-SAYS HE WILL ROOT OUT SPEAKEASIES-
FIRST ARRESTS UNDER THE NEW ORDINANCE
Four Men and a Woman Were Taken Into Custody and at Hearings Yesterday
Had Fines of $50 and $75 Imposed Upon Them by Mayor Moir Testimony That
Was Offered in the Cases Mayor Well Satisfied with the First Days Work
Other Arrests to Follow.
"We are In earnest, about exterminating this speakeasy evil, and will
not rest until we have cleared the city of them," remarked Mayor Moir
to a Tribune man yesterday, and the record of the day was strong
testimony to the truth of his assertion. Five proprietors of tippling
houses were arrested and all fined heavily.
Frank Rasselawski, of River street, Mrs. Bridget Ruane, of 324 Larch
street, and John Dubee, of Fourth street, were each fined $50, with the
alternative of spending thirty days in the county Jail. Stephen
Flanagan, of 1710 Luzerne street, was fined $73, and In the case of
Edward Bush, of 113 Seventh street, sentence was postponed until 3
o'clock Monday, August 20.
Rush's attorney, ex-Judge Knapp, went before Mayor Moir and told him
that an application for a license to be granted Rush has already been
filed until ho secures it, his place will be closed.
The arrested parties were all given their hearings yesterday afternoon,
with the exception or Rasselawskl, who was arrested by Special Officer
Greenburger in the morning, and arraigned before Mayor Moir. Several
persons testified to having purchased intoxicating liquors in his
place, and Mayor Moir then imposed a $50 fine.
GIVEN HEARINGS
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Ruane, Flanagan and Dubee were given
their hearings. Flanagan denied ever having sold any beer or liquor of
any sort in his store, nnd loudly protested his innocence. Officer
Greenburger was the first witness. He testified to having been in the
place August 9, and while there took a drink with a friend. Flanagan,
when he heard this evidence, carefully looked Greenburger over, and
then floriated that ho never saw him in his life.
Charles Anderson testified that he was in Flanagan's establishment with
Greenburger, and while there had a drink of beer. Mayor Moir then
mildly remarked to Flanagan that he would be compelled to pay $75 into
the city treasury.
Flanagan smiled genially and started for the door, only to be recalled
by Chief Robling telling him that he would have to pay his fine first.
"What," exclaimed Flanagan indignantly, "not oven ten days' grace?"
"Not a day," answered the Chief. "Well, I'll take an appeal, then,"
said Flanagan. "All right," said Mayor Moir, "but first you will have
to pay your fine."
For Mayor Moir has found that while in these cases the accused speak
easy keepers can take an appeal, they must first pay their fines. Then,
if the decision of the Mayor's court is
reversed, the money is, of course, refunded.
MRS. RUANE'S CASE
In the case of Mrs. Ruane, John Bryant, of New York Street, and Mrs.
Brace, of Larch Street, were two of the witnesses called, and testified
to having purchased beer and whiskey in Mrs. Ruane's house on Sunday
and week-days. Mrs. Ruane, through her
counsel, asked that the minimum penalty be imposed, but Mayor Moir said
that a very large number of complaints had been received about her
establishment, and ns it was considered to be the source of a great
deal of trouble in that part of the city, he could not dismiss the case
without fining her at least $50.
H. Oram, of South Washington Avenue; Mrs. Annie Cashimir, of 422 Emmet
Street and Jacob Ellman all testified to having bought beer at John
Dubee's place on Fourth Street, near Emmet, and declared that a regular
bar was fitted up. Dubee and Mrs. Ruane, also, have both taken out
internal revenue licenses. Dubee, at the end of the testimony, was
asked what he had to say for himself, but merely hung his head, and
declared that he
was sorry.
Mayor Moir declared after the hearing that he was very well satisfied
with the result of the day's work, and added: "there will probably be
more arrests today. Warrants have been issued, and will be served. The
assistance of the regular patrolmen will not be asked in this matter,
as I think they have enough to do, as it is. They are, of course,
expected to report all speakeasies which they discover, but constables
and special officers will have charge of the serving of the warrants,"

HE MADE UP FOR IT
Judge Knapp Experiences the Discomfiture of Knocking Out a Good
Republican Vote, But He Gets Even.
The laugh was on Judge Knapp yesterday in the Dunmore contest
when after knocking out the vote of Charles Maddox, of the Second
District of the Third ward, he learned from the man’s own admission
that he had voted the straight Republican ticket. Judge Knapp laughed
last, however, and true to the proverb, laughed best, for, before the
day was over, he made up for the Maddox misfortune and had nine to
spare.
William Manley; Martin Ruane and Stephen Ryan, of the First district of
the Third ward; Edward Matthews, of the Second District of the Third
ward, and Martin McHale, of the First district of the Second ward, were
disqualified for non-payment of taxes.
James Ruane, Michael Swoons and John Tighe of the First district of the
Third ward, and James Langan and John Murray, of the Second district of
the Third ward, were shown to be non-citizens.
In the case of James Ruane, Michael Sweeney and John Murray the
allegation was that they had not paid taxes, it developed that they had
paid taxes but were never naturalized. It is contended by the
respondents that their votes will stand as they were not at tacked on
the ground, of being non citizens. Other witnesses examined were
Patrick Reilly, John Ryan, Patrick Scanlon, Patrick Ruane, Thomas
Ruane, John Ryan, Patrick Wynn, James
Wynn, John Ward and Michael Golden, of the First district of the Third
ward, and Patrick Collins, Patrick Collins, Jr., William Crane, Michael

The main court room had the majority of spectator’s yesterday
afternoon. The attraction was the case of Luther Poster against James
Ruane, in which the defendant was charged with assault and battery on
the plaintiff's eighteen-year-old daughter. The parties live in the
Bunker Hill district of Dunmore. Ruane is a rather natty looking youth
and Miss Foster is a very pretty miss. They were at a picnic, July 5,
last, in Laurel Hill Park and returned home together. More than a month
later the girl's father had young Ruane arrested for assault and
battery. The alleged crime was committed during the walk home.
Ruane said he only held her hand and drew her gently to his aide. She
says he caught her hand and forcibly pulled her to the ground. She
admits that this was the extent of his assault and also that ho made no
improper advances. Mr. Duggan, attorney for the
defense, told the Jury that his client had done nothing more than what
every man In the box had often done In his younger days hugged the girl
ho was taking home from a picnic. Mr. Chase assisted District Attorney
Jones in the prosecution. The Jury was not
in at adjournment.

STORIES OF EYE WITNESSES
EVENTS THAT PRECEDED THE KILLING OF KING
It Is Agreed by All Those Present That Davis Had Taken' Some Drink and
Sought Trouble with King but There Is a Wide Variance as to the Nature
of the Events That Immediately Preceded the Shooting of King by the
Accused.
Patrick Sullivan, of Minooka, tells a very comprehensive story of the
trouble which occurred In his place early Sunday morning und which
resulted In the killing of Peter King by Michael Davis, a police
officer of Moosic Borough, Sullivan says It was sometime after midnight
when Davis and his chum, Constable Harvey Decker, of Moosic, came In.
King was at this time talking to him (Sullivan) at the end of the
bar. Davis came over to them and began talking about King having
refused to obey a subpoena which Davis had served on him some few weeks
previous. Davis talked in a bragging tone and King responded In a quiet
way: "You know, Davis, you couldn't
take me alone." Davis replied, "Yes I could. I could take you to hell."
Sullivan got them to end their argument, and just then Dan Cotter broke
forth in a song. When the song was finished, Davis laid his hand on the
arm of Decker and addressing himself generally, but looking at King
said:
'"I his man here is ns good an Irishman as there Is in this house, and
I'll stand at hi- back."
The crowd evidently took this as a challenge from Davis to King and as
Davis had been tantalizing King, it was felt that he would take it up.
A young man named John Ruane stepped in front of King as if to
intercept him if he started for Davis. King pushed
him aside and told him to mind his own business.
At this Davis turned on King with a torrent of abuse for his treatment
of Ruane. He called it a "rotten trick," and referred to King as a "big
brute" and "a pig." Still King held his peace.
Ten or fifteen minutes went by and during tills time Davis kept up a
fusillade of abuse of King referring to him several times in a most
insulting way. King did not pay much heed to him but once In a while
would retort in a bantering tone, "Davis, you know you're no good," or
something to that effect
Finally Davis' abuse nettled King and he warned him to cease. Davis
flared up quickly and said: "I'll kill you, you," and backed up in a.
corner. King followed him with the index finger of his right hand
extended as when one wishes to emphasize by a gesture. "Now, see here,
Davis "King was saying, when Davis whipped out a revolver from the
right hand pocket of his coat, and fired. The bullet went over King's
head and lodged
in the ceiling. Davis did not aim at King at the first shot.
At the report of the pistol King;, who was only four feet away, sprang
at Davis clutching his throat with the right hand and grasping at the
pistol with the left. Ho evidently did not get a. good grasp on the
pistol hand, for Davis succeeded in twisting the hand about so that the
muzzle of the pistol was against King's body. Constable Decker was also
clutching at Davis' arm, but could not get at the pistol. That he got
near it though was evidenced by the fact that his coat sleeve was
burned by the powder. Several -others of the crowd jumped in to take a
hand and- were striving to overpower Davis.
OTHER SHOTS FIRED.
Only a few moments elapsed after the 1st ring
of the first shot, before four more shots were heard. Three of them
entered King's body. The revolver was held so close to him that the
powder burned the flesh. When King fell, the whole crowd fell with him
in a heap.
Sullivan says that Davis was not drunk and that King at no time showed
any anger. This version of the trouble is endorsed by Patrick Loftus
and Thomas Sullivan who were also present. Gustave Dietrich another
eye-witness told that he came down from Scranton on the same train ns
Davis and Decker, but did not see them until they all got off at the
Minooka station. Ho and Davis and Decker had some drinks together In
Judge's saloon
and Dietrich went on up to Sullivan's leaving the other two in Judge's.
He was in Sullivan's when Davis and Picker came in. The first
disturbance the witness noticed was when Cotter finished his song and
Davis declared his friend Decker to be as good an
Irishman as there was in the place.
At this King jumped at Decker, but the crowd held him back and pacified
him. Shortly afterwards, Davis made some remark to King, whereupon King
made a move as to hit him. John Ruane stepped in between them and King
hit Ruane on the forehead knocking
him down. Davis expostulated with King for striking a boy, whereupon
King again rushed at him. Again a bystander held him hack, 'in the
quarreling that followed Davis
called King a "and a big brute," At this King followed Davis and Davis
drew his revolver and fired over King's head. King and Cotter grabbed
a: Davis and King caught him by the throat. Then Davis fired' four more
shots and King fell.

MRS. BARBARA ROBINSON CAPTURED AT LAST
She Is Charged by Her Husband with Bigamy
Six weeks ago warrants were issued by Alderman Ruddy for the
arrest of Mrs. Barbara Robinson and Frank Rooney, both of No. 5
mountain, on the charges of bigamy, preferred by Frank Robinson, the
husband of the woman. In the Information lodged
with the magistrate it is stated that Rooney and Mrs. Robinson eloped
and were married. They returned to Rooney's home and have been living
there since. Detectives and special officers made trips to the
mountain, but the alleged bigamists could not be apprehended.
Special Officer James Ruane, a recent acquisition to Alderman Ruddy's
court, went to Rooney's home at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. He laid in
ambush until 6 o'clock, when Mrs. Robinson-Rooney appeared in the yard.
The officer approached her and asked
for his breakfast. He was invited to the house, and, the meal being
over, he questioned the woman as to the whereabouts of her second
husband. She told him that Rooney had left at 2 o'clock In the morning
and, in a confidential way, told the officer that he was eluding
arrest, hence his reason for going to work so early. She refused to
state where he was employed. The warrant for her arrest was then read
to her. She was taken before the
alderman and held in $300 ball, which was furnished late last night.
Special Officer Ruane left at midnight to meet Rooney this morning.
Robinson, the injured husband, stated at the hearing that he will
.prosecute the pair as far as he can.

SMALL-POX CASES AGAIN
Six Victims in One Family Who Were Not Reported
Dr. Houser, who has charge of the small-pox cases In the city, learned
yesterday that six victims In the family of Patrick Ruane, on Bloom
Avenue, have been at large for some time unknown to the authorities.
The family has been in needy circumstances owing to the coal strike,
and when the disease made its appearance among them no physician was
called, on account of the expense that would be incurred. The father
became seriously ill on Thursday night and Dr. Hollister was called, he
diagnosed the case as small pox, and notified Dr. Houser, who
quarantined the house and placed an officer on guard. The man was
removed
to the Emergency hospital yesterday in a precarious condition.
The other victims have a milder form of the disease, but require
medical attention, and It may yet be necessary to remove some of them
to the hospital. Some of the children have been seen about the streets
with the rash plainly visible in their faces.
The mother and one child are the only members of the family who have
escaped the disease. They both were vaccinated. All of the others had
not been inoculated up to the time the cases were reported.
