Sha meless Deeds Against Paupers.
Venango Grand Jury tndicts County Commits.
sioner, Steward and Others.

Shocking conditions at the We
mango County Poorhouse have been
revealed by the Grand Jury
that has been making an investiga.
tion. AS result of the report six
persons have teen indicted for va
rious crimes.
The most prominent among them
is County Commissioner H. H.
Baumgardner, of Oil City, now
serving his second term. He is
charged with criminally assaulting
two young women inmates of the
poorhouse, including a negress:
with carrying away from the poor
house large quantities of provisions,
and with taking a rake-off of more
than $500 from plumbing done in
the Court House and poorhouse.
1t is also charged that he had car
ried away produce, butter, meat
and other goods from the farm and
taken them to his home at Oil City.
The Grand Jury recommended i'm.
mediate action to remove him from
office.
Judge George S. Criswell has or
dered a special term of Criminal
Court for the first week in March
for the trial of Commissioner Baum
gardner and the five others. This
is two months sooner than the trials
ordinarily would have occurred.
The other defendants are Mrs.
Charlotte Baumgardner. wife of the
Commissioner, accused of taking
from the poorhouse dress goods,
muslins and provisions: J. Homer
Sutton. steward of the poorhouse,
charged with criminal assaults up
on inmates and aiding in the re-
moval of the county's property
from the poorhouse; Mrs. Lillian
Sutton, his wife, accused of the lar
ceny of dress goods, etc from the
poorhouse; Roy Sutton, an employe
of the State Highway Department
and son of the steward, accused of
criminal relations with inmates, and
William Small, accused of SINH
laI crime.
One of the accusations against
Commissioned Baumgardner is that
the county paid seamstress $26 to
do sewing for the poorhouse, and
she spent half of her time sewing
for Mrs. Baumgardner, Baumgard-
ner is a Republican, and had aspi-
rations for the Legislature.
The Grand Jury took oc ,asion to
score the County Commissioners for
general negligence. and made a
number Of recommendation rela-
tive to safeguards that should be
taken to prevent irregularities. 1t
was recommended that no more
county bridges be built, for the
reason that the county is already
saga 900 in debt, and, if two bridg-
es proposed are erected the debt
will be almost $500, 900. This
may knock out these two struct-
ures-one in Franklin and the 9TH
er in Oil City.
The county authorities are also
reprimanded for not being more
thorough in their work of inspect
ing the Commissioners accounts.
