Delige on Trial for Murder

of his party. He seems to be shy on tact, |
He can't fool a considerable number of
he people even part of the time. His
thabit of playing fast and loose with every-
body has lost its potency. His perennial
and expansive smile has ceased to charm
and it looks as if he is destined to “fall
between the stools.” He gets no comfort
from the stand-patters and as little solace
from the insurgents. Even his “lame-
duck alley,” in the executive building
fails to furnish recompense for disappoint-
ments that are attributed to him by the
victims of both sides.
Speaker CANNON is more philosophic.
He says things might have been worse
for his party. They couldn’t have been
much worse, of course, for Pennsylvania
was only saved by a fluke and Wisconsin
and Minnesota might as well have gone
Democratic as insurgent. But the per-
sonal equation intervenes to help CAN-
NON. He was re-elected. His majority
was reduced, certainly, but a reduced ma-
jority carries a commission. TAFT has
no such consolation and very little hope
for it. Out of the overwhelming majority
of Judge HARMON, of Ohio, there is dis-
cernible nothing but TAFT disaster. It is
sad but certain. Excuse these tears.
President TAFT “is in wrong.” He be-
gan his work of reconciliation badly. He
first sent for ALDRICH and CANNON and
then for CumMINS and LAFOLLETTE. If
he had pinned his faith to one or the
other of these discordant elements, he
might have had a chance. The audacity
of the action might have served as a
soperific. But he undertook to placate
both and revealed his own uncertainty.
That “God hates a coward” is axiomatic,
and men despise a trimmer. Poor TAFT
is the victim of hisown folly. The “lame
duck alley" which he prepared for dis-
pairing Senators and Representatives in
Congress is his logical home.
——Mr. DAVID LANE, first lieutenant to
boss PENROSE, has announced that such
is his devotion to recognized authority
that “had he lived during the days of the
Revolution he would have been a Tory.”
No doubt of that. And even as a “Tory”
he wouldn't have been as great a men.
ace to the welfare of the people and the
honor of the country as he is in being
the manipulator of election returns and
the encourager of a debauched ballot that
he has shown himself to be. No, Mr.
LANE, there are depths of disgrace even
deeper than that of being a “Tory” and
yourself and brother “gangsters” seem to
take pride in wallowing in them.
+ ——The jury having been filled in the
DELIGE case the fight is now on to decide
whether the law will permit the hanging
of the brute. Hanging is a mild punish-
ment for the crime to which he has con-
fessed, but the law in the case might not
even permit that.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
——Miss Edith Payne has been seri
ously ill for the past week, at her home
on Reynolds avenue.
~—Pitt Parker, the “Crayon Wizard,”
will appear in Petriken hall in crayon
recitals on Monday evening, December
12th, as the second entertainment in the
Y. M. C. A. Star course. The originality
and seeming spontaneity of his programs
have made them one of the most popular
forms of amusement and education.
Aside from his pictures his recital is full
of wit, good sense and inspiration. His
humor is as irresistible as it is original.
The regular price of fifty cents admission
will prevail
——On Sunday register Earle C. Tuten
was forty years old and in celebration of
the event his wife arranged for him and
carried out very successfully a surprise
party on Saturday night, at which a num-
ber of the court house officials and sev-
eral other friends, to the number of one
dozen, were entertained at a chicken and
waffle supper. Through the connivance
of a friend Mr. Tuten was detained down
town until after six o'clock when he
finally managed to escape and made his
way home on a dog trot, hoping, no
doubt, that we would be on time for the
good, hot supper he anticipated and little
suspecting what awaited him in his own
home. His friends in the meantime had
assembled in the dining room with the
lights all out and as Mr. Tuten rushed
through the sitting room and pushed open
the dining room door the electric light
was turned on and he was confronted by
the group of his fellow officials. i
of a rather diffident nature he was some-
what taken aback, but he soon recovered
his self-possession and entered into the
spirit of the gathering. When everybody
present had disposed of all the chicken
and waffles they were able to store under
their belts, the guests presented Mr.
Tuten with a very comfortable easy chair
for use in his de-(re) clining days, Paul
Fortney making the presentation speech.

Naturally the one case of exceeding in-
terest in court this week was that of the
Commonwealth against Bert Delige,
charged with the killing of Mrs. John
Baudis on the evening of October 16th,
by cutting her throat with a razorin a
sod field near her home at Scotia, and the
court house is crowded with those anxious
to hear the trial. It was expected that
the case would be reached by Wednesday
morning but the balance of the list was
not cleaned up until a half hour after
court convened yesterday morning and it
was 9:30 o'clock when the case was
reached.
Delige was brought into court by sheriff
Hurley and deputy sheriff Fred Reese,
apparently as cool and unconcerned as
any man in the room. At the counsel
table with him sat his sister Nora and
brother Walter. As stated last week the
prisoner's chief counsel is Edward R,
Chambers with W. D. Zerby as assistant,
while district attorney W. G. Runkle and
N. B. Spangler looked after the interests
of the Commonwealth. To the charge of
murder Delige 1efused to make any plea
at all. The drawing of the jury
began at 9:40 o'clock and it took almost
a half hour to get the first one, and most
of the day was spent in securing the re-
quired twelve. The regular panel was
exhausted before three o'clock, when the
court house doors were closed and the
calling of talesman began. Twenty-one
talesman were called before the jury was
complete and as made up it is as fol-
lows:
Green Heaton, farmer, Benner township.
Charles D. Moore, laborer, Harris town-
ship.
B. F. Kreamer, farmer, Benner town-
ship.
J. A. Scholl, photographer, Millheim.
Christ Cowher, clerk, Rush township.

ship.
A. Stine Walker,
township.
Talesmen:
George W. Rumberger, clerk, Union-
ville.
William Tressler, gentleman, Belle-
fonte.
Isaac Miller, carpenter, Bellefonte.
Jonathan Packer, farmer, Boggs town-
ship.
David Bradford, machine agent, Centre
Hall.
The history of the Mrs. Baudis murder
has been told and retold in this paper so
that it is not necessary to reprint it here.
The fact that Delige made a confession
does not relieve the Commonwealth from
giving him a fair and impartial trial and
proving him guilty, if such he be. And it
depends entirely upon the evidence pro-
duced as to the degree of crime for which
he can be convicted. The Commonwealth
has a big array of witnesses and as it
looks at this writing the case may run
way into Saturday. The full proceedings
will be given in next week's WATCHMAN.
While the WATCHMAN does not believe
in exploiting horrible crimes of this na-
ture and will not issue an extra edition to
tell you of the verdict, for that isall theré
can be of importance after the confession,
it will be very glad to give any one all in-
formation at its command concerning the
progess of the trial. So if you care to call
this office by phone at any time we will
give you personally all the information
you may desire and the moment a verdict
has been reached we will telephone it to
all the postoffices in the county.
Evidently those goody-goody re-
formers of Philadelphia, who have been
fixing our election laws ever since they
got the old vest pocket system abolished,
have determined to give the bosses all
the chance they want to have things their
own way. Now they demand a ticket like
they have down in Australia, that only
about one man in ten can vote without
assistance, and in addition are asking that
the primaries be put off until in Septem-
ber. As registration in the country dis-
tricts close during the first week in Sep-
tember to have the primaries come after
it was too late to register would be such
a Jim-dandy proposition, to insure a short
registration in the country, that we won-
der the entire Philadelphia gang is
not howling for it. In some way or other
the reforms proposed by these professional
reformers are always such as best suits
the needs and purposes of the fellows
they pretend to be fighting. And if the
election laws are again changed to suit
the wishes of these visionaries, you can
bet your bottom dollar that they will suit
the bosses better than the rotten ones the
people are now to anxious have amended.

BURNS AND SHOCK CAUSES DEATH.—
Raymond C. Gensler died at his home at
State College last Wednesday evening as
the result of burns and shock sustained
in an explosion of gasolene gas. Gensler
had charge of the mechanical part of the
laundry conducted by his brother, Arthur
Gensler and Arthur Miller under the firm
name of Miller & Gensler.
Wednesday morning Gensler went into
a basement room to examine the machine
by which they manufactured gas from
gasolene. For some purpose he was in
the act of drawing some gasolene from
the tank when it took fire and a loud ex-
plosion followed. The fluid was thrown
all over Gensler and he was almost im-
mediately enveloped in flames, Miller
was standing alongside the collar ma- |
chine and hearing the explosion and ob- |
serving a sheet of flame shoot up along |
side the machine by which he was stand
ing, realized at once what had happened |
and rushed into the wash room to the!
trap door leading to the basememt. At!
the bottom he saw Gensler standing with |
his clothing all on fire and he dragged |
him out and tore the burning clothing
from his body, being quite badly burned
himself while doing so. !
Gensler was hastily removed to the |
William Cole heme near the laundry
where he was given all the attention pos-
sible then taken to his own home. He
was badly burned about the face and
upper portion of the body, butthe gravest
fear was that he had inhaled the fire.
Every effort was put forth to relieve his
sufferings and save his life but withont
avail and he died at ten o'clock the
evening. A post-mortem revea
fact that his death was directly ..
the shock to his system.
Gensler was twenty-seven years

AIKENS-—Mrs. Athalia C. Aikens, wife of
Rev. C. T. Aiken, president of the Susque-
hanna University, died very unexpectedly
; at her home in Selinsgrove on Tuesday
evening. Just before Christmas of last
year Mrs. Aikens suffered a nervous
breakdown so severe that for months past
she had been undergoing treatment in a
private sanitorium just outside of Phil-
, adelphia. She had grown so much better
that it was deemed best to take her home
to Selinsgrove which was done last Thurs-
day. During the few days she was at
home she was bright and cheerful until
Tuesday afternoon when she suffered a
collapse and died within a few hours. It
is believed that the excitement of being
at home caused heart failure.
Deceased was a daughter of Josiah and
Maria Gitt and was born at Hanover
forty-nine years ago. She was highly
educated and accomplished and a charm-
| ing woman in every way. Twenty-one
years ago on Thanksgiving day she was
united in marriage to Rev. Aikens, who
had entered the ministry only a year or
two previous and the young couple went
to housekeeping at Pine Grove Mills
where the reverend was pastor of the
Lutheran church. For seventeen years
they resided in that place and during that
time Mrs. Aikens endeared herself to all
with whom she came in contact by her
extreme kindness and lovable character,
so that her death is the cause of sadness
in every home in that locality. It is four
years since the family left Pine Grove
Mills and moved to Selinsgrove, but in
| that time, as long as her health permitted,
Mrs. Aikens made many a visit among her
old friends in this county.

About thirteen years ago he was united

THOMAS.—A sad occurrence in Miles-
burg last week was the death of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Thomas within nine hours
of each other. Mrs. Thomas had been ill
for some time and her death occurred at
two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Mr.
Thomas had been ill only about a week
and his death occurred about eleven
o'clock on Thursday night. The latter
was an old soldier with an honorable rec- :
ord and the two were among Milesburg’s |
most respected residents. Mr. Thomas was |
seventy-two years old and Mrs. Thomas |
sixty-nine. They are survived by several
children. The double funeral was held
on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, burial |
being made in the Milesburg cemetery. !
DECEMBER COURT.—The regular term |
of December court convened on Monday '
morning with Judge Ellis L. Orvis pre-
siding and H. F. Geddis, of Wilkes-Barree,
as court reporter. Owing to the illness
of prothonotary Arthur B. Kimport L. A.
Schaeffer presided as clerk of the court.
After the grand jury had been polled and
sworn, the constables made their returns |
and the list of traverse jurors polled, the
list of cases for the two weeks was gone
over and a number continued until the |
next term of court. |
The first case called for trial was a!
| civil action between Harvey Hoy and the {
overseers of the poor of Benner town-
ship. The action was brought by Mr.
Hoy to recover for board and mainte- |
nance of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Miller
and her two children. The Millers lived
in Bellefonte until two years ago when
they broke up housekeeping, stored their
goods and Mrs. Miller with her two chil-
dren went to the home of her parents in
Benner township. In the spring of 1910
Mr. Hoy and family moved into Spring
township and on May 21st an order of
relief was taken out for Mrs. Miller and
ker children and served on the overseers
cf Benner township. After one order had
been given the overseers investigated and
found that the case rightfully belonged
to Bellefonte and the Bellefonte overseers
were notified and thereafter furnished re-
lief. In the two years she was at home
prior to May 21st, 1910, Mr. Hoy never
received anything for his daughter's
keep, hence the action against the Ben-
