Two Bellefonte youths who dur-
ing the weekend admitted a series
of 14 burglaries and two forgeries in
this area since January 30, yesterday
morning appeared before Judge Ivan
Walker at a special session of court,
pleaded guilty to four charges, and
were sentenced.
William Bryan, 20, of South Spring
street, was given four terms of from
3 to 6 years in the Western Peni-
tentiary at Pittsburgh, three of the
sentences running concurrently with
the fourth, making his actual sen-
tence 3 to 6 years.
His cousin and accomplice, Gil-
bert Bryan, 16, of Halfmoon Hill
was committed to the State Indus-
trial Schoel at Camp Hill for an in-
determinate term.
In court yesterday, both boys re-
fused the aid of an attorney offer-
ed by the court and declared that |
neither of them was a “ring-leader.” |
William, the older of the pair, served
time two years ago for the larceny |
of two automobiles, and had been
advised to join the Army. He told
the court he had tried to join the
Marines, but that his mother failed
to sign the necessary release papers.
The crimes to which the two
pleaded guilty yesterday were: Feb-
ruary 11, Centre Ofl and Gas Com-
pany warehouse robbery, and Jgn- |

Youth Injured -
~ While Skiing
| Centre Hall Student Saves
Own Life by Checking
Flow of Blood
A Centre Hall-Potter Township
High School freshman, injured while
skiing on tHe mountain near his
home last Thursday afternoon, saved
himself from probable death through
intelligent first-aid he administered
himself.
The youth, Harry McClenahan, Jr.
15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mc-
Clenahan, east of Centre
Hall, fell while skiing down a steep
slope about one-fourth of a mile
from his home. in falling he struck
2 stone, inflicting deep lacerations
of the right hip and knee. *
The youth started to walk home
but fainted three times Realizing
that the flow of blood was rapidly
weakening him, he ripped off his
| shirt and from it improvised’ band- |
| ages to check the blood.
| © He managed to struggle home in
an exhausted condition and was
brought immediately to the Centre
County Hospital where the wounds
were treated. He remained at the!
institution until Saturday when he
was permitied to return home. The
hip laceration is reported tc have |
been about three inches in depth
and physicians expressed amazement |
that he was able to get home un-
aided.
Latest reports from the residence
are that he is recovering satisfactor- |
| ily, although he will be required to |
i remain in bed until there is no dan-
| ger of infection or of reopening the |
| wounds.
