A very delicato operation was suc
cessfully performed on the 2-year-old
son ot A. J. Hilliard, at Endeavor, Pa.,
on Monday of last week. Eight days
previous the child got a grain of corn in
its windpipo! Dr. W. G. Morrow was
summoned and after administering the
usual treatment the child seemed to get
better, but continued coughing a good
deal, the cough resembling a cold. Dr.
Msgill of Tidioute was called in consulta
tion, and it was decided that the grain
was Btill lodged in the windpipe and the
operation of tracheotomy was determined
upon as the only means of saving the
child's life. Dr. Mngill performed this
delicate task, assisted by Dr. Morrow,
and when the incission was made the
grain of corn popped out as though blown
from au air gun. The child rallied nicely
and has since boen getting well as fast
as possible. ,

The second trial of Fred Rockwell for
the murder of Lewis Haines was hold In
Ridgway, Elk county, last week, and re
sulted in the Jury bringing in a verdict
of murder In the first degree after being
out two and a half hours. This is the
second time within less than eight
months that he has been convicted. The
evidence of the prosecution did not differ
materially from that produced at the
former trial, and the witnesses told pract
ically the same story as before. The main
witness was Mrs. Annie Haines, widow
of the murdered Haines, and who is con
fined in tbejail at this place, nndoi sent
ence of complicity in tho robberios com
mitted by the gang of which Rockwell,
Newell and Haines were members.
Tho Ridgway Advocate says of the star
witnesses: "Mrs. Lewis Haines, who had
boen brought from the Vorest county
jail, and John J. Newell, who lad been
brought from the Huntingdon reforma
tory to tostilly in this case, wore present
In tho court room and attracted more
than ordinary attention. Mrs. Haines
was much heavier than when she ap
peared hero beforo and was a good rec
ommendation for the good faro furnished
Forest county jail-birds. When John J.
Newell, brother of Mrs. Haines was put
on the stand he testiuea among otiier
things that Haines and Rockwell left
homo on the Monday morning before
Christmas. Haines said be was going to
got a Job in the log woods. Rockwell
said ho was going to make Haines believe
he was leading him to the log job by a
short route, was going to kill him and
get his wife. Witness neve saw Haines
alter that. Rockwell came home the next
morning. Newoll found a pocket knife
in a cigar box on a shelf that he had
loaned to Haines and that Haines had
taken with him that fatal Monday morn
ing. At the breakfast table that morning,
in the presence of the entire household,
Rockwell said he had killed Haines and
loft his body in the burning building.
Rockwell at that time told how he had
got Haines to help build a fire in the old
baeksmith shop to got warm by, that
while Haines was on his knees making
shavings with which to build a fire, Rack
well was engaged in knocking some loose
boards off with a heavy Iron liar. That
ho got behind Haines, struck him on the
back of the head with the bar and killed
him. Ho then piled boards upon him
and sec them afire, having first taken the
rubber boots otl the feet of the dead
Haines, taking his cap also and the pock,
et knifo which Haines bad been using
Rockwell fuither staled that he remained
near the burning shop unt I the roof fell
in. He then started home through the
woods, lost his way, came to thn closed
up Holland house, entered it, lighted the
gas, helped himself to some preserves
and crackers, lay down before the fire to
get warm, fell asleep, was awakened by
getting his leg in contact with the stove
or firo, camo on hnme after stealing an
overcoat from the place, tapped on Mrs,
Haines' bedroom window, was admitted
to the house through the window by Mrs.
Newell and sat down ou the side of Mrs
Haines' bed and talked to her while she
aroso and dressed, after which he (Rock
well) assisted in preparing breakfast.
Mrs. Hal nes w as then put on the stand
and her testimony agreed with that given
by her brother and mother, even in
Rockwell's illicit love, the breakfast table
drama, tho frequent previous attempts to
kill her husband, the plans for au elope,
ment and the disappearance of Haines
She said that Rockwell had asked her to
marry him and she told him : "If I were
single and was going to marry, I would
just as soon marry you as anyone else.
She hail objected to the elopement for the
reason that Haines would follow them
and Rockwell had replied that if Haines
followed them be would fix him so li
would give them no further trouble,
Rockwell said that ho would have me.
if he had to kill my husband to get me.
Mrs. Haines said that Rockwell did not
wear an ovorcoat when he left homo with
Haines, but did wear one when he re
turned next morning. When Mrs,
