only, with Buster Keaton and Dor-
othy Sebastian in the titular roles.
Our movie expert says both will be
good, but if you can’t see both he
thinks “Nothing But the Truth”
would be the preference for a matinee
or evening's entertainment.
PAROLE CASES HEARD
IN COURT ON MONDAY.
Two Coleville Men Given Salty Sen-
tences On Tuesday.
At a session of court, on Monday
morning, Judge Fleming granted a
petition of the supervisors of Potter
township for an increase of two mills
in road tax. :
John G. Love presented a petition o
Mrs. Jennie Tracy, of State College,
for the appointment of a guardian
for her brother, Paul M. Wieland, an
inmate of the Danville hospital. Tes-
timony taken showed that Mr. Wie-
land has a one-fourth interest in the
‘homestead farm as well as the stock,
‘or an estimated money interest of
approximately $1200. Willis M. Poor-
man was appointed guardian and his
bond fixed at $1200.
John T. Taylor Esq. represented
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Meyer, of State
College, in a petition to the court for
legal authority to Adopt Eleanor
Louise Stewart, twelve year old
daughter of Russell B. Stewart, of
Pittsburgh, and the court granted the
petition. :
Parole officer Roy Wilkinson pre-
sented a petition for the parole of
John Burns, who was sentenced in
February to pay a fine of $100 and
serve four months in jail for trans-
porting liquor. Mr. Wilkinson stated
that Mrs. Burns had recently given
birth to her fourth child and needed
his support. That he had the promise
of a job and has agreed to pay his
fine and costs in installments. The
court granted the parole.
Lee Cowher also appeared before
the court with a request for parole.
He was one of the Bellefonte men
caught in the dragnet of enforcement
officers in February, and at the time
only a small quantity of home brew
was found in his possession. The
court paroled him at that time upon
the payment of costs, on condition
that he refrain from concocting any
more home drinks. Later he was
picked up on the streets of Bellefonte
badly intoxicated, was taken before
the court on March 13th and sentenc-
ed to pay a fine of $50 and serve sixty
days in jail. In applying for a pa-
role he stated that the court when
placing him on probation originally
didn’t say he shouldn't drink, but that
he shouldn’t make it, and he hadn't
done so. The court granted the pa-
role but made it clear to Cowher
that drinking is also barred, and if
he is brought before him again he
will go to the Allegheny county work
house.
A. L. Courson, one of the men
caught in the Philipsburg raid and
given four months in jail and $300
fine, asked for a parole because he
has the offer of a good job in New
by May 5th. He also stated that he
will pay his fine and costs before go-
ing. The court granted the parole on
condition that he get out of the coun-
ty within fifteen days.
Franklin Hall, of Hublersburg, who
has been in jail since May, 1928, on
the charge of making threats on the
life of his wife, also asked for a pa-
role. Hall is an old-timer in the
county jail, having been a frequent
inmate in the past eight years. Pa-
role officer Wilkinson stated that
Hall’s wife is in poor health and of-
fered no opposition to her husband
being granted a parole providing he
did not return home. Hall has a sis-
ter in Ohio and in granting the parole
the court suggested that he go out
to her, and that if he would do so a
one-way ticket would be furnished
him. But whether he went or not,
he was to go west, somewhere, and
not travel east to Hublersburg.
| Joe Crushett, father of ten chil-
(dren, one of the men caught in the
enforcement raid in Bellefonte, ap-
plied for parole on the grounds that
his family needs his support. His
case was held under advisement.
CASES AGAINST MEN WHO ROBBED
HUNTING CAMPS POSTPONED.
Another session of court was held
on Tuesday morning for the purpose
of disposing of the cases against the
seven men charged with robbing
hunting camps in the Seven moun-
tains. Originally only one indict-
ment was prepared which charged
Mode Auman and Newton Lingle
with breaking and entering, robbery
and receiving stolen goods taken
from the camp of the Lamar Hunt-
ing club. Perry Hoover, Edward
Finkle, Wilbur Confer, Ralph Rote
and Albert Auman were charged as
accessories after the fact for hauling
away from the Mode Auman home
and hiding a large part of the plun-
der.
Mode Auman, who had employed
S. D. Gettig to look after his inter-
ests in court, and Lingle, who was
represented by former Judge Arthur
C. Dale, had signified their willing-
ness to plead guilty but when called
in court district attorney John G.
Love presented nine additional indict-
ments against them, which includ-
ed the robbery of the camps of the
Shamokin gun club, the Lost Creek
club, the Rebersburg club, Sunset
club, Mifflinburg Log Cabin club, Lit-
tle Poe Valley Rod and Gun club,
Elysburg Rod and Gun club, Mohawk
Hunting club and the Manor Hill Rod
and Gun club. All told about three
big truck loads of stuff had been stoi-
en.
Mr. Love explained his delay in
presenting the nine additional indict-
ments to the fact that he had not re-
ceived the returns until late Monday
afternoon and while he had notified
the defendants counsel of his inten-
Jersey but to get it must report there |
$
tion it was impossible to get the in- LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
dictments drawn in time to permit
them to see them until he appeared in
lcourt Tuesday morning.
| Naturally both Mr. Gettig and Mr.
‘Dale hesitated in advising their clients
to plead guilty to all the in-
dictments and the court took a re-
icess to permit the attorneys
to consult with their clients
in a side room. When court again
convened Mr. Gettig stated that while
he was just as anxious as anybody te
have the case disposed of yet he did
not feel that it would be fair to his
clients to plead guilty at that time
and he asked for a postponement.
District attorney Love interposed no
objections and the court named
Thursday, May 16th, as the date for
disposing of the cases.
Ed Billett and Doras Eckley, of
Coleville, plead guilty to enticing a
female child under sixteen years of
age—Caroline Downing, who at the
time was in the hands of the juve-
nile court—for immoral purposes.
Both young men are married but
separated from their wives. This
was the second time within a year
that Billett was before the court and
he was sentenced to pay a fine of
one dollar, costs of prosecution and
imprisonment in the western peni-
tentiary for not less than two nor
more than four years. Eckley was
given a dollar fine, costs and one to
two years in the county jail.

er’s day, also a large assortment of
cut flowers, will be on sale at the

day, May 11th. Gift boxes of assort-
ed flowers from two dollars up. Flow-

F. W. WEST SELLS
FURNITURE STORE.
F. W. West, last week, sold his
furniture store, on Allegheny street,
to William Stempfly, proprietor or
the Stempfly furniture stores in Phil-
ipsburg and Clearfield, who took
charge on Wednesday. Mr. Stemp-
fly comes here highly recommended
as an enterprising and industrious
business man and with his chain of
three stores will be able to make his
purchases at a figure that should
prove attractive in his sale prices to
customers. The sale of the furniture
store did not include the undertaking
business which has been conducted
the past year by E. E. Widdowson as
a separate and distinct business.
As to Mr. West, he has so far made
no decision for the future. He likes
Bellefonte as a place in which to live
and hopes to make some other busi-
ness connections which will enable
him to remain here.

Much interest is being created over
a great stunt which is to take place
here May 15th and 16th. It is to be
a “Womanless Wedding.” Not a wo-
man in it—all men! Can you imagine
our business men, by magic touch of
lipstick, rouge, and eye-brow pencil,
suddenly becoming beautiful girls,
charming debutantes, stately ma-
trons and vamping flappers? The
only way to believe it is to see it.

production.

their co-operation and very enthus-
iastic over the contemplated success.
The “Womanless Wedding” is being
staged all over this section by the
above company, and glowing reports
from other towns say that packed
houses greeted the performance both
nights. In Wellsville, Ohio, a few
weeks ago, 1,500 people saw this
play.
It is a clean, wholesome bit of old-
fashioned humor, and makes the old
laugh young again, and the young
laugh until their sides ache. In oth-
er words, it is one continuous roar of
laughter. Many beautiful costumes
‘will be worn by our local men, so
plan to see the funniest thing ever
witnessed in Bellefonte. Who would
!you choose for the beautiful blushing
‘bride ?
LEWISTOWN AUTOISTS

man’s two sisters, Misses Bertha and
Pearl, started on a motor drive to
Brookville. At the foot of Nittany
‘mountain, just after leaving Centre
Hall, Mr. Kaufman fell asleep at the

painfully cut and bruised and Mrs
Kaufman sustained a fracture of sev-

sisters.

suffering from shock it was not until
Sunday that the extent of their injur-
ies could be ascertained. Fortunate-
ly they did not prove as serious as
jat first fedred. In fact, the Misses
‘Kaufman had recovered sufficiently
to justify their discharge on Wednes-
day, while Mrs. Kaufman will be able
to leave in a few days.
