His Companions Say that Ru-,! is the
Um l,:r.
On Saturday evening, August 2.1,
George Rusk. 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.
