CALL KELLEY A FRAUD.
Philadelphia Press Has Been Investigat
ing the Motor Workshop.

Phlladelphia Press Has Reen 1nvestigat.
ing the Motor Workshop.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 20.-The Press
publishes an article covering. with IL
Illustrations, over a page in space, giving
the details of an investigation made by
the paper OF the dismantlel workshop
of the late John w. Kelley, which in
vestigation The Press contends clearly
proves the mysterious Kelley motor to
have been a delusion and deception. and
that its alleged mysterious forces We're
the result OF trickery. During an in
vestigation which has been in progress
over a week, the flooring of the work
shop was taken up and a brick partition
wall was removed. The Press was as
sisted in the work by Professor Carl
Herring, a consulting engineer Of
experiences; Professor Arthur w.
Goodspeed, assistant professor Of physics
of the University of Pennsylvania: Pro-
.fessor Lightner Wilmer. professor of
experimental physiology at the Univer-
slty OF Pennsylvania. and DR.. NJ. G.
Miller, who has special training in ex-
ploration and research in the way of
mound digging and accordingly super
intended all the digging operations.
Clarence B. Moore, son Of Mrs. Bloom
field Moore, was an interested spectator.
The statements in the articles, which
are s~ubstantiated by signed statements
from the above named scientists are to
the effect that tubing was found con-
cealed in the brick work and under the
floor of the laboratory. This. it is
claimed, laid bare the possibilities of
deception, as the tubing is Of the kind
calculated to stand high pressure and
could have been used nconnection with
the great steel sphere found last week
in the laboratory which the experts in
innate was used as a reservoir for com-
pressed air or compressed gases, and the
tubing could thus form an agency for
the forces that moved the motor in the
exhibition room. The views of Mr.,
Herring and Professor Goodspeed are
that the presence Of the tubing and
sphere indicates the use Of normal forces
and possible deception on the part of
Keelev.

NoRCROss WAS IN TROUBLE
Wrote Letters in His Cell so Stating
Before Taking Poison.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 1T-Karl
Norcross, who tried to commit suicide
In Jail after being arrested, charged
with trying to kill his young brother,
is still in his cell in jail suffering from
the attempt on his life. He will only
say that the story told by Hetterman
and Devlin is an attempt to blackmail
him. When the sheriff discovered
Norcross dying in his cell he found
three letters on a table, two addressed
to his aunt, Mrs. Ada p. Garrard of
Brownsville, and the other to Miss
Florence B. Messmore of Uniontown.
They are as follows:
'sUniontown, Feb IS.
ssDear Aunt Ada am in lots of
trouble tonight, and if / do not get
out you take care of Flo, my dear
girl, and see that she gets along all
right Hoping you will do this, | am

Flo and give her anything she wants.
See that she has a good living. Hop
ing you will do this, KARL"
my dear Flo--I wrote two letters
to Aunt Ada. She will tell you what
they contained. Hoping she will do
it for you and you will be a good girl,
yours, sKARL' y
The letters were not mailed but
have been turned over to the district
attorney. They indicate that he con-

detective, it is stated. has discovered
some corroborative testimony at West
Newton substantiating the story told
by Hetterman and Devlin.

UNI0NT0wN MILL LEASED
Columbia Plant will be Operated by
Youngstown ies-Pittsburgers
Are the Part Owners OF the
Concern.

uNroNTowN, Pa, Feb. 1S.- Henry
Wick, President, and William III.
Baldwin, Secretary, of the Ohio Steel
Company, of Youngstown, with their
attorney, Cecil d. Hine, signed the
lease for the Columbia Steel Mill
here, with the privilege of purchas-
ing the mill Their lease is for one
year and the option price at they can
buy it at is $150,000 The mill was
built in 1886 and is said to have
cost over 100000. 1t was operated
until in 1898.
The principal owners are A. nj.
Byers, A. w Pollock, Emil Winter
and others, of Pittsburg, and Judge
John X. Ewing, Judge Nathaniel
Ewing, James A. Searight and w.
Fl. Playford, of Uniontown. The
mill is in good condition.
While on a trip here to look at a
coal field, Messrs Wick and Bald
win became interested in the steel
mill, and it is reported that they
closed deal for $50 acres of cox
ing coal near here.
The Thompson Glass Works here,
which passed into the possession OF

WELL KNOWN HERE.
Young NOrcrOss Who is Arrested at
UniontOwn ON Terrible Charge.

The young man who is under arrest
at Uniontown for plotting to have his
little brother poisoned is known to
many Morgantown people. He has
been here frequently. His name is
Norcross. Formerly he has stood very
high in the town and apparently had
many friends.
AS often happens however as soon
as he got down there were many who
were ready to jump on him and a
gentleman who came from there on
Thursday evening states that the
feeling is so strong against him that
there is strong talk of lynching him.
However Uniontown people are hardly
built OF this stuff and he will more
than likely be permitted to go ahead
and have fair trial.

NORCROSS is QUIET Now.
UniontOwn Man Charged with Trying
to Have His Brother Murdered
May Have Hearing To-day

UNIoNTOwN, Pa, Feb. 1S-If the
defense is ready, hearing will be held
in the Norcross case to-day, r. P.
Kennedy. Norcross' lawyer, has been
absent for a couple of days and may
not be willing to go ahead with the
hearing. 1t is thought Norcross will
waive hearing for court in order to
avoid making any statement at this
time,
The District Attorney is ready to
go ahead and has had the County De
tective gathering testimony to try to
substantiate the stories told by Hat
terman and Devlin. Witnesses have
been found in West Newton who
claim to have seen Norcross there with
his alleged confederates, and one man
came up from there on the train with
Norcross. Norcross' lips have been
sealed by his lawyer and he has stop
ped denying his crime.

A GRADUAL THAW.
Snow and Ice Will Leave us without
the Least Damage Being Done.

Those who were afraid of flood
and terrible destruction can calm their
fears. The snow is going off in the
best way possible. 1t is melting
without turning loose lot Of water
to tear up everything in the valley be-
low here.
The ice on the river and the streams
emptying into it is thicker than it has
ever been known to be and it is very
hard. The thaw has been fixing it.
1t has been getting rotten and will
likely melt almost entirely before it
starts out.
The gradual thaw is worth thous-
ands of dollars to river people who had
their boats in very precarious condi-
tion in many cases. The rivermen
were fearful that many Of the boats
would be sent TO the bottom when the
break up came but the way in which
it will be done will relieve them of
any danger.
