ONLY PETTY CASES TRIED
IN COURT THIS WEEK.
Grand Jury Ignores Assault and Bat-
tery Cases Against State
Policemen.
The regular May session of court
opened on Monday morning with
Judge Arthur C. Dale presiding. Less
than half a dozen petitions were pre-
sented for the court’s approval.
The list of grand jurors was called
and out of twenty-four- summoned
nineteen reported for duty. Howard
Holzworth, of Unionville, was . ap-
pointed foreman and after being
sworn and given the usual instructions
by the court they retired to the room
on the first floor of the court house,
arranged for their convenience to con-
sider the bills of indictment presented
for their consideration.
The list of constables in the county
was called by prothonotary Roy Wil-
kinson without bringing forth a single
report.
The list of traverse jurors was call-
ed, thirteen of whom had already been
excused by the court and one failed to
report. Four others were excused
making a total of eighteen.
John Haldeman, of Pleasant Gap,
was brought into court by sheriff E.
R. Taylor and entered a plea of guilty
to illegal possession of intoxicating
liquor. He was sentenced to pay a
fine of one doliar and costs and under-
go imprisonment in the county jail for
not less than six months nor more
than one year.
Monday afternoon Harry M. Hoy,
of Spring Mills, entered a plea of
guilty to illegal possession and W. D.
Zerby Esq., made a plea for leniency
in his behalf on the grounds that the
whiskey in his possession had been
purchased for his own use, as he was
seriously afflicted with asthma, and
that he had not sold any nor offered
any for sale. And further, that infor-
mation had been made against him as
a result of his being a witness for the
Commonwealth in another liquor case
tried at the February term of court.
The court suspended sentence for a
period of three years upon the pay-
ment of costs but stipulated that Mr.
Hoy must report to ’Squire Jamison
every thirty days.
The first case taken up for trial
was that of the Commonwealth vs.
Edw. Fye and Foster Quick, charged
with assault and battery, aggravated
assault and battery, assault and
battery with intent to kill and assault
Thomas Fannon ‘was the prose-
eutor in the ; case, although
the assault was committed upon her
step-father, Cyrus Schnarrs. The
case was from Moshannon and the as-
sault was committed on the evening of
September 2nd, 1924. The Schnarrs,
the Fyes and the Quicks are neigh-
bors in the little village of Moshan-
non but had evidently not been living
in peace and harmony. On the even-
ing in question Fye and Quick caught
Schnarrs on his way to the postoffice
and beat him up to that extent that he
was unconscious for three days. Their
excuse for so doing was that he had’
hit one of the Fye children with a
stone.
The case took up all of Monday
afternoon’s session and a portion of
Tuesday morning. John G. Love rep-
resented the Commonwealth in lieu of
district attorney Ivan Walker, whose
time was occupied with the grand
jury, while W. Groh Runkle handled
the case for the defendants. Judge
Dale delivered his charge to the jury
on Tuesday morning, occupying but
fifteen minutes of time. The jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty on the first,
second and fourth counts, and not
guilty on the third count. Counsel
for defense promptly served notice
that an application for -a new trial
would: be filed.
At the termination of the above
case H. C. Williams plead guilty to
the charge of larceny preferred by
the Potter-Hoy Hardware company,
and in a statement to the court ad-
mitted , having taken one knife and
four or five flashlights. He stated
that he had given one or two of the
flashlights to Millard Cowher and
tained that neither of the men knew
they were stolen property. The court
suspended sentence on Mr. Williams
for a period of three years on condi-
tion that he pay the costs within one
month and make restitution to the
Potter-Hoy company to the value of
the goods stolen admonishing him
however, that if he became intoxicat-
ed at any time during the period of
the suspension of the sentence ‘he
would have him brought up for sen-
tence.
The next case taken up was that of
the Commonwealth vs. Harry Woom-
er, charged by his divorced wife.
Ruth Barnes, with rape and assault
and battery. The case was from Phil-
ipsburg where the couple lived at the
time the wife was granted a divorce
on May 2, 1924. She resumed her maid-
en name and with her two children es-
tablished a littie home at Gordon
Heights, near Philipsburg. It was
while living there on November 22nd,
1924, that her divorced husband visit-
ed her and that is the date on which
the alleged assault was made. N. B.
Spangler tried the case for the Com-
monwealth and Gettig and Bower rep-
resented the defendant. After due de-
liberation the jury returned a verdict
of guilty on both counts, as indicted,
and counsel for defendant gave notice
that a motion would be filed for a new
trial.
Another assault and battery case
was that preferred by Mrs. John
Franeck, of Clarence, against her hus-
band, and it also resulted in a verdict
tenced to pay a fine of $25, costs of
prosecution and give bond in the sum
of $500 to keep the peace for a period
of two years.
The grand jury on Tuesday after-
noon put the quietus on the only cases
on the calemdar which had been antic-
ipated by the general public with con-
siderable interest by ignoring the bills
in the assault and battery charges
preferred by J. Cleveland Packer
against three state policemen, Sergt.
J. V. Buckley, W. J. Lyster and J. J.
Downing. The jury also ignored the
bill in the case brought by the police-
men against Packer for resisting an
officer but returned a true bill against
him for possession of intoxicating
liquor.
It will be recalled that on the after-
noon of March 14th, the three state
officers above named visited the Pack-
er home in Boggs township on a
search for liquor but failed to find
Packer at home. They were all in
civilian clothes and laid in wait along
the road until Packer’s return. They
stopped his car, ordered him out and
on frisking his clothing found a pint
bottle partially filled with liquor. The
officers claimed that Packer resisted
them and the latter maintained that
on refusing to tell where he got the
liquor one of the officers, W. J. Lyster,
struck him two or three times, one of
the blows closing his left eye and in-
juring it so badly he was unable to
see out of it for four days. He was
then brought to the Centre county
jail and, according to his contention,
was refused the right to secure bail
until the following evening. Subse-
quently Mr. Packer brought suit
against officer Lyster for assault and
battery and aggravated assault and
battery and at the hearing justice of
the peace John M. Keichline held the
officer for trial at court. Sergt. Buck-
ley then had Packer re-arrested on the
charge of resisting an officer and, up-
on the advice of the justice, Packer
preferred another charge of assault
against the three officers. The fact
that the officers were in civilian
clothes and had failed to display a
search warrant when they stopped
Packer on the public highway, and
also the undisputed fact that one of
the officers did strike Packer a ter-
rific blow on the eye, were reasons
why there was so much interest in
seeing the issue tried out in court,
but the action of the grand jury in ig-
noring the cases leaves the question
of the rights of law officers still un-
settled. The costs in the case against
W. J. Lyster were placed: upon the
county and those in the cases against
Sergt. Buckley and J. J. Downing
were placed upon John M. Keichline,
who stood as the prosecutor.
Yesterday morning Mr. Packer en-
tered a plea of guilty to illegal pos-
session and was sentenced to pay a
fine of one dollar, costs of prosecution
and two to four month’s imprisonment
in the county jail. 2 j
The grand jury completed their
work and were discharged at five
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. In
their report they stated that they had
passed upon twenty bills of indiet-
ment, returning fifteen true bills and
ignoring five. ‘They visited and in-
spected the county buildings and
found them in fair condition but rec-
ommended that the floors in the jail
be repaired and a rear entrance be
made to the prison as an emergency
exit in case of fire. The outside wood-
work of the jail should be painted and
window sash repaired: The porch at
the south entrance also needs repair-
ing. They further recommended a
general cleaning of the court house
and a thorough examination of the
heating plant. In this connection they
expressed the belief that a direct
steam heating system would be more
economical and sanitary. The coal
chute was found to be in a worn out
condition and should be replaced by
a new one. ;
Among the civil list cases settled
during the week were three brought
by W. L. Hicks, in his own right, and
W. L. Hicks, executor of John W.
Thomas, against the Pennsylvania
railroad for damages incurred in for-
est fires in Rush township, claimed to
have been the result of sparks from
passing locomotives. While the
amount of damages agreed upon was
not stipulated it is understood to have
been up in the thousands of dollars.
The case of the Commonwealth vs.
William R. Quick, charged with pos-
session and offering for sale intoxi-
cating liquors, was taken up late
Tuesday afternoon. Quick was arrest-
Lt
ed in April, on the stairway of the
Bush Arcade, by two state policemen
who charged that he was in the act of
selling a small bottle of liquor to John
I. Thompson when they made the ar-
rest. On being searched two. full
quart bottles were also found upon his
person. Quick was defended by W. D.
Zerby while district attorney Ivan
Walker tried the case for the Com-
monwealth. The jury returned a ver-
dict of guilty as indicted and the court
promptly sentenced Quick to serve
from six to twelve months in the coun-
ty jail. This is the same Quick
who upwards of two years ago figured
in a rather sensational domestic dra-
ma, while living at Snow Shoe, and
got considerable notoriety therefrom.
The first case taken up on Wednes-
day morning was that against William
Burns, of Julian, charged with manu-
facturing and possessing intoxicating
liquor. He stood trial and the jury
returned a verdict as indicted. He
was sentenced to pay a fine of one dol-
lar, costs of prosecution and serve
from nine to eighteen months impris-
onment in the county jail.
Most of the business before the
court this week was composed of
of guilty as indicted. He was sen-

The Mack-Murray Show Rough
i Housed by State Studes.
The Mack-Murray show had scarce-
ly emerged from winter quarters in
Milesburg when it ran into bad luck.
| The show plays one-night stands in
‘villages and week runs in larger
‘places. There are nine people in the
‘company and they have a repertoire
! of plays, with some specialty interpo-
! lations, which they present under can-
{ vas, and several of them are very
meritoriously acted. : ?
It was billed for State College for
the week of May 18th to 23rd. Mon-
day night was the opening—also the
. closing, for after a number of people
had bought tickets and the show was
about ready to start a crowd of col-
lege boys appeared on the lot. While
one of them occupied the atten-
tion of the door keeper with changing
a rather large bill that he had prof-
fered for admission the entire gang
surged into the tent and trouble be-
gan. Then some one pulled enough
stakes to let the tent collapse and the
finale of the Mack-Murray debut at
State College was enacted before even
~ the prologue had been gotten over.
| Nothing was hurt but the tent. It
‘was torn some and it is reported that
; the damages will be paid for out of the
student “damage fund.” The Mack-
| Murray Co., like the Arab, folded the
canvas and departed Wednesday for
Warriorsmark. Pine Grove Mills was
i thought of, it is said, as a good stand,
"but Pine Grove is only five miles from
State College and the Mack-Murray
Co. thought that not far enough.

Musicians Give
Recital.
Young Pleasing
Thirty of the pupils of Mrs. Louis
Schad gave an invitation recital in the
Episcopal parish house, last Friday
evening, that thoroughly delighted
the large audience that had gathered
to hear them. The program was de-
voted entirely to instrumental num-
bers, violin and piano, and included
several very difficult compositions that
were rendered with a sincerity that
was most complimentary to Mrs.
Schad—even though a pupil of such
an artist as she might naturally be
expected to show superior interpreta-
tion and technique.
The performers represented all
ages, from those just beginning to
those who have been under instruction
for some time. All played so well
that parents and friends must certain-
ly kave-been greatly encouraged and
proud. :
The violins were Gilbert Cole, Orvis
Harvey, Pearl Garbrick, Eleanor
Barnhart, Mary Robb, Grace Cohen,
Lester Neiman, Sara Garbrick, Evan
Blanchard, Graham Hughes, Jacob
Bottorf, Eugene White, Betty Case-
beer, William Markley, Nevin Jodon,
Clarence Owens, Frederick Kurtz,
Charles Jodon, Samuel Noll, Lela and
Isabel Jodon.
* The piano numbers were by Jean
McGarvey, Anna Wetzler, Emily
Wilkinson and Elizabeth Baney.
The Falk Recital.
Jules Falk, violinist, with Clarence
Fuhrman - accompanist, were heard
here in concert, last Thursday even-
ing. It was the artist’s first appear-
ance in Bellefonte and he fairly de-
lighted a large and critical audience.
Falk’s selection of a program was
fortunate, for in the fourteen num-
bers there was enough variation to
please all the peculiar whims of the
music lover as well as composition
that in proper interpretation called
for all the technique of a master. In
the first and last groups the artist
rose to the greatest heights in execu-
tion and expression, though his ren-
dition of the Paderewski-Kreisler
“Meruet,” in the third, was exquisite.
by Beethoven, was to our ear the most
charming number of the program.
The audience was quick to discern
the capable work of Mr. Fuhrman at
the piano. His support was so perfect
that a pianist of more than ordinary
ability was recognized and in response.
to a request Mr. Fuhrman played a
number. It more than proved the
judgment of the audience and contrib-
uted much to an unusually delightful
concert. :

——The Senior class of the Belle-
fonte High school treated itself to a
picnic on Tuesday. The entire class
motored to Penns cave and had a de-
licious picnic supper supplied by the
girls. The only mishap they had was
when a baseball bat slipped out of one
of the player’s hands and struck in-
structor Ellis Keller on the head, so
hard as to put him out of the game
and everything else for a little while.

—Chaplain T. W. Young, so well and
popularly known by nearly every one in
Bellefonte, was an arrival from Pittsburgh,
his new home, last Thursday. ! Looking
every bit as fit as if he had stayed here in-
stead of taking up his abode in- the be-
grimed atmosphere of the Smoky city the
Chaplain had to indulge in a few facetious
remarks and one of them was to the effect
that he had come in te announce his can-
didacy for judge. At that he wouldn't
make a bad one were it not that he has
had all of his experience in the pulpit and
none at the ‘bar. He preached for the
Lutheran congregation, morning and even-
ing, on Sunday.

where they were. Behind all the nonchal-
ance was a very good reason. Mr. Camp-
bell is a juror at court this week. Mrs.
Campbell happened to motor down with

Court announced that there would be a
night session and none of the jurors,
whether on the panel or not, would be ex-

——DBellefonte evidently has been
tabooed by the circus combines. Ring-
ling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, John
Robinson, Sparks and the Gentry
Bros: have all been through this sec-
tion of the State showing in most of
the towns but so far there is no indi-
cation of any of them coming to Belle-
fonte. But one of the big attractions
of the circus has been cut out, and
that is the free street parade. By
mutual agreement all circus manage-
ments have agreed to discontinue the
parade on the grounds that it is too
wearing on the stock and the per-
formers, though they do have them
occasionally as was the case with the
Robinson show in Lock Haven on
Tuesday. i
—— Mrs. George Miller will hold
her annual sale of cut flowers and
potted plants for Memorial day, at the
W. H. Miller hardware store, next
week, beginning May 27th. ‘Although
there will be 1,000 pots of plants, it
would be advisable to send your order
as soon as possible, that you may have
the choice of this big display. 21-1t
