Rockwell Found Utility.
Fred K. Rockwell, the man charged
with Rilling Lewis Haines In Jonos
township, Elk county, last winter, was
found guilty of murder In the first de
gree at Ridgway, Thursday. The jury
was out only an hour. The affair was of
the highly sensational order. On Jan
uary 3 the charred remains of a man
were found In the ashes of an old black
smith shop on Mill creel. A month later,
after skillful work, detectives Identified
the remains as those of Lewis Haines,
and Fredorick Rockwoll was arrested
charged with the murder. At a prelim
inary hearing Mrs. Nowell, mother of
Haines' wife, testified that Rockwell told
her he had killed Haines and piled brush
over the body, then set fire to It to con-
coal tho crime. Mrs. Ne well's son told
that Rockwoll and Mrs. Haines had been
Intimate and Rockwell was Icalous of the
husband. He told witness that he meant
to kill Haines, and afterward told him
that he had done so.
We would like to give the testimony
in the case in full, but space will not per
mit, so we will give only the testimony
ol Mrs. Haines, the main witness in the
case, who was taken to Ridgway by
Sheriff Walker last week. Her tosti
timony, which we take from the Elk
Democrat, is as follows :
Mrs. Annie Haines Been married 11
years ; have four living children j oldest
ten years old j voungest fifteen months
old ; lived at Sefdom Seen last December;
Fred Rockwell and I were quite inti
mate; I told Rockwell 1 would marry
him if my husband should die; kissed
Fred after my husband died; Fred
wanted to elope with me, but I refused;
my husband said he would come back as
soon as he got work ; my husband ac
cused me with being mean with Fred
Rockwell when I wasn't; identified cap
Haines wore when he lelt home the last
time; Haven't Been my husband since;
saw Fred the next morning ; came in
window and sat down on my bed ; Fred
said he got Lew down on his knees whit
tling shavings; drew twice to strike him;
hit him the third time and killed him;
piled stuff on him and set him on fire;
Fred says now you are led Bingle and I
can marry you ; I replied I will Bee; saw
Fred in the Tionesta jail often ; kissed
him frequently.
Cross examination Never said my
husband was going to York state ; my
husband kissed the baby before he loft,
but don't think be kissed me; don't
know whether my husband is dead;
Fred Rockwell said he was.
Although the evidence seemed to be
very conclusive, Rockwell's attorney, E.
J. Wimmer, made a motion for a new
trial. The Judge plainly intimated that
a dozen new trials would not help his
client's case any, and advised Mr. Wim
mer not to hold out any hope to the con
victed man. However, he would hear
his argument for a now trial at the next
Argument Court on Monday, May 24, so
Rockwell's neck is safe for a short time
at least.

The W. R. C. have made arrangements

oil paintings fully and truthfully repre

explanation is a plain simple story of
twenty-two union soldiers of the second,
twenty-first aud twenty-third Ohio Reg
iments, acting under the orders of Gen
eral O. M. Mitchel, capturing a train ot
cars in Georgia in 1862, from the enemy's

soldiors! They show the capture of the
train, the escape, cutting the telegraph
wires, tearing up track and burning up
bridges; fuel gives out; pursued by

would very likely be unable to recover
from tho Insurance compauies. Ex.
