Fred Trill Found ( n i 1 1
Tho case of the Commonwealth vs.
Fred Frill, charg' d with administering
poison, engaged the attention of Judge
Wilson and a Jury of tho Clarion court a
part of last week.
It will be remembered that last March
Frill was lound in what was supposed to
be a dying condition in a room in a
hotel near Lickingf ille. He had taken
poison with suicidal intent. As soon as
relief reached him he directed the men to
' go to the Harmon residence and look
alter Catherine." A number of men
went to the house and found her dead.
It is alleged tLat poison, consisting of
oil of tansy, was adininislhred or fur
nished by Frill lo Catherine Harmon at
Liekiiigville, on the I2lh of March, 1!H
and that the drug mentioned caused her
death during Hie night nf Hie 12th and
13lh ol March last, Daniel II irmon, the
father nf the dead girl, was the pros
ecutor. The caso was opened to the jur
Fri lay morning by Distr ct Attorney J.
T. Rcinsel.
The ilrst witness called was Mrs. V. D.
Harmon, the mother of the deceased girl.
She has not been livinir with her bus-
baud for some time, and swore that she
occupied the house In Liekiiigville where
Catherine died about tho Ilrst of March,
1002; that about that time she went to
Lolcta to visit her daughter, who is mar
ried to Dick Frill, a brother of the de
fendant; that her daughter, Catherine
and Fred Frill were at tho homo of Hick
Frill whilo she was there, and that Cath
erine and the defendant went to Liekiiig
ville about the 11th of March, 1002; that
Catherine did not take anything along
but some clothing and photographs,
w hich she packed herself in her daugh
ter's valise. Mrs. Harmon also testified
that her daughter, Catherine, ald, just
belore going to Liekiiigville that she hud
got into trouble with the defendant and
that she was going to marry him.
Several witnesses testified that tlio de
fendant was found in convulsions an I in
an upper room in the Wagnor hotol in
Lickingvil.e, about noon of the 13lh of
March, la-t. About 2 p. in., of the same
lay J. G. Sigworlh, Elmer Lukehart
and S. II. Kaster went down to the house
winch tho defendant and dead girl aro al
leged to have occupied together the pre
ceding night. They found Cathreine
Harmon lying dead in bed up shvrs, ith
her right arm thrown over her head and
her loft arm across her breast. Dr. It.
Phillips, of Leeper, and Dr. II. N. Hess,
of Fry burg, both testified that her death
was caused by an overdose, in their opin
ion, of oil ol tansy. Georgo Fletcher, a
druggist, of Fry burg, swore that the de
fendant bought at his store in thai place
on the 1-lh of March last halfan ounce of
oil of tansy and a small buttle of magic
oil and tlio defendant said ihat he had a
swollen jaw for which he wanted the
magic oil. Miss Verna Moalcy of
near Tionesta, gave damaging testimony
against tho defendant.
After being out a short time the jury
on Saturday evening brought in a ver
dict of guilty. Monday morning Frill
was sentenced to pay a line of s700, costs,
and four years in Hie penitentiary.

I'OUlEMAX JIcKMIIiON OF SlYKKI.Y
Shot by Tramp Burglar who Troves
to be Joseph Ilun tlmrii Sent to
Hie Ten From Here
Four Years Ago.
Police Officer O. R. McKibbon was
shot twice aud probably fatally wounded
in Siveriy borough about midnight Tues
day by a desperate character whom he
was about to place under arrest as a sus
picious I'har.ictci.
Shortly before midnight residents ol the
borough w hose homes are in tho vicin
ity ol Imperial avenue and Third street
were amused by the sound of three
pistol shots following closely after each
other as from a sell-acting pistol, fol
lowed by crys for help. A minute or
two later the Citizens Traction company
car ar'ived from O.l City and the motor
man, Homor Sutton, saw Police Oilleer
McKibbon lying in tho middle of Third
strced, near the comer of Imperial, with
a man lying undi r him. He shouted to
the conductor, Omrl Hunter, unshippid
his heavy handle Irom Hie controller and
ran to the assistance of the officer, fol
lowed closely by Hunter. The arrival ol
the car seemed to givo Hie people of Siv
erly more courago and in a short time a
dozen or more men were on Hie scene.
Blood was gushing from a terrible
looking wound In Hie jow or neck of the
officer uud from a bullet hole in his right
breast, lie had succeeded in wresting
Hie weapon from bis prisoner aud wa
holding him aud shouting for assi. lance.
It was about 11:30 o'clock at night that
Officer McKibbon called into the Tuck
pnarmacy and accompanied Hie proprie
tor home. Thoy were walking west when
they passed the desperado, who spoke to
tbein. On leaving Mr. Tuck at the lat-
ter's gate Mr. McKibbon slated that he
would go back and ask the strangor his
business. McKibbon overtook the man
and a-ked him where he was going. Tho
si ranger replied that he w as going lo Hie
Imperial yards lo take a freight car out ol
the place. McKibbon tl en said he would
go w iih the man to the yards. Just then
Iho fellow staggered away as though
drunk an I Immediately opened lire upon
the policeman. There were three shots
lired two of which took effect. McKib
bon had left his handcuffs and revolver
at homo and had only his mace for pro
tection. After boing shot ho struck Iho man
who had shot him, on the forehead, knock
ing him down and (ell on top of bliu, at
Hie same time calling fur help and taking
the gnu from him. Theso facts were giv
en by the officer Immediately after the
prisoner had been captured and before
the ollieor had so lar collapsed from
shock, loss of blood, and pain, to lose bis
clearness of mind. The prisoner was
placed on tho car anil taken to Oil City
where he was locked up for the night.
During tho ride to the city a bundle con
taining drills, fuse and other like articles
used by tramp safebrcnkors. It soon
developed next day that tho desperado
was nono other than Joseph Haw thoriio,
alias Manning, who was tried and sent to
the penitentiary from Foiest county for
a term of live years for stealing hides
from the Hickory tannery and a bicycle
from Jas. II. Kelly of this place. At the
bearing this identity was made clearer
by an exhibition of two photographs
tuken whilo the lellon was in ja;l here,
anil presented to (he Oil City authorities
by Mr. Kolly, who had preserved them.
Hawthorne could not have been out of
the pen more than a week or two, for ho
was sent up in Septomber, 180S, for II v
years, and Ins release was gained thus
early through good behavior, no doubt.
Barber Charles Russell of this plaeo was
convicted as an accomplice of Hawthorne
in Hie hide stealing affair and sent down
for three years.
Po. iceman McKibbon, Hie officer
thiotigli whose bravery and nerve Hie
desperado was captured, bids fair to ro-
cover from his fearful wounds, his great
pluck being responsible largely for the
favorable turn In bis condition, for his
physicians hail liltlo hopo of his recovery.
It is believed Hawthorne has accom
plices, end strenuous ellorts aro being
made by tho police authorities to locate

Itollcr nu Proper Lease Let Louse.
A twcnty livo horse power boiler on
Hie Proper lease, How man tract, out be
yond Cropp II ill, exploded last Thurs
day, but luckily no one was hurt. Char
lie Killmer and Albert Behrens had Just
taken thoir tour alter the noon hour, and
both wero in Hie derrick at tho lime. The
safety valve was not working any ton
well and some extra weights had been
used to hold it dow n, and it is not known
how much steam was on, but Charlie
thinks there may have boen 200 or 3n0
pounds. At any rate there was enough,
and when the lliing let go it acted as
though tliero might have been a thousand
pounds. One side of tho boiler was
thrown a distance of over 2iK) feet cutting
oil a small tree in its wako about lifteen
feet up the trunk. Tlio boiler was agood
one, worth about $uo, Lul couldn't stand
such a presi.ure. In about two minutes
more Albert, the tool dresser, would hsve
been "right .next" the machine, ami ol
course It is unnecessary to calculate i
w here he would have been now or imme
diately alter. It was a lucky blow-up
and will doubtless make the boys mine
careful in future.
