COMMONWEALTH SURPRISED.

This testimony was apparently not
expected by the commemorative side.
Mr. Jones had the witness admit that
he did not make as thorough an ex-
animation as Coroner Kelly and then
attempted to show by Or. Van Doran
that Gouse's body had been exhumed
and the skull further examined, but
as the witness only connection with
the eXhumation was the granting of
the permit Of the Archibald board of
health of which he was secretary.
court sustained Mr.. Balentine's objec-
tion on the ground that the evidence
offered was not competent.

been an eye witness of the murder.
was called to the stand Just before ad-
journment Through Interpreter Mar
tin Woyshner he was describing how.
from another room, he saw Gouse
strike his father twice with the iron
shoe last, when court adjourned.
Gouse is about % years of age, but
is rather boyish in appearance. He
wears n greyish suit of new clothes. a
high turn-down collar of the latest
style and q natty blue four-in hand
tie. He has light hair and blue eyes
and his face is pale and colorless. He
sits at his Counsel's elbow. with his
hands clasped in front of him. seldom
moving, but following with his eyes
everything that transpires and listen
ing with the greatest attentiveness to
every word that is uttered one
would not pick him out for a mur-
dered. but rather as a dull, inoffensive
fellow.

sented the commonwealth. Messrs

Wilson and Moore, of his attempt to
dispose of them in Davidows. of his ar
rest at Mr.. Davidow's instigation and

Mrs. Gouse were responsible for saw
ing Reminsky Had the relations Of
Reminsky and Mrs. Gouse been known
at the time. it is possible that there
would have been a different ending 10
the boarder's trial.
The trial proper was begun at S,45.
Judge Edwards first gave the jury
some preliminary instructions as TO
how they should conduct themselves
during the trial, delicately warning
them against the use OF liquors. di-
recting them not TO read any local
papers and advising them not TO dis
Cuss the case even among themselves
until it has been finally placed in their
hands.
OPENING THE CASE.
District Attorney Jones opening was
brief but forceful. He concisely
sketched history OF the case. ou,ln-
ing what the commonwealth would at
tempt 10 prove ana impressing on the
jury the awful responsibility that now
rests on their shoulders, saying that
they owed duty 10 this and every
commonwealth in the union and that
they should meet il untiinchingly and
without allowing themselves to be
swerved by sympathy.
EN-CorOner John J. Kelly was the
first witness called. He told Of max
ing the post-mortem examination, de-
scribed the wounds and gave it as his
/ opinion that depression 0f the brain

would necessarily prove fatal, it is
claimed, by the commonwealth. The
son. it is charge, inflicted the fatal
injuries. his weapon being an iron last
holder used by cobblers. The stab
wounds are laid to Reminsky.
Both ran away but returned in the
course of a couple of hours. Reminsky
was taken by the police but the son
escaped. He went to- Forest City and
after a week returned to Carbondale.
The authorities got word of his being
there and attempted to capture him. but
on arriving at the house where he had
been stopping it was learned he had de-
parted the night before for Salem.

ACQUITTAL OF REMtNsKY.

The peculiar feature of this trial is
that Reminsky, the man who inflicted
the stab wounds, has been tried and
acquitted of the murder When his
case was before the court in 1895 his
attorney, NJ. y. Mckinley paid little
attention to disproving the charge that
his client inflicted the stab wounds,
but instead bent all his efforts to show
first that the blow on the head was
fatal and that Gouse was in the eyes
of the law murdered before the stab
wounds were inflicted: second. that
the stab wounds We're at all events
only superficial and not possibly fatal
of themselves. The admission of Coro-
ner Kelly that the contention of the
defense regarding the wounds was cor
rect and the favorable testimony of

ARRESTED AT MAHANoY CITY.

After leaving Salem he went to Cen
tralia and from there to Mahanoy City,
where he met John Sotofsky, fellow
countryman, with whom he became
very intimate. In burst of confidence
he confessed to his friend that he had
murdered his father He later had Il
serious quarrel with Sotofski and out
of revenge the latter told Squire O Brien
of Gouse's crime. The squire tele-
graphed the information to the Arch
bald authorities and Gouse was arrest
ed last summer. When in custody in
Schuylkill county he confessed to Off
GERS Harrigan and Russell that he was
his fathers slayer and they are here
now to testify to this.

The old man Gouse worked in the
mines during the day and in the even
ing made a little extra money by
mending miners shoes. He was a
quiet. sober and industrious man from
all reports.
The son. on the contrary, was dis
turber, and judging from the fact that
his fathers refusal 10 give him drink
money was one Of the alleged causes
that aroused his murderous rage, il
might be taken that he was the oppo-
site 10 his father in the matter of in
dustry and sobriety. ReminSky. the
