FISHER REMOVED
TO SUNBURY

Henry Fisher, the Northumberland
county prisoner, accused of murder,
who tried to escape the penalty of that
crime by practicing the insanity dodge
Tuesday was removed from the asy-
lum for the insane at this place to the
county prison at Sunbury.
Sheriff Sharpless, accompanied by
Jesse Long, came up from Sunbury
yesterday morning and proceeded to
the hospital for the insane, where the
final details were arranged for remov-
ing the shamming patient.
Fisher offered no resistance, al
though he made no secret of the fact
that he would rather remain at Dan
Vile. When the sheriff entered the
room in which the man was confined
the latter looked up uneasily.
"Who are you?" he asked
"An officer of the law" replied the
sheriff, "under orders to take you
away from here.
Where am going?" asked Fisher.
"To the hospital for the inourable
insane at Wernersville, was the re-
ply
The latter explanation seemed to re-
assure the fellow somewhat, but he
still demurred.
Il like it here, 4" he said. land the
doctors treat me we'll; if could stay
here believe / would get we'll; feel
better already"
The sheriff put the handouts on the
prisoner He protested that they were
too tight. One of the hospital physi-
clans on examining them said he did
not think the prisoner would be in
jured any and the handouts were not
lOosened.
At the station at South Danville
while waiting for the II 10 Pennsyl-
vania train Fisher proved a first class
attraction to the crowd assembled. In
stead of the raving maniac unloaded
at the same station a few weeks ago
the people saw man perfectly ration
al as far as his outward movements
went. 1t is true, he was securely
handcuffed, but there was nothing to
indicate that the man was not perfect
ly sound mentally and did not know
what he was about
The hospital authorities emphatical-
ly deny the sensational stories printed
in some of the newspapers to the eff
feet that Fisher made an attempt to
escape while inoarcerated in the hos
pital

TAKEN TO THE
PENITENTIARY

Peter Dietrich, who was found
guilty of murder in the second degree
at the last term of court and Saturday
was sentenced by Judge Evans to un'
dergo an Imprisonment of fourteen
years, was taken to the Eastern Pen
itentiary at Philadelphia Tuesday.
Sheriff d. O. Williams was aocompani-
ed by Ezra S. Haas as assistant.
The two men, with the prisoner. left
on the 2 30 Pennsylvania train. The
sheriff was allowed ten days in which
to remove the prisoner and it was not
thought that Dietrich would be taken
away so soon. The trip to the station
was made very quietly and people were
much surprised later in the day to
learn that Dietrich had been removed.
None of Dietrich's friends were at
the station to see him off. The prison
er, however, seemed to be in very good
spirits. He was handcuffed to Mr..
Haas, whose good nature and jolly dis
position seemed to be contagious and
Dietrich, whileEenjoying good cigar,
laughed and chatted pleasantly.
Mr.. Vests remark Saturday. that
theldefense would appeal the case was
promptly followed by such official
action as was necessary. On Mon
day the papers relating TO the appeal
were taken out at the prothonotary' S
Office and from now on the interest of
the case will be closely looked after.
For nearly year and half Die
trich has been confined in the county
prison. The present change is an un-
welcome one, but that the prisoner is
in some measure buoyed up by the
prospects of another trial is only nat
ural.

PRELIMINARY
DECREE GRANTED

The first legal step toward getting
rid of the old cemetery on Bloom
street was taken Saturday, when At
torney Z. S. Gearhart presented the
petition of the trustees of the Grove
Presbyterian church to the court and
Judge Evans in compliance issued a
preliminary decree relating to the
matter
The petition to the judges of the
quarter sessions, which was signed by
Thomas J. Rogers, l. X. Grier, M.
Grier Youngman James 7. Magill, J.
b. Gearhart, L. w. Bartholomew, and
Alexander Foster, trustees, sets forth,
that the said trustees of the Mahoning
Presbyterian English congregation,
north, are the owners and have proper
legal and exclusive control of the
cemetery on Bloom street, the bound
aries and the description of which
there follow, and that by reason of the
growth of the borough and the open
ing and maintenance of other cemet-
cries in the immediate vicinity there
of and from divers other causes, such
as the voluntary removal of remains
there inferred and by the toJal alb
andonment of burial lots, the said
cemetery has become so neglected as
to become public nuisance.
The petitioners pray the court to
authorize and direct the removal by
the trustees of the remains of the dead
from the said cemetery or burial
ground and that the court may grant
to the said trustees such further pow
er, authority and relief as it shall
seem necessary, adequate and proper
in order to legally etfectuate the fore
going purpose and premises.
The court made the following pre-
limlnary decree:
"And now June 8, 1907, upon read
ing the within petition and after due
consideration thereof the court do
hereby fix the sixth day of July, A.
D., 1907 at 10 O. clock in the forenoon
as the time for the hearing of the
parties, their proofs and allegations,
and the court do hereby further order
and direct that the within named
trustees and petitioners give due and
legal notice of such hearing by adver-
tsing in two newspapers printed in
the said borough of Danville for at
least three successive weeks prior TO
the said time fixed for such hearing.
By the Court,
CHARLES @. EVANS, P. j. "
Following the hearing. if the testi-
mony adduced Justify such action, the
court will be asked to make final
decree, authorizing, empowering and
directing the removal of such remains
of the dead as can be found from the
said cemetery by the trustees in a care
| full manner at their own expense to
such other burial ground that they
may select, and, if desired by the rela-
tives or friends, to some proper regul-
ated burial ground in the immediate
/ vicinity. The decree will carefully
! safeguard the graves from desecration
and provide for due and timely notice
/ to all relatives and friends of the in
! tention of the trustees to remove the
/ bodies from the old cemetery in pur-
| suance of this act.
