KINNEY WAS JNMOVED.


Without the slightest emotion Kin
ney received his consignment to liv-
ing death and walked back to the pris-
oners dock with firm step, while his
features were vainly searched for an
indication of terror, by the crowd in
the court room, which n moment be-
fore was itself shocked into a general
"Oh!" by the words, nineteen years
and six months at separate and srli-
tary confinement.
BY good behavior Kinney can short
en- his sentence five and one half years.
The story of the crime, as told by
the witnesses, was that Kinney was
drinking heavily on the night OF the
third of July last, and all day on the
Fourth. About 3 o'clock in the even
ing he was In a friends house and
was one OF five drunken men who fin
ished a quart bottle OF wh!skey. He
went out the back way and started
down the main street where he met
and shot his wife, sending one bullet
into her head and another through
her heart. He continued ON to Car
bondale and gave himself up. A new
revolver and a box of cartridges were
found on his person.
The contention of the defense was
that by reason Of Kinney's long de-
bauch he was in a condition which
precluded the possibility of his form
ing a deliberate intent to kill. Judge
Edwards based his decision on the
ground that If a jury passed on the
case it would undoubtedly experience
a reasonable doubt of his having pre-
meditated the murder.
SUDDEN PASSION PRESUMED.
The fact that the Commonwealth
could not show that Kinney's meeting
with his wife was not accidental was
what saved him from the sallows. The
presumption followed. or ut least
could be presumed, that the crime was
committed in the sudden heat of pas
sion, without deliberation or premedi-
tation.
Kinney and his wife were not on
good terms, but lived together AS he
said himself, just before starting
down the road, MARY would be all
right only for her folks" Ellen Dolan.
Mrs. Iiinney's mother, who was with
her when she met her husband, says
that Kinney stopped his wife and
asked her for money. Mrs. Kinney
answered that she had given him all
the money she had excepting 50, and
she needed that for the house. Mrs.
Dolan walked on and was some dis
tance away when she heard the shots
and Mrs. Kinney's screams.
This is the second time in the his
tory Of the county that a murderer
has plead guilty. The other case was
that of Sevario Abbate, who killed
Vito Raimondi on Labor Day. Sep
tember 6, 1897. at the corner of Birch
street and Schimpff's court, as a re-
suit of some insulting words which
passed during a quarrel. He shot
Raimondi four times and afterwards
shot Frank Russa, a neighbor, whom
Abbate thought was running out to
intercept his flight Russa hovered
between life and death for many
weeks at the Lackawanna hospital,
but finally recovered. Judge Edwards
gave Abbate twelve years and four
months. His attorneys were John F.
Scragg and John NJ. Harris.

The Mayleld burglary case was given
to the jury at il o'clock yesterday
morning and at adiourning time they
were still out. 1t was the general opin-
ion UP to the time of the closing ad-
dresses that the jury would not be out
any longer than the time that would
be required to write out their verdict.
Mr.. OBrien's arguments In summing
up for the defense, however, appears
to have raised Il doubt in the minds IF
some of the Jurors as to the guilt of
the accused. At 9 o'clock the jury, it
was reported, stood nine for conviction
and three for acquittal. Shortly after
wards they agreed.
When Judge Edwards came on the
bench, yesterday morning, he an
nounced that the jury was not TO con-
| slider the first count of the indictment,
common law burglary, for which the
maximum penalty is ten years impris-
onment and $1,000 fine. This left the
jury to decide between the innocence
of the defendants and their guilt on the
second and third counts, statutory
burglary by breaking in and statutory
burglary without breaking in, for
which the maximum penalty, in each
instance, is four years imprisonment
and $500 fine.
WANTED TO CLOSE.
Mr.. O'Brien asked for the privilege
of making the closing address, 20 which
he was entitled, he claimed, by reason
of the defense not having offered any
testimony. Court, however, denied the
request.
The closing addresses were limited TO
half hour on each side Mr.. O'Brien
strOve to impress on the jury that
every man is innocent until he is proven
guilty; that If a defendant chooses to
rely on the weakness Of the prosecu-
tion and not offer testimony in de-
fense. the law directs that his silence
Is not to prejudice his case in the minds
of the jury, and that the common
wealth in this case failed to establish
the guilt of the defendants beyond n
reasonable doubt. The nub of the case,
Mr.. O'Brien said. was whether or not
the defendants had been identified as
| the men who robbed the power house
This had not been done, Mr.. O'Brien
| cOntended, and he proceeded at length
| to show where, in his Judgment, the
! Identification was not such as could
satisfy jury beyond reasonable doubt
! The burden of his argument was if the
| jury convicted it would be doing moth
| ing else than guessing four men into
the penitentiary. "Bill" Leach was re-
! ferred to as a butcher" who without
right or reason shot down three un-
offending men.

til she reached Providence.
For four days the Henderson, which

filled with ice. and the steward and
sailors were obliged to seek a refuge

able and il became necessary to lash
the wheel. For three days she was IN
this plight with the crew finding shell

under control and the course was laid
for Providence. The men OF the crew
saw that il will be many a day before
they forget the experience they went
through.
