mainder of his life behind prison bars.
Morganthau's attorneys entered for
him plea of guilty under the ait of
March 81, 1860, and the result lis a
murder trial unique in many Hays.
Witnesses are being heard and, the
whole form of procedure of a regular
trial adopted, but there is no jury sit
ting on the case, the decision resting
in the hands of Judge Sadler alone.
who, under the act of Assembly, is to
determine the degree of guilty and
give his decision accordingly The
penalty of a first degree decision is
death that for second degree impris-
onment with twenty years as the
maximum time of Imprisonment.
This IS only the second case of it's
kind in the history of the county and
the only precedent is found in the
records of procedure for 1869, when
Adam Titus, of Shippensburg, con-
trary to the advice of his attorneys,
entered a similar plea on a charge of
killing neighbor. Witnesses were
heard, as in the present case, with
the result that Judge Graham pro-
nounced a sentence of death and he
was hung in the iailyard here
That Morganthau Will receive a
second degree verdict is universally
conceded, the main fight being to es-
tablish the fact that he was at the
Rupp home to steal chickens in which
case, under the terms of the act, first
degree murder would be the decision.
The case was opened yesterday
morning and bids fair to run several
days into next week.
One of the most pathetic scenes
in years occurred yesterday when
Rupp's aged mother was on the stand.
She broke down as she was testify
ing when the blood-staned clothes
worn by her son on the fatal night
were produced. Her grief affected
that crowd that filed the courtroom
and many a hat was lifted and head
bowed. Judge Sadler himself was visi-
bly, affected.

day and took an oath that he is a
citizen of the United States He then
received passport to travel in Rus

Johnson was rigidly cross-examined
but he persisted that he had never

He denounced as merely newspaper

that he was Frenchman To back
this up he showed passport obtained

FOOTBALL BATTLES
START SEASON TO-DAY
Scholastic Games VIII Open at
Island Park Next Saturday;
Indians VS.. Albright

Intercollegiate football started to-
day with the opening game between
Carlisle Indians and Albright College
at Carlisle. The scholastic game will
open in Harrisburg one week from
High and Montgomery High at Island
Park. Indications point to one of the
most successful seasons in the history
of gridiron sport
Weather conditions up to yester-
day have been favorable for prac-
tice, and the teams have been busy
every day AS is always the case,
there is likely to be warm spell be-
fore the real football weather is here
Coaches hope the cool weather will
continue, but this season they have not
burdened the candidates with heavy
football togs in practice.
Tech High candidates were sched-
uled for long hike to-day. Coach
ID. Forrest Dunkle desires to harden
the players, and is of the opinion that
walking over country roads and
climbing mountains puts a football
player in shape to stand the scrim-
images. He says he is much pleased
with the work of his squad. With
three different teams working every
day, everybody is kept busy on Mon
day Coach Dunk1e will pick out two
teams for scrimmage work, and from
these teams will pick the men who
will lineup in the opening game at
Pottsville next Saturday.
Central High Is showing speed.
Coach Paul Smith believes he will
have a strong eleven in the field with
in the next three weeks. The raw
material is showing encouraging form.

52D ANNIVERSARY
OF ANT|ETAM BATTLE
Survivors of 132d Penna. Vols.
Hold Reunion at Famous
Bloody Lane"
Special to The Telegraph

Hagerstown, Nd, Sept. 19.-On
Thursday the fifty-econd anniversary
of the Battle of Antietam was observ-
ed by half a hundred survivors of the
132nd Pennsylvania Regiment, which
participated in the terrible fighting at
Bloody Lane, where the regiment has
erected handsome. monument to
mark their position. A meeting was
held In the historic old Dunkard
Church, which was the center of the
fiercest fighting of the battle and still
bears the scars of numerous shells.
After the meeting, the veterans drove
over the battlefield studying the posi-
tions of both armies and recalled
scenes and incidents of one of the
most sanguinary engagements of the
Civil war.
The regiment belonged to the First
Brigade of General McClellan's army
and was commanded by Brigadier-
General Nathan Kimball. The 132nd
Regiment lost 162 men in the battle,
While the combined loss of the bri-
gade was 639, rs of this number being
oincers. The great war raging in
Europe has revived interest in the
battle at Antietam where the losses
on the September day in 1862 have
probably not been surpassed in anv
of the battles in France. Belgium or
Austria when compared to the num-
Der of men engaged.
At Antietam National Cemetery
4751 Union dead are buried and in
Washington Cemetery in Hagerstown
lie $500 Confederate dead who fell
at Antietam. Besides this number
train loads of bodies of soldiers were
sent to their homes. The number
wounded on each side in the battle is
estimated at 5000, making a total loss
of $4,000 out of $4,000 actually en-
gagged, of which number, $4,000 were
Union and 10000 Confederates.
