Confronted with the Fact that His Razor Had Been Found, He Breaks Down and Tells Whole Gruesome Story. Bert Delige (colored) in jail here on the charge of murdering Mrs. John Bau- dis, of Scotia, on the evening of October 16th, has confessed to having committed the deed while he was so under the in- fluence of liquor that he did not know what he was doing, but denies that he acted with malice aforethought or from any motive whatever. The confession was made only after the authorities con- fronted him with the fact that they had secured his razor and the blood spots the razor, the confession and all new de- velopments in the case are as follows. Several days prior to the habeas cor- pus hearing, which was held on Novem- ber 10th, Bert told his sister Nora, who lives in Bellefonte, to send for his brother Walter immediately. Word was sent to the latter at Scotia and he came down, but when he went to the jail he was de- nied admittance. Finally he was allowed to go in in company with W. D. Zerby Esq. The two brothers talked very low and Bert told Walter where he would find his razor. As soon as possible the latter told his mother, his brother Budd and sister Nora about the razor and on the day of the hearing, but before it took place, they told their attorney. Bert, however, did not admit that he commit- ted the crime but stated that when he first heard of the murder he knew at once that they would blame him and he just went and hid his razor. The attorneys advised the Delige family to leave the razor where it was a few days while they would consider what was best to do in the case. In the meantime a detective had been secured by the county commissioners to assist the district attorney in working up the case and he and Mr. Runkle had col- lected some very damaging evidence against the prisoner. A few days after the hearing on the 10th the district attor- ney was indirectly informed that Walter Delige knew where his brother Bert had hidden the razor, so on last Thursday, he and the detective went toScotia and going to Walter said: “Walter, we know that you know where the razor is hidden and we want you to show us.” Walter said: “Yes, I do; and I'll take you to where it is.” He then took them out in the rear of the house some one hundred and twenty or thirty steps to an old chestnut stump where the razor was found hidden under some leaves and dirt. An examination of the instrument showed spots of blood upon it and there was no doubt in the minds of the officials that it was the razor with which the murder Fad been committed. The razor was carefully wrapped up and brought to Bellefonte and put under lock and key and the mat- ter was allowed to rest a few days. Monday afternoon, however, the detec- tive and one or two others visited Bert in the Centre county jail. The former questioned him about the crime but the latter did not volunteer any information, although showing evidence of weakening, until be was told the fact that Walter had shown them where the razor was hidden and that they had secured it. That blood spots had been found there- on, which was strong evidence against him and he had better admit the truth. Delige finally broke down and exclaimed, “Yes, I did it.” He then made a rather incoherent though explicit enough con- fession to satisfy the authorities that he was telling the truth. The same evening (Monday) Bert was visited in his cell by Rev. P. E. Paul, of the A. M. E. church, and his sister, Nora Delige. To them he admitted having made a confession in the afternoon and not only averred that it was all true but declared that he felt better for having told the truth. Since making his con- fession Delige has made several state- ments and they all agree in detail. Re- garding the whole awful occurrence he said . “Saturday evening I went to Pine Top, stayed there Saturday night and Sunday all day. George Mayhew, Budd Delige, Aaron Delige, Budd Dixon, Teddy Delige, Tom Miller, Grant Jones, Mrs. Jones and Isaac Lykens were all there. We had whiskey, beer and sme cider to drink. We had two four-gallon kegs of beer, but could not say how much of the other two drinks we had. [drank some beer and quite a lot of whiskey and some cider but do not know just how much. Sunday evening we started for home, but can't say just what time it was when we left. Harry Delige, George Mayhew and Teddy Delige started ahead of me; they went across the hill the near way. Aaron and I went up the railroad to Waddle station and then took the main road and went straight home. “When we got to the Red Row, Mrs. Bellefonte, Pa., November 25, 1910. ; Baudis came out of Wilson Ghaner's. -| When we got just opposite Curry’s gate ing, Bert”; we both said "Good evening” and she went on. She was walking right smart, and went on towards Haugh's store. Aaron and I turned off to the path that leads to our house. We went into the house and I stayed a little while—not very long—and then started for Baudis’. I went up over the church hill and down a back road until I came to the main road that leads to Scotia. Then I went up the railroad, up the path that leads to | the company stable and down by Jacob Ghaner’s shop, then on out the road to the mud dam, crossed the mud dam into the strip of woods, and then got on the main path again. From there I went up through the woods, crossed the fence crossed the corn field and went over into the sod field; there I stopped. I had drunk so much that [I could go no fur- ther. “I think the three kinds of drink made me lose my head, and when I saw Mrs. Baudis coming, I just pushed her over and cut her throat. She screamed for help when I pushed her over, but I placed my hand on her forehead, pushed her back and cut her throat. 1 was standing back of her when I did it. Then I jump- ed over the fence, ran across the mud dam, into the woods and on to the rail- roal. I went out a short distance and then left the railroad and got on the main path which leads to the boarding house. 1 turned off below the boarding house and went down the main path un- til I came to a back road that leads to our house. When I came to a chestnut tree just below our house, I threw the razor back of it and then went on to Mc- Kivisons.” When asked why he made this confes- sion now Bert replied: “Well, after the hearing I made up my mind that I would wait until after the trial, and then after the testimony had all been given in I would make my confes- sion. I wanted to hear just what they would say and how they would lieon me. But the crime was a weight on my soul and I wanted to be relieved of it. I have not yet been blessed, but am striving for it under the directions of our colored minister, Rev. Paul.” While Delige's confession settles the fact that Mrs. Baudis was most foully murdered and that he committed the deed it does not help matters much so far as him being tried for the crime is concern- ed. He will have to be given a fair and impartial trial betore a jury of his peers and the Commmonwealth will be com- pelled to prove him guilty beyond the peradventure of a doubt; without the liberty of using his own confession against him. In hisiconfession Delige stoutly denied that he bad any ill-feeling against Mrs. Baudis or any reason fo: committing his awful crime except the fact that he was crazed with liquor and out of his head. Regarding the money it was alleged Mrs. Baudis owed him and over which it was said they had had a dispute, Bert admit- ted that she did owe him perhaps fifteen dollars but that he had never asked her for it, so they couldn't have had any trouble over that. And the question of a motive is one the attorneys will have to wrangle over and upon which hangs Delige's life or death. To convict of murder in the first degree the Commonwealth must show a motive and premeditation. So far neither has been made public in this case, and al- though the deed was one of the most fiendish that brain could conjure or brutal man commit, it is just possible that Bert Delige may escape the gallows through the inability of the Common- wealth to establish a satisfactory motive in their trial before a jury. There is hardly any doubt but that the case will come up for trial the first week of the December term of court, which will be week after next; and as the regular quarter sessions list is not a long one the case will probably be called some time on Wednesday, December 7th. In the mean- time a constant watch will be kept over Delige to see that he does not escape or do himself bodily harm, John Trafford and Joshua Folk having been appointed as guards. A RECORD OF CRIME. In all the history of Centre county but six men have paid the penalty on the gallows for having committed murder. The first two were in the early part of the nineteenth century and the last four in the last twenty years. For almost three quarters of a century the county was practically free from the commission of murder, but the record in the past twenty years is an appalling one and enough to inspire the question, wherefore civiliza- tion ? Following is a list. On September 22nd, 1889, W. Seely Hop- kins shot and killed his wife and mother- in-law, Mrs. Margaret Wighaman, in Phil- ipsburg, because he claimed his wife was unfaithful and her mother stood up in her defense. He was tried at the November term of court the same year, convicted of murder in the first degree for killing his mother-in-law and was executed on Feb- ruary 20th, 1890. On November 27th, 1889, Clara Price was murdered in Burnside township while on her way to her home at Karthaus. The murder baffled the officials for a week or more and finally suspicion pointed to Alfred Andrews, an Englishman, who at one time worked for Mr. Price and then lived at Osceola Mills. He was arrested | on the evening of October 16th completes and after one of the most sensational | trials in the history of the county was convicted at the January term of court, | 1890, and was executed April 9th, 1890, | after having confessed to committing the | murder. On January 28th, 1890, Andrew Weaver was found dead on the porch of his home in Penn township with a knife stab inthe’ side. His wife, Fietta Weaver, was ar- rested and tried for murder at the April | term of court in the same year, but the! evidence against her was not very strong ' and she was convicted of voluntary man- | slaughter and sent to the penitentiary for | three years. On September 3rd, 1890, Harry Water: house was shot down in cold blood on Thomas street by one of the hangers-on of Rogers’ show which was exhibiting here that day. The man was arrested and gave his name as John Wilson. For various reasons his case was not called for trial at the November term of court and on the night of December 23rd he escaped from jail and disappeared as mysterious- ly as if swallowed by the earth. On February 16th, 1902, Frank Beck- with, of Fowler, walked across the moun- tain, through two foot of snow, to Sandy Ridge and deliberately shot his wife be- cause of alleged unfaithfulness. He was tried at the August term of court, con- victed of murder in the second degree and sentenced to the penitentiary for nine years. On July 21st, 1902, David Miller shot and killed Robert Roach his son-in-law, on the road near the Miller home at Sandy Ridge. Because the shooting was | alleged to have been the result of a quarrel between the two men Miller was only convicted of murder in the second degree at the November term of court and was sent to the penitentiary for eight years. | On the evening of July 29th, 1904, Jerry | Condo, the turnkey at the jail, was bat- tered over the head, his keys taken and Ira Green, William Dillen, George Hen- derson and Dominic Constance escaped from the jail. Condo's skull was frac- tured and he died the same night. Con- | stance was captured on the mountains up | Buffalo Run and Green and Dillen were caught in a swamp near Mill Hall. Hen- derson made his escape. Green and Dil- len were tried for murder at the August | term of court and were convicted of mur- der in the first degree. Every possible effort was put forth to save them from the gallows but without avail and they were hanged on March 7th, 1905. On October 20th, 1905, Bert Delige, the | same man who has confessed to the kill- | ing of Mrs. Baudis, shot and killed Ralph | Williams in the play ground at the Scotia | school house. He was tried for murder in the second degree because it was! claimed that the shooting wasonly an act of criminal recklessness and not premedi- | tated. He was convicted but his attor- neys applied tor a new trialand the court gave the Commonwealth the alternative | of going through with a new trial or ac- | cepting the prisoner's plea of guilty to | involuntary manslaughter. The latter was accepted and Delige was sent to the! penitentiary for three years. : On September 12th, 1906, John Kachic | was found on the railroad near Clarence | with his head cut off. An investigation showed that he had been murdered and | the body placed on the track purposely to . cover the evidence of the crime. Andrew | Kachic and Harry Watson were arrested | for having committed the crime but the | evidence was insufficient to hold them | and they were discharged. : On October 3rd, 1906, Clyde Auman, of | Penn township, was shot while up a tree | gathering chestnuts.

MEeeT- ING.—President Harper and members Yeager, Grimm and Beezer were all that were present at the regular meeting of council on Monday evening and as four did not constitute a legal quorum they were compelled to adjourn without trans- acting any business. And this was rather unfortunate, too, because the question of what is to be done with the uncompleted portions of the state road was to be brought up for discussion, and as resi- dents of north Allegheny street, one block on Linn street and on Bishop street are particularly interested in this matter they naturally were anticipating some action of council whereby passable cross- ings would at least be put on these thoroughfares at the various streets so that pedestrians could cross without be- ing compelled to wade mud and water. C. T. Gerberich was present in the council chamber and asked that the Y. M. C. A. be exonerated of the eighteen dollars of water tax assessed against the association. Action upon same will be taken at the next meeting when there is a quorum present. Heary C. Quigley Esq. attorney for James Noonan, was present to notify council that the latter would hold the borough responsible for damages for the injuries his wife sustained by falling in an unguarded hole on the corner of Bishop and Allegheny streets, last Wed- nesday evening, but he also decided to wait until another time when a majority of the members is present. After council adjourned Mr. Musser, of the South ward, made his appearance, but president Harper did not re-convene the body of borough law-makers. mt———— A] + — "HUMAN HEARTS"—To be transported from the strife of town to the atmos- phere of the hill country, with its simple honest people pursuing their lives of af- fection and trust, is in itself a refresh- ment. In the realistic melodrama “Human Hearts,” the scenes of which are chiefly among the hills of Arkansas, is found a power to charm that is marvellous, Everything has its purpose and furthers the main intention of an all absorbing story of love, hate, injustice and retribu- tion. The play engages the sympathies for the sufferings visited on a family of plain, honest people, through the unfortu- nate marriage of the hero with an adven- turess whom he thought to reform, but failed; the temptation of the old life prov- ing too strong for her. The dark side of the story is well balanced with humor, adroitly introduced and made a necessary element in the action. To detail the plot would rob the reader of the pleasure of its surprises, for like Shore Acres, and the Old Homestead, “Human Hearts” while on a different theme, throbs with interest true to nature and is an ever welcome visitor to the discriminating and thoughtful tator.
