Orvis . —— | to be hung. To CORRESPONDENTS. —No communications | 1he fact had become pretty generally wublished unless accompanied by the real name | known that sentence was to be imposed carriers. 1 BERT DELIGE SENTENCED. —Bert Delige, the colored man convicted of the murder of Mrs. Hulda Baudis, was on Saturday that morning and when court convened filled with those interested in hearing the sentence pronounced. The prisoner was brought into court and throughout the entire ordeal maintained the same stoical indifference so marked during the three days he was on trial for his life, apparently less concerned than any man | in the court room. Before pronouncing sentence Judge | Orvis called the prisoner to the bar I and gave him a brief review of] his hfe. He told him that he must’ have been born with all the instincts of an outlaw to have the notorious career he has had in his short life. That from boyhood he had figured in various esca- pades and while only in his teens he had shot and wounded a boy in an attempt to shoot the lad’s father. For this mis- demeanor he was tried at a term of quar- ter sessions court, convicted and sent to the reformatory,where he wasgiven every opportunity to learn to be a better man and useful citizen. But it seemed to be without avail. He had not been out of the reforma- tory but a year or so until he carelessly and wantonly shot Ralph Willlams, from the effect of which the boy died in iess than ten hours. Again the law was lenient and gave him the benefit of the doubt, preferring to take his claim, and that of his attorneys, that the shooting was more the result of an accidental discharge of his gun than of deliberation. At that, how- ever, he was convicted of murder in the second degree but the verdict was set aside by the court and a plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter accepted instead. For this he was sentenced to the peniten- tiary for three years, but for good be- havior was released in 1908 after serving about two vears and six months. There again, the court continued, he had an op- portunity to profit by his punishment and resolve to lead a better life. But ali the leniency shown him by the law in the past failed in consummating a reformation and on October 16th he committed his gravest and most dastard- ly crime. The court briefly reviewed the facts in connection with this case, which | are so well known as to need no repeti- tion here, then told the prisoner that notwithstanding the heinousness of his offence the law still safeguarded him well. Able counsel were assigned to defend him, he was tried before God and his country by a jury of his peers and was given every chance that it was possible to give him. Referring to his two con- fessions the court stated that while they revealed the motive of the crime and ex- plained in all the horrible details how it was committed, they were not a neces- sary factor to his conviction. That he had written the story of his crime by his footprints in the clay and sands about Scotia and in the ineffacable spots of human blood, the blood of his innocent and helpless victim. : The court then asked the prisoner if | he had anything to say why the sentence : of the court should not be pronounced | upon him and Delige responded “Nosir,” in a firm voice. ) In a voice trembling with emotion and with his eyes wet with tears Judge Orvis then said: “And now, Bert Delige, the sentence of the court is that you be taken hence to the Centre county jail, there you be kept in solitary confinement and closely guard- ed until such time as shall be named by the Governor of this Commonwealth; that you then be taken thence to the place of execution within the walls of said jail and there be hanged by the neck until you are | dead, and may God Almighty have mercy | upon your soul.” i Delige was at once taken back to the | jail and will be kept continually under close guard to see that no effort is made | to escape or towards self-destruction. The findings and sentence of the Centre county court have already been certi- fied to the Governor and it is now up to him to name the day of execution. On the same morning William F. Kes- singer, of Eagleville, convicted of assault battery, was sentenced the court to pay a fine of twenty-five costs i.

Tuesday night on his way to State College to | Oats, old and enjoy the advantages of three day's at the Farm- er's Week exercises. Mr. Wurtz is a coal operator and quite wealthy but he recently purchased a farm for a summer home and in order to ac- quaint himself with up-to-date methods of agri- culture he decided on this trip to the college. =0. J. Stover, of Eagleville, was in town Tues- day evening looking after a little business that he could attend to between trains. For some unac- countable reason we had gotten it into our head that he had moved off to Tennessee again, hence the surprise at seeing him. He is keeping house alone now, his sister having moved away and ex- pects to remain in Eagleville at least until spring. —Among our callers on Tuesday afternoon were Charles Murray, of Tyrone, and Mrs. Ferd Beezer, of Spring Creek.-«Mr. Murray formerly lived at Julian where he was section boss on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad but when he was re! tired on a pension he moved to Tyrone. He was down here for a brief visit at the Ferd Beezer home, Mrs. Beezer before her marriage having been an inmate of the Murray family for years. —J. Willard Barnhart dropped in for a brief call Tuesday evening and just naturally we got to talking about teacher's institute. About the time we had arrived at the conclusion that institute doesn’t make the stir in Bellefonte that it once did we both wakened up to realize that we are old married men now and that probably accounts for our thinking that the Institutes are going stale.

It seemed to us that they all looked decidedly placid to have gone through many of the cussins out that falls to the lot of the average assessor, but then, we presume, they are the kind of assessors who do everything s0 well that there are no such unpleasantnesses following their valuations. If so, we congratulate both Philipsburg and the gentlemen in question. The following discounts will be allowed on ad- vertisements continued for Four weeks, and under three mes. 1 perct.
