Mrs. Kafe Edwards Pardoned After Serving Almost Thirteen Years in Prison
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
LXXXIII— No. 50
EXPERT PENMANSHIP
TAUGHT JUDGE AND
JURY IN WILL CASE
Rif Blackboard, Crayon and Pho
tographs Are Used in
the Course
WRITING LIKE HUMAN FACE
Though Expression May Be Chang
- ing Constantly, Features
Are the Same
President Judge Kunkel and a Dau
phin county common pleas Jury got
more than an hour's lesson In expert
penmanship this morning.
A big blackboard, crayon and a
dozen or more photographs were used
in the course.
And David M. Carvallo, New York,
one of the country's leading penman
ship and handwriting experts, was the
Instructor.
The testimony of Carvallo was the
first step of the defense in the Mar
garet Durkees will contest. The pur
pose is to shatter the contention of
Mrs. Minnie Moore, the plaintiff, that
she is the sole beneficiary of Mrs.
Durkees.
Some time after Mrs. Durkees' death
Mrs. Mooro offered for probate what
purported to be the last will and testa
ment of the dead woman. This was a
little slip of yellow paper, which, Mrs.
Moore contended, was found in the
corner of an old picture frame taken
from Mrs. Durkees' home. It stated
that instructions relative to the dis
position of the estate could be found
in a bit of paper "in the hem of my
black silk dress." Mrs. Moore searched
and in the hem found another slip of
paper which simply said that tho dead
woman bequeathed everything to Mrs.
Moore "because she knew Mrs. Moore
loved her." A codicil substantiating
this was found in an old photograph
album. The estate is said to be worth
between $7,000 and SB,OOO.
Allege Will Forgery
Sarah Kirchner, iiiiza Collier and
.Harriet Briggs Hamilton, relatives of
Airs. Durkees. contend that the will
and codicil are forgeries and contested
the probating of the instruments. Tho
action now pending Is the proceeding
to compel the admission of the papers.
The letter "y" was the character
Carvallo used to illustrate the differ
ences in the handwriting of people
and he demonstrated with crayon and
the blackboard just how the training
of the writer will not permit him to
omit the essential characteristics even
though the writing Is disguised.
"Handwriting is like the he mam
face," said the expert; "even though
tho expression may be constantly
changing, the features never change."
The protographs were reproductions
of a letter written by Mrs. Durkees
and the Instruments reputed to be the
will and codicil, both of the same date.
Step by stop Carvallo took tho judge
and jury through the course in the
preparation of the letters, the differ
ence In pressure of the pen. tbo How
of tho ink, the position of the writer,
the haste or steadiness of the writer.
What Expert Shows
Airs. Durkees, though 73, was noted
for her unusually lino penmanship.
Her letter was a model of nearly per
feet writing and spelling. By com
parison Carvallo pointed out that the
writing of the "will" and "codicil" was
rough and evidently hurried, the spell
ing poor, while the formation of the
letters lacked the essential character
istics of Mrs. Durlcees' handwriting.
A hush spread over the courtroom
as Carvallo talked. The silence was
interrupted only once. That was tho
scratching of Judge Kunkel's pen as
he tried the effect of pen and ink on
paper.

UNCONSCIOUS WHEN FOUND
All Efforts to Revive Old Man Fail;
Horse Trots

Huddled over the dashboard of his
sleigh on the Shellsvllle-Palmyra road.
Benjamin Humer, aged 73, Shells
ville, was found so badly frozen early
yesterday morning that he died of ex
posure about 4 o'clock in the after
noon.
Humer's horse hitched to the sleigh
stood nearly shoulder deep in a snow
drift, unable to proceed farther.

over the lower end of the county as
a huckster, left Palmyra about 8
o'clock Wednesday evening. Until he
was discovered half buried In the snow
yesterday morning two miles below
Grantvilie, his whereabouts were un

in the dark, floundered into the drift
and couldn't get out. And there, it is
believed, he sat until morning.
Oliver Hetrick, a farmer living a
short distance from the road, discov
ered the stranded sleigh and uncon
scious occupant about 8 o'clock. A
passing deliveryman helped Hetrick
carry the old man to the Hetrick
farm. The horse was cut loose from
the sleigh and, following Its usual cus
tom, it plodded out of the drift and
trotted home.
Kvery possible effort was made to
revive the frozen old huckster, but he
never regained consciousness.

NIBLOWtTIItIC
Telegraph Brings Series Here For
Benefit of Those Who Are
Unable to Travel
That the Telegraph has hit upon a
popular idea and one that has created
a wide interest of talk is shown by
the number of inquiries that have
been coming into the business office
asking for the announcements of the
various programs that will be pre
sented in the Niblo Travel Talks.
This series containing hundreds of
the very finest of colored views, many
of which were colored in Paris 'and
in addition to the colored views, 25,-
000 feet of the finest of motion pic
tures make up a set of programs that
should have a wide appeal to the
people of this city and one that they
will remember with considerable in
terest. The Telegraph, in the field to
offer its readers only' the best, has
made special arrangements whereby
it can offer an opportunity for the
stay-at-home tourist to enjoy all the
pleasures of foreign travel at a cost
that would be less than the average tip
given for a small favor.
The Niblo Travel Talks opened this
season for an engucement of two
weeks at Tremont Temple, Boston,
one of the largest and finest halls In
the country and the same place where
the Burton Holmes and other
Travelogues are given. The success of
the series was such that the original
engagement was extended twice and
the run was for seven consecutive
weeks at prices that were 25 cents to
SI.OO.
Where Series Has Appeared
The Niblo Talks have appeared in
the belter class of theaters in Phila
delphia, Washington, New York and
have been very favorably received
everywhere. Last month they ap
peared under the auspices of the Mo

an organization that includes the Gov
ernor of the State, the president of
the Michigan University and the su
perintendent of public schools of De

selected from all other offerings and
played at prices of 25 to 50 cents.

j Orville Wright, here from Dayton, yes

On the possibility of thi Wanama-

:as many of his contemporaries. He
I does not believe that the aeroplane

New Cumberland Pa., Feb. 27. —When Bruce Taylor, a milk dealer, who residos at Sixth and Bridge street#,
found a horse and a wagon load of chickens back of his house on the morning of February 2, he didn't figure
that he would have to feed the animal for over wo months. The owner is undoubtedly a chicken thief. The
chickens which occupied the wagon were stolen from a farm near White Hill. The supposition is that before the
driver had a chance to get into the wagon after stealing the fowls, the horse started to run, outdistancing its
owner and stopping where Mr. Taylor caught it. The owner of the chickens recpvered his property a few davs
after the theft but the owner of the horse and wagon is afraid to put in his appearance for fear of being ar
rested as a chicken thief. The horse, according to law, will have to be sold at public sale, after advertisements
are inserted in the county paper?.

MILLS 1«4
9-Month Year and Changes of Gov
ernment Materially Lessen
Expenditures
Harrisburg's present lax rate of
nine and a half mills will likely remain
unchanged during the ensuing year,
according to the City Commissioners
who held the first conference this af
ternoon on the new budget ordinance
for 1914.
Amendments to the license ordi
nance were discussed too, and it is
probable that some of the mercantile
rates will be changed Tuesday.
The year of 1914 so far as the city's
expenditures in concerned, begins the
first Monday in April and ends Decem
ber 81, 1914. Thereafter the city year
will extend from the first of one year
to the first day of the next.
The budget ordinance was introduced
in skeleton form at Tuesday's meeting
of Council and 3 o'clock this afternoon
was fixed for the first meeting. Only
the salaries and such other expendi
tures that are already fixed by law,
were included in the measure. The
various commissioners have been busy
'for the last week or so putting finish
ing touches to their departmental esti
mates. These will likely require a
little paring down at that.
Eixpcnscg Reduced
The appropriation last year totaled
$529,129.12. Nine months' expendi
tures ordinarily would mean $396,-
846.84. In addition to this the changes
in the government will cut down the
expenses to the extent of more than

'of the clerk to Select Council, contin

rent expenses, the SI,BOO in salaries

Outbreak Is Traceable to Woman
Who Came From Virginia
Four Weeks Ago
Special to The Telegraph
Marietta, Pa,, Feb. 27. —Bainbridge
and Blllmyer, Lancaster county towns
near here, are practically under tem
porary quarantine on account of the
discovery of Bmallpox In families of
both places yesterday. Dr. J. L. Mow
ery, county medical inspector, who
lives in Lancaster, received a tele
phone message to go to Bainbridge
and investigate a suspicious case of
sickness. He found Mitchel Banks
liad been suffering for two days. He
investigated further and found six
well-developed cases in the neighbor
hood, The Banks case is said to be
directly traceable to Carrie Robertson,
who came here froni Falls Church,
Va., four weeks ago. She had the dis
ease when she came to Bainbridge and
still has It. Her husband works at
the Blllmyer quarries, about a half
mile from Bainbridge, and they board
with a family by the name of Timber
lake at Bainbridge.
Dr. Mowery found Mrs. Tiniberlake
and her youngest child ill with the
disease. Three other children of the
Tiniberlake family were at school in
the five-room school building at Bain
bridge. They had been vaccinated re
cently and do not have smallpox.
Their presence at the school, however,
exposed the other pupils to contagion
and the entire building is closed and
will be fumigated. The schools will
be reopened on Monday morning if
there are no further developments.
All the families affected have been
quarantined and the members will be
vaccinated. Dr. Mowery has appointed
Dr. Worth, of Bainbridge, as smallpox
physician and he wljl begin a general
vaccination to-day .
Dr. Mowery fears a general out
break and will take every means to
prevent the snread of the disease.

home he hailed a man passing In a
sleigh and asked him to take him
along. Without knowing he had
smallpox he consented and exposed
himself to the disease. Dr. Mowery
vaccinated him and fumigated his
sleigh.

Huerta Wants Wilson
to Halt Shipment of
Arms Into Republic
By Associated Press
j Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.—After
a long lapse In the diplomatic ex
changes between Washington and the
City of Mexico an attempt has been
made to reopen the correspondence by
the submission of an appeal by tho'
Huerta government for the reconsid
eration by the United States of the
recent raising of the embargo on
arms to Mexico.
The feature of the Mexican com
munication. said to have been tssued
at Mexico City last night. Is the alle
gation that a state of anarchy now
exists in so much of Mexico as is occu
pled by the rebel forces, and it is also
charged that the Immediate effect of
the decree permitting the exportation
of arms has been to place the rebels
In a favorable situation for permit
ting outrages, while preventing tho
Huerta government from repressing
them as quickly and as energetically
as it desires.
On the other hand, it is set but
that wherever the Huerta government
is in power protection has been given
foreigners.
Therefore the United States is in
vited to reflect seriously "upon the sail
consequences" that arming of rebels
will bring, in the opinion of the Huerta
government.
