Gray Haired Offender, With Prison Rec

Two to Three Years

His hair iron gray, his face wrinkled
and his body stopped with age, Harry
Fortney, 62 years old, stepped up to
the bar before Judges Kunkel and Me
Carrell this morning and eoolly admit
ted that he stole money, jewelry and
clothing from half a dozen Harrisburg
homes, all within two weeks.
Besides several Jail terms he said
without hesitancy that he served out a
three-year penitentiary sentence i'm
posed by the Dauphin county court in
1909, on several larceny charges, and
also did time in Ohio penal institutions.
The Court sent him back to the peni
tentiary, this time for a term of not
less than two years or more than three
City detectives said Forney is one of
the "slickest' boarding house thieves
known to them. His scheme, they said,
was to engage boarding at a place by
representing himself as a carpenter and
his residence as Mechaniesburg, and a
day later to ''skip out" with any val
uables he can get his hands on.
In one home he took child s bank
containing SO; in another he got purse
containing money, and in a third he
walked out with SIG. He got pair of
trousers in the next, stole watch from
the fifth and got money in a sixth.
Forney had no excuse to offer, pre-
ferring to have his story told by his
attorney who said the defendant is

FUND FOR FAMILY OF
BLUEC0AT KILLED BY HOHL

Especial to the Star independently
Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 21.-Public
spirited citizens have started a move
ment to raise a fund for the family of
Patrolman Edward Knaul who died
from bullet wounds inflicted ,ast Thurs
day by Frank 6. Hohl, the Harrisburg,
Pa, bandit, who looted two banks here
and finally was shot to death on that
day. The wife and mother of the dead
bluecoat are practically penniless, and
il is proposed either to hold benefit
for the family in Music Hall or to cor
culate subscription list to raise $1,000
to lift the mortgage carried on the home
Knaul bought last spring.
The police relief fund Immediately
advanced enough money to tide the be-
reaved family over for the present. The
brave policeman was insured in the Po-
lice Protective Association and his heirs
will receive about $500 from that
source.
The surgeons in the City Hospital
who operated on Knaul just before his
death learned that the last death deal
ing bullet from Hohl's revolver pene-
trated tic policeman s liver, tearing its
way through the anterior and posterior
abdominal walls, and the marvel is that
the bluecoat did not die in his tracks.
One bullet pierced the right lower arm,
coming out above the elbow; another
imbedded itself in the middle upper
arm; fourth entered the right shoulder
and the fifth plowed its way into the
left leg between the knee and the
thigh.
