IRA GREEN AND WILLIAM DILLEN
SENTENCED T0 BE HUNG—BoTH HEARD
THE AWFUL WoRDS UNMOVED.—For the
murder of jail turn-key Jerry I. Condo,
and for which a first degree verdict was
rendered against them at the August term
of court, Ira Green and William Dillen
were, on Monday, sentenced by Judge
Love to be hung. Court was convened at
10 o’clock and the court room was filled
with a crowd of curious people anxious to
hear the death penalty pronounced. The
prisoners were brought in by deputy sheriff
Harry J. Jackson and special policeman
George Everhart. They still exhibited the
same demeanor of bravado so characteristic
of the two after their arrest and during
most of their trial. Even when the awfal
words of death were pronounced by the
Court there was no noticeable quailing on
the part of either man. On the contrary,
when Green resumed his seat in the chair,
there was just the slightest trace of a con-
temptuous smile on his face. Dillen’s
countenance was as impassive as ever, but
his brother, who sat right behind him was
visibly affected. The court session was a
very brief one.
Judge Love asked the prisoners if they
bad anything to say before sentence should
be passed azd their coansel, Judge A. O.
Furst, responded in their behalf as fol-
lows :
‘‘May it please the Court, whatever is
said the prisoners desire me to speak for
them. Under the circumstances of the
case, I know that nothing that the prison-
ers, or counsel for them, can or may say
can change at this time the inevitable re-
sult of the law and, therefore, there are
only two or three things that would be ap-
propriate to say under circumstances of
this kind.
‘They bave, all the way through, ad-
hered to the one thought; not denying the
lamen table death of Mr. Condo, they have
said and testified on the witness stand that
their intent was solely to effect an escape,
not to kill. No intent to take life existed
in their minds. This, of course, is the dis-
tinguishing criterion of murder in the first
degree from murder in the second. That
defence was presented in their trial as well
as it could be presented, without having a
favorable opportunity to obtain witnesses
such as they might have bad, owing to
their good character.
‘I further feel it my duty, speaking for
the prisoners, to say that they feel that
_their case was tried under a very great ex-
citement of the public mind, with prej-
udice all against them; that they did nos
have and they do not today feel that they
have had a fair and impartial trial before
the court and jury.
‘“These are the only points that would
be appropriate now to refer to, except the
farther fact that they deplore the death of
Mr. Condo just as much perhaps as anyone
can. They deplore their own situation.
They know that, in the state of this rec-
ord, while perhaps the case has not finally
passed beyond the jurisdiction of this conrt
to correct error, nevertheless it would be
unusual for the court to stay its hand at
this stage of the record and, therefore, they
submit themselves to the court and to the
law.”
Judge Love then requested Ira Green to
stand up and pronounced sentence upon
him as follows :
“We are about to perform one of the
most painful and probably trying duties
that devolves upon either a court or an in-
dividual.
‘‘After careful consideration of all the
case, we cannot help but believe that you
have had a fair trial. When any doubtful
point came up in our mind during the
trial, we gave the prisoners the benefit of
it in our ruling. You were very ably de-
fended and, from all the evidence and the
character of the assault made, we were not
persuaded that we either had committed
any error or that the evidence would not
warrant the verdict, ro it becomes our duty
simply to impose the penalty provided by
law, your counsel having spoken for you.
‘‘As we are about to perform this duty
will the people in the court house arise.
(Audience stands up.)
“The sentence of the law, therefore,
which we impose is that you, Ira Green,
prisoner at the bar, be taken from hence to
the jail of Centre county, from whence you
came, and from thence to the place of ex-
ecution within the walls of the said jail,
the time thereof to be fixed as provided by
law, and that you there be hanged by the
neck until dead. May you be able to make
peace with your God and may He have
meroy on your soul.”
“William Dillen, will you stand up.
*‘It is not necessary for us to repeat what
we said to Mr. Green prior to the imposi-
tion of the sentence as it applies to your
case as well and there is nothing left for
us to do but to impose the sentence pro-
vided by law, which we will now impose.
“The sentence of the Court is, according
to law, that you, William Dillen, prisoner
at the bar, be taken from hence to the jail
of Centre county, from whence you came,
and from thence to the place of execution
within the walls of said jail, the time
thereof to be fixed as provided by law, and
that you there be hanged by the neck until
dead. May you be able to make peace
with your God and may He have mercy on
your soul.”
Counsel for the prisoners at once took
out a writ of appeal to the Supreme coart.

—Charles Noll, of Clearfield, who seems to stay
away from Bellefonte as if he didn’t know any-
body here, was in town during the week. We'll
make the young man step after Dad goes to the
Legislature,
—Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Harris, of Coatsville,
friends of Mrs. Annie Caswell, spent Sunday in

—Col. Ed. Irvin and the Hon. A. O., Furst
called at the WarcaMAN office Wednesday morn-
ing. Of course t hey made it appear as if the call

—General James A. Beaver was in Washington
one day last week and while there called on
President Roosevelt and invited him to visit
State College next springat a time to be !fixed
when something more than usual is going on.

College at heart and never lets an cpportunity
pass by wherein he may speak a good word for it.
—Mrs. Anna M. Woodcock, of Scranton, is
making her annual visit to friends in Bellefonte;
though this year many of them are disappointed
because she has only two weeks to stay and has
decided to take a few days out of them for a trip
to Hollidaysburg. Mrs. Woodcock’s enthusiasm
and admiration for everthing Bellefonte has not
abated a bit as a result of her life in Scranton,
where Dr. Lee is meeting with so much success
in his profession.
STUDENTS’ EXCURSION TO STATE COL-
LEGE.—Saturday afternoon the Bellefonte
Academy football team will play the State
College scrub team, on Beaver field at
State College. The game will withont
doubt be a very interesting contest as the
Academy team is playing great football and
the College scrubs are a good second to the
‘Varsity. Lass year the Academy defeated
the sorubs and because of this tomorrow’s
game should be a very exciting one.
In order to enable all Academy teachers
and students as well as all teachers and
students in the public and private schools
of Bellefonte to witness the game, the
Bellefonte Central railroad company
announces a students’ excursion for the
day at the ridiculously low rate of 250.
for the round trip, for both teachers and
students. A special car, or more if nec-
essary, will be attached to the regular train
going to the College at 10.30 a. m., 1eturn-
ing alter the game on the regular train
arriving in Bellefonte at 6.40 p.m. This
will not only allow those going up to see the
football game but will give ample time to
inspect the College. Every student in
Bellefonte who possibly can should take
advantage of thislew rate excursion and
make the trip. Go, and take your lanch
with you if desired,and thus the cost of the
trip will be reduced toa minimom.
