urday, July goth. This is an annual
picnic but was given earlier this gear
on account Of SO many of U boys
leaving for the campo the following
week.
After the crowd had gathered camp
fires were built and an old stove was
soon in use, and then the good ladies'
commenced frying the chicken, boil
ing potatoes and roasting ears. AT
about twelve O'Clock everyone was
invited to the table to partake of the
spread. After dinner the boys played
another game OF ball. This seemed to
make the ice cream and soda sell
faster. The amount cleared from the
refreshment stand was 81 so, and was
deposited in the bank for the Y. NJ. c.

Mr.. Edgar Fletcher made a short
address in the afternoon, calling for

Alleged Murdered Claims Mind
Is Blank as to Events of

A "5rain storm defense for Cecil

charged with the murder of Mrs. e. l..
'Perras during the Hazelton riot on
the night of June took the stand in
his own behalf.
Pennington under direct examina-

blank on all occurrences of that night.
He could not remember having seen
E. J. Babcock, Charles Armstrong,
Harry Ellithorpe or Louis Torkelson,
four OF the five defendants just ac'
quilted on charges Of rioting and un'
lawful assembly, and whom the state
had charged with having been prime
movers in the organization Of a mob
to "scare" Wallie Daugherty, son-in'
law of the woman who was killed.
On cross examination Pennington
admitted having seen Bert Hartman
on the night of the murder and he re-
called that they had had something
to drink, but he could not remember
where they got 1.-The stuff"
Under direct examination Penning

tained in runaway several years
ago. He exhibited to the jury scars
on his scalp and depressions in his
skull. He testified that from the
time of this accident he has had occa

Pennington was still on the stand
under cross examination, when ad
journment was taken at noon. 1t Is
regarded probable that the court this
afternoon will select board of ex

with a view to determining the extent
to which he may have been affected
mentally by the injuries to his head.
