CARNEY HLLD
FOR SHOCT::TD
He Was Discovered While in Act
of Ransacking He use
Mrs. David Shilling, of Wheat
field, Buffington township, came
to Indiana Wednesday moning and
identified Clyde Carney of Center
ville, West Wheatfield township, a
prisoner in the county jail, as the
person who shot her the morning
of January 15, when she surprised
him in the aet of robbing the Shil
ling home. Mrs. Shilling was
wounded in the arm and was a pa
tient in the Memorial hospital at
Johnstown until a few days ago.
She arrived in Indiana on the
morning train* and was taken di
rectly to the county jail. On en
tering the jail she became confus
ed as the eoridors were dark, and
at first she did not recognize Car
ney as the alleged thief. He was
taken back to the jail later in the
day and when brought face to face
with' Carney she declared repeat
edly, "That is the man." Mrs.
Shilling returned to her home that
afternoon. Carney had little to
say following the woman's visit,
but declared he could not under
stand why Mrs. Shilling did not
recognize him on her first visit to
thd jail that morning when she
was so confident that he was the
guilty man on the second visit.
The robbery and shooting oc
curred during the absence of Mr.
Shilling on the morning of Jan.
15. The husband is employed as a
blacksmith at Vintondale and
leaves early for his work.
Shortly after he left the house on
the morning of the crime, Mrs..
Shilling went to the barn to do the
milking. On her return to the
house she noticed that the door
was fastened, but did not think
anything of it, as there is a spring
lock on the door and she supposed
that it had slipped as she closed
the door to go to the barn.
Entering the house through the
cellar she heard al noise upstairs.
Just as she got to the head of the
stairway she discovered a man
ransacking one of the rooms. As
soon as the burglar saw Mrs. Shil
ling he opened tire with a revol
ver. the bullet striking the woman
cn the arm. Mrs. Shilling fell and
it is alleged that the intruder shot
at her as she lay injured upon the
floor.
The thief secured $3O and a gold
watch, but during the excitement
following the shooting he over
looked $BO which was in a pay
envelope.
Carney was arrested at his home
in Centerville Jan. 18 by Consta
ble John E. Blackley. of Buffing
ton township, and was brought to
the county jail the following day
on a charge of being implicated in
the robbery. lie was given a hear
ing before Justice of the Peace
James A. Crossman and was held
for trial at the March term.
