THE C!OLD BLOODED MURDER OF
CONSTABLE WERNITH BY HAKRY
EKGI.ISH THE NOTED FORGER
CONSTABLE VOLLMEIt WOUNDED.
About 10J o'clock last Friday morn
ing SherltT Oyster received a "dispatch
to the effect that Harry English had
shot and killed Frank Wernlth, con
stable of Benzinger township and
wounded Philip Vollmer, constable of
St. Mary's borough, while these of
ficers were endeavoring lo arrest
him.
' Three or four weeks ago detectives
from Bradford. In company with
Frank Wernlth, constable of Benzin
ger township, Elk county, tracked
Harry English to the house cf A. J.
Rummer, his father-in-law, in Jay
township, where they arrested him
on a charge of forgery, when he asked
permission to go Into another room on
some trivial pretext, and succeeded in
making good his escape, Constable
Wernlth sending several shots after
the escaping prisoner but without
effect.
Constable Vollmer had received
notice on Thursday last that English
was again at the house or Rummer.
District Attorney O. W. Wurell,
Thos. J. Burke and Constable Voll
mer, were taken to Caledonia by
young Kreig. stopping at Spring Run
where Constable Wernlth was work
ing and took him in. The party
readied their destination late at night,
and lay in a bam until just before day
light on Friday morning, when ar
rangements were made for the capture
of English. Wurzell and Burke took
positions where they could cover the
rear of the house, while the two con
stables approached " from the front
and entered the house by two front
doors. In about fifteen minutes
English made his appearance, and on
discovering the constables commenced
to yell and ran up the stairs. Wernilh
followed in hot haste but. was met nt
near the top with a kick which land d
him at the foot again. On recovering
himself he tired at English hitting
him in the left leg, the ball going
through the fleshy part of the leg and
landing in the dress pf Mrs Rummer
which hung on the wall. (Deputy
Sheriff Wensel secured the bullet and
carries it as a souvenir of the sad af
fair.) English ran into a bed room
and snatching up a sixteen-shootcr
Spencer rille, and asked, "where is
that man?'' The door was partly open
as Wernith reached the upper floor
the second time when English threw
the door wide open anil shot him
through the body. After shooting the
Benzinger constable English walked
across the room and fired at Voliner
who was some sixty or seventy feet
from the house the shot taking effect
in the lower portion of the body
making an ugly wound, although at last
accounts the man was doing as well as
could be expected under the cir
cumstances. Mr. Rummer, who was
asleep at the commencement of the
fracas, poon got out of bed and just in
time to throw up the Spencer rifle
which was aimed at District Attorney
Wurzell. Three times did the desper
ate man attempt to kill the latter, and
three times was he foiled by the
prompt action of the father-iu law.
No doubt but for the interference of
Mr. Rummer another murder would
have been added to the list of the
desperado's crimes.
Constable Wernith, after receiving
the fatal shot, ran down stairs, out
doors and several feet from the house
when he fell. Being assisted to his
feet he walked nearly to the Caledonia
house, some ten or twelve rods, when
he again sank to the earth and was
carried into the hotel. The shooting
look place at 5 o'clock in the morning,
the wounded officer breathing his last
at 4J o'clock in the afternoon.
English eamedown shortly after the
murder, his wound being dressed by
his wife and Mrs. Rummer.. The wo
men asked him if the wound hurt,
in reply he assured them that he never
felt better in his life at the same time
dancing a jig. He declared that, "Tom
liurkc would be a corpse before the
sun went down tliat evening." An
hour or two thereafter he departed by
the back door going through an adjoin
lug held, several shots were sent after
him, none, however, taking effect. At
some fifteen or twenty rods from the
house he dropped on the ground be
hind a log deliberately firing three fare
well shots at the District Attorney,
the distance and lay of the ground
favoring that officer und saving his
bacon.
At 5 o'clock P. M. a coroner's jury
was empaneled by Justice Burke,
acting coroner, with Arinel Turley
foreman, a verdict being found that
the deceased came to his death at the
hands of Harry English. The jury
also implicated A. J. Rummer and
wife.
We are informed that Mr. Rummer
Swore before the coroner's inquest that
he did not know that English was in
the house, admitting afterwards that
he had been there since the fourth of
the present month.
Friday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Wensel, Constable Horton, George
Woodward, James Rhines, Geo. S.
Rhines, Isaac Corry and Mr. Cart
wright, left this place, all well armed,
and drove that night to to the scene of
the recent murder. Horton and
Woodward drew a bead on a man
with a gun, whom they took to he
English, and only refrained from
firing for fear un iunocent man should
suffer. This was at night when it is
always better to be sure than sorry.
lue commissioners of Elk countv
have offered a reward of f 1000 for the
arrest and delivery of the murderer
to the county jail at Ridgway. He is
described as follow: 85 years old: six
feet high; heavy set; weight about 225
pounds; light hair and light com-
$lMdon; Usually wears a smooth fa.
ii - " " ': '
The supposition Isthatlhe murderer
la still concealed In the woods near
Caledonia. He is well armed having
four revolvers and the repeating Spen
cer rifle, with which the murder was
committed, and a large quantity of
ammunition. The greatest obstacle to
his speedy enpture lies in the fact that
he has a great number of friends and
acquaintances who supply him with
provisions and are ever on the alert to
convey the slightest Intelligence that
may be to his benefit.
No doubt the thousand dollar reward
will be sufficient to place the culprit
Inside I he Jail walls before many days,
which fnct we hope to chronicle in the
nexttssue of The Advocate.

Bradford, Pa., April IS. A special
to the Era from Emporium says In
tense excileniemt prevails at Caledonia
Elk county, Pa , over a terrible
tragedy committed there yesterday
morning by n note.l forger and outlaw
named Harry English. A posse went
from St. Marys to apprehend English
and arrived at his house, near Cale
donia. at 6 o'clock. Constables Wrenth
and Volmer and Justice Burk met
him coming down stairs. Wrenth
ordered him to surrender, hut he went
back up the stairs and locked himself
in a room. The officers drew their
pistols and declared their intention of
taking him, dead or alive. As Con
stable Wreuth came up to the room
English thrust a rifle Hi rough the door
aim nrou, Killing Dim instantly.
Constable Volmer then carried
Wrenlh's body down stairs, and ns he
entered the yard English shot Volmer
who, it is thought will not recover.
English gained the woods durimr the
excitement. While he was runninur
District Attorney Nursell shot him in
the leg. Company H, State Volun
teer's, has been ordered out to capture

The "Sew York, Pittsburgh & Ridg
way."
For many years, as Is well known,
efforts have been made and plans sub
mitted for a new line of railroad which
should connect Pittsburgh with the
Erie Railway, giving an outlet to the
vast coal and lumber interests held by
the latter in Elk county, Pa.
Two questions only had to be dis
posed of time and the northern ter
minus. The protracted period of hard
times, and the unsettled state of Erie's
affairs and management would have
prevented much earlier action, had
the times been ever so favorable. But
now both these points are practically
f ettled, and the time has come when
the new enterprise must take shape
and form.
Definite action was had on Tuesday
by the formal organization of . the
"New York, Pittsburgh and Ridgway
Railroad Company." This company
has lately purchased the charter of
the defunct Rochester, Nunda &,
Pennsylvania R. R., so far as that line
exists in Pennsylvania, and to build a
line from Reynoldsville. (the present
northern terminus of the Allegheny
Valley road; to Eldre.l, h simply to
follow the proposed line of the defunct
road. This opens up the vast coal and
lumber fields of Erie parties. Leav
ing Eldred, the present plan to go to
Ceres, and thence straight to Wells
villeon the line of the late proposed
narrow-aauge road from Wcllsville to
Eldred.
The assurance that this is the route
finally und fully determined upon,
comes from parties hiBh in authority
and close in interest.
The line thus completed is direct
and almost straight from Wcllsville to
Pittsburgh, and its advantages can be
seen at a glance.
The news is good enough to crow
over lustily, but it is doubtless the
better plan to await further develop
ments before shooting off tiie big gun.
But the outlook now is all that could
be desired in the interests of Wells
.:ii, i it i.
yihv iiuu Aiivgneuy county, and we
have the highest authority for believ
the work and the route as proposed
will be pushed to certain and early
completion. Wcllsville Reporter'.
