidavit sworn to by
the former and giving his side of the
dispute, which involves $9S.
A. j, Colborn was Mr.. Davis cOun-
sci. He objected to the use Of the afi-
davit, but no decision was made on
that point, 1t viii be remembered that
the Reeves show appeared at the the
ater April A. and and that Mr. Davis
at the opening performance had the
curtain "rung down. when two SOU
brettes sang to men they had singled
out in the audience, The engagement
was finished under verbal contract.
Reeves claims he was to have re-
ceived 20 per cent Of $500, or Si20. Mr..
Davis contends that the percentage
was contingent upon the state of the
weather; that ii rained during the en-
gagement, and that Reeves was en-
titled to only the amount paid him, $9S
less than 70 per cent division.

ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL.
Sevario Abbatte viii BE Arraigned
for Killing Vito Raimoudi.

SeVariO Abbate will be placed on
trial today before Judge Edwards for
the murder of Vito RaimOndi. The
tragedy occurred last Labor Day, Mon
day, Sept. 6, at the corner of Birch
street and Schimpffs court, South Side.
The only question to hc decided in the
trial is the degree of the crime, Abhate
having admitted committing the deed.
The commonwealth will press strongly
for first degree verdict and the
chances are that such will be the re-
suit The accused will claim that the
killing was done in self-defenSe.
The murder resulted from a trivial
quarrel and, besides killing Raimondi.
Abbate very seriously wounded Frank
Russa. The latter hOvcred between life
and death for weeks at the LackaWan-
ma hospital but finally recovered and
is able to he about.
When captured, after the killing. Alb
bate had a narrow escape from being
lynChed.
BY the efforts of the officers he was
landed safely in the police station and
at the hearing, next morning, admitted
that he killed Raimondi, and identified
the revolver with whicn the deed was
committed. He was sent to the county
Jail and has been there since.
Abbate is "A years Of age, weighs 137
pounds is tall and slender and of light
complexion. His victim was AZ years
of age.
John +. Scragg and John NJ. Harris
will appear as counsel for Abbate. Dis
trict Attorney Jones viii represent the
commonwealth. 1t is not likely that
even the drawing of a jury will be
commenced before this afternoon, as
District Attorney Jones will not be re-
lieved from the Van Horn case until
noon, at least
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-12-06

he saw her They would meet at the
postoffice, out at the county jail or
some other appointed place and spend
hours in each others company. They
had 1t arranged that she should hang
white cloth from a certain window
if the coast was clear and when he
saw this signal he would go by the
back way into the cellar and await
her coming.
On the evening of the killing he went
to the cellar between and O'clock
About o'clock Mrs. Wescott came
down. bringing him something to eat.
She sat and talked with him for twen-
ty minutes and then went upstairs
Before she went up he told her
he would like to shave and she
promised to bring him down a razor
When she came down again she
brought the razor and also some bread
and meat. He was stropping the razor
while she sat at his left on the steps
with her arm around his neck. She
was scoldng him mildly for his dis
solute habits and imploring him to
brace uD and be a better man. He
playfully drew the back of the razor
across her throat as he had often done
before, to tease her. She jumped up,
crying out: George, you've cut me-"
He was frightened and ran out, seal
ing the back fence and walking away
He then described his flight and ar
rest substantially as has been printed
and denied having told Lieutenant pa
Wis and Detective Moir that he had
killed Mrs. Wescott. He also denied
making the threats, attributed to him
by Mrs. George Nicman, James Pryor
and Hiram Helm. and said he could
not remember having made the threats
which the others accuse him of.
ON Cross-examination Van Horn was
asked by District Attorney Jones:
Are you insane now? Do you claim
you are Crazy?" mo, sir" replied
Van Horn. He further went on to say
that he doesn't know whether or not
he was crazy at the time of the kill
ing, but he was certain that the deed
was accidental.
VIEWED THE PREMISES.
AT the conclusion of Van Horns ex-
animation the jury, with Judge Arch
bald and the attorneys, went to view
the premises. They were gone about
an hour When the trial was resumed,
r. owen Charles. of the Republican,
went on the stand and testified that
he was at the Van Horn hearing in
Alderman Millar'S office and heard
George Wickenhoffer testify that he
had been called across to Mrs Wes-
colts on the night of the killing and
that he went in search of a doctor.
This testimony was for the purpose Of
disCrediting Wickenhoffer.
Some minor matters were brought
out from witnesses recalled by one side
or the other and at 4.55 o'clock the
attorneys declared they had nothing
more to present.
1t was decided to make the argu-
mentS today.
