Franklin County Parent Seeks
$lO,OOO For Daughter's
Betrayal by Doctor
Olinmbcrsburg, Pa., Nov. 12.
John Kriner is suing William Heck
man here for $lO,OOO damages, fol
lowing the betrayal of his daughter,
Addie, by John Keckler, a Waynes
boro, "hex" doctor, who was con
victed of criminal misbehavior anil
sent to the Eastern Penitentiary.
The case is on trial here before
Judge Gillan. Witchcraft, supersti
tion and the final revelations of the
duplicity of the hex doctor featured
the opening testimony in the case.
Strange things were happening in
Peters township in the vicinity of the
Heckman farms in 1915, the testi
mony disclosed. Animals were dy
ing, and those just born were stunt
ed in growth as a result of a blight
ing influence on the Heckman farm.
At the time there lived in Waynes
boro a man, John Keckler. His
services were sought and he ap
peared at the Heckman home, at the
increase of the moon to work his
charm for good and save the coun
try folk from further loss of prop
erty.
Kriner, a neighbor of the Heck
mans, was included in the scheme to
rid the countryside of witches and
Keckler went at once to the Kriner
home. The daughters of Kriner,
neighbors of the Heckmans, were
selected as the assistants. In order
that the doctor might work most ef- 1
fectlvely it was necessary that the
girls touch the "hem of his garment
and according to the testimony of
Mr. and Mrs. Kriner, the girls were
summoned periodically to perform
their part in ridding the neighbor
hood of the influences of evil. They
were taken to the Heckman home
and when tha .parents retired for the
night they left their daughters in
Keckler's care, who asserted the girls
would be. as "well cared for as in
the hands of their God," the testi
mony showed.
Keckler, who is serving a term in
the Eastern Penitentiary, is 60 years
of age. The case probably will end
this evening.

canoe paddles, his hair and an eye
brows clipped and his face badly dis
figured in the beating. DuttenhofTer

Finds It Is Liable to Com
monwealth For Fees
Sunbury, Pa., Nov. 12. —The At
lantic Refining Company to-day paid
into the Northumberland county
treasury more than $5OO in taxee
and costs in settlement of a suit foi
mercantile taxes as a retailer In
Northumberland county. More than,
a year ago it resisted levy of this
class of taxes for all boroughs in th
State, claiming it did not do retail
business.
AVatsontown and Milton cases wer
chosen as test cases, the State,
through its counsel, F. A. Witmer,
of Sunbury, holding that in serving
gasoline to men with automobiles
and to smaller dealers it was a re
tailer within the State law, and a
case stated was agreed upon. Th(
refining corporation passed up th
matter for months, and finally set
tled out of court, it apparently hav
ing been advised that It had not a
leg to stand upon.
This will mean many thousands
of dollars in State taxes during fu.
ture years and is considered a big
victory for Auditor General Snyder,
who, it is understood here, directed
that this tax be levied.
