LURKING ON THE HIGHWAY.
Occurrences Which Arouse the Ire Of

A YOUNG WONAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Halted and Chased on the Road by a Masked
Man Who Disappeared in the Bushes
When Another Woman Appeared.
Search for a Husband.

The residents of Maple Hill are consider
ing the advisability of organizing vigilance
committee for the purpose ofbreaking up the
practices of cranks and others who are greatly
annoying people who are obliged to travel
between that place and this town. For the
benefit of those not acquainted with the
territory it may be stated that the highway
is extremely lonely. 1t is narrow, hilly, has
almost innumerable turns, and the sides are
covered by a heavy growth of laurel bushes
1t affords splendid place for people in
clined to evil deeds and being very distant
from places of abode the cries of helpless
victim are fruitless unless some other
traveller happens along.
A young woman of Maple Hill tells story
Of an experience she had last Saturday. She
abhors notoriety, and for that reason her
name is withheld. She came to this town
on the day stated and made purchases start
ing on the return home at about ten o'clock
in the morning. When walking through one
of the most lonesome parts of the highway
she was startled by masked man suddenly
leaping from the bushes at the side of the
I
the young woman and stood as if
waiting for her to walk up to him. He had
turned his back to his intended victim evil
IDENTIFY trying to conceal the fact that his
face was masked, but glimpse Of it had
been caught when the stranger jumped to
the road over ditch. The young woman
was at first almost paralyzed by fright, but
she quickly recovered possession of herself
and ran back towards this town. The un-
known man followed at a brisk walk for
several yards, but as another woman walk
ing from Shenandoah appeared around "a
turn in the road, the man took to his
heels in the bushes.
The young woman who had escaped and
the new arrival returned to Columbia Park
where they boarded an electric car and went
home by way of Yatesville. 1t is said this
occurrence took place in the vicinity whore
a man attempted to attack young lady
school teacher few years ago. The people
are very much exercised over the matter and
if the offender is caught he will be severely
dealt with.
! The people of Maple Hill are also much
annoyed by the actions of a strange woman
who frequents the highway. She claims that
her husband deserted her and is working
at Maple Hill. Night and day she patrol,
the highway and when anybody approaches
male or female, she rushes up to them ant
scrutinizes their countenances. Her actions
afford amusement to the men who come il
contact with her, but several womeI
have been brought to the verge of illness b!

termined to locate the alleged truant HUSBAND

ION TRIAL FOR HER LIFE |.
The Case Against Mrs. Howell, an
Alleged POiSOner.
EVIDENCE ONLY CIRCUMSTANTIAL.
The Case One of the strangest in the Grim
inal Annals Of Pennsylvania-The
Prosecution Declares the Prisoner
Was Jealous of Her Victim.

WELLsBoRo, Pa, Nov. 27.-Mrs Char
lotte Howell was put on trial in the county
court here yesterday charged with the
murder of Miss Libbie Knapp, at Tioga,
last spring. 1t took until o clock in the
afternoon to select jury and then Dis
trict Attorney Owlett opened the case,
outlining the evidence to be presented for
the prosecution, which is purely circum-
stantial
The case is one of the strangest in the
criminal annals Of Pennsylvania. Mrs
Howell is a member of a well known New
York family and her two brothers. Dut-
ton by name, are among the wealthiest
merchants of the metropolis. She has
been estranged from them, it is said, since
her marriage with Chauncey Howell, a
teamster. The Howells and Knapps were
neighbors in Tioga and warm intimacy
existed between Mrs. Howell and Libbie,
who was 10 years old. Libbe had love
affair which ended in a parting, and there.
after she began to receive unpleasant let
ters, which would be found tied to the
door knob. These bore the signature of a
Tioga young man, and most of them, it is
alleged, were found early in the morning
by Mrs. Howell
Last May Libbie was suddenly taken ill,
and Mrs. Howell took her to her own
home to attend her On May II she died,
and subsequently evidences of poisoning
were found. Detectives were put on the
case, and Mrs. Howell was arrested The
commonwealth proposes to show that
Mrs, Howell wrote all the letters, that she
was jealous of the girl, and that she ad-
mlnistered rat poison. The letters were
all printed in Roman letters with a lead
pencil, and were threatening in character.
