CROWDED COURTS
GET ATTENTION OF
THE GRAND JURY
Lnusual Conditions Cause In
convenience to Witnesses
Before High Body
Better accommodations for wit-j
nessed in attendance before the
grand jury are recommended in tin?
report filed at this session of court.
Because of the three court sessions
held during the week the grand jury
room at the rear of the building has
used by Judge S. J. M. McCarrel!
and one of the smaller jury rooms
near the front of the building by
the grand jury.
Dtlring the entire Week the hall
on the second lloor of the Court
house was crowded with scores of
witnesses waiting to be called either
to testify in court on that floor or
before the grand jury with the re
sult that at times the corridor WHS
almost impassable. Added to this
congestion were the many men who
came to the city council chamber to
have lawyers help them fill out ques
tionnaires. With each session of
Criminal Court and the constantly
increasing number of cases, lack of
adequate accommodations for three
cessions of court and for the grand
jury is becoming more noticeable,
court officials say. Usually, when
tnree court sessions are held the
council chamber is pressed into ser
vice but its use this week by regis
trants and attorneys prevented turn
ing it into a courtroom.
117 Indictments Returned
The grand jury returned 147 bills
of indictment and ignored thirty-one
during the week. The authorities in
charge of lhe county almshouse are
commended for the exceptionally
good condition in which the institu
tion is kept and for the care, conduct
and management of'it. A simitar
commendation is gjyen the prison
warden and his attendants.
Quasi criminal actions were dis
posed of before Judge McCarrel! in
Courtroom No. 3 this morning. W.
M. Filton was acquitted of unlaw
fully operating a motor vehicle; Jo
seph Tressler and Katie Slesser were
acquitted of one serious charge and
each convicted on another, and at

FOR THE BELGIANS!
Hundreds of children thronged
to a theater party given by Miss
Florence Tiniponi at the Majestic
theater this afternoon. All chil
dren who brought garments for
the Belgians were admitted
without charge.
Mrs. E. K. Waltz, Penbrook,
and Mrs. Dillon, mothers of llar
risburg boys wlio gave their lives
in France, are working In the
Fourth and Market street rooms.
They gave their lioys; now they're
giving themselves.
Men ol' the city did'not respond
to the call for volunteer packers.
It wus accessary to call soldiers
from Middletown and Marsh Run
to help. Men ai*e urgently needed!
Have you given your share?
CITY SHORT FIVE
TONS FOR BELGIANS
[Continued from First Page.]
lliii brought a big truck load and
other West Shore to'wns responded
gladly to he appeal for aid.
Believing that they could do more
f, ven when they had given their sons
to the cause of democracy, Mrs. E.
K. Waltz, Penbrook, and Mrs. Dil
lon. mothers of war heroes, brought
their sons clothing to the headquar
ters at Fourth and Market streets,
I last night. When they saw the great
need for workers, they plunged into
the hard task of assorting and pre
paring the clothes forpacking.
Contributions of money came from
many sources. A man who refused
to give his name came into the
headquarters yesterday • afternoon
with a crsp five-dollar bill. "Take
this for the Belgians," he said.
"Sorry I can't give more!"
Many Send Money
Resolving that every bit of con
tribution shall go to the Belgians,
all scraps of paper were saved by
the women workers. Last night they
were sold and another contribution
of $3.05 deposited in the bank by
Mrs. Gipple. More than a hundred
dollars in monetary contributions
has been received. This will be used
to purchase more clothing.
Because Harrisburg men did not
respond to the call for volunteer
workers to do packing and assist in
preparing the clothing, it was neces
sary for the Officials in charge of the
campaign to invoke assistance of
soldiers from Middletown and Marsh
Run. Through the courtesy of com
manding officers a number of the
men were detailed to assist the work.
Mrs. H. E. Lucas, of Red Cross
headquarters, was kept busy all the
day yesterday answering the persist,
ent jangle of the telephone. "Send a
motor messenger or a truck for some
clothes," was the burden of the mes
sages. It is requested that if it is
possible to bring the packages to the
headquarters this should be done,
since it is virtually impossible to an
swer ail tlie calls.
Send Racking Cases
It is also requested that firms
throughout the city send packing
cases. Although the gifts of many
big stores have been generous, it is
necessary to secure more boxes, it
was explained.
Special praise was given by of
fiials to Mr. Belsinger, of the Penn
sylvania Transfer Company, who as
sisted very materially in makig the
campaign a virtual success. Among
the contributions was a big bag of
clothing addressed "For the Bel
gians, Care Harrisburg Telegraph."
The label bore the name of A. C.
Hocker, R. D. No. 1, Newburg.
Actress Gives Party
Through the courtesy of Manager
C. Floyd Hopkins, Miss Florence
Tiniponi, singing comedienne, gave a
theater party to hundreds of chil
dren who flocked to the
theater this afternoon. Every child
who brought a garment for the Bel
gians was admitted without charge
and saw the entire performance.
Miss Timponi made a little speech
to them, telling them of the great
necessity of giving more clothing and
urging them to back the campaign.

Letter to the Editor
TELLS OF GAS USE
>o the Editor of the Telegraph:
In regard 1° th e charge made by
tne Harrisburg Gas Company in your
paper of the 27th inst. I wish to
state that the publication of a charge
of maliciously tapping the service
pipe supplying gas to premises 416
bouth Thirteenth street. Harrisburg.
Pa., by W. D. Markley. is in itself
un unwarranted piece of malice, in
tended to injure reputation.
the facts are that the gas com
pany knew that it was being tried
to heat the water system at this
apartment with gas service, and
that W. D. Markley did not make
the connection and did not know
that the connection was made as it
was made; and as a matter of fact
the experiment was a failure and gas
from this connection could not be
used in any other manner than for
this experiment, and in fact none
was used in any other manner. There
was no malicious intent whatever,
and as a matter of fact there wasn't
$1.50 worth of gas consumed in all.
W. D. Markley claims he is wrongly
injured by the unwarranted public
ity given this matter in the needless
color given and accusations made
by the gas company, and will at once
institute an action for damages
against this corporation.
W. D. MARKLEY.

BRETZ TRIAL STARTS
BEFORE JUDGE KUNKEL
[Continued front First Page.]
the defendant quashed, refused to
try each indictment separately and
also refused to grant a motion that
the jury be given binding instruc
tions that no case had been made
out by the District Attorney because
it was not prot'ed Bretz had the
criminal intent to embezzle at the
time money was given to him.
Wertz testified he had given Bretz
$2,000 to invest and that in return
he received a mortgage* from George
W. Speakman, 709 North Seven
teenth street. This was In April,
1913. Since that date Speakman de
clared ho paid $1,400 on the original
mortgage, but Wertz stated he had
only received S4OO from Bretz. Mr.
Speakman also said he was paying
interest on the. principal as reduced
at the rate of $16.50 each six months.
Mr. Wertz said he received from
Bretz $44 as interest on $1,600.
It was oxpeeted that Bretz would
go on the stand during the after
noon after Judge Kunkel refused to
consider the motion that the Com
monwealth had not made out cases
of embezzlement against the attor
ney.
Always Trusted Accused
'While on the witness stand Mr.
Wertz declared he had given Bretz
$3,000 to invest in a mortgage at
another time and that he never re
ceived the* mortgage and had noth
ing to show for the money. He told
the Court he had always trusted
Bretz and did not suspect the law
yer until after he was first arrested.
It was brought out that the first
S4OO paid by Mr. Speakman to Bretz
who was to give it to Mr. Wertz, was
paid, but the other SI,OOO paid by
Speakman in four instalments never
was paid to Mr. Wertz.
Two of the cases against Bretz
have been continued until the Jan
uary session of criminal court. The
other four may be started late this
afternoon.
Court Issues Capias
Judge Kunkel late yesterday di
rected that a capias be issued for
the apprehension of J. Robbin Ben
nett, a-colored attorney, now a fugi
tive and wanted on a charge of em
bezzlement. A jury convicted three
colored men and one colored woman
on a charge of robbing a passenger
of $lO9 at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station. Counsel has been given time
to file a motion for a new trial.
Albert Shuey,' Herr street, was con
victed on a charge of attacking one
of the park guards in Reservoir
Park. It is alleged he was the leader
of a gang of boys who gave the
park guards much trouble during
the summer. In a similar case where
another park guard was the prose
