August 8, 1940. Expect Court Decision | On Millinder Hearing (Continued from page one) | maar —————————— —— the “real evidence" Harvey sought ! from the Commonwealth Is mater. | ial collected through the initiative and work of police agencies, and | that the Court would have to be | shown why the defense should be | given the benefit of the Common- wealth's work before the trial Harvey's petition listed the fol- lowing items which he wished to inspect before the trial: the stone or rock believed to have been used | in bludgeoning Faye Gales to death on the Spook Hollow road near Mt. Eagle, May 5; moulds of footprints | taken at and near the scene of the | crime: fingerprints taken {rom the Faye Gates sedan; fingerprints tak- | en from the death rock; and photo- graphs showing the scene of the crime, footprints about the area and photos showing the condition of the slain girl's body Harvey's contention in asking for the evidence was that since some of it may require expert study in or- der to present the defense case to the jury here in September, he should have the opportunity to scan the items, call in experts if neces- sary, and so prepare his case. He admitted that he doesn’t know for certain that the Commonwealth has all the items listed in the petition. On the Commonwealth side, Dis- trict Attorney Gettig claimed that under the law a defendant is ew- titled only to know the nature and cause of an accusation against him. The prosecution is not required to give details whereby it expects to prove its case he claimed. “At the trial,” Gettig said, “the Common- wealth may be surprised by defense testimony. Surely the State should not be expected to show its hand before trial!” Attorney Harvey, in supporting his side of the picture, asked: “Sup- pose during the trial a rock is in- troduced as the death weapon? 1 have no way of proving it didn’t kill her. I have no pictures of the wounds which caused her death!” Continuing, he added: “I could seek in order to have the body exhumed for a thorough study of the wounds, but I believe pictures in custody of the Commonwealth would serve the same purpose.” Harvey cited one case in Penn- sylvania courts where a defendant in a murder case asked for a pre- trial examination of i evidence, In certain bullets evidence which aid three was turned over to the defense lor expert examination before trial The District Astorney cited nu- merous cases in the courts throughout the United States have refused to turn over to defense counsel evidence the prosecution has obtained in murder cases, Boom Bellefonte For Convention (Continued from page one) gan Company. Lock Haven's decor- ations for the coming convention include more than a dozen glant signs, erected over the highways leading to the city, and calling upon firemen to vote for Bellefonte as next year's convention city Other signs point to the attractions Bellefonte offers visitors During the past few weeks the Undine Company has been sponsor- ing a series of meetings in each of the counties of the district, solicit- ing support for Bellefonte’s hope to entertain the district firemen next year for the first time since 1906 Ladder drills are being staged to advertise Bellefonte's up-to-date fire school training and equipment, and the support of Senator A. H. Letzler, Assemblyman Kenneth Haines, Mayor Hardman P. Harris, the Bellefonte Chamber of Com- merce and many other local organ- {zations and individuals have been pledged to aid firemen in bringing the convention to this city next year, According to reports, at least five other towns in the district hope to be hosts to the convention In 1941 and the support of every person in this area is needed to help Belle- fonte in its campaign The four-day convention means substantial benefits to the town. Hundreds of delegates, visitors and spectators spend the entire four days in the convention city, and past experience has shown that the volume of business done by mer- chants of all kinds is so great that the outlay of capital necessary to prepare for the convention is al- most negligible. It is estimated that approximately $4000 will be required locally to prepare for the conven- tion if Bellefonte is chosen next week — A — ————— 15 1b., 2 oz.

Havens, Farm Security Administration Supervisor in Blair and Centre county. This amount, which is expected to per- mit the making of loans to 105 farm families for the purchase of farms, is the state's share of the fourth annual Congressional appropriation to carry out the provisions of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act During the first three years of the program, 158 farm families in the state have purchased their own farms with Tenant Purchase Loans totaling $1,012,831, according to the FSA Supervisor. Bearing three per- cent interest, these loans run for a term of 40 years, but may be paid in full any time after the first five years. No down payment is required Centre county is among the coun- ties designated by the Secretary of Agriculture for the operation of the program this year.
