A remarkable story of the incarcera tion of a young, refined and well edu cated girl, heir to great wealth, in a private asylum was told last Friday be fore Justice Marean of '.he Supreme Court of Brooklyn, when the case of Henry J. Bebro was called before him in chambers. The young woman was Miss Mabel Spang. 10 yeark old, a daughter of Charles H Spang of Pitts burg. Upon application of her mother she was adjudged insane six months ago and committed to Dr. George Bond s sanitarium iu Yonkers. According to the testimony of six physicians, two of whom had refused the mother's request to adjudge her daughter insane, Miss Spang is perfectly sound in n.ind. The Superior Court sitting at Pitts burg affirmed the euango County Court in its conviction of J. H. Ding man for tapping the lines of the Nation al Transit Co. and stealing oil from it. Mr. Dingnian was the first man ever convicted of such a charge by an oil country jury and the Superior Court in a voluminous report his declared thai it was a just conviction Oil in transit through a pipe line should be just as secure as money in a Lank or money passing through the mails, and is entitl ed to the same protection under the law. Mr. Dinguiau was charged with steal ing 2,000 barrels of oil from the Nntion al Transit Company and tlie evidence against him was so strong that his con viction immediately followed. His ap peal to the higher court was based ou some legal technicalities which the Superior Court has overruled in a lengthy report. The Court also direct ed that the record be remitted and that the sentence of the lower court be carried into effect. "From the evidence submitted to us there appears to be no organized 'ring of plunderers' who have been unlawful ly taking the taxpayers' money, and that outside of some of the allegations relative to bridges the statements in Hon Joseph Sibley's letter are without foundation." That is the gist of the final report of the Venango county grand jury on the investigation into Mr Sibley's bold charges of crookedness in the County Commissioners' office over contracts for new bridges. although new indictments were returned against the three members of the Board of County Commissioners and two others, making a total of 12 indicted since the jury con vened.
