🏭 Coroner’s Jury Calls Scranton Factory Collapse “Unavoidable”
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · July 7, 1926 · Page 3

A coroner’s jury investigating the fatal Anthracite Overall factory collapse of June 24 has ruled the disaster “unavoidable.”

The collapse killed one young worker, Florence Lewis of Moosic, and injured fourteen others when the ceiling gave way above the factory floor. According to the jury, defects in the heavy timbers supporting the ceiling could not have been detected before the accident because they were hidden inside plastering and flooring.

Five witnesses were questioned before the verdict was submitted to Coroner D. J. Jenkins. Oliver S. Lutz, superintendent of the city Bureau of Building Inspection, said he had received no complaints about the building and that his last inspection there had been in 1923. R. B. Carling, supervising factory inspector for the State Department of Labor and Industry, said the accident had been classified in reports to Harrisburg as unavoidable.

Architect John Nelson said the building was faulty, but added that if the floor had been overloaded, it likely would have caused a noticeable sag. City fire inspector John Lynch said he inspected the building for fire hazards on May 20 and found conditions satisfactory. Charles Weir, a machinist at the plant, said he went to the attic twice a week but never noticed vibration or signs that the floor was overweighted with machinery.

Captain of Detectives A. J. Reilly presented pieces of the broken timbers as evidence.

🏭 Moosic Worker Killed, 14 Hurt in Scranton Overall Factory Collapse
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · June 25, 1926 · Pages 1 and 3

One young woman is dead and fourteen others are injured after the ceiling of the third floor of the Anthracite Overall Company factory at Penn Avenue and Mulberry Street collapsed yesterday afternoon.

Florence Lewis, 19, of Moosic, died after being pinned beneath a machine that was toppled by heavy falling timbers. She suffered a broken neck and fractured skull and died shortly after reaching State Hospital.

The collapse came at 4:35 p.m., less than an hour before the women were to end their workday. Eighty-four young women were seated at sewing machines when the ceiling gave way with what the paper described as a crash “as loud as a roar of thunder.”

Fourteen women were hurt, including Anna Rzuba, 20, of 420 Fourth Avenue, who jumped from the third floor to the roof of a one-story addition. Other injured workers included Stella Thomas, Nellie Pitero, Della Williams, Mary Lenahan, Julia Nohun, Madeline Cavish, Susanna and Helen Stoyak, Mamie Solomon, Rebecca Rubin, Celia Josephs, Jessie Michaels and Julia Smith.

Forelady Sadie McDonough, of 2727 Jackson Street, is credited with keeping order among the frightened workers and directing them to the fire escape. Patrolmen Jacob Dietrich and William Heller, along with male employees, helped keep several women from jumping through third-floor windows.

Police, firemen and city officials rushed to the scene. Authorities are now investigating whether the attic floor was overloaded, whether inspections had been made recently, and whether vibration from the machines may have contributed to the collapse.

The building is owned by the John Howley estate. The overall company is owned by Samuel and Harry Dickstein and Joseph M. Harris. The company says stock valued at $60,000 was inside the building.

🔫 Pittston Police Close In After Card Game Killing; Victim Is Buried Today
🗞️ The Evening News · July 6, 1926 · Page 9

Pittston and state police said they expected to capture Mike Vescottie, 35, of 8 Oak Street, at any moment after the fatal shooting of James Insalacco, 42, of Jenkins Alley.

The shooting happened Saturday night during a card game in the pool room of Paul Sumalidi at 161 South Main Street. Police said an argument broke out among the men, three shots were fired, and the card players fled through a side window onto Oak Street.

Insalacco, wounded in the chest, also made it through the window and ran as far as the Main Street corner before falling face first to the pavement. Patrolman Robert Grimes heard the shots, rushed to the scene, commandeered a passing automobile and sent the wounded man to the hospital, but Insalacco was dead when he reached the receiving ward.

Police said the upper end of the valley had been combed for Vescottie and believed he had not left the county. Insalacco’s funeral was held this afternoon from his home, with services at St. Rocco’s Italian Catholic Church and burial in St. Rocco’s Cemetery. He was survived by his widow and four children.

🍷 State Police Reportedly Probe Prohibition Agents’ Rough Tactics in Scranton
🗞️ The Scranton Times · July 6, 1926 - Scranton, Pennsylvania

State officials in Harrisburg would not confirm today whether state police had investigated the conduct of federal prohibition agents in Scranton and Lackawanna County. They said if any inquiry had been made, it would be up to Governor Pinchot to decide what to make public.

The Times, however, reported that a man named Dudendorf, connected with the state constabulary, spent much of last week in Scranton looking into the alleged rough-house tactics of the federal dry squad.

The reported inquiry centered on the agents’ visits to Zenke’s restaurant on Penn Avenue and the Diskin home in Minooka. Dudendorf was said to have spoken with Albert Zenke, restaurant employees, members of the Diskin family, James McGinnis and others.

According to the report, the state inquiry followed a resolution from the Scranton Central Labor Union, which denounced the conduct of the federal agents and called on Governor Pinchot to protect the rights of Scranton citizens.

🔎 Police Search Lake Lincoln After Boy’s Clothing Found in Brush
🗞️ The Scranton Times · July 6, 1926

Scranton police were investigating a possible drowning mystery after a complete outfit of boys’ clothing was found in the brush near Lake Lincoln last night.

The clothing, believed to fit a boy about seven years old, included trousers, shoes, stockings, a waist and a hat. Because it was found close to the lake, authorities feared a youngster might have drowned in Lake Lincoln or nearby Roaring Brook.

Bathhouse attendants searched the woods for several hours last night, and this morning guards spent hours dragging the lake. Police later scoured the woods around the park and walked along the banks of Roaring Brook.

As of 4 o’clock this afternoon, however, police had received no complaint of a missing child or any report of lost clothing.

🔥 Carbondale Man Found Dead on Burning Culm Bank Near Forest City
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · July 6, 1926 · Page 1

A mystery surrounded the death of Clarence Monroe, of Carbondale, whose badly burned body was found last night on a burning culm pile between Forest City and Browntown.

Two boys who had gone out to celebrate the Fourth of July noticed a dark object lying on the pile. The light from the burning sulphur made the figure visible, and when they approached, they discovered the remains of a man and quickly summoned help.

The body was burned almost beyond recognition, but a letter in Monroe’s pocket had escaped the flames. The letter was addressed to Frank Monroe, of 115 Bridge Street, Carbondale, who was contacted and identified the dead man as his brother. Monroe also had another brother, Roy, of Carbondale.

The paper says Clarence Monroe was a World War veteran and had only recently returned from New York State. Authorities had not yet solved how he came to be on the burning culm pile, though it was believed he may have been overcome by sulphur fumes before the flames reached his clothing. He was believed to have been dead about two days.

🏃 Taylor Runner Breaks Record at Lithuanian Day Outing
🗞️ Wilkes-Barre Record · July 6, 1926 · Page 5

Nearly 10,000 people attended the 13th annual Lithuanian outing at Valley View Park, where the day opened with an eight mile marathon from the Laurel Line station to the park.

Joseph Chapman of the Taylor Athletic Union broke the record for the event, finishing the eight miles in 35 minutes, one minute faster than the previous mark. A. Yanashusky of Edwardsville, representing the Knights of Lithuania, finished second in 37 minutes and received a special prize as the first Lithuanian runner to cross the line. Edward Schultz of Pittston finished third in 38 minutes.

The outing raised several thousand dollars for a fund being created by Lithuanians of the county to build an orphanage and home for Lithuanian children.

The day also included boxing exhibitions, a folk dance by little Florence Margelis of Miners Mills, and selections by the Freeland Lithuanian Church choir under Rev. Father Stryutskis.

🚂 Two Killed, Five Hurt in Swoyersville Grade Crossing Crash
🗞️ Wilkes-Barre Record · July 6, 1926 · Page 5

An outing ended in tragedy at Swoyersville last night when a Lehigh Valley locomotive, of the West Pittston branch, struck a large Chalmers touring car at the Hughes Street crossing.

The car was carrying eleven passengers from the Bernoski and Victor families. The group had been out during the day, stopped at the Bernoski home on Hughes Street, and was taking members of the Victor family back toward Edwardsville when the crash occurred.

Mrs. Mary Victor, 55, of 101 Summit Street, Edwardsville, was killed instantly. Anthony Bernoski, 45, of 409 Hughes Street, Swoyersville, was taken unconscious from the wreckage and died shortly afterward at Nesbitt West Side Hospital.

Five others were reported injured: Paul Victor, 58; Mrs. Anna Bernoski, 39, whose condition was serious; John Victor, 12; Helen Bernoski, 6; and William Bernoski, 8.

The paper says the automobile stalled on the tracks as the locomotive approached. Officials believed the driver, Joseph Bernoski, became confused while applying the brakes and stalled the engine on the grade crossing. The locomotive, with a caboose attached, was traveling south toward Luzerne and could not be stopped in time.

Neighbors and passing motorists rushed to help, using automobiles to take the injured to the hospital. Members of the train crew also assisted in the rescue.

🕳️Mine Cave Threatens St. Mary’s Church and Cemetery in Dunmore
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · July 5, 1926 · Page 5

St. Mary’s Church and cemetery in Dunmore were threatened Friday afternoon when a mine cave caused fissures to open in the earth through the church yard, cemetery and nearby streets.

The crevice through the church yard and cemetery was reported to be about three inches wide. The corners of the church library walls were broken, though no other damage to the church was immediately noticeable.

As the surface settled, a water main burst on Chestnut Street. Gas mains were not affected, but workmen from the Scranton Gas and Water Company quickly arrived and shut off the supply in case a break developed.

The fissures extended along Chestnut Street from Pine to Laurel, and from the church through the cemetery to Willow. Surface depressions were filled in, and one side of Chestnut Street was roped off for about 100 feet.

🔫 Pittston Police Search for Accused Killer After Pool Room Shooting
🗞️ Wilkes-Barre Record · July 5, 1926 · Page 9

Pittston police are still searching this morning for Michael Vescotti, of 8 Oak Street, after James Insalacco, 42, of Jenkins Alley, was fatally shot Saturday night in a pool room at Main and Oak streets.

The paper says Insalacco was playing cards when he was shot in the chest around 10 o’clock. After being wounded, he crawled through a window and stumbled onto Main Street, where he fell unconscious against the curb. Passersby called police, but he was dead before he could be taken to a hospital.

Dr. B. S. Androsky performed a post mortem and reported that the bullet entered Insalacco’s left chest, grazed the heart, passed through the liver and stomach, and exited through the back. A deep cut was also found on his head, as if made with a knife.

Police found a .32 caliber revolver with three empty shells in the pool room. The pool room proprietor, Paul Sinlidi, and his clerk, Sam Morria, of 116 Vine Street, were arrested after the shooting, gave police the names of those in the card game, and were then discharged.

Authorities are also looking at a possible connection to the killing of James Turko on Pine Street about a year ago. The paper says Insalacco was alleged to be a relative of Sam Insalacco, who fled after Turko’s killing and later surrendered to Pittston police.

🔥 Five Fires Keep Wilkes-Barre Firemen Busy on the Fourth
🗞️ Wilkes-Barre Record · July 5, 1926 · Page 18

Wilkes-Barre firemen were kept busy yesterday as Fourth of July celebrations brought five fire calls before midnight.

The most serious blaze was at the home of Joseph Goodstein, 314 East Northampton Street. The Goodstein family was away at Harvey’s Lake when neighbors saw smoke coming from the second floor about 2:10 in the afternoon. The fire started in a clothes closet and spread to the front room, causing several hundred dollars in damage before No. 4 fire department put it out with chemicals.

Other alarms came from a dump fire on Chestnut Street, a pile of railroad ties on Luzerne Street, and Frey Brothers’ leather store on North Main Street, where a firecracker landed on the awning. One fireman hoisted another up to the awning, and the blaze was brushed out with a hat, leaving a hole behind.

Late last night, companies 3 and 7 responded to American Stores Company at 689 Hazle Street, where a skyrocket had started a small roof fire. The damage there was slight. Peter Harkins is listed as owner of the building.

🇺🇸 Father Scranton Warns: Be Careful This Fourth
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · July 3, 1926 · Page 3

With the Fourth of July arriving tomorrow, The Scranton Republican is warning readers that the holiday can quickly turn from recreation into “wreckreation.”

The paper points back to last year’s toll in Scranton and vicinity, when three people were killed and twenty five were injured over the holiday. Two children were among the dead.

The warning blames reckless driving, speeding and the careless handling of fireworks for many of the injuries. Across the United States, the paper says 250 deaths were reported over the holiday last year.

🏥 No Deaths Reported in Scranton Over Holiday Weekend
🗞️ The Scranton Republican · July 5, 1926 · Page 3

Scranton’s Fourth of July weekend has passed without a recorded fatality, though hospital reports at midnight show about forty people injured in accidents across the area.

The paper reports that automobile crashes and fireworks accounted for about the same number of victims. Other mishaps sent the rest to local hospitals, and several of the injured are said to be in critical condition.

Many others narrowly escaped injury over the two day period. On the new highway through Minooka, five young men believed to be from Hughestown escaped serious harm when their automobile was practically destroyed in a wreck. One of them reportedly suffered a broken finger.

After Saturday’s warning from “Father Scranton” about last year’s Fourth of July toll, the city appears to have avoided a repeat of the 1925 fatalities, though the holiday still left a long list of injuries.
