The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-01-19

District Attorney John r. Jones has
completed the criminal trial list FOR
February sessions, 1898. There are 342
cases upon the list, as appear below.
He has made out the list with the ex-
pectation of running three courts. He
has asked the court to call in outside
Judges so that. If possible. all the cases
upon the list may be disposed of. This
is the largest number If eases that Mr.
Jones has ever placed upon trial list.
A large number of the cases are old
ones, and the recent cases upon this list
returned by the last grand jury are
nearly all what are known as Jail cases.
The cases where defendants are in
Jail awaiting trial he has placed al the
head of the list and will give them a
speedy trial. The most important
cases are Mike Kohut, for murder;
Leon Olshefsky, for arson; the shop
lifting cases; the burglary cases against
Harry Mclean and Charles Haen-
diges; the Bogart burglars; the Free
man embezzlement and the Boland em-
bezzlement cases. 1t will be observed
that on Wednesday of the second week
there will be tried many cases of Nio-
lation of the liquor laws.
During the first week Judge Gunster
will preside in court room No. l, and
Judge Edwards in court room No. 2.
During the second week Judge Arch
bald will preside in court room No. l
and Judge Gunster in court room No.
?. Who the outside judges will be, if
our judges conclude tO oa,' +"o'o' t. 'e
not yet known. But the public having
business in criminal court may rest
assured that if it is possible for our
Judges to call in other judges from out
side Jurisdictions to nelp uIspuse OF tne
cases, they will do so.
Mr.. Jones is especially anxious to
dispose of all old cases that came over
into the new year. i is seldom, in
deed, that so many important criminal
cases appear upon the list, as it will be
observed that there are many burg
laries, robberies and the higher grade
of crimes on this list. The list is as
follows
