new project; among the number be-
ing Mrs. Samuel Katz, New York,

Hunkele says that he courts a
full investigation. His statements,
aside from the fact that he wanted
to have the sons placed in an insti-
tuition for the weak minded, and the
finding of the body of Charles under
the bed after a thorough search had
been made by officers, nothing has yet
been unearthed that would point to
the guilt of the father. No poison
of any kind was found about the
premises. Hunkele stoutly main
tains that he did not hear Charles
enter the house Friday night, though
he admits he did not sleep well. He
said he feared for his safety, as he
had left the house with only one shoe
and stocking on. He often went out
in the winter time in that manner,
he said. He didn't know any better.
The feeling in the community has
abated somewhat and the suspect has
many friends who will not believe he
had anything to do with the double
tragedy.
Mr.. Hunkele was in Honesdale this
week and called on Charles A. Nc
Carty, Esq. What the exact nature
of the interview was cannot be def
nitely ascertained; but from certain
TelldDle sources IL is Sdlu IldI ne 10
concerned about having lawyer.
He Is known to have little or no
money, and in that case the court
would be compelled to appoint some
lawyer to defend him. He is going
about his business however, as usual,
and seems apparently calm and self
possessed.
On his way home Hunkele dropped
into a tailoring shop and took away
with him two pairs of trousers which
he had ordered three weeks ago for
his sons.
"If l intended killing my boys"
said Hunkele leaving the shop, 81
would not come here three weeks
ago and buy my clothes"

GLASS CUTTER KILLED AT
DEPOSIT.

Three glass cutters, either present
or former employees of a cut glass
works in Deposit, formerly in Homes
dale, are in the village lookup in
Deposit, awaiting an inquest to be
held into the cause of death of AL
fred Thompson, another glass cut
ter, 26 years old, who was found
dead in a room occupied by the four
men in the Loomis House, in the
no-license village of Deposit, at 10
o'clock Saturday night.
Thompson came to his death by
shooting, the bullet, it is asserted
by all three prisoners, being acci-
dentally fired by Walter Langan, 20
years old, one of the three prisoners.
The other two are Thomas Simmons
and Richard Drake. The four, they
say, went to Langan's room on the
third floor to have a friendly talk.
Thompson sat on the bed, and Lam
gan examined a revolver, and in
some way the revolver exploded. The
bullet struck Thompson directly at
the point of the nose, and went
downward, lodging in the spine at
the base OF the brain. Death was in
stantaneous.
Following the shooting, the pris-
oners maintain, they were unnerved
by the incident, until one of their
number went out and called in the
authorities. When the police en-
tered the revolver was found lying
on the dresser with one empty cart
fridge in the barrel and four unex-
ploded ones lying alongside. Car I.
lay scattered about the room.
All three say there was no bad
feeling between them and that the
affair was accidental. Upon direc'
tion of Coroner II. w. Wilcox, the
men were held by Constable Scheur,
en- for the inquest.

the vital organs of the Hunkele
Brothers, who met such tragic end
in Palmyra township last week, have
been sent to the University of Penn
sylvania laboratories in Philadelphia
for further analysis.
The very fact that the result of
the autopsy is being held back, and
that the Scranton doctors are dis
playing such extraordinary secrecy
and caution and want their findings
corroborated, gives rise to strong
suspicious. Did they find poison in
their search? What was the nature
of the drug that did it's deadly work,
if drug there was? Was it a case of
suicide? The latter theory seems
almost untenable. AS far as can be
learned, the brothers did not have
any love affairs. Their worst fault,
if fault it can be called, was the fact
that they had such voracious appe-
tites.
do you think | brought up my
two sons to nearly a half century of
life each, taking care OF them all
the time, to make away with them
at my time of life?" was the reply
made by the accused father who is
under $500 bail, to a reporter We'd
nesday morning.
Did you ever quarrel with your
sons?" he was asked.
Il sometimes had to scold them, y
was the rejoinder, but l never pun
ished them. / scolded them last
Thursday. | told them to pull just

Mrs. Hunkele also testifies to the
healthy appetites of her two step
sons.
Often" she said, they would ge
up in the middle of the night anC
cook enough cabbage and meat TO
a whole family and at breakfast tim'
be ready for another large meal"
The neighbOrhood gossip to the eff
feet that Mrs. Hunkle had refused
to come back and live with her hus
band until the sons were made Il
leave the house, seems to be withou
foundation. She was called to New
Haven, Conn, to visit relative VIII,
was sick and returned immediatel
upon the receipt of telegram an

PLEA FOR GIRL TRAINING.

way they dress their hair in these
days" said Charles w Evans, prin-
cipal of the local high school, this
afternoon in the opening address at
the tenth annual meeting of the
New Jersey Congress of Mothers.
They are frivolous because they
don't get the right kind of training.

Chester PedagOgues Fail TO Comply
With Instructors Request.

West Chester, Pa, Nov. 15.-The
instructors attending the county in
stitute were early in line this morn
ing to give their help in making the
annual affair a success. Sectional
work was started with Mrs. Emily
Higgins in charge. This feature of
the institute serves to bring the
teachers into close contact with the
practical things pertaining to every
day school work, and thus far has
been quite satisfactory.
Professor Jerry March, who has
charge of the music, complimented
the teachers on their handsome hats
but politely requested them to re-
move them during the exercises,
which request was not honored to
any appreciable extent.

From several Investigations tnat

that on an average about 10 per

c,siptry is afflicted with tuberculosis
ON This basis. out Of the 10000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
~ the United States at any given

number would be much larger. Some
Of the prisons Of Pennsylvania. Kan

ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these

Similar conditions could be found In
almost every state. and in the major
