Father Victor Zarek, priest in charge of St. Michael’s Catholic church at Clarence, was in the county jail, charged with manslaughter. He had been brought to-this place between 1 and 2 o’clock that morning by constables W...B. Hall and George Lucas. : The story of the crime for which the man of the cloth was culpable under the law was circulated on the streets that day about as follows : i ' “Andrew Sofka was a young Hungarian about 16 years of age. He was the only support of a widowed mother and was em- ployed as & miner in the Sugar Camp mine. He was a member of Father Zarek’s church at Claience, but of late had not been at- tending Sunday school regularly. A week ago Sunday the priest thet the boy’s moth- er and asked her in regard to the matter. She said the boy refused to go aud she could not make him attend. On last Thursday morning it is reported that the priest saw the boy playing ball in a vacant lot near his residegoe and taking a broom handle called the boy to him and asked him why he did not go to Sunday school. The boy gave his reasons for staying away, bus they did not satisfy Father Zarek and he beat him severely. Sofka’s injuries were so severe that he died on Sunday afternoon shortly after dinner. Dr. R. J. Young was the attending physician and shortly befare the young man died he made a statement in which he alleged that the priest struck him thirty times over the head and shoulders and then kicked him in the intestines. Sunday afternoon a warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Father Zarek and if was placed in the hands of constable W. B. Hall who at once proceeded to the priest’s house hut the priest was not there. After searching the place he went to the residence of George Cachick, a Hun- garian, and there found his man. This was about 9 o’clock Sunday evening. He in company with George Lucas brought the priest to jail.”’ This story was based largely upon the boy’s aute-mortem statement and while the facts in general were true it became evident to every reasonable person that they must be greatly distorted, for where is the hoy who wonld count the lashes he was receiving while being chastised. This improbable statement, alone, even if Father Zarek bad not been known to be a man of many good qualities, wonld have militated against the first story of brutal inhumanity on his part. The result of the inquest that was beld Monday afternoon by coroner Huff disclosed the real faots in the case. Sofka was a bad boy and bad become so incorrigible that his mother eould do noth- ing with him, Whereupon she called on the priest to aid ber in his correction. The broom-stick with which he is supposed to -have been clubbed turned out to be noth- ing more than an ordinary switch such as was used in Father Zarek’s school at all times. Furthermore nota single mark or any other external evidence of abuse was found on the boy’s body. After holding a careful autopsy the coroner’s jury rendered a verdict to the effect that Sofka had came to his death from the effects of peritonitis brought about by appendicitis. Dr. Neff, of Snow Shoe, said that the boy bad had several attacks of the trouble to his knowledge. Ol course it is possible, though scarcely probable, that the peritonitis could have been caused by a blow in the abdominal region of the appendix, especially if there had been adhesious there at at the time it was received. AS TO THE ACCUSED MAN. While it is” not the iptention of the WATCHMAN to attempt a justification or defense of Father Zarek’s act we feel thas. all the particulars of the case. 2 He is a man of about 35 years of age and came to the vicinity of Clarence years ago. At that time that community was rampant with lawlessness and disorder. Being a foreigner himself and also able to speak many languages fluently he soon began to wield a powerful influence over the foreign miners who swarm that region. A great church was built and something like fourteen hundred souls were gathered into it. Sunday schools were organized and day and night schools both flourished under personal supervision of the young priest, whose energies seemed to know no tend in their labors for the good of his flock. ‘We recall several pleasing talks with him when be oatlined his ideals of what the foreign boys should be and the foremost of them was that he intended educating them to become ‘‘loyal, true Americans.’”’ He seemed to have a pecul- iar delight in helping them along and on another occasion when a train on which he was {o.get home was delayed in leaving this place he came to this office to telephone to some of his pupils who were being taught at night that they should wait for him, that he would surely get there in time to have part of their lessons. All of this is published,not to ereate sen- /timent for the priest, but merely to show that a man whose heart is evidently so good ought not to be condemned until he ia proven guilty of something. ‘It was only a week or more ago that he was buying balls and bats by the dozen in a Bellefonte store in order that ‘‘the poor boys’ of his parish might have scmething to play with. And for all anyone knows Sofka might have been playing with one of these gifts at the very time he was called to book for not hav- ing properly respected his mother’s wishes or his duties to the church. ’ it is due him that the public should know | HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS. On Thursday afternoon Father Zarek was brought into court on a habeas corpus proceeding brought by his counsel A. O. Furst, to show cause why he should not be released from the custody of the law. District Attorney Spangler opened the proceedings on bebalf of the Common- wealth and asked that the prisoner be re- leased from custody. He stated that the result of the coroner’s inquest and most careful investigation into the case had led him to believe that there was noshing for | which the young Priest could be indicted. Judge Furst then addressed the court on behalf of his clien$ ; stating that he de- sired to make a full and complete state- ment of the case in order that the public might know the truth and become cogni- zant of the great injustice that has been done to father Zarek. He stated that all of the five physicians who were present at the inquest were ready to testify that there was not an external evidence of mal-treat- ment to be found on the boy’s body, that death. had been due to appendioitis, that the boy’s mother bad requested Rev. Zarek to help her discipline him and that such action was in entire accord with the rules of their church. In conclusion he read the verdict of the coroner’s jury and asked for the dischargefof the priest. The court at once made a ruling releas- ing Father Zarek from the costody of the sheriff and in an instant the bar of the court bouse was converted into a reception hall. Friends crowded about him on.all sides, eager to congratulate him and assure him of their faith in his innocence. Quite a number of his fellow priests were waiting on the outside of the court honee and as soon as he appeared they joined him and retired to the parish house of the Catholic church on Bishop street, where the after- noon was spent. : Father Zarek returned to Clarence last evening. : It is said that there is an elemen* in the vicinity of Clarence who are antagonistic to the priest because his advent there has meant so many reforms and robbed them of a rich field of plunder hitherto found among the ignorant foreigners. oor ——Tomorrow night the Howe moving pictures will be the attraction at Garman’s.

We wouldn’t have thanked the Senior vlass of our times to have shown the philanthropy that the class of 1904 now are in erectinga olock in the cupola of the College, which clock shall mark time eo accurately and constantly as to preclude any discrepancy in watches, bells, etc. The clock will have four six foot dials and is costing the class eight hundred dollars, exclusive of the car- pentry work given by tbe college, which will make the total cost about one thousand dollars. . On Tuesday the executive members of the board of trustees of the college selected the site for the new building planned to ac- commodate at meals nine hundred stu- dents. It will be onaline and east of the main building and about opposite the physics and chemistry laboratory. The minstrel show which is becoming an annual feature in the entertainments at the college, will be given in the old chapel, Friday evening, May 6th. : with a DIED.—Mrs. Rebekah Thomas Burnside, wife of the late Thomas Burnside, at her home on Cartin street, Thursd ay, April 28th, aged 81 years, 9 months and 14 days. “Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of far ewell When I embark. For tho’ from out our bourne of time ‘and place The flood may bear me far, 1 hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.” Full of years, surrounded by most loving and devoted children, the closing of Mrs. Burnside’s life was peaceful and bappy as ever Tennyson hoped for himself in ‘‘Cross- ing the Bar!” To ome who has lived eighty-one years death seems “But as a tide that — —— Turns again home.” To say that ope has lived eighty-one abund- ant years seems to declare the success of a life, for as Drummond expresses it *‘The best test of life is living.”” The word abund- ant seems especially applicable to Mrs, Burnside’s life, as its pleasures were not al- ways nnmixed with sorrows, its comforts not without cares "and its many years gpanned more radical experiences than we, of a later generation, oan imagine. Born in the family of a country doctor, rich in ancestors and pretty daughters, she had all the pleasures then incident to such surroundings and while the ideal, healthy, unselfish, beautiful country home-life of the early nineteenth century is but hearsay to most of us it was real experience to Mrs. Burnside and doubtless laid the foundation for the kind, affectionate charitable disposition, which combined with a characteristic wit and humor, made ber the lovely woman with hosts of friends, whose companionship aud hospitable home we all so mush enjoyed. She appreciated the fact that to be kind is to be remember- ed in all the coming years! If, as is said, one’s generation is declared by the general bent of the life and actions it is almost un- necessary to say that Mrs. Burnside came of a people honourable, honest, esteemed. Her grand-father Dr. John Purdue, was one of the notable men of this community in the early days of the century. Her maiden name was Rebekah Thomas, a daughter of Rev. George and Sara Purdue Thomas and she was horn near Beliefonte July 13th, 1823. On Oct. 11th, 1854, she was married to Thomas Burnside, Jr., a son of the Hon. Thomas Burnside, their wed- ding baving been celebrated at the old mountain home which was then a veritable mecca for the society of the entire county and i8 yet maintained in the family name. Mr. Burnside was for many years a promi- nent business man of this place. He died at Ironton, Mo., Nov. 7th, 1884, being at the time in charge of the general land office at that place for the United States govern- ment. > Their surviving children are William, Mrs. Harry C. Valentine and Edgar T., of this place. Thomas, S. Cameron and Geo. T., died some years ago. Mrs. Burnside’s brother, Col. Geo. W. Thomas, also sur- vives. The passing of Mrs. Burnside means the loss of another of the generation that gave our town the indefinable atmosphere— charm, culture, hospitality or whatever it is—for which it has always been pre-emi- rent. -It means more than that to many, as it is the loss of a devoted mother, a stannch and loved friend, a very gracious and de- sirous to-be-tried hostess and will mark the passing of a heme that has many years been a most pleasant and important factor in the social life and history of Bellefonte. Funeral services will be conducted at her late home on Curtin street Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the Rev. George Israel Brown, rector of St. John’s Episcopal church, of which she was a member. JOHN CARRIGAN.—Yesterday morning John Carrigan, possibly the best known character about State College, passed away, from the effects of tuberculosis, superin- duced by an attack of erysipelas he suffer- ed about three weeks ago. | a Deceased was about 68 years old and is survivedb y hiz widow and the following children: Arthur, John, Paul, James, Daniel and Edith.
