mate of California.
All automobile owners and persons

meeting. The undersigned were ap-

Boy Who Murdered Garage
Man Must Die For Crime
Especial to the Telegraph.)

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. Z5.-Clnr-
ence Collins, of Gettysburg, will go
to the electric chair for the murder
of George Bushman, Of Gettyburg'
in Adams county last year. Judge
Mcpherson, of Adams county, this
morning refused the pleas of Col
Inns attorneys for a new trial, and
this afternoon sentenced him to the
electric chair. Bushman's body had
been found in bushes along the Sus-
quehanna river in Riverside, Harris
burg, to which point the body is
said to have been taken by automo-
bile.
The pleas of Collins attorneys for
a new trial was based largely on
the question of Jurisdiction. 1t was
held that the crime occurred in
Cumberland county and in conse-
quence should be- heard in Cumber-
land county court. Judge McPher-
son ruled, however, that sufficient
evidence had been produced to show
that the crime took place in Adams
county. An error in the middle ini-
tial of one of the jurors had been
seized upon by the attorneys as a
basis for plea for new trial, but
Judge Mcpherson ruled that this
technicality was of minor import
ance.
Collins, together with Charles
Reinecker, of Gettysburg, had been
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree at the January sessions of Ad-
ans county court. Pleas were taken
in both cases, but the Reinecker
case has not yet been heard.
