ETON Bellefonte, Pa. September 27, 1907. Aged Woman's Limbs Twisted Until Died by Religious Fanatics, THRILLED BY HER AGONY Chicago, Sept. 21.—Five people, mem- bers of the sect of Parhamites, are un- der arrest in Zion City, accused of tor- turing to death Mrs. Letitia Green- haulgh, 54 years old, to show their be- lief in the religion they profess. The people under arrest are Walter and Annie Greenhaulgh, the son and daughter of the woman; Harold Mitch- ell, Mrs. Harold Mitchell, and a Mrs, Smith. All of them are accused of ter. Mrs. Greenhaulgh had been for 20 years an invalid, suffering from para- lysis and rheumatism. The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh, convinced her son and daughter and the three persons arrested with them that she must be possessed of the devil, and they determined to exorcise the evil spirit. The five knelt by the bedside, and, after prayer, commenced their work. The args of Mrs. Green- haulgh, stiffened by rheumatism, were jerked and twisted about in order that the devil might be driven out. The cries of the aged woman were consid- ered to be those of an evil spirit, and were greeted with triumphant shouts. After a course of this violent treat. ment, Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only be- came s0 weak that she could not use her limbs, but became incapable of, making any motion. Then her neck was twisted, and for some time this treatment was kept up. Walter Greenhaulgh testified at the coroner's inquest that Mitchell and his wife recently had a “vision,” in which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time to casting out demons from the sick. Young Greenhaulgh de- clared that his mother’s consent was obtained before the treatment was be- gun. He asserted that hypnotic passes were made before his mother's face, and then followed the mgicular force which, he said, was strOngly resisted by the “demons.” Mrs. Smith's part in the treatment, according to the testimony before the coroner's jury, consisted in raising Mrs. Greenhanlzgh's head and holding her while Mitchell and his wife attempted to straighten the woman's limbs, which had heen twisted by years of rheuma- tism. Greenhaulgh broke down and cried |” as he told his story. He sald that for some tiine his mother bore the treat- ment bravely, but at last the agony became so great that she could not re- strain herseli and shrieked, “Oh Lord, help me,” a number of times. Accord: ing to Greenhaulgh, Mitchell declared that her cries must not be heard by outsiders, and he put his hands across her mouth to smother them. The five worked over the victime until she died. After that, according to Greenhaulgh, Mrs. Smith became the leader in a “resurrection scene.” In this efforts were made to restore the dead woman to life. When these had failed the an- nouncement of her death was made. PLACED HIS HEAD ON TRACK Man Probably Insane Decapitated By Train. Pittsburg, Sept. 24—Thomas Mec. Dermott, 51 years of age, of Agnew, Pa, a few miles west of this city, placed his head on the track of the Pennsylvania railroad and was decapi- tated.

Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 23.—A wind | storm of cyclonic force, accompanied by sharp lightning, visited the lower part of Schuylkill county, with the re- sult that four persons were fatally injured, seven were seriously hurt and $0 others were wounded by the falling of a grand stand at Hegins, near here. Those fatally injured are: Howard Yoder, Hegins, aged 16 years, legs broken and hurt internally; Gordon Miller, of Gordon, 18 years, leg broken and hurt internally; Charles Ney, Val ley View, legs broken and hurt inter- nally, and Andrew Keppenhaver, Sac- ramento, skull fractured. The accident happened at the county fair of the Hegins grange, and a base- ball game was the final attraction of the show. A large crowd was attract. ed, and the grand stand was packed to its capacity. During the game rain started to fall, and many of the spec- tators sought shelter under the stand. A few minutes later a funnel-shaped cloud was seen coming from the west, traveling with great velocity. The whirling wind struck the stand with great force and crushed it. There were more than 100 persons beneath the stand. and when rescuers reached | them it was found that more than half | of them had been injured. | THE CAPITOL SUITS Be Submitted to, Grand Jury | Next Monday. Harrisburg, Sept. 24.—The state capitol graft cases will be submitted to the Dauphin county grand jury mext Monday. An order to this effect was made by President Judge Kunkel on petition of District Attorney Weiss. After the order had been granted, the district attorney stated that if true bills were found against the defendants | the court would be asked by both sides to fix a time for the trials. The petition of the district attorney | set forth, that in view of the large | number of cases which have already been listed for the present week, it would be impossible for the grand jury | to act upon the bills of indictment in | the capitol graft cases. Mr. Weiss ex- plained that all the indictments In the capitol cases have not been pre-| pared, and that the evidence to be submitted to the grand jury would be of such a character to require com- siderable time. Judge Kunkel then made a formal | order requiring the presence of the | grand jury for an additional week, be- | ginning next Monday, for the comsid- eration of the capitol cases. will FELL 2700 FEET TO DEATH Eleven Killed and Seven Fatally Hurt | By Plunge Down Mine Shaft. | Negaunee, Mich. Sept. 21.—By the plunging of a cage 2700 feet down the shaft of the Jones & Laughlin Steel | company's mine, 11 men were killed and seven fatally injured. The cage was making its first de scent for the day when the brake on | the hoisting drum gave way. Two] other men sprang to the assistance of the one at the brake wheel, but their combined efforts did not avail, and the | : wire cable continued to unreel from the | drum like a weighted thread from a lubricated bobbin. The cage shot down 200 feet before a kink in the rushing cable caused it to part. Then the cage dropped with a thud to the bottom of the shaft, the safety catches failing to operate. The fall had hurled the bodies together and they lay in one mass, from which seven, still breathing, were taken. They are fatally hurt.
