GREEN AND DILLEN.—Ere another issue of the WATCHMAN reaches its readers Ira Green and William Dillen will have paid the penalty of the law for their crime in killing Jerry Condo, the turn-key in the Centre county jail, on the evening of July 29th last. Sheriff Hugh S. Taylor has com- pleted the final arrangements for the double execution. The scaffold has been erected in the southeast corner of the jail yard, the builders being Samuel Ganltand William Steele, the former having built the scaffold on which both Hopkins and Andrews were hanged. : As to the two men themselves, there is no noticeable difference in their demeanor from that of the past few weeks. They are both bearing up manfully under what would be a terrible mental strain to any ordinary man. They are given especial consideration and treatment now by sheriff Taylor and the death watch on duty. Their spiritual welfare is being looked after daily by their adviser, Rev. W. B. Cox. Last Sunday Rev. Crittenden and a selected choir held special song services in their be- ball. This Sunday coming has been set apart for the last visit of the friends of the condemned men. Dring the past few weeks sheriff Taylor has been besieged with requests for cards of ad mission to witness the double hanging, bus owing to the limited area of the jail yard the number of people who will be ad- mitted will necessarily have to be limited. From 10 to 3 o’clock is the time named in the death warrant in which the execution must take place and, though the sheriff has not just decided when he will perform his unpleasant duty, it will likely be as soon after 10 o’clock as possible. After the execution the bodies of both men will be placed in their coffins and will repose in the outside corridor of the jail until such time as it is convenient for their removal by their friends, who have already made claim for the bodies. Wednesday noon the jail doors were closed against the admission of any and all strange visitors, and since that time and from now on until after the execution no one will be admitted to see the prisoners but their spiritual advisers and the im- mediate friends of the condemned men. Mrs, Annie Morse, a sister of Dillen, is now here and has been up to see the condemned man |g several times, and her anguish over the impending doom of her unfortunate broth- er is certainly pitiable. In fact, she is far more affected than he has ever shown him- self to be. The other members of Dillen’s family will likely come to Bellefonte to- morrow to spend what little time they will be allowed to with him until the day of execution. If is expected that Green’s wife, his parents and family will also be here tomorrow and possibly Sunday. CHARLES AND HOWARD STEWART AND WINFIELD GREGG HELD EOR MURDER.— Tuesday afternoon a habeas corpus hearing was given Charles and Howard Stewart and Winfield Gregg, the three men arrest- ed for baving caused the death of Michael MoHugh, the man whose body was found in the Moshannon creek, near Osceola, on the morning of April 12th. The prosecu- ion was instituted by the dead man’s son, Barney McHugh, who was represented at the hearing by distriot attorney W. G. Runkle. The defendants’ counsel were Hon. John G. Love, Hon. Wm. C. Heinle, George B. Zeigler and J. A. B. Miller. A large number of witnesses were heard. The testimony indicated that McHugh, Gregg and the two Stewart boys had in- dulged in a drunken carounsal at Gregg’s shanty the previous night. Boys who pas- sed by heard conversations indicating that. there bad been a quarrel and that MoHugh was dead. The party were under the in- fluence of liquor. The next day Gregg was still ‘under the influence of liquor and made numerous statements. A general search was made at the time for the mis- sing McHugh, and as he was last seen at the Greeg shanty, a short distance from his home the previous evening, they nas- urally went to him for information. The replies from Gregg were, that McHugh was dead, and his body would be found down the stream. There was evidence that he was struck on the head and knocked off a nail keg in the shanty; that Howard Stew- art started to take McHugh home and was gone ahout an hour ; that when he came back his clothes were wet and muddy ; thas he said McHugh would not be found alive again. ~The examination of the body by Drs. Hayes and Huff convinced them that the man was dead before the body reached the water, as there was no water in the lungs or any evidence of drowning. At the conclusion of the testimony Love, made a strong plea for the discharge of the prisoners but the court decided that suffi- cient evidence had been produced to war- rant submitting the case to a jury, and the prisoners were remanded for trial at the August term of cours. eee lll eee.

Mr. Rankin agreed to the price and the neoessary permit was granted. Borough treasurer James K. Barnhart banded in his monthly report which show- ed a balance due him of $1,174.96. Theo- dore Cherry asked that a sewer be laid on north Thomas street. A representative of the J. I. Chase company was present and explained to council the merits of their steam road rollers. The proposed ordinance regulating the speed of automobiles was tabled, inasmuch as since its introduction Governor Pennypacker has signed the bill regulating the speed of autos at ten miles per hour. The ordinance providing for the estab- lishment and conduct of the Pruner home for orphan children was taken up and read. Dr. Kirk moved she adoption of the ordi- nance, which motion was not seconded. Mr. Keller offered a resolution to repeal the ordinance passed in March providing for the acceptance of the bequest, refuse the bequest and acoept the offer of Mrs. Hayes to pay the borough $10,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fenlon. Arguments in support of the resolution were made by Keller aud Fenlon while Dr. Kirk and Mr. Jenkins argued against it. Finally Mr. Keller withdrew his resolution and made a motion to table the ordinance until next meeting night, which was carried. Geo. R. Meek, ex-treasurer, in the pres- ence of council turned over to his suec- cessor, treasurer James K. Barnhart, the Sinking fond, which some people have thought mythical.

Mr. Fenlon made a motion that the borough subscribe $100 toward the improvement fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. Derstine. Dr. Kirk opposed the motion on the grounds that the borough debt is too bigh already, bus it carried, the doctor be- ing the only one to vote nay.

Of course none of the other local piscatorialists were envious when they started as they were expected to come home with empty creels. Instead, however, they came back with about twenty of as fine trout as one would want to see, in size being from ‘mine to fifteen inches. Elated with their success they concluded to have a stag trout ‘supper, which they did on Friday evening, at the Beezer home on Howard street. © The four .of their friends fortunate enough to be favored with an invitation to be present were Messrs.

Mrs. Blair went from here to her parent's home in Northumberland, they having broken up housekeeping and stored their household goods in Crafton, where she will remain until her husband, who is engaged as mechanical engineer with a large Pittsburg engi- neering firm, is permanently located somewhere.
