Horace Kruinhine and Norman Long, from Chestnut Ridge, were attending n fc.it ival at Salem. They started for home about midnight . On the way home Rusk laid a plan to steal a chicken and roast it. This was opposed by tho other two and a crock of milk vouched for. When they cimo to Thomas Bailey's they took a crock of milk from tho spring house, drank it and set the crock in again. Then Rusk laid a plan to steal potatoes and chickens and sell them so they could biro a horso and buggy to at tend a festival tho following Satur day evening at Krutzervillc. Finally, it was agreed to meet nt Krumbine's tho following Sunday evening in the wagon shed. They met at the pro posed time, took' some bags nnd n fork and started for William Hilo's potato patch about three-fourths of a milo distant. They dug about four bushels, look them lnuuo and hid them in tho barn. They then started for William Bile's residence took ten spring chickens from the roost nnd carried them homo mid hid them in tho barn. The following week Krumbine sold them iu Lowis burg and pocketed the funds. Rusk afterward stob n suck of sweet oorn. carried it to Krumbine's liouso and hid it iu the barn. Iu tho mean time Kiiiinbiiie had left hi-; place and tho corn was found iu the barn . Rusk afterward t' 1 '' thut he was . . ' flouting ark from Mr. Ira T. CltmituH, and livo totally on stealing. Ho was trying to entice his companions to go idling to tho neighborhood of Danville to steal a horse, lie t-aid ho knew where they could sbal u iorse, take it to Juniata county and sell it to a man for ready cash. They Iccideil to meet the next morning at a certain place for committing tho tin ft, but Krumbine's courage failed when it was to go in that deeii and 10 backed out. Rusk went to Juni ata county and perhaps being angry because his companions deserted lim, gave away the robberies that had 1 n carried into execution. Ho also volubly accused his com panions of having made attempts to ob John Bailey nnd the stores at Shamokiu Dam, but this his com panions deny. Ho also accused five or six more of being iu the gang, but lis companions have given ailidavits that t he gang consisted oi ly of the three aforesaid. Rusk was raised near Oriental, Juniata county, lie had been employed by a farmer near Danvillo fur several years and last summer ho was employed by Jere Hummel, near Shamok in Dam, and confesses t hut he hud be n ill such gangs at different times and says that- no otlieer could apv-t him.
