| GREEN AND DILLEN ON TRIAL. |
Case Called Yesterday Afternoon. Indicted for First Degree
Murder.
Ira Green and William Dillon, two of the
Centre county jail-breakers, were put on
trial for their life before Judge Love juss a
few hours hefore the WATCHMAN wens to
press last eveningand too late to give even
a partial report of the trial in this issue.
When District Attorney Spangler presented
the bills of indictment to the grand jury |
that body acted promptly. As stated else- |
where, the bills against George Henderson °
and Dominic Constance were ignored so far |
as being implicated in the killing of turn- i
key Jerry Condo was concerned, but in the
case of Green and Dillon #rue bills of mur- |
der iu the first degree were returned, and ,
they alone will have to answer for the
killing.
The case, though not likely to be a long
one, will be ‘one of the most interesting
tried in the criminal courts of Centre coun-
ty in years. Quite an array of legal talent
is engaged in the battle for the lives or
liberty of the two men. District Attorney
N. B. Spangler is being assisted by Col. E.
R. Chambers and Ellis L. Orvis, while H.
C. Quigley is general counsel for the de-
fense of both men. Clement Dale, Esq.,
is assisting in the defense of Green and ex-
Judge A. O. Furst is employed in assisting
in the defense of Dillon. Sheriff H. S.
Taylor appears as prosecutor in the case.
The true bills of indictment against
Green and Dillon were returned Tuesday
morning, when the struggle began. Attor-
neys Quigley and Furst, Tuesday afternoon
presented a petition to the court asking for
Constance
| a continuance of the case until the Novem-
ber term of court on the grounds of not
‘having sufficient time to prepare the case
for trial and because of the undoubted
prejudice now existing between the prison-
ers. Judge Love heard argument on both
sides and Wednesday morning over-ruled
the petition and named Thursday morning
‘as the time for the beginning of the trial.
Shortly afterwards the attorneys for the de-
fense gave notice of taking out an appeal to
the supreme court to compel the lower
court to grant a continuance. An elabor-
ate petition was prepared ard Wednesday
afternoon H. C. Quigley ‘went to Hollidays-
burg and presented his appeal to Supreme
court Justice Dean, supporting his position
with a more exhaustive argument. E. R.
Chambers also appeared before Judge Dean
and argued against the granting of the pe-
tition. After hearing both sides the Judge
declined to interfere and, the attorneys for
the defense, having exbausted every means
at their disposal to secure a continnance of
the case were compelled to bow to the inev-
itable, and the case was called yesterday
afternoon.

DOMINIC CONSTANCE CONVICTED OF AR-
SON.
The case of the Commonwealth against
Dominic Constance, the Italian, for arson,
was called for trial Tuesday afternoon and
occupied the time of the court until Wed-
nesday noon. Col. Wilbur F. Reeder as-
sisted District Attorney N. B. Spangler in
the prosecution, while Constance was de-
fended by H. C. Quigley and W. Harrison
Walker. The prosecutor in this case was
David Rothrock, of Benner township.
whose house was set on fire on the night of
June 12th, and who swore out the infor-
‘mation charging Constance with having
started the fire. The incidents leading up
to this occasion—the arrest and conviction
of the Italian less than a year ago on the
alleged charge of shooting at Mr. Rothrock
—bave all been printed in previous issnes
of the WATCHMAN and are too well-known
to need reprinting at this time. ;
In the present trial the Commonwealth
submitted the evidence of Mr. Rothrock,
who testified to the fire having occurred on
the night of June 12th, when with diffi-
cnlty the house was saved from destruc-
tion; that Constance was thoroughly ac-
quainted with the surroundings as well as
the interior of the summer kitchen; that
the fire bad evidently been started on top
or underneath a lounge in the kitchen
which had previously heen saturated with
kerosene; that the morning after the fire he
found tracks leading to and from the house
in the direction of the limekilns where
Constance lived; that later he accompanied
J. W. Rightnour when the latter measured
the tracks with a pair of shoes, which fit
them perfectly and which, he was inform-
ed, Dominio had worn the night Previously.
Mr. John W. Grove testified to having dis-
covered the fire while on his way home
from she limekilns, where he had been to
telephone for a dootor. J. W. Rightnour tes-
tified to the finding of the shoes and fitting
them into the tracks and to the arrest of
Constance. This was the balk of the evi-
dence against tMp Italian. The. defense
submitted the evidence of a number of
Italians from tbe quarries that Dominic bad
not been ous of the shanty all night and
that the shoes offered in evidence were not
his but his sisters. (They were a pair of
woman’s shoes.) Bus the strongest point
made by the defense was when they asked
Constance to try on the shoes and he could
not get them on. Believing him to he
shamming the Commonwealth had A. C.
Mingle called to measure the foot of Con-
stance and also the pair of shoes, who, af-
ter taking the ‘measurements, stated thas
the Italian could put on the shoes, though
be admitted that they wonld be a close fit.
The evidence closed at 10:30 Wednesday
morning. W. Harrison Walker sammed
up the case for the defense and Col. Wilbur
F. Reeder made the plea for the Common-
wealth. The jury was out only twenty
minutes when they returred with a verdict
of guilty. :
THE CASE AGAINST DR. YOUNG.
The case of the Commonwealth against
Dr. R. J. Young, of Clarence, ocoupied the
attention of the court all of Wednesday.
It was tried before Judge Bell, of Blair
county. The attorney for the prosecution
was ex-Judge A. O. Furst while Col. W.
Convicted of Arson.
F. Reeder and J. A, B. Miller were counsel
for the defense. Rev. Father Victor Zarek,
the Polish priest at Clarence was the prose-
outor in the case, which grew ous of she
occurrence a couple months ago when
- Father Zarek was arrested on information
sworn out by Dr. Young charging him with
having caused the death of a Polish boy,
Andrew Sofka, by beating. At a habeas
corpus hearing Father Zarek was acquitted
and the present case against Dr. Young
was for perjary and false arrest. Consid-
erable testimony was heard on both sides
when, at 10 o'clock Thursday morning
Judge Bell put an end to the case by tak-
ing iv ous of the hands of the jury,declaring
there was no evidence on which Dr. Young
conld be convicted, though he sympathized
with Father Zarek in his desire for a most
complete vindication from even any im-
putation on his character. Dr. Young wa
discharged and the costs pat on the county

ants resisted, overpowered the police, and

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY,
To the Honorable Jno. G. Love, P. J. of
the Court of Quarter Sessions of Centre Co.
* The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, inquiring in and for the
County of Centre in all matters relating to’
the same do respectfully report: That they
have acted upon 32 bills of indictment, of.
which 24 were found true bills and ignored.
We beg leave further to report that we have
visited and inspected the county buildings
and find the jail kept in a clean and orderly
condition. e found the cells in the jail
very well kept, but we recommend that the
hinges on the steel cells No. 7 and 8 be plac-
ed on the outside of the cells. We mean that
they should fasten to the doors and walls
outside instead of inside. We further report,
that the floors in the jail are showing con-
siderable wear and weakening in places and"
would respectfully call the attention of the
County Commissioners or proper officers to.
look into this matter. We would further
recommend that the small. openings and
crevices about the windews and grating in’
the steel cells No. 7 and 8 be closed so that
occupants of these cells will be unable to.
crete matter that way be secretly given
them. We farther recommend that replas-’
tering of the jail walls around the yard in.‘
side. We find the landing at the rear en-
trance to the court room in bad condition.
We thank the Honorable Court and Dis-
trict Attorney for courtesies shown us dur-
ing our sitting. :

Eris ETTERS FOUND DEAD.—On Sun-,
day morning about 9 o'clock, the dead
body of Ellis Etters, . a : brother of Prof.
David O. Esters, of this place,’ was’ found
lying close alongside she tracks of the
Beech Creek railroad, near Buttermilk
Falls; on the North branch. The news of
the finding of the body soon spread and
caused considerable excitement at Cataract,
owing to the fact that there was no defi-
nite knowledge how the man met his
death, and many jumped to the conclusion
that he had been murdered. This theory
may yet prove ‘correct, though it is gener.
ally believed that in attempting to cross
the railroad tracks Mr. Etters was struck
by an engine and killed. The only marks
on the body are two deep bruises on the
bead, but nothing to show that there had
been a struggle for life in a personal con-
flict. :
Esters, who has followed lumbering all
bis life, was operating & job near Pine
Glenn. He worked all day Saturday
in the woods. Saturday night he was at
Cataract and about 9 o'clock left the
Cataract hotel to go to his home, which is
just across the river. To cross the river
Mr. Etters always used a row-boat and’
the last seen of him alive was when he got
into his boat Saturday evening and started
to row across the river. Next morning
his lifeless body was found almost wishin
sight of his home. The murder theory
gained some credence from the fact that
Etters invariably carried considerable
low rates:
(money and it was thought at first that
Mr. Etters’ death may have been she re-
sult of a daring bold-up and robbery, but
grounds for
such suspicions. : : :
Ellis Etters wasa son of Peter Etters,
and was born at’ Buffalo ‘Rub 'filty-five
yearsago. He was always an industrions,
bard-working man. He is survived by a
| wife and six children, and the following
brothers and sisters : Prof. David O.
| Etters, of Bellefonte ; William, of Oregon ;
Reuben, of Pine Glenn ; Mrs. Maggie J.
Boyer, of Michigan, and a half-sister, Mrs.
Claude B. Thompson, of Bellefonte. The
funeral was held Tuesday morning, inter-
ment being made in the Advent cemetery,
at Pine Glenn, of which church deceased

A RHODE ISLAND CLAM BAKE.—One of
the novel pleasures denied to us inland
people and which alone is well worth a
trip to the sea shore is a clam bake. Wheth-
er it be simply clams baked as the Long
Island Indians used $0 or the more elaborate
menu of the Rhode Island Indians depends
much upon the part of the coast visited,
but apart from the variety of foods used
the process is much the syme in both
celebrations. . A large hollowed ous place
in the sand is filled ‘with a bed of stones
flat oo top and upon whicha huge fire of
bard wood logs is made that burns until the
stones areall at a 1ed heat and there isa
big bed of glowing coals. When the coals
are raked over and properly prepared, a
layer of damp sea weed is laid over them
and upon this steaming bed are laid sweet
and Irish potatoes, bushels of clams,
lobsters, crabs, fish stuffed and wrapped as
for baking, corn in the husks, brown bread
in cans, the whole covered with heavy
paper then with another layer of damp sea
weed and left to steam for several hours.
Perhaps it is that the salt breeze gives
keenness to the appetite or that the very
picturesqueness of the feast prepared with-
in reach of the lapping waves and presided
over by a typical ‘‘old salt,” expert enough’
in this to be famous, pleases, but never can
a more delicions bite he served or more
heartily indulged in. Generosity or better
extravagance is one of the necessary ac-
companiments to a successful clam bake for
after each guest has disposed of dozens of
clams, a lobster, clam, perhaps a dozen ears
of corn and everything else in gigantic pro-
portions, there will be left remains so
abundaut as to remind one of that bible
feast where there were twelve baskets full
of fragments. 2 B04
