CATTLE AND HOG KILLERS
ARRESTED.
Two Men Confess to Killing Hog in
Brood Pen of Western Peniten-
tiary and Carrying home
the Meat.
George Taylor, his wife, Mabel Em-
il Shawley Taylor, and Paul Hetrick,
a discharged convict from the west-
ern penitentiary, were arrested on
Tuesday on the charge of killing a
two year old Jersey-Guernsey heifer
belonging to Edgar Fisher, of Bald
Eagle valley, and converting the meat
to their own use, and their arrest un-
covered the very sensational fact that
on the night of November 9th or 10th
the two men drove to the western
penitentiary at Rockview where Tay-
lor climbed into the brood pens, stuck
his knife into a 125 pound hog and
after it had bled to death they hoist-
ed it out of the pen and carted it to
their home in the old Charles Schad
house on Muncy mountain. The offi-
cers who made the arrests on Tues-
day found the meat of the hog as well
as the heifer.
The start of this story dates back
to November 14th and the scene on the
old Kitchen farm below Milesburg
now owned and occupied by Edgar
Fisher and family. Mr. Fisher has a
nice herd of young cattle and on the
14th of November they were pasturing
in a clearing on the side of the moun-
tain in Kitchen’s gap, some distance
from the farm buildings. Mr. Fish-
er’s boys were up in the clearing on
the date above mentioned and found
all the cattle there. The next day
when they went to drive them in to
the barn the Jersey-Guernsey heifer,
the pet of the flock, was missing. Mr.
Fisher went to the clearing to inves-
tigate and found the head of his prize
heifer, evidence that the young ani-
mal had been killed and carried away.
The next day he came to Bellefonte
and consulted district attorney James
C. Furst. The result was that Mr.
Furst accompanied him to the clear-
ing and they were able to follow the
trail where the carcass of the animal
had been dragged down the mountain
and across a small run, the overflow
from the Milesburg reservoir, where
they found the forequarters of the
beef, the animal having been cut in
two and the hindquarters carried off.
Investigations were carried on quiet-
ly up until Monday of this week and
every trail led to the Schad house on
the mountain, occupied by the Tay-
lors and Hetrick. The result was a
search warrant was sworn out and on
Tuesday morning sheriff Harry Duke-
man, constable Howard Smead and
policeman W. H. Geissinger went to
the Schad place where they found
Mrs. Taylor and Hetrick. They were
both placed under arrest and a search
of the cellar revealed the meat of the
heifer salted down, and also the meat
of a hog. The meat was confiscated,
as well as the tools with which the
killing had been done and the woman
and man brought to the Centre coun-
ty jail. Taylor was working at the
Titan Metal company and he was ar-
rested a little later.
After their arrest both men agreed
in the story that on the evening of
November 14th they took a twenty-
four calibre rifle and decided to go
down to where a flock of wild turkeys
had been roosting and shoot a turkey
on the roost. To get there they had
to cross the clearing in which Fish-
er's young cattle were pasturing.
Most of the cattle ran at their ap-
proach except the heifer, which, being
a pet, made no attempt tc get away.
Being in need of meat the men decid-
ed to kill the heifer and Hetrick shot
the animal. After cutting off the
head and taking the insides out they
dragged the carcass down to the run
mentioned above but could not get it
up to their mountain home, as it
weighed about 300 pounds. They then
decided to cut it in two, take the hind
quarters up first and go back for the
forequarters, but by the time they
got the hind quarters home and cut
up it was after midnight and they did
not go back after the rest of the
meat.
It was while the men were being
quizzed after their arrest that the sto-
ry of the killing of the hog and car-
rying it away from the western pen-
itentiary came out. ae
Taylor has served time in the
western penitentiary for bigamy and
his wife has also been before the
court on several occasions. Hetrick
is from York county, having been
sent to the eastern penitentiary from
there. He spent fourteen months in
that institution and was then trans-
ferred to the western penitentiary at
Pittsburgh and thirty days later to
Rockview. After seven months at
Rockview he was discharged almost a
year ago and for some months work-
ed at the Whiterock quarries. Of
late, however, he had been living with
the Taylors on Muncy mountain.
Col. Reynolds Elected President of

Stabbing Affray Uncovers Peculiar
Marital Situation.
Joseph Carvelli, whose Italian name
is Guiseppie Carvelli, was the victim
of a stabbing affair by his supposed
wife, Pasqualine Presta, on Sunday
evening, and the fact that the woman
was devoid of skill in the handling of
the knife is the only reason why Car-
velli is alive today. The unpleasant
incident also revealed a peculiar mar-
ital situation in the lives of the two
people.
According to the story Pasqualine
Presta, or “Pauline,” as she is now
known, came to this country quite re-
cently to marry one of her country-
men who had courted her neath Ita-
ly’s sunny skies. But when she ar-
rived she discovered that cupid and
the fickle god of fortune had played
her false, as her swarthy suitor had
married another woman. Instead of
pining her life away she promptly
looked around for another available
man and soon found him in the person
of Joseph Carvelli, and on October
20th they went to the register’s office
in the court house and took out a
marriage license.
The long, legal looking paper given
to them they believed a testimony of
civil marriage and they at once went
to housekeeping up at Morristown, in
Buffalo Run valley, Mr. Carvelli be-
ing in the employ of the American
Lime & Stone company. Notwith-
standing the fact that they started
right in to live togethher as soon as
they received the marriage license
they decided to have a religious cere-
mony performed and had their bans
read in the Catholic church, intending
to have the church rite performed on
Wednesday morning of this week.
On Sunday evening, however, they
quarreled, but the cause thereof could
not be learned. In any event the
woman grabbed a new butcher knife
from the table and attacked her hus-
band. He received several cuts on
the left hand in an endeavor to ward
off her blows but finally she struck
him on the right breast with such
force that the knife penetrated all his
clothing, cut a gash on his breast sev-
eral inches in length, and the point
of the knife striking the bone was
snapped off at the hilt.
Neighbors hurried in and the wom-
an was taken into custody and placed
in the Centre county jail. Carvelli
was brought to Bellefonte and taken
to a physician’s office who soon as-
certained that his wounds were not
serious and after dressing them he
returned home.
On Monday morning Carvelli went
to the district attorney’s office and
told the story of his domestic trou-
bles and while he preferred no charge
against the woman he insisted that
the district attorney give him a di-
vorce right away, quick. On being
told that getting a divorce took
months of time he instructed Mr.
Furst to start at once. The latter be-
gan to investigate and it was then
discovered that the pair had not been
married at all.
The woman in the case, after being
taken to jail refused to talk and ap-
peared quite ill and a physician being
summoned found her suffering with a
bad case of tonsilitis. Her actions in
general were so queer that the court
appointed a commission to inquire in-
to her condition and after a complete
examination the commission reported
that they found her of unsound mind.
Whether this has been caused by her
illness, could not be determined, but
it is just possible that her condition
was the reason for her aggravated at-
tack upon her husband.
A Peculiar Auto Fire.
During the latter part of last week
a gentleman from Snow Shoe drove
his Chevrolet coupe to the Decker
Bros. garage on south Water street
to have some minor repairs made.
The car was run into the garage and
stored temporarily among a lot of
other cars. On Monday when work-
men had time to look the car over
they discovered that a large portion
of the inside of the body had been
burned. Inasmuch as some one was
in the garage all day on Sunday,
when there was no indication of a
fire, it is presumed it occurred on
Sunday night. The flames, however,
did not reach the gas tank and did not
break out through the sides or top,
and the general belief is that lack of
air in the closed coupe caused the fire
to die out before it gained enough
headway to break out through the
sides or top of the car.
County Institute of Y. P. Workers.
Every county in the State is being
instructed in the big advance move-
ment of the churches and Sunday
schools in securing more effective and
co-operative work for young people
of the State. A staff of specialists
are being sent out by the State Sun-
day School association to conduct in-
stitutes in every county. Miss Esth-
er I. Williams, associate director of
Y. P. work, was assigned to Centre
county and the institute was held on
Monday afternoon and evening, in the
Methodist church, Bellefonte. Twen-
ty-three Sunday schools were repre-
sented and the attendance fifty-three.
The coming merger of the denomina-
tional Y. P. societies was explained
and the unified program of work out-
lined. Interesting discussions on the
every day problems of the school and
church were discussed very frankly.

A Small But Earnest Meeting for the |
Hospital. *
Probably no more than eighty peo-
ple responded to the call for a county
meeting to discuss the future of the
Bellefonte hospital last Monday night.
It was a small but very earnest gath-
ering and so interested were those
who did attend that it was almost
eleven o’clock before they adjourned.
Judge Quigley called the meeting to
order. After a brief resume of the
purpose for which it had been called
he asked for nominations for a perma-
nent chairman. The Hon. A. G. Mor-
ris was nominated, but declined and
then Dr. A. M. Schmidt was named
and elected.
Dr. Schmidt called on Geo. R. Meek,
president of the board of trustees of
the hospital, for a statement of its
present financial condition and an ex-
pression of the board’s thoughts as to
what should be done to insure the hos-
pital’s future and render the institu-
tion more efficient in its service to the
public. Mr. Meek referred, of course,
to the recommendations of Mr.
Wright, the New York expert, which
were published in the county papers
last week and then showed that the
hospital deficit for the year 1922-23
was $734.14. This, with outstanding
bills contracted prior to June 1st,
1922, and unpaid, made the indebted-
ness for current bills $2,823.42 on
June 1st, 1923. As the hospital will
receive $4000.00 per annum less from
the State for the next two years than
it has in the past and as its income
will probably not be greater than it
was last year it is reasonable to as-
sume that on June 1st, 1925, its pres-
ent current debt will have grown to
be $12,291.70. That is if there is no
public movement to make up for the
apparent annual deficit of $734.14 and
the $8,000 reduction in the State aid.
It will be recalled that Mr. Wright
suggested changes in the building at
an approximate cost of $75,000. This
item added to the maintenance needs
above stated made it appear that if it
was deemed practicable to go ahead
it would be necessary to raise nearly
$100,000.00.
General discussion followed as to
the possible success of such an under-
taking. Mr. Goodling, Rev. Romick,
Mr. James Aikens, Mr. Harvey and
Mr. Scott, the State College delega-
tion, all spoke. Prof. C. L. Gramley
and Mr. Detweiler, of Rebersburg,
spoke. Judge Quigley, John Blanch-
ard Esq., Roy Wilkinson, Robert F.
Hunter, James R. Hughes and others
from Bellefonte entered into the dis-
cussion; all of them expressing the
earnest conviction that the hospital is
rendering a distinct service and
should be carried on.
Then Rev. Romick divulged that
State College borough is contemplat-
ing the building of a hospital of its
own and the propriety and necessity
of such a venture was discussed. The
conclusion is to this new angle of the
situation was to the effect that it
would be better to have one good hos-
pital than two that would have to
fight always for existence especially
since it was revealed that experience
has proven that one fifty bed institu-
tion will serve all the normal needs of
a community no greater in population
than Centre county. When it was
taken into consideration that Philips-
burg and Rush township are already
served by the Cottage State hospital
in Philipsburg it became apparent
that the Bellefonte hospital is ample
to serve all the remaining sections of
the county.
In the light of this conclusion the
State College folks decided to consult
with and advise their Chamber of Com-
merce of the apparent inexpediency of
undertaking a hospital movement for
that place. Largely on the ground
that it would be better to have one
well supported than two struggling
institutions; especially since State
College could have its own ambu-
lance and get patients here in very
little longer time than it would re-
quire to move them to an institution
located there.
Rev. Maynard moved that it be re-
corded as the expression of the meet-
ing that the project to raise $100,000
be endorsed. There was a rising vote
on the question and all but four voted
aye.
While it was not as large nor rep-
resentative a gathering as was hoped
for the spirit of the meeting was
plainly for a drive. The hospital
board will probably meet tonight to
consider ways and means of conduct-
ing the campaign, though nothing
final will be done until after the State
College people have been given oppor-
tunity to discuss the suggestion that
they abandon their project and join
in the move to convert our institution
into one central county hospital that
will serve all and be supported by all
outside of those served by the hospi-
tal at Philipsburg.
Will Drink a Cup of Tea and be
Sociable.
Everybody up in Ferguson town-
ship knows Rev. D. Y. Brouse, pastor
of the Methodist church at Mount Un-
ion. He is a brother of W. H. Brouse,
of Boalsburg, and until quite recent-
ly his mother lived at Pine Grove
Mills. The pastor evidently is not
getting the desired kind of team work
{from his congregation, according to
the way he talked to his members on
Sunday evening.
“You're not sociable and friendly
enough,” he said, and some of the old-
er people appeared terribly shocked,
while others simply smiled. “Many of
you visit friends after church and
have a cup of tea, etc.,” he continued.
“Next Sunday evening, after the ser-
mon, we'll all go to the church social
room and have an informal chat over
a cup of coffee or tea. It may serve
to make you more genial.”

——Some two weeks ago the Bell
Telephone company of Pennsylvania
advertised a sale of twenty million
dollar’s worth of stock. Within ten
days the amount was two and a half
times subscribed, notwithstanding the
fact that not more than twenty shares
were sold to any one individual. Con-
siderable of the stock was sold to pa-
trons of the company in Centre coun-
ty; in fact more applications were re-
ceived than can be filled when the al-
lotment is made.
