THREE GET AWAY
FROM ROCKVIEW.
Three prisoners made their escape
from Rockview penitentiary, last
Thursday evening, by cutting their
way through the wire stockade which
surrounds the prison buildings. The
men were Grant Miller, of Lebanon
county, 22 years old; Bert Keller, aged
43, and John Harrison Knapp, aged
37, both of Northumberland county,
all three men having been transfer-
red to Rockview from the eastern
penitentiary.
The escape took place at 8:20
o’clock Thursday evening. The guard
on making his regular round of the
grounds, discovered a man crawling
through a hole in the wire stockade.
He called to him to stop but the man
made a dash for the woods on Nit-
tany mountain. The guard emptied
his revolver in the direction of the
fleeing prisoner but it was dark and
raining and he had little chance of
hitting a running target. Guards
were promptly ordered out and a
check-up of prisoners made, which
disclosed the fact that three were
missing, two of them evidently hav-
ing reached the mountain before the
last one to escape had been discover-
ed by the guard.
Sheriff Taylor and the state police
in Bellefonte were notified of the es-
cape and with every available guard
that could be spared from the prison
a human cordon was thrown around
that portion of Nittany mountain on
which it was believed the prisoners
were hiding. The search was contin-
ued all through Friday and Friday
night and between 11:30 and 12
o'clock Friday night, two of the es-
caped convicts came out of the dense
underbrush over in the Black Hawk
section face to face with a guard.
Grant Miller was in the lead and
he was promptly captured by the
guard but Knapp, who was eight or
ten steps behind Miller, made a dash
back into the woods and escaped.
Miller told the guards that Keller
had not joined them after the escape
but had made off by himself, but that
he and Knapp had stuck together.
They were in the open during all the
rain of Thursday night and it was
not until Friday afternoon that they
mustered up enough of courage to
build a small fire at which they man-
aged to dry their clothing.
George Windemaker, the 20-year-
old York county youth who made his
escape on Wednesday afternoon, made
his way to the McFarlane farm, near
Boalsburg, where he stole a car be-
longing to Mrs. Leah Smith. On
Sunday the car was found near Liver-
pool, this side of Harrisburg, where
it had been abandoned when the gas
ANNIE SOKOLOSKY
GETS YEAR IN JAIL.
At a special session of court, last
Friday morning, Annie Sokolosky,
of Rush township, entered a plea of
guilty to manufacturing and posses-
sion of intoxicating liquor and was
sentenced by Judge James C. Furst
to pay a fine of $100, costs of prose-
cution and imprisonment in the coun-
ty jail for a period of one year.
The jail sentence will not affect
Annie’s life in the least. She has an
established reputation of having been
in jail more times than any other
individual—man or woman—in Cen-
tre county, and a year more or less
will cut no figure, with her. When
brought to jail on March 3rd for her
last ‘offense she brought with her her
prayer book and Bible and intimated
that’ she was going to enjoy herself.
In sentencing her, on Friday, Judge
Furst said:
“Annie Sokolosky, you have enter-
ed a plea of guilty to the charge of
manufacturing liquor. You enjoy
the distinction of being the worst
female nuisance this court has had
to contend with during the past twen-
ty years. The pages of the records of
the criminal courts of this county are
polluted with the name Sokolosky.
You have been charged with one
crime after another. You are the
mother of a large family of children.
Same of them have grown up and be-
come respected citizens in the com-
munities in which they live. How
this could happen is a mystery to the
Court when we consider the type of
mother they had and the example you
set for them. The Court is sorry
there is not some place where you
could be sent to eliminate you and
your bad example from this county,
send you but to the county jail. The
sentence of the court is that you,
Annie Sokolosky, pay a fine of $100,
costs of prosecution and undergo im-
prisonment in the county jail for one
vear, and stand committed until the
sentence is complied with.” :

Frosts and Cold Weather.
The early fruit crops in Centre

weather which hung for a period of
four days over the week-end and Sun-
day, some thermometers in Belle-

Thursday afternoon and evening,
which was accompanied by consider-
able thunder and lightning. While

Grant Miller, the one prisoner cap-
tured, was sentenced by Judge Hen- |
ry, in Lebanon county, on March 20th, |
1926, to serve a term of three to six
years for larceny, and had therefore |
served but thirteen months of his
term. At a special session of court, !
on Tuesday, Judge Furst gave him !
an additional sentence of three to six |
vears, to be served after completion |
of his original sentence. i
Alexander Roach, who also had |
half a dozen aliases, the man who on |
March 27th shot Joseph Krupa, of
Rush township, in the hand, and who
since has exhibited indications of be-
ing a dangerous man, plead guilty to
assault and battery with intent to
kill and carrying concealed deadly
weapons. On the first count he was |
sentenced to serve three to six years
in the penitentiary and on the second
count six months to one year, the sen-
tences to run consetiitively. The two:

TENNIS COURTS
| OPEN TO PUBLIC.
i Headmaster James R. Hughes has
| provided five good tennis courts on
bis athletic field at considerable ex-
‘pense. These courts have been en-
tirely surrounded by high wire net-
ting. There are gates at every corner.
The main entrance gate will be at the
corner until the Academy closes on
| Wednesday, June 8th. These courts
will be open to the Academy students
only until June 8th. From June 8th
"until the Academy opens again in
September, these courts wil be open
to those tennis players of Bellefonte
and vicinity who purchase a $3.00 sea-
son ticket. Such tickets will be pre-
‘sented tc the caretaker of the pool.
The entrance gate will be the gate
at the west end of the bath house.
, Positively no complimentary tickets
will be given out. No players will be
allowed on the courts unless they
are wearing tennis shoes. No
players will be allowed on the courts
i before six a. m., unless they guaran-
tee to play quietly and not disturb
the neighbors.
Bill Waite will be responsible for
the -admission of players before
breakfast. A generous and unselfish
spirit- must prevail at all times. If
more players are assembled at the
courts than can be accommodated at
one time, it is expected that players
after completing one full set will
leave the courts and give other play-
ers a chance to play a full set. Then
they may have a chance to play
again. No players will be admitted
to the courts when the courts are too
wet for use. The courts will be kept
rolled and marked by the caretaker.
The game of tennis is becoming
more popular every year. It affords
a wonderful opportunity for exercise
and pleasure, and girls to-day are
just as much interested in the sport
as boys are. Mr. Hughes hopes that
many will take advantage of the
new courts. Season tickets can be
bought from James R. Hughes and
Charles S. Hughes. :
|+ Edward Miller, who lives next to
‘the Hughes athletic field, has assum-
ed the responsibility of “special of-
ficer” to protect this field. He will
arrest, or report for arrest, any
caught in the act of trying to do any
I to any part of the property.

DELPHIAN'S DINE
. AND ENJOY PLAY.
j Twenty-six people attended the din-
er given at the Brockerhoff house,
Monday evening, by the Delphian
society of Bellefonte, in honor of the
ladies from State College .who took
part in the play, “To Be Dealt With
Accordingly.” Among the guests
present were Mrs. Gregg Curtin,
Isabella Hill, and Mrs. Kilpatrick, of
Philadelphia, who is visiting her son,
Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick, on Curtin street.
Everyone reported a most enjoyable
time. ;
Following the dinner ‘those who
were to take part in the plays given
under the auspices of the Woman's
club repaired to the Episcopal parish
house, where a two part program was
enacted with great success.
‘The first part of the performance
was a sketch of art life portrayed by
Catherine Allison, Catherine Love
and Mrs. Robert Walker, who gave a
very splendid and pleasing presenta-
tion.
The second part was the play given
at State College before the D. A. R.
with such great success that its repe-
tition was requested by people of
Bellefonte.
The play dealing with problems of
Americanization represented a court
room, with Sabra W. Vought in the
role of judge of the juvenile court;
Jean D. Amberson, a probation
officer; Mrs. W. G. Chambers repre-
senting an American mother of the
best stock; Louise Moss acting as her
son; Lueretia V. T. Simmons in the
part of a typical Russian immigrant,
which was very cleverly enacted, and
Mrs. T. E. Gravatt as her daughter.
It was-a most amusing and highly
entertaining production, and the
Woman's Club wishes to express its
appreciation to the ladies from State
College and the Delphian society for
the .pleasures they have afforded.
Music was furnished by Mrs. Schad
and her pupils.

Bellefonte Over the Top for Flood
Sufferers.
At the mass meeting to raise funds
for the Red Cross relief of Mississ-
ippi flood sufferers, held in the court
house here Wednesday evening, over
$800.00 were contributed.
The night was bad and there were
many counter meetings so that the
attendance was small but the hearts
were generous. Each of the banks,
the Elks, the Moose and Whiterock
Quarries gave $100. Other subscrip-
tions ran from $75 to $10. A com-
plete list of which will be published
next week.
. The quota for Bellefonte Chapter
was $1000,00 and yesterday morn-
ing business houses that could not be
represented began to report and, at
noon, burgess Harris, who is also
chaiman of the Red Cross, assured
us that the town would more than
equal its enviable record of going
over the top in every drive for worthy
purposes.
