STORY RECALLED IN
MURDER CASE OF 1926
Application last Friday by Frank
Aikens, former hunter and expert
marksman of Van Ormer, Cambria
county, for a pardon from a life sen-
tence in western penitentiary, recalls
one of the most ynusual romantic stor-
ies in the history of Cambria county.
Application for Aikens' clemency
was opposed by District Attorney W. |
Stephens Mayer.
Aikens was arrested on August 10, |
1926, after a posse had combed the
Buckhorn monutain the preceding |
night for him. Shortly after noon on |
August 9th, Aikens’ shot and killed |
Mrs. Rupert B. Beers, 28, of Fallen |
Timber, his step sister.
Returning to Fallen Timber after a |
cherry picking trip, Mrs. Beers was |
riding in a car operated by Mrs. Myr- i
tle Bates of Fallen Timber, a widow, |
and Gilbert Beers, 11. }
Mrs. Bates and the Beers boy es- |
caped as Aikens fired a high powered
rifle through the isinglass of the autc- |
mobile. The soft-nosed bullet pensira- |
ted the left temple of Mrs. Beers and
shattered her skull. Aikens rin to the |
car, told Mrs. Bates he would “fix her,”
too, if he had another bullet. He then |
fled into the mountains.
Aikens was a suitor for the hand of
Mrs. Bates. Two days preceding the |
shooting of Mrs. Beers, Aikens and
Mrs. Bates had quarrelled. Aikens |
blamed Mrs. Beers for interfering in |
his romance with Mrs. Bates and the
murder was his revenge. He charged
Mrs. Beers had introduced Mrs. Bates
to several other young men and had
arranged ‘dates’ with them and Mrs.
Bates.
Aikens was tried in Cambria county
court before Judge John E. Evans. He
was found guilty of murder and sen-
tenced to life imprisonment.
The day prior to Aikens’ removal |
from Cambria County jail to West- |
ern Penitentiary Mrs. Bates visited Eb-
ensburg and expressed to jail authori-
desire to obtain a divorce from Aikens
Mrs. Bates declared she had married
Aikens because of fear. She confessed
to authorities that Aikens had told
friends he would “be out of the peni-
tentiary within a year or so” and that
she feared for her life.
Mrs. Bates was advised she could
file a libel for divorce on the grounds
her husband had been convicted of a
crime and committed to the peniten-
tiary for life.
The divorce proceedings were insti-
tuted and a master was appointed to
take testimony.
Inasmuch as her husband was in the
penitentiary the master was obliged to
go to that institution to take testimony.
Aikens, however, produced letters from
his wife in which she expressed her
faith and love for him. The master held
that under such expressions, Mrs. Ai-
kens could not advance fear as a just
cause for divorce, and the separation
was not granted.
‘SOME ADVICE ON THE
SWIMMING HAZARDS
BY MEDICAL ASSN
The shock of diving into cold water
often takes one’s breath.
Which one’s breath?
The ones who are allergic to cold.
Just as some persons are allergic to
ragweed, or goldenrod or feathers, or
furs, or certain foods, so are others al-
lergic to cold.
A person alergic to cold may devel-
op severe constitutional reactions soon
after entering the water.
A feeling of weakness is experiend-
ced which may at times assume full
unconsciousness and the victim may
become totally helpless.
He can make no effort to call for
help.
Unless soon rescued, he suffers a
complete failure of the circulation —
and drowns.
In most cases of cold allergy there
is a fall in blood pressure ,a rapid pulse
ties a desire on her part to marry Ai-
kens.
The ceremony was performed in jail.
—fainting or unconsciousness.
Some people, therefore, may meet
with disaster by diving into cold water,

There is a season for swimming,
It is a grand sport, refreshing, and a
relief from the heat.
Yet it presents certain hazards in
the way of disease and danger to life.
Infections of the middle ear and the
nasal sinuses sometimes result from
swimming.
Almost 400 drownings a year in
swimming.
