RESULTS IN ACQUITTAL.
omens |
Other Cases Disposed of During the .
Past Week.
Commonwealth cases disposed of
in the Centre county court during
the past week, included the follow-
ing:
Commonwealth vs. Ralph A.
Smith, assault and battery. Ver-
dict of guilty and motion made for
a new trial.
Commonwealth vs. James E.
Egan, assault and battery. Prose-
cutor, S. S. Williams, Both parties
live in Blanchard and the alleged
offense was committed on the eve-
ning of September 6th. Verdict of
guilty returned and defendant was
sentenced to pay the costs, a dollar
fine and serve ten days in the coun-
ty jail.
Commonwealth vs. W. E. Hult-
mark, indicted for manslaughter.
This case grew out of an accident
on the Allegheny mountain, on July
4th, in which Mrs, Lee Quiggle, of
Lock Haven, was killed. It will be
recalled that Mr. and Mrs. Quiggle
and Miss Irene Quiggle were motor
guests of Howard Oakes, of Jersey
Shore, and were on their way to a
Fourth of July celebration in Clear-
field. Mr. Hultmark, of New York,
| fendant and his witnesses. At the
had with him in his car Miss Doro-
thy Olson, of New York, and two
children of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer |
Lunn, of Grass Flat, and was en-
route to Penns Cave. In the neigh-
porhood of the Beech Creek trestle
the two cars collided headon. The
Commonwealth was unable to show
gross carelessness on the part of
the defendant in driving the car,
while in his own defense Mr. Hult-
mark testified that the steering
knuckle on his car broke and he
was unable to control its course,
and also could not stop in time to
avoid the accident. The jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty but
directed the defendant to pay the
costs. x
Commonwealth vs. James Butler.
Indicted on two counts. First, as-
sault and battery, and second, ag-
gravated assault and battery. Prose-
cutor, Leo Boden, county detective.
This case grew out of a shooting
affair in Curtin township on August
26, 1930, when Matthias Packer and
a Mr. Nyman called at the home of
the defendant relative to a money
transaction which resulted in mis.
understandings, and the two men
were ordered off of the premises.
After starting down the driveway to
the public road the’ defendant shot
after Mr. Packer twice with a
double barrel shot gun. The de-
fendant admits the shooting, but he
and his witnesses contend that the
two men had become boisterous and
that Packer used vile and profane
language and threatened to do the
defendant bodily harm, while he,
the defendant was sitting on the
door sill, and that he ordered the
parties to leave. That Nyman did
leave, but Packer retreated very
slowly and threw stones, hitting the
defendant twice. One stone passed
into the house and hit his wife on
the leg. Defendant admits getting
his gun and shooting to hit the
ground some distance back of
Packer and that he, Butler, did not
intend to hit Packer. The evidence
on the part of the Commonwealth
showed, however, that the pellets
entered the thick part of Packer's
thigh and in the ankle, and that
one of the bones in the lower limb
had been fractured so that Packer
had to be taken to the hospital.
The fracture and other marks were
shown in court by X-ray pictures.
Verdict on Friday evening of guilty
of aggravated assault and battery
but recommending the defendant to
the leniency of the court, The de-
fendant was sentenced on Saturday
forenoon to pay the costs of prose-
cution, a fine of $1.00 and to the
county jail for a period of thirty
days. : : ;
Commonwealth’ vs. Philip’ Hal-
lam, violation of the liquor laws.
Prosecutor A. E. Yougle, chief of
police of State College. The de-
fendant was indicted on two counts.
First, possession, and second, trans-
portation. The testimony on the
part of the Commonwealth showed
that the defendant was seen de.
positing cartons in Holmes’ woods,
west of State College, and his auto-
mobile subsequently watched, and
the defendant was arrested at or
about ten o'clock p. m. on the same
day. The defendant denied the
averments on the part of the
Commonwealth but a verdict was
rendered finding him guilty and he
was sentenced to pay the costs of
prosecution, a fine of $500.00 and to
the county jail for not less than
four months nor more than eight
months,
Commonwealth vs. Hillary Viard,
indicted for breaking, entering and
larceny. Prosecutor, Leo Boden,
county detective. The testimony on
the part of the Commonwealth was
to the effect that the Cresson Candy
company, of Philipsburg, was en-
tered and among the goods missing
was a Remington typewriter, which
was subsequently found at the resi-
dence of the defendant with the
numbers filed off. The testimony
on the part ef the Commonwealth
close of the testimony the court di-
rected a verdict of not guilty asto
| breaking and entering and left the
charge of larceny to the jury which
, rendered a verdict of guilty for the
larceny of a typewriter. A motion
was made for a new trial.
Commonwealth vs. James Koon,
indicted in two cases for breaking,
entering and larceny, and receiving
stolen goods. Prosecutors, H H.
Musser and J. J. Meyer. The case
| grew out of the entry of the store
| and meat market of the prosecutors
on the night of August 23rd last,
in the borough of State College.
After the case was called and a
plea of not guilty was entered, the
defendant admitted to the confession
in the hands of the chief of police
of State College, and the pleas were
changed from not guilty to guilty.
The defendant was sentenced on one
count to pay the costs of prosecu-
tion, a fine of $25.00 and undergo
imprisonment in the Pennsylvania
industrial school at Huntingdon.
NATIVE CENTRE COUNTIAN
ALMOST ASPHYXIATED
Harry S. Gates and family, of
Long Branch, N. J., but formerly of
Centre county, had narrow escapes
from asphyxiation on Sunday, No-
vember 9th. Mr. Gates was born
and raised at Port Matilda and his
wife is a native of Philipsburg. Their
family consists of themselves, two
children, Harry and Harriet, At
the time Mildred Covert, a ten
year old girl, was a visitor at the
Gates home,
The Covert girl was the first to
awaken Sunday morning, and at
once realized that the house was
filled with gas. Though she, her-
self, was almost overcome, she man-
aged to arouse the other two chil-
dren and get them out of the house.
Then she summoned help.
A first aid squadron from Oak-
hurst was secured. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Gates were so far gone that
they were frothing at the mouth.
Mrs. Gates was rushed to a hospi-
tal while the first aid squadron
worked on Mr. Gates from seven
o'clock in the morning until two in
the afternoon before he was revived.
In their work they poured whisky
and hot coffee down his throat and
used eleven tanks of oxygen, but
they finally brought him around
and he, as well as all the others,
has fully recovered. A broken gas
jet in the kitchen of their home
accounted for the gas_filled house.
