.LUNETTA MAKES
PLEA Of non vULT
IN MURDER CASE
Was Charged with the MUIR
der Of William D.
Mahoney.

Charged with the murder of william
d. Mahoney. a clerk of 81 Fillmore
street. November 81 lest. Antonio
Lunetta. swarthy and under sized, was
placed on trial before Judge Ten Eyck
in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to-
day.
After the jury had been drawn a
conference was held between the pros
ecutor and the prisoners counsel and
plea of non ivult was accepted. This
means that Lunetta pleads guilty to
murder In the second degree and the
maximum penalty is thirty years.
1t took more than an hour to get the
twelve men in the box from the struck
jury that was selected several days
ago. George O. Reack, of 20 Elizabeth
avenue, an Insurance man, was finally
selected as foreman, and then his col
leagues were chosen as follows, after
Frank M. McDermit, counsel for the
man, and Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott,
representing the State, had put lot
of questions to them covering views as
to capital punishment:
Edward N. Todd, Leonard II. Van
derhoof, Paul Tiemer, Irving Taylor,
Henry c. Wells, Edwin C. Earle,
Charles Lawson, Laurence A. Norton.

and Oscar Marshall
Frederick II. Peterson. OF IS Mont
clair avenue, foreman in Tiffany s
works in the Forest. Hill section. one
of the Jurors called, was evidently
anxious to get away to business and
said he had important engagements.
He was examined by Mr.. McDermit
and Mr.. Mott as to whether he was op-
posed to capital punishment, or was
prejudiced against Italians as a class.
His answers were so contradictory and
vacillating that Judge Ten Eyck ex-
cused him with this caustic comment
I'VE don't want you on this jury. or
any other. A man that has no con-
victions is not fit to serve as a juror
After the jury had been drawn and
had been sworn there was q forty
minute conference between the prose
cutor and counsel for the defense
which included besides Frank NJ. Nc
Dermit, James r. McDermit and
James D'Aloia. the upshot of which
was that Lunetta was allowed to plead
non vult to murder in the second de-
gree The plea was taken by the
formal withdrawal of Juror No. 12,
which put the legal existence of the
Jury to an end. Then the Jurors were
thanked by the court for their patience
and Lunetta, heavily guarded by con-
stables, was returned to the county jail
to await sentence on some day to be
fixed.
Frank NJ. McDer1nit, at the close of
the conference, said to ths court;
