Bellefonte Academy News Notes.
The opening game on the Acade-
my’s hard football schedule will be
played on Hughes field tomorrow
afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock, with the
Dickinson College freshmen. The
Carlisle team has never played the
Academy before and naturally much
interest will be awakened in the out-
come of the game. Coach Snavely
has been working hard with his pro-
teges since September 6th, and ex-
pects them to give a good account of
themselves. He has a wonderful
amount of good material, both for the
line and backfield positions, and ex-
pects them to be able to hold their
own with their strongest opponents.
Real college football will be displayed
in this game and a thrilling contest is
anticipated. Because of the expense
incurred in bringing the Dickinson
players here, it will be necessary to
charge an admission price of $1.00.
The annual opening reception took
place at the Academy last Saturday
evening. It assumed the nature of a
double reception to the many new stu-
dents enrolled and to the students of
the Princeton geological expedition
who spent last week in geological re-
search in Centre county. It was a
great pleasure to Messrs. James R.
and Charles S. Hughes to entertain
the representatives of their own Al-
ma Mater. The reception was very
largely attended and the Academy or-
chestra and an orchestra made up of
Princeton students alternated in fur-
nishing delightful music for the occa-
sion. It will be interesting to the
friends of the Academy to note that
students have been enrolled from the
following States: Colorado, North
Carolina, West Virginia, Michigan,
Ohio, New Hampshire, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Texas and
Pennsylvania.

Home Destroyed by Fire.
Frank Dimeo’s home at Valley View
was totally destroyed by fire last
Thursday afternoon leaving the fam-
ily practically destitute, so far as fur-
niture and clothing is concerned.
Frank was shaving at the time and
his wife was resting in another part
of the house. The fire evidently start-
ed on the roof or in the attic for it
was a seething mass of flames before
he discovered it.
A pumper went out from here, but
as there was no water near it could
not be put in service.
The organ, a few chairs and two
trunks were about all that was gotten
out. The parents, with their six chil-
dren were taken in by neighbors, but
they are all in a bad way for clothing
and furniture so that if you have any-
thing in those lines that you don’t
need we’re sure the Dimeos would be
very grateful for it.
Two More Prisoners Escape.
The presence of a detail of state po-
lice at Rockview penitentiary doesn’t
keep prisoners from escaping, as two
inmates made a getaway on Sunday
evening. They were John Meyers and
Harry D. Brubaker, both of Mifflin
county. The former was a driver and
the latter a stable man, and both left
from the barn at which they were
working. Meyers was serving a one
to two years sentence for escaping
from prison on a former occasion and
had but five more months to serve.
Brubaker was convicted of felonious
entry and larceny and his term would
have expired in August, 1925.

MANY CRIMINAL CASES MAKE
A BUSY WEEK IN COURT.
Violators of the Liquor Laws and the
Moral Codes Reveal Much Sad-
ness and Depravity Among
Our People.
The regular September term of
quarter sessions court convened here
Monday morning with a record break-
ing attendance. This was due to the
large number of cases listed for trial
and the fact that the Musser murder
case has excited much interest.
All the regular court officers were
in their place and Lincoln Swartz, of
Hublersburg, was appointed foreman
of the grand jury. He got his fellow
jurymen together at once and began
work on the 39 bills of indictment
that were presented. That the graud
jury had a busy time is evidenced by
the fact that it didn’t get through
with its work and file its usual report
until yesterday afternoon. Of the 39
bills acted on it found all but 3 true
ones.
Owing to the amount of time dis-
trict attorney Dale had to give the
grand jury in its deliberations on the
Musser case the court appointed for-
mer district attorney James C. Furst
an assistant attorney to keep the tri-
als moving in the court room. Other-
wise court might have been in session
two weeks longer.
MANY CRIMINAL CASES DISPOSED OF.
Of the long list of criminal cases up
for this term many had been disposed
of before court convened. They were
mainly liquor law violations and es-
capes from the penitentiary and upon
pleas of guilty the court sentenced the
convicted parties a week or more ago
at which time the “Watchman” pub-
lished the list with details. These
that actually came to trial were as
follows:
Commonwealth vs. Grafford Casher,
of Snow Shoe, betrayal. Prosecutrix,
Rebecca Beals. Defendant plead not
guilty, went to trial and was convict-
ed. He was sentenced to pay a fine of
$100, costs of prosecution, $25.00 ly-
ing in expenses and $3.00 a week for
seven years, if the child shall survive
that long, and to give security to the
overseers of the poor of his district
for the faithful carrying out of the
sentence. Casher went to jail in pref-
erence to paying the sum.
Com. vs. Edson D. Pierce, an assist-
ant car repairer at Harrisburg. Be-
trayal. Prosecutrix, Elizabeth Gray,
of Halfmoon valley. Defendant plead
guilty and was given the sentence as
in the above case. He gave surety for
faithful compliance and was releas-
ed.
Com. vs. George Molchosky and
Paul Yatcik, of Snow Shoe. This
case grew out of the burning of the
Lehigh Coal Co’s tipple No. 26, in Oc-
tober, 1923. It was the time of the
coal strike out there. . Molchosky ran
away and was arrested later in West
Virginia. He was charged with hav-
ing set fire to the tipple and Yatcik
was involved as an accessory after the
fact. They plead guilty and both were
sentenced to the Huntingdon reforma-
tory, but next morning, after the court
had learned something more of Mol-
chosky’s age and character, he was
recalled and given from three to six
years in the western penitentiary.
Probably the most pathetic case be-
fore the court was that of the Com.
vs. Foster Walker, of Liberty town-
ship, charged with betrayal. The
prosecutrix, Alice Ayers, -of Curtin
township, appeared to be a poor, af-
flicted character of very low mental-
ity. Walker denied on the stand that
he had ever had anything to do with
her, but the jury thought otherwise
so he was convicted and given sen-
tence as in other cases of this sort
and went to jail in default of compli-
ance.
Commonwealth vs. Carrie White, of
Rock Forge. Charge, forgery of the
name of J. Fred Musser to a check of
$32.00 payable to Mrs. George Dale.
She was charged with having present-
ed it at the Foster shoe store at State
College in payment for a pair of
boots, Mr. Foster having given her the
change in cash and later finding the
check refused by the Peoples Nation- |!
al bank at State College as a forgery.
Mr. Foster was some time in locating
the woman but finally thought he rec-
ognized her on the street and found
her name to be Carrie White. Later
he caused her arrest, but the woman
went on the stand and swore that she
had never been in his store and the
jury took her statement as against
that of Foster and another man who
had been in the store at the time who
positively swore that she was the
woman. It found her not guilty, but
put the costs on her. Inconsistent
verdict, wasn’t it?
Commonwealth vs. Doyle Kioski,
formerly of Snow Shoe, but now of
Jersey Shore. Charge, betrayal. Pros-
ecutrix Clara Dietz, of Snow Shoe. It
appears that after she had made in-
formation against Kioski she went
down to visit his family at Jersey
Shore with the hope of getting him to
marry her. While there she was per-
suaded to charge Gerald Fohner, of
Kewaydin, with being her betrayer
also. She swore to the statement and
appeared in. court in the position of
charging two men with being the fath-
er of one and the same child. The
court took the case of Kioski from the
jury and discharged him. That
against Fohner was dismissed on the
same grounds.
Com. vs. Blaine White. Betrayal.
Prosecutrix Dorothy Coble, of Rock
Forge. White is a married man and
was accused by the Coble girl of being
the father of her second child. He is
a son of the Mrs. Carrie White who
a charge than the testimony of two
was acquitted of forgery on Tuesday.
The jury found him guilty and asked
the mercy of the court. The court
announced that only one sentence was
permissible in the - circumstances—
“If I sentence him.” . White moved for
a new trial.
Com. vs. William Dando, of Julian.
Charge, unlawful possession of intox-
icating liquors. Mrs. Julia Parsons,
of Unionville, was prosecutrix but her
case fell for want of personal knowl-
edge. All she knew was hearsay so
she was dismissed. Two state po-
licemen were there and two empty
jugs and two small jars were toted in,
but nobody could put anything on
Dando. It was the farm of Mrs.
Beals on which the evidence had been
procured. Dando lived there, of
course, because Mrs. Beals is his
mother-in-law, but they could prove
nothing on him. The court ordered
the jury to render a verdict of not
guilty from the box and then told
Dando that he was hiding behind his
mother-in-law’s petticoats and had
better go straight hereafter or he'll
treat him rough. Mrs. Beals plead
guilty some time ago and on Saturday
was sent to jail for three months, giv-
en a fine of $500 and costs.
Com. vs. Jack- White. Charge, un- |
lawful possession of liquor. Prosecu- |
trix Mrs. Julia Parsons, of Union- |
ville. Mrs. Parsons again had only
hearsay evidence. State officer Daw-
son made the arrest after finding
White in charge of 14 gallons of
moonshine and 10 barrels of mash on
the Campbell farm near Julian. There
were two stills. working at the time.
After the case had proceeded so far
as the prosecution’s evidence Mr.
Bower, for the defendant, explained to
the court that White was not employ-
ed on the place, merely staying there
for a while with Mrs. Beals while
awaiting money to take him to the
Pacific coast. The court then talked
to White and suspended sentence, or-
dering him to pay the costs.
Com. vs. Graves Shay, of Bellefonte,
charged with illegal possession of li-
quor and disturbing the peace of his
neighborhood. Shay plead guilty but
said his family fights were largely
provoked by his wife. The court pa-
roled him on good behavior for a year
and ordered him to pay the costs and
digest the stern lecture he was given.
A bench warrant was issued for
James Ryan, who works at the Lock
Haven paper mill, and failed to appear
to answer a'charge of fornication pre-
ferred by Roxanna Yeager.
A peculiar kink in the law saved
Lloyd Johnstonbaugh, of State Col-
lege, from trial here for the betrayal
of Emily Barnhill, a very pretty lit-
tle girl, of the same place. It was
discovered that owing to her physical :
condition she had to be sent to a home
in Allegheny county where her child |
was born. Because of its birth there
in face of the evidence presented which
seemed to.indicate 'that'it ‘was.a case
of justifiable homicide. Accordingly
Auman was brought ‘back into court,
directed to change his plea to one of
“not guilty” and go to trial, which
looks as if a jury will be directed to
find a verdict for the defendant.
The work was all cleaned up early
yesterday afternoon when a start was
made at drawing a jury for the Mus-
ser murder case.
Com. vs. Theo. Taylor, of Boals-
burg, and George Long, of State Col-
lege. Charged with illegal transpor-
tation and possession of liquor. Tay-
lor, Long and a Miss Rudy went to the
Granger’s picnic in Long’s car. Some-
how a dynamite box got into the car
with them. When they arrived on the
picnic grounds state police found that
the box contained liquor and not dy-
namite. Taylor said he knew nothing
about whose box it was or what was
in it. Long said ditto. The jury said
that Taylor should be discharged be-
cause of evidence he gave to the state
police but declared Long guilty. He
was given a year in jail.

and beating up his eighty year old
mother while a suspended sentence :
was hanging over him.
BILLS IGNORED BY THE GRAND JURY
Com. vs. E. L. Reminsnyder, of Phil-
ipsburg, charged with manslaughter
for killing while driving a car in a
drunken condition.
Com. vs. Jos. Grafmyer. Violating
the liquor laws.
Com. vs. Jos. H. Hull. Making and
delivering a worthless check.
MANY CIVIL CASES ARE CONTINUED.
Of the sixteen cases on the civil
list calendar for trial this week all but
seven have been continued to the De-
cember term. Three of the seven have
been tried this week and the other four |
come to issue next week. The ones
held over for next week because of
the murder trial are:
H. L. Orr vs. Mrs. Julia Peters and
Edward Peters, her husband. Eject-
ment.
Paul Kassob, Isaac Kassob and Cas-
per Kassob, trading as Kassob Broth-
ers vs. H. A. Laura B. and John E.

tor Co. Trespass with a plea of not
| guilty.
John Watkins vs. James L. Leath-
ers. Assumpsit.

issue.
The civil cases tried were those of
the Centre county court was discover-
ed to have no jurisdiction. While |
Judge Quigley dismissed the proceed- |
ing he directed that a persentment |
against Johnstonbaugh be made to the
courts of Allegheny county.
The case of Perry Detweiler, of
Spring Mills, one of the liquor violat-
ors, was continued until December be-
cause of the absence of an important
witness.
The assault and battery charge
against John Bachelor, of Philipsburg,
was quashed on motion of his attor-
ney, M. Ward Fleming, when it was
shown that he had been returned
twice by the justice for the same of-
fense. The law does not allow a per-
son to be put in jeopardy more than
once for any offense.
Com. vs. Howard Cole and John
Matley, of Philipsburg, and E. L.
Remsnyder, of Bigler. Charge, op-
erating an automobile while drunk
and transporting liquor. This case
grew out of an accident that occurred
on the highway between Snow Shoe
and Clarence last May. The three de-
fendants with William Harvey Nel-
son, a Philipsburg carpenter, were
driving to Clarence when a front
wheel on their car collapsed. This
threw the car against a culvert head-
ing with such suddenness that Nelson
was catapulted out into the ditch. He
was picked up and brought to the hos-
pital here where he died the same day.
It had been charged that Remsnyder,
owner and driver of the car, was drunk
and caused the death of Nelson be-
cause he was in no condition to drive.
The Commonwealth could produce no
evidence that he was drunk or had
been drinking that day and as there
was nothing more to substantiate such
eye witnesses to the accident, who
said they had found a small bottle
partially filled with something they
neither smelled nor tasted, in the ditch
near Nelson, the court directed the
jury to find a verdict of not guilty and
placed the costs on the county.
Com. vs. W. R. Lamoreaux, of Phil-
ipsburg. Defendant was formerly a
state policeman but is now in the drug
business. He was charged by Ray-
mond E. Askey with having kept and
converted to his own use a $350 dia-
mond pin that was only loaned to
him. Not tried yet.
Com. vs. Theo. Taylor. Charge, un-
lawful possession and transportation
of liquor. :
The case of the Com. vs. Frank Au-
man which was partially disposed of
at the May term was up for final dispo-
sition which has been continued to
December. It will be recalled that
Auman struck constable Hugh H. Gil-
lette with a pick handle during an al-
tercation out in Snow Shoe township
on last April 3rd. Gillette died in the
Lock Haven hospital from the effects
of the injury. Auman came into
court, plead guilty and asked the court
to fix the degree of his crime. The
court then heard part of the Common-
wealth’s testimony and came to the
conclusion that it did not care to take

ing as State College Cimmission Co.
wheat which Shoemaker made to
| the defendant. He contended that he
sold it as wheat at $1.31 a bush-
el, which the defendant later re-
fused to pay because when the grain
reached an eastern market it was
graded much lower than No. 2 and
could only be paid for on the basis of
its grading. The jury found a verdict
of $337.80 for the prosecutor.
The next case was that of M. F.
Calderwood vs. A. Rushnock, of Snow
Shoe. It was to recover for the price
of a horse Calderwood had sold Rush-
nock. The latter testified that he
found, after trial, that the animal was
balky and returned it to Calderwood.
The verdict was for the defendant.
The “White Cargo.”
Any attraction that can run contin-
{ uously for two years in New York and
still play to turn away business must
contain all that is best in theatrical
endeavor. Not only has the Metro-
politan city placed its stamp of ap-
proval on “White Cargo,” the dramat-
ic sensation of the age, but London
audiences have also proclaimed it one
of the best plays seen there in a de-
cade—Chicago and Boston also have
their special companies playing with
equal success.
“White Cargo” was written by Le-
on Gordon and is a vivid love play of
the tropics, it is in three acts and six
scenes; in writing this play Mr. Gor-
don has made no conscientious effort
to create or eliminate sensationalism,
but has faithfully portrayed Africa as
it really is, with its eternal sunshine
and rot—a rot which penetrates the
minds and hearts of those white men
who attempt to civilize a country that
defies their encroachment.
The play abounds in intense dra-
matic situations; with a love story
that has an angle quite different from
the ordinary run found in plays of to-
day; the comedy is clean cut and sub-
tle. If you enjoy thrills that are true
to life with the passions let loose,
comedy sufficient to relieve the tears
and an acting company of Broadway
stars each one a master of their re-
spective arts and all set in a scenic
environment that is true to its locali-
ty then you cannot afford to miss the
sensational wonder of the stage to-
day. “White Cargo” wil send you
away from the Moose Temple theatre
on Wednesday night, Octobe1 Ist, well
satisfied that you have not s:ent an
evening in vain.
The Reading and Allentown papers
gave this play and players most com-
plimentary notices last week. Ac-
cording to them it is a problem play
of progressively intense interest.

many years a well known resident of
Bellefonte, was found dead on the
floor of his bedroom about 8:30 o’clock
yesterday morning. He had not been
feeling well on Wednesday but his

known resident of Milesburg, died
very suddenly between-twelve and one
o'clock on Sunday night. For some
time past he had been suffering with
kidney and heart trouble but on Sun-
