County Officials Found Guilty by a Commitice of Lawyers, West CumsteEr, Pa.. July 28.—The Chester county bar held the most excit- ing meeting of its history here yester- day. Nearly every member of the bar was present to hear the reading of the | report of a committee appointed to look | into charges made against county offi- cials. This committee ceunsistod of J. | F. E. Hause, T. W. Pierce, A. M. Holding, H. H. Gilkyson and A. P. Reid, | and their report clearly shows that | nearly all the court house officers have | for many years been taking advantage | of their position by charging amounts | largely inexcess of those allowed by law. This is particularly so in the case of the | clerk of the court's office and the sheriff's. In his remarks on the matter T. W. Pierce said that there have been clients | who complained of the large amounts | charged them in the county offices and | have pushed the matter, and the excess | money was returned to them, a mani- | fest pleading of guilty on the part of the | officials. Register Frank A. Thomas, | Sheriff James G. Parker and Clerk of | the Courts Morgan Ruth are the ones | who came under the fire. They have been doing just what their predecessors | have, but the matter is now to be probed to the bottom and mended. After a long discussion the report was accepted. | CHILDREN, YET MURDERERS A Boyofitanda Girlof 16 Charged With Killing Their Infant, PHILADE!
