GIVES EVIDENCE
AGAINST FATHER
Minister's Daughter Testifies
Physician Earned $7,166
For Saving Her Life
Middlcburg, Pa.. De<j. 13.—Miss
Verna, daughter of the Rev. A. S.
Bierly, was the chief witness for
Dr. E. C. Williams in court here yes
terday, in the physician's suit against
her father for <7,166, with interest,
for attending her during the period
she is said to have suffered with
Bright's disease.
Miss Bierly, now a young woman
of 23, was easily the center of in
terest in the crowded court room.
She is a decided blonde in type and
was fashionably dressed. It was
the opinion of court attendants that
she made a better witness for Dr.
Williams than he did for himself.
She said, when questioned, that
she did not think the fees charged
her father by Dr. Williams were ex
cessive. These totalled <7,166 and
(Overed portions of 1911, 1912 and
1913.
She said that she had been very
ill, and under the treatment of Dr.
Williams her life had been saved.
Her father told the physician "to
save her life, no matter what the
cost may be," she testified and ex
pressed himself as grateful for her
recovery.
Dr. Williams had testified that
Miss Bierly was brought to the
sanitarium he conducts at Port Trev
orton suffering with Bright's disease,
and that she had been cured.
Miss Bierly has been living at the
Williams residence. She first went
there in 1911, a girl of 15 years, as
his patient, Dr .Williams and his
wife are divorced. Miss Bierly tes
tified against her father in a former
suit with the physician about two
years ago.
The cost of the case is estimated
at SI,OOO a day. In addition to the
numerous lawyers, there are 144
witnesses said to have been sum
moned, and two handwriting experts
at S2OO a day.
One of these is Webster Amescher,
Of Philadelphia, the expert in the
famous Lieb case at Philadelphia
last week. The other is L. C. Hor
ton, of New York. The two are
leaders in their profession. They
will testify regarding the writing on
checks, which the pastor contends
proves he made payment in full.
Dr. Williams comes of a noted
family. His father was a member
af the- Italian nobility. His grand
father on his mother's side, was a
general in the American army, dur
ing the war with Mexico, and had
the distinction of raising the Ameri
can flag over Mexico City.

SHOOTS PAL WHO
SOUGHT REVENGE
Crook Lures Man Who Testi
fied Against Him, But
Plan Fails
Kllzatx'thtown, Pa., Dec. 13.
Four years ago James Dugan and
William Wallace Irons were arrest
ed by Constable William D. Plum
mer, of this place. They had as
saulted a motormun after being put
off a car. The constable was seri
ously stabbed and at the trial of the
case at Lancaster Irons testified it
was Dugan who slashed the officer.
Dugan was sentenced td a year in
prison. Irons went free.
Late Thursday night Irons, a crip
pled beggar, walked into the detect
ive bureau in the Philadelphia City
Hall; threw a revolver on the desk
and said:
"I a man on Marshall
street and came here to surrender."
Detectives who went to the Mar
shall street address found Dugan
lying unconscious on the floor with
blood gushing from a pistol wound
near the heart. He revived sufficient
ly to identify Irons as the person
who had done the shooting.
According to Irons' story, he has
resided in Philadelphia ever since
the Rheems' affair. He never saw
Dugan since the latter's release until
they met while both were begging
among the Christmas shoppers on
Market street. Irons claims Dugan
invited him to take motor car ride,
which ended at 7 o'clock at the Mar
shall street house.
Dugan, angered at his compan
ion's refusal to take a drink of
brandy, drew a revolver and fired,
saying:
"I am going to kill you| I brought
you here to make up for bygones."
Irons claims that in the ensuing
struggle he got the revolver from
his assailant and fired twice, one bul
let entering Dugan's body near the
heart and the other grazing his leg.
He then surrendered.
When Magistrate Yates went to
Hahnemann Hospital to get Dugan's
antemortem statement he placed a
Bible in the dying man's hands.
With an oath Dugan hurled the book
across the room.
"I am not going to die," he said.
"I am going to get well and kill
Irons."
A few minutes later Irons was
brought into the accident ward by
Detective Beckman, of the City Hall
squad. At first Dugan refused to
say that he was the man who did
the sholoing. Later when told that
Irons had confessed he admitted that
he was his assailant, but begged the
police to let him off. "Don't put him
in jail," he wailed. "Leave him to
me. I'll get even with him."

DEER SEASON IS
IN FINAL STAGE
Franklin County Sportsmen
Threaten to Work For
Ban on Hunting
Cliambcrsburg, Pa., Dec. 13. —
The deer hunting season is draw
ing to a close and the slaughter of
does, fawns and half tame stags
nears the finish. Bach morning
trolley cars to Caledonia take out
more than a load of men with
rifles bound for the mountains.
Twice as many deer hunters have
been out this year than last season,
due mainly to the returned sol
diers, who have learned the use of
the rifle in their service. The local
industries are pressed with orders
and have pleaded with their men
to work every available hour but
that seems to have no effect on the
men who have been stung with the
hunting bee, for hundreds of them
have been taking the 15 days oft
for defer stalking. Pheasants, part
ridges and wild turkeys are being
shot in the mountains despite the
fact that their open season is over,
which fact coupled with the killing
of does and fawns may bring about
the enactment of a closed deer
season in Franklin county next
year. Many sportsmen have
threatened to work for it.

Reading, Pa., Dec. 13.—Death

compelled to retire from the minis
try. The Rev. Mr. Fetter suffered
from hardening of the arteries. His
condition was not regarded as seri
ous until Thursday, December 4,

rallied.

Apparatus Ordered by Mc

Mocliaiiiesburg, Pa., Dec. 13.
