T1I0MAS MAKES A CONFESSION.
He Tells the Story of How Horses and
Harness Were Taken.
Clarion Republican.
Rumor after rumor was in circulation
last week concerning a supposed confes
sion that Charles O. Thomas, the con
victed horse-thief, bad made. We were
unable to get to see Thomas before leav
ing, so Monday morning tbe Republican
representative boarded tbe train and rode
to Summerville with Thomas. He told
us his story as follows:
Thomas was released from the Western
Ponitentiary last August. He had pre
viously met Eugene Tallman, of Erie
county, who was Berving a sentence for
stealing chickens, in the hospital. Charley
was and Is yet suffering from rheu matisin.
Tallman invited bim to come to bis farm
aud spend the winter. After wandering
around Thomas went to Tallman's and
while there became badly crippled, Tall
man and two others came down into Clar
ion county and stopped with a well
known character near Tylersburg during
tbe week of September 3. This Clarion
county man see in 8 to bave been tbe per
son to tip tbe other fellows olf as to good
places to bit and how to get there. The
Intention was to enter tbe Jewelry store of
Edward Gutb and they came to Clarion
for that purpose on Saturday, September
8, but after looking over tbe premises de
cided that they would have to enter Mr.
Gutb's residence and gave the Job up and
instead cleaned off the clothes line of
some ladies' wearing apparel. Having
been disappointed in their first Job they
looked around for some other place
They bad been disposing of harness and
like goods to a Joint in Cleveland and that
caused their thoughts to turn to a harness
shop and they decided upon Iseman Bros.
They had a two-borse canopy topped two
seated wagon and drove up behind tbe
shop and got what they wanted and
skipped. Thomas would not say which
way or where they were going or did go
as be claims he was not with the party
but at Tallman's borne. But it is reason
ble to suppose that tbey went down the
lower river hill and across to Clarion
Junction and tben followed the railroad
until they met the Leeper road and then
weut to the friend's house, near Tylers
burg. They evidently were there or near
Clarion for tbat same week they visited
tbe Clarion Fair. This Clarion county
man had spotted the Shotts team and took
Tallman and his two companions around
and showed them tbe team. It seemed to
satisfy them for they returned borne on
Tuesday of the following week and began
to make their plans for tte horses. On
their road home they stopped at Leeper
and helped themselves to some blankets
and toilet articles at Dr.. Phillips' store,
which Thomas says were found in the
possession of Mrs. Tallman at Frances'
Corners, Erie county.
Sometime during tbe week Tallman
brought Thomas down to Tylersburg or
to Clarington and Thomas went across to
Brookville from Clarington with the mall
man. What be did at Brookville be dors
not say but be did make DuBois a visit,
Tallman evidently was in tbe vicinity of
Tylersburg all tbat week and on Sunday
two others came down from Erie county
and remained in hiding until Monday,
September 24, when about 9:30 the Shotts
team of grays were taken. Thomas left
Brookville Monday with the Clarington
mail man and came to Clarington and
bad tbe mail man drive bim over in tbe
vicinity of Tylersburg. Thomas got to
tbe place of meeting about 10:30 and
found a man waiting tbere with Tall
man's sorrel pacer, but Tallman and tbe
other man had taken the teem and left.
Thomas and his friend were to follow
and in case of pursuit to drive fast and
give tbe alarm. The route lollowed was
through Lickingville to Tionesta, Pleas-
antville, Titusvllle, Hydetown.by way of
Little Cooley to Cambridge and Edlnboro
ard borne to Frances' Corners, where
they arrived about 0:30 Tuesday morn
Ing, making the 62 miles in about 12
hours. When Thomas got to Titusvllle
he left his friend out of tbe rig and this
fellow was to lollow by easy stages ou the
trolley and thus keep tab if there was
anybody on the trail. There seemed to
be nothing "doing" along tbat line, so
after putting up tbe team, Mr. and Mrs,
Tallman drove to Erie right after dinner
and tbe following morning were met by
one of tbe other fellows, witb a load of
apples, all for tbe purpose of finding if
there was any news. They returned
home and Tallman bad decided to keep
the horses on the farm for bis own use,
but for tbe present It was decided to put
tbem out In pasture, so one was left at
the Tallman farm aud the other taken
about 25 miles and put out in a pasture
lot. When the raid came, of the Erie
county officers, lo search of butter and
cheese, Thomas says Mrs. Tallman took
him to the barn and hid bim and then
took the other horse and went off. Tbe
horses were recovered Just as Thomas
says. After being taken into custody and
taken to the Erie county Jail the goods
and horses were found and turned over
to the owners.
Tallman is at present in the Erie coun
ty Jail and has been playing Insane for
tbe purpose of getting off free. Thomas
was brought here and tried and upon Mrs.
Tallman's evidence was convicted. Just
who the two companions ol Tallman were
in the barnesB steal Thomas will not say,
butone was a Junk dealer from Erie who
travels over the country and with the
aid of the Clarion county man spots the
likely places.
Thomas does not claim that he had
nothing to do with the borne stealing but
says be had no hand in the haruess deal,
as he had not beeu in Clarion since he
was here to testify iu the Kiser murder
trial. He has a reputation in this county
aud has spent most of bis time since boy
hood days in Jail or penitentiary.
Last Friday morning he was carried on
a chair into the court room and Judge
Harry R. Wilson passed sentence upon
bim. Judge Wilson spoke about the pity
the Court felt lor him in his crippled con
dition but that it was his duty to pro
nounce the sentence according to the
law. In the horse stealing case Thomas
was given four years in the peniteutiary,
pay costs ol prosecution and a fine of 200,
Tbe same sentonce was given in tbe har
ness case except the term was made three
years, thus giving Thomas seven years.
Under the law Thomas bad by good be
havior had ills last sentence reduced three
years but on account of bis being re
turned be must uuw do that time aud as a
result he will bave ten years service be
fore bim in tbe "pen," to which place ho
was taken Monday win ning.
The Teachers' Institute.
The annual Institute of the teachers ol
Forest County met In tbe court house,
Monday afternoon, Deo. 17, 1000, and was
formally opened by an address by the
County Superintendent, D. W. Morrison,
In this address the teachers of the county
were warmly welcomed and were com
plimented 'or tbe interest shown by tbem
in tbe cause of education. Tbe superin
tendent stated tbat though 1 lie roads and
woatber were extremely unfavorable for
travol, every teacher in tbe county, with
the exception of two who were detained
by illness, was in attendance. This lat
ter fact clearly proves the loyalty of the
teachers to their superintendent and their
appreciation of what he has done for
tbem. Since his election he has spared
neither time nor money in bis efforts to
further tbe cause of education and that
his efforts have been appreciated by tbe
teachers is bhihly gratifying.
The superintendent has provided an
excellent corps of instructors for tbe
week. In the majority of Institutes only
two or three instructors are provided,
but Supt. Morrison has provided seven,
whlcb gives a constant change aud keeps
up a lively interest all the time. The In
structors are as follows: Dr. Samuel A,
Baer, Principal of tbe Collegiate Institute
at Reading, Pa.; Prof. W. M. Pierce, Su
perintendent of tbe Ridgway Publlo
Schools; Prof. W. G. Ladds, ex-Superintendent
of Venango county; Miss Lucile
Ilinrnan of the Music and Physical Cul
ture Department of tbe Edinboro State
Normal; Dr. J. G. Bocht, Principal of tbe
Clarion State Normal; Jobn F. Bigler,
Priucipal of tbe Ediuboro State Normal;
Geo. W. Mitchell, Principal of the Mar
ienville Publlo Schools.
The evening attractions were selected
wtlb great care and are unusually strong
and the people of Tionesta bave shown
their sppreciation by their liberal patron
age. Course tiokets were sold and nearly
every seat In the couit house was taken,
so very few general admissions could be
sold. On Monday evening The Haw
thorne Musical Club, of Boston, gave a
most pleasing entertainment to a very
appreciative audience. Each member
was an artist in bis line. On Tuesday
evening Tolten, tbe Magician, held a
large audience spell bound for two hours
with bis tricks of magic. This, Wednes
day evening, Tbe Boynton Company will
give a concert. This company comes
highly recommended. On Thursday
evening Dr. Samuel Baer will lecture
on " Environment." The doctor 1b a very
pleasing speaker and no doubt bis lecture
will be entertaining as well as instructive.
A Directors' session will be held Thurs
day morning at 10:15, to be opened with
an address by T. F. Ritchey, Esq., Presi
dent of tbe Connty Association. Anoth
