peared from his home three years ago.
and whose wife and friends afterward
identified the body of man killed on the
railroad as his. has returned home. This

of this city, the national president of the
Catholic Slovak Union, of which Petro
was member and which paid to his
supposed widow a death claim of $1,000.
Kosack left for Baltimore to make an
investigation of the case and to decide
whether it was merely an honest case of
mistaken identity when his wife and
friends identified the body or whether it
was a plot to defraud the union.
The news that Petro was alive was sent
to President kosack by a member of the
union who lives in Baltimore and who
was startled this week to discover the
man, long thought dead, at his home.

February %. 1882, provides that five
trustees should constitute legal quorum
of the association.
1t seems probable that meetings OF
the organization were held up to 1882
and money collected After that year no
record can be found Of further transac-
tons of the body.
AS a means of inducing subscriptions
a photograph of the proposed monument

On the receipts appeared the signature

urer of the United States.
Just how much money was raised by
the association is not known. AS the
act of Congress provided that the cannon
should not be turned over to the associa-
ton until 100000 was raised and the
cannon were actually turned over to the

believed the amount collected must have

in One Case.
TAMPER WITH JURY PANEL

PHILADELPHIA. April 23.-That some

manic scandal IN Pittsburg have raised
large fund to uefeat the ends of jus
tice and that the present panel of jurors
from which will he chosen juries to hear
cases. is being tempered with were al
legations made to the state supreme
court today by District Attorney William
A. Blakely of Allegheny county IN fl
ing an answer to the petition of Max
G. Leslie, delinquent tax collector Of
Allegheny county, indicted in the scandal,
who wants a change of venue.
District Attorney Biakely, while he
does not admit that public opinion In
rittsburg would prevent Leslie getting a
fair trial. joins in the petition for a
change of venue for the opposite reason
that the commonwealth might be hamp-
cred there in securing a jury that would
impartially determine the cases.
Believes Fund Has Been Raised.
In the answer Mr.. Blakely informs the
supreme court that he had every reason
to uelieve that a large fund has been
raised on behalf of many persons I'M
plicated in graft and corruption charges.
which fund is being used to thwart Jus
tice. During the present week, his
answer continues, the halls and corridors
in the courthouse, as we'll as the pave
ments outside. were literally filed with
gamblers, jury fixers and persons whose
purpose 1t Is to influence the Jurors on
the present panel.
Continuing, the answer says that by
reason of the present jury system I'm AL
legheny county there are a number of
the thousands whose names are put In
the wheel who are not fit and proper per-
sons to try cases.
The criminal juries are largely made
up of undesirable residents of Plttsburs.
he said, persons dependent upon council
men for their living, as well as persons
controlled by men Of supposed political
power and influence. and who attempt
to assert such power by controlling the
deliberations and actions OF juries.
Wants Petition Granted.
For these reasons he asks that Lesffe'S
petition for a change OF venue be grant
ed, and that the case be removed from
Allegheny county. with the special re-
quest that no notice be given either to
the prosecution or the defense Of what
county the supreme court shall select
until within day or two of the time
fixed for trial. SO that they may be as
sured that no attempts can be made be-
forehand to influence the panel Of Jurors
before whom the case will be tried.
Leslie had obtained a rule on the dis
trict attorney to show cause why q
change of venue should not be granted,
and 1t was to this rule Mr.. Blakelsy
hled his answer.
