at Tobyhanna, man giving the name
OF John A. Brown, Of the latter place,
Yale graduate, and supposed to be the
leader OF a band Of thieves, received
bullet wounds which caused his death
in the State HOSPITAL in Scranton The
hospital authorities do not know what
the dead mans real name was He was
shot by all three OF the detectives Two
of the bullets entered his head and his
skull was fractured. Both of his lungs
were also puncturcd by bullets and either
OF the wounds might have caused death.
The only other injured participant in
the shooting is Charles Beggs, detec-
tive, who was shot through the left arm
He was removed to Scranton and taken
to the State Hospital. Besides Beggs,
the other detectives were Charles l..
Whippe and Mason Gillen, all being
connected with detective agency of
Scranton. Lying on the floor OF the
rough cabin where he received his death
wound, and doubtless feeling that he
had only few hours to live, Brown told
Detective Whipple something of his
carly life. He said that he came of a
good family in New York city, and was
graduated from Yale few years ago.
Among other things, the detective says
he told him that he had committed
serious crime in New Jersey some time
ago, but was at first slow to mention it,
for fear that it he recovered from the
wound he would be held for it. He adj
mitted having committed several robbcr-
les. Browns age was about 80 years,
his appearance good and he gave the
impression of opc vino had had excel
lent training in good family and
good education.
'We are going to enforce the law
against the school directors OF Waynes-
boro, proceeding first by mandamus TO
compel them TO keep children from
school who do not hold vaccination GER
tiicatcs, and if they insist in their de-
finance VIC will proceed under the penal
statutes" said Attorney General Carson,
speaking of the action of the Waynes-
boro school directors and teachers in
allowing several unvaccnated children
10 attend school when warned not to do
SO. A conference was held between At
iorncy General Carson, State Health
Commissioner Dixon and Supeninten-
dent of Public Instruction Schaeffer,
over the defiance of the Waynesboro
school authorities in flying in the face
of the law and the State authorities, the
object being to decide on what should be
the method of procedure. Ii was decided
that the way to reach them is TO begin
nlandamus proceedings to compel the
school directors to obey the law and
keep out all children who do not hold
certificate of vaccination. If they do not
heed the mandamuses and persist in
their defiance, then the penal clause of
the law will be invoked and somebody
is going TO be heavily fined. DR.. Dixon
is determined that this open defiance of
the law shall cease. The conduct Of the
Waynssboro school directors is all the
more fragrant because it was only few
months ago that the court of Franklin
County decided the law to be constitu-
tional.
