READING OFFICER j
HAS JURY AWARD
Twelve Men at Lancaster l)c-'
vide He I nearthed Slayer !
of Woman
Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 26.—John!
\V. Smith, a detective of Reading, is;
entitled to the county reward of j
SI,OOO offered by the commissioners ':
for the conviction of the murderer j
ot Elizabeth Lausch in northern i
Lancaster county by Samuel Garner. }
The jury's award here in court ves- |
terday was $1,072.50.
Smith arrested Garner in Berks
county a few days after the escape
of Garner, Langer and Hurst from
the Lancaster county prison. ;
Garner was arrested for a Berks j
county robbery and lie had in his >
possession some of the articles that
led to his conviction for the murder.
The county's contention was that
Garner wus arrested before the re
ward was offered; that Smith did
nothing lo bring about the convic
tion of Garner and that all the testi
j niony that was gathered in the
j Garner case was secured by Slate
i Policeman "Lanlz and the local uu
■ thorities.
There is a legal question involved
i in tlie ease which will be argued at
the December term. If the court
sustains the point raised by the
county, then the verdict will be re
versed and Smith will not get the
reward.
