—=TLast Friday noon George Ross
Parker, son of conductor and Mrs. G.
Ross Parker, was taking his father’s
dinner to him at the scales office at
Coleville just at the time when Dr.
John Sebring was on his way to Belie-
fonte from visiting a patient. Just
as they were in the act of passing
each other something happened to the
‘steering gear of the doctor’s car and
it turned off the roadway and ran up
the bank to where the boy was walk-
ing, bumping him quite hard on the
right leg. Though considerably
bruised no bones were broken. The
imjury kept the lad in bed a day or
two, however. :
Deemer Pearce, of State Col-
lege, sealer of weights and measures

Friday and going to the green gro-
cery store of Guy Bonfato, in the
Bush Arcace, purchased a peck of po-
patoes. Going from there to another
store he weighed the package and it
tipped the scales at just 13} ‘pounds,
which was short of the required
weight. He made information against
Bonfato before ’Squire Woodring and
the produce dealer paid the fine of ten
dollars and costs amounting to about
six dollars, at the same time main-
taining that whatever mistake there
was in the sale made to Mr. Pearce
was an error through oversight, and
not done intentionaily as he makes it
a point to keep his scales correct and
give good weight.

TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY.
Refused Right of Appeal to Supreme
Court the Grays Must Serve
Sentence.
Irvin G. Gray and two sons, Clyde
and George were taken to the west-
ern penitentiary on Monday morning
and one of the last things Mr. Gray
Sr. did before leaving Bellefonte was
send a note to the “Watchman” re-
questing the paper sent him in Pitts-
burgh and also a copy sent his aged
father. He also maintained innocence
of the crime of which he and his two
sons had been convicted and express-
ed the hope that the truth would be-
come known some day.
The Grays were arrested in Sep-
tember, 1918, for the alleged theft
and butchering of cattle belonging to
other parties, the latter part of July.
Three separate indictments were
brought against them and they were
tried at the December term of court
on the three cases, each resulting in
a conviction. They immediately ap-
plied for new trials but in due time
the applications were refused and the
court sentenced Irvin G. Gray to serve
not less than two years nor more than
two years and six months in the west-
ern penitentiary on each case, or a to-
tal of from six to seven and a half
years; while Clyde and George were
sentenced to serve not less than two
vears and six months nor more than
three years on each case in the peni-
tentiary, a total of from seven and a
half to nine years.
An appeal was promptly taken to
the Superior court and the case was
argued at Pittsburgh on May 6th.
After a careful consideration of the
testimony in the case the Superior
court refused to order new trials.
Last week an appeal was made for
permission to carry the cases to the
Supreme court but on Friday the pa-
pers were received in which the ap-
peal was denied in the cases of Clyde
and George Gray and also in case No.
108 against Irvin G. Gray while in
cases Nos. 104 and 106 remittiters
were returned granting Irvin G.Gray
the right of appeal on the first assign-
ment of error only, which was that in
charging the jury “the court below
erred in stating that Irvin G. Gray
could be convicted as an accessory
after the fact.”
Following close upon the denial of
the right of appeal to the Supreme
court commitments to the penitentia-
ry were issued by the clerk of the
court of Centre county in the three
cases against Clyde and George Gray
| and in case No. 108 against Irvin G.
Gray and the same placed in the
hands of Sheriff George H. Yarnell,
and on Monday morning that official,
acccmpanied by Milton Kern and Orin
Kline, took the three men to Pitts-
burgh. Whether the attorneys for
Irvin G. Gray will exercise the right
granted the defendant by the Su-
perior court to appeal cases No. 104
and 106 to the Supreme court has not
yet heen determined,” +: co
IRVIN GRAYS’ FAREWELL STATE-
EL Tos MENT.
While waiting for the arrival of the
train to take. them to Pittsburgh Ir--
vin G. Gray prepared the following
statement | which he sent to the
“Watchman” office with the request
‘that it be published:
“We are now ready to take our trip
to Pittsburgh. We have been judged
guilty by the court here, but there is
a much higher court, the great Su-
preg Being, God Almighty, who
nows all things and knows we are in-
nocent which is a wonderful consola-
tion to us at this time.
We have been robbed of our homes
on earth but they cannot take away
from us our hope of homes in Heaven.
This world holds out inducements for
a little while, but they are not lasting |
like the love of God and a home with
Him will be everlasting.
I feel sure that our enemies would
not like to have been tried as we were.
We have been silent up to this time
and the brutal treatment we have re-
ceived no one but God and ourselves
know. I never had a fair trial. I
fense for a suit like ours. They went
to Clyde Gray’s home, where there
was no one but his wife and three
small children, not even clothed with
a warrant, and with base lies shook
their fists under her nose, time after
time, and with threats that they would
take her to jail, compelled her to sign
the paper they wrote which they later
claimed was Clyde Gray’s confession.
Why did they never publish her dying
confession? They had good reasons.
They may escape the courts of this
world. but God says “Vengeance 1s
Mine,” so it is comforting to know
that He will render the final decision
in all of our cases.
Signed, :
IRVIN G. GRAY.
Committed to Glen Mills School.
John Timel, the fourteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Emel,
of Beaver street, was taken to the
Glen Mills school on Wednesday by
sheriff George M. Yarnell and wife
on a charge of robbing the Variety
shop, and while no man or woman can
condone his offenses, and there were
a number of them, there is no ques-
tion but what the family is entitled
to some sympathy.
Young Emel is only fourteen years
old but he has been guilty of stealing
money on various occasions. Some
time ago he broke into the Variety
shop and stole a sum of money. He
was caught shortly afterwards and
after a hearing in juvenile court was
paroled in the custody of his father
on his promise to do better in the fu-
ture. Last Friday he did some work
at the home of John Bullock who gave.
him a half dollar. In the evening he
rode down town on his bicycle, went
to the Kelley bakery and ordered a
quart of ice cream, paying for it in
advance. The lady clerk put the mon-
ey in the cash register then went back
into the kitchen to get the cream.:
When she put the money into the
register the boy evidently noticed
that there was no bell on the register |
and while she was out of the room he
opened the register and took there-
from $25.00. When he was given his |
ice cream he left the store and his!
theft was not discovered for some
minutes thereafter. The matter was
promptly reported to the police and
Saturday morning officer Dukeman
tracked the robbery to young Emel
and succeeded in recovering all but
one dollar of the money. The boy was
arrested and later committed to Glen
Mills on the charge on which he had
previously been paroled.
The persistency with which the boy
has indulged his passion for steal-
ing leads to the belief that he is a
kleptomaniac. He had a comfortable
home; was always well clothed and
had plenty to eat. Ignorance cannot
been assigned as the reason, as he
had completed the work in the grade
schools and would have entered the
Bellefonte High school at the opening
of the session next month. He sang
in a church choir and was a member
of a boy’s band, while he was also
quite adept on the violin. But with
all his ability he could not resist the
temptation to steal and it is to be
hoped that the two or three years he
will spend at the Glen Mills school
will eradicate this disease from his
mind and give him a stability of
character that will enable him to
grow into a good citizen.
The “Watchman” has received
a personal letter from Harry Davis,
the big theatrical man of Pittsburgh,
disclaiming the fact that he or any
one authorized by him even contem-
plated leasing theatres in Bellefonte
and other towns in central’ Pennsyl-
vania; a fact which was revealed in
these columns several weeks ago
when it was discovered that the Har-
ry L. Davis who created such a stir
in theatrical circles here a month or
more ago was a very different Davis
from the Harry Davis of Pittsburgh.

The girls of the Patriotic
League are planning for a big com-
munity sing and festival to be held on
the grounds in front of the new High
school building on Saturday evening,
August 23rd. The sing is not to be
confined to members of the league
but everybody in Bellefonte and sur-
rounding community who can sing
and want to sing are invited to par-
ticipate. And in order that the big
affair can be made an unqualified
success practice sings will be held on
the grounds tomorrow (Saturday)
evening. and on Monday evening.
Everybody is urged to attend these
practice sings and make the welkin
ring with happy, heavenly music.
At the present time, when the
President, members of the cabinet
and Congress are wrestling with the
question of how to reduce the high
cost of living, some people in Belle:
fonte evidently believe. in getting
theirs while the getting is good. Dims
ners at one or more of the eating
houses were increased in price five
cents recently, and last week all: the
shoe repair shops put up prices on all
kinds of work, and the jump they
made is enough to make the public
gasp in astonishment. Work that
used to be done for 20 cents is now
35. Rubber heels on ladies’ shoes will
now cost 65 cents instead of 50, and
the price for halfsoling and heeling
men’s shoes has been made an even
$2.00. All other work will be charged
for according to above rates, from
which it is very evident that the men
who cobble intend to gobble as well.

According to published court
reports of Lycoming county there is a
woman at Jersey Shore who brought
action for desertion and non-support
against her husband after he had re-
mained away from home for four
weeks. The woman has four chil-
dren and at the court hearing it de-
veloped that when the husband left
home he gave his wife $53.00. She
also had access to $75 in Liberty
bonds, $63 in thrift stamps, $49 in
bank, $120 in a Christmas fund, $24
she received from the railroad broth-
erhood and two pigs, and when she
was asked for an accounting of the
money she emptied her pocketbook
and disclosed $16.23, which she claim-
ed was “all the money she had in the
world.” Unfortunately the proceed-
ings didn’t reveal the fact as fo
whether she still had the pig, but if
she got away with the total moneys
above specified, $384.00, all told, less
$10.28, in four weeks the husband got
off cheap with the fifty dollars per
month he was ordered to pay his wife
for the support of herself and chil-
dren. :

Considerable excitement occur-
red in Centre Hall on Tuesday even-
ing when the motor truck of a light-
ning rod agent from Reedsville,
caught fire while taking on a supply
of gas at the Boozer garage. Notic-
ing his supply of gas was running
low the man drove up to the garage
to have it replenished and as he was
| somewhat in a hurry did not stop his
motor. In replenishing the tank
some of the gasoline was spilled and
it almost immediately burst into
flames by coming in contact with the
hot motor. The burning gas and car
caused quite a fire for a few moments
but it was finally extinguished by
‘Mr. Boozer with chemical extinguish-
ers. The top and seat of the truck
were pretty badly burned and the
windshield broken, but the motor, body
of the car and contents, and an extra
tire escaped damage. Considerable
uneasiness was felt for a few minutes
by the men over the possibility of the
gas in the tank igniting and explod-
ing, which would have meant an en-
tirely different story, but fortunately
this did not occur.
TOOK POISON AND DIED
R. E. Reynolds Victim of Bichloride
of Mercury Tablets.
A man named R. E. Reynolds, who
hailed from Foxburg, Pa., and various
other places, took a big dose of bi-
chloride of mercury tablets at State
College last Thursday evening and
died at the Bellefonte hospital about
two o’clock on Monday morning.
It was shortly after six o’clock in
the evening when the hospital receiv-
ed a hurry call to send the ambulance
to State College for a man who had
taken bichloride of mercury. The
ambulance was sent and returned
about 8:30 o’clock with the man who
gave Reynolds as his name as the pa-
tient. Strenuous methods to counter-
act the effect of the poison were at
once resorted to but they were of no
avail and he passed away at the hour
above stated.
According to information from
State College Reynolds made his first
appearance there about two weeks ago
when he went to the College on the
pretense of seeing his wife, who was
taking the summer course for teach-
ers. As the two have not been living
together for some time she refused to
have anything to do with him and he
left the College. Last Wednesday he
showed up again. On Thursday even-
ing he gained access to his wife's
room in McAllister hall and when the
latter appealed to Burgess Holmes
for protection an officer was sent to
round up the intruder. Before he
could get him, however, the man suc-
ceeded in taking one or more tablets
of bichloride of mercury and very
soon afterwards fell unconscious. It
was then that word was sent to the
Bellefonte hospital for the ambulance.
Very little is known of the man, al-
though he gave his age as thirty-sev-
en years and the place of his birth
Canada. The girl he claimed as his
wife, and she is only a girl at that,
knows very little of the early history
of the man, prior to the time she met
him about a year ago. They were
married about seven months ago and
she claimed she refused to live with
him because he would not work and
support her. :
A man who claimed to be a detec-
tive visited Bellefonte and asserted
that the man had been mixed up in
some questionable undertakings but
whether he was the right man or not
will never be known. As soon as she
learned of the seriousness of his con-
dition his wife came to Bellefonte
from State College and remained at
the hospital until he passed away.
She also made arrangements for his
burial with funeral director Hard P.
Harris, who took the remains to his
morgue on Monday morning. Tues-
{ day morning brief services were held
at the morgue by Rev. W. E. Shultz,
of ‘Centre Hall, after which private
burial was made in the Union ceme-
tery. : :
"Reducing the High Cost of Living..
- The “Watchman” fast week told of
the many people ‘wh, went to. the
mountains * on Sundays to gather
huckleberries for family: us
dorsed the method as’g'y
beat the food profite and reduce
the high cost of living. At the time
we did not have concrete facts in our
possession as to the relative cost of
going to the mountains for the huck-
leberries or purchasing them at home,
‘but since then we have obtained fig-
ures which we very gladly publish to
show how three Bellefonte men went
a long ways on Monday in reducing
their high cost of living.
The three men were butcher L. H.
Gettig, Dr. M. A. Kirk and son, Har-
old Kirk. They left Bellefonte at
nine o’clock in the morning and mo-
tored in Mr. Gettig’s automobile to

Major Boal Erecting Monument to
Fallen Comrades.
Major Theodore Davis Boal is erect-
ing a monument at the entrance to
the old camp on his home estate at
Boalsburg as a memorial to those
members of the old Boal machine gun
troop who gave their lives during the
recent war. The monument will be
composed of a cross from one of the
battlefields of France set in the
breach of a captured 77 German can-
non, and mounted on a limestone ped-
estal. A Boche machine gun will al-
so be given a place at the base of the
monument. The names of the soldiers
of the former Boal troop who were
either killed or died in service will be
inscribed on the monument.
‘Saturday afternoon, August 30th,
has been set as the date for the dedi-
cation of the monument and all mem-
bers of the troop are urged to be
present, while other Centre county
soldiers and the public generally are
invited to gttend the ceremonies.
——Mrs. H. S. Cooper on Wednes-
day received a telgram announcing
the arrival in New York on Tuesday
of Major H. R. Cooper, from service
in France. Major Cooper was with
the engineers and saw considerable
hard service during the war but for-
tunately came through it all unscath-
ed. He has been ordered to report at
Washington but if he can do so will
visit Bellefonte before returning to
his home in Texas.

On behalf of the surviving sister
and brothers I wish to extend through
the columns of the “Watchman” our
very sincere thanks to the people of
Bellefonte for their many kindnesses
to the late Lieut. Charles W. Lam-
born, and also for their heartfelt sym-
pathy and respect shown at the time
of his unfortunate death. The one
consoling thought in our great loss is
that his work and his hofme had been
among friends and not strangers.
