the result of the habeas corpus proveedings |
in the case, held last Saturday before Judge
Ellis L. Orvis.
Not siuce the famous Andrews trial back
| in January, 1890, bas there heen such in-
terest shown in any trial as was manifest-
ed in the hearing last Saturday. The court
house was crowded, scores of people stand-
ing in the various aisles, with those eager
to hear what evidence the Commonwealth
had against the man accused of so grave a
crime. The Commonwealth was represent.
ed by district attorney W. G. Runkle, ex-
Judge John G. Love and N. B. Spangler,
while the defendant bad as his attorneys
John M. Keichline and J. C. Meyer
Esgs.
The first witness called was Mm. Kate
Dale, widow of the murdered man, who,
after the customary preliminary questions,
stated that on November 12th, 1906, her
husband left home about one o'clock to go
to the farm on the top of the Nittany
mountain to husk corn, and that it was
about 8.30 o'clock in the evening when he
was brought home dead.
Dr. M. J. Locke, of Bellefonte, testified
that be made the post-mortem examination
of the body of Mr. Daleat the inquest held
on the morning of November 13th. That
be found an open wound in the left side
of the back. The wound was about one
and one-fourth inches in diameter. Sar-
rounding it were five shot holes. The
wound was made by a load of shot fired at
close range and extended inward and
downward at an angle of about twenty de-
grees. Portions of the fourth aud fifth ribs
were carried away as well as a portion of
the left lung. The pulmonary artery was
severed, a mumber of shot were imbedded
in the heart while almost the entire load
went through the body and as buried in
the walls of the abdominal cavity. Death
war practically instantaneous.
Dr. P. 8. Fisher, of Zion,county coroner,
testfied to the hoid ing of the inquest and
corroborated Dr. J.ocke’s testimony as
given ahove.
Margaret Moyer, wife of Andrew Moyer,
who occupied the Dale farm at the time he
was killed but who have since moved to
Centre Hall, testified that in March, 1906,
prior to their moving on the Dale farm,
Mr. From wanted them to have Dale sell his
cows and they (the Moyers and Mr. Dale)
take From’s cows to keep. On being told
that Dale refused to do eo, Mrs. Moyer
swore that From declared he would *‘put
the barn in ashes’’ and also ‘‘lay Dale low."
On cress examination Mrs, Moyer told of
the day Dale was at the farm and met his
death but stated that she did not know
definitely what time it was when he start-
ed home, asshe was back of the house
boiling apple-butter and the only
way she knew Dale had gone was when
she missed his horse and buggy from the
barnyard, and that was close to seven
o'clock. She also swore that her husband
was with ber all the time from the time
he arrived home from Centre Hall about
5.30 o'clock.
Andrew Moyer’s testimony was merely
a corroboration of his wife's story. He
also swore that be heard From say he
would burn Dale’s barn and lay him low,
as the threats were made at the Moyer
home in Center Hall prior to their moving
on the Dale farm.
Frank Shutt and Robert Smith testified
that one day while in the former's black-
smith ehop From bad made the remark
that Dale would have to suffer for what
he had done.
Mrs. Mary Decker, who lives just across
the alley from the From home, testified
that she was at home all day on November
12th, 1906. Late in the afternoon she
went up town to the postoffice and the
doctors, and that it was quite dark when
she got home. She saw a man come out of
the From house and start up the mountain.
He was carrying something, but she would
not say whether it was a stick or a gun, as
it was too dark to distinguish objects plain-
ly. About seven o'clock she heard a gun
shot and a half hour or so later heard quite
a commotion in From’s house. The next
morning From told her that Dale had been
shot at seven o'clock the evening before at
the Adam Nearhoof road on the mountain,
and that he supposed he would be blamed
for doing it, becanse he and Dale bad had a
lawsnit. Sometime previous she had
heard From make various threats against
Dale. Then came the most remarkable
part of the witnesses testimony in which
she swore that about three weeks prior to
the arrest of the Froms, father and son, Mr.
From was walking up and down the alley
between his house and hers and talking to
himself and that she yery distinctly heard
him eay that he took his gun and went up
the mountain and killed Dale. On eroes-
examination the witness admitted that she
and the Froms had not been on the bess
of ters for several years, but she stuck
close to the story told on her examination
in obiel. The witness denied that she had
ever said she would swear the crime on
From in order to shield her son.
Margaret Guisewhite, mother of Mrs.
Decker, and a tottering woman eighty-two
years of age, also testified to having heard
the shot fired on the evening of Novem-
ber 12th, and to hearing From say he had
gove up the mountain and shot Dale the
morning he was walking in the alley
and talking to himself. On cross-examina-
tion she admitted that she did not see
| glad he was dead.
John T. Zeller and John Moore both
testified that they were at John Kennedy's
| butchering and when it come to killing the
hogs some one inquired for a gun and Mr.
Kennedy said he bad none, whereupon
From spoke up and said that if he had
known it he would have brought his shoot-
ing-iron along—the one he killed Dale
with. Ob cross-examination, both men ad-
mitted that they all considered it merely
owe of From’s jokes avd bad no thought
that he was serious about it.
John Trafford testified to a conversation
he bad with From in the jail in which the
latter told him that’’Old Mary ‘* ( Mrs, Deck-
er)would swear that he bad goue np the
mountain with a gun on his shoulder, but
that he only went as far as his field and
that be did not have a gun.
A. L. Millard, the detective, testified that
when be went to see From the latter told
him that he bad nothing but a ten gauge
shot gun. That he used to have a twelve
gauge gun bat had sold it shortly after the
granger’s picnic. Millard further testified
that twelve gauge shells could be shot out
of From’s ten gauge gun as he had tried it
himself.
Morris Lencowilz, aleo a detective, testi-
fied that he was the first man to undertake
to hunt down the Dale murder or murder-
ers, having gone to Centre Hall on Novem-
ber 220d, 1906, and remaided there a num-
ber of weeks. That during that time he
bad gone out hunting with James From
some four or five times. The first time
they went ont together voung From car-
ried a twelve gauge single barrel shot gon.
He also swore that the last time he went to
get young From to go along with him his
father told him to be careful, keep his
mouth shut and not say anything,
The last witness was W. B. Shuts, who
testified he met the detective and young
From the first time they went hunting to-
gether and that From carried the twelve
gauge gun described hy the detective.
With this testimony the Commonwealth
rested.
J. C. Meyer Esq., made an earnest ap-
peal for the discharge of the prisoner on
the grounds that insuflicient evidence
bad been submitted by the Commonwealth
to justify holding him for trial. Ex.-
Judge Love argued the case for the Com-
monwealth and Jadge Orvis at once decid-
ed that the evidence was sufficient to justi-
fy holding him for trial. At the same
time he announced that the case against
young From would be held under advise-
ment uetil Monday but on Saturday after-
noon he decided that there was no evidence
to hold him as an accomplice in the perpe-
tration of the crime and ordered his dis-
charge on the condition that he furnished
bail in the sum of eight hundred dollars
for his appearance at court. Bail was fur-
nished and young From was discharged the
same afternoon.
Mr. From was very nervous during all
of Saturday's hearing aud when the Judge
anuounced his decision he'broke down and
sobbed like a child.

~The weather man bas been giving us
a touch of genuine March-like weather skis
week. Beginning with the real epring-like
article on Sunday and Monday we were
confronted with from two to three inches
of snow on Tuesday morning, then a day
of rain, and thunder and lighting with ter-
rific rain storms Tuesday evening and
night, while Wednesday came in with
weather cold enough for January.
-——From all indications Bellefonte will
have quite a number more new automo-
bilists the coming summer than it bas
ever hod in the past. The last man to or-
der one was Harry L. Garber, who is get-
ting a Buick ran-about like Hugh Crider’s.
Aud still there are others very seriously
considering the question of getting either a
car or run-about, so don’t be surprised at
seeing most any man in town in one.

—— ‘Parents Day’’ was celebrated at the

a large number of the patrons of the schools

play of work done there by the students in
attendance this year. Today will be *‘Par-
ents Day’’ at both the stone and Howard
street buildings and the people of Belle-
fonte who feel ab interest in the welfare of
the sohool should make it a point to attend.
BEEZER'S LIVERY SALE A BiG ONE.—
The public sale of George A. Beezer's
livery stable and outfit, which took place
on Thursday of last week and consequent-
ly was finished too late in the day to give
any acourate report in the WATCHMAN,
was by all odds the biggest livery sale ever
held in Central Pennsylvania. Beginning
at 9.30 o'clock in the morning it was well
on towards five o'clock in the evening
when the last horse was disposed of; and
even then it kept auctioneers John 8. Wil-
liams and son, of Bloomsburg, just as buey
as they could be all day to get through
when they did.
The prices realized were fairly good, ove
team of horses bringing $330, while for
the carriages and buggies very good prices |
were obtained. The entire sale amounted |
to about six thousand dollars, which was
a very fair figure considering the fact that |
Mr. Beezer had disposed of about two
thousand dollars worth of horses and wag-
ons at private sale prior to his public |
vendue.
The closing of the Beezer livery stable
will andoubtedly be felt by the traveling
public dependent on hiring rigs.
Beezer had beep in the business for the
past fourteen years and in that time al-
ways bad on hand anywhere from five to
twenty-four horses, iv late years averaging |
close to the latter figure, and ove could
always count on getting a good turnout.
Of course there are other good liveries in
Bellefonte and of course Beezer's large
patronage will be divided among them.
Mr. Beezer expects in the future to give
his entire time to conducting a sale and ex-
change stable. Quite naturally he now
feels somewhat like a fish out of water, as
this is the first time in fourteen years that
be does not own a horse. But we predict
that he will not be without one very long;
in fact, he now bas his eyes on several and
it will not be many days until he will he

ior horseflesh.

had a varrow escape for his life on Wednes-
day. A blast was being put off and the
men as usual went into a frame building
for protection from the flying stone. The
blast was an unusually powerful one and a
stone weighing from twenty-five to thir
pounds was hurled in the air and came
down with such force as to crush through
the roof of the shanty-like building in
which the men had taken refuge, striking
Mr. Lyon on tbe right side with such force
that his watch was smashed into pieces.
He was knocked down and badly stunned
but fortunately was nos cat, although very
badly braised. His injury was such, how-
ever, that he had ‘to be taken home and
will be unable to work for some time. Had
the stone fallen one foot to the left and hit
him on the head it would have crushed hie
skoll and killed him lomtantly, >
