Dnryea, in the upper end of this couL-
ty, comes to the front again with SEN
sation. This time it is stabbing alIray
that may cost two men their lives. The
trouble arouse over Peter Dapken's S
escorting young woman home from a
christening. Simon Walkais, a suitor
for the hand of the young woman, OBJ
iected and pursued the couple. While
returning home Dapken was met by
Walkais. Without any warning, it is
charged, Walkals sprang at Dapken and
plunged large knife into his left side,
severing the lung. Dapken uttered a
piercing Shrek of pain and sank to the
ground. The cry brought large mum
Der of inmates of the house to the scene,
and Il free fight ensued extending into a
saloon close by.
In the fracas Frank Watztsewitz, one
of the guests, was badly injured by be-
ing stabbed in several places. The keen
edge of the knife almost severed the
left arm, while his face and shoulder are
horribly mutiated. His injuries will
probably prove fatal.
After being struck Dapken was carried
in the house and a doctor summoned. He
found him in sinking condition. Dap:
ken could give no reason for the foul
attack, and said he had never had trouble
with Walkalis. He had accompanied
the woman to her home merely for a
walk, and was not aware that Wilkalis
had more than a passing acquaintance
with her. The doctor is of the opinion
the man will die.
Immediately after the crime WalkaIis
made his escape, but later was captured
and placed in the county jail.

AT that time Carbondale was part
of Luzerne county and the prisoner was
tried before Judge Harding. Campbell
was tried and convicted twice and was
sentenced to death bygudge Harding on
September 49, 1877.
Judge Woodward, then a practicing
young attorney, and the late Montgom-
cry Flanagan, at that time II candidate
for congress on the labor ticket, used
their influence with the governor and
had Campbel's sentence commuted to
life Imprisonment.
Campbell, on the night of the murder,
was seated on the porch of a neighbor
taking to two girls. McNulty passed
and made some remark. Campbell i'm
mediately shot him. The young man
bore his victim no malice and his act
was the .hasty anger of an intoxicated
man.
On July 21 Campbell will have served
twenty-one years in jail having spent
fifteen months in the county prison be-
fore he was sent to the pententiary.
