JUDGE FURST DOLES OUT
SEVERAL SALTY SENTENCES.
John Morrison Given Two and a Half
to Five Years in Penitentiary.
At a special session of court, on
Monday morning, Judge Furst signed
a petition presented by W. Harrison
Walker Esq., permitting Charles Wil-
liam Grimm to change his name to
Charles William Keller.
Harvey Knarr entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of having gone
to Jersey Shore with a girl named
Alice Knoff, of State College, where
they spent four days together as man
and wife. The girl has a rather un-
savory reputation and Knarr, who is
only seventeen years old, admitted
that it was at the girl’s suggestion
that he took her to Jersey Shore. The
court, after admonishing the young
man to be more careful in the future
as to his associations imposed a fine
of $25 and costs, and at the sugges-
tion of Rev. Steely, probation officer,
put him on parole to make payment
at the rate of five dollars a month.
C. E. Roach plead guilty to operat-
ing a car while under the influence of
liquor, but claimed he had taken only
one drink. This is the man who, on
the night of July 25th, crashed into
the John M. Bullock car on the State
highway near Pleasant Gap. Roach
claimed he is from Harrisburg and
was working at the College on struc-
tural steel. He and two other men
came to Bellefonte the night of the
accident and it was while they were
on their way home that the accident
occurred. Attorney S. D. Gettig rep-
resented Roach and he plead for
leniency for his client. The court,
however, imposed a fine of $150, costs
and three months in the county jail.
Roach’s wife was in court and when
the Judge imposed sentence she burst
out crying and it was some minutes
before she could regain her compos-
ure.
The next case heard was that of
W. A. Morris. of State College,
charged with issuing a check without
funds in the bank to meet it and: also
forging a check. Morris claimed that
he came to State College from Ohio
and for a time had charge of the big
dining hall. Then he worked in a
restaurant and becoming discouraged
he wanted to get out of the town
which he characterized as “a bum
place.” In order to raise money to get
away he forged a check for $32.00,
purported to having been signed by
Frank Hull, and got it cashed at the
First National bank. He stated that
he had offered to return the money
but the bank would not accept it.
District attorney John G. Love stated
to the court that Morris had been
implicated in two or three other
things and the bank people felt that
he should be punished. The court,
therefore, sentenced him to pay a fine
of $100, costs, restore the money he
received on the forged check and un-
dergo imprisonment in the western
penitentiary for a period of one to
two years.
The last man to plead guilty was
John Morrison who, on the night of
May 25th broke into the pool room
of W. W. Bickett and stole $65 in
cash, then broke open the garage of
Charles Fromm and stole his car. He
was caught three days later in Erie.
When he stood up for sentence Morri-
son was asked by Judge Furst how

Theodore Engler Again Injured in
Auto Accident.
Theodore Engler, twenty year old
son of Mrs. J. S. Engler, of Port Ma-
tilda, is for the second time within
eight months a patient in the Cen-
tre County hospital as the result of
injuries sustained in an auto accident;
only this time his condition is quite
serious. He is suffering with a frac-
turned jaw and head injuries.
Engler and Howard Robison motor-
ed to Bellefonte on Sunday evening,
in Engler’s sedan to visit friends.
It was close to midnight when they
started home, Robison driving the
car. Just beyond Unionville is a
small bridge, a short distance further
along is a tree. The night was very
foggy and the driver ran nto the tree
with the result that the machine was
catapulted from the road down over
an eight foot wall into Mrs. Susan
McEwen’s garden. Engler was caught
under the car and knocked uncon-
scious. A passing motorist brought
him to the Centre County hospital.
Robison, who had several teeth knock-
ed loose, was able to return home.
Engler is the young man who was
with Chester Putt, of Port Matilda,
on the night of December 23rd, 1926,
when the latter ran into a wagon,
near Unionville, and was killed in-
stantly. At that time Engler was in-
jured and spent several days in the
Centre County hospital.
On Sunday night Miss Elizabeth
Gamble was motoring down Bald
Eagle valley, in her Franklin car,
and just as she got on the crossing of
the cutoff track, this side of Howard,
she saw a train bearing down upon
her. She jumped from the car which
was struck by the train and complete-
ly wrecked, but she escaped without
injury.

Erring Couple Jailed After Marriage.
Because they ran away and were |
married Russell Haffner and Eliza-
beth Bethlehem, erstwhile man and
wife, were arrested in Lock Haven, on
Tuesday morning, and brought to
Centre county and lodged in jail, the
young man to answer to the charge of
perjury in Clinton county, and the
girl to be consigned to the Glen Mills
school for girls at Slayton.
The girl has been a ward of the
Centre county court for some time
and was an inmate at the Charles
Zettle farm home. She is only 16
years of age. The Haffner young
man, who is only 18 years old, came
to the Zettle farm about three weeks
ago from St. Mary’s. Naturally the
boy and girl were associated togeth-
er every day and imagining they were
in love left the Zettle farm on Mon-
day and going to Lock Haven secured
a marriage license by swearing they
were of age.
i
Rev. Steely was notified of the girl’s
disappearance and going to Lock
Haven placed the young couple under
arrest and brought them to the Cen-
tre county jail.

GREGG CURTIN MEETS DEATH
BY ELECTROCUTION.
Caught in a Short Circuit at Sand
Plant and Killed Instantly.
Gregg Curtin, of Bellefonte, owner
and proprietor of a sand plant in
Boggs township, was caught in a
short circuit at the motor which oper-
ates the crusher, about 7.30 o’clock on
Monday morning, and received a
shock which caused instant death.
Defects in the wiring system at the
plant was the cause of the short cir-
cuit. This fact was known to Mr.
Curtin as sparks of fire had been
shooting from the wires for several
days. On Monday morning, when the
machinery was started, the short ecir-
cuit was so pronounced that every-
thing about the plant was charged
with electricity. Soon after they
| started work the motor burst into
flames and it was while attempting to
overcome these that Mr. Curtin met
his death. So far as known nobody
saw the accident happen. Mr. Curtin
went alone to the motor and evidently
came in contact with some highly
charged portion of the machinery.
| He was discovered by one of his em-
ployees lying with his left leg over
the motor which was still running.
The man telephoned to the offices of
the West Penn Power company, in
Bellefonte, to turn off the current,
| which was done as quickly as possible,
when Mr. Curtin was released, but he
was already beyond all aid.
Superintendent E. C. Musser and
Charles Kellerman, of the West Penn
company; B. D. Tate and Mr. Pollum,
of the Bell Telephone company, and
Dr. John Sebring went down to the
plant and worked for more than an
hour in an effort to revive him by
means of artificial respiration but
without success. The shock he re-
ceived must have caused death in-
stantly. The current as it ran into his
i plant was only 220 volts, but when it
{ is so badly grounded, as it was there,
there is no way of computing its volt-
age. Not only the entire plant was
grounded but the ground extended out
into the sand mine, where a mule was
| knocked over when it stepped into a
pool of water.
Gregg Curtin was a son of the late
General and Mrs. John I. Curtin and
was born in Bellefonte about fifty one
years ago. He was educated in the
public schools of the town and when
he grew to manhood took up the study
of electricity. He spent several years
in California, where he worked as an
electrician, and returning east, work-
ed in Philadelphia a few months.
Coming back to Bellefonte he accept-
ed a position as electrician for the
American Lime and Stone company
i where he worked until some four or
{five years ago when he took over the
od mine, in Boggs township, and
| had been operating it ever since.
About seven years ago he married
Mrs. Helen Bunting Chipley, of Phila-
delphia, who survives with a five year
jold son, Constans Curtin. He was
[the last of his generation of the Cur-
tin family. Mr. Curtin was a member
of St. John’s Episcopal church and
{the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks.

Clothes Wringer Pulls Hair from
Girl’s Head.
While assisting with the family
wash, on Monday, Miss Olive Walker,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Walker, who live near Pine Grove
Mills, was almost scalped when her
hair caught in the rolls of the wringer
of the electric washer. Stooping
over the machine some loose strands
of hair caught in the wringer and be-
fore the machine could be stopped
most of the hair on the top of her

Bellefonte Lost to Lewistown.
The Bellefonte ball team lost to
Lewistown, last Thursday, and one
big reason why they did not lose on
Saturday is because it rained and the
game was canceled. For some reason
or other the locals seem unable to con- !
nect with the winning side. But at
that they are playing good ball, as all
scores are small. But they will have
to take a spurt if they expect to end
the season in the front rank.
The management of the ball team
desires the Watchman to extend
thanks to those owners of automobiles
who have so willingly given their cars
during the season to transport the
ball team to other towns. It has
materially aided in keeping down ex-
penses and enabled the management
to meet all bills promptly.
Firemen will Meet at Clearfield Next
Year.

ard Richards, of Philipsburg; second

Prison Term Looms for Man Who
Married His Cousin.
Charles Emel, of Pleasant View,
is under two thousand dollars bail for
his appearance at the September term
of court to answer to the charge of
marrying his cousin, Catherine Emel,
which under the present law in Penn-
sylvania is a penitentiary offense, and
on the charge of aiding and abetting
the marriage Harry Walker and
Mabel Craig, also of Pleasant View,
have been held under one thousand
dollars bail for court.
Catherline Emel is a daughter of
James Emel, who is an uncle of
Charles, the erring bridegroom. Ac-
cording to the story Harry Walker
and Mabel Craig drove Charles and
Catherine Emel to Lock Haven, on
Tuesday of last week, where they se-
cured a marriage license. They then
returned to Milesburg where they
were married the same day by ’Squire
Grafmeyer. Learning of the mar-
