The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-09-15

The New York Sun recently proclaimed
"HoDo" to the sheriff of Luzerne
county" The heart of.the humane. man
is sorely touched by the thought of the
agony caused by this terrible onslaught
and horrible massacre of WORK ingmen
many of whom left dependent..wive aud
children behind them. TO the mind of
the sincere observer the conclusion from
the facts in the case is irresistibly that
the sheriff acted most brutality. Yet the
Republican press of the country has had
naught to say in condemnation of the
brutal outrage. They are either silent or
apologize in it's comments on the crime.
1t is possible that politics control their
attitude in the matter and that the fact
of the sheriff of Luzerne county being a
Republican has anything to do with this
curious harmoniousness of policy.

The seed sown by The Times, however,

CAUGHT BY A BICYOLIST.
Justice Potts Pcrplexed Over ar
AtrociOus Assault Case.

Frederick Kathmeyer, So years old, of
No. Cos First street, Hoboken, was ar
raigned before Justice Potts today to an
swer a charge of atrocious assault. While
driving through. Cole street yesterday
morning he ran over Emra Flanagan, the
four year old daughter of Policeman
Flanagan of the Seventh street station.
The child's legs were badly injured. She
was hurt internally to such an extent
that it is feared she will be a cripple for
life.
kathmeyer was apparently unaware
that he had driven over the child, as he
drove on as though nothing had oc-
CURED. Several people who had wit
messed the accident chased Kathmeyer,
but he drove so fast that they abandoned
the chase.
Thomas Delaney, of No. IS Brunswick
street, happened along at about this time.
He wa Mounted on a bicycle. When In
formed of what occurred he started in
pursuit of Kathmeyer, o~vertaking him in
Ferry street, Hoboken. Kathmeyer ac-
companied the bicyclist to the Seventh
street station.
When taken before Captain McNulty he
declared thai he was not aware of having
run over any one, and said If he had he
was sorry for 1t, and was willing to
make amends and would pay any damages
possible which might result to the child.
Justice Potts this morning was ONE
what perplexed. He could moi find that
meyer was driving recklessly or thai the
accident was due to any carelessness on
his part. Kathmeyer Is ito be given an
other examination Saturday morning.

Judge Ga.hts,ys Degradation.

The Republican Senate refusing to listen
to Senator Days resolution of eensure
on Judge Gaskill, reminds one of nothing
but the traditional ostrich hiding its head
in the sand. Do the party leaders think
that because they choked off the Demo
cratic Senator with a monstrous abuse of
parliamentary rule. they thereby hid from
the people of the State the degradation
which the bench endures in the appear
ance of a Judge in the lobbies of the
Legislature as the attorney of a corpora
ton. = -rsa
If any Democratic Judge were SO de-
PRAYED in moral tone as to do this thing,
would the Republican Legislators shield
him? If Judge Gaskill should nave APP
peared as the advocate of any popular
cause, of equal taxation, for instance,
would the R~epubHeaa Senators SO scrupu-
lousy protect him from recorded censure?
1t is the fellow feeling which makes
the corporation tools who fill the chairs
o IN the floor of the Senate, so kind to the
Judge. who put off his errnine to mingle
in the questionable rabbie that hangs on
to the skirts of the Legislature.

For chief j u.s.ce, eslbsr, collins.


If the vacant office of Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court is to be filed by a
member of the Hudson county bar, be-
yond sall doubt the man upon whom the
honor should be conferred is Mr.. Gilbert
Collins of the eminent firm of Collins &
Corbin. There can be no doubt but his
selection by Governor Griggs would give
high satisfaction to the lawyers and the
public of both parties, and the same
thing can hardly be said of any other
lawyer we can think of.
Mr.. Collins is a Republican, but he is
a Republican in the open. He has done
his party good service without resorting
to Islander n malignant misrepresenta-
ton as so many of the orators of that
party are accustomed to do. He is q
lawyer and a businessman. second in
honor, in ability and in experience to
none in the State. He is personally ge-
NAL and courteous and popular among
all h know him.
More than once MIR. Collins has been
spoken Of in connection with the Su-
preme Court. The fitness of things has
long since singled him out for elevation
to the bench. The present seems. to be
an unusually appropriate opportunity, and
it is to be hoped Governor Griggs will
take advantage of it.

An appeal case from the Hoboken Dis
trict Court is being tried in the Common
Pleas Court today. The appellant is
Michael Ricco, a swarthy Italian, who
keeps a saloon at No. 500 Jefferson street,
Hoboken, and the appellee is Mrs. Mary
Kelly, a widow with fire children who
lives in a fiat at No. 502 Jefferson street,
Hoboken.
On September "a Mrs. Kelly was re-
turning from a grocery store, her arms
filled with bundles. She a bread. butter
and sugar. She saw Ricco striking her
boy and she rebuked him for it. saying
that she did not allow anybody to strike
her children. Whatever punishment they
needed she was able to administer herself.
Ricco, who was not in a good temper be-
cause Mrs. Kelly's son had struck him
in the back of the neck with half a brick,
gave her a push and her groceries fell
on the sidewalk. Ricco started in pursuit
of the Kelly boy and Mrs. Kelly chased
Ricco. The boy was too fleet for Ricco
escaped. Rtcco turned and struck
Mrs. Kelly, knocking her down. h tried
to get up and he knocked her down again.
He knelt on her chest and choked her.
These facts were testified to by Mrs.
Kelly and several Witnesses. Mrs. Kelly
became unconscious and to be car
ried into the house.
Ricco positively denied all the state.
ments of the other side. According to his
testimony he is the mildest
Italian out of Jail. On the contrary she
bombarded him with her groceries. threat
ened to lick him and even struck him.
Her boy hit him with a brick and he
chased the boy about fifty feet; that was
all. He had no intention of touching
Kelly; he only wanted to rave him ar
rested. He never touched anybody and
his hot italian blood was down very near
to zero all the time. The case was not
finished at recess. Mrs. Kelly got a YER
diet for $500 in the District Court.
