| HARRY C. MUSSER IS
i
APPLYING FOR panos}
An application will be made to
‘the Board of Pardons, at its Octo-
ber meeting next week, for a par-
{don for Harry C. Musser, of Centre
county, convicted in September,
1924, of second degree murder for
killing his uncle, William: E. Mus- |
ser, and sentenced to serve not less
than ten - nor more - than twenty
years in the western penitentiary.
The case was the last one of any |
importance tried before the late:
Judge Henry C. Quigley and at- |
tracted unusual -attention. William |
Musser was murdered in a seclud-
spot in little Sugar valley on the
evening of July 20th, 1924. The
body was found the next day (Sun-
day) by D. O. Dorman, of Nittany
valley. Harry Musser and Herbert
Heaton, who had been seen in Belle-
fonte with William Musser on the
evening of the 20th were arrested
charged with the murder, and Sey-
mour Stover was arrested as an
accessory after the fact.
The case went to trial on Sep-
tember 25th before Judge Quigley.
District attorney Arthur C. Dale
was assisted in the prosecution by
John G. Love Esq., while Musser
was represented by 8S. D.° Gettig
and N. B. Spangler. Musser was
tried first and the case was given to
the jury on the afternoon of Sep-
tember 29th, which was Monday.
After being out several hours the
jury returned a verdict of “guilty
and recommended to the mercy of
the court.” Judge Quigley sent them
back with instructions to name the
degree of guilt. Shortly after ten
o'clock at night they returned a
verdict of “guilty of murder in the
first degree and recommended to
the mercy of the court.” Again the
Judge sent them back with instruc-
tions that they could not under the
law make any recommendations.
t was after twelve o'clock when
they again reported and this time !
their verdict was “guilty’ of murder
in the second degree.” Incensed at
the jury for changing their verdict
from first to second degree Judge
Quigley administered a scathing re-
buke and then promptly sentenced
Musser to not less than ten nor
more than twenty years in the
penitentiary, the maximum sentence.
Musser is probably the only man in
the State who heard a jury . pro-
nounce him guilty of murder in the
first degree and two hours later lis-
tened to the same jury say he was
guilty only of second degree mur-
der.
Whether his application for a
pardon will be contested before the
Board, at Harrisburg next Wednes-
day, has not yet been determined.
ALTOONA HIGH DEFEATS
BELLEFONTE KICKERS.
Before a crowd of eight thou-
sand football fans in the new
Mansion park stadium at Altoona,
on Saturday, the Bellefonte High
school football team went down in
defeat before the more experienced
Altoona kickers, in the first con-
ference game of the season, by the
score of 20 to 6. Defeated though
they were the Bellefonte play-
ers fought valiantly to the
end of the game. During the
game Bellefonte made nine first
downs to eight for Altoona. Capt.
Confer and fullback Kelly were the
principal ground gainers for Belle-
fonte. To-morrow Bellefonte High
will play at Mount Carmel.
The Bellefonte Academy defeated
the Villa Nova Freshmen, in a hard
fought game on Hughes field, Sat-
urday afternoon, by the score of
hard all through the game. The
Academy made two touch downs
through playing straight, hard foot-
ball, while one touchdown was made
when an Academy player intercept-
ed a forward pass and evading the
Villa Nova backfield made a long
run to the goal line. Twice !
Villa Nova got within scoring dis- |
tance but the Academy line held,
and they lost the ball on downs.
The Academy will journey to New
York where they will play the New
York University Freshmen tomor-
row.
Up at State College, on Saturday,
Penn State defeated Lebanon Val-
ley 15 to 0 in a game that gave coach
Bezdek an opportunity to try out a
number of men, and itis quite prob-
able that more changes will be
made in the lineup for the game
with Marshall College tomorrow.

gether with other routine reports.

Owens and Calvin Troup, of District
No. 1; John L. Holmes and Prof.
Thomas E. Gravat, of District No. 2,
and J. R. Miller, of District No. 4.
The public is cordially invited to at-

illegally killed in Decker valley, was
presented to the hospital by game
protector Thomas Mosier.
FRENCH MARIONETTES
TO BE SHOWN HERE.
Owing to an opendate: on October
30th the Bellefonte public schools
‘have been able to secure the largest
traveling marionette stage in the
world for exhibition in Bellefonte “af-
ternoon and evening of that date.
Until a few years ago marionettes
were. presented. on very small stages
ranging from six feet to ten.:
twelve to eighteen inches high. The
| result was that for years the mar-
ionettes made appearances’ only in
the vaudeville theatres where they
were regarded as a novelty that
‘could be looked at for .a period of
eight or ten minutes.
In the past seven -or eight years
a number of companies have at-
tempted to enlarge the idea of pre-
sentation, but it was not until Jean
Gros, producer of the famous Jean
Gros Marionettes, bravely started to
tour with his stage, that covers about
thirty feet of space, that the Amer-
ican public was able to realize that
marionettes could be taken seriously
as an integral part of the theatre and
capable of presenting truly great
plays with effectiveness.
Whereas other companies have car-
ried up to two thousand pounds of
baggage the French marionettes
have astounded seasoned theatre
managers by daring to carry over
four thousand pounds, representing
a complete miniature theatre, minia-
ture however only in the thought
that the equipment is set upon an-
other stage.
A complete lighting equipment is
carried, backdrops, wings, spotlights,
curtains of every description, famous
transformation scenes and over one
hundred and fifty puppets.
With the company is also to be
found Mr. Gros’ marionettes-phone,
not to mention singers and actors. It
is interesting to note that while the
art of working marionettes is perhaps
the most difficult work in the theatre,
that these artists have been working
together for years and through their
long effort they are able to accom-
plish effects with the figures which
other companies have vainly at-
tempted to copy.
When Mr. Gros presents Uncle
Wiggily, Skippy and the Illuminated
Ballet at the Richelieu theatre on
Wednesday, October 30, both after-
noon and evening, he will conclude
the program at the evening perform-
ance by showing ' the audience just
home the marionettes are operated.
Don’t fail to take the children to see
them.

CURFEW RINGS AT “Y”
AT 8 EACH EVENING:
In order to cooperate with home,"
school and social conditions in the
lives of the younger boys and girls
of the community the Y. M. C. A.
has found it necessary to announce
that the building will be closed to
all Junior and Cadet boys and girls
after the hour of eight each evening,
with the exception of Friday, when
the children may remain until nine.
This rule will affect boys and girls
under the age of fifteen. The par-
ents are asked to cooperate. Your
and girls under fifteen have not
been at the “Y” after eight o’clock.
In view of the fact that Hallowe'en
will soon be here, let’s not forget to
plan another evening at the ¢Y’s”
annual Hallowe'en party. The date
will be announced later. The invita-
tion is for every person in the com-
munity. :

son, and Margaretta Rodgers, of
Philipsburg, were brought to the
Centre county jail, last week, in de-
fault of $800 bail to await trial at the
next term of court on the charge of
larceny. The two women were arrest-
ed on the alleged charge of stealing
from the home of Dr. and Mrs. A. C.

en tablecloth, fifty-four napkins, an
electric iron and seven chickens. A
quantity of the stolen property was
found in the home of the Davis wo-
man. :

CENTRE WILL NOT VOTE
ON VOTING MACHINES
The question of adopting voting
machines in Centre, county will not
be submitted to. ‘the voters at the.
November election, according to the
decision of the county commissioners
this week. : io)
It will be recalled that the voting
‘machine amendment, when submitted
to the voters a year ago, was de-
feated in Centre county by about 900
majority, even though it carried in
tthe State.
in the State the right to petition the
county commissioners to put the
question of the adoption of the ma-
chines up to the people at the forth-
coming election. Only one district
in the county has filed a petition, the
Third ward in Philipsburg. Because of
this fact the voting machine question
‘will no be carried upon the ballots to
be printed for the November election,
but a special ballot will be printed
for Philipsburg only, which will en-
able the voters there to express their
sentiments in favor or against the
machines.
MOVE FOR COUNTY HOME SEEMS
DOOMED
The movement inaugurated some
time ago to submit to the voters, this
fall, the question of establishing a
county home to take care of all the
dependent poor in the county seems
doomed to failure. Up to Tuesday
of this week not a sufficient number
of signers had been received to the
petitions asking that the question be
placed upon the ballot.
Under the law two thousand signa-
tures of legalized voters are neces-
sary before the question can be sub-
mitted. Only a few districts in the |
county displayed any favorable in-
terest in the matter, while the ma-
jority are against it.

jected at the recent national encamp-
ment of the Order in Columbus, Ohio. !
Pennsylvania being the largest

ow STATE ROAD TO
BELLEFONTE PROJECTED.
For some time past there has been
| considerable agitation for an im-
proved State highway from White
Deer, on the Susquehanna river,
‘ through White Deer valley to Logan-
| ton, in Sugar valley, thence to Cedar
Springs and up Nittany valley to
Bellefonte. The road would natur-
ally follow the old White Deer turn-
: | pike to Loganton, a distance of twen-
ty-five miles, thence to Cedar
‘Springs. From the latter place to
Bellefonte the road is already im-
! proved.
That the project is likely to be
put through in the near future is
evidenced from the fact that a crew
| of men, under direction of forest
ranger L. M. Stone, began work, on
Monday, with a complete equipment
.of road making machinery, on widen-
ing the old pike from Mill Run, about
a mile west of Loganton, eastward
to the dam of the Watsontown Water
company, touching Tea Springs, the
route traversing a most picturesque
country. This road when built will
be of great advantage to the gener-
al public, touching as it does points
in Union, Clinton, and Centre coun-
ties. It will be a direct line from
the West Branch river to the Centre
county capital, and a short and di-
rect way through that section of the
State.

mer in a bathing suit at Atlantic City
and grew so fond of the crowds and the
excitement that he is thinking « of Spend
ing the winter there.
—Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cromer landed

in business conference relative to his three
years work in Japan, after which they
will come directly to Bellefonte, for a
visit with Mrs. Cromer’s father and sis-
ter, W. Homer Crissman and Mrs. Brod-

of the building of a bank, put up by the
Stewart contracting company, of New
York city, the past summer being spent

—Wednesday we had the pleasure of
chatting for a few moments with an old
friend whom we don’t see often and one
who is an outstanding illustration of
what good judgment will do for anybody
who has the will to work and the wit to
see that he shares in its results. We re-
fer to B. F. Homan, of State College, who
was in town for an hour or so with his
son, D. J. Homan, of Freeport, Ill. Mr.
Homan has been retired and living at
State College for twenty years or more
and hasn’t a thing in the world to worry
him. His son came east ten days ago for
his first visit in ten years and expects to
leave next Monday. He farms in Illinois
and specializes in dairy products and ,
hogs. The gentlemen were on their way
to Zion for a call with some kin folks
and from there were going to Centre Hall
for a short visit with others of the family
connection.
—A Lawrence Kocher, formerly head of
the department of architecture and pro-
fessor of architectural design at the
Pennsylvania State College, and Robert L.
Davison, of The Architectural Record,
New York, spent Saturday and Sunday
with ‘Henry S. Linn. Mr. Davison is in-
terested in prison building, consequently
visited Rock View. The men stopped here
enroute to Pittsburgh to consult with
specialists at the Mellon Institute, con-
cerning the making of cheaper brick for
specially designed houses. It seems that
President Hoover has become interested
in a contention that under prevailing
prices no person working for the aver-
age wage con afford to build a four room
house. Also; that capital can not build
of Bellefonte, and had been .oc- |
a four room home and rent it at a rate
that the average wage earner can afford
to pay. The challenge has gone out and
architects all over the country have tak-
en up the study of the problem with a
| view to designing a house that will be
within the reach of a person of modest
means who desires to own a home.

——The Rev. Forest O. Conser,
who has been a Presbyterian min-
ister in India for six years, will
speak in the First Presbyterian
church, Bellefonte, on Sunday morn-
ing, at 10:30. Mr. Conser is station-
ed at Sangli in Western India. It
is seventeen miles from the equator
and the mercury may go as high as
160 deg. F. However, it isa dry heat,
Here Mr. Conser supervises the ac-
tivities of twenty-three schools and
five churches. The area within
which he works is 2,300 square miles
made up of seventy-five villages. Ag
Mr. Conser is engaged primarily in
the evangelistic phase of the mis-
sionary enterprise he must constant-
ly itinerate among these villages.
‘Recently the response from high
caste Indians has been unusually en-
couraging. Mr. Conser says the mis-
sionaries are being invited to visit in
the better Indian homes.
——The Centre county teachers’
institute will be held next week,
which will mean a week’s vacation
for all the school children. The in-
stitute of today is a much different
gathering from the institute of a
quarter of a century ago. In those
days all the teachers spent the week
in Bellefonte and the evening lec-'
tures and entertainments were the
drawing card of institute. But the
high cost of lecturers in these days
makes that feature prohibitive, and
with no evening entertainments most
of the teachers come to Bellefonte
in the morning in automobiles and
return home at the close of the after-
noon session. ]
