RODDYS HEADED OFF.
Their BiUswea Wsll iui Plana to Break
Jatl Clevar'iy rrai'.ratel by SberiS
HarlzilL
7ILL AP?2iL F32
As tbe day approaches fbrthsexseution
of th It id ly b-jys senntion.il rumors of
a startling character hare lieeu set aibiat
iu dilTe-rent parts of the county.
The litest one was sprung Monday
morning when it was muuouiiccJ that
Sheriff Hartr-ell Lad cleverly frustrated
the plans of the murderers to escape
from tbe county jiil in which they have
been confined for a period of twenty-one
months. The- news rapidly spread
throughout town ant) In the course of a
half-hour was the sole topic of conversa
tion, overshadow ing for the time being
talk about war with Spain.
S'ueritr llartzjil says that he accident
ally learned Sunday morning while wait
ing at the station for tho-arrival of the
train from Johnstown that, tbe Roddy
boys had all of their plans laid to escape
and were only waiting for a favorable op
portunity to carry them Into effect. As
toon as he returned to tbe jail he visited
the corridor of the prison iu which the
Roddys were confined to learn that bis
information was correct.
Investigation revea!cl that two or three
of the iron bars in tht grating protecting
the north-west window opening from the
upper corridor of the jail bad been neatly
sawed through and the openings made by
the saw had been cleverly concealed with
black putty. It would only bve requir
ed a minute or two at an opportune time
to have forced the grating apart aud made
escupe from the jiil an easy matter.
Without informing the condemned men
of the discovery he had made the Sheriir
conducted them to cells ou the opposite
tide of the jail, the same In which the
Nicely brothers wore confined just prior
to their execution. Thorough investiga
tion afierwa:ds made failed to disclose
any tilings beueath where the rods hid
lieeu sawed or any saws or other instru
ments with which the rods could hive
leen cut. Sheriff Hartzell was loth to
believe and does not believe that the Rod
dy boys were prepiriu t o escipa, bit as
a precautionary step he doeidod to sepa
rate them and to keep a cl-s9 guard upon
them from now on until tbe day set for
the d mble exaauli on arrives.
The Roddy boys have been notably
tradable throughout their confinement
and have won tbe good will and sympathy
of Sheriff Hart.ell and the other prison
oilicials with whom they have been
brought iu contact, none of whom are
willing to believe, even in face of the sus
picious circumstances mentioned, that
they had planned to escape.
When the R d lys were spoken to in re
gard to the sawed gratiuj; they admitted
frankly that they bad known all about it
for a ye ir or in ire an 1 claimed that the
bars bad been cot, at the instance of per
sons engaged in hunting up evidence
against them, by a prisoner named Rei
ser. Th'y siy tb it tb?y told their attor
neys about it at tbe time, and declare
that the thought of escaping from jail
never entered their minds; that they rely
upon favorable consideration ,r theircase
by the Pardon Board, and in c.isj the
Pardon Board refuse to grant them a par
don or commute the sentence of death to
life imprisonment, they will walk boldly
opon the trap anil die entirely innocent
of the murder of David Berkey.
The attorneys of the condemned broth
ers admit that their clients more than a
year ago informed them of the grating
hnving been cut on one of the jiil win
dows, but that they did not deem it ad
visable to make tho matter public under
the circumstances, as they hoped to so
curo evidence through the prisoner Kai
ser that would go to establish tho fact
that testimony had beeu manufactured
against the Roddy boys. The attorneys
declare their positive belief in the inno
cence of their clients and have always
claimed that they would not attempt es
cape if the doors of the prison were open
ed fr them and they were urged to iloe.
Another rumor as absurd as it is sense
less is to the effect that Sheriff Hartzell
believes the Roddy boys inuoccnt and
will resign bis high otlh-e ra.ber than car
ry out the penalty of the law. Denial of
this nonsensical report Is unnecessary
where that officer is known. Repugnant
as the duty imposed upon biui may be.
Sheriff Haitzull is not the man to ll inch
from duty and he will carry out tho sen
tence of the li .v, if callel upon to do so,
with the dignity and sense of responsi
bility that have characterized his private
and official life.
Couu.-el for the K oddys are hard at
work securing signers to a p-Hition ad
dressed to tho Pardon B mrd praying for
a pardon or commutation of seutenca to
life imprison meut for their clients. They
a-goe th:it the R iddysare innocent of the
murder of Divid Berkey aoJ profess to
believe that the guilty parties are at large
and may yet be delected aud arrested. In
support of their statements th.y q'lotea
ir.unU rof facts that have recently come
into their possession tending to show tbe
innoceuce of the Roddys.
District Attorney Colborn received a
letter a few days ago that bad been posted
in Altoou in whjch th? anonymous and
blasphemous writer declares th it he was
one of the murderers of David Berkey
and swears eternal vengeance upon those
who have been instrumental in convict
ing tbe Roddy boys of tho crime. The
communication referred to is one of the
vilest letters ever penned, too obscene to
even read.
Attorneys for the commonwealth will
resist w ith all their power the application
of tbe Roddys fir pardon or even for
Oiiimutation of sentence, all of them le
ing entirely satisfied that they are tho
guilty parties and that the law should be
permitted la take iu course.

Mr. J. W. Pk k, .
iKvir Sir: You bulng the only poor
house director with whom I am person
ally acquainted, I beg lenve to congratu
late you aud through you the entire board
for the able manner (n which, according
to your full and elaborate report, you
have conducted the affairs of the county
borne during the yea' 1'7. The compre
hensive showing ef the prosperous man
ner iu which the firming operations have
been successfully performed proves most
conclusively that your honorable board
have the credit for the county's poor be
ing amply provided for, and lhat tbe un
fortunate inmates have every comfort
losille furnished. By your systematic
management and the selection of a stew
ard who works with and co-operates to
supply the wants and comforts of the un
fortunates, dearly sets forth that duty,
and not salary-grabbing, Is the object of
your honorable board. By a systematic
method of bookkeeping you cau aud do
exhibit a full and satisfactory monthly
statement of your efforts to faithfully dis
charge your duties as directors.
The productiveness of the fanning op
erations reminds me of an incident that
occurred in the c uniniitee of nine who
were appointed to make a selection of a
farm for the county home, of which Sam
uel Miller, of Somerset, ex-Sheriff Im
h"ff, of Soinorset, Benjamin Kimmel, of
Stonycreek, Joseph Miller, of tjaemaho
ning, and Judge Chorpenuing, of Somer
set, from whom tho farm was bought,
which was considered by many as an un
wise selection. Soon after tbe selection
was made I happened to meet Major
Kimmel and MsjorlmhofT at court, when
they were discussing the poor choice they
had made, Iinholf contending that it was
the proper place, and Kimmel opposing
it, when M.ij or Kinimt l called me to wit
ness that he would bind himself to cradle
all the wheat they could raise upon that
farm in one day. The steward's report
shows clearly what can be done by judi-(
cious farming, which ought to be an in
centive to our farmers to exert themselves
to cultivate their farms systematically.
The statement of the assessors for lSiT,
showing the productiveness of Somerset
county farms, the total production being
nearly two hundred and fifty thousand
bushels of wheat, liesidus large quanti
ties of corn, hay, oats potatoes, and all
other items largely produced, gives our
farmers tho assurance that Somerset
county ere long will become the produc
tive garden-spot of tho great common
wealth of Penn.sylvauia.

Something About the Frtsent Ovaer of the
Boah Eiberta Farm.
Pittsburg is to lose its oldest artist, who
still wields the brushes in a downtown
studio. That means loso him In tbe sense
that be will no longer put his beautiful
fancids ou canvas in a worksh p ia tbe
city. Hot Het.)1 is uot going to stop
work if he is 7J years old; no, indeed:
he's just s busy as he ever was, siys the
Pittsburg Tost.
Ilctzel began bis artistic career by be
coming an apprentice to a bouse and sign
painter. In this capacity hescrved about
four years, and during the latter part
of that ti in 9 nearly all tbe business
signs iu tho city were pain ted by Het
zel. The next step ho took toward fame was
to go into business with a fresco painter.
He spent a boot six tnonlh painting in
the old Western penitientiary.
Some time after that he spent two yf ars
of study in Dusseldorf, Prussia, which
was one of tbe greatest of the European
art gen Ires.
Nearly all HcUel's summers have been
spent iu oeunlry roving. Tbe first land
scape he ever painted was "Brady's Leap"
on Slippery Rock creek. Brady waa
celebrated Indian fighter, and that was a
place where he aaved bis soalp by rut
jumping the savages who were chasing
him. S. alp Level, has been a favorite re
sort with the artist.
HeUel's studio for the future will be on
bis farm near Somerset, Pa., whore the
family will take up their residence after
a few weeks. There his brushes will be
just as constant companions as they have
been during tbe long years be has spent
ia tbe city.

cosrrx?! roz thz public.
Two full month have picsed slnca the
auditors filed tljeir aiinunl report of tho
receipts ami rxpeudituies of the county.
The report i.i miiut respects was the mmt
notable ever presented for tho considera
tion of the taxpayers. '
In it woro embodied strictures reflect
ing upon the official conduct and man- .
agement of those sworn honestly and
economically to conduct public affairs
that few guiltless officials would permit
to go unanswered for ao long a time.
The auditors fouru? that county funds
hsvs been carelessly, If not illegally,
withdrawn from the treasury ; they found
that county orders have been issued from
two or three rources; that orders bearing
interest have been issued, which they be
lieve waa done without warrant of law,
and to the prejudice of the taxpayers;
that the minute-book kept by the com
missioners Is a farce, inasmuch as it fails
to set forth the public work performed by
tho officers in that office; that officials
were paid for services rendered the county
before the same were furnished ; that or
ders were isued upou presentation of un
itemized bills; that contracts have been
secretly let to the prejudieebf the people ;
that rebates were unlawfully granted on
taxes legally assessed; that public furni
ture was disposed of for which no return
was made to the county ; that the records
were juggled in ordtr to deceive tbe aud
itors and taxpayers; that unnecessary
furniture was provided for public offices
at an extravagant price, aud that money
received for tho county by the commis
sioners was not turned into the county
treasury.
Tho above are serious reflections to cast
upon the official integrity of gentlemen
who were elevated to office upon the de
ceitful cry of "reform," but they mast be
accepted by the taxpayers of the county
as indisputable facts, so long as they re
main unanswered and unchallenged.
If the allegations of the sworn officials
charged with auditing the accounts of the
county are false and untrue, the commis
sioners, whom the public hold responsi
ble for the abuses complained of, are not
as jealous of their honor and integrity as
are most men under similar circumstan
ces, for up to this hour tbey have not en
tered a single denial of the charges pre
ferred. Tho manner in which certaiu officials
have met tbe issue forced upou them has
been highly discreditable, and unworthy
of men charged with the conduct of pub
lie affairs. A grossly libelous and unau
thorized attack on the personal ch iracter
of their accusers was published, and after
it recoiled upon the heads of the mali
cious authors, efforts have been made to
cloud the issue by published reflections
upon the character of disinterested par
ties, but up to this hour not a single one
of the charges brought by the auditors iu
their official capacity has been authorita
tively denied.
Why this long silence upon the part of
those who have been elevated to otlice
upon tbe plea that they were "reform
ers," and, having previously served as
county commissioners, were better pro
pared tose?ure economical management
of public affairs than others? Are the
allegations made by the auditors all true,
and are tho accused officials afraid to have
the lid lifted for fear that it will expose
them to the public in their proper light?
Public ollieials, wrongfully accused
of mismanagement and other offenses
against public policy, as a rule are not
so slow in .setting themselves straight
before tbe people who have honored
them with their votes.
Tho issue forced by the auditors can
not be clouded from the eyes of the
public by the fatuous plea of Messrs.
Shober aud Kimmeli that tinder their
administration in the commissioners'
otlice taxation wa "systematically re
duced," whereas every taxpayer in the
county knows from personal experience
that local taxatiou has advanced or re
mained stationary on depreciating real
estate, and they also know that county
expenditures reached their highest ebb
during the hard times of 1.SH0.
The Herald has pointed out the road
to lie followed by the taxpayers, espe
cially by those who have recently allied
themselves with the State organization
known as tbe "Taxpayers Union," in
order to bring about a reform in this im
portant public olllo'j, and to convince the
residents of tbe county that thoir protest
ations of honest and economical ail min
istration of public affairs is sincere, and
not a blind to accomplish selfish pur
poses. Will the "Unionists' follow it, or
will they exert their best efforts to cover
up the sins of their political partners and
leave the county treasury opei to be pil
laged by those who have basely deceived
tho people?

Another Deolsion Against Alien Tax law.
Another decision bas been given against
tbe alien tax law, this time by tbe Blair
county court, which holds that the act is
in conflict with the provision of tbe con
stitution requiring equal taxation and
that it puts a premium on idleness and
taxes the industrious of a class.
The objections which the courts have
made to tbe alien tax law were raised
during its introduction in the legislature,
but w ere thought to be sufficiently an
swered by its supporters. The purpose
of the act is sound, but it is necessary, of
course, that any restrictions upon theciu-
ployment of alien labor shall be clearly
w itliin tbe limits secured by tbe constitu
tion, and if the supreme court take tbe
same view of this act that has been taken
l.y tbe courts of several of ihe counties,
l he legislature will have to try some ot h
er plau. Philadelphia Times.

Tbe work of overhauling tbe dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius, completing the work
on ber guns, and fitting ber up for active
servicf, is now almost finished, and she
prol.al.ly will be ordered to leave Wash
Ington Navy Yard witbln the next two
days. Her officers do not know as yet
where she will be ordered, but it is
thought she will go first to Norfolk and
then proceed to southern waters. The
meu are busily employed at present in
giving ber a coat of paint, preparatory to
painting her a dark green. The officers
say that it is almost impossible to discov
er a vessel at night wheu painted with
this color, even by means of a search
light The Vesuvius bas uot as yet taken
atoard the many tons of dynamite that
she carried in her magazines; this u ill be
the last thing that will le loaded.
Ooe of the officers, discussing the os
nihility of hostilities, said:
"There is one satisfaction alsnit being
alioard a ship like this in case we are
struck right There will no Board of
Inquiry, and no trouble about divers, etc.
The only thing to do will be to erect a
monument to our memory and attend to
our obituary notices, for there w ill not lie
a piece of the boat left big enough for a
souvenir. A toat of this style either
does fearful damage to her enemies or
goes under in short order herself. Mod

work, anyhow, and we represent the
very quickest type of death-dealing ics
