Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Jan. 17, 1907. CLARENCE IP SENTENCED After a little over an hour's delib eration yesterday the jury in the case of Commonwealth vs. J. H. Ethworth, Samuel Dunmoyer ami William E. Pensyl, in which the charge was con spiring to steal a horse, returned a verdict of guilty, convicting each of the defendants as in manner and form indicted. During the afternoon Eth worth and Dunmoyer were sentenced, each to two years in the Eastern pen itentiary. in me case of Pensyl sent ence was suspended pending argument for a new trial. CONSPIRACY CASE RESUMED. Wednesday morning the case of Com monwealth vs. J. H. Ethworth, Sam uel Dunmoyer and William E. Pensyl was resumed. The testimouv was com pleted on Tuesday evening aud foi the first thing yesterday morning the at torneys for the defense,of which there were three, went to the jury. Charles V. Anierman, attorney for Pensyl, made the first plea. He ad dressed himself especially to the task of clearing Pensyl, holding that the latter was the unfortunate victim of circumstances and was not a party to conspiracy. The effect of his plea was much enhanced by Pensyl s wife aud little daughter, who sat by the side of the defendant weeping bitterly. Ralph Kisner,attorney for Ethworth, next went to the jury. He urged that no conspiracy was shown. He admit ted that Ethworth might have been guilty of receiving goods under false pretenses, an ottense, however, which did not figure in the indictment, but that tie could not be convicted of con spiracy. William Kase West, who seemed to represent the whole group of defend ants, made the last plea, which was brief, merely insisting that the court charee tlie|jury that no conspiracy ex isted. Itfwas shortly after 10 o'clock when Hon. H M. Hinckley went to the jury for the Commonwealth. He made a strong and characteristic plea. He pre faced his address by a humorous al lusion to the multiplicity of attorneys for defendants and [their apparently conflicting interests He said that each one of the several lawyers em ployed seemed willing that tke other two defendants should be considered guilty and maae a scape goat, only so that the one that he represented might be acqumeo. Mr. Hinckley insisted that a conspiracy existed aud that all three of the defendants were properly charged, reviewing the evidence in detail to show that Pensyl was in as deep as any of them. He spoke for ov er half an hour. Judge Evans' charge was very clear and impartial. He defined conspiracy and submitted the evidence. At 11 o'clock the jury retired, the twelve men were as follows: Jesse Klase, Michael Riley, Jacob Dietz, Jesse Umstead, Jonathan Stahl, Granr Fenstermacher, C. O. Moyer, Michael Breckbill, George P. Cotner, Robert Adams, John H. Garnett, Harry El lenbogen. CLARENCE CARR. Shortly after 11 o'clock the case of Commonwealth vs. Clarence Carr was attached, which was the last case on the Commonwealth list. The charge was homicide, the defendant, it will be recalled, being accused of causing the death of little George Fausnaught by pushing him into a deep pool iu the dismantled steel plant on the af ternoon of July 18th last. A true bill was returned and a plea of "not guilty" entered at the previous ses sion of court. When the case was attached yester day, Ralph Eisner, attorney for Clar ence^Carr, "explained to the court'that after due deliberation and acting on advice of others, lie had decided to as sume the responsibility of withdraw ing the plea of "not guilty" aud to ask that a plea of guilty in a lesser de gree than homicide be entered. He explained that the case was a sad one and that the youthful defendant was entitled to the fullest measure of con sideration and mercy. His mother is a patient at the hospital for the insane. The boy is not yet 16 years of age and his education and training have been sadly neglected. Mr. Eisner said he believed that he should be restrained. He was fearful that, if tried on the charge of liotn icide, the boy might be acquitted and he doubted whether he was fit togo free, as he might be tempted into the commission of some act similar to the one of which he is accused. He, therefore, asked that the plea be changed to one of guilty in lesser de gree than charged in the indictment and the boy be committed to some re formatory institution,where he would receive proper training. The court called upon the district attorney, who agreed to the modifica tion of the plea aud the whole plan as proposed by Mr. Kisner. On motion, therefore, the court agreed to suspend seutence on the plea entered and an nounced that the matter would be fin ally disposed of during the afternoon. In the meantime it was decided to hear some testimony on the case for the enlightenment of the court George Fausnaught, the father of the little victim, Officer Voris, Ralph Himes, Roy Earp, and Willie Faus naught, were called to the stand. The details of the sad affair are well known to our readers There was au element of deep pathos in the testimony of lit tle" Gus "Earp, ten years of age. He said that George Fausnaught was sit ting or stooping near the edge of the deep "soaking pit", when Clarence Carr stole up behind him, and seizing him by the ankles, threw him forward and headfirst down into the water. Little George sank and then rose,sink iug again. The drowning boy, when he oame to the surface was "black and ' blue" in the faco. Carr, he said, made no attempt to assist him, but only laughed. The witness said that he told Carr that he was going "to tell on him," but that Carr told him that if he did so he "would smash his face." The result of this threat was that the little boy kept the dreadful secret locked up in his bosom until the next morning, when lie told his mother all about it. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. For the first thing in the afternoon Clarence Carr was called before the court. The boy, notwithstanding the neglect to which he has been subject ed, is by no means repelling in appear ance. He has been in jail since last July and he shows the effect of long confinement. Jud«e Evans told him that for the offense to which he had pleaded guilty he could send him to the penitentiary for twenty years, but lie did not believe that such a sent ence would be for his best interest. He,therefore, had decided to give him a chance to make a niau of himself. The sentence of the court was as fol lows : Now January 1*», 1907, the court sentences the defendant, Clarence C-irr, to pay the costs of prosecution aud to be committed to the care and guardianship of the managers of the Pennsylvania Industrial Reformatory at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, there to be kept, fed and clothed and treated as the law directs and to stand com mitted until the sentence of the court is complied with. By the court, Charles C. Evans, P. J. The court informed Clarence Carr that lie would be likely to remain at the reformatory for at least ten vears. CONSPIRACY VERDICT. The jury in the case of Common wealth vs. J. H. Ethworth, Samuel Dunmoyer and William E. Pensyl, which went out about 11 o'clock, agreed upon a verdict between 12 and I. The verdict was sealed and the jurymeu went out for their dinners. When the ease of Clarence Carr was disposed of the prothonotary was di rected to take the verdict. Each of the defendants were found guilty as in manuer and form indict ed, William E. Pensyl being recom mended to the mercy of the court. Charles V. Amerman, attorney for Pensyl, moved for an arrest of judg ment aud a new trial, reasons to be filed within a specified time. The court appointed Saturday afternoon next at 3 o'clock as time for argument. Ethworth was then called up for sentence. He was asked by the court if he had anything to say. He replied, "nothing except to ask for mercy." The Judge continued : The sentence of the court is that you, J H. Ethworth pay the cost of prosecution, a fine of $ 100 to the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania for the use of Montour county, and that yon undergo an imprisonment in the East ern peniteutiary at Philadelphia for a period of two years to be computed from this date, at separate and solit ary confinement, at labor, and stand committed until the sentence is com plied with. The sheriff to conduct yon thence in ten days. Samuel Dunmoyer was then called before court. In reply to a question from the judge he said he had noth ing to sav except that he was "not guilty." He was also given two years in the Eastern penitentiary at separ ate aud solitary confinement at labor, his sentence in all respects being sim ilar to that of Ethworth.
